IN THAMEsLAND; Being the Gossiping
Record of Rambles through England
from the Source of the Thames to the
Sea, with Casual Studies of the Eng
1ish People. their Historic and Ro-
mantle Shrines, the Whole Forming a
Guide to the Thames Valley. BY Henry
Wellington Wack, r. r. @. s., author
of The Romance of Victor Hugo and

100 illustrations. New York: g. p

ward & Lothrop.
With the geographers zest for knowl-
edge of the source Of things and the true
character Of a region, Mr.. Waek has be-
come the biographer Of the Thames,
river admirably suited to such an cxplora-
ton as he undertook with friends. Saun-
tering along, walking. wheeling and row.
ing, he explored the entire valley. and the
tale he tells Of his experiences is calcu-
lated to whet the interest of all lovers Of
the picturesque and to turn the steps Of
many an American into that delectable re-
gion. The Thames is q river of romance,
Of history. of tragedy, Of comedy. and
above all II is beautiful beyond perfect
description. Between the enthusiasm OF
his text and the highly artistic quality
OF his Illustrations, however, the author
manages To convey sense OF it's soft
loneliness Its pastoral charm, It's attrac-
lions to the tourist and Its Significance to
the resident. In the course OF the text
he contrlves to impart much substantial
information as to the records of the an

WORK IN NORTH END
New Streets Being Opened Up in All
 Sections.

The city is doing considerable work in the matter of opening new streets In all parts of the city, especially in the north end, where owners of real estate keep after the powers that be with such persistency that 1t Is hard to say mo" to them for they won't take it for an answer. Property own CTS in the south end should adopt similar tactics and keep them up un- til they get few streets extended to their logical terminus. The first and probably the one that demands atten- ton most is Hickory street, which should be carried through to Calvin street. There is lot of valuable property hemmed In between these points which never will amount to anything until Hickory street Is ex- tended. All the property owners with the work done, but they don't make noise enough about 1t to at tract the attention of the city fathers The boards took it up once or twice, but for some reason> or other they dropped it. If the property owners want that street laid out they should make another try.

BENEDICT { BURNHAM BUYS
People Who Expected to See Cross S. From JeWely St Disappointed.

The Benedict & Burnham Manu- featuring Co has purchased from Samuel M. Schneer, Leocaedi Fren- nette, Charles A. Parker and Laura L. Knibbs piece of property front ing f60 feet on Benedict street, 24O feet on Jewelry street and bounded by the Naugatuck river 290 feet. The property included the place covered by the company's spur track and the path running from Jewelry street to Bank. It is in the line so often marked out for the extension of Jew elry street, and inasmuch as 1t will be used for factory purposes 1t buries the hope of people who expected to see a cross street there. and ought to show the city fathers the evil effects of the shilly shallying policy of the city government on this question. A great effort was made to get different administrations to take hold of that project, but for some reason nobody in authority ever attempted to make a move in that direction. Every ad- ministration that has been In power for the past twenty years is open to censure on this question, but as what is everybody's business is nobody's business. nobody cares much about this. although it is of vital impor- tance to the whole community.
 The transfer was made through the agency of D. J. Griffin.

BOTH HAVE MADE GOOD
German ind Irlsh Immigrants Our Best
 Citizens 0thers VIII Also.

To the Rev Joel s. Ives and the Connecticut Missionary society, who are constantly harping on the danger to this great. glorious and free re- public from the illiteracy of the for eigner. the following facts ought too prove instructive and enlightening. The second annual report of the New York education department gives the following figures for New York state: In eleven counties there are from 40 to DO per cento the children of na- tive parents over 0 years of age who cannot read or write. In four others the percentage varies from 52 to 65, and In Schoharie 1t Is actually 76, that is to say, three out of every four children of native percentage cannot read or write. And in Schoharie the foreigner is almost unknown. How explain the fact, ye enlightened na- tive born! If illiteracy is to prove such menace to the country, what an abundant harvest of danger the country will reap from the native- born of its own Empire state.
 With the Rev MT Ives the Italian Is supposed to be the incarnation of danger from the standpoint of Hitter acy. The immigration bureau in it's census of 1904 gives the following concerning the Italian. It says that of those coming from northern Italy II per cent could not read or write, and 46.56 of those coming from southern Italy. This percentage is indeed high enough, but when com pared with the figures of the New York education department. they do not put the foreigner in such an en- tirely bad light. To these somewhat hysterical native born might repeat the, admonition of Christ: Take the beam out of thine own eye and then thou shalt be better able to see the mote in thy brothers eye"
 Again, we hear so much of the Italian and the Slav being a burden on our public institutions. In this respect also the figures of the immi- grafton bureau are interesting. In its census of 1904 1t tells us that in public institutions in which aliens were confined 5S8 were of Irish. Ger man and English origin, while only 2S.S were Slavic and Italian. Now, the time has gone by when men can rail in spirit of bitter religious and race prejudice against Germans and Irish. They had their day of passing through the crucible of hatred. and events have proved that the dire pre- dictions made concerning them were | groundless. But evidently, If figures do not lie, the Italian and Slav of to- day compare favorably with those whom the force of facts has obliged to. acknowledge as desirable acquisi- tions to our shores.
 The Scandinavian seems to be the pet foregn child of the Rev MT Ives. Our government in the census re- ports includes a Scandinavian. Nor way, Sweden and Denmark. Let MT Ives compare the statistics as to mor- l ality in these countries with those of the Italians and the Slav and we 1 won't find condition of affairs that l will be too ,prepossessing in favor of | his pet.

SOME YIDDISH DOGGEREL
ELIAS MARGOLIS

But with the breaking up OF Russian
Jewish life, the infusion OF western Ideas
in the life of Russian villages, the stern
reality attending pogroms and massa-
cres. one branch of the Yiddish htera-
ture is in grave danger Of being entirely
lost. | refer to Yiddish doggerel and
folklore. which are intimately associated
with the Jewish hearth and home. Rus
sian Jewish minstrelsy has already be-
come obsolete. The recent death OF Ella
kim Zunser, the last of the badchanim,
has already apprised us of this fact.
Russian Jewish bard, who in time OF
peace and tranquility was wont at we'd
ding and feast to sing the happy songs OF
nonsense and frivolity, is more apt to-
day to sing dirges of lamentatlon and
the epics Of martyrdom.
Jewish folklore and doggerel belong
to the realm of traditional literature,
which makes a complete anthology OF
these homely rhymes well nigh impossl-
bic. They were used as the grooming llll
labys at the cradle Of the child, as the
hippant jests at wedding and other intl-
mate home festivals, as the corrective
warnings addressed to reprobate young
sters and as the satires on foolish house
wives and lovesick maidens Some OF
these rhymes contain a wealth OF tradl-
tional allusion. | have gathered few
of the more popular ones, some OF them
the traditions of my own childhood 9TH
ers, garnered from the memories OF older
ones, for the readers delectation. Wher-
ever it has been feasible, | have made
translations into English doggerel.

The international language of the Jew
of the Diaspora is Yiddish. or, as it is
sometimes known, JudaeO-German. The
Yiddish-speaking Jews of the world to-
day comprise three -fifths of the entire
Jewish population In later years this
cosmopolitan tongue has come to be re-
garded as something other than an un-
couth hybrid jargon, Il creation of the
Galuth and dialect to be dropped as
an unclean garment, in the period OF Is
raels cultural emancipation. For,
language in which people has thought,
expressed itself ideally and has penned
it's joys and sorrows, cannot be disposed
of thus. A language which has run the
entire gamut of literary expression,
which has been the effective vehicle for
essayist, poet, dramatist and humorist,
merits our serious consideration, even
though it be the despair Of the philolog
and grammarian.
Yiddish is a living tongue. In st. Pc
tersburg and in New York, in Warsaw
and in Chicago. thousands of Jews read
the world s news. and the chronicles OF a
day s happenings, in that language. In
the Jewish quarter of the American me-
trOpOlis four theaterS are devoted eXclu
sively to the Yiddish drama. There, Yid
dish actors present the works of Yiddish
playwrights to. Yiddish audiences. In
the New York subway ears the sight Of
one reading a Yiddish ''yellow' with
scare headlines about the latest murder
or St Petersburg riots. or a pamphlet
fresh from the Blnd s Press in Geneva,
elcts no surprise.
This estimate is based upon the statis
tics found in the American Jewish Year Book

mental value of the compost, it
1t is safe to say that at least so
per cent. can be added to the
productIveness of the average
100 acre farm a year, and that
simply at the cost of a few tons
of acid phosphate aud a little la
Dor. With the compost and the
COW pea at his service to save
and gather nitrogen for him, the
average farmer is simply throw.
ing his money away when he
buys that substance in CONNER
cial fertilizer, for he could raise
all of this substance his land
needs upon bis farm. Economy
should be his watchword: and
there is no Better place for him
to start than by stopping the
waste Of nitrogen that is so fa-
grant throughout, the whole
South. The soil is the farmers
bank, and the fertility stored
therein by nature is his capital.
He can no more expect to draw
indefinitely upon this supply
without ultimately exhausting it.
than he could expec, to be hon.
ored without making fresh de-
posits.
The people of the South have
been doing this for years and
their credi, 10 natures bank in
getting low. Every ton of hay

from which is not returned to

tremendous loss from improp-
err handling easily explains why
our farmers find it necessary to
use such large quantities Of
manure 10 derive much benefit
from it. 1t will be observed that
even when the manure is stored
10 the shed there is loss. BY
covering the manure heap with
certain substances it is found
that not only can this loss be
prevented, but that our stock of
manure can be very greatly in
creased. 4 ton of ordinary
loam will absorb ID pounds of
nitrogen, and if placed over the
manure heap will prevent all
loss of that substance. Sawdust
will absorb 8 pounds per ton.
Wheat straw will absorb nearly
4 pounds of the nitrogen.
The necessity of absorbcnts
brings Us to the consideration OF
the com post heap. BY the COM
post heap the farmer Is able to
multiply his available manure
many io.d. We should remem.
Der that anything Of vegetable
or animal origin is \ valuable fer
tilizcr. if put into = proper con
dition. The compost heap is
the means of doing this. One
ton of leaves contains II pounds
of nitrogen and b pounds of
phosphoric acid and b pounds OF
potash; and at ordinary values
for these substances 10 worth
nearly $500. i ton OF straw
similarly is worth s. IS and saw
dust 500. These values, OF
course, are based on their total
com position. In actual practice
il il safe to assume that half OF
their values are available. But
it is only after undergoing fer.
mentation 10 the compos, heap
that these values are available.
That il will pay the farmer to
give moe attention to the COM
pos, heap has been repeatedly
proven by practical trials. A,
the North Louisiana Expert
meut Station, Calhoun. La,
the following results we're OBJ
tanned: The land nor mally
would produce one-four,h bale
Of cotton and seven TO ten bush
els OF corn. BY the annual ap-
plication OF thirty bushels per
acre OF \ compost com posed OF
stable manure, cotton seed, acid
phosphate and loan, this yield
