Nevertheless it is a pity that trees which are not in the way of public improvements should be ruthlessly destroyed or suffered to perish by inches. They take long to grow, and all citie? which have offered their trees as a sacrifice to the march of innovation have found themselves obliged to endeavor to replace the greenery which they were so anxious to abolish. The architecture of most New England towns is commonplace and incongruous, and Bridgeport is nc exception to the rule. Wood and paint easily grow shabby ahd need the sdftening influences of green boughs. A New England residence street which has been denuded of its trees is a painful spectacle under scorching summer suns. Such treeless wa: te art a poor advertisement for a city ana property interests, if nothing higher, should prevent them from, becoming too common.—Bridgeport Telegram. Helps for the Housewife.

Something like $10,000,000 has been lost by tbe banks there within a year or twTo by the peculations oi officers and employes, and popular confidence in the banks has been so impaired that bankers themselves are considering the advisability of having an Insurance scheme adopted.

The Dreamer and His Message Vivid ly Pictured by Rev. R. W. Al exander.—Gen. 37:19. To have the children constantly away from home is a great trial to any parent. Especially is this true when the parent knows that the children are exposed to unbroken hardships and mortal perils. Jacob was a shepherd, living in the rich and fertile valley of Hebron. But splendid as the valley was for grass it was not sufficient to give pas ture to his large herds and flocks. At this time therefore, his sor.s had ta ken the cattle and were feeding them near Shechem, a city that had been shamefully treated and wronged by them and which had sworn vengeance upon them. Hence, Jacob's anxiety; hence the significance of his question. “Do not thy brethren feed the flock at Shechem?' Joseph Parker says, “Joseph was the child of his father’s ! old age, the idol of the old man’s heart, the light of the household.’ And yet Jacob’s anxiety for his other boys becomes so overpowering that and so he sends Joseph, he must know about their welfare, But his brethren see him coming when he is yet afar off and they be gin to say one to another, “Eehold, this dreamer cometh. Come now, let us kill him and throw him into some pit, and we will tell'the .old man that some wUd_beast hath de voured him!” Why was Joseph thus hated of his brethren? Because 6?"his dreams. He was a great dreamer, ana his dreams were very annoying to his brethren. They seemed to cloud their prospects and exalt Joseph, arfd so they said, “We will put an ead to all of this, We will kill the youngster and see what will become of his dreams.” And what did become of his dreams? As Joseph Parker says, “Yoi can kill the dreamer, but you cannot touch his dream, You can poison the preacher, but you cannot have any power over the message he hears.” And now what do w;e see in all this? Why in this noble type we see the great contrasts which the evan gelists never allow us to forget in Christ’s life and surroundings. The Man of sorrows and the Bridegroom; the Pascal supper and the Marriage feast; the Carpe ter and the World builder; the humiliation of Death and the coming Glory; the bitter Cup and the New Wine in the New Kingdom. So present, so insistent are the carking cares that crowd in upon us with almost resistless and crushing force that dreams of a far off future find but little place in our busy minds; and yet, no age has ever be come great except through its dream ers. “Where no vision is,” says the prophet, “the people perish.” Prosaic hirelings of --the dust have never achieved anything r.oble, have given to the world neither inspiration nor generous conception. All progress has come through the world’s dream ers. Without the seer, the poet, man’s life soon becomes beastly and dull and hopeless. The imaginings of the sculptor, the architect, .the painter, the scientist, the .statesman, have ever been the world’s inspiration; the trumpet-call adown the ages to man kind to struggle onward and upward to the Mount of God. But among all the dreamers from Enoch and Lame<jb, Jacob and Joseph Moses and David, Homer and So crates, was there evbr such a dream er as the Man of Galilee? A man who dreamed of an empire without arms, a government w ithout force, of thread ing the labarynths of human woe and sorrow, of cutting the Gordian Knot of sin and death, of solving the rid dle of man’s destiny, of transmut ing the base metal of man’s nature into pure gold of celestial glory? And this dreamer Priests envied and Rabbi scorned and Scribe judged; and Saduccee hated!* Why? Because, like the cloud castles of the sunset his dreams were far up above, unscal able by the leaden feet of their sen sual thought, unassailable by the weapons of their puny spite, there fore they smote the dreamer and trampled gn the torch he bore. And, wonder of wonders, }n smiting the dry roclt>sth” waters gushed out, in trampling on the fire-brand they kind led a fire that should burn up their city, in stilling that one voice from Calvary they waked ten thousand echoes that shall verberate and rever berate around the w-orld to the end ol nine! And thi* dream of His “dying the Just for the unjust” is the dream of the ages, the one transcendental act of the world, that which not only re minds us of the great cross and the black shadows of sin and,, death behind it but also bids hope look forward through all the centuries, from mountain top t<? mountain top, from cycle to cycle until the impossi ble shall become the actual, the ideal the real. And if we believe that the one was actual, real-that “He himself bore our sins in His pwn boly on the tree” we are constrained to believe that His purpose shall be accomplished, Hi3 dream realized. One of the wonders of this man’s dreams was that they always shone most resplendent in the darkest hour Of ijis life, that Hi3 very hopes were | bound up with other men’s despairs,” , “And I, if I be lifted up, will draw all men unto Me. Except a grain of wheat fall into the ground it re maineth alone, but if it die it bringeth forth much fruit.” In-the hour of Hja. condemnation He says ,to His Judges, “Ye shall sy^the gon of Man sitting on the right hand of power WORK AS A BEAUTIFIER. Some Observations on This Subject by the Serene Mr. Grillpingbly. “In all the talk about how woman can make herself more beautiful,” said Mr. Grillpingbly, “I don’t remem ber to have seen anything about the value of housework. If anything has been said about this I must huve missed it but* the fact has now been brought to my attention in a some what curious manner. “The hani times, from which I trust we are now emerging, hit the Grill pingbly outfit to the extent of mak ing it necessary for us to dispense with the services of our single maid; and that made it incumbent on Mrs Grijlpingbly to take up the house hold work in our establishment, which, being a real sport, she cheer fully did, and no such calamity be fall us as might have been anticipat ed; in fact the outcome has been happy all around. Instead of becominj thin and haggard and worn out with the work she has seemed to me to become more beautiful all the time. Making all due allowances for how she would seem to me for the cheer ful courage that she had shown in this emergency it seemed clear to me that the work had done her no harm but really quite the contrary, and such in truth, seems to be the case. “For Mrs. Grillpingbly herself tells me that housework, all around house work, is fine exercise; that it brings into play all the muscles, and is as good exercise as one could have. iH this exercise she does not include wasnrag, and here I might mention 1 that we put our washing out; but tie j dusting and sweeping, the general j miscellaneous housework, she says, Is the best allroun^ exercise that one c*an take. “And I am inclined to think that this must be so. I wouldn’t have be lieved she* could be more-beautiful, but she certainly is so now. this due apparently to taskwork imposed by hard times. “They say, you *Lnow, that every ' cloud has a silver lining—this one floated our way appears to have been lined with gold.” and coming in the clouds of Heaven.” Let us as nearly as we can put our selves in the place of .the men of that day and think, not of the Son of God but, of the roughly clad Galilean peas ant, and see how His claims- and pre- : teations must have been received. In the first place, He posed as a Teacher. Was not this a dream of surprising, startling strangeness? An obscure countryman, from a con temned and notoriously disreputable village undertaking to teach the world! Assuming the title, not of Philosopher or Doctor but, The Truth not an Expounder but the Embodi ment of the truth. Wiser far than Moses or Solomon, Hiliel or Sham mah, Gamaliel or Poull,—not a “hedge to the law,” but the Source of law; laying the foundation, only using the wisdom of the ages as stones prepared co His hands for the Temple of Wis dom, rejecting or accepting, placing 1 or displacing each according to His owrn plan or purpose. Is it any won- 1 der that He was regarded as a mad man? Is it any wonder they said, ‘Come, let us kill him?” To us who have seen 19 centuries of change, and who, by race and coun try, are the children of revolution the shock of such claims and such teach- 1 mgs among a tradition loving and i custom bred people, such as the Jews of that day, is almost inconceivable. To men who wrote the “hedge of the , law,” the tradition of the elders, who bad spent their lives in establishing its minutest precepts of formalism, Jesus must have seemed a Tadical re volutionist indebd. Change, perhaps, they expected but a change backward that is, a restoration not an abroga tion, not a passing away of the pomp and circumstance of the Levitical rit ual. But worse still, the very acts of Jesus spoke an Independence that to them must have smacked of rebel lion against established authority! He healed on the Sabbath days; He touched the leper; He cleansed the Temple and set up a new center of reverence and ©rgafaized a new reli gious obedience, “If thou wilt be per fect, go sell all that thou hast and give to the poor arfcl come follow Me.” Is it any wonder that they re garded Him as an insane dreamer? is it strange that they said, “Come, let us kill Him?’’ For what priesthood but would resent such claims, what tribunal but would punish such pre tentions hgaingt their authority? But worst of all, perhaps, in their eye, was His claim to_superior sanc tity, to a cleanness that was above defilement, even by the touch of leper or association with sinners—a holiness and power that could com mand even corruption and death to deliver up their prey. And on these claims, this Man of vision has wrought so substantial a dream of an ideal city, of a sinless humanity, of an endless peace, of a parliament of nations and a brother hood of man, of such complete banish meat of sin and sorrow, of wrong and Ignorance, that again God shall taber nacle with man and His voice be heard in a new Eden. # Joseph’s drefcm was realised. Jfis father and brethren did make obedi I ence unto him, and he stood next to the king and governed busy, popu lous Egypt. So shall it be with this dreamer of Galilee. Though His heart w'aa saddened by human wicked ness and His brow torn by human spite. ‘“He shall see of the travail HYDROPHOBIA. Preventive Treatment and Announce' ment by the State Board of Health.

It should be said also that, if after trial it sLould be found necessary for the support of this special work, the fee will be increased. This work will be incharge of Dr. <J. A.

Board of Health IN POLITICS MOMEY BUYS. j Unlike mercy, the* secret con tribution of a great sum of money to politicians curses both him who j gives and him who takes. It is a source of political debauchery wherever tolerated. In England it has embarrased both parties and cansed the nation to blush. The public has seen brewers sud denly converted into barons aqji bankers into knights, and has understood periectly that the only reason was a generous subscription tp the expenses of a party. The matter has been brought up again i and again in parliament, and liberal premiers have vied with conservative prime ministers iir making shamefaced explanations of the ‘‘birthday honors,” which do not explain.—New York Post Bucklen’s Arnica Salve Wins.

Of tire many strange sects which find followers in some portion or other of the globe there is none more eccentric or mote Spartan in self discipline than the Doukho* bors. It is a sect which responds to a call that brooks no cavilling, no haukbaek. The people who vol untarily accept its obligations im pose upon themselves a penance which is calculated to test the limit of their endurance. Humili ation of the flesh is part and par cel of their creed. To such extremes do they carry their fanatical be liefs lhat they are frequently to be seen marching through scorching heat or bitter cold with practically no clothing beyond a loin cloth to cover them. l he JJoukhobors make sacrifices which surpass iu severity those of the most rigid ascetic. They have been ordered by their leaders to sell their cattle. They have done so. Now their children are dying for want of sustenance. Last au tumn they were ordered to sell their sheep and they disposed of 15,000. They then sold their chick ens. Now they are paupers. . According to the statement of a correspondent who has studied their custom0, 500 DoukLobors live in two houses. Every man and woman has a sp ice allotted, which is just lour feet wide. They have to get into their beds from the foot, so cramped are their quarters. All eat at big tables in the center. The youDg men sleep like sardines i » the garret. And, under a new rule, i:o Doukhobor may own more than une shirt. So poor and indigestible is their food now’ that most of the Doukhobors are really ill and diseased. They let the law go as a dead letter, and births, deaths and marriages go unrecorded. They live in northwesterihCan ada, these strange fanatics. Only a little while ago they were Russians Quakers ib reality. Like some of the earlier English Quakers, they were forced by persecution to leave their country and flee to North America. Their English proto types went to Pennsylvania more than two centuries ago; the Rus sians weut to Canada in 1808. Th* y settled near Lake Winnipeg, and there are now; where 300,000 acres are reserved for their coloni zation. FOOLING THE VOTERS. Tha Republican plan for the publicity of campaign contribu tions “after election” is evidently a political fake to fool those who believe that contributions from trusts and corporations are re turned by reciprocal favors. Con gressman Gaines, of West Virgin ia has let the cat out of the bag,* and as he'was Chairman of the Committee which favorably re ported the publicity bill, he un doubtedly knows all about sueh political schemes. A dispatch from Hot Springs, where Mr. Gaines is visiting Mr. Taft, reports Mr. Gaines having said today that he was in sym pathy with both the efforts of Mr. Taft and Mr. Bryan to have pub licity, but Tie feared that the local political managers, the men who have to get the “dough” would do just as they have done in years gone by and neither Mr. Taft or Mr. Bryan would be told about it. “I do not say,” remarked the West Virginian, -“that the public* ity law puts a premium on perjury, but it puts veracity at a disad vantage. Iam not in favor of any legislation that makes a eonscien lious man less available as a cam paign mar.tiger than a man with an elastic* conscience. ’ ’ t’ongicssman Gaines is a shrewd Republican politician and a leader of his party and he plainly tells us n t tne Kepublican managers Y> vp to got “the dough and that notified corruption wiil flour'sh as in oth^r campaigns, Bo all this talk of not receiving contributions from Trusts by the innocent Taft! and the promise of publicity ‘ after” is but a new scheme to tool the vottrs. Well, we expected as much. V. REUNION OF NASH FAMILY. A most enjoyable reunion was held held Friday night at the home of Mr. and Mrs. S. 8. Nash.

A Problem of Prime Importance to All Eastern North Carolina. Altongh the question of drain age conies home forcibly to the people of eastern North Carolina than any other portion of the State on account of the very large area of swamp lands in that section, it is a question of importance to all the people of the State, inasmuch is it means the reclamation not only of swamp lands but also of “over-flow” lands. There are ap proximately 3,750 square miles of swamp lands in North Carolina besides thousands of acres cf “overflow” lands, many o| which are susceptible to reclamation, if propeny aramea. in many in stances, no engineering difficulty has stood in the way of draining a particular piece, of land, but absence of adequate laws. There is no general drainage law in North Carolina, although several coun ties and townships have had laws passed relating to the drainage of areas within their borders. Thus it has happened quite fre quently that a scheme for draining certain areas has bad to be abandoned because, m order to eairy out sucessfully the plan of drainage, it wguld be necessary to go beyond the boundary line of the township or county and in this adjacent territory there were no laws relating to draidage. If these large areas in the State are to be sucessully drained, it will be necessary to have some gen eral legislation passed covering the whole State with certain sup plementary laws to govern cer tain local conditions.^ There is no doubt that the Federal Gov ernment is beginning to take a most decided interest in the re claimation of swamp lands and when Congress passes law’s per mitting Federal aid to states in the reclamation of swamp lands, it is those States that have prac tical drainage laws that wiil un doubtedly be the first to obtain cooperative aid from the Federal Government^ When we consider the area of swamp lands in North Carolina, that it is nearly as great as that of the kingdom ot Saxony which has nearly 5,000,000 people, it will be seen that the State has the opportunity of developing an area which is capable of support ing a population that is larger than the present population of the whole State. Although some of the swamp areas do not con tain land that is very well adopt ed to agricultural purposes, still there are" vast areas which, if drained, would be capable of growing a vast variety of -pro ducts. They would not be far from railroads so that the pro ducts of the farms could be easily ’ marketed. A large proportion of the swamp lands is sufficiently ele vated above the neighboring water courses to make drainage feasible, but usually this is be yond the reach of individual. It is possible to accomplish this if the laws of the State will per mit different interests joining to gether to carry out these large drainage schemes and to issue bonds to obtain the necessary funds to accomplish their end. - In order to more thoroughly discuss this question of drainage, the Geological Board at its June meetiting authorized the State Geologist to call a meeting to be held in eastern North Carolina of delegates from various counties in eastern Nort Carolina to con sider the drainage problems of the State and to suggest legisla tion that would make the solving of the problem possible. Dele gates have been appointed from nearly all of the counties in east ern North Carolina; also promi nent engineers throughout the State, who will meet at Newbern September 9th and 10th. • These nun represent not only eastern but also central and western North Carolina where the drain age problems are somewhat dif ferent from those in the eastern swamps lands, but yet at the same time are as -important to their respective sections of the State. Congressmen Small, Thomas and Godwin of the First, Third and Sixth districts respectively, are heartily in accord with what is being done in regard to drain age in the State and are expected to be in attendance at the Con vention. Mr. Small has had Mr. Wright of the U. S. Bureau of Agriculture give a great many addresses in his district on the question of drainage which have aroused considerable interest in this important work. Mr. God win has* also most thoroughly identified himself with the the re clamation of swamp lands in North Carolina and in March, 1906, made a speech on the floor of the Rouse of Representatives favoring Federal aid to State in the reclamation of their swamp lands. Many of the States have alreadj taken up the question of drain age and have passed satisfactory laws which are resulting in the reclamation of large areas oi otherwise valueless lar.dj, and this has meant a considerable in crease in the revenue of the State.
