 "The climate of Roumania, is not so mild as might be expected from the low latitude of the land, it being the same as that of northern Italy Com ing under the influence of the Medi- terranean on the west and the noun tains to the north and east the king dom is subject to the extremes of a subtropical summer and a winter of the Hungarian plains.

 "The Roumanian is not trades- man, and his main interest lies in farming. Even the selling of the sur- plus grain usually takes place at his farm to the itinerant buyers, for he seems to be wary of the town mer- chant, and rarely trusts himself to the W1les of the city, except on the occa- sion of the annual fair.
 "The higher classes in Roumania- the descendants of the Boyars. the landed aristocracy and the rich citi- zens-use in general the French Ian guage in their daily intercourse, re- serving the Roumanian tongue for those cases where it is prescribed by law-in the parliament and in the law courts. As this restriction does not affect the women those of higher rank take but little interest in the native melodious Roumanian and would not deign to write the least important note in the language. The proximity to Austria, and the influence of the Hohenzollern rulers have brought the German language to the Roumanians as a second competitor.
 "The propaganda in behalf of the use and development of the native Ian guage is making headWay, however, as nN-i6nonnd Inv In int fS.ox, by Roumanian students of play given in French by ladies' charitable organization in Bucharest not long ago. The outburst resulted in rioting which kept the city in a state of siege for four days.
 "One of the great economic weak nesses of Roumania arises from the fact that the rural population which works so arduously during the sum- mer has practically nothing to do in winter. During the idle months they spend for daily necessities all they earned when work was plentiful"

GYPSY MOTH SCOUT

Joseph Sheehan, g. May Have Con- tracted Disease From His Sister in Massachusetts.

Joseph Sheehan, 22, a member of a force of gypsy moth hunters working in the town of Pomfret, was pro- nounced i'll with infantile paralysis on Friday morning, after a. consulta tion between Dr. B. F. Perry and pr. s. B. Overlook Sheehan visited his home in Weston Mass, Labor day. A few days after infantfle paralysis, it being under stood, however, that Sheehan did not come in contact with her upon the occasion of his visit to his home. Last Sunday he played football and on the following day was i'll. His ill., to Thursday night was regarded as a cold. but Friday he had developed in fantile paralysis. The paralysis had developed in such a degree IS to af- feet his legs and arms, but he did not appear to be suffering much.
 Health Officer C.. O. Thompson of the town of Ponfret was notified of the case. also Dr. J. T. Black, New London, the state board of health's expert Dr. Black ordered Sheehan quarantined and gave directions for maintaining the quarantine.
 Sheehan is III at the home of Henry D. Le Fort, at Abingdon Four Corners This home is across the street from the school so the development of the case has caused a furry in the neigh DOrnOOQ.
 Following a meeting of the town school committee Friday, the Abingdon school was closed.
 An effort was made during the day to have Sheehan transferred to the isolation ward of the Backus hospital at Norwich or to a Worcester hospital, but neither hospital was able to pro- vide the accommodation.

Plans are now being laid for the state conference of charities and cor rections, which was held in Norwich a few months ago. This year it is to be held in Meriden, and the following year it has been invited by the New London Chamber of Commerce.

The foundation is a sort of shift reaching to the ankle, the upper part embroidered with colored cotton, usually red or black. Over this is a petticoat, which, in it's ma terial and detail, reflects the taste and buying power of the wearer. On her head the peasant woman wears a scarf of cotton tissue with silk stripes if her means permit, and on gala oc- casions she puts on a brighter ker- chief, ornamented with a fringe or a row of spangles.

 While wheat is the great staple of this agricultural country the soil is equally adapted to corn (maize) and would be called upon for greater crops if the demand should justify it. The ease with which corn can be converted to give but little attention to the form in which it is prepared for consump- ton. Polenta, sort of, mush, can be made of corn meal and water, and if time or energy be lacking, it will be placed on the table insufhciently cook ed. Although many believe that this is the cause of the greater part of the pellagra so common in Roumania, it is difficult to persuade the peasant to ex- ercise greater care in the preparation of polenta or substitute for it some of the many palatable dishes that can be made from corn.
 Cooking, unfortunately, is not cul- tfvated as it should be, and the peo- pie seem to be content with simple fare and a sameness that yields but little to the seasons. Gardening is looked upon as petty farming and not worthy of the attention of a man who calls himself farmer: in fact, so few Roumanians have gardens that they are called bulgarii', since the greater part of the vegetables grown are in the hands of immigrant Bulgarians. The soil and climate of the country are adapted to as wide a range as can be

RENEWAL OF f4-MILL TAX
A Possibility at Coming Town Meet
 ing-Matters Likely to Come Up.

Not a great deal of other than rou- tine business, as far as appears from the warning, will burden the attention of the taxpayers at the annual town meeting you never can tell! It is possible that those qualified to an swer may be requested to state to the meeting something relative to eNpen- ditures in certain departments, but this, too, is uncertain at the present time.
 The tax rate is again becoming a subject of discussion and many are insisting that the 14-mil1 rate must be renewed if Killingly hopes to con- tinue to decrease it's big debt. A start was made this year. Among other items that Killingly may consider it. self obligated to figure upon is the tax recently voted laid by the country members of the state legislature. This tax for Killingly may reach $2,0O0, pos sibly much more.

 Judge Reed heard three uncontested divorce suits and disposed of matters on the calendar at Fridays session of the superior court.

 The incident that led to their break ing point occurred on a night early in March of this year. At that time they were boarding with MT. and Mrs. John Spa1ding. On a cold and stormy night Perrin had insisted on his wife going with him to visit his mother She was i'll and felt unable to go out and she so stated. After some words her husband raised his hand to strike her, but was prevented from So doing by MT. Spalding.
 Mrs. Perrin's testimony as to Per- rims conduct relative to drinking was SubStaDtiated hV Emerson Morse and MT. and Mrs. Spalding.

Two casta Of Mind.

There are two casts of mind and
two classes of writer's which stand out
In more or less marked contrast to
each other at all times. We name
them "ceux qui agitent lie monde, ct
ceux Qui le eivilisent," classical and
romantic, the men of clearness and
calm and the men of magic and enthu-
siasm, the walkers In the broad streets
of life where the fine palaces and fair
prospects are, and the walkers in the
by-streets where squalor and eccen-
tricity hug their independence.
The one sort finds everything inter-
esting. even the ugly, and sometimes
especially the ugly; the other averts
its eyes, as far as 1t may, from disease
and disorder, and ugliness and irra-
tionallty.
That ID what Goethe meant when,
with some injustice to himself as well
as to other people, he declared that
the classical was the healthy and the
romantic tho diseased.
