Port Chester Hearing.

Behind the resolution which was passed by the
Railroad Committee OF the Board Of Aldermen
iest Tuesday. authorizing Alderman Diemer, as
chairrnon Of the committee, 10 call another hear
ING on the application of the Port Chester road,
was a plan to have a snap hearing at which
me organizations in The Bronx which have
been clamoring for action on the application
would not be represented. The plan was to call
the hearing for some day next week. without
giving notice in advance TO the people of The
Bronx. and to have the notice for the hearing
printed only in The City Record. which few
People read
Then it was part IF the plan 10 pack the hear
Ing with a few Tammany workers, who would
present alleged arguments against the applica-
ton. and the committee would have an excuse
Tor throwing the application over. The orders
Tor the programme Of delay came from Four
teenth Street. The carrying out of the plan
would be notice to the people Of The Bronx and
- the Port Chester road that the Tammany
Aldermen in Manhattan south of Fourteenth-st,
and the aldermen in Brooklyn associated with
them. would prevent any rapid transit in The

Handicapped, neglected and rejected
man-seems to be looking up a little.
Miss Helen Gould has just paid a feel
ing tribute to his worth. And now
comes Miss Nettie Summers of Liberal,
Kansas, and gives some excellent
reasons for her belief that imam has
the greater influence over the human
race, both in civilization and in causing
happiness" She certainly proves her
case. In the first place she declares
that the father can scare child into
behaving itself when the mother Is
powcrless in this direction. The
mother" she says, lis generally threat
ening to punish child, but does not
always do as she says, and therefore
her influence does not go far, while the
father, if he threatens, usually enforces
his sayings" Then there is the preach
err, who carries influence and authority
all the time. There are few women
who preach says Miss Nettie, land
those who do preach have little influ-
ence on the people," Then, says Miss
Nettie, look how the men make the
living. I am sure that if men did not
work and make the living, there would
not be much happiness in the world,
And men are always inventing some ar
ticle or machine that is very useful,
and that woman is always wishing
for, but she never goes ahead and in
vents it. think you never heard of
any woman inventing anything. At
least I never did" "Can any
of YOU she asks, name q
woman who ever made such an ad-
dress as Lincoln did at Gettysburg?
And didn't the men cause a good deal
of happiness when we won the Revolu-
tionary war? They surely did, The
women did help some, but most of it
was caused by the great influence that
our Washington had ON the colonies
Miss Nettie is "a good girl and We
hope that some good man will cause
her happiness. She deserves it.

WHITE CO4L.

The modern wonder-workers have
done much, but they have only just be-
gun to use the resources which nature
has provided One of the most inter-
esting things they have done lately is
to begin utilizing a mighty force in
the Alpine region of France. This
source of power is called white coaP'
by the fanciful French. There are big
glaciers in the mountains, and they
| furnish great and never-failing water
power. The streams and cascades have
| been used to certain extent for years.
but not until recently, under the lead
ership of such enterprising men as
| Berges and Joya and Desprez, has this
water been analized"-conducted by
huge pipes from vast heights down the
| mountain sides-and, with the aid of
| turbine wheels, made to develop tens
of thousands Of horsepower and to dis
tribute energy, heat, and light in all
directions. One of the power companies
which uses a lofty torrent has more
than fifteen thousand feet of piping,
part composed of steel plates and a
part of mixed cement, the diameter of
which is more than ten and three
fourths feet. The concern distributes
thirty-five hundred horsepower, supply
ing power to factories in places forty
miles distant. Grenoble is soon to be
lighted by electricity sent from a sta
ton twelve miles away. The valley Of
the Romanche, formerly populated but
sparsely, has now within a distance Of
twelve miles six establishments for
manufacture or for the generation Of
power. The steam on which they rely
is fed by great glacial reservoirs Of
unfailing supply.
A French engineer has computed
that the railroads and other mechanical
industries of France employ 6,500,00O
horsepower now produced by steam,
but that the mountainous regions of
France possess hydraulic forces
amounting to 100000 horsepower.
There is enthusiasm in the Alpine re-
gion over the white coal"

MORE HELP FROM THE HEN.

The helpful hen has had soma of the
appreciation due her. but not anywhere
near what she ought to have. II now
appears that she is going to make a
large addition to the debt the human
race owes her. Iron is a strengthening
medicine when given in an assimilated
form. But many stomachs refuse it,,
however it may be manipulated by the
druggist or mingled in the mineral
spring by the hand of nature. \ new
means has been found for rendering 1t
generally assimilable, namely, by mix
ing citrate of iron in the food CT hens.
After this has been done for about a
month the yolk of the egg becomes rich
in iron, and the most delicate stomach
can digest it. The dose for each hen is
eighty milligrammes of citrate of iron
a day.
If the hen can lay eggs medicated
with iron why not with other things?
Perhaps by and by eggs will largely
take the place of capsules and pills.
Then We can all be we'll and happy.

all the knowledge necessary to make q

mice understand the making of burrows

and squirrels can climb and jump, with
never lesson from any one. All these
animals know how to wash and clean
themselves days before they can see;

from the nest, they may have been too

Last spring I had family of young
raccoons, which were taken from the
nest when they were very young.
They were brought up on bahy's bot

reared by their parents in the woods.
