Gardens Replace Unsishtly 5ilIboards
In Belqium.

Belgium has decided To adopt the
latest French advertising scheme as
the result of the new law prohibiting
the hldeons boards bearing trade an
nouncements which spoiled the scenery
along the railways.
This new plan consists in having the
same advertisements carried out on
banks and fields i'm flowers and bedding
plants. On the Orleans line one can
already read from passing trains ad-
vice to try some wonderful cigarette
or valuable pill carried out in green
letters grown with pyrethrum plant
with dark red ground.
The aesthetic have nothing TO say
against the new idea; the advertisers
are satisfied and the gardeners are
delighted-New York World.

THEINcoME EXEMPTION.

It is an interesting wrestle which the senate finance committee is hay ing with the income tax proposition and the amount at which the exemp- ton will be left Tn all probability they will reduce the exemption from S4000 to S30O0 with the possibility of an additional exemption of $500 more of income for each child in the family This of course recognizes the position of the head of the family and indi- rectly places an additional tax upon bachelors. The idea is in accordance with the plan of imposing income taxes in other countries though not such large exemptions are made abroad as are contemplated by the senate com mittee.
 The plan is based upon the fact that the expenses of the married men are much larger than those of the single all of whose income over $3,000 would be subject to taxation, while the size of the family of the married man drawing over $3, 3,e00 a year would de- termne what his tax would be. The scheme if carried out would give more equitable basis of taxation. It is very evident that the family with children is more expensive to maintain and that the additional burden of tax ation through the income plan would operate unjustly unless recognition was taken of this fact. Though it may seem means of squeezing the bachelor he has little to fear from what the tax would demand from his resources over the exemption limit.

ANIMALS IN HOT WEATHER.

Hot weather always has it's effect upon humanity We swelter and fume and fuss in an endeavor to get along as comfortably as possible by seeking shade. cool drinks and artificial means of reducing the temperature. but all the time We are thinking of ourselves and paying little or no attention to the dumb animals which are silently suffering but have little or no means of helping themselves The automo- bile is a great relief to the occupants and to the horse which it may replace. but there are plenty of instances for remembering that the horse is sub 5ected to far more thoughtless treat ment than Is consistent with good judgment Men work hard and per- spire at their tasks the same as the horse is made to do but overlooking, lack of protection from the bothersome flies. failure to take advantage of shady stopping places. or neglecting an oc- casiona1 bath after 8 tiresome days work are due for more thought and att teQtion-
 Many are the instances where the horse goes until 1t drops in the in to1era-ble heat simply for lack of prop CT consideration. Enough abuse is heaped upon the horse during normal weather without having it increased during the summer with the addition of heat There are many ways in which attention can be shown the dumb animals without great extra ef- fort and what is true of the horse is also true of cats and dogs. An avail able basin of water is often enough to keep them from going mad. Par ticularly in hot weather do animals demand the best of treatment.

POLICE PAY

By the action of the police com missioners the regular members of the local police force are now receiving more pay than the job has ever de- man6ed before This is the culmina- iron of an effort which has been un- derway for the past few years and re- ceIved the sanction of the city meet ing in making the necessary appro- prianon at the last session. The police have at times undergone the parlng process and been dropped from s2-59 to $2-25, but the increase to $275 from S2-5e is only in accordance with the requirements of the times. The cost of living has advanced and it is ou1 natural that policemen should need and get a proper living wage.
 The Norwich police by the advance which has been granted them are as well paid as any police in the state for cities of this size. In some of the larger cities where grades are main- tained the pay runs somewhat higher but a higher class of service is de- manded- Middletown pays $2.5G af- ter the third year: Stamford $S5 month for the third year men: Willi- mantle s2-75: Meriden $3 for A class, s2-75 for E class and $2.50 for c class men, Danbury $1059 after the third year. and New London $75 a month. Norwich is thus not Overpaying it's men since the highest which is paid in the state is s3.25 which is received in Bridg eport- Hartford and New Haven. Waterbury and New Britain pay 8. The demand of the commissioners that the increase in wages shall be re- fected in the betteTment of the ser vice is only proper.

For tive cities, several fire districts and settlements to en- deavor to exist to the best advantage within the same town Is against good practice.

THE LAWRENCE DRoWNiNes.

Whatever may be the result of the investigation into the catastrophe whereby eleven boys lost their lives at Lawrence. 1t Is evident that safety demands that nothing in the way of f7imsy construction should ever be per mitted at dangerous places for the public to use. Such a bridge as was maintained might have under all nor nal circumstances served the purpose for which it was intended, had the boys given it considerate usage, but boys will be boys, and it is necessary that structures which they are ex- pected to use be built substantial That the bridge was weak likely meant nothing to the boys. With the same spirit that they would run blenders" they give little thought to the risk they take as long as some fun can be had and it remains for every city to eliminate every such dangerous temp tation.
 The walk, or bridge, was probably never expected to support such a weight as was put upon it. to say nothing of the jumping and playing among the crowd. Though there was undoubtedly contributory negligence on the part of the boys, who probably lit tie realized the danger, it is a lesson in construction which Lawrence will long remember, Wherever the public is expected to- or is likely to gather at any particular point there should be properly maintained structure, which will care for all contingencies, It is a point upon which too much emphasis cannot be laid. It is far better to cal culate for resistance to abnormal tests than to fall short. Better had that walk been built to have supported sev eral truck horses than to have ex- perienced the unfortunate loss of life

 That was just fathers little joke, Tom,'' hastily interrupted Toms moth CT. You know, son, that we think two or three months on your Aunt Laura's ranch would be just the thing for you. WWe want you to stay out doors all the time and give your eyes a complete rest. Don't you think you'd enjoy the life out there?"
 why, I suppose I'd enjoy it. all right, but it will cost a lot of money, going out there.''
 Well" I think I can scrape enough together to get you out and back, said his father.

 Tom had been gone just a month, when a letter from his Aunt Laura brought consternation to Toms par ents.
 After little preamble, in which she declared her fondness for Tom and asserted that she greatly enjoyed haY- ing him with her, she begged them to recall him at once.
