THE HOT WAVE.

The present hot wave is a record =
breaker. Ii is not often that the
bridges of Norwich are black with
people seeking cool breezes late in the
night as they We're Sunday.
At a. M. Sunday the thermometer
in Norwich marked SO degrees and at
a. m. on Monday it marked SO de-
grees, and the p hours between were
the hottest weather Norwich has ex-
perienced in many years.
The scorching point appears to have
been at Detroit where the record was
10 degrees in the shade: but los de-
grees in northern Canada, an average
OF 81 degrees over the larger part of
New England. 100 degrees at Chicago,
and at St Louis 81 degrees show that
the heat was excessive in all parts of
the country.
Considering the extent and intensity
Of the heat. the fatalities and prOstra-
tons We're not excessive. Fhe weather
bureau indicates change soon, which
is pleasing news to the people.

the hottest and driest summer in the
series which has preceded it.

a picture of what a happy home

was looking for the wagon from
Pumphead's. bringing her one of those
lawn chairs. She called at Mrs.
Gundelfinger's while I was there and

be a harvest of from 10000 to 10000
baskets of peaches this summer Most
of these peaches are on what is know
as the James farm, which lies between
the Great Hill and Bungay roads, east

a few peach trees on the old farm
The trees on the James farm are

Both the peach and apple trees are
looking fine. and some 1000 barrels
of apples are looked for. 1t was

Connecticut would have a bumper

LIVESTOCK AND GRAIN BUSI
NESS.

A large gain in the livestock and
grain traffic during the month of May
is shown by the figures of the lead
ing commercial movements just pub
Iished by the bureau of statistics of
the department of commerce and la
Dor. Larger receipts of hogs and
sheep on the one hand and corn, wheat
and rye. on the other, are mainly re-
sponsible for the heavier monthly in
bound movement to the chief packing
and grain centers of the country.
Livestock receipts during May at
seven primary western markets aggre-
gated S,550S75 head. compared with
2.667,27S head received in May, 1910
and 2,S96,767 head received in May,

S21672. sheep; and 33,006, horses and
mules With the exception of calves,
the inbound movement of food ami
mails shows considera BILE gains over the
corresponding figures for the two pre-
ceding years. The monthly receipts of
hogs show a gain of u per cent. over
the monthly average for the five pre-
ceding years. exceeding the May re-
ceipts of each year for the period 1906
to 1910. Even a larger gain is shown
by the May receipts of sheep. which
were more than a third larger than the
May average for the preceding five
year period. The marketing of live
stock at seven primary markets re-
quired the use during the month of
62,224 cars. as compared with 4l,4I3
cars during May. 1910. and 51,927 cars
during May, 1909. Livestock receipts
during the five months of the present
year. 16.S75,152 head, were likewise on
a larger scale than for the two pre-
ceding years. though the receipts of
hogs. 902Ss19 head. fell short of the
corresponding figures in 1909 and 1908.
The inbound livestock traffic for the
five months period of the present year
aggregated 2eS,1 6S cars, compared with
247,711 and 277.931 cars reported for
the sponding periods in 1910 and
1909.
The grain receipts at fifteen leading
western markets during the month,
6o.372.612 bushels. We're likewise
heavier than in May, 1910 and 1909,
when 43,4G5.170 and 40,356.191 bushels
We're reported. Larger receipts of corn,
wheat and oats are a characteristic
feature of this months traffic. the gain
in the corn receipts being especially
heavy. The season receipts of grain
since September were composed of
10, So, 293 bushels of wheat; 1875, 091,-
250 bushels of corn! 147 ,S51,946 BUSH

all, S6,S39, lis bushels; a total about
per cent. less than in 1910, the small

Iy outweighing the larger receipts of
corn. May shipments of flour from
thirteen milling centers are given as
3.000, 46S barrels. a quantity slightly
less than in May. 1910 A similar de-
cline in flour shipments is shown for
the fve-month period of the present

A SURPLUS IN THE TREASURY.

For the first time in four years the
fiscal year Of the government closed
on June 30 with a balance.
The new tariff measure has proved
adequate. as the $33, 1000, 900 surplus on
hand shows.
The internal revenues have come
mainly from four sources-the whis-
key tax, the tobacco tax, the beer
tax and the tax upon corporations.
The corporation tax. which is the new
internal revenue feature of the Payne
act has resulted in enriching the
treasury by about $2S 900 600, which
IS about 100000 more than was ex-
pected Of it.
While this is an estimate, it is not
expected the true figures will change
fl to any extent. There is over
$500. 600 900 in cash in the treasury
vaults. but most of this is in form of
coined or bullion gold upon which cir
culatlng gold certificates have been is

Natural Care of Children.

III. NJ. Alden in Harper'S Magazine.
The care OF children is not properly SUBJ
ject to theory, but to a consideration Of
conditions. Childhood is the season of inn
Tressions. of plastic submission to these,
OF MISUNDERSTANDING and waiting, SIS
youth is the season of forward-looking
impulses. Nature has made this distinc-
ton. and If in childhood she makes prep
araticn for the blossoming OF youth, her
processes are hidden. We are advancing
no theory. but only recognizing this dis
t~inction OF terms. when we plead for the
child's free and full Indulgence OF the
backward regard. 1t is ours to help him
70 his natural birtnr;ght. to lead him into
the field Of the past, with some sense Of
what calls him thither-a sense which de-
lermines the contacts we give him-and
there we leave him free to derive his own
Impressions from the scene the persons
all that makes the play. We burden him
with 10 technicalities. which he no more
needs than when he is brought into con-
tact with natural objects; and we refrain
from distracting him by Interior mean
ings or analytical interpretations, which
he may himself seek later.
The past is not cherished simply because
It is past. In the lines of culture the dust
Of antiquity has been most diligently stiff
ed tcr Its hidden wealth: and this wealth
is r.i that Of the market place, but Of che
clearing house Of the imagination.
