AN APPEAL FOR HARMONY.

When it comes to pure-food laws and drug-regulating acts it is ap- parent enough that it were better that the national law and the state laws were alike rather than otherwise. The proposed state law for Connecticut is not in harmony with the national law and promises to put the makers of proprietary medicines to much incon- yenience and expense. The federal laws regulate interstate commerce in drugs and medicines, requiring that the label of every bottle shall tell on- ly the simple truth and that the pre- sence of alcohol or any narcotic drugs in a medicine shall be disclosed upon the label This act was framed after IT years of discussion and is cer- tainly worthy of fair trial.
 The makers of proprietary medicines claim that they have moved speedily to make all of their arvertising and their labels comply with the require ments of the new federal law and have succeeded in doing so only after an expense of thousands of dollars If conflicting states laws are now passed they will have to begin all over again, making no end of trouble and expense.
 The request that these laws should be made uniform for the labelling and sale of proprietary medicines is cer- tainly reasonable and the only just methods of procedure.
 It is to be hoped that Connecticut legislators will make the law in this state similar to the law passed by con- gress.-From the Norwich Bulletin.

1861, there came an abrupt ending of their happiness.
 While sealing some packets of hair from the curls of her little daughter, Mrs. Longfellow dropped match, which set fire to her light summer dress, and she was soon enveloped in flames. The poet smothered the fire, but too late to save her life.
 She expired the next day and was buried on the eighteenth anniversary of her marriage. Longfellow could not go to the grave because of the burns he had sustained.
 The depth of feeling in Dongfellow's nature was such that some poems were sufficient to move the poet to tears when he heard them well rendered. When Mrs, Kemble, the celebrated ac- tress. read "The Building of the Ship, in old Masonic hall, in the war time, 1t was said there was scarcely dry eye in the audience of three thousand peo- pie.
 Longfellow's vogue in Europe was almost as great as his own country. There is a story that on the ship in the Mediterranean, when a chance allusion was made to Longfellow, an Italian quoted one of the well known verses of the poet from a translation in his own language, was followed by Greek, who quoted a passage in his language, and the Greek by a Spaniard. It soon developed that of the various nationali- ties represented there was not one in the group who was familiar with the poet in his own tongue.
 On the occasion of Longfellow's last visit to England he was honored by a private audience with the Queen. When the Queen stretched out her hand to be kissed, the poet promptly grasped and shook it with the utmost cordiality.
 Queen Victoria passed over the irci- dent without appearing to notice it, but her subsequent conversation revealed a trihe of pique.
 Even my servants read verses" she said, and Longfellow was never quite sure what she meant by 1t.
 However, it was probably literally true. As he was passing through the palace he felt the eyes of attendants conseantly peering at him.
 The poet told Mrs, J. T. Fields on his return that though the Queen received him with all cordiality no foreign trib- ute touched him deeper than the words of an English hod-carrier, who came up to his carriage door at Harrow and asked permission to take the hand of the man who had written "The Voices of the Night"

streaked with light and dark shades of gray, and it feeds upon the pendent cones of the birch tree, though 1t is of- ten seen perched on some tall weed in dustriously extracting the seeds. In a big birch tree at Chestnut Hill reser- voir recently not less than eighty of these little fellows were seen at one time.
 The pine siskin, or finch, is noather bird from the north that has recently been observed near Boston. He is even smaller than the goldfinch, with a body entirely srreaked in gray with a green ish tinge, with dull buff markings on the wings and at the base of the tail. Occasionally male is found with the rosy red coloring which seems to dis tinguish the birds of the north. This vriety is particularly fond of pine cones.
 But the people with the field glasses do not devote all of their time to the strangers. There. are old friends to be kept track of. The little fioc6 of black ducks that used to spend the winter in the Fenway has had to move this year because the ice is solid over the old swimming holes But there is another tioc that this winter has appeared on Chestnut Hiil reservoir, and it is still debatable whether this is made up of the exiles from the F'enway or of new corners to the higher civilization. Then there. is the big black gull that for years has made his home on the spar buoy at the Cambridge end of the Harvard bridge. His greater size, his blacK wings and back and his pure white body have long made him a marked figure among the gray herring gulls. It was feared that when the river basin gave promise of freezing tight and staying frozen he would be- come discouraged and desert, but so far the fear has proved unfounded.

IDELUsIONS OF A WAGNERITE.
 The most extravagantly beautiful music that has ever found it's way an to the written page had a belated and long-desired hearing at the Me tropolitan Opera House on the 18th of February, when Wagner's Tristan and Isolde" was performed for the first time this season. From the spec tacular standpoint the occasion was chiefly notable as serving to restore Mme Johanna Gadski to the stage of
 the Metropolitan after an absence of several years, and in a role which she had never before essayed; but for many there was a finer and more abid- ing significance in the event; its de- monstration of the astonishing vital ity of the inspiration that is enshrin- ed in this wonderful score-surely, one may say without intemperance, the r9ost sustained and overwhelming de- monstration of genius in the records of musical art-music which, far more truly than the great poetry ttlat evoked the phrase, is as "a singing and soaring flame" One knows that music and music makers come and go with the inexorable procession of the years, and that, as they and their works contemporaneously emerge, we call them modern" We observe new forms, new adventures in the techrt- que of expression; we are justiflaply fascinated and engrossed by that which is of rare and novel color, of curious and subtle workmanship. Yet one day we turn again, it may be cas- ually, to the great work that came from the hand of Wagner half a cen for 1t Is then seen that all of what we so confidently and so blithely called new and modern" in the musical art of our time is contained, in es- sence, in the gorgeous and exquisite pages of that masterpiece which in oreasingly seems, in wholly literal sense, immortal. It is not alone the living and potent genius of the work whictl survives and persuades, but It's amazing freshness. it's accent of to- day--in a word it's modernity. There is no music like the music of Tristan" It rebukes comparison, as it brooks no rival for there is distilled with it the essence of all there is distilled within 1t the essence of all that the art had hitherto achieved, as 1t con tains the root and substance of that which has followed after it. Not only does 1t stand alone in continuity of inspiration, but 1t is the very flower of the musical art of the world. V Lawrence Gilman in Harper's Weekly

rn1rcArinN IN JAPAN.

Baron Kiduchi, who from 1903 to 19O5 was Minister of Education in Japan, is on a visit to England, and will remain here for about six months,
 One of his objects on his present visit is to study the English educa- tional system. Already he is impressed by the fact that in Japan the national language is much more thoroughly taught than English is tlere. To a foreigner in England, he says, who has studied English as ordinarily spoken in polite circles, the jargon of the last era and the dialects of var ious parts of England grated on his ears. In Japan, owing to the import ance attached to correct speaking and pronunciation in all the schools of the country, the language is kept com paratively pure.
 In Japan, Baron Kiduclli said, edu- cation Is entirely secular. It i3 from the beginning to the end, from the primary school to the university, en- tirely State affair, and SO far as primary education is concerned is concerned, is practically free, and a movement is on foot to make 1t en-
 rely free.
 There are very few scholarships in Japan Baron Kiduchi says, but if the son of poor man shows exceptional ability a way is almost invariably found to allow him to continue his studies From the London Tribune.

ONE ADVANTAGE OF A LONG


 ''The Land of the Midnight Sun" was subject assigned to Judge Berry at feast shortly before his last sickness
 The Land of the Midnight sun!" he exclaimed. "Ah, gentlemen. I find that a most inspiring subject. In the land of the midnight sun, I've read, the day are six months long. and so are the nights. Just think what a blessing that would be to some of us. Why, if one of my creditors came to me and said: Berry, want you to pay up that $10 you owe me- 1t wouldn't bother me in the least My dear fellow, I would reply come around day after tomorrow and I'll pay you and, then wouldn't hear any more of him for twelve months. ."-From the Boston Herald.

But this does not mean that doctrinaire indi- ividualism will be set up in its stead. Englishmen and Americans will go on much as before in all this business, not accepting a general policy coherent and logical, butsimply, in the old inher- ited way of our politics, proving all things and holding fast to that which is good.-New York Evening Post.

Dear Sir: Would You rather
have your customers speak OF
your shoes as wearing we'll. as not

INC water and taking a shine; or
wag their heads and say nothingl
We'd rather have ours, at long
intervals. say: We want some
more paint, and we want DevOe. !"
We know it isn't in human ma
ture to paint very often; we don't
expect them to come very often;
don't want 'em to. All we want
is to paint what they have to
paint, whenever they paint it, the
longer the time. the surer they
are to come pack. There's bus
mess enough in the world; there
are houses enough to paint; let
'em take their time.
If we were a shoemaker, we'd
make shoes to last half a lifetime,
and shoe the whole town.

To Enjoy a Good Dinner.

There is no need of any sef-
denying diet list, no call for nasty
disagreeable medicine. no list Of
hard exercises; simply a Mi-o-na
stomach tablet before each meal,
and one before going to bed. and
it will so.strengthen the stomach
that a good dinner will give you
pleasure and comfort without the
least fear of distress.
The best proof of the value of
our advice is the fact that Hooper
Drug Co., give a positive guaran-
tee (apDlying to two so cent boxes
of Mi.ona) that your money cures.
A guarantee like this must give
you confidence in Mi -o-na stomach
tablets.
