 Editor of THE BEE. Dear Sir: Your article in the last issue of the New England Homestead expresses feel ing have long entertained regarding New England, and especially Connecti- cut, which is now considered only suburban to New York. An agent for the American Harrow Co. of Michi- gan, who has travelled through every state in the Union and Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and different parts of Canada, says without doubt Connecticut has the most and best spring water to be had. No farm is so situated that it cannot have spring water brought to it, almost every part is easily reached by steam or trolley and usually not more than two hours from New York. am of course most interested in my own locality, which is in lower Litchfield county, near the junction of the Shepaug and Housa tonic rivers, Shepaug railroad and station. The scenery is varied and beautiful and spoken highly of by tourists going through Litchfield Hills. It would be an ideal spot for the building of vacation houses, priv ate schools, sanitariums, private resi- dences or anything in that line. My idea has been to get some one inter- ested to do something of that kind. Much of it is done from time to time in other places. Of course realize it takes money to boom thing of this kind buts much can be done as you suggest. At present building material is very expensive but stone and ce- ment make very desirable substitutes, and are much used for basements, first stories, etc., where formerly wood was thought necessary. The business that would naturally follow those things would greatly benefit com. munity, making work for men owning teams, selling produce, etc. Our home is very pleasantly situated but instead of selling and going elsewhere to start would prefer to bring something here. There are many acres that could be bought cheaply that would almost fur nish material for building on the place. On this place quarry could be opened with profit making another source of income. The Shepaug railroad bridge piers across the Housatonic river were
 built .from..stone taken from this place.
 Bridgewater is town of low taxes and
 there is much to recommend it on any
 line and to show them up is the object
 of your paper and the New England

 Bladder troubles almost always result from Arrangement of the kidneys and a cure is obtained quickest by a proper treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel ing badly you can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.

LIFE IS PREFERABLE

A scientist gives it as his opin-
ion that life in big city makes
young children quick but not in
telligent. He holds that city life
destroys their chances of being
clever, for it hastens the develop
ment of the brain unnaturally;
makes them superficial, alert, but
not observant; excitable but with
out enthusiasm. They are apt to
grow blase, tickle, discontinued.
They see more things than the
country bred child, but they do
not properly see anything, for they
have neither the time nor capaci-
ty to get at the root of all the be
wildering objects that crowd
themselves into til il young lives.
Doubtless there is much truth in
what this scientific observer says.
City life is not calculated to pro-
duce students. There is too much
to distract the attention, to divert
the mind. Superfciality takes the
place of real thought or substan-
tial requirement. The young learn
too many things that are not
worth knowing or that it is injur-
ious to know, and too few things
that they ought to know.

TAKERS RUNNING THE: MACHINE

The criticism made by Chancel-
lor Day, of Syracuse University,
on Government by magazine SEN
sationalists, and his warning that
when Senators and Representatives
receive orders from the Executive,
we are monarchy without the
name, are well merited by the con
ditiOns which exist.
OF course no man can expect
President Roosevelt to be deliber-
ate or to have anything akin to
judicial temperament. What he
does must be done with whoop
and a yell. 1t must be "sprnng"
ON the people.
But the people are going to turn
away from this nauseating and
dangerous manner of carrying on
public affairs. Ifprivate business
interests were conducted like
Roosevelt would have the Govern
ment run, they would be a sad
mess.
Roosevelt seems to have taken
on some of the style of the tlashy
and sensational Wall street specu-
latOrs, reckless men who corner
the market today and are penny
less tomorrow, and who have no
care for the future. They are
looking to the results in the imme-
diate present, without regard to
what their influence will be on the
future.
Is there no one in Washington
capable of holding the President
down? What has become of Taft
and Root? Are they afraid of him
or have they lost influence over
him? How will some of the mes
sages which Roosevelt sent to Con-
gress read in few years time?
If the Chief Executive ofthe Ma
ton does not set us an example in
patience and prudence and exact
ness, and care for the truth, the
whole truth aud nothing but the
truth, can we look for it in lesser
places? The man who takes that
which does not belong to him be-
cause of bis strength may be
classed with the rest of the high
way robbers, wherever his habitat
or whoever he may be.

BRUNSWICK STEW.
A GastrOnomic Triumph With "a Ma
tiOnaI Reputation.

This celebrated stew originated in
takes it's name--a county most famous
in antebellum days for it's perfect
cuisine and astronomical predilec-
tons. The originator was either Mr..
Haskins or Mr.. Stith, each claiming
during q long life the distinction of
having made the first stew and dying
without a proper adjustment of the con-
troversy. Willie made everywhere in
the habitable globe, it is seldom made
properly. 1t was introduced in Paris
by Judge John 7. Mason of Virginia.
Only in Brunswick county is this stew
SO appetiZing, so piquant In the season
ing to be found in all it's perfection.
To this remark of the writer made to
Il gentleman in the far south he re-
plies, ''The egotism of a VTginian
suggests perfection in all things there,
and the slow pace of the state ample
time to arrive at it." The recipe is as
follows One of three kinds of meat is
used-lamb, chicken or squirrel If
chicken, it is first parbofled, cut up as
if to fry the outer skin removed, then
put on Ia hot water-a-plenty to cover
it-a large onion cut fine, a large slice
of middling meat cut fine, black and
red pepper in abundance and salt.
After cooking until the bones can be
extracted, and hot water added if not
enough. corn cut off the cob and to-
matoes chopped fine are added, with
half pound of butter, more pepper
and salt. Before serving add stale
light breadcrumbs. Never add Irish
potatoes or butter beans or any vege-
table save corn and tomatoes. Serve
In a tureen. 1t should be the consist
ency of thick soup and very highly sea-
soned. 1t is considered one of the
finest Of stews and has a national

Gamer fcanisms."

"Fired out" commonly supposed to
be an "Americanism," has been traced
home to Shakespeare. II. one Of his
sOnnets he says:
Yet this shall ne'er know, but live in
doubt
Till my bad angel fire my good one out
Say" as an exclamation to attract
attention to the beginning of a remark,
is common enough and not very ele-
CANT AT least so thought a school
teacher who resolved to break his pu-
pills of the habit of using it. A bright
one quoted, however, this from 'The
Star Spangled Banner"
Oh, say, can you see?
If the American people sing "sayw
in the national hymn, say, why not say
"Say?"

AN EMPEROR'S TASTE.
It Was the Origin of a Common Say,
ing In Austria.

It Was the Origin of q Common Say
ing In Austria.
An anecdo4e which was current Of
Ferdinand l. Of Austria at one time
greatly delighted his subjects and gave
rise to a common saying. One sum-
mer day he was hunting in the Syrian
mountains and was overtaken by a
violent thunderstorm. He sought ref
uge in a farmhouse whose occupants
were just then at dinner, and his fan
cy was caught by some smoking dump
lings made of coarse flour. He tasted
them, liked them and asked for more,
and when he got to Vienna, to the hor-
Tor of the royal cooks, he ordered the
same dumptngs to be served up daily.
The courtiers were scandalized that
such a coarse dish should figure on
the menu, and even his physicians re-
monstrated against the use of such
food
The emperor had always been the
most plant of men, but he now show
ed that he had will of his own and
persisted in gratifying his new fancy,
Finally the physicians pretended that
it was dangerous to his health to be
living on dumplings and insisted on>his
giving them up. The hitherto docile
sovereign stamped his foot and de-
clared that he would never sign anoth-
er official document if his diet were
denied him.
Emperor 1 am" he shouted, "and
dumplings / will havew
To prevent a stoppage of the govern
ment machinery opposition was with
drawn, and his majesty chung tena-
ciously to his dumplings. Then the ira-
perial phrase became proverbial, and
thereafter when any one insisted on
gratifying a silly whim some one was
sure to say:
Emperor am, and dumplings will
