A BOSTON NOTION.

People are in the habit OF laughing at
Boston notions, but they do have some
good ones there. One of them is being
and his Lend-a-Hand club. Considering
the unwholesome character of working
girls MONDAY lunches and the uncomfor-
table conditions which surrounded the
eating of them, DR.. Hale and his club eet
to work, and the result is the opening of
three rooms in a central part of Boston's
business section, where open house is kept
from 10 a. IN. to 3 p m. for all the work
ing girls and women who may choose to
avail themselves of the privileges offered.
Here is pleasant parlor with pictures,
papers and flowers, and a gen.
erously supplied work-bas upon
the table, where the girls can
mend their gloves or take the "stitch in
time" in other articles of apparel, while
they are spending their noon hour. In
one of the rooms lunch is provided at the
lowest practical rates where those who
choose can secure nourishing and appetiz.
ing food or can supplement the lunch
| brought with them. Stews and soups
form an important part of the bill of fare
The plan is expected to be a self-sup
porting one, and more than two hundred
members are already secured, each paying
ten cents a week for the privilege of the
place. With the right kind of manage
ment it will be very useful and helpful.

paper who was trying to establish quo
tation in the kiss market has succeeded in
doing 30, but, as often happens in other
markets, the views of the holder didn't
prevail. She wanted 81, ZOO for the kiss
The man who got 1t didn't want to pay
anything for it. The court which wss
called upon to make the valuation decided
that $25 was about right, and $25 it is.
There is some difference between 81 900
and $25 It is fortunate for the future of
the kiss market that the quotation wasn't
made 1000. At $25 a kiss good, many
traders cana afford to continue in the
market, for awhile, at least, but at 81 900
most of them would have to drop out, and
thriving industry would receive severe
check. OF course this decision was made
by male court, and 1t may not be well
received by those who have kisses to sell.
But it will probably meet the approval of
the philosophers who have no interest in
the market and are therefore, perhaps,
best qualified to Judge of the real value
of the article dealt in. To them $25 will
still seem somewhat high, but they will
realize that the court has made very de-
cided reduction in taking 1915 off the
asking price.

Ambition.

What is ambitions 'Tis glorious cheat
1t seeks the chamber of the gifted boy,
And lifts his humble window and comes IN.
The narrow walls expand, and spread away
Into kingly palace aud the roof
Lifts to the sky, and unseen fingers work
The ceiling with rich emblazonry, and write
His name in burning letters over all.
And ever as he shuts his wilder'd eyes,
The phantom Gomez, and lays upon his lips
A spell that murders sleep, and in his ear
Whispers a deathless word, and on his brain
Breathes fierce thirst no waters u ill ellay.
He is slave hepcetorth His days are spent
In chaining down his heart, and watching where
To rise by human weaknesses. His nights
Bring him no rest in all their blessed hours;
His kindred are forgotten or estranged;
Unhealthful fires burn constant in his eye:
His lip grows restless. and Its smile is curl'd
Half into scorn; TIL the bright, fiery boy,
That twas daily blessing but to see,
His spirit was SO bird-like and SO pure,
Is frozen in the very flush of youth,
Iuto a cold, care-fretted, heartess man.
And what is its reward? At best q name.
Praise-when the ear has grown too dull to
hear;
Gold-when the senses it should please are
wreaths~whsn the hair they cover has grown
FameSwhen the heart it should have thrill'd is
numb.
All things but Love-when Love is all we want,
And close behind comes death, and ere we
know,
That even these una vailing gifts are ours
He sends us, stripp'd and naked, to the grave.

These are lively times for the stock
holders in the New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad and Its branches. It is
probable that some of them even worked
yesterday in figuring what is coming to
them by reason of the exchanges which
are to be made and the new issue of
debenture certificates. The announce
ment that debentures to an amount not to
exceed SIS, 600, 600 are to be issued was as
thorough surprise to all the smaller
stockholders in the company as they have
had. And it was not quite as pleasant
surprise as some they have been treated
to. They would probably have been con-
tented to go right along profit
ing by the increases in the capt.
tai stock of the company as
they have done. The new plan,
while not unjust to them, is decid-
edly different from the old one. They
will be allowed to lend the road money at
4 per cent for ten years, and can then
convert the debenture certificates held by
them into stock. Of course the interest.
AAS 4uCopiOh w 04OL4 oaSA n1oo W ObuCIb
who will buy or sell the debentures is what
dividend the stock will pay in 1908. If it
pays 10, or 8, or even 6, stockholders who
lend the road money ct will make good
thing on their new investment, and many
of them could afford to keep their old
stock even if the dividend should be
greatly reduced If it shouldn't happen
to be they would be in clover. Debentures
not taken by the stockholders will find a
ready sale, and 1t will be interesting to see
what value is put upon them by the dealers
in them. There ia chance here for a
good deal of fine figuring and speculation.
The New York, New Haven and Hart
ford Railroad company has gone into big
fnanciering, as most of the other railroad
companies of the country have done. 1t
can better afford it than most of them can,
and it does not appear to have yet reached
point where any weakness OF unsound-
ness is evident. Its last move is certainly
a very shrewd, well considered and ap-
parently safe one.

There is womanly charm about hair
meekly parted that calls particularly for
something of the "kerchief" effect. The
figure at the left shows an ideal gown for
a woman of thirty-fve or SO who does not
wish to be too modish. 1t Is a stone gray
the sort of gray that brings out the lus-
tire of ell-kept hair, and that makes q
gray thread or so an ornament. The skirt
falls straight, being set full on the band,
and not modishly sheath-like. Black lace
is full on the shoulders and comes down
the front of the bodice to a point. The
space made is filed with the softest

A Buffalo man has perfected a system of
long-distanoe telephoning at sea which
experts pronounce success. The instru-
ment consists of series of wires and
electrical connections, operated by key
board, by which 106 incandescent lights
are controlled and made to produce the
signals of the Morse telegraph alphabet
The invention has been patented In this
country and Europe and a complete in
strument will be built and placed at the
disposal of the United States government
to be exhibited on the model of the war
ship Chicago at the worlds fair. 1t is
claimed that with 32-candle power lamps
the device will work readily at distance

A new horror is added to life. A French
physician reports youth of 18 whose two
brothers had died of pulmonary phthisis.
Eighteen months after the death of the lat
ter brother, with whom he had lived, the
patient fell i'll with pulmonary tuber-
culosis, which manifestly was of recent
date, as repeated examinations before
showed him to have healthy lungs. The
physician discovered a number of bedbug
bites ON the patients body, and, as the
house was infested by the insects, he sus-
pected them as possible carriers of the in
fection. Sixty per cent. of the bugs,
crushed to pulp and filtered, were found
to contain tubercular bacilli. Three guinea
pigs into whom the pulp was injected died
of general tuberculosis.

A North Carolina man proposes an in
genious plan for endowing a college. He
would insure the lives of fifty men, be-
tween the age of forty and fifty, for
$40, 900 each, and as they die off turn the
proceeds over to the college. In the course
of time the institution would have $780,
900. The Springfield Union suggests an
objection to this plan in the remark that 1t
might be handy whenever the college WAS
hard up for the faculty to go out cunning

Nuts for protectionists to Crack.


If, as protectionists tell us, wages de-
pend upon tariffs, then, as we have the
Same tariff in all parts of the United
States, it would be natural to conclude
that wages should be uniform from
Maine to California. The Foundry
mems association, of Philadelphia, after
considerable amount of correspond
ence, has compiled a tabulated state
ment of wages paid in foundries of the
United States printed in The Iron Age
of May 26, 1892 Some of the figures
are from country foundries, others from
car wheel, stove and malleable iron and
pipe shops, etc. According to this table
the average wages of molders vary from
So. so per day in San Francisco and Oak
land, Cal, to SLIGO in Hagerstown, Nd.
A few of the other averages are: In
Pittsburg, So; Conshohocken, Pa,
s2851s; Philadelphia, $3.50; Chester,
Pa, $40; York, Pa, $40; Reading,
So; Allentown, Pa, $1.90; Bloomsbury,
Pa, $1.75; Denver, So. %; New York and
Brooklyn, So; Chicago, 81. 10; Charleston,
$3.50; Portsmouth, N. H., 1925; Elmira,
N. Y, 81; Wilmington, Del, $1.S5. The
average wages of coremalzers vary from
$3.50 in Leadville, Colo, and 1926 in
San Francisco, to $1.25 in Elnira and
Brockport, n Y, and Selma, Ala; Of
cupola tenders, from $3.50 in Oakland,
Cal, to 81 in several southern cities; of
clippers, from 50 so in Leadyille, Colo,
to rs cents in Athens, Ga.
Will some kind and logical protection
list please explain these discrepancies?
Will he also inform us how it is that the
highly paid labor in eastern cities COM
petes with the poorly paid labor in
neighboring cities and in the south, and
turns out his product cheaper than the
poorly paid labor can turn out their
product? He might also give his reasons
for thinking that New York laborers
need protection from the pauper labor
of Canada and none from the pauper la
Dor of Maryland, and why tariff wall
should not be constructed on the Allie
ghany mountains to protect the three
dollar-a-day laborer of Pittsburg from
the two-dollar-a-day laborer of Reading
and Harrisburg. Such apparent incon-
as these are daily occurring to
many untutored minds, and it behooves
the protectionist to be on the alert with
simple, straightforward arguments to
dispel them.
