NATURAL ADVANTAGES.

The hill city has the advantage Of the city on the plain in the matter of health every time, because a slovenly street department cannot prevent the cleaning of the streets by the rains as the water makes it's way down the hills to find a level
 Norwich after the heavy June rains looks as tidy as if she had been through a regularly planned and skill fully conducted housekeeping. The filth in the streets which accumulates and breeds disease cannot stay when the heavens open and the rain pours forth in torrents.
 But the self cleaning streets are something of a trial when they have not been made equal to the wear and tear of a downpour and they are gull lied out and put temporarily out of condition because the force of the wa ter removes the earth as well as the filth.
 The work on our hill streets has been done so well that we have little damage done at present, while we en- joy the advantage of cleanliness which the topography of the city guarantees; and to this, as much as to any one cause we are indebted for our inn ing death rate.
 Norwich is one of tke healthiest cit ies in the state and it's death rate sell dom rises above the normal average per 1000 of the population.

in the week, with matinee performances on Wednesdays and Saturdays But this Prof. Hatchett seems to be pit-s full creature. When Sarah Jane told him she couldn't be any more than sister to him he just picked up his hat, as cool as you please, and said that it was fine evening, and went oway.
 "I'he next day she met him and he merely bowed distantly. Then she real izeds that it was all off, to use one of MT. Biglers expressions We'll, she was perfectly infatuated with that man and when she saw that she had let him get away she locked herself into room and refused to eat anything, and she is going into decline. She's just a sha dow of herself. Her sister Mrs. WillSers, is almost distracted over the affair. What do you think MT. Will kers dfd?"
 q don't know, but if he didn't thrash that professor he's no friend of mine"
 That's what he should have done. but he doesn't seem to have any more pride than his sister-in-law, and he actually went to that music teacher and told him that Sarah Jane was dying of a broken heart. He laid the whole case before him and the professor never batted an eye. He said that if Will ker's story was true he had reason to be tha nlxful that Sarah Jane didn't &C., cept him.
 ''1f she refused me when she was willing to marry me- said he, it would deceive me in such an important mat ter her entire life would be long de- ceit. I asked her to marry me in good faith and was willing to put up a cash forfeit said he, and she passed me a photograph of the north pole. The matter ended there. The incident is closed. I am now paying court to Miss Sapphira Tolliver and 1 reason to be- Sapphira Tolliver and I have reason to deal Now, what do you think of | that ?''
 T think Sarah Jane was perfectly right when she refused him the first time he proposed. If a woman is de- nied that privilege you might as well deny her everything. But that's all l can say for Sarah Jane Stinger.

A Waste of Potatoes.

The story that many thousand car loads of potatoes were left to rot dur ing 1909. because the price at the points of excess of supply, was about 10 cents per bushel taken in conjunc- ton with the fact that in that same year some 5,000,00O bushels of pota- toes were imported. on which heavy duty was imposed. points to something radically wrong in the method of dis tribution of this important food sup ply. at time. too. when the cost of living was receiving serious discus sion The fact that the potato crop of 1909 was abnormally large does not excuse this tremendous waste - a piece of business folly and an eco homie crime.
 The potato crop of 1909 was from 6 ,O00. .000 to 70, DOG. 900 bushels in excess i of the normal-the total production for that year was, according to the

TAKING THE LEAD

The state department of the Grand Army of the Republic of Vermont is taking the lead here in New England In the campaign for the changing of Memorial day to more fitting date than May s0- Concerning their action the St Ar5ans (vt) Messenger says:
 The Vermont c. A R. has taken a wise step In advocating the substitu- tien Of some Sunday in June for the May Soth Memorial day. Whatever sentiment may dictate to be the better way, common sense appreciates the trpozsfbflity of crowding upon a people a holiday devoted to a purpose they Will not ceremo nially observe. The people of America feel the spirit o< Memorial day, and if occasion demands. their sons and daughters viii live and die all over again the noble sacrifices it commands. But it Is too evident that the present gen. eratfon will not make the day sacred 70 the memory of the dead, and ob- serve 1t only as such period of relig- ious remenbrance. The next best thing is to strive to hold the minds and fmagtnations of such as may yet be held to the sentimental philos- orfy of our relation to the nation and to each other by appointing a day that custom has not yet wholly wrenched from its holy significance"
 There is no reason why this cere- nony should not be observed on Sunday. In fact. the memorial days of the civic bodies have been made upon the first day of the week. It would be well if they were all held on the same day.

 uring. near to 370,000.0OO bushels. That
 the entire crop should have been
 (and could have been, if properly
 handled) marketed at some profit to
 the producers and to the great relief of consumers all over the country, is an apparent fact That this was
 not done indicates blundering in the
 specific instance and a considerable
 failure of the country's economic ma chinery to work as it should in prac-
 ticaI matters In this connection the Financier sees a "crying need for men skilled in the solution of economic problems. That paper points out that:
 The Agricultural department at | Washington knew early last fall that there was an excess crop of potatoes {: the railroads knew it, or if they did not, they should have known 1t, and yet during all the winter and this spring no effort seems to have been
 made either by the government or by the railroads, which would have
 profited on account of extra freights, to open new channels for the distribu- tion of this food supply.
 In this case as in most matters of garding economic problems as they are officially treated the rights or desires | of the consumer has no influence. It
 would be well for this country if the consumers interest were to become ! the guiding Inspiration in handling
 such problems of production and dis l tribution of commodities which are for I his use. The idea that the consumer exists by the sufferance of the pro- 1 ducer or distributor is fallacious, but
 common. It is uphill work to reverse l the point of view and compel recogni- 1 ton of the fact that production and
 distribution are alike dependent upon l the support of the consumer. When | that point of view becomes establish
 ed, and is acted upon. there will be i fewer instances such as this illuminat-
 ing case of potato waste in the West l Boston Advertiser.

 Well, it's the awfuiest story you ever heard. Mrs. Wilkers told me all about it. and promised faithfully I wouldn't tell, but I feel sure you won't repeat it. That professor is the most cold blooded man in this sountry. He ought to marry a crocodile or an anaconda if he wants a wife. He just treated Sarah Jane Stringer scandalous He proposed to her about a month ago and she refused him. She really didn't mean it in dead earnest you know She expected him to beg her to change heI mind. and give him one ray of hope to feed his hungry heart on. She is fond of English novels, you know, where the heroine turns her lover down half g dozen times before she accepts him."

THE PERSISTENT INTERvIEwERs

Colonel Roosevelt is resolute and he gives notice that the campaign of the newspaper tntervievrers must cease as he has nothing to say, and their pur- suit Is vain.

RULES FOR MOTORISTS.
A Suspicion That They Might Piease
 the AgricuIturists.

Norwalk motorists have discovered some touring rules which they think win the appreciation of the Farmers Anti-Auto Protective Society. They are as follows:
 l. On discovering an approaching team the automobilist must stop off, side and cover his machine with tarpaulin painted to correspond with the scenery.
 2. The speed limit on country roads this year will be kept secret, and the penalty of violation Will be s10 for every mile an offender is caught go- ing in excess of it.
 3. In case an automobile makes a team run away. the penalty will be $50 for the first mile, $100 for the 2nd s20O for the 3rd, etc, that the team runs; in addition to the usual dam ages.
 4. On approaching a corner where he cannot command a view of the road ahead, the automobiHst must stop not less than 100 yards from the turn toot his horn, ring a bell, fire bombs at intervals of five minutes
 5. Automobiles must again be sea- sonably painted-that is. so they will merge with the pastoral ensemble, green in spring, golden in summer, red in autumn and white in winter. 6. Automobiles running on the country roads at night must send up
  minutes for the road to clear, blow ing their horns, and shooting Roman candies.
 '. In case an automobile comes up behind and wants to pass, the far mer will affect deafness, until the automobilist calls him a hard name g. All members of the Society will give up Sunday to chasing automo- biles shouting and shooting at them, making arrests, and otherwise dis coura ging country touring on that day.
 g. In case horse will not pass an automobile notwithstanding the tarpaulin the automobilist will take the machine apart as rapidly as pos sTb1e and conceal the parts in the grass
 To- In case an automobile ap- rroacheS a farmers house when the roads are dusty, he will slow down to one mile an hour. and the chauffeur

LEARN TO INTERPRET I'll
 CLOUDS.
I'll E:
CLOUD DS.

It is better to look up than down better to look up for a purpose than merely for fun-so a little cloud-study might make pleasant fad for a sharp observer.
 pr. A. de Quervain of Zurich has made 8 study of the cloud formations and what they indicate. He says:
 When reaching heights of six or seven miles it becomes trundle cloud The high floating top assumes the shape of fleecy ice needle cloud and extends sideways in anvil shape. The ordinary cumulus cloud undergoes similar transformation at a level of three or four miles, and so does not lead to the formation of thunder clouds. but merely to the production of fIeecy clouds.
 "This sort of cloud can be regarded as a presage of good weather. The veil shaped hooded clouds have not been sufficiently explained. Often they encompass the top of a quickly rising cloud and until recently were thought to be instrumental in the production of hail. They are always found to be intimately connected with existing fleecy clouds, and on the other hand presage bad weather. occurring previ- ous to thunderstorms.
 Even such reliable presages of thunderstorms are the remarkably del . icate varieties of fleecy clouds which are mostly found floating about four miles high. On a darker layer they are superposed, delicate white heads. These lofty curly heads generally in the morning, safely predict a thunderstorm within twenty-four hours. By balloon ascents it was found that the occur renee of these clouds coincides with a violent drop in the temperature
 study is both interesting and entertaining. and there is no doubt that carefully kept data would prove to be great help in forecasting the approach of storms
