PLUNGE ENUITY.

If there is youngster in the house who is of a mechanical turn of mind and enjoys making things" let him make things. You may be surprised some day to find that something very practical has originated in the young brain, and that from the mess of junk accumulated about the house useful and ingenious development has mate rialized.
 The Popular Science Monthly de- scribes a rain alarm made by a sixteen years-old "wirelAss wizard" The idea originated with the youngster, and he made the machine so that he could sleep with his windows open without fear of rain storm during the night beating in and drenching the room.
 He raided the kitchen for a tin fun nel, jelly glass and some crystals of coarse salt. Of course, there are wires and batteries, two strips of spring brass and bell that is located at the head of the bed Given these ingre- disents. any enterprising boy should be able to put them together so that the first drops of rain, dissolving the salt crystals which hold the brass strips apart, will release those strips and cause an electric current to ring the bell. After that, it's up to the person who is sleeping in the bed to rise and close the windows.

PLAIN TALK.

In perusing the old copies of The News we find occasionally some very pointed items, which, if printed in a latter-day newspaper, would make trouble. This is the way the Cornwall correspondent talked about their retir- ing minister forty three years ago:
 The Rev. N. A. Pierce preached his farewell sermon last Sunday, to the great delight of nearly the whole society. Men who have always con- tributed largely to the support of both church and society have with. drawn entirely from both, and every thing denotes that there is screw loose somewhere, and the majority of the people believe that the trouble is with the pastor, hence the feeling of delight to have him retire, not from any feeling of ill.will toward the clerical gentleman but that the present panic in the church can be remedied in no other way. The pastorate is now vacant We have tried young man in his goslinghood and an old man in his dotage, and now we want a man with all the modern improvements, including a wife whose wrists are strong enough to knead bread and whose head is strong enough to show proper apprs- citation for favors received.

TRY CORN M EAL.

If the real value of cornmeal as food was more generally known there would be more of it eaten. At this time. when everything we eat costs so much, it behooves us to get the most good for the least money, and cornmeal is about the most nutritious thing we can eat.
 Chemists tell us that one pound of white cornmeal, grirs, or hominy cost ing three cents, is equal in food value to six cents worth ot wheat flour. nine cents worth of rice, sixty cents worth of cheese, ninety cents worth of pota. toes and thirty cents worth of milk.
 Cornmeal has been considered mostly as food for cattle, but the above figures should induce people to try some of the many ways in which it can be made not only very palatable food for humans but one of the cheapest and best. It should become as much of a staple of the table as potatoes or wheat bread.

one was foreign born. All foreigners are vaccinated before entering this country.
 Yet, in the face of this evidence, 80, 1000 of the 100, 900 people in Water bury still neglect to be vaccinated.
 The present outbreak is mostly trace able to Waterbury. and although the coming of warmer weather seems to be checking the spread of the disease, there should be no relaxing of the efforts to stamp 1t out, and vaccination seems to be the only path to immunity.

SMALL PoxAND VACCINATION

There are people who do not believe In vaccination as a preventive of small pox, but the recent outbreak in the state has developed some facts which should be convincing to the most skeptical.
 Of 20, 900 school children not one has contracted smallpox since general vac cination was ordered during the holi. days, although more than fifty had the disease before January first.
 Of the $50 cases of smallpox in Con- necticut during the last few months, but eight were ever vaccinated, and not one of the eight had been vaccinated within fifteen years.

Shortage is expected in plas- ter, timber, lumber, slate, structural iron and steel, heavy hardware, tin, zinc, lead, plumbing supplies, pumps, sanitary appliances, heating apparatus, paint and glass of all kinds, a list which must appeal to the American export trade.

Goritz has been reported as re- duced to waste, and points on tha Isonzo river line were subjected to bombardment for nearly a year. The destruction which MT.

The annals of the congresses and the records made there by the fla thers of the republic and their sue cessors indicate the office of that body in the vital affairs of the nation. The popular election of the members of the upper house makes it more directly representative now than ill former times, and although it is rarely so closely bipartisan as at present the na' tion bows to its decisions with practi- cal unanimity.

HEADING BETWEEN LINES

It does not require great stretch of imagination to foresee something doing in Germany, and that someone will ''start something" before long.
 Herr Kunert. a Socialists, in speech in the Reichstag last Thursday, accused the kaiser of being one of the chief instigators of the war. He also denounced the German Chancellor. von Bethmann- Hollweg, and declared that he, also, had share of responsibility in bringing on the world conflict.
 Hurr Kunert referred to the revolu- tion ;n Russia in a very meaning way. When he was rebuked by Vice Chan cellor Helferich for Insulting the fatherland" by mentioning Germany and Russia in the same breath, Herr, Kunert replied:
 ''I should be proud to see such pro- gross made in the fatherland as has just been made in Russia"
 This remark set the socialist deputies into wild bursts of cheering.
 Does this look as if everything is running smoothly in Germany? Does it sound as if all the people in Ger many were desperately in love with the kaiser. and his way of doing things? Does it indicate their inten. tion to always swallow the kind of medicine that he has been dealing out to them the past two and half years?
 Dr. W. G. Doorin of Holyoke, Mass. swho has served eighteen months as surgeon in the French army, and who has just returned to this country, said that he believed from his conversation with captured Germans that the sol diers of the kaiser are losing heart.
 Do you blame them? It's barely possible that some of the romance of real war has worn off, and that from their view point the idea of putting in many more years in the trenches, and the balance of their lives working like slaves to "pay the fiddler," with no future prospect of anything worth liv- ing for, does not look as rosy to them as the kaiser sees it. Nor does it tend to increase their love for him who put them where they are.
 That the Teutons are doing some pretty fine figuring on the food problem is proven by their cutting down the bread ration and restoring the pota- toe ration to five pounds, which was seven pounds last fall. The meat ration has been increased because of the shortage of fodder for the cattle.
 It is generally conceded that "the way to a mans heart is through his stomach," and when the food for the stomach is taken away the heart goes with it.
 Within the past week the kaiser has been on the verge of a pervous collapse brought on by worrying over the recent developments of the war.
 If "recent developments" are worry. ing him now, what will happen when Uncle Sam lends hand And then China. wko is following close behind
 This worldwide fighting business may be lot of fun for this "It" ot Germany, but we predict that "It',' will not always be ''It," if the people continue to wake up as they seem to be doing now. Russia did surely sci the Tentons thinking, if we can tread between the lines" in the newspapers.

WHY?
