FIRST FIRE FIGHTERS.
Chief Crassus of Engine Company No. l., Rome, Also Dealt in Real Estate.

Chief Crassus of Engine Company No. l., Rome Also Dealt in Real Estate. To the Editor of the Herald:
 How many firemen or citizens of this city know the origin of our or- ganized fire fighting system? The svs- tenn out of which our own grew waa as unique as 1t was efficient,
 Marcus Ltcinius Crassus. who ,ived in the first century B. C., was ahnor- mally greedy. He wanted to pile up wealth in his own coffers Moreover, he wanted a quick and sure way of acquiring money He had under his control a band of 500 trained slaves and whenever fire broke out in the Imperial city he rushed his band of slaves to the spot and bought the burning property or that immediately adjoining it, when the despairing own CTS would sell for a song. Then he ordered his trained slaves to put out the fire. Thus the greater part of Rome fell into his greedy hands. Crassus died in 53 B. C., but his or ganized system of fighting the fires has survived to this day.
 Very truly yours,
 THEODos1Us.

CAN WHAT YOU CAN.

There has been a lot of talk of gardens and gardeners and canning and canners ever since the war began; but we have until now failed to see any one offer substantial prize for endeavor in these lines. It is good therefore to call attention to the offer of the National Emergency Food Garden commission to distribute five thousand dollars in cash prizes for the best canned vegetables shown at town exhibits and State fairs in Sep tember and October. This offer, gen. erous as it can be, should stir up in- terest among the amateurs, gardeners and canners.
 Connecticut will have a State fair, as it has always had . In fact a series of fairs. We shall soon have the familiar scenes in Berlin. Then will be the time for local amateur gardners to go out and collect some of this money offered by the Emer- gency Food Garden commission. The

there I found resting-place, to hold on by the cliff and pant awhile. And gradually. as I went on. warmth of courage hreathed in me. to think that, perhaps, no other had dared to try that pass before me, and to wonder what mother would say to it. *+*
 How I went carefully. step by step, keeping my arms in front of me, and never daring to straighten my knees, is more than I can tell clearly, or even like now to think of, because 1t makes me dream of it.. Only I must acknowledge that the greatest danger of all was just where I saw no jeopardy, but ran up patch of black ooze-weed in a very boast full manner. being now not far from the summit"
 Then John Ridd tells us of how he tripped and fell, lying on his back for while in the soft grass. When he looked up again he saw Lorna Doone bending over him. 1T had never heard so sweet a sound as came from between her bright red lips, while there she knelt and gazed at me; neither had I ever seen any thing so beautiful as the large dark eyes intent upon me, full of pity and wonder. And then, my nature being slow, and perhaps, for that matter, heavy, I wandered with my hay eyes down the black shower of her hair, as to my jaded gaze 1t seemed; and where 1t fell on the turf, among it Cike an early star) was the first primrose of the season.
 But How you are look ing at me! I never saw any one like you before. My name is John Ridd. What Is your name?'
 Lorna Doone,' she replied in a low voice, as if afraid of it, and hanging her head so that I could see only her forehead and eyelashes: If you please, my name IS Lorna Doone: and I thought you must have known It. "
 And so John Ridd made the &C., quaintance of Lorna Doohe who be- longed among those dreadful brigands of whom all the countryside was in such awe. But Lorna was not at all like the brigands herself.

city of New Britain will hold no such est taken here in the municipal garden to warrant such an affair. With a little urging on the part of few committees the Mayor might be ware center for a little while, at least, into an agricultural district.
 There is no doubt that the food stuff is being raised by the amateurs care. That however, is but one part of the work the national government is urging all to take a hand in. The raising of vegetables and other garden campaign for national conservation of foodstuffs. Preserving is the next and a very important step. After the farmers have produced the goods the women folk of the farms are SUD- posed to practice the art which has come to be known as Canning" and preserving. In the Summer, we must not forget the Winter just ahead Great quantities of fruits are now being sold for modest prices on the market. They can be preserved and made last throughout the cold months This is one of the reasons for the liberal offer from Washing ton. Having gone to the trouble of raising vegetables and fruit there ia no reason why they should be con- stunned for the mere sake of getting rid of them. Join the canning clubs.

Tell It To Sweeney.

"I knew a man once." remarks a, writer in the Hartford Times, a, Russian by the name of Spudowski, who applied to a judge of the superior court to have his name Americanized. The judge having an analytical mind said:
 "Spudowski is the Russian plural for potato; spud, potato: Spudowski, potatoes. A potato is 8 Murphy. By virtue of the authority vested in mo bv the statutes, I hereby confer upon you the American name of Murphy"
 But Murphy isn't an American name" protested the little man.
 "It isn't, eh? Well, you go out and tell that to somebody by the name of Murphy and see if it isn't; but first you better leave farewell note saying T do this because I'm tired of life.''
