This is the land of hope and happi-
ness. 1t is made by it the interpreta-
ton of the teaching of the Master
whose birth we commemorate at this
sason. Christianity should mean lib
crty, life, love, brotherhood and all
of the sweetest emotions possible to
humanity He who builds a temple of
love in his heart is a true Christian.
Love God. Love thy neighbor as
thyself. These are the messages of
Christmastide. The nearest to which
we approach obedience to these COM
mands measures the volume of our
real happiness and our true useful
ness. All we know of ethical stand
ards comes from the teachings of Je-
sus Christ. All we know of Justice
and Mercy we have learned from Holy
Writ. All OF our civilization is an
evolution fof Christianity. If we adj
here to and practice christianity we
will endure as a united people; If we
neglect these basic verities we shall
perish from the face of the earth.

Are we doing our duty everyone?
Those who have gone before made
way for the conditions under which
we are enjoying life. We can only
pay our debt To them by perpetuating
these Christian conditions to those
who come after us. How can we do
this2 BY associating with and work
ing for some Christian church-no
matter which one. so long as il teaches
the Divinity of Christ and interprets
His message. only through organized
religion has our Christian civilization
developed; only through the same
agency can it endure. our resolve
this happy Christmastide should be to
do our might toward perfecting and
perpetuating our Christian civilization
so that IL may not only continue To
bless our, own dear land, but I'm time
shall encompass the whole earth.

DIR. CIRCUITS STATEMENT.

DR.. Don D. Grout talked briefly to the
reporters, expressing his qualification at
the safe outcome of what might have
been a most disastrous occurrence. He
said, in effect:
The patients in the third ward were
mostly excitabe patients, but they were
led out of their places as quietly as if
going out for their daily walk. There
was no confusion or excitement, and the
nurses and doctors behaved excellently.
We are fortunate in having a very fine
staff here.
In the ward above them were the epi.
leptics, some of them almost helpless,
but they were taken care of and tonight
are fed, bedded and comfortable. We
are somewhat cramped for room, but
two of the trustees are here now, the
third will be here in the morning and we
shall get to work at once on temporary
arrangements. 1t is possible that we
may have to send few patients to
Brattleboro, but not many.
AS long as we had to have a fire, | can.
not conceive of such misfortune being
more intelligently met, for certainly no
city fire company could have done bet
ter work than did the Waterbury village
fire department. We have a complete
water system in the hospital with stand
pipes in every ward, so that our boys
were able to give the local fire fighters
considerable help. There was stand
pipe in the attic where the fire started,
but when the fire was discovered, no one
could enter the place, which was roaring
like furnace.
l am thoroughly pleased with the con-
duct of my own staff and of the village
fire department

Annual EnCampment of a Penn.
sylvania Pomona Grange.

The Grange Owns Twenty eight Acres
of Land In Park, and Hundreds of
Farmers and Their Families Hold
There a Big Fair Every September.
The Center county Pomona grange
of Pennsylvania annually holds n great
encampment and grange fair at Center
Hall. This annual gathering is abso-
lutely grange enterprise and is con-
Quoted under the management of the
county grange. 1t started as u one day
grange picnic in 1874 and was con-
verted into three days encampment
In 1887, and in 1870 the county grange
bought twenty-eight acres of land join
ing the borough of Center Hall and
converted it into a park, known as
Grange park, paying Sis an acre, the
title and ownership being absolutely
in the county grange. it being an in
corporated body. Since the purchase
of the ground there has been added to
the encampment grange fair which
has been enlarged from year to year.
The whole ground is thoroughly equip
ped with suitable exhibition buildings
The county grange also owns a large
number of tents and full camp equi-
page, which are rented to families at
So per tent Several hundred farmers
and their families camp every year,
the attendance aggregating from ten
to fifteen thousand
The thirty-SiXth annual encampment
and grange fair was held Sept. IL to
II. Leading members of the Order
and people prominent in public affairs
addressed the people daily in the large
auditorium.
This year a large and,attractive poul-
try building has been erected superior
to any building of the kind on the
largest fair grounds In the state, and
the poultry exhibit was a special at
traction at this years grange fair. The
general exhibition building erected two
years ago has proved a great attrac-
ton and has been crowded with ex-
hlbits. The museum Of relics Is a very
interesting feature and attracts many
people. Among the most interesting
exhibits in the museum Is a full set
of machinery for the manufacture OF
fax as used by our ancestors. Another
feature is an old fashioned chimney
place filed with the cooking utensils
of our grandmothers.

FIRE AT STATE HOSPITAL FOR INSANE
Three Wards Burned-No Accident
To Inmates.

The state hospital for the insane at
Waterbury was the scene of a big fire on
Friday of last week, resulting in a loss
of about 100000, fully covered by in
surance, but no lives were lost and no
one was injured.
The fire started about | o'clock from
an unknown cause in the attic of ward
three. DR.. d. d. Circuit, superintendent of
the hospital, was visiting patient in
this ward when the cry of "fire" resound-
ed through the corridors and Immediate
ly ordered the transfer of the patients to
other parts of the building. An alarm
was turned in and the village fire de.
partment, augmented by the trained
force of the hospital, fought the flames
desperately.
The buildings are of brick, but the fire
had such a start in the inaccessible attic
that, despite 30 strong streams of water
from the village water system and the
power pump of the hospital, it was i'm
possible to save the three wards affected,
the roofs and combustible material being
almost entirely consumed. The loss is
set at 100000 and is probably covered
by insurance, as policies to the value of
$3.50 ZOO were carried on the property of
the state at the hospital.
The three wards destroyed were oc-
cupied by male patients and the dsci-
pline of the establishment was thorough
ly demonstrated in the successful trans
fer of these idiots, imbecles and danger
Gus lunatics to places of safety elsewhere
in the state plant, not only without
casualty. but with little more disturb
ance than an outing or festival, despite
the excitement and disturbance that pre-
vailed.
The fire, which began at Is, was un-
der control at 8 o'clock. The Montpelier
fire company was summoned by tele
phone, but, before special train could
be arranged for, the local tiremen were
able to report that the danger was over
and to cancel the arrangement.
This is the first fire that has ever hap
pened at the state hospital and will
necessarily result in acknowledgements
and inconvenience before the claims can
be adjusted, bids called for and work
begun and finished on new buildings.

FARMING IN SCHOOLS.
Opinion Of Members Of the Faculty of
an Agricultural College.

The Mansfield Comm grange has in
its membership several of the faculty
of the Connecticut Agricultural col
lege, and their opinion on the subject
of teaching agriculture in our common
schools may be of general interest
The Mansfield grange, after due con
sideration, adopted the following re-
port on the subject;
agriculture, while n technical, vO-
cational subject, is so closely related
to the welfare of every individual that
we recognize the need for n general
dissemination of information as to the
conditions of country life and the re-
lation of agriculture to the commu-
nity-the conditions favorable for the
conservation and development of the
agricultural resources Of the nation
The place for this instruction is in the
higher grades of our public schools,
both city and country, and the instruc-
ton should be given by teachers spe-
cially trained for the work and not by
teachers engaged in the general work
of instruction in the various subjects
or school work.
Before agriculture can be properly
introduced into our country schools
there must be radical change in our
system. The higher grades at least
must be brought together into the con-
solidated graded township school. In
this consolidated school teacher of
science could very properly be employ
ed, part of whose duties should be to
teach agriculture. In our common
country schools as at present organ
lied we do not favor the introduction
of agriculture as part Of the required
work
"ln all grades We favor the use of
text books which shall familiarize the
pupils with agricultural terms
