A HIeH-PRIcEp TARGET.

The battleship Texas has become ob- solete and has been consigned for target practice for the modern battle ships Of the navy, a navy of which 1t vas not SO long ago the pride. In th< SC days, new fighting ships are soon ola and the millions invested in them seon lost. The Texas, like her later sitter, the ill-fated Maine. is one of the vessels which carry their main bat teries in turrets placed diagonally on their hulls. Waste, as the building of battleships seems, still, for strong country situated like America, aostrone navy is the most economical defense For. with fortified Panama canal to allow of free passage between our coasts, and with proper naval bases along our shores, we are safe from in- vasion and are spared the need of a huge army. No nation is going to risk invasion while the chance remains of the invaders being shut in the en- ragged and hostile country, by the in- vaded destroying the invaders navy and getting control of the highways ot the sea.

BOSTON AS A DIVORCE CENTER

The whole country thinks of Reno, New, as an easy divorce center, and still 1t is not so much more of a mar riage dissolving center than Boston.
 We notice by a Boston paper that according to the report of the clerk of the superior court of Suffolk county including Boston, Chelsea, Winthrop and Revere-more than 1,500 applica- tions for divorce were pending in this Jurisdiction on January 1 of the cur rent year. During the year then clos- ing ss1 new cases were entered, of which 749 were heard and 594 divorces were granted.
 The records tell that desertion &C., counts for 241, the majority being women; in cruel and abusive treat ment the men seem to have been largely the offenders; while '.intoxi- cation" numbers more than twice the number of women. Also in mon support"
 This same Boston paYer says: "AI- though the average throughout the state falls far below that of Suffolk county, the figures for this locality look 10 rivalry with Reno, Nev. The population of the New England me- tropolis lends itself to this service" !"

SUNDAY MORNING TALK
THE ENDURANCE TEST.

We have to have just about so mulch disagreeab1e weather along this time of year." said a man cheerfully struggling through the slush the other stormy morning, "and We might as well have it now and get through with it.' Sensible man. whose vision sees beyond the immediate situation, who takes into consideration the necessity of storm as well as sunshine if the rivers are to continue to flow and the earth to bring forth it's increase. And maybe this particular optimist had in mind also the invigorating effects up- on character of all sorts of weather. Perhaps he has read up on New Eng land weather history and has not for- gotten those bleak winters at Plym- outh in the early years of the settle ment of the country and the hardy virtues developed by the effort to wrest from barren soil a decent lfv- ing.
 Be that as 1t may. he who takes the weather as it comes. without re- pindng or complaint, realizing that no bad "spelP' can last forever. is saved deal of needless worry, and others will choose him every time as a com panion in preference, to the man who always finds it either too hot or too cold, too dry or toe wet.

BEING TAKEN 100 eERlousLY.

BEING TAKEN roo SERIOUSLY. The talk about changing the termi- nal of the Cunsrd liners is not taken seriously everywhere. When money talks 1t not infreQuently talks crooked to win This is the way the Enei- neering News talks about the Mon- tauk Point project:
 "Anoth1f long-buried project was also rezuscitated and trotted forth for public inspection last month, the pro- 5ect for creating . great freight and pAssenger terminal for ocean steam ships at Montauk Point. on the east ern end of Long Island
 'The public exhibition of ghosts is chiefly to frighten people. It Is sus- pected that the Montauk Point spec ter was conjured up to frighten New
 Workers into the belief that commerce would forsake this port if permission
 is not given to extend the pierhead line on the North river water front,
 so that the four new record breaking vessels which the White Star, the
 Hamburg American and the Cunard
 companies are building may be docked
 there. s
 We doubt. however, whether the
 ghost win really frighten sensible peo-
 pie It is pretty clear that the appa-
 rition is only an artificial sheet and
 pillow case affair. Suppose all the
 many millions of dollars necessary
 were expended. on the eastern end of
 Long Island in the creation of docks.
 piers, railway terminals, shops and
 warehouses, and a city to house the
 army of workers required to carry on
 all these appurtenances. Suppose all

 through such port than through New
 York? It is evident that the trans

 miles distance and four to five hours
 time the transatlantic passage reduces
 very small amount. On the oppo-
 site side, however, is the added cost
 of 100 miles of rail haul, and what is
 more important still, the added cost
 lin many cases of extra handling or
 transfer of freight, freight cars or
 passengers.
 The only way in which the pro-
 posed port could effect a saving in total transportation cost would be by reducing the terminal expenses over those now prevailing at New York city. It is not easy to see how even this could be done. Railway freight to or from Long Island would still have to pass through the crowded terminals of New York city and would have to be transferred by water from the mainland to Long Island
 Again, at the present day, it is impossible to carry on transportation business economically on small |.s scale. The Montauk terminal would have to be capable of handling a large volume of traffic and the plant there would represent huge outlay. The interest and maintenance charges on this outlay would amount to a large sum per annum, which must, in one way or other, be assessed upon the commerce passing through this port It would probably be found that al best the necessary expenses via the Montauk route would be as great as o1 greater than the commercial routes via the ports of Boston or Philadelphia or Baltimore or Norfolk"

Boston is making a movement for a great campfire to be held by the Massachusetts civil war veterans on Patriots day, April 18th.
 The Boston Post says "the move ment deserves. to be taken up by al the patriotic societies and the citizens of the state. Nothing could be more suggestive and fine than that on this date, sacred to the beginning of the revolution, and within a few days oi fifty years after the fall of Fort Sum ter. this commonwealth's survivors ot the great conflict shall hold one splen- did campfire together before the final mastering out"
 And The Post says further: 'Tf this inspiring plan shall be carried into effect, the old soldiers may rely upon Boston and all it's people for recep- ton and for entertainment that shall make their still stout hearts thrill again."

 1t is not often that the vanity of the sexes can be so truly decided that a wager cah be settled against either party; but in a neighboring town where the vanity of the women in ad- miring themselves in mirror dis played in a show. window was under discussion, chivalrous gent bet a five dollar note that the women were no more vain than the men, and a youngster covered the bet, for youth ventures where age declines to take part. It was decided that a test of twenty of each sex should be made, and they were watched and counted. When the count was concluded it was found that fifteen men had stopped to look themselves over in the glass. while only thirteen women had noticed there was a mirror in the window, in- cluding those who looked to see if their hats were on straight. It is all ways well enough to talk about the vanity of women; but it is absolute folly to arrange tests of this sort, the men expect to support their aver ment. One statistical case of this kind makes the saying, woman Is as vain as a peacock look more like a malicious fabrication than like the truth.

NEED OF A TUBERCULOSIS
 CAMP.


 The fight against the great white plague is general, and the results are so satisfactory that the demand for tuberculosis camps IS ever on the in- crease.
 There are at present. three in this state. and not one within 75 miles of Norwich. The petition sent in from Norwich for the establishment of q camp here will come up for hearing next week Wednesday, and since it has the support of the phy ysicians and leading citizens generally, it is ex- pectsd that there will be good at tendance in the interest of locatinG the camp upon some of the hills in the vicinity of Norwich, of which there are many that are inviting because of the healthfuiness of the situation as well as for the pleasant views they command.
 Eastern Connecticut needs one of these tuberculosis camps, and Nor wich is accessible to three counties and certainly offers most inviting sites for such a camp; and there are pa- tients enough in this part of the state to warrant the outlay.
 There are many reasonable -objec- tions to the removal of tuberculosis patients many miles from home; and the percentage of good results may be greatly increased by so locating these camps that they may be convenient for those who need them most, and these are the very ones who cannot make long journeys even to save their lives
 Norwich, by virtue of it's easterIy and central location, has the largest natural claim for the establishment of such q camp; but that will not do 1t, for it needs not enly the personal endeav- or of our best citizens, but also the cooperation of all the interested peo- pie in this part of the state, by whom it is recognized as an institution need ed as much here as in any place in the state.

themselves rather disagreeable and ir- ritating. have to be. as the world is now constituted, in the interests of something better by and by. Over and over again parents have to fall back upon this belief, when the small boy behaves like a wild Indian, when not even the latest and prettiest picture book will tempt him to sit still for five minutes. You can resort, if you think best-and there may be times when 1t is best-to forcible measures of re- pression, or, without yielding any vital point, you can work on the theory that a small boy is first of all an animal. that he must have times of kicking up his heels and of demonstrating how much lung power he possesses. Would you curb that energy if you could? It is the one great source of industrial and social progress. If the boys and young men had not been animals in the past. who would have fought the wars for freedom, or tunnelled the mountains, or bridged the rivers, or devised and administered the great business enterprises?

And here, too, it is well to remember that this particular period as well as the earlier stage has to be gone through, that 1t lays it's own claim upon young life, that it cannot and ought not to be avoided, that the principle of wise influence and prudent discrimination should govern parental activity rather than that of harsh and drastic pro- hibition
