the worlds most precious treasures.

1t is not surprising that some of
our young men seem to have sucn
hard work to be decent. just re-
member that the first man to dwell
upon the earth was no saint. If
we can rely upon history he was a
liar and sneak. The first wom-
an kept bad company, and woman
like, pried into things that did
not concern her. The first child
born was murderer and killed
his brother. Our first ancestors
were a tough lot and it is hard to
get it out of the blood.

count, little understands the value
of Gods free gift of health and
strength, little appreciates the fact
that the brightest and best of the
country are self-made, and come
to the notice of the world from
just such beginnings. Not by idly
moaning that they are poor, but
by going carefully to work, per-
fecting themselves in their chosen

those about them that their SER
vices are always in demand, wheth-
or it be on the platform, in the
shop or in the kitchen, for all are
honorable.

THE CONQUERED BANNER.
Furl the Banner! for tits weary,

Furl the Banner! for tits weary,
Round its staff it's dropping dreary
Furl it, fold it, it is best,
For there's not man to wave it,
And there's not sword to save ii
In the blood that heroes gave it,
And its foes now scorn and brave it
Furl 1t, hide it, let it rest.
Take that Banner down, tits tattered
Broken in it's staff and shattered,
And the valiant hosts are scattered,
Over whom it floated high
Oh! tits hard for us to fold it,
Hard to think there none to hold it
Hard that those who once unrolled it
Now must furl it with a sigh.
Furl that Banner! for furl it sadly,
Once ten thousand hailed it gladly
And ten thousand wildly, madly,
Swore it would for ever wave,
Swore the foemans sword could ne'r
Hearts like their ,entwined, observer
Till that flag should float forever
Ger their freedom or their grave.
Furl it, for the hands that grasped it,
And the hearts that fondly clasped it
Cold and dead are lying low,
And that Banner, it is trailing,
While around it sounds the wailing
Of it's people in their woe;
For, though conquered, they adore it
Love the cold dead hands that bore 1t
Weep for those who fell before it,
Pardon those who trailed and tore it
And oh wildly they deplore it
Now to furl and fold it so.
Furl that Banner! true tits CORY,
Yet It's wreathed around with glory,
And twill live in song and story
Though its folds are in the dust.
For its fame on brightest pages
Penned by poets and by sages,
Shall go sounding down thru ages,
Furl its folds, tho now we must
CHORUS.
Furl the Banner softly, slowly,
Treat it gently, it is holy,
For it droops above the dead.
Touch it not, unfold it never,
Let it droop there, furled forever!
For the peoples hopes are dead

The understandable Tooth.

The temple at Yakadama, Japan, con-
tains wonderful relic in the shape of
q tooth which, tradition says, one of
the gods pulled from his jaw in order
to have u weapon with which to dis
patch an immense cobra. Years ago,
according to the tradition, after the
tooth had been worshiped by heather
devotees for centuries, change of SEN
timent took place il regard to the relic.
1t was declared to be fraud and was
accordingly ground TO powder and
then thrown into the river. But the
particles came together, so the priests
say, and again formed themselves into
q perfect tooth, which was found as
perfect as before the ordeal, quietly re-
posing in the bed of the river After
this miracle the temple of the sacred
TOOTH" which had also been destroyed
by the unbelievers, was rebuilt and the
tooth again enshrined as an object of
alteration. AT present it is kept in
gold box wrapped in films from the
sacred white spiders web. Nonbeliev-
ers in the power of the sacred indie
structible tooth say that it is simply
Inolar of some extinct species of gigan-
tic animal

An Enterpri.ine B.rri.ter.

An English barrister was once en-
gagged in a nautical case, in which It
appeared that a vessel had been ex-
posed to a very severe gale of wind
and had been thrown upon her beam
ends. The barrister, ignorant of nau-
teal matters, asked a seaman who
was In the witness box how 1t was
they did not lower the topmast, upon
which the witness said, with a sneer,
IF you knew as much of the sea as I
do you would know that this is not q
very easy matter" This incident led
the counsel TO turn his attention to the
subject, and he invented an apparatus
for lowering topmasts, for which he
obtained a patent and realized thereby
upward of 100000 by his invention

PACKING ORANGES.
The Why the Golden Fruit Is Han
died In California.


The things one sees in an orange
packing house are pleasure to the
eve, delightful to the oIfactories and,
when the local manager or overseer is
a generous and indulgent person, also
most excellent to the taste. The oper-
atoms are quiet and simple, but sys-
! tematic, and carried on by all possible
mechanical and automatic devices for
the saving of labor and effectiveness Of
, service.
at one end of long building the or
anges are unloaded from the vans. at
the other end. few minutes later, they
are snugly ensconced in railway car,
ready at the door to begin its long jour-
ney eastward. Between these points or
exit and entrance much has been done
in a quick and quiet way. First the or
| anges are gently dumped into recep-
tacle, whence they are carried on a belt
or moving platform to an upper part or
the building, where they pass slowly
along before group of workers, who
pick out the culls or imperfect fruit
and drop them into chutes for DISPOSE
ton elsewhere. The other oranges are
allowed to pass on down an incline to
the separators, in the meantime their
weight being taken and registered au-
tomatically as they move along.
The Separators consist of long
troughs with Sits or openings of va
rying widths at the bottom, through
which the oranges drop, according to
their sizes, as they are carried along,
thus separating themselves into the
three grades by which they are known
to the market. These grades are based
on size and are known as standard"
the smallest; ''choice," the next in rank,
and fancy" the largest of all.
AS they separate themselves and drop
from the moving belt the oranges run
down in golden streams by little side
chutes to a small canvas platform or
box, whence they are removed by the
nimble fingers Of the packers, usually
young women, wrapped in soft paper
and placed in boxes for final shipment.
An expert packer will fill from eighty
to ninety boxes per day. From these
busy young women the boxes are care
fully trundled TO a nearby bench or ia
BILE, where other employees deity nail
and close up the open side. One more
turn by other ready hands, and the fin
ished boxes are passed into car
drawn on a convenient siding, where,
carefully scored and piled to the roof,
they are seen no more until they reach
the great distributing centers in the
eastern markets.-La Sale A. Maynard

THE FIRST BOTTLES
THEY WE'RE UNDOUBTEDLY MADE OF
HIDES OF ANIMALS.
some of These Ancient RecepfacIes
s For Wine Were OF Gigantic Size.
Skin Bags Arc still Used In spain,
Portugal and Greece

The most ancient rcceptacles of wine
we're formed of animal hides. These
must be almost as old as wine itself,
Tor there certainly would have been
very, little use in expressing the juice
Of the grape and allowing it 10 ferment
unless there had been vessels of some
sort to contain il. Even if stored in
underground cisterns, as is still done
IN. southern Europe, bottles would be
required for carrying the liquid on
Journeys or even for consuming it at
home. Frequent mention is made OF
Buch bottles in ancient literature At II
feast in the liquid in the ..Iliad'' the
servants are described as bearing wine
upon their shoulders in bottle of goat
skin. from which tie goblets of the
guests were filed.
Throughout the interior of Spain
wine is still conveyed from place to
place in bottles made of goat or pig
skin identical i'll every respect with the
description given by Herodotus, says
the Chicago Chronicle. 1t will doubtless
be remembered that in the venta OH
tie Sierra Morena Don Quixote's room
was hung around with these cueroS
and that the doughty knight, installing
them for the myrmidons of Il wicked
enchanter, valiantly attacked them
with his sword until the room was
Inch deep in FED wine flowing from the
gashes made in the skins.
In Portugal and Greece these skin
bags are also used for the conveyance
of wine. as they are much more portal
bic than any other sort of vessel, es-
liz i'm r..in Al
where they have TO be borne by mules.
These leathern bottles have 4 peculiar
interest, for in make and material they
connect the viniculture of today with
its origin in the unknown past. They
are suryivals which have fiOated down
TO us on the stream of time unaffected
by centuries of age
n leathern bottle capable of holding
an armed man would seem today too
unwieldy for practical purposes, but
there is evidence that many of those
used by the Romans We're of still great
er dimensions. Among the ruins of
the ancient city of Pompeii n mural
picture has been discovered represent
ing an enormous skin bag OH wine

ty Roman politician would occasion
ally dole out wine wholesale to the
clients whose favor he courted, and
this picture probably portrays the con-
veyance on which the wine skin was
borne through the streets and the men
engaged in circulating it.

GRocERs PROTEST

Against the City Ordinance de Kero-
 sene.
 Section 622 of the revised city ordi- .nances is causing a great deal of trou- ble and annoyance among the dealers of kerosene oil in this city, and as result petitions, which are being signed by several hundred grocers, etc, are being circulated and will be presented to the board of aldermen at it's next meeting The petitions will ask for the reneal of the ordinance.
 After May 1, under the ordinance in question, no kerosene oil can be sold in any building which is occupied as a dwelling house.
 If this ordinance is enforced it would shut out nearly all the grocers in this city from selling kerosene oil, as most of the stores are under tenements or in buildings in which there are living apartments.

NEW OCEAN SERVICE.

Inaugurated by the Allan Line from
 Boston-Local Agents of the Com pany,
 John Carleton, travelling representa- tive of the Alan Line Steamship com pany, is in this city this week inter viewing the companys agents. The Allan line was the first to build steel steamships for transatlantic passenger l service. It also introduced the use of bilge keels on ocean steamers, con- trivance which checks the rolling of the vessel and goes far to reduce the chances of seasickness in ocean travel. In 1905 the crowning effort of the Allan { line was accomplished when 1t launch ed the palatial Victorian and Virginia1l, the first turbine engine vessels ever used for ocean service.
 MT. Carleton's visit is more intimately connected with the establishing of a moderate rate passenger service be- tween Boston and Glasgow, for which purpose the Allan line has detached from the mail service it's luxuriously appointed steamship Partisan, the whole of whose magnificent salooon ac- commodations and sumptuous cuisine will be at the service of second cabin passengers only and at second cabin rates The usual steerage accommoda- tions, however, will be retained for that class. The Parisian will make her first voyage from Boston in the moderate rate service June 8, and in conjunction with the company's steamship Lauren tion will said once fortnight through out the season. The low rates for such accommodation-$40 and upward
 will afford the opportunity of a Euro pean holiday to hundreds of citizens of Moderate means who have been hither- to deterred from that enjoyment by the high rates charged for the least accom- nodations, The Allan line agents in New Haven are: James H. Parish & Co, S6 Orange street; sweezey & Kel- sey. 102 Church street; Bishop X Co.,, 1S6 Orange street, and James Mustarde 94 Crown street.

Every cell intended for one person is occupied by at least four, and even the waiting rooms are crowded with suspects.

THE IRON AGE

On the Iron Trade and the United
 States Steel Company Outlook.
 The Iron Age to-day will say in re- viewing the iron and steel situation:
 The iron market drifts on and the week has brought few signs of any thing more stirring ahead, so far as new business is concerned. The coal situation undoubtedly is the immedi- ately restraining factor, and it covers for the time influences of a more per- manent significance. Preparations for a strike affecting at least three states in the bituminous territory go on, the coke market reflecting them in slight advance.
 But even with it's steel production at the unprecedented rate of 4S,00O tons of ingots a day, the Steel corporation is being pressed for more steel by one im- portant subsidiary. Specifications on contracts in all finished lines are at a record rate. In the lighter materials accumulations against spring demand are still impossible.

TO BUlLD IoE-MAKING PLANT.
Sites Discussed at Recent Meeting of
 Local Butchers.

LGCHl buEcneTst
 Owing to the fact that sufficient time had not been taken to notify all the meat dealers, the meeting of Tuesday afternoon in the Insurance building was not as largely attended as 1t was hoped and adjournment was taken. However matters were discussed infor- mally and all those present. about for ty in number, expressed themselves in favor of the new project. It was decl ded that, during the time before the next meeting, a stock subscription list will be signed by any of the dealers who care to take up the matter.
 During the informal meeting yester- day there were three propositions brought forward as to property which might be purchased as locations for the eompany's plant.
 The first of these was a plot of land one hundred and fifty by two hundred feet at Meadow and Water streets. The second was one thousand square feet on Eddy street. The third was on Mill River street, near Ferry street, about 15Ox225 feet. Of course nothing definite has been done about this mat ter. The subject of building an ice manufacturing plant was also infor- mally talked over, but nothing definite was done In this instance either.
 Benjamin Brown, the well known West Haven ice dealer, is managing the ice matter for the dealers interest ed in the new company He stated af- ter the meeting that he has ordered forty thousand tons of ice from Mas sachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine for himself and he will sell it this summer at the lowest possible price,
