BUILDING LINES.

Every city should realize the i'm portance of properly establishing building lines in all the streets and thereafter maintaining them. If they are properly laid out, property owners will conform to them, and it is far easier to do so when buildings are be-, ing constructed than after they have been erected. The laxity of building lines is to be found the cause for much criticism in many cities. Norwich has in the past and is now almost every year experiencing the cost of chang ing street and building lines, and find in many cases that the propositions are far too expensive to attempt.
 It is not the small cities which are alone lax in the establishment and adherence to established building lines. At the present time New York is going through the costly operation of shaving off the fronts of many of costly residences and business houses. The latest to be tackled is the Singer building, from one side of which for a distance of no feet the owners have been ordered to pare off Is inches. The construction of the building with it's heavy foundation was permitted on wrong lines and the change is now de- manded at a cost of many hundred thousand dollars. A strip of land 15 inches wide in New York is worth something. but there should have been established line for the building which all concerned should have known and the violation of it should have been checked at the start.

It was impossible for the large as- semhlags to be otherwise than im- pressed by the republican candidates who appeared before them in the cau- GUS in town hall Friday evening. It was plainly understood that John P. Studley and William A. King are men in whom the citizens of Connecticut and the Second congressional district can safely place their confidence and trust for the high and important of fees of governor and congressman. re- spectively. Both are men such as are needed in the offices for which they stand and are committed to principles which will insure the recognition of the rights of every citizen. the farmer, the working man, or the business man. Earnest, strong, and sincere ad- vocates of the substantial, sound and progressive principles of the republi- can party, they. stand for constructive and sane state and national 1egisla- ton, for the interests of their con- stituents, and are not the representa- lives of any predatory interests. They have been in public life for many years and their conduct in offices of trust and responsibility is record which must have its appeal to the voters.

IDEAS OF APLAnN MAN

There is no doubt there Is such a thing as a run of luck. To say there is no such thing, and thatit only seems so, is to forget the fact that all there is real in the world. to me. Is what seems real to me.
 Every whist player knows that he can get hand after hand of low cards during an evening, as though some imp of darkness were shifting all the high cards to his opponents. To try and break the spell he will get up and walk around his chair, or call for a new deck.
 There are the proverbs, It never
 rains but it pours," and "Misfortunes
 never come singiy," and of these we find equivalents in all languages. The thing indicated must be therefore a universal experience. When we apply our reason to this problem we say at once that 1t means nothing, that 1t is mere coincidence,
 and that the objective phenomenon ss probably subjective, matter of our mood.
 And still, in spite of ali our reason, | we find the belief in 1t persists one of those shamefaced, half beliefs, half superstitions, that turk in the dark corners of the brains of most of us. l am not going to solve the mystery, because I cannot, which is most ex- cellen. reason.

GREAT OUTPUT OF COAL.

With the leasing of coal fields in Wyoming by the government to inde- pendent companies there will be open ed up in few years extensive mining operations for the satisfying of the constantly increasing demand for that fuel. There are vast areas of coal land which have never been touched, despite the fast increase in the production. The government figures it out that in each succeeding decade the output is doubled, and 1t would even exceed that amount if there was considered only the bituminous output, in the last fifty years. Because of the limited area of the anthracite fields, the output of that quality of coal has been less rap, i'd. The maximum production up to the present time has been S0,771,4SS long tons, and it. is estimated it will reach 100.000,000 tons before d decline is noted in the yearly output.
 Coal production statistics show that up to the close of 1865 the total out put had amounted to 2S4. .S9O.O00 short tons. The next decade showed that . the production had doubled, while it more than doubled In the decade end ing with 1885. when the total output had reached S47,760,OOO for the decade For the decade ending in 1s96. the average annual production was 2S3,- 24o,275 short tons. while for the years between that time to 1911 yearly in. crease of 17s,256.oo0 tons. or a gain 6. 63 per cent, is noted. The demand foi fuel is steadily increasing and the record figures are not yet reached Nearly six billion tons of coal have been mined since mining was started in this country.

Let the Tail was the Dog.

MT. Editor: In The Bulletin of the 24th the editorial The Danger This Year attracted my attention, and II vou will allow me I should like to suggest a way to avoid the danger
 There seems to be but one way to avert 1t. If it be true that most or MT. Roosevelt's votes are coming rom the republican party, the only way to make it doubly sure is for the re- mainder of the republicans to turn out en masse and make it sure thing Tor the new party If it be true that the democratic party stands for free trade, which is the cause of panics, as we are sincerely told every day, l cannot see how any protectionist republican can vote the democratic ticket. There is no common sense man, democrat or republican, that wants to see a panic brought about. On the question of
 ufotection the republican and pro- gressive platforms are both for pro- tective tariff, the only visible differ ence being that the progressive party
 thinks the protection, some more of it.
 at least, should be found in the pay envelope of the wage workers. I see no other way of accomplishing the de- feat of free trade and keep protection at the front. The only difference be- tween the republican and progressive blanks on this one issue of protection 1 is that the wage workers shall get g little more of it in the pay envelope Better do this than have another panic and hard times. . | J. c. vALLETTE.

runERcuLosls SUNDAY.

The enlistment of the churches into the observance of Sunday as Tuber- culosis Sunday and the spreading from the pulpit of words of plain truth con corning the great movement in behalf of mankind will necessarily give added strength to the cause which has for it's object the relief and saving of hu- manity from the terrible ravages of the white plague. A strong impetus can be given the work and such wide spread effort will result in greater in- terest in the checking if not in the ex- termination of the scourge There is need for general cooperation in this extensive undertaking, which Is world wide in it's scope. The ministering to the poor and the sick has always been the duty of the church and the benefit of science is yearly aiding the church in lending faith and courage to the afiicted to fight back the disease When it is considered that there are 100000 deaths yearly in the United States from tubeI culosis it is time that the utmost should be done in an organized fight to stop ft We have evidence that science is accomplishing excellent results. What was consid- cred an incurable disease some years ago is now found to be curable with the proper attention and care. It is necessary to sound the warning which will result fin better conditions, better dwellings and conduct, and the pulpit can have far reaching effect in this direction

THE GOLDEN GRAIN

New Englander is equally strong 1n l favor of yellow meal. A Vermont housewife would scorn to use white | meal even to make Johnnycake for her dog. Now a-days we have many kinds of breakfast foods prepared from corn. Today a sample package of new kind of toasties was left on my table. I doubt not it will be good Samples generally are, and corn Ill any form certainly can be relied upon.
 Time was when the livestock on the farm were thankful to get the ory cornstalks, but now they also have the fresh fodder from the silo during the winter. Progress is the watchword of the day, and the grandmothers ot our cows would be surprised could they see the way their descendants are tended and fed.
 Have you ever ridden, wonder, over a level Connecticut river roaa bordered on both sides by helos ol silo corn cultivated to the very edge of the turnpike? Such has been my fortune, and felt as if I were driving through a forest of cornstalks. Then in the autumn now much pleasure is combined with labor when the news comes of the husklng bees where busy hands make quick work of
  ed ear. The greeting, Are you going over to Farmer B's to the husking to- night?" is usually met with hearty response in the affirmative, for urgent | indeed would be the business that could keep one away from such an occasion. The barn floor is cleared | for the affair and garnished attractive l ly, and there the boys and girls and some of their elders too, work ana frolic till huge piles of corn testify to the energy expended, and to the truth of the old saying that Many i hands make light work" At the farm house the matrons are preparing the feast which always forms a part of the evenings entertainment Whatever else may be provided, doughnuts and sweet cider are expected, and plenty 1 of both are usually furnished.
 Now we hear of the events of the l evening, who found the red ears, and who paid~the penalty. Joke and jest pass from lip to lip and merry indeed is the group of helpers. Merrier still are they when word comes that the evening is to conclude with dance on the barn floor, and that the music and the prompter are ready. Even the older folk must go out to join in the oldtime Virginia reel, and the # yOuliSCI OilcS lilQ llldl Ildly d bSudtc member of their community is capable of showing them fancy step or two which is not included in their instruc- tion.
 Greatly Is the evening enjoyed, and
 when the hour comes to separate, all
 feel happy. The stroll home through the moonlit country road is an added
 enjoyment, and life is better worth
 living for that evenings pleasure
 Many partnership for life is the re-
 suit of the frolic, and in later years T the matron recalls such husking- bet
 as the turning point of her career
 Happy, simple lives they may be- bu
 everyone such added to any neighbor
 hood makes the world the better fol
 us all.

(Written Specially for The Bulletin.)
 This is the last green corn you will get this season, 1 guess" said the grocer one morning of late, and new version of an old rhyme rang in my ears after he had gone.
 "Tm the last ear of green corn
 Left standing alone;
 All my early companions
 Are ripened and gone.
 Tn all this great field,
 1 only am seen
 To tell of the time
 When we all were green"
 Then I thought of how much was added to our enjoyment by the corn field in it's different varieties and uses. From early till late it adds much to our daily bill of fare, and now that the canning industry is so thorough ly developed, we are able to obtain it all the year around. Our grandmothers secured their winter supply by cut ting the corn from the cob and dry ing the kernels in the sunshine of the clear October days, but we are saved that trouble.
 Just think for a moment of the many ways in which it serves us. How eagerly we await it's arrival in the early summer! A genuine lover of the grain does not hesitate to announce his preference for eating it from the cob on which it has been boiled. Oth- CTS must needs have it cut from the cob and served with a milk sauce, and still others want theirs toasted over the glowing coals. Those who camp out in the summer, and the boys who love the free life of the woods count on the roasting ears of corn as prominent part of their menu, and with a pinch of salt at hand, they feel that feast is provided.
 What should we Americans do with out succotash, the name of which dish we get from the Indian, though I method of cooking the corn Tooth some indeed it is, as it stanos on the farmers table, especially if the accom- panying dish of cream is within reach to be added at one s pleasure.
 he Indians seem mostly to have used corn parohed and wno does nol like popped corn on a winters even ing? Given bright fire and a skilfu workman, and the results are con- vincing evidence that the aborigines knew a good thing when they saw it | though again 1 am sure we have i'm | proved upon the Indian practice. Wha' | fun 1t is to see the full kernels rol | from the pepper, every one puffe6 | out to enormous size! Again we wan l the pinch of salt ,or to suit other. there must be at hand the syrup tt | form the kernels into balls or cake. to meet their demand for sweets | One needs an open fire around which t, gather in order to enjoy popcorn a | its full, for it is essentially an ac | compartment of the fireplace.
 Then when we stop to count up tn uses of corn in our food, how man. 1 they are! From corn meal how man, dishes are prepared! Did you eve hear two housekeepers dispute owe the merits of white and yellow meal Nothing can convince a southerner o Rhode Islander that yellow meal i l at all fit to use. while the northeEl
