EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS

The most marked trait that distin- guishes the strong from the weak Is the ability to see what is essentiai and what is non essential.
 The power of the artist is first of all the power of choice his ability to se- lect from the bewildering complexities cf life the one thing that is meaning full
 The modern realistic novelist lacks this power. All facts are of equal i'm lortance. The slop jar in the house is tc him as worthy to be described as q woman's soul Hence the dreary, in tclerable commonplaceness and the feeling of ennui, tediousness and cynic- ism of the average novel.
 The cheap reds and yelIows of Mrs Holmes and the duchess of a former day were better than the sick drab- ness, the hopelessness and sadness of many modern authors. The former had at least some selective power
 Every great passion is selective. Love chooses, emphasizes. Religion has the same blessed quality of dispropor- ton.

GOVERN M ENTS.

Best of all possible governments Is zen feels he is to blame or to be praised for all the government does.
 The worst is that in which the largest number of citizens do not think it is any concern of theirs.
 All governments by 8 chosen few. by the richest, strongest, wisest or best, tend to keep the people in 9 state of childhood. The stronger the state the weaker the people.
 The whole people grows as 3, man grows, by self expression and re- sponsibility.
 It is not so necessary to keep 9 people from making mistakes; it Is necessary to make 3. people feel that it is responsible for it's mistakes.
 Government s smallest duty is ruling 8 people; it's chief duty is educating a people.
 You have heard is said that this or that nation is unfit for self-goVern- ment. AS a, matter of fact there never was a nation fit for self government. A people grows capable of seIf-gov- ernment in only one way, by govern ing itself.
 There is some truth lurking in the Spaniard's remark. "A republic" he said, -'is an impossible form of gov ernment" why them he was asked, "do the French prosper under a re- public ?'' "Because,' he answered "F'renchmen are essentially ungovern- able

CITY BEAUTIFUL.
Cleanup Week Coming Asain-Untidy
 Streets and Street Signs Dis

Another cleanup week for Norwich, a petition to be addressed to the mayor and common council over the untidy condition of the streets, and the endorsement of new street signs like those which had already been approved by the Board of Trade were three matters upon which favorable votes were passed on Friday evening at a meeting of the City Beautiful com mittee held at the home of the presi- dent Oliver l.. Johnson. In regard to the street signs, which were presented by A. l.. Peale. the matter was re ferred to the committee on parks and trees.
 The time from April 18th to 18th " as designated for cleanup week, thus bringing in two Saturdays on which the school children could be inter ested. The petition about the streets was prepared and 2 signatures se- cured on the spot It is the expecta- ton to secure big number of sign ton or not. Particular criticism was directed against the present method of ash l-cart collection, which because no covers are used on the carts filters the street with everything that is blown off the load One observer remarked that all the use he could see the pres ent canvas covers were put to was to furnish 3 soft seat for the driver. A lively interest in city conditions was shown and the members indicated that they were out to do active work in the coming season.

Edwin P. Lyon, Formerly of This City. in Charge at Press Agents Office.

Under New Haven men in the pub lie eye, the New Haven Register Thurs day evening had the following con cerning Edwin P.

Lyon. the man in charge at the press agents office in the general offices of the New Haven road. While Maj. Isaac Bromley Is have for some time been of such a nature as to take him away from the office he has held for years, and MT. Lyon is the ever cheerful. ever oblig ing and ever-alert man on the job"
 In MT. Lyon the road has an em- ploye than whom none is more loyal or faithful. His is the buffer state" between the inquisftive press and the business of the road and all inquiries regarding the road are made through him. Through the years which he has spent dealing with the reporters of various papers he has always main tained the same cheerful and sunny disposition, the same pleasant smile and the same willingness to put him. self to no end of trouble to secure the desired information for the question CT. That in itself would constitute a fairly busy job for a man, but in addition MT. Lyon operates the roads press clipping bureau, where every printed article about the big system, steam roads, trolley or steamships. is clipped, pasted on a card, catalogued and filed. These clippings are sent from the press bureau to the heads of the different. departments so that they are kept posted on public opinion and public criticism of the road and it's policies. S1gaa#ai
 Recently the road has established publicity offices in Boston and New York and the entire department is now operated on a larger scale with the idea of giving the public still great CT knowledge of the policies and activ- ities of. the road This has meant more work for Mir. Lyon, but he has continued to be the same obliging6, good natured gentleman, the associa- ton with whom has proved to be so pleasant to many newspapermen in the past.
 MT. Lyon is an ardent lover of New Haven and resides at 276 Dixweli ave

In the more inaccessible parts of the Slerra Madre mountains in northern Mexico live curious people called the Tarahuamaris- Many of them dwell in caves, but they have also small viii lages, all of them about 5000 feet above sea level. The Tarahuamaris are small in body, but possessed of much endurance. Their only food is maize, and they manufacture a drink called teshuin from the same cereal. Their language is limited to about 300 words, and they cannot count beyond ten.
