The wages of women were never. so
high as now, yet it is almost impossible
to procure the services of a good woman
at any price, for the reason that labor
is looked upon as degrading. Young
women turned to all sorts Of office work,
where snares and temptations besets
them because they can dress better and
keep their hands whittier than. they can
when doing kitchen work.
The young men whose pockets are
filled with cigarette wrappers, mustasche
combs, finger nail cleaners, miniature
curling irons, looking glass, ETC., and
their mothers crease their pants every
day, are not Ithe ones who will make
promising husbands. The pockets of
those who are helping to make the
country bloom and causing two blades of
grass to grow where God planted but
one, will be found filled with barbed wire
staples, and different sizes of nails and
screws. They are the boys the girls
had better look after.
If you have made up your mind to
live in town, then stand up for it. and
if you know positively of no good, then
silence is golden. Do all you can to
help along every man who is engaged in
legitimate business. Do not send away
for everything nice you want and still
expect the home men to keep a stock
to suit the whim of one or two custom
ers. The success Of your fellow towns
men will be your success. No man
liveth to himself and no man does bust
ness independently of his-fellow bust
ness men. Take your home paper. Do
not imagine the big dailies fill up all
this space. There are many little crew
ices Of good cheer, social sunshine,
personal mentioned in the home paper
that the big dailies do not print. Then
do not abuse your neighbor. The main
difference in the number of his faults
and your own is that you see through
magnifying glass as a critic. The i'll
omened, the croaker, can do a town
more harm in a minute than two good
citizens can repair in a month.

the Socialists cause many advanced Republicans who are opposed at once to the demoralization of the army and the destruction of the existing social system. No nation in Continental Eu- rope ever had more liberty than France during the last decade, unless it be Switzerland. It is remarkable that In both countries the labor movement has taken revolutionary turn, it's promot- CTS advocating more or less openly so- cial revolution. The republic in France Is too strong, and there are too many able men. prominent In both Chambers, to justify pessinistic forecasts, but the turning of the tide, if 1t comes, may be accompanied by some excitement, if only because the extreme Socialists are so confident of victory.

How the Pussy Willow. Came.

There was flood long years ago, Or so the people say, It rained and rained from dark gray
 clouds
 For many weary day. The cats and kittens ran and ran To find a warm, dry spot; The large ones reached mountain
 high,
 The little ones could not. But. by a brooklet, as they passed, They saw a row of trees, And, feeling tired, cold and wet They climbed up Into these. Each kitten found little branch And curled up in heap And, before many hours had passed, They all were fast asleep. The storm 1t ragged and waves dashed
 high,
 And then the kittens all Were covered OCT with soft brown And ioEed just like a ball. At last the storm came to an end, The sun shone from the sky. The mud that covered up each puss, Became quite hard and dry. And then small bits began to fall, Till one could clearly see Soft spots of gray and yellow fur, As plainly as could be. And by and by out popped their heads, The mud fell all away And there sat pussies fin a row
 Of yellow, white and gray And, in the meadow by the brook If you should look to see You'd still find pussies gray and white Up in each willow tree. Sophia Wyekoff Brewer, in Primary
 Education.

4 NEIGHBoR,y rRTDIcAMEYT.

Well, our little neighbor Rhode Island will have to get along with only one United States Senator for awhile, the legislature having adjourned without electlng one. She will doubtless be able to get along comfortably, because Sen ator Aldrich, the able and experienced Senator who still remains to her. can take care of her interests as well as anybody could. He is Senator of great influence and power. There has been long and hot fight in the leg islature over the matter, and the fight isn't by any means over. It will con- tinue until the next session of the leg islature, and perhaps even longer The supporters of the different candidates have shown themselves to be "stayers." '" They did all they could for their can didates and while they didn't die In the last ditch, the adjournment of the legislature found them firmly planted in it. The episode is an interesting one, and 1t doesn't do any harm for a State to get along with only one Senator rath- CT than take one she doesn't want.

The Governors remarks at the meet ing of the Economic Club in this city have made more of a stir than they at first seemed likely to. There has been much loud and sharp talk and there will be more before silence, like a poultice comes, to heal the blows of sound" What seems to be needed just now in the Republican party in Connecticut are the two qualities which Brother Bryan has contributed, or tried to contribute, to the Demo- cratic party here.

------------ THE TALK OF REA CTION IN FRA NCE

THE TALK OF REA CTION IN FRANCE
 France is generally looked on as restless country, but it has managed to exhibit much stability for a long time. Perhaps 1t will continue to be more stable than some expect. The Paris correspondent of the London Times doesn't despair of it. He says: There is much random talk about approach ing reaction, based more on what has happened before at certain periods of French history than on a careful study of the probable future That future would seem to promise a return to more conservative Republican regime than that at present in existence, one which would differ from previous con- servative epochs of the republic, inas- much as it would rally many socialis- tie-Radieals who have lost their illu- sions and are beginning to realize that moderate Socialism is too weak an ele-

SOME Rrn1rF IND MucH HOPE


 It has been long time since any thing could be said about the decreased cost of living, and so much could be said about the increased cost of living that 1t was hard to say it without us- ing language forbidden by one of the Ten Commandments. Now, however, there is 1et-up in the strain. The Dun index number for April Is 107S95 com pared with 190.913 in March This in- dex number embraces everything that man has to have to live, what he eats, drinks, wears, and many things that he never sees or thinks about, but that are basic In some articles of general con sumption. It includes not only the prices of dairy and garden products and immediate household necessities in the food line, therefore refiecting the demands of the milkman, iceman and the butcher, but 1t covers the machin- ations of the great trusts that control in certain commodities. The index num- Der, moreover, Is given as proportioned to consumption. It may not be infalli- ble, but it Is probably the most relia- ble price guide that we have to go by
 Two per cent. off may not be much but 1t is some. Let us therefore re. jolce in some and hope for more and much. Lately prices have been such that 1t wouldn't pay anybody to either live or die.

BUT ONE ELM CIrT.

New Haven win not soon lose her title of the Elm City. She never will if her inhabitants are sufficiently mindful of their duty and privilege But she will do well to notice that tree planters are busy in other places. They are not as busy in Providence as the Providence Journal would like to have them, but the improvement societies of the su- burbs of Providence are busy in setting out elns and naples. The South Wood lawn society has ordered forty trees, which will make a substantial addi- ton to the two or three hundred al- ready planted by the same organiza- ton. The Pawtucket Old Home and Improvement Association has also or dered forty and may Increase the or der within the next few days. At Nor wood the Mems club has arranged to plant eighty or ninety, and on Sunday evening at Auburn the first steps were taken toward the organization of a similar society from which a similar benehcent work is expected. At East Greenwich the Kent Improvement as sociation, which has an excellent rec ord for community helpfulness, intends 'to set out fifty trees.
 Good work Similar work is being done in many other places In this coun- try. But there can be but one Elm City if proper care is taken.
