stood the mansion of Samuel Hooper
Of Boston. the intimate friend of the
eminent author. who was later minis

to the Motley family was made on
this spot and in connection with
Charles Sumner. who married MIR

Effect Here Tomorrow

A two-cent cut in the retail price Of
milk goes into effect in Philadelphia
tomorrow.
Quarts will cost the householder
eleven cents instead of thirteen as at

nine as now.
The prices were fixed after an ll.day

price arbiter of Pennsylvania. presiding.
Under the new arrangement the farmers
shoulder one and three quarter cents of
the reduction.
After hours of haggling between the

meet present conditions and after little
further. argument the agreement was
reached.

Twins and ouadrupIets.

Once in while one reads about 8 birth of quadruplets. Very rarely quintuplets are born, and there have even been instances of sextuplets. When four or more babies come into the world at birth, almost never do more than three of them survive. A tendency to the production of twins is undoubtedly hereditary; it runs in families. A woman whose mother and grandmother have borne twins may fairly be expected, if married, to bring one or more pairs into the world. That curious armored mammal, the arma- dillo, common in Texas and Mexico nearly always produces four young al a birth; and the most remarkable thing about them is that they are identical" quadruplets-i. e., pro. duced by the splitting of a single fer. tilized cell. The phenomenon of split. ting is known to occur only In the ar. madill0 and in man. Identical human twins (produced by a single celI are very exceptional, but not extremely rare. They are in effect duplicates o1 one individual, and might almost be said to share a common identity. Or dinary 'fraternal" twins may be more or less alike, but identical twins resem. ble each other so closely that it is hard to tell them apart.

HlLLiEST OF WORLDS CITIES
San Francisco, With It's Many Eiesa- tions, outranl<s Any of the Gen.
 ters of Population.

As to the question of the seven seas, perhaps 1t Is contributing a little to similar geographical information to refer to the seven hills of Rome and to say that many descriptions of San Francisco incorrectly speak of San Francisco on her seven hills"
 As a matter of accuracy, says the writer of a letter to the editor of the New York Herald, San Francisco is the hilliest of the worlds large cities Occupying the end of a tifty-mile-long peninsula, which is f1anked on the ocean side by the Pacific and on the inland side by the southern arm of San Francisco bay, the city itself cov- CTS rumpled, hilly area of approxi- mately 30,OOO acres, as compared with the 14,00O acres of Manhattan island.
 The city contains not just seven hills but total of forty-four. The highest of them, Mount Davidson, is 957 feet. Two at the apparent end of the main business street, under which the thoroughfare passes by long tunnel. are FPS and 732 feet and are called Twin Peaks, to the summit of which there is a scenic automobile drive. Strawberry hill, in the middle of Gold en Gate park, which Is third larger in area than New York's Central park, is conical hill APO feet high, and 1t is girdled half way up by pleasure | lake, while Lone mountain, famed these last eighty years as the site of mass i've sixty-foot cross upon it's summit, also is APO feet high. Practically all of the forty-four hills of San Francisco are almost twice as high as any hill in Rome and nearly all of them are about twice as high as the Acroplis hill in Athens or Wash ington Heights in New York or the river bluffs of Hoboken or West New York on the New Jersey side of the Hudson.
 Except for that fourth of San Fran l cisco's hills which have been complete ly- built upon or changed by man, this interesting fact have observed on the summits of some thirty of them-wild 1 California yellow vlolets growing and a-bloom in spring, lingering suggestions 1 perhaps of the floral abundance that may have characterized the least fav- ored parts of the peninsula in the old days before the gringo came or be. fore the world learned that mag nificent landlocked and hill-sheltered harbor nearly 100 miles long and from three to six miles wide lay snugly be. hind that narrow slit In the hills, but 6 mile and an eighth in width forming $he picturesque western ocean porta known as the Golden Gate.

was whisked off in a motor truck in the night. The summer homes of city people are frequently gut ted. 1t is estimated that the per capita cost of a mounted constabu- lary would be 8 cents a year. For police protection in Boston the per capita cost is $4.28; Fall River, S2.65; Worcester, $2.73; Spring field, $2.64.
 A bitter cry for a state police also comes from Connecticut. There the farmers. have to reckon all the year with automobile thieves. The idyllic times when property could be left all a sum- mer's day at a crossroads, to be taken into a buggy on the home journey, have passed in Connecti- cut. Lawlessness of all kinds has become too common to excite sur prise. Even Vermont and New Hampshire are talking about constabulary, and Maine is begin ming to murmur. Crime is on the increase in rural neighborhoods everywhere, except in districts where the old American communi- ties have suffered no invasions and still live the simple life.
 Ir every state V. here constab- ulary has been organized 1t has distinguished itself by zeal and fearlessness in the discharge of its duties. It has lived down preju- dice and come to be thought of as 9 blessing. The original model was that sturdy corps of heroic guardians of the peace, the North west Mounted Police of Canada, around which a literature has grown up It may have equals, but can never have superior, The record of the Pennsylvania con stabulary is one for the Keystone State to pc proud of, and all America las heard of Major George F. Chandler's New York state police, who can be summoned through Central" and whose territorial limits are the bounda. ries of the commonwealth" The advocates of 2 constabulary in Massachusetts have had much to say about the usefulness of the New York force. One state con- stabulary invokes another. The day is not far distant when every commonwealth will have its rural police. Trusting to human nature when there are no patrolmen about doesn't pay.

STATE POLICE

Whether or not Connecticut will have a mounted state constabulary remains to be seen. But, that it would be of great benefit to the rural communities of the state can easily be understood after reading of how the plan has worked in states where the system is rapidly growing in favor. If there are any in this town who have views on the matter, they should get in touch with our representative.
 In recent, issue the New York Times said editorially concerning this natter
 The plan of state police for the protection of rural communi-~ ties is steadily growing in favor. Such organizations exist in Penn sylvania, New York, Michigan, Maryland, West Virginia, Nevada and Texas, Massachusetts, Con- necticut and other New England states are demanding constabu- laries Massachusetts sorely needs protection in it's country districts. In some respects Massachusetts has been one of the most progress sive states.
