What the Other Fellows Say,

Fortunately for our happiness the com ing summer, the San Jose scale, the tus- sock moth, the cut worm, and the can ker worm, furnish irrefutabe reasons why we should not comply with the desires of our better half and plant a garden the coming spring.-Meriden Journal.
 China has ordered I44,ooo American hats. They will not go far in crowning 4oOOOO,OOO people.-Norwich Bulletin.
 Mabelle Gilman-Corey, for whose sake the steel magnate cast off the wife who had assisted him to fight his way up the ladder of success, has now turned novel ist. Her husband can certainly supply her with one good plot.-Waterbury Re publican.
 Another difference between Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt is pointed out by the "New York Evening Post" Lincoln split rails, it says; the Colonel splits hairs.-Hartford Courant.
 If other cities have been successful in driving out all disorderly houses then there Is no reason why Bridgeport could not do the same thing if it goes about it in the right way.-Bridgeport Post.
 Winter keeps coming and going-but mostly coming.-Pittsfeld Eagle.
 Another cherished notion gone to smash. Some one writing in the New York Medical Journal says that bee stings are not a cure for rheumatism. He tried it, it failed, therefore, there isn't such cure as the bee sting cure. That settles it.-Hartford Post.
 
 The tune of the political organ is al ways the same.-Norwalk Hour. v
 We admire very much a great deal of the good work that Dr. Wiley has done and has tried to do in behalf of "pure food" Dr. Wiley, however should re- member the sage advice of Davy Crockett and be sure he is right before he goes ahead. His attack on the Connecticut oyster almost convinces us that this analytical epicure never ate any of them. Poor man!-New Haven Union.

HOW NOT TO DO IT

The News is constrained to reprint from an exchange, the following satire not because it is susceptible of appli- cation here, but in order to remind Ca- naan readers especially of the blessed privilege that is theirs, of having their abiding place in a community where no such negative patriotism as the satirist aims at, has foothold:
 Join no organization looking to the upbuilding of your town. This will prove an encouragement to those who give their time and money to sustain such organizations. Besides, what's the use-the other fellow can do all this and you can reap the benefits without turn ing over your hand.
 Impugn' the motives of those who join and charge them with desire to ad- vertise themselves. This inspires pa triotic men to work all the harder for the public good.
 Pour cold water on every new home enterprise, predict it's early failure, and contribute to that end by patronizing similar foreign concerns. If you say a concern will fail you have to sustain your reputation as a prophet.
 When committee calls on you for a contribution to any good cause, act like a sore head and yield up what you give as begrudgingly as possible. Make some remark that one of the committee will oct a rakeoff of the money. This light ems the work of thesecommittee land
