BOSTON AND soe VEAL.

There is no reason to doubt that
there is cause for alarm in Boston over
The quality of the veal which is being
supplied to that city not only from
New York but from points in New
England. Very few New England
farmers are trying to raise calves, for
they have a notion that it does not

written for The Bulletin

(Written for The Bu1letin.)
The following letter is one out of a
barrel that had been pushed back into
a dusky corner of the garnet, behind
the huge central chimney, and has
been hidden there and forgotten for
nobody knows how many years:
Il am laughing over your letter re-
ceiyed this morning, Willy, dear, the
letter in which you ask me to write
out for you everything that I can re-
member of our childhood together The
thin sheets of foreign paper drop in
my lap as 1 laugh do not know when
l have had such a good time all 10y
myself, but / do know that nothing is
so good for the innermost soul of me
as laughing. ONLY am crying, too,
brother mine.
ut is years since you and ! laughed
together, many many years since
you were a dear little boy and j was
dear little girl, and neither of US
dreamed that there could ever be any
thing anywhere to choke the spring
of laughter In our hearts Laughing
was natural to us then. and the whole
of our pretty world laughed with US.
You remember how light hearted we
were, running or jumping or singing
couldn't-rowing on the river, riding
old Bobby, skating, dancing. You re-
member how we climbed the taalest
trees, and scaled the ridgepole, and
crept on our hands and knees across
the railway bridge. quaking as We
glanced down at the deep black water
under the ties, yet never really afraid,
and laughing always Those were
days when to do delightful things and
do them all the time seemed to us
precisely what life was for L should
like to live them over again Would
you? All I know you would. / love
to believe that some day, when I am
old enough and have grown gentler
and wiser, I shall be child again in
my Fathers house. a laughing, joyous
child at home.
You say, brother mine, that you,
too, will jot down for me all that you
can recollect. But you spoil it by sug-
costing that the two sets of letters,
bound up together, may be enjoyed 10y
our future great grandchildren. No,
Willy, dear, not for my own possible
grandchildren, nor for yours, nor for
anyone else's, will lay bare my heart
and soul. If / do as you ask, 1t shall
be for you alone. No eyes but yours
must ever scan the pages. or ear but
yours must catch the sobs within the
laughter, no heart but your own
strong. brave. true heart, my Willy,
must ever count the tErobS of mine.
No brother, not for amy sich as
thin will ! write, nor for the outer
world, the reading public--ye who
like me not God love YOU'D as
Browning says of those who neglect
ed hinl-not for any of these, not for
any one but you And fer you, only
because you are bone of my bone,
hesh of my flesh, my alter ego, my
other self. my twin bother, who came
with me out of the everywhere, and
with whom, so far along the road of
life I nave journeyed lovingly, hand
in hand. What a journey it has been!

both these directions it has been
signally successful, and at the present
time our town stands close to the top
if not at the top, of those towns work
ing for bird protection.
An idea of some of the best finds
among the rare birds is the nesting
of a pair of rough wing swallows each
year in the north part of the town.

THE MAN WHO TALKS

You say anything to some people
about invisible forces and they smile,
because they do not know that law is
eternal, while all visible matter is con-
stantly changing form and is perish
able The two greatest forces in ma
ture are cohesion and gravitation, the
forces which hold and bind all things
together and make planets and life
upon them possible. Without cohesion
the world would have no foundation or
atmosphere, and without gravitation
they would not form about a center
These are two of the great forces of
the universe, and they control the mil
lions of suns and planets swinging in
space. Without them there would be
no rising suns or starry heavens. Some
people live and die without ever know
ing this, and their souls never get a
grip upon the wonders of the uni
