OLD AGE AND WORK.

No two may possess the same ideas as to the secret of long life. but of necessity good living must be given its share of responsibility therein, yet it is a noticeable fact that those who are offering a prescription, though they do not profess to have partaken of any elixir of life, invariably include work as of much importance, and not & few will tell you work, and plenty of it." glance over those who have attained remarkable age shows 1t to be a fact that their lives have been so characterized. They are individuals who have been known as industrious, hardw orking people. Added interest can therefore be attached to the help -ful suggestion which a half score eminent British youngsters" offer when they agree upon the prescription Keep on working"
 Such men of prominence as Lord Wemyss 94; Lord Strathcona, 92; Sir Charles Tupper, 91; Dr. Russell Wal lace. 90; Lord Halsbury, S7; Lord Rob erts. 80; Lord Morley, "A; Sir Hiram Maxim, 7S and Sir Thomas Hardy. 73, are the celebrities who have sub scribed to the policy of keeping on their job and they are examples of how we'll it has operated in their cases. For those who are physically able, work hurts no man. It is on the other hand a most important thing for the contentment of mind and the best use of time There are many in every com munity, qualified to testify, who will endorse the importance of work and it's great value as life insurance pol icy

WHERE DEVELOPMENT SHOWS.

How much the character of the ex- port trade of this country is chang ing is indicated bv the business which was done this year in comparison with a decade ago. The growth of the manufacturing interests of this coun- try has been tremendous and 1t is the part which the product plays in foreign trade which shows it. In all exports there has been almost a doubling in the past ten years. the approximate amount for the fiscal year of 1913 be- ing 2.450 million dollars while in 1908 it amounted to but 1892 millions
 Foodstuffs make up a considerable amount. but while the total remains the same as a decade ago. it is made up by increase in value because of higher prices, rather than by an in crease in the amount exported. There has been striking decline in the amount of fresh beef exported, a de- crease from over a quarter of a mil lion pounds in 1903 to seven millions the past year. Beef cattle have drop ped materially and so has canned beef but pork products have been less af- fected.
 It is in the manufactured articles that the most striking increases in ex- ports occur. Iron and steel manu- factures as a whole show an increase from ninety seven millions to over three hundred millions. while the man ufactures have grown from 468 mil lion dollars to approximately 1,200 mil lions. The country has shown much greater development in the manufac- turing line than in the production of foodstuffs and raw material.

MUST STORE RAINFALL.

With another dry season and the scarcity of water becoming matter of concern about the state, Norwich can feel greatly relieved that it has made ample provision against going through any more such experiences as it has had in the matter of water shortage. It is now equipped with suff1- cient storage capacity to pond the spring rainfall and prevent so much of it from going to waste as will be more than sufficient to carry 1t through a drought.
 Middletown is already considering the pumping of city water for street ervoir supply as long as possible and overcome any consumption which could be taken care of otherwise. A city is justified in protecting its sup ply of water in whatever way it can, but it is apparent that with increased consumption and seasons which are unusually dry, the need of providing for greater storage capacity is upper most. Throughout the winter and spring when the rainfall Is the great est, is the time when the water supply must be secured. Unless there Is ample provision made for its reten- tion the municipality is likely to suffer when the dry spell strikes on. 1t took this city too long to realize it's po- sition, but it has put through an inn provement which will be a blessing for many years to come and at no time is this more appreciated than when the scarcity of water is being exper- fenced elsewhere.

IMPORTANCE OF PREVENTION.

The importance attached to fire pre- ventfon and the proper respect for alarms. even though they prove but fire drills, is most striIzingly illustrated by the heavy death toll paid in the Binghan1tOn factory fire Another big loss of life has resulted under circum- stances much the same as those which characterized the Triangle Shirtwaist factory fire in New York city two years ago. Tn each instance there ex- fsted the danger which it required fire 10 demonstrate sufficiently to bring about reform, but Binghamton failed tn profit from the New York exper- fence. Conditions about the factory in each case were such that fire would spread with great rapidity and though there were fire escapes. the ignoring of the alarm and the delay occasioned by considering it just another fire dril1'' all served to add to the death list
 Whatever may be found to have been the cause of the fire, if it can be determined. it will only emphasize the ever present necessity of using and enforcing every precaution to prevent the starting of fires and particularly so in such districts where the fire hazard is the greatest. Until fireproof buildings become general the need of using every possible means of pre- venting fire and thus reducing the op- portunity of its communicating to in fiammahle material which may be used in manufacture, is of the great est importance Human safety must be respected and great responsibil- ity for 1t rests upon both the employ CT and the employed.

There's a bear in the woods" an- neunced Mrs. Peavy with unetion as 1 she settled herself on the porch among the unpacked trunks and un- crated baggage that a summer feser- l ter always takes along.
 'What?" stammered Mrs. Biggett unbelievingly. Tn these woods?" Mrs. Biggett might be pardened for her lncredulity, for she had spent several | summers in the mild little forest bor- mere ferocious than rabbits, chip hunks and squirrels had been visible l in that time. Why, I think that s dreadful" she said when the fact had wholly permeated her brain. T don't | contract to go big game hunting when 1 go away for the summerl How can l manage a bear with a crochet hook or a tennis racket? How
 You can't manage him, because you can't get near enough explained Mrs. Peavy. Still, l suppose that when he gets desperate with hunger he will break into our cottages and attack us. They say he must have wandered down from up north. The rural poStman saw him crossing the road and. poor man! his horse climb ed one tree and he went up another and they never did collect all the mail. His nervous system is completely shattered, they say.
 Several men have gone hunting him, and the Thompson boy really saw him, but just in time he remem- bered that his gun had nothing but bird shot in it-SO he climbed a tree too. According to the stories told me since l came nearly all the trees in the woods have been climbed by about all the r1nale population around here. The exercise must be very healthful My husband is so fat that l know it would be good for him, but he says he doesn't banker after bear hunting as he did when he was a boy. He stole a pig from a farmer the other night"
 Your husband!"
 Certainly not!" snapped Mrs. Peavy. indignantly. T refer to the bear! Oh, it really is a tremendous animal The postman said it was as big as a Newfoundland dog. but the Thompson boy had a longer look at it, and he says it is fully as big as their COW. The game warden of this county has been out after it and he is very reliable man. He was quite close to the bear, because the tree he climbed had only one strong branch, and it was near the ground He says that, measured from tip to tip, the creature must be twelve feet long. It is terribly exciting-nobody dares take any walks at aIl!''

NO CRIMINAL BLAME.

The finding by Coroner Phelan, after an exhaustive examination into the facts and conditions leading up to the Stamford wreck, that there is no crim- inal blame to be attached either to the New Haven road or Engineer Doherty means the end of the idea of any prosecution following the in quiry. It is a much different view of tho affair from what the interstate commerce commission and the public utilities commission took of the sit uation. Coroner Phelan exonerates on the matter of criminal negligence a point which is perhaps somewhat diff ferent from the opinion of the other investigators who were looking for the cause of the wreck, for the purpose of preventing other such occurrences in tAe future It is of much less value as a corrective measure than the other two
 The need of changes in the method of selecting efficient engine drivers the necessity of increasing the equip nent of steel cars as soon as possible and the demand that the most prac- tical safety device for requiring the proper respect to signals, be adopted. have been demonstrated beyond any question. Based upon such obvious necessities the road has begun immediately to make such improvements as will give the greatest degree of safety to its patrons. The best engineers, steel equipment and automatic stops are not exorbitant demands but they do promise to bring about most vital reform and overcome the defects which have been found to exist.

A Hint from Yantic.

 symptom of the consequence of delay in acting upon the tariff bill ap- pears in the passing of small wool en mill at 4antic, Conn, into the hands of a receiver. This is one of those New England factories, which are personally controlled and furnish the economic life of the community in which 1t is located. According to statement of the counsel of the com pany owning it, the property valued at less than $300,000 for the mill struc- ture and machinery, has been oper- ated at profit of 900 to $7500O a year. It is said to be in first class condition and it's mana cement has commanded the respect and confidence e of the community The mill owners own the operatives houses, built the church in Yantic and the fire engine house and furnished it's equipment is one of the statements, and the popu- latton of the place is said to be almost entirely dependent upon it.
 No claim is made that proposed changes in the tariff would ruin the business Or that embarrassment is di- rectly caused by them In fact. what their effect would be, when they were once in effect only experience can 1 tell. The trouble now is caused by uncertainty and delay. The President of the company is represented as de- claring that the delay in definite
  commercial world on which his mill depended for the absorption of it's output" and the counsel is directly quoted as saying that the commercial world on which that mill depends has been at sea-" No orders were being received and business was coming to stop. The very moment any tariff bill is signed" he says, will see re- lief from the present uncertainty, and menace to business which doubt of what the new tariff will be has spread farther and faster every day for many weeks
 There is no doubt that the feeling of uncertainty and the delay in acting upon the tariff cause much withhold ing of orders and disturb calculations in many industrial communities, large and small. It hangs like an incubus over industries and the trade upon which they depend, and is liable to be the cause of loss and suffering. It is not what is going to happen that causes the trouble but what is hap pentng in sheer procrastination. It ought to be understood at Washing ton that there is no political capital to be made by long drawn out de- bate and the tresome repetition of familiar arguments. The party re- sponsible for it will lose ground by trying the public patience What the people want now is not defeat of the tariff bill, but prompt as4ion upon it.

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
Organization.

There can be no democracy without organization
 A democracy whose units do not work together, where there is no CO., ordination, will fall to pieces.
 A monarchy, tyranny, can get along without organizing the people. In fact where the people have no team play, there is where the despot is needed. Having no intelligent unity they must have an artificial unity the unity of a superimposed brute force
 armies. in the days of Rome, were perfect machines composed of only a small number of people, and they ruled only because the rest of the populace was not drilled to keep step. In a true democracy the whole popu- lafion-meu, women and children should be a standing army, not ne- cessarily to march and shoot, but, under equal discipline, to SOW, reap and sell.
 All despotisms have been due to a lack of organization among the com mon people So nowadays, in the loose indiVtdualism of the city, any com pact band of drilled men can control them. Hence we have the political party and the boss system. A dozen ignorant selfish, interruptions men, if well organized, can govern thou sand intelligent and honest people who will not get together
 The reasons why democracy is im- possible without organized unity Is this Democracy means a government In the interest of all the people, even the weakest, and the only power great enough to secure the weakest man his right Is the organized power of the whole state.
 Freedom in a state keeps pace with organization; and In degree as each man does as he pleases tyrants pros per, whether feudal duke or Chicago ward boss.

TALE OF ADVENTURE

:, lock trunks energetically. 'Td go right back to Chicago If I thought we were to be haunted by wild ani- malls all summer! Why doesn't some body shoot the beast or set a trap, or something? My goodness-where do you suppose my children are?" All the mothers on Blue Flag lake are saying that,' commented Mrs. PeaTy, cheerily. Mrs. Peavy had nc children. "The minute they are out of sight the parents think they must be eaten up by the bear. I should think he would be desperately hungry, because there really is nothing in the , weeds foF him to eat but roots. When we had to walk to the chicken farm l made my husband carry his bowie knife that he bought to clean fish. John is a great friend of the game warden, and the game warden is very indignant over the whole affair. He says when a man takes office to see that the fish and squirrels of county are protected it is a mean trick to shove a bear off on him. I believe he is going to ask the county board for a gatling gun for protection. I'm so nervous I cant sleep nights. I keep expecting the bear to climb in at window and once when 1 acci- dentally got the woolen blanket wrap ped tightly around my neck I woke up thinking all was over and the bear had me!''
 T never heard of such a thing! said Mrs Biggett, still indignant. It is no way to run a summer resort! 1 am scared to death, because my children are so naturally reckless 1 really must go and look for Herbert at once-'
 I'll go with you" said Mrs. Peavy with unction. Not that I think any thing has happened, but you can never tell-my goodness!"
 Her voice rose in a crescendo shriek as she grabbed Mrs Biggett's arm. Before them the spectacle was pre- sented fof Herbert Biggett, aged 12; Geneyieve Biggett, aged 9, and two Or three other children clustered in terestedly around a small, shaggy ob- ject which was tapping milk grate- fully out of a pan.
 We found him in the woods!" Her bert explained. He followed when I called and he's awful hungry, and he does tricks! Up, Brunol"
 The bear obediently stopped tapping milk and sat up on his little hind legs. Then he gratefully licked his finders hand with a pink tongue.
 Kin We keep him7'' chorused the children He's so cute!"
 T think I'll be going now,'' said Mrs Peavy weakly to the still para lyzed Mrs. Biggett. I'll never believe a grown man again as long as I live!" Chicago News.
