REAL CHRISTMAS TREES RARE.
Plenty of Pines in Connecticut and Hemlocks and Cedars Are Used.

Christmas trees are coming to be a rare shrub in Connecticut. To be sure, we have plenty of pines, which make a very pretty Christman tree, but on account of the quantity ot pitch in them they catch fire so easily that they are too dangerous for gen. eral use, and then, again, the ex- tremities will not hold the decorative candles. Hemlock is still used to some extent
 One Christmas tree man. who has been in the business for years, says he carries almost entirely spruce and balsam trees. He is getting his supply this year from New Hampshire, though 1t is obtainable from Peru and Hins- dale in the hills ow western Massachu- setts. There are some spruce trees in Holland county, but they have been found to be too brown to make ready sales for Christmas decorations.
 Cedars, with the blue berries, are a handsome tree, but they fall under the objection that the twige are toe small to hold candles Running pine is plentiful in Connecticut for Christ mas decoration, but what is called standing pine is getting scarce, al- though present supply is to be had from Simsbury and Granby. Christ mas trees used to be gathered from near the old reservoir in Glastonbury but the industry has run out.
 Obtaining Christmas trees from New Hampshire, Vermont or Massachusetts is no simple task. They are cut, ot course, on private property, and one has to pay for the privilege. and be- sides this must get permit to cut The agricultural department at Wash ington quarantines all sections where the tree moth appears, and the rail- roads are forbidden to transport Christmas trees from quarantined sec. 1 tions.
 Inspections are made frequently ot shipments of Christmas trees, and ont has to have permit from a Beacor street office in Boston to get the tree. transported through Massachusetts The supply of spruce is abundant il the states north of us. and as a crol grows every eight years from a cut ting, Christmas trees in New Englant will be pretty general for many year | to come

Praoticsd in 18th Century.

The recent reference by Governor Baldwin to the whipping post and sterilization as effective methods for checking crime, and his advocacy of them in certain cases is in accordance with old time practice.

Shields and to which books George Washington as president of the United States, many of the na- tional officers and prominent residents of fifteen states and one territory were subscribers, reference is made to the sterilization and an instance is cited where the legislature granted the re- quest of a prisoner to undergo the operation, as a communication of the death sentence.

AT THE DAVIS THEATRE.
Vaudeville and PhotopIays.

Vaudeville in excellent variety and sterling quality is again shown in the new programme for the latter half of the week at the Davis theatre. Mc- Bride and Cavanaugh do a list of comedy stunts that keep the audience in a ripple of merriment while Veta Fl Toro produces good impression as to her ability with the violin. There is something mysterious in the act where paintings are brought forth on apparently bare canvas without visible means and it is a novel contribution to vaudeville attractions. The photo plays are discriminatory chosen.
