Tomorrow is‘ Arbor Daywthe only
holiday in the year that calls us back to
nature. It re-opens the marvelous book
of nature, the delight of the best and
purest of the race. It is particularly and
peculiarlyaday for country life. We
believe we detract nothing from the
praise of our city when we say this. It
is in the country and in such semi-city,
semi-country towns as this of ours that
thereismuch to be found to beautify
and attract. It has the glory of the tree,
rock, sky and sunlight. the beautiful
mantle of grass and flowers, and despite
the manufactories, there are the tranquil
summer and the peaceful autumn. Here,
also, appears the majesty of storms. and
as we are of good old New England, we
share in the enjoyment of the infinite va-
riety and charm of our four distinctly

i invigorated as it draws near to nature
' dplanhs itself firmly on the soil. In
the prosperity of our little city we are
all, astrue citizens, concemed. Let us
strive to make it a seat of beauty by
planting trees and shrubs and encourag-
ing others to do the same. Healthy and
beautiful country life furnishes a solid
basis for general prosperity. In its dc-
cay the state and nation sulfur and hu-
manity receives detriment. To enricha

“Why don‘t you have any soldiers to

cockuey v1sitor recently. “Prince Hal-
bert died twu and thirty ycars ago. yet

There was sense and reason in the

open drive is cast upon the coffin from
the heels of the fliers which rich New
York gentlemen drive past the tomb
daily. This dust gathers upon the dried
up flowers and upon the ribbons till all
is soiled and grimy.
New York fought hard enough to gel
Grant's tomb. Now some of those rich
men who made a large simulation in
property by getting the burial site put on
Riverside driveway ought to take care of
that tomb. Maybe by the your 1094 the

At the time of the war between Chili
Ind Peru, in December. 1879. Chili took
possession or the guano and nitrate of
soda beds which are the chief source of
Peru's government revenues. From that
time to this, under an arrangement by
which Peru‘s creditors received half the
proceeds of the guano and nitrate sales.
Chili has kept possession of most of the
beds, thou h a few have been ceded back
to Peru? ‘A treaty was concluded in
1883 between the two countries. under
which Chili was to hold the two Pei-11v
vian provinces of Turtle and Arica for
10 years. If at the end of that time the
inhabitants of the two provinces desired
them lobe pnrtof t‘hiliau territory. then
Chili was to hold them permanently. but

A New [Departure In Telephone Service.
The Southern New England Telephone
company has adopted a new rule in con-
nectiou with its toll service between
points in the state. Hereafter the party
calling for 11 station out of town will be
asked the name of the person he
wishes to talk with. and if the party de-
sired ls not at the station culled, no
charge will be made for the connection.
This new rule will be appreciated by
users of the toll service of the Telephone
company, as it does not require one to
pay for calling a slutlon.to talk with
some particular person who mey not be
in. Users of the service should be cure-
iul to ask for the party with whom they
wish to talk. otherwise the rule will not
be operative. as a charge will be made at
the regular rates where any station alone
is called end no particular person stated.

Yet the medical profession notes the 1l1f-

he does the differences between natural

To illustrate: With the use of grain
spirits it costs under our present internal
revenue laws 2.} cents for each degree of
alcohol in artificial wine. An imitation

spirits must start out wuh a cost of .30
cents plus cost of the other materials,
not exceeding generally 2 cents a gal

tion of natural wine is added, the com-
pound escapes ourinternsl revenue re-
