ELEVATED TRAINING SCHOOL.

How Employes Are Taught Their Man
 fold Duties-Bearded Pupils of Kin dergarten.
 The spectacle of a lot of full-grown bearded men sitting solemnly in rows, schoolroom fashion, and being taught by simple, kindergarten, object-lesson methods, is both novel and amusing. But it is to be seen nearly every day if you but knew when and where to look for it. The hour is 10:30 in the morn- ing; the place is a long, narrow room in the west gallery of the Sullivan square elevated terminus and the dra- matis personae are the candidates for employment on the Boston elevated, and their examiners and teachers
 When the Boston elevated employs a man they never know but he may some day be superintendent of shops, road master, chief train dispatcher, or, for that matter, president So they like to feel sure that he is a good specimen of man at the start, with all his senses and faculties about him. He must have a reasonably quick ear, good sharp eye, neither near nor far-sighted nor color blind; and he must be of at least aver age intelligence.
 In the schoolroom are a number of very interesting objects (for, as I said, instruction is of the object vari- ety) among them a whole full-sized ele- vated train. The cars, to be sure, are not real cars, but skeleton frameworks of wood the same shape, set upon posts instead of wheels. But they have real gates, real bells air whistles and head lights: air compressors, reservoirs and brakes; all the valves, pipes and elec- trical machinery that a regular elevated car has.
 There is so much to learn about an elevated train before you can run it safely that it seems impossible that the average S2-a-day man without tech- nical education usually, or the knowl- edge of trade. should ever be able to acquire it. The list of signals alone would keep one's memory in good work ing order. A guard must be able to signal his motorman with the bell-cord to stop, go ahead, slow down. back up sound his whistle for calling in flag men, or test his air-brake connections. A motorman must know how to signal with his air whistle for hand-brakes in case the r-brakes, for any reason, fail; or to have them released; to send out fagmen, or bring them in; or call for particular electrical connections, or scare aerial cows or imprudent people off the track, and, most frequently of all to signify with his familiar two sharp little blasts that he has received whatever signal was displayed for him. Then there is the language of the lan- tern to be learned.
 Everybody has noticed the two marker" lights high up on each side of the front of the elevated trains. Those are principally for the benefit of the men in the switch towers to show what route a train is travelling on so they may throw their switches accordingly. The markers are four sided lanterns

MUST HAVE TIT.
Properly Selected Food of Great Im-
 portance.

Loss of memory is a sure sign that the body is not taking up proper ele- ments from the food. Then is the time to feed especially selected foods or the person may become demented.
 A mother writes about her son and it is interesting My son, Albert, now 25 years old and principal of the TT High School, graduated at the Kansas University and is a post graduate of the Columbia, Mo, University.
 When he began teaching about a year ago he had just completed his educa- ton and was badly broken down in health He had only about two months vacation and spent it at Excelsior Springs, but when he returned, there was no improvement.
 We thought he would get better after be began his work, but instead of inn proving he became more weak and ner- vous, and finally. forgetful in the school room. He tried different physicians and everything he could hear of and at last gave up school and came home, after putting teacher in his place.
 I cooked every delicacy I could think of for him but he became very thin and we were greatly worried about him.
 
 Grape-Nuts. He caught sight of the package and after reading the state ment of what the food was intended for. became much interested and began using it.
 He liked it, and at the end of week was very much strengthened and inn proved We were encouraged. He stuck to Grape Nuts and in five weeks was back in the school-room.
 He is now teaching the second term in the same place, has recovered en- tirely and gained wonderfully in flesh, lie now weighs 165 pounds and is an expert football player.
 My daughter. Georgia. eight years old, was a weak little girl until after we found what effSct Grape Nuts had on Albert, we put her on the food and now she Is exceptionally stout and healthy. We wish to thank the Com pany for the great help the food has been to us" This lady lives at Halls ville Mo. Name given by Postum Co, Battle Creek, Mich.

 Last Night ....
 The annual banquet of troop A caval- ", Connecticut National Guard, at the Union League club last night, was a marked success. Covers were laid for eighty, and Steward Mason and his as- sistants faultlessly served a most eX cellent menu to the diner.

 The dinner began at 6:30 o'clock, and at it's conclusion speech making began with Captain Luzerne Ludington as toastmaster. The following toasts were responded to in splendid style, and there were frequent interruptions by reason of vociferous applause:
 Postmaster, Captain Luzerne Lud- ington.

HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.
Regular Meeting Largely Attended Last
 Evening

Regular Meeting Largely Attended Last
 Evening.
 The regular meeting of the New Haven County Horticultural society was held last night In their rooms in the First National Bank building, and it was attended by about thirty members of the society. The meeting was called to order at eight o'clock | by the president of the association, John \. Champion, and after the reading of the minutes of the last meeting the regular routine of business was transacted. Three new members were taken into the society An interesting paper was read by William Terrier, gardener for Eli Whitney. The title of the paper was '',rhe Difficulties of Horticulturists." Mir. Terrier said that in | these times the gardener had to be posted on almost everything. He said that they were blamed for everything that took place or did not take place about the farm or good unless he knew how to take care of the cows, chickens and everything on tho place. He spoke of some of the many difficulties that the gardener of to-day has the paper discussion was held on some of the points mentioned. Mir. Thomas, MT Johnson, MT. Rowe, MT. Doughty and others joined in the discussion and several interesting points were discussed.
 One of these was the question of buying coal at cheaper rates than exist at the present time. The members claimed that they paid altogether too much, considering the large quantity they consume. It was estimated that over thousand tons are used by the members of the society each year, and they discussed plans whereby they could get the coal at rates lower than the retail prices, No action was taken on the matter, but 1t was suggested that some of the memebrs meet and discuss the ques- tion, and if necessary call a special meet ing for the purpose of waiting on the dealers.
 It was expected that at the meeting last night q report on the progress made in the interests of the coming show would be made, but owing to some little detail that was not pushed through. the report will not be made until the next regular meeting of the society, which will be held two weeks from last night. At this meeting MT. Doughty will read paper on "Bagonias."
 Eli Whitney and Charles w. Scranton were among the members present at the meeting last night.

representation of one delegate to every 250 members.
 Among the speakers on the two amendments relating to the represen- tation from each state both of whict were framed by Miss Janette Richards of this city, were:
 | For the amendments--Miss Floretta Vining, Boston, and Mrs. Camp, Con- necticut.
 Against-Mrs. Lillian Pike Roome and Mrs Donald Mclean of New York city.
 The debate occupied two hours, when Miss Richards announced that she rec ognized that those who stood with he1 for the amendments were in hopeless minority and she would accept defeat gracefully. The chair was about to de- clare recess when Mrs. Donald Me Lean, of New York, made vigorous attack on the parliamentary procedure of the president-general and thrice in sisted that the vote on the amendments was next in order Mrs. Fairbanks in- sisted on the recess against a number of protests
 The Richards amendments were overwhelmingly defeated at the after noon session.
 The second of these, which was an amendment to the original, was to add to a regent from each state one repre- sentative at-large and one for every 150 members In the state.
 An amendment offered by Mrs. Ham ilton Ward. of New York, giving each chapter of 100 members or less repre- sentation in the continental congress of one delegate or alternate, and all chapters of over 100 members two dele gates, and one by Mrs. Robert Emory Park, of Georgia, providing that every chapter of over 100 members have one delegate for each hundred members, were both defeated.
 An amendment offered by Mrs. Fran ces P. Burrows, wife of the junior Unit ed States senator from Michigan, re- ducing the representation by according one delegate or alternate for each chap ter and one delegate or alternate for every 100 members, was lost, 121 to 2l4 A change from biennial sessions to an- nual, and that the beginning of each session take place on the first Monday in May. were proposed in an amend ment offered by Mrs. Hamilton Ward, of New York, but it was defeated, as was an amendment to change the time of meeting to the last of April.
 The congress held a session tonight to continue the consideration of amend ments. The attendance was smaller than during the day.
 Among the amendments adopted was one by Mrs. Thomas Roberts providing that arrangements for the continental congress be made by joint committee from the congress and the national board, to be appointed by the presi- dent-general. Another amendment adopted provides that the annual dues of $2 of the national society shall be payable on or before March p, instead of February p, the object being to sim plify the work of the treasurer general.
 Mrs. Fairbanks, the president-gener- al, has appointed committee to inves- tigate and report upon the Mon- chapter controversy. Mrs. Ormsbu of Vermont becomes a member of this committee.
