EILnT RURRITT.


This year is the centennial ~ the
birth Of Elihu Blrritt. New Britain's
Learned blacksmith and the herald
OF peace congresses. The anniversary
was duly celebrated at New Britain,
Con. and among the features was an
international pageant with floats and
costumed groups symbolizing the poly
gIot citizenship of the city. Italian WED

saw visions Of international courts and
universal brotherhood Of man. To
him is given credit for the agitation
that resulted In the peace congress at
BRUSSELS. 1Sfs. on which occasion Vic
tor Hugo uttered this memorable pre-
dictlon:
"a day viii come when cannon viii
be exhibited in public museums, just
as an instrument OF torture Is now, and
thing could ever have been A day will
come when those two immense groups,
the United states Of America and the
United States Of Europe. will be seen
extending the hand OF fellowship
across the ocean
Burritt was one OF the truly remark
able American characters. who, while
supporting himself by the labor Of his
hands. mastered many Of the sciences
SO perfectly that he was rated as one
Of the great scholars Of his day, and
at the same time his mind penetrated
the future. He became an idealist in
the best sense Of that word.
Victor Hugos prediction Of n
United states of Europe has not yet
been realized. but the idea has been
entertained by some statesmen. And
others have looked even farther, and
beheld a United States OF the World.

ginning having been made, the rest

next step is the creation of a legisla-

This requires the cooperation Of the

THE HOMEMAkER.

Mans chivairy to the Fried Goddess
of the Fireside.
As we men frequently admit. it is
our chivalrous regard for woman
which leads us to desire that she shall
confine her wholly admirable energies
to the making OF our home and the
keeping OF our houses. She is tender
and frail, and SO we urge that she
shall not for a moment drop her role
as the goddess of the household. There
is nothing that so rouses our almost
sacred admiration as to see our own
particular goddess with a dishrag in
one hand and a frying pan In the 9TH
er. Let us never desert this high ideal
of womanhood and its lofty purpose in
life.
Particularly let US not do so because
If a woman does not keep the house
it will not be kept Would we men
