FOUR MILLION GALLONS A DAY.

IL is quite gratifying to the citizens who twice voted to go to Stony brook for an additional water supply-in 1so2 and 1s11-to hear from those who opposed it that on the 1st day of De- cenber there was 1000, 900 gallons of water a day running through Stony brook. or a volume sufficient to fill the Fairview basin in less than thirty days.
 Those who held the city up for ten years uron declarations that there was an insufficient water supply: that the water was not pure: that the proposed reservoir site was upon a shady foun- siAtion from which a large loss of water by seepags would prove disas- trous to Jhe whole enterprise. must feel that they were misled, since the basin has since it's development been pronounced exceptionally good in ev cry way the water pure and the flow as great if not greater than the two watersheds which contribute to the supply of Fsirview reservoir.
 Of course. all of this great expense in temporarily developing q pumping station at Trading Cove brook is who'll ly chargeable 10 those who fought and delayed this enterprise until a nezr-wzter famine and general pub lie distress required immediate relief regardless of cost
 All of this sustains the good judg- mcnt of the republican water board which procured this watershed, and the action of the court of common council which approved of it.
 And it should not be forgotten that but for the initiative taken by Alder man Ely and his leadership the city of Norwich might have been led to three times the expense when there was no necessity for the great inland lake which 1t was proposed to establish at Tease brook
 IL is cause for reorganization that Tn four brief weeks the gates VII be opened and a full volume of pure water will be allowed to flow through the pipe, free from soda-so- lutions and chemicals which make an end of cut flowers in a few hours
 Norwich needs to be relieved from chemicalized water and the extraordi- nary expense which 8 blind opposi- lion put upon the treasury.

nish--or s.boyish"-she can have her coat, the better she likes it. Straight lines. square shoulders. no waist line and deep side pockets are things most girls like about these Norfolks, and the skirts which accompany the jack cts are usually plain as the proverbial pipestem.
 For women the styles are a little less outing-lilSe in character, and there are sometimes fewer pIaits and little more shapeliness to the coats. There is more of a suggestion of the waist line and the shoulders are not so squarely blocked.
 For country wear in the autumn and winter, for shopping and morning wear these are some of the uses to which women like to put Norfolk suits.

o.-If man was not made in ths image of God, as regards bodily form, how do you explain Exodus xxxiiI, 1923, also the appearance of angels in human form and the statement that Christ asoended into heaven in this form and shall appear in like manner at His second coming ?-Acts i, fl. c. A. W.)
 Answer = Noting the expressions contained in Exodus xxXiii, 1923, the parts of the Lord, we understand face" the hand" and the back these to be terms used, not Tn the actual sense, but merely so stated that our minds might grasp the main thoughts of the narrative des- o-ibing the events that occurred How else could those events have p...,n aescribcay Just as it is possi- ble for any human being to create a blade of grass or a pebble, so It IS impossible for the human mind to conceive of or to create a mental image or conception of some thing that is not based upon things already seen and known. If we at tempt to picture to ourselves the ap- pearance of a spirit being we im- arms and face, etc. Try to picture a being that is without something that we have already seen and the mind becomes blank. The Bible cannot rightly be understood without recognizing these facts. The angels as spirit beings, are naturally invis- ible to mortal sight and It IS only as they assume the human form that they become visible to man. Note the following Scriptpres in confirm alton of this: Paslm XXxiV, z; He brews, i, IA; II Kings VI, l5-ll; Genesis xviii, l, 2, Spirit beings in their actual state are exceedingly glorious=Daniel X, 6, 10, 15, IT; Acts xvi. 1915. The statement in Acts i, II, refers to the manner of our Lords ascention into heaven rather than to His appearance. As He as cended in a quiet, unostentatious manner known only to those who were his immediate followers. so He would come again-"as a thief in the night"

THEPuBLIc HEALTH.

According to a preliminary census bureau bulletin, the health of the country was exceptionally good during 1910 The registration zone includes over half the population-53,s4 ,s43, ,S96 persons and the death rate was only IA to the 1000. against the old es- tabhshed average of + to the 1000.
 It is pleasing to note that Connec- ticut was the healthiest of the six New England states, with 15-6 to the 1000; to Massachusetts 16-1; New Hampshire IFS; Rhode Island 1lI; Vermont Is.
 From the registration area the cen sus bureau received transcripts Nj S05,412 deaths exclusive of stillbirths. corresponding to a death rate of 15 per 1000 population.
 Montana Minnesota, Utah and Washington showed the healthiest condition, being 10 for the latter and 1O9 the highest for either of the oth- CTS.
 The bulletin says further: 'It is stated further that until the registra ton area shall embrace the entire population of the United States the rates from year to year will undoubt- edly be subject to more or less >n- c0mparability due to this extension of effective registra tion-
 The close relation that mas Tor some years existed between the gen. eral death rate of the registration area of the United States and that of England and Wales is referred to. For the year 1908 the figures were slightly higher for the United States, 14.s. gainst 14.7 for England and Wales. while for 1909 the English rate. 14.5, exceeded very slightly that of the reg isrtation area, 14.4; but for 1910 the English rate. 13.5, which is the low est ever registered in that country, is lower than the American rate, 15, and nearly as low as the rate shown for the rural part of the registra- tiOn states I34r

THE CONFESSION OF THE
 MrNAMA ARkS

The confession of guilt by the AIc- NaUara brothers was a surprise to the whole country; and to no one class more than to union labor, which they represent
 ii is wrong to harbor the thought that organized labor had n guilty know ledge of these criminal conspira- cies a=ainst capital and enterprise The Bulletin regards organized labor iu the main as body of honest men. who have been occasionally both nlis- i~d and betrayed by men they triistcd H high and powerful positions. Such am event as this ought 10 lead this great body to a speedy inquiry and a decided change in it's leadership.
 The despatches say that President afompers wept, and well he might when In his sympathy he has prompt ed federated labor to contribute of its hard earnings nearly a quarter of @ million of dollars for the defence of two acknowledged criminals: and it is to be hoped that this money will be refunded.
 The California authorities are to be commended for the vigor they put into this case which is shown in the speedy results; and it is now up to the officers Of the law of California and nfteen other states in which fynamiting has been done to take up th- clues and follow out to the last 1n not only those who have touched the fuse. but those who instigated --.- ey namiting of s6 structures in the -t five years.

LEVEL-HEADED MIR. HILL.

While James J. Hill has of late sur
 prised his admirers by his pessimism they have had no reason to doubt his level Inca dedness. He has keen per ception and good judgment. At the opening of the land show in Chicago he took occasion to say:
 If American resources are to be conserved, the farmer must be edu- cated on his own ground and in d practical way. Practically all of the so-called expert or practical informa- ton on farming disseminated by our colleges today is too technical to be understood by the farmer. It goes over his head. If the farmer is to be made to understand the value of the soil and how to replace its fertility he will have to be met on his land and shown how to do it there. He doesn't pay any attention to present methods for conserving the soil. He is going ahead in the same way that farmers have done through all the centuries. The same thing was done years ago in Morocco and in the days of Rome. At one time in the world s history Sicily produced 12 .00O, ,O00 bush els of wheat and now it produces only 1,0o0,000- The farmer worked the soil as long as he could without thought of fertilization.
 Those who read The Farmer s Talks" in The Bulletin, will recog- nize that this is in keeping with his views. for he has made ft a point to show that laboratory solved problems do not work out the same upon all farms and that the place to solve farm problems is upon the farm where they originate. He has also advocated putting more into the land than is taken out "a ther than taking out more than is put in. The one plan keeps a farm standardized; and the other leads finally to its abandonment.

A pretty case to hold the schoolgirls s hair ribbons is made by covering two strips of cardboard, eighteen inches long and six inches wide. first with a layer Of cotton Wadding, which is Sprinkled with a sweet Sachet, and time with lowered silk or cretonne. Whip the outer covering on with small stitches and lay the two finished strips side by side. Now sew inch wide rib bon along the edges of the two strips, to serve as a sort of hinge, like the backing of a book, and on the other sides pieces of ribbon with which the case can be tied together. Lay the rib bon smoothed out flat in this little case when you take them off at night, and you will notice how much longer they last than if you pull them off and throw them down on the bureau until needed again.

TIE CHRISTMAS RUSH.

There has been little interest shown in Christmas goods up to date, al though we are within three weeks of that great religious festival
 While there is an urgent request being made to those who have ready capital to shop early, 1t is more than likely that 10 Q good many shoppers Christmas would not be Christmas without the regular crush at the counters
 The economical and systematic Christmas glvers have d quiet way of doing their shopping. and a great deal Of it has been done without att sracting the attention of the store keepers but these are the lew The many may not have given Christmas a serious thought, even yet.
 Speaking of the mutual benefits to merchant and customer to be derived from purchasing gifts in advance of the rush, the manager of one of the largest New York stores the other day made the following statement, which IS fully as applicable to condi- tions in eastern Connecticut cities as fo those in the metropolis.
 The tendency to buy early has re- suited in persons buying more useful presents for Christmas. In years gone by they would postpone their shopping until the last week and even the last day and night. and then rush in and buy most auything. Now, more judg- ment Is exercised. The shopping is done carefully and with far more sat isfzction Both the purchaser and the seller have more leisure time and per sons get what they want"
 This merchant speaks by the book and doubtless those who heed the ad- vice to shop early soon come to re- gard it as a good and profitable habit

Whatever the world may think of King Manuel as a frivolous monarch that it were possibly better to keep from his throne. it has only respect and admiration for his mother. Queen Amelie. She is not only morally brave, but she has more than the usual amount of physical courage. and has saved at least three spersons from
 drowning. Her devotion to her boy in his infancy no doubt saved him, and she may some day be rewarded by sec ing him awake to his responsibilities.

Pots of Glass

process has recently been invent ed in France to produce glass flower pots at very low cost. The pots are like ordinary flower pots. both in size and shape They are said to be more substantial and have proved to resist the pressure of ice or frozen earth bet ter. Being handsome in appearance, they are fine for potted sale plants do- ing away with the paper coverings that soon get soiled. When sunk into the earth they remain clean, as neith- CT dirt nor moss adhereS. The inside walls being smooth, plants can easily be slipped out, and they are, there fore, excellent for potting plants with many roots. The thickness of the glass with the consequent lack of porosity is also said to be an advantage, for the air remains sweet longer in a glass pot than in an ordinary pot and these is less danger of drying out While the initial cost of glass pots is some what higher. they are really cheaper in he end, because more duroble.
