PUBLIC MEETING
 OF HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.
Addresses by Alfred Flowers and Mrs.
 E. M. Rogers.

An instructive series of meetings held this spring by the New London Coun- ty Horticultural society was contin- ued by one held Monday evening in the Buckingham Memorial parlors, which was open to the public and had an attendance of about twenty. Presi- dent s. AIpheus Gilbert called the meeting to order shortly after 8 o'clock. and Secretary Frank H. Allen which were approved. There being no special business, the programme of the evening was at once taken up, which comprised two talks illustrated by floral specimens.
 Alfred Flowers of New London, 6 member of the society, was first heard in talk upon Herbaceous Perennials that was highly appreciated. He spoke from a practical knowledge in their culture that gave his words added weight as he described them. The most satisfactory results could be achieved with these plants by having some spe- cial spot set apart for them, such as a border eight of ten feet wide and give them a good deep digging to start with and plenty of well routed manure, for they are great feeders. In either the fall or the spring they can be plant
 ed, but preferably in the spring. How they should be arranged in the bed de- pends on height the towering time of the plants and the colors. all these to be adapted, but the object is to plant so as to get a mass of flowers. Con- stant work to keep the bed in condi- tion is required all season long, and selections of early and late Towering varieties can be made to extend the season of Towering, which can be made to cover from the earliest spring va rieties till the hardy crysanthemunS which are here when the frost arrives. Mir. Flowers added a word on stalking, which he said was a necessary evil, but a stake should never be driven through the center of the clugnp, for that was often ruinous. forming a hole in which water collected and killed the plant. Watering would be needed only in extreme drought, but should be deep and followed by a light hoe ing to form a mulch. Tn closing, MT. Flowers took up the varieties in de- tail, describing them at length.
 "The Coming of Spring" was the subject of a talk which followed. by Mrs. E. M Rogers, who gave her hear CTS an intimate acquaintance with the nature calendar of this time of the year as shown by tn arrival of the flowers, among which she said 1t was hard to say which was the first. the skunk cabbage, the hepatica, or the trailing arbutus, but when any of these three were found 1t might be safely said that spring had come She went on to describe the successive r-a- rieties that follow their coming. Her talk. which continued her series upon timely subjects, was of especial inter est, and both speakers were thanked for their parts in the programme.

CURES ECZEMA QUICKLY
New Drug, PosIam, Now obtsinable in
 Small Quantities.


 Since its discovery one year ago the new drug. poslam has successfully cured thousands of chronic cases of eczema and other distressing skin afilictions. Heretofore poslam has been dispensed solely for the benefit or eczema patients in large jars sufficient Tor months treatment. This was found to be an inconvenience to many thousands who use 1t for minor skin troubles, such as pimples. blackheads, herpes, acne, scaly scalp. complexion blemishes, itching feet, piles. etc, whicn require but a small quantity 10 cure. To overcome this, and in response to urgent appeals, the dispensers Of poslam have been obliged to adopt; n addition to the regular two-dollar package. a special ffty-cent size, whlcn III future may be found on sale at Lee & Osgood's, Smiths and other leading drug stores in Norwich. or may be ordered direct from the Emergency Laboratories, No. 32 West 25th Street, New York City. In all eczema cases p3slam stops itching with first appn- cation, and proceeds to heal imme- diately; chronic cases being cured in two weeks. In less serious skin troubles, results are seen after an over night application.
 Poslam Is also on sale in Putnam al Larue's: in Danielson at Woodwords; and in Willimantic at Chesebro's.
 Samples for experimental purposes may still be had, free of charge, by writing to the laboratories for them.

About Governor LiIIey.

The late Governor Lilley of Connec- ticut was one of the few men who dared to beard the bureaucracy lion iD its den at Washington. While mem Der of congress he most effectually stirred up the submarine boat scandal and, while he ran up against forces which were too strong for him, he made such a sh9keup among the dry bones and the grafters that the agi- tation has not ye. entirely ceased Gov eTEor Lilley was an honest man and 6 practical man. and his investigation Of the shameless manner in which the government was being buncoed by the submarine manufacturers entitled him to the thanks of all honest people. For this service alone, if for no other, he will not soon be forgotten in Wash ington naval circles.-Portland Ore gOnian

A True Story.

The following is a true story. It was told the writer by MT. A. H. Hoadley, general manager of the Providence plant of the American & British Man ufacturing Company:
 One day some two years ago three workers in one branch of the metal trades came to MT. Hoadley and asked that they all be paid the union scale. Wishing, without arousing any feeling, to show what a mistaken idea they were harboring, he asked them to wait a moment while he looked into the matter. After examining the payroll tp find out what each of the three were receiving and comparing these figures with the authorized union scale he surprised the men by returning and agreeing to accept their propositions without protest. But first he had some remarks to make to them. Turning to the oldest man in the party and call ing him by name he said: You have been with us for more than ten years and your personal ability has made it profitable for us to pay you forty cents per hour" Addressing the next man. and you have been with us for about six years and are getting thirty five cents per hour; and you, speaking to the last man, have been here but a short time and arc getting twenty eightt cents per hour. I suppose you all understand that according to the union scale I can pay you each, thirty cents an hour, irrespective of your individual ability, your knowledge of our work or the length of your serv- ice? If accept you proposition, and you have my word that I will, 1t will take considerable money from the pockets of two of you. increase a little the pay of the third, and be 6 profit able transaction for my company" Of course the men at once realized their mistake. All being good workmen, matters went on as before, including the wages, and the affair was never mentioned again.-American Indus tries

LAST MEMBER HERE
 OF FIGHTING FOURTEENTH.
Jeremiah Callahan is Enjoying Good
 Health, Although Wounded Fierce.

The recent gift by Congressman Higgins to Sedgwlck post of a bullet picked up by him at Gettysburg and his reference to the important part taken in that battle by the Fourteenth Connecticut Volunteer infantry has brought to light the interesting fact that Jeremiah Callahan, who resides at the corner of Slater avenue and Cedar streets, has the unique distinction of being the only man living in Norwich today who served during the Civil war in the Fourteenth regiment.
 The Fourteenth took ~art in over thirtv engagements and bore well the deserved title of the Fighting Four teenth AIr. Callahan, though twice severely wounded. one of the wounds very nearly proving fatal, is now en- toying fairly good health, coming down town to greet his friends nearly every pleasant day.
 Among other Norwich men who served in the Fourteenth was the late Gen. James B. Colt, who was major of the regiment. General Colt was eight times wounded during the war, one of his wounds being received at Gettys- burg. Some of the sother important battles in which the Fourteenth did conspicuous duty were Antietanl, Fred ericksburg The Wilderness, Morton's Ford. Charlottesville and at the siege of Petersburg

Dolls Dress ReouIated by Law.

The dress of Chinese dolls Is regu- lated by law, according to the station of the class it represents and little girls are permitted to play with their dolls as special reward for good con duct. These dolls are preserved from generation to generation, and are fre- ouently dressed to represent historical characters, thus early initiating the child into Chinese history in a most entertaining way. Most Chinese dolls are boy dolls, probably because women have played a rather unimportant part in the history of that nation Bohemian Magazine.

Wanted Papa to Emulate the Historic
 Act of Moses.

The Sunday school lesson that day had been about Moses leading the children of Israel through the wilder ness to the Promised Land, and little Bobby had been particularly impressed by the incident of the prophet strik- ing the rock with his staff and causing the water to gush forth. After Sun day school he took a walk with his father, and could talk of nothing else.
 Now, Bobby has an overwhelming respect for his fathers prowess, which was not even overshadowed by the re- markable achievement of Noses. He was thoroughly imbued with the idea that there wasn't a thing in the world hiR father couldn't do if that thing were at all possible of accomplish ment So when they came to a pile of large bowlders. with the Sunday school losccG still uppermost in his mind. he rather startled his father by exclaiming:
