Particularly ex- uberant were the happy groups that road in the trucks furnished by MT. Crockett, the Hubbard Co.,, MT. Glen dennin and the Norwich state hospi- tai. A number of the automobile driv- CTS took the children for extra rides after the parade was over. Among these were the Hubbard truck and l.. M.

What a Revival ls,

The word revival is often given a meaning which primarily does not belong to 1t. Many emphasize the conversion of sinners as the essential element in revival work; but that is the secondary meaning of the word Essentially, 'revivap' means the quickening of Gods people. You cannot revive a dead man. The un- regenerate sinner is spiritually dead He must be born again. Now, you may revive a partially drowned body or a partially frozen body. The re- generate souls life often weakens and wanes, until the flame almost f1ickers out. But if there be the least spark of life left. it can be famed into flame; and like the apparently dead cinder in the smithy's forge that spark will touch others and kindle flame that will enthuse g church, a city, or even a nation. A revival of religion, then, must logical ly begin with the church. Such is the divine order.-,The Christian Her. aid.

first is that no other city of its class has so many unusual expenses to meet such large street areas to maintain, such heavy fire and police protection expenses to bear, etc. And, then, in the words of the writer:
 The second reason why the burden of even one-half of the expenses of city government is heavier than the total expenses of most cities is that Washington has but one industry, which is government and that indus try but one product, which is politics. With no important wealth producing
 industries to swell the incomes of the people of the capital, with every ac-
 tivity discouraged that would detract from the beauty of the city, per capita ability to pay taxes is corresponding
 ly smaller in Washington than in
 most cities.'
 The year-to-year population of
 Washington, MT. Taft writes, illus
 trates how truly national the Capital
 City is. More than two-thirds of all
 of Columbia in 1910 were born else where. Every state in the Union Is represented by a considerable quota of it's people who have come to Wash ington to live, and, through every day of the year, the stream of tourists and visitors flows without halt through the city, and in this stream are Ameri- cans from every state, territory and island possession, and foreigners from every country in the world.
 Concluding his description of Wash ington, which everywhere betrays the affectionate pride of the writer, MT. Taft says:
 "The people of the United States love Washington. They are proud of the city When they visit the city they walk upon her streets with a con sciousness that she belongs to them. and that her dignity and beauty and the grandeur of her buildings are an
 expression of her sovereignty and her greatness z

voice and when Deborah. Deborah, Deborah" rings out in clear tones they
 may be seen noiselessly approaching,
 one by one. from among the trees.
 Some of the deer the superintendent
 has named. Among these are Deborah. whose name serves as the dinner call
 for the herd; Kate. another of his favorites, Charlie, Deborah's offspring,
 now about a year old, and Teddy, whose horns have started to sprout
 again. Each year the deer shed their
 horns and they grow out again in the spring. Last year Teddy had ten ant lers and this year he will probably have twelve.
 Bobby Burns, the big ram, has be- come much attached to MT. Duff and follows him about like a dog. Robbie is very tame and apparently likes the many attentions he receives from the park visitors as he follows MT. Duff about.
 Busy Time in Matching Line. On top of a slight rise in the deer park is located the poultry hatchery. Here are two white biddies closely
 One of the goslings matched out Sun day afternoon and others were peep ing in their shells. Both settings
 numbering about 15 eggs in all are
 due out by today at the latest. Supt. Duff has also three Japanese silkies
 on pheasant eggs of the silver and
 golden varieties and three Rhode Is- land Red biddies are setting on ducks eggs of the Muscovy, Perkin and Af-
 rican varieties, while a Japanese silky
 has a setting of turkey eggs under her care.
 Out in the deer park two turkeys have stolen nests. One of the turkeys | has a setting of fourteen eggs, but lthe other setting has not yet been counted.
 Pair of Reeves Pheasants. At the inclosed pond the Chinese, | African and Canadian geese come in
 for a good share of attention from the visitors. Around one side of this pond | Superintendent Duff is having ever
 green trees set out so as to form a protection for the birds against the cold winds. The latest acquisition in
 the bird line is pair of Reeves pheas-
 ants, which have been given quarters in one of the large pens. These birds
 are very beautifully colored and make | a valuable addition to the pens. Other
 birds which may be seen are English
 Ring Neck pheasants. several pair of
 silver and golden pheasants and fan
 tail pigeons.

SUMMER CROWD AT MOHECAN PARK
Remarkable Warm April Weather Sent Many the Ciys Pleasure Ground -Jtney Carried Many Loads of Wis tors-New Monkey Held Reception-Brood of Cos lngs Hatching-Turkeys Steal Their Nests-Bantap1s Matching Pheasant Eggs

With the clearest of summer skies and with the mercury lowering around the 90 mark, Sunday was an ideal out
 ing day and hundreds of people, young and old, visited Mohegan park during the afternoon to escape the heat of the city. A jitney line between Franklin square and the lake at the park, es- tablished Sunday and operated by Bert Smith, did a rushing business. People were waiting at both ends of the line eager to patronize the titney, which made about three round trips an hour, averaging five passengers to the trip, one way. The jitney is yet in it's infancy in this city and now that the possibilities of the park line have been demonstrated it Is probable that in operation. Practically no one knew of the jitney line until Sunday when the big black car appeared on the streets with large signs gro the Park" on both front and rear.
 Three in Monkey Cage.
 There is much to interest the casual visitor to the park for Supt. John Duff's already large family is rapidly increasing and will be larger than ever this year. One of the centers of at traction on Sunday is the inclosure in which two biddies strut proudly about followed by their broods of gos- lings recently matched out. The two broods number eight in all, two of the goslings being of the African variety and the remaining six of the Chinese variety. A Japanese silky has hatch ed out brood of eleven chicks. all of which are doing finely. A never ending source of delight to the young folks and to the older people as well is the monkey cage. Jim, the latest arrival, coming from Branford farms last week, has now settled down and is as much at home as his own com panions. The monkeys are all in one cage, and although Jim had a few spats with Jack Johnson, the big black spider monkey, and Mary, when he first took up his quarters at the park, all, three are now on the best of friendly terms. Superintendent Duff and the monkeys are fast friends and Jack Johnson Is ever ready to stretch out a long arm to shake hands with him, while Mary is quite content to sit on his hand while she is fed peanuts. Sights at Feeding Time. One of the interesting sights may be seen in the late afternoon when feed ing time approaches As soon as the superintendent enters the deer park where are kept a number of turkeys and other birds, in addition to the herd of deer, there is a grand scramble for the feed boxes.
