The rule was established that all graduates should adhere strictly to the dress requirements. There were some objections on the part of the more aristocratic graduates but the faculty remained firm in their de cision and the result was that commence ment passed off as satisfactorily Gf not as elaborately) as on any previous occa' sion and without leaving a trail of un paid accounts on the books of the butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker, because the man in moderate circumstances had found it necessary tc expend all his money for graduation fnery.

 An exhibition of pictures for the bene- fit of ths schools will be held at the Town Hall June 6 to 8. This exhibition is one of more than ordinary interest and has been given in most of the large cities of the country. It consists of about two hundred carbon photographs, en- cravings and photogravures loaned by the H. K. Tutner O., Boston. Nearly every gallery and country in the world would have to be visited to sec the origi- nal pictures which are here brought to- gether. An excellent catalogue, sold for ten cents. gives careful descriptions of all pictures. It is part of the school work to inculcate culture and refine- mentin the children through whatever means it has at its disposal. The whole. some and refining influence of pictures of the right kind on the school walls is now recognized as one of the most valu- able means of securing this end. The funds for purchasing such pictures is secured by means of this exhibition. The larger the attendance the greater the number of pictures that can be secured for the school

Down in New Jersey the other day, a board of education approved a measure which should be brought before and ap- proved by every board of education in the land It discourages elaborate dres- ses, expensive presents and flowers at the closing of the schools. This is a measure containing much good, sound common sense If there is anything connected with the modern school, par ticularly the high school, which needs reforming, it is in respect to this very thing.
 In many instances the parents of a graduate are not so situated financially that they can afford to provide the elab- crate outfit which the occasion calls for. We can recall (and in all probability so can the reader) instances where father and mother, in their desire to have their daughter as we'll dressed as the daughter of the well-to-do neighbor when she ap- peared on the platform on commence ment day, contracted bills which, in ad- dition to the other necessary expenses, required weeks and months to pay.
 This is all wrong. School authorities should be required to acquaint them selves with the conditions and to so ar range matters that no hardships will be imposed.
 We don't attempt to make any sug- oestions as to what sort of dress the young lady graduate shall wear because we don't know any more about it than the man in the moon, but the scheme adopted by a Massachusetts high school board appeals to us as being about the proper thing.

MEM ORIAl DAY

Once more Memorial Day approaches, the day which revives the bitter scenes of the conflict of long ago in the minds of theold veterans who faced the cannon and braved the onslaught of shot and shrapnel that the Union might endure.
 There is a strong sentiment on the part of these old veterans, and other citizens. in whose breasts the fires o1 patriotism burn, against turning this national day of mourning for the heroic dead into one of revelry and sport. This misappropriation of the day and the thoughtless misconception of it's purpose instills a feeling of bitterness and of in creased sadness in the heart of the old soldier. It causes him to feel that the hardships he endured. the sacrifices he made and the patriotism he displayed back '61 are not appreciated by the pres ent generation and almost causes him to feel that he made 8 mistake when he decided to respond to the call to arms that there might be no segregation of the states.
 It should be possible for Americans to keep one day holy to the thought of the soldier dead, the original purpose of Memorial Day.
 There will be comparatively few more years in which the G. A. R. veterans will follow the old flag to the cemetery and lay their tribute of flowers on the graves of departed comrades.
 The graves grow more numerous every year and the ranks of the veterans are thinning. Therefore it would seem that Americans could afford to sacrifice their sports for this one day. considering the number of gala days in year and the wide extent of the sporting season, to a sentiment that does credit to all Amer ioans.
 The desecration of Memorial Day Is what the modern tendencies in it's cele- bration are called by the old soldiers to whom the battle scenes are still vivid and the sacrifices of nation still charged with a personal sense of losses suffered and sorrows experienced. In few de- cades there will be scarcely one to whom Memorial Day can bring personal pang or revive personal memory of the mem orable conflict.
 But while the old soldiers go solemnly in thinning ranks to lay their tribute of love on the graves on their dead, who are also our dead and the honored dead of this great nation, it is unseemly that the gaities of holiday makers, the bands of music or the revelries of sports should break in upon the dignity of the national occasion of mourning. This is the pro- test of the G. A. R. veterans throughout the country, and all patriotic citizens must recognize the force of the senti- ment which prompts it.

Old War Documents.

l Old War Documents.
 Horace B. Stevens has ill his possess. ion some old war documents which he pr1zes highly. One is rebel general order captured from the assistant adjutant general of Daniels bridgade, November | 9, 1863. It was issued by Brigader General Daniels at headquarters near Drewey's Bluff, November 29, 1862. It is General Order No. 15 and reads: "All persons whatsoever are hereby prohibited from walking or riding on any portion of the entrenchments around the camp and is made the special duty of both field and regimental officers of the day to report to these headquarters, the names of people offending" An ex- planatory letter accompanying the order states that it referred to camp inside the Notifications called Fort Darling on the James River near Richmond, Va. Railroad RumbIes
 The Whitwash Brigade of the N. Y. N. H. & H. R. R. was in town last week and used their brushes, with good effect. on cattle guards, fences etc.
 A telegraph line which the road main tains is railroad line, but which it is generally understood will be used as a private line between New Haven and Charley Mellen's summer shack up in Berkshire, is being strung.
 The railroad tax in the town of North Canaan is a mere bagatelle as compared to some others. One road pays $16 and the other $20.
 The N. Y, N. H. 6 H. work train was in town Monday, collecting and dis tributing ties.
 A change of time on the c. N. E. road is expected June 3. Although no def nite statement can now be made, it is expected that there will be train for the east about 7.30 a. m., one at 8.46 and one at 12.42 (milk). The shuttle {" train will make practically the same trips as last year, arriving from Winsted at SIS, returning to Norfolk Summit at 12. 80, again reaching Canaan at 1.55 and returning at 3.30, thence back to Canaan to connect with the 4.55 express on the New Haven road, leaving for Winsted at 6.45. A train from Millerton will reach here at 6.45 p m. and will remain here over night. Other trains may reach here from the west, but there is no defi- nite information on this point as yet. Sunday trains will probably leave for the east at 12.40 and 800 o'clock, for the west at 2.O2 and $50, the latter train to connect with the New York express on the Harlem road at Millerton. A change is soon go into effect on the New Haven road, also. The schedule will be practi- cally the same as that of last year, The train now arriving here at 2.41 p. m. which last pear arrived at 2.14, will con tinue to run on the present time.

The Whole Teaching o, Life.

The whole teaching of his life. in
deed. is to leave us free and to make
us reasonable, and the supreme lesson
of his life is voluntary brotherhood,
fraternity. If you will do something
for another, If o will help him OF
serve him, you will at once begin to
love him. l know there are some casu-
lists who distinguish here, and say that
you may love such an one, and that, in
fact, you must love every one; but that
you are not expected to like every one.
This. however. seems to be a distinction
without a difference. If you do not
like a person you dc not love him,
and if you do not love him you loathe
him. The curious thing in doing kind
ness is that 1t makes you love people
even in this sublimated sense of liking,
When you love another you have made
him your brother: and by the same
means you can be a brother to all men.
