 A petition which Is receiving many signatures is now being circulated among residents in the neighborhood of the Scovill Manufacturing Go, to be presented to the department of health, asking that steps be taken to abate the nuisance by, smoke from the factory chimneys. Some claim that the binding smoke and cinders have become such nuisance that owners of buildings frequently lose good tenants on account of the an- noyance and they have notion that the health authorities ought to be able to do something to help them out of the trouble. Similar com plaints were frequent few years ago at Holmes, Booth & Haydens, owing to the burning of refuse in the yard. The petitioners say the nuisance can be abated by building the chimneys higher.

Reflections of a Bachelor

When a woman isn't afraid of being
rained on it's sign it's her own COM

Any man can get reputation for
knowing more than he does If he will
keep his mouth shut.
It may be ungodly to lie to woman
about how beautiful she is, butts
mighty easy to be popular that way.
Either you tell people the truth
about themselves and are hated by

everybody else denounces you for a

China is Building Railroads

The first railroad in China was
built by an English company and ex-
tended from Shanghai to Wusung-
a distance of twelve miles, says DR..
w. A. P. Martin in the Worlds Work.
Shortly after it began running the
local government, by instructions from
Peldn, bought out the shareholders,
and we thought that the snort of the
iron horse would soon be heard in the
far interior. What was our surprise
to see the track torn up and the loco
motives dumped into the river, not by
mob, but by the mandarins.
The government recently bought up
the shares of our American company,
paying, 1t is said, no less than 300 per
cent on the capital. Instead of fol-
lowing the bigoted precedent Of thirty
years ago, they are pushing the con-
struction of a road from Hankow to

Canton. They know that what China
needs to bind her provinces together
and to mold her people into unity is
a system of railroads. At present she
has only 1900 miles in operation
less than one per cent of our own
railway mileage.
1t is safe to predict that in ten
years the railway mileage of China
will multiply more than tenfold. Tie
Chinese are convinced that railroads,
so far from being danger, are a
source of wealth as well as OF
strength. Instead of importing rails,
they are now making them In Hany-
