The railroad has built up large and lucra- tive summer business in the Berkshires, they say, and it would seem like short sighted policy to forfeit it by an unrea- sonable curtailment of service.

of The News:

To the Editor of The News:
 The fact that the Choral. Union sang this year "The Messiah" and ."Ar- minus" brings out some interesting facts concerning the "Prince of Peace" and the warlike savior of the Germans from the Roman Yoke. The victory of Arminius over the Romans which is cele- brated in Brucl1s work occurred the year after Christ was taken as child of twelve to visit the temple in Jerusalem. When Arghinius thus became the iber- .ator of his:people he was only twenty seven, while the Messiah began his public ministry at the age of thirty, both youngamen. Christ was crucified at the age of thirty-three while Ar minus was, assassinated at the age of thirty seven, just ten years before the crucifxion Arminius was killed be- cause he was suspected of wanting to be king, while the Messiah was cruel fled as "the King of the Jews"

We're. Not Vandals.
tor of The News:

To the Editor of The News:
 My attention has been called to a letter in your issue of May 21st, in which Indignant" protests against the action of party of naturalists who are said to have "up-rooted large quantity of the Spreading globe flower" at Falls Village. This letter is SO plainly the result of misconception and may give so wrong an impression, that word of explanation is Scalled for, if only in justice to the residents of Cornwall re- ferred to-.
 The party in question was composed of members of the Connecticut Botanical Society on one of its regular field meet lngs. The Falls Village station for the globe flower was chosen for their visit rather than at Cornwall simply because it is more easily accessible: but before choosing it, the officers of the Society took care to ascertain that there was enough of the plant there so that a party could visit it and collect reasonable quantity without danger of exterminat- ing it. It is true that number of specimens were dug up, but it is not true that any harm was done thereby; much larger number, more than ample for the perpetuation of the plant, were left.
 It should be understood that botanists do not collect plants in order to get to- gether as many kinds as possible. Specimens are taken for purposes of record, comparison and study-objects which cannot be accomplished merely by observation in the field. A working botanist's pressed plants are in as con- stant use as carpenters tools or the printing press of The News. Roots are taken because they are necessary for a complete Knowledge of the plant, and sometimes that they may be set out in the garden, the plant watched from year to year and its life history studied. Except for such work and a great deal of it, the very books from which "In- dignant's' knowledge of the globe flower and its rarity came, could never have been written; and it would be hard indeed to'ciH any instance of a plant which has been exterminated by any botanist worthy of the name. 0.

The Hymns of the Old Church Choir

| he 1ymnS or the Old Church Choir The sunset light was fading, AS by an old church door, I pondered on the dear old hymns, I'd heard in days of yore; Like angel voices whispering In twilight shadows dim, The old church choir sang sweetly, Full many long-loved hymn. "Nearer, my God, to Thee"
 heard the old choir sing; "Hosanna in the highest" .e The sacred echoes ring; ' "Holy! Holy! Holyr"
 Hear the strains rise higher "Rock of ages cleft for me-"
 Were the hymns of the old churcl
 choir. In fancy here with mother, In days of long ago, We listen to the old church hymns, In twilight's after glow; The shadows, softly falling, Brought solemn spell; Again we hear in silence, The hymns she loved so well. "Nearer, my God, to Thee,"
 heard the old choir sing; "Hosanna in the highestp
 The sacred echoes ring; "Holy! Holy! Holyr"
 Hear the strains rise higherl Rock of ages cleft for me;'
 Were theshymns of the old churcl choir.

THE NORFOLK CONCERTS.

The general verdict of the. discrim- mating music lovers who attended the Norfolk concerts this year is, that they excelled all previous series, taken as a whole. From the proficiency of the local choruses, under MT. Paine's train ing, to the quality of the first pro- auctions" of noted composers, the tone was never higher, nor the effects ever more pleasing. Thus the concerts have gone on, from good to better, and from better to still better. And the ad- vancement in the excellence of musical composition may safely be said to owe itself in no small measure to the en- couragement provided in the methods adopted by MT. and Mrs. Stoeckel, in perpetuating these Norfolk Musical Festivals, which furnish an incentive to the composers of the world. The Torrington Register says:
 The Music Shed has become a
 landmark in the musical world.
 Norfolk has become known to mu-
 sicians everywhere. This is be-
 cause the Litchfeld County Choral
 Union is an organization of dis
 tinctive character. There are
 many choral unions but there is
 only one like that of Litchfield
 County. Baireuth is the nearest
 approach to the Norfolk Music Shed,
 but Baireuth is for Wagnerian
 music alone while the Music Shed
 is for all music. Baireuth is
 limited in it's purpose; the Music
 Shed is not. ....
 Incidentally, the direct benefit and enjoyment of the festivals that have made the Music Shed world-renowned, are the priceless privilege of the for tunate dwellers in it's immediate vicin- ity. We get for nothing what music lovers, the world over, would willingly sacrifice much to enjoy.

Courtesy a Business Asset.

One of the minor virtues is to say "Thank you" audibly.
 A man surrenders his seat to a woman in crowded car, and, of course, it is no more than his chivalric duty to dc so. Nevertheless, he feels mildly re. sentful when his sacrifice is accepted in utter silence and the beneficiary f1ounces into the vacant place without so much as a glance at the benefactor.
 Similarly, when one has given bar Der a gratuity Amounting to the cost of the tonsorial operation, it is irritating to have the honorarium pocketed as a matter of right, and not gracious con- cession.
 Walters and porters who are anxious to inspfe the life of the onerous prac- tice of tipping would do we'll to observe that much of the well-defined popular resentment of the custom is due to the unappreciative attitude of the recipient. It is only human nature to expect at least civil acknowledgement when we think we have conferred a favor; and many man who gives tip regrets it when his generosity is accepted with out a word.
 The practical value of courtesy as an actual business asset is coming.to be so generally recognized that the modern employer considers politeness, together with honesty and sobriety, as among the indispensable qualifications for one who seeks to enter his service. The brusque, ill-natured employe drives business from the door, even as the deferential one attracts trade and makes friends for the establishment adelphia Public Ledger.
