and the sap or milk distilled is caught in vessels specially adapted to the pur- pose. The "caucho" tree cannot stand incisions in it's bark, but in twenty years time after being felled a new tree grows up and is ready for treat ment. The "caucho" tree is estimated to yield about sixty-fve pounds, worth from seventy cents to ninety cents per pound on the spot and about fifty per cent. more in the market. The "jebe' tree will yield about twenty-five pounds la year for an indefinite time. Small sections of the rubber-pr producing for ests adjacent to the headwaters of the Amazon have been depleted, but the rapid natural growth of the tree will soon rehabilitate those sections, render ing them again productive.
 This is cheering. New Haven has a large interest in the rubber supply.

AaAININ coNNECTICUT.

Connecticut is the land of steady nab it's and about twenty years ago It looked as if divorce had become one Of our steady and growing habits But in the facts since there is encouragement. A compilation of the ratio between marriage and divorce in selected States in 1883 and in 1903 has been prepared by the Rev. David H. Tribou of Phila- delphia. The States chosen are New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Ohio and Michigan. The average number of mar riages to each divorce in these seven States, which was 1912 in 1883, had dwindled to 1O.84 in 1903. In most of the States the proportion of divorces is growing; in Connecticut it is declining. For instance, in 1883, there were only 12.S6 marriages to each divorce in Con- necticut but in 1903 there were 15.O9. In 1883 the ratio of Connecticut divorces was considerably above the average twenty years later 1t was considera- bly, below the average. In the group of States under consideration Massachus- etts, in which there was one divorce to each 2S,S3 marriages in 1883 and one to each 12.O6 marriages in 1903, shows the most rapid expansion of the busl- ness of getting unmarried.
 So far, so good. Connecticut is such good place for men and women to live in that it ought to be known as a good place for them to live together in.

HIM DATs PLAN

The Chinese will soon have things MT. Linn Dat, a big Chinese merchant in Victoria, is going to see that they get one thing, if he has good luck. He has organized among his countrymen locat- ed in British Columbia a two-million dollar company to construct an electric trolley railroad in China from Canton to San Wu, distance of sixty miles No.white men need apply for stock, as their presence in the company would forfeit the charter from the Chinese Government. The route of the proposed line is populous one, Canton having a population of 100000, and San Wu 50OO0O. The prospectus of the new com- pany sets forth that there are no seri- ous typographical difficulties to be en- countered in building the line the wa ter power will be obtained from the Quai Tong shun Mountains, thirty miles from San Wu; that now there are twenty-two junks, plying on the river between these points, carrying heavy ycargoes and many passengers; that 1t takes these junks fourteen hours to make the trip, which the electric cars will make in three hours. It is also stated that the summer cars to be operated-the climate being warm-will each be equipped with fifty horsepower motors. The plan is to build the line entirely with Chinese labor, even using Chinese electricians as far as possible
 This is China for the Chinese thor oughly enough, but it will teach them something all the same. So we ought to be glad even if we don't own the |line.

STUDYING IN GERMANY.

They do some studying in Germany. There are, 1t appears, in the various universities in the German empire 2,89O students, an increase of more than 2,5OO from last year. A large number of these are women. Tn the year of 1875 76 there were in these institutions but 16694 students, so that in generation the enormous increase in the number is plainly seen. The greatest trend among the students is toward the law, and there are fewer medical students than ever before. The number of women students is constantly increasing, and the number of foreign students at Ger man universities is more than eight per cent. of the total number. America has a good showing in this list, she having 309 students out of the 3,079 enrolled from outside the German empire. Of the women students the great majority are studying medicine, and the number of male students taking up medical studies Is being reduced.
 Complaint has been made that there are too many educated people in Ger many who can't get living out of their education, but we suppose there's al-
 
 ways room at the top, and that many of the new students expect to get there.

MORE RuBBER IN SIGHT.

Perhaps there will never be time when there is more rubber in rubber boots and snoes than there Is now, but there is going to be more rubber Con- sul Mansfield at Valparaiso states that only a small percentage of the rubber forests of the Upper Amazon country have been exploited. Rubber is not produced in Chilli, but in all the coun- try watered by the River Amazon, com prising large portions of Bolivia, the ports of entry for which are in Chilli, and as an industry is attracting the at- tention of foreign capitalists. The more elevated parts of the Amazon region produce the kind of rubber known as 'caucho," while the lowlands flooded by the river produce the 'jebe. "Caueho" and "1ebe" are very similar, the only difference consisting in the greater elas- ticity of the latter. Hence "jebe" is made to serve more delicate purposes and commands a higher price in the market, the difference being usually about 25 per cent. in value. The two kinds of materials are extracted in diff ferent ways. In the case of ''jebe'' ln- cisions are made spirally along the whole length of the tree, whereas to ob- tain the "caueho" the tree is cut down

The Punctured Life.

How strange Is life! A most uncertain Dependent on the wiles and whims of Fate; How much more joy it's passing hours would bring If one was destined never to be late. Tonight, alone, midst other thoughts l pause And ruminate before my ember fire; lost the girl l love the best because l had to stop to mend punctured tire. How true the things we crave are just 1nvitingly they reckon, out of But when far down life's speedway we have sped We find some other fellows captured each. Then undismayed we throw in our high gear, No weak compression thwarts our keen desire; Yet ever when we feel the prize is near We have to stop and mend a punc- tured tire. And thus my life has been broken thread, For when I'm running swift and sure l find Some object seems immovable ahead, And put on the breaks and fall be- hind. But in the end, when all life's cares I drop, And l shall run my auto-chariot of fire, hope I shall not then be forced to stop
 Outside the gate and mend a pune tured tire.

The last annual report of the New Jersey Public Library Commission is highly creditable to the people of the State. There are 1S2 public libraries in New Jersey, a gain of sixteen since last year. Eighty-five are free, thirty eight subscription, eleven school, and forty are supported in whole or in part by the municipality. These libraries contain about 1,469,OOO books. The one at Newark, with 99,718 volumes, and housed in one of the best library build angs in the country, has long taken very high rank. The Jersey City li- brary has 96,276 books; Trenton, S3,SS2; HoboRen, SO145; Paterson, 24,599; East Orange, 22,229, and Passaic, 19599; East of these libraries represent the work of comparatively few years.

far from we'll. The cause may be easily
traced to some arrangement of the 70.

bearing-down pains, fiatulency, nerv.
BUSINESS, sleeplessness, or other fs-
male weakness.
These symptoms are but warnings
that there is danger ahead, and unless
needed a life of suffering or a serious
operation is the inevitable result.
The n~ever-failing remedy for all these
symptoms is Lydia e. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound.
Miss Kate Mcdonald Of Woodbridge,

Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
Restored health has meant 80 much to me
that I cannot help from telling about 1t for

what a splendid medicine it Is"

man who doesn't know anything about
1t:
Don't.
Just plain don't.
Don't be reckless-especially in your
lying.
Don't give to the Lord and then go
out and rob a widow.
Don't acquire the borrowing habit,
or the day will come when you will
out Of friends.
Don't marry an indolent man expect
Ing him to brace up, OIL you may have
to take in washing to pay for the
brace.
Don't be SO mean-minded that you
can see no good In q man. He may
be the first to loan you money in time
of need.
Don't spread butter on both sides Of
your bread just because you have So in
your pockets. An earthquake may come
along and shake the change out Of
