THE MAN WHO TALKS

These are times when we should guard against extremes of speech or action. All extremes have been pro- nounced error-going too far in water or speech has often proved fatal. We
 place the statesman at the top and
 the plowman at the bottom, but 1t is not an easy problem to tell which is
 of most importance to the state. Re-
 member it is claimed that all the-vir =
 tues are strong upon the silken cord
 of moderation, There is nothing safer or more con1mendable than Keeping
 within bounds. If we were all careful about this the courts and the lawyers
 would have less business. We seldom
 think how closely allied are modera-- tion and temperance; but they keep Us
 well within the borders Of safety. A German proverb says: 'Take-it-Easy and Live-1ong are brothers but since
 the Germans have gone to extremes they have destroyed the relationship and the prospect It Is wisdom to keep calm and tranquil, and not to worry even If your hair is turning gray. Those who have taken time enough to forgive their enemies have never been sorry-it is those who make haste that overtake trouble first
 Everybody seems to be fond of the old-fashioned lilac whose mass of bright flowers are now spreading fragrance in the home-lotS all over New England: and which has been
 
 natural product instead of a native of Europe. The lilac came from the for ests of Bulgaria and was shipped hence by way of Constantinopie- In the days of our grandmothers there were only a few varieties of lilac in the world; but now. there are hun dreds of species, but none really dear CT to the heart than the first conner in whose branches the chippy sparrows and the yellow warblers have always 1 built their nests From the HlacS of | Persia and China all these l varieties have been produced, and they ] form one of the most wonderful hardy i towering shrubs. How the lilac came | to win it's way into public favor more | than the rose is not ap- | parent unless it was their easy .cul- | ture and abundance of fragrant flow l CTS: and it was because of their fra | grance that they were set near the 1 open door or window. The surviving | ilacs are the onty evidence of an old ! farmhouse site in many of the fields i of Eastern Connecticut.

An English medical authority says: ''The healthier the child the naughtier he is!' What is naughtinese, anyway |? And what has it to do with health !? With good health there should be ex- pected the height of activity. child who cannot keep still is called naughty if 1t does not obey the com mand to keep still It seems to me to be naughty to order a child to do what it cannot do. Many persons think a child is making trouble when. they are themselves the makers of it. Those who find an interesting way for their children to exhaust their energy, and to become weary or energyless are helping them to be good. Nature teaches us that all young creatures need exercise for development and must have it: and the child is no ex- ception. A healthy boy likes to yell and hammer and kick Children should never be expected to act with the same decorurn as do grown people The child who is taught to expend it's energy in play doesn't devote 1t to naughtinesS.

Very nnodestIy does the writer exc plain the motives of his b0ok in it's brief foreword.
 Several public spirited citizens of Norwich, he writes, who felt that an event so important and interesting as the celebration in 1909, of the two hundred and f1ftieth anniversary & the settlement of the town ought to be comnenorated in perrnanef form, invited him, in the Fail of 1911, to undertake the work, which during December, 1911, he accomplished, purely as a labor of love

The advice to forget the sorrows of yesterday and go hunting the joys of today is worthy attention If man could only have acquired the habit of losing his sorrows of yesterday in oblivion as he has of losing his tenn per in a minute. how the joys of life would have been multiplied Some writers claim joy is something you can't find, but that it will find you if you come into the right relation to God and duty; but many a person has seemed to find joy if the inheritance footed up right. Exactly what joy is may not be so easily defined. but we know that like sugar it is possible to get too much of it: although, to ex- claim that we are overjoyed conveys the idea that we are heavily loaded

In writing his valuable and inter esting story, MT. Gilman says early in his text that the history Of Norwich for the two hundred years following the foundation under the rocks on the uptown green. in 1859. has been fully set forth by Frances Manwaring Caui- kfns, whose history says a discrim- mating writer, "is one of the fulleG and best of those volumes Of focal lore that afflict American historical writers with an excess of authentic material" The fruits of her research es, Mir. Gilman declares. as household words, and by them she will be held in everlasting remembrance.

 But the book. In compiling the events at that celebration period, Mir Gilman has done much more than a mere reporters task. He has brought to the work a wonderful dfScrinina- ton in selecting from what nig1Ec have proved a great mass of dull and ordinary statistics those facts of per nlanent value which merit permanent preservation, as affecting the town and city's history, present and to come.

the mixture ! should not recommend
it highly,
OF the desserts, pineapple, either
shredded or in pieces, may be used
in shortcakes, gelatines, cornstarch
buildings or tapioca buildings. A word
of warning al to the pineapple gela-
tines, Canned pineapple can be used
in any recipe, but the fresh pineapple
contains ferment which will liquify
gelatine, Hence fresh pineapple can
only be used around gelatine desserts.
The home canning of pineapple
produces satisfactory product
somewhat cheaper than the bought
canned variety, If one does not count
labor. The preparation Of the pine
apple is an endless job, as any one
can testify who has tried it, but the
result has superior favor according
to the taste Of some people. Others
feel that fruit such as pineapple
which is canned at the factory close
to where It is grown has a better fla
vor than the shipped-in, home-canned
fruit.

Pineapple.

The season is now on for the use
Of pineapple in its fresh state, and
the home canning of the fruit. 1t is
about as cheap now as it ever gets in
this region, and is in excellent con-
dition. II is valuable for the same
reason that any fruit is valuable, and
in addition pineapple has favor that
is especially agreeable to most peo-
pie,
An excellent dessert is the fresh
pineapple, sliced, cored and allowed
to stand in a cool place after being
sugared. The plain pineapple can be
varied by the addition of crushed or
whole strawberries or sliced bananas.
In place Of q fruit cocktail as first
course or for breakfast the pinapple
may be served in slender cone-shaped
pieces arranged around mound OF
powdered sugar. To take out the
cone-shaped pieces, wash a pineapple,
but do not pare it. With silver
fork dig around one Of the eyes,
reaching as far into the core as pos
sible. After one or two pieces have
been dug out the Others can be taken
out easily. ..., r

a multitude Of salads and desserts.
1t is usually combined with other
fruits, nuts and marshmallows in a
fruit salad. but a pineapple and cheese
