HARTMAN AND HEALTH.

Hartman is coming home no better than when he went abroad. He has his millions but he needs an every day laborer's stomach and cannot buy it. There is no way to get it except in the simple way that the laborer got his. Hartman was told abroad that his physical condition was 70. K" and that there was nothing the matter with him. He knew better, and re- mained in the same old state As he has consulted the greatest specialists and failed to get restored to a hearty normal condition there seems to be nothing left for him to do but to test the Christian Scientists. or the Mo- Doogals, or the Toaists, or the raw food body builders, or the mo- breakfast, health fasting cult. If he could swap one of his railroad lines for a good stomach he would be glad to do it, but he cannot. He has got to treat his body right, or everything will go wrong with him.

rHe sIx WEEKS oLp cALF.

Only those people who have been brought up on farm can comprehend how exasperating an animal a six weeks-old calf can be. There is a young man in this city, says The Brockton Enterprise, who explodes with laughter whenever he attempts to tell of an episode which he wit messed not long ago while visiting his fathers home in the country. My governor is deacon, you know" he says when he can control his laugh ter, "and never uses strong language. I have to trim my vocabulary consid- erably when I visit the old folks. But one Sunday last summer I saw some thing happen during which my father used the most profane language inn aginable without using anything but the queens English, either.
 "YoU know we live quite a ways from church, and this Sunday morn ing we had to hurry somewhat to be ready in time. Father brought round the carry-all with old Dolly" and we were preparing to drive away when a prolonged 'bla-a-a-rt' from the calf announced that it wouldn't do to leave the animal unfed until our late re- turn. So the governor climbed out and went after a bucket of milk for the beastie. The calf was only just learning to drink out of a pail, and he punctuated his delight with sundry bunts of joy and affection, each one more vigorous than the last.
 Ever and anon he would lift his dripping nose and let the snowy milk dribble over my fathers best broad cloth and shiny shoes. One particular forcible lurch sent a dash over Dads shirt front, and finally the calf would not drink, but gazed at the deacon with lambent eyes. The church bell was ringing. the moments were pass ing, and the calf must be fed. Final ly, seizing the pail in one hand and the calf's head in the other the dea- con forced the animals nose into the milk. exploding as he did so into: "If it wasn't for the ove-the--Lord -Jesus-C Christ in my heart I'd ram--cram-jam your head into that bucket.

THE BULLETINS ILLUSTRATED
 BOOK.

It is not surprising that a great deal of interest is felt in the pictures which are to be a feature of the 250th an- niversary Jubilee book-what they are to be and what they are to repre- sent. Portraits of the officers and chairmen of committees and the guests of the city will number a score or two and then there will be photographs of the decorated streets. the parade, the performances and objects of spe- cial interest, it is expected. will make about 50 pages. Where there are large assemblages of people the pictures will be made large enough to make the Identification of citizens possible. There are quite a number of these photographs which will be given a full page.
 It is the purpose of The Bulletin to make this book so attractive that it will be in prompt demand when 1t appears in December for delivery.
 The Bulletin has had submitted to it for examination about 200 photo graphs already, and expects to have others submitted.
 The letterpress and the illustrations will represent the best part of the an- niversary celebration, and the book will be prized for it's accuracy and value by Norwich people everywhere.

A Fine Spirit.

pr. Eliot. writing to an Indianapolis attorney who had ventured to criticise his new religion, makes this state ment: 'I venture to add that I am not at the hold of any proud world what ever; second. that such little part of the world as I am best acquainted with loves the 'lowly Nazarene' and does not hate him; third. that have met during my life most of the sorrows which are accounted heaviest; fourth. that Jesus will be in the religion of the future not less but more than in the Chris tianity of the past" The spirit of this reply is more to be commended than it's clearness. So far as a revelation of the temper of Dr. Eliot goes, the state- ment is admirable and beautiful. As an explanation of a religion, new or old-for even religion needs some ex- planation-it leaves considerable to be desired. Religion-a real religion-is not a grouping of more or less ghostly emotions and impressions. It is a life furnished or an idea, and definite idea and definite life, too.-New Bedford Standard.

When the birds first began to build under her window Evelyn went hur- riedly to her delicately carved desk and wrote a letter to her girl chum who was passing the summer in the Colorado Rockies.
 You can't realize how happy I am at auntie's, dearest Flossie,' wrote Evelyn Even the birds have come to welcome me. This morning as l was dressing I heard a tremendous chat tering outside my window, and on looking out saw tiny gray bird whiz by with a bit of straw in it's beak. Of course I knew what it meant at once and l simply forgot everything in my joy at seeing the darlings build their wonderful little nest in my tree. Yes, l call it my tree;i for it leafed out in all it's green glory right at my bed room window-we have a third apart ment-so I am in a bower of beauty.

SHABBY AND UMKEMPT SOL.
 DIERS,

Here is the Boston Transcript de- claring that the game of war played around Boston last week instead of Illustrating the pomp and pride and circumstance of glorious war did quite to the contrary. And then it proceeds to say that "a modern army in it's working clothes is not picturesque, but shabby. dirty, unkempt. The time has gone by when soldiers went into action in the pink of military fashion, when Wayne had all the stormers of Stony Point clean shaven and carefully pow dered. in the interval before the ad- vance. Nowadays soldiers in the field have dirty clothes, dirty boots, and wear hats that are shocking" That takes away somewhat from the scenic attraction of war. Again, the two ar mics have known fatigue, irregular eating muddy marching under drench- ing rains and hiking over heavy ground--a painful experience. but as nothing compared with service in real war. War is physically as well as morally offensive. It is a nasty busi- ness, carried on with no regular hours, no knocking" eff for meals, no regard for weariness and little care for in dividuals, results being the sole aim"
 And the war is over and it will take an expert the public is told to tell whether the Blues successfully de- tended Boston or the Reds captured it. This game of war certainly ended in a predicament. Perhaps the Transcript is right when it concludes. that if any of our young militia have yearned for fighting, the weeks toll has in- clined them to postpone their bellicose propensities until the need of their ser vice has been unquestionably demon- afratad"

but it is as harmless as a kindergarten beside these exhibitions of motor speeding. Each recurring fatal mis- hap on a speedway shocks the public, and then we wait for the next one to comet The deaths are as certain as fate, and the cause of them must be stopped. Is it fair and rational for any business to exact these deaths merely as an advertising detail? The time has come to face the facts. This is a cruel and indefensible thing. and it is more than proper for the law to step in. No cruelty to animals can compare with this.-Springfield Republican.

The speakers Disgrace.

At the afternoon session of the pro- hibtion convention the delegates, among whom the women greatly pre- dominated. were extremely enthusiastic over the cold water issues, and every resolution in furthe1Tnce of the pro- hibition cause was upheld aggressively and unanimously.
 Toward the end of the session the speaker of the day was announced. This gentleman had recently returned from abroad. where he had been re- cuperating from his arduous work in behalf of temperance. Smilingly ac- knowledging his tumultuous reception this speaker at once plunged into the pleasant events of his foreignttrip.
 In the midst of this interesting mar ration a lady delegate from a rural dis trict sprang to her feet, her eyes blazing.

THE BULLETINS DAILY STORY
SHE CHANGED HER MIND

knows what may be in the tops that shade us so beautifully.
 T am wild over the live things of the sea. We went clamIning the other morning and it was such fun to see the angry little stream of water shoot dp when we pounded the wet sand to find the clams' hiding places. They are quiet, too-never make a sound. And there are the jellyfish and the starfish and the crabs and lobsters-- all so vitally interesting and so won- derfully silent.
 "A dragon fly is the only thing have seen, except the gulls, and they stay so far out that don't mind them Does that sound queer from me? Well, l might as well say it first as last-my love for birds is gone-gone forever.
 Do you remember the letter I wrote about the birds building their nest just outside my window? haven't written since. It was they that killed my love for birds, Flossie dear
 Tt seems that they were English sparrows-city sparrows.
 ''The next morning after I wrote to you I was awakened before the sun was up by the most terrific chattering I ever heard-birds fighting. I didn't know they fought I thought they were always good -natured. Well, I got up to see what was the matter. was sleepy. so I shook the curtains. and that made them worse. Then threw a book at them. and py that time auntie was knocking at my door.
 She had been walzened too. She said the nest must be destroyed at once. but l protested. I told her thought it was a sin, but she insisted till I cried. However. that day the jam itor came up and destroyed the nest. Early next morning I was awakened again-they were building in the same place. That day the janitor attached the hose to a faucet in our bathroom and gave them a bath that they seem ed to like very much. The next day he sawed off the limb under strong protest. Then I moved to the back bedroom-the birds had begun building in the caves.
 T lost two brooms and four books and any number of other things that lodged in the tree when I threw them at the birds. Then those awful spar rows began to build outside uncles window That's why we came away so socn. Uncle said: The only way to best sparrows when they get their minds made up is to leave town And We did"

Removing Tarnish.

With the present rage for metallic
fabrics, gold and silver laces, gilt
threads and tassels, tinsels, braids and
gallcons there comes, necessarily, the
tarnish, as a sort of plague to be
wrestled with
Says the dress maker, referring to
the bronze coating that had over
spread some magnificent gold fabric
buttons: "You can take the garment
in its present condition for S120, or we
will renew the buttons and part with
it for s130."
Silver braids all tarnish more rap
idly and with less provocation than
gold. There is one home remedy for
this defect which will be found well
worth a trial. A mixture of three parts
powdered alum and one part powdered
ooracic should be busted on the gilt
fabric and allowed to remain there in
a thin layer for several days. This
Should be whisked off, and may be
repeated II the cure has not been eff
fected.
