UnseIfish Friendship.
1t is the rarcst thing on earth.

There have heen friendships in the
world so rare and so beautiful as to
become historical They stand like
beacons on a mountain top. showing
that men have scaled the height and
that others may follow in their foot
steps. Yet down the mountainside, on
every hand. lie the fragments Of hrok =
en- friendship. as eff vessels that once
held the oil Of consistency destined to
kindle the beacon of n glorious ideal
fulfilled but long since spilled and
wasted
Purely unsclflsh friendship is ono o1
he rarest things OH earth. To the
man who has won wealth AMI fame
to the hopeful aspirant who is looking
forward to a golden future il is easy
Ia extend the hand Of friendship it
is worth while to know such persons.
But when n man. instead nf winning
the laurel wreath. has failed utterly.
mserahly. in his career. though fail
ure may have been more bitter to- him
than the sting Of death and the dark
ness of the grave. and as unavoidable.
then it is that the test Of true friend
ship is made. and there are few who
possess that large. universal. stead
fast and loving spirit" which is re-
1uired to meet It's demands.
In real friendship there is no room
for selnshness. One should think long
and seriously before he offers his
friendship; he should hesitate before
proclaiming himself friend to an
other, lest in the wear and tear of life,
succumhing to the weakness of the
flesh. he should fail i'm his professions
fail. perhaps. in a moment when
some discnrra ged soul is looking for
aid.

 Jacob Riis Gives Forth to the World Four of the President's Ideals. NEW YORK. April 1S.-Jacob A. Riis, the friend of President Roosevelt, who has just returned from n visit to the White House, brings these four hitherto unpublished maxims from the president:
 First. t.-Fit yourself for the work God has for you to do in this world and lose no time about 1t.
 Second. Have all the fun that Is coming to you.
 ''Third.-Go ahead. do something and be willing to take responsibility.
 Fourth. Learn by your mistakes" "No one can drive the president" said MT. Riis. He may do wrong, but I have yet to see him do wrong, and if he does he learns from his errors.'
 Mir. Riis said that the idea of a third term was distasteful to the president, but that he was determined that his successor should be man who would continue the policies of his administra- ton.
 If the matter rested with the people of the United States, Theodore Roose- velt would be elected for third term said MT. Rfis. "The only thing that stands in the path of a third term is Mir. Roosevelt's decision not to accept if"

HIGH BIRTHRATE IN STATE, But the Board of Health Says Death
 rate is Going Up Too.

Iu the bulletin of the State Board |of health for the month of March Secretary Townsend. says that sta Itistics for the year 1905 show high birthrate and an increasing num- Der of marriages, the only disquieting fact being that the death rate is also high. He says: ss The number of births registered was 23,271, which is an increase of 4O7 births over the previous year and is the highest number ever re- corded in any one year. In S,32S births both parents were American and in 14,591 births one Or both pa rents were foreign. The number of marriages registered was S,O75, which was 440 more than the num- Der registered in 1904. This was one person married to every 61.2of the population.
 The deaths reported were l6,29S, which was 5S7 more than in the pre- ceding year. The death rate was I16.4 per 1000 living population which is slightly higher than any year since 1900. when the death rate was Is per 1000 of population. In thirty-eight towns the deaths ex- ceed the births. The total excess of deaths over births in these towns or the natural loss of population was 22S. The loss this way was twenty two less than in the previous year. In eight towns the births and deaths were equal and in 122 towns the births exceeded the deaths.
 "The number of divorces granted in 1905 was 491, which was twenty seven more than the average for the past ten years. The ratio of divorce to marriage was 1 to 16.4. Of the divorces 260 were granted on the ground of desertion. There were 147 more widowers who remarried than widows, and among the divorced per- sons remarrying there were thirty seven more women than men.
 During March there were 1,55S deaths. forty-two less than in Febru- ary, sixty-nine more than in March of | the preceding year and sos more than the average for the month for the five years preceding. The death rate TUT tue stdte Wdo lc.V duu thc deaths from infectious diseases were 293. Nineteen towns reported no no deaths during the month and four Beacon Falls. Bethany, Brookfield and Kent. failed to report. The number of births reported for Febru- ary was 1.s4 and the number of marriages was 624.
 Two hundred and ninety cases of
 measels were reported in March. 143 of scarlet fever, one of cerebro-spinal fever. 139 of diphtheria and croup. twenty-eight of typhoid fever and six ty-one of consumption. The work in the laboratory included the examin- ation of 174 specimens of which sey- en were for rabies and six of these
