GOOD SPEECHES.

Whatever there may be in or out of the Constitutional Convention the peo- pie of this region can feel that they are well represented there. Full reports of the speeches made last Thursday in the Convention by Colonel N. c, osborn, delegate from New Haven, and Attor- ney James H. Webb delegate from Hamden, show that both have given much study to the questions they are considering, and that they are well able to tell the Convention what they think. Both made powerful presentation of their views, and both showed them selves to be animated by the right spir- it for Constitution making or amending. It will not be their fault if the Conven- tion does not take sound and adequate action.

MoRE SENTiMANr sLAUGHTERE

That alluring song which sings
 There is no harm in kissing never
 had any truth in it, but when it first appeared it didn't seem quite as prepos-
 terous to the wise as it has since it has been discovered that devilish and dead- ly microbes turk on the lips, ready to damage those who give them an oppor- tunity. But kissing isn't the only thing that the microbe theory has hurt. That theory has taken the sentiment out of several things, It is now pointed out by a writer in the Engineering News that "the Old Oaken Bucket" can't be safely considered to be what it seemed to be when it inspired the poet. It is even charged that the very bucket that in- spired the poet was "slimy with or ganic matter" and filled to the brim with microbes of every form and color. The writer recalls "the malarious farm, the wet, fungus-grown wild wood" the "scum-covered duck pond, the pigsty close by it'' and other pes- tilential spots in the vicinity of that we'll Instead of being a fount of spark ling health and refreshment the bucket, according to this sanitary authority, was "reeking with nitrates and ni- trites, with rotting wood fiber and oxid of iron.
 We guess there is more truth than poetry in this charge, and it is probable that the water from the Old Oaken Bucket should have been boiled before it was used. But it did taste good, and some there be who are glad that the theory wasn't around when they used to drink out of the Old Oaken Bucket when dripping with coolness it rose from the well'

Industries are ''revolutionized" so
 much and so rapidly nowadays that it
 is hard to keep track of the turns. One
 of the latest revolutionizing announce
 ments is that the Technical High School
 in Charlottenburg has just completed
 series of experiments with 8 new meth
 cd for preparing steel Experts say
 that this new invention may revolu-
 tionize the entire metal industry. The
 inventor, named Giebeler, is a small
 manufacturer in Mecklenburg, who has for years been interested in this new
 process, but was unwilling to bring it
 before the public until it had been thor
 oughly tested by experts. The results reached at the Technical High School are described as most satisfactory. By the Giebeler process all sorts of iron can be given strength and hardness double that obtained by the Harvey, Krupp and Boehler processes, in spite of the fact that the cost of production is reduced 50 per cent. Projectiles fired against seven and three-quarter mill limetre (.S05 inch) sheet of steel pro- duced by the Giebeler process penetrat- ed only to the depth of one millimetre (.039 inch), while a similar sheet of krupp steel was completely penetrated With sword blades of this material | other sword blades can be shivered as if they were made of wood.
 It is said that this process is to be | brought to the attention of the great | steel kings of the United States, and if | it is what it is said to be doubtless they will have something to say to MT. Gleb- | eler that will interest him.

MASSA SETTS' coon ROADS.

When Massachusetts and Connecticut
 get their good roads made both States will be much better to live in than they
 are now, and both are pretty good
 now to live in. Our northern neigh
 bor is making good progress. In the last
 seasons work of the Massachusetts
 State Highway Confusion some twen- ty-seven miles of new roads were ada ed to the States system, these and the more extensive work done on old roads being the proceeds of the $500000 which the Commission has decided to spend a year. Since the plan of State activity in the construction and supervision of highways was adopted in Massachu- setts SSS miles of road have been built Most of the main lines such as the one from Boston to Springfield, from the end of Cape Cod to Fall River, from Pittsfeld to the New York State line, the northern route from Boston west, the roads from Boston to Lowell, and from Boston to Providence, are being advanced in satisfactory fashion toward completion. Especially ready cooperation with the work of the Commission has been carried on by the towns in the southeastern part of the State, but a growing interest in the enterprise of the State and an increas- ed disposition to profit by the Commits sion's experience and construction have been displayed by communities in all sections.
 This is encouraging, and it is like the situation in Connecticut. It took much work and talk to start the good roads movement, but it's benefits are so plain that it doesn't take much talk to keep it going.

degree. But the Jerome blood was in
 his veins the Jerome pluck in his heart. He spent much time in the open air, took exercise and built up his phy- slcal strength and development
 Jerome the man, scarcely looks the part of the politician militant. He is Iorty-three years old and looks young CT He is of good height, but slender, His face is rather than and narrow. It IS the face of the student, the man or intellect, rather than the face of the
 lighter. But true physical courage Is marked in the firm chin, the thin lips and the flash of the keen gray eyes. The man of good blood and gentle breeding IS marked in every line of his face, and hls manner, unstudied and unaffected, IS that of the man who knows men and appreciates them at their true worth.
 In private life the fighting politician IS gentle as woman, playful as a child. lie was never "a theorist, and has only two fads, love of home and love of me- chanics. If he had been born to life or manual labor he would have been a machinist and inventor. Edged tools are his toys the whirr of machinery the music of his leisure hours.
 In all things Justice Jerome is essen tia.lly man of action. He has that nervous, restless temperament under the spell of which no man is content unless he is doing things or getting things done. Action is the watchWord Of his existence as well as the secret of his success in politics. When red-tape bars his way he tears 1t to shreds. When conventionalities and precedents would delay work and results he brush es them aside as so many cobwebs that may be good to look at, but are mere entanglements in life of action. He possesses to a marked degree the fortu- nate faculty of fixing his mind on one thing at time. When he works it is With all the strength and energy of his nature. When he plays or rests work is forGott otten.--Ainslee's Magazine.

A Little Grave.

Thrice now the wintry winds have blown
 Above the yellow grass blades here, And thrice the birds have sung and flown
 And thrice the leaves, all brown and sere Have drifted softly, gently down,
 While l, to win the praise of men, Have labored in the busy town
 Forgetting now and then. Forgetting? Nay, l have but tried
 To laugh the ready tears away; With but an outward show of pride
 I still have mourned from day to day, And left the busy market-place,
 At night, to sit apart, alone, And, dreaming, feel little face
 Pressed softly to my own. Thrice now the wintry winds have swept Above my darling, sleeping here, And l, unseen, to-day have wept
 Out many a long, long treasured tear, And where my hopeless teardrops fell New flowers of hope have bloomed for
 me Oh, I'll be glad in doing well,
 Since one love shall see.

TOR THE PANAMA ROUTE NOW.


 The Isthmian canal business is be- coming even more interesting than it has been. The supplemental report of the Isthmian Canal Commission on the proposition of the Panama Canal Conn., pany to dispose of it's property to the United States for $40, 0,000000 was deliv- cred to President Roosevelt Saturday evening. It is said that the report unanimously recommends that the offer of the Panama company be accepted. This has been expected by the well in- formed since the Frenchmen came off their perch and made an offer to sell their Panama ditch at reasonable price. The finding of this same com- mission in favor of the Nicaragua route, in spite of it's greater cost for construction, was based upon it's prox- imity to the United States, upon the known willingness of the lsthmian gov ernments to facilitate the work, and lastly, but chiefly, upon the impossibil- ity of arriving at any reasonable basis of negotiation with the Panama com pany It is now recalled that in it's report sent to the President on No vember 30, 1900, and by him transmitted to congress the commission declared that the estimated cost of building the Nicaragua. Canal is about $5S, 900 900 more than that of completing the Pan anna Canal leaving out the cost of ac- quiring the latter property. This meas ures the difference in the magnitude of
