Not TO BE Baked.

A comparison made by an old car
p0nter twenty years ago may be ap-
piled In a much wider sense than he
had in mind. He was speaking of two
boys, brothers, who had been sent to
him to learn the trade. They were
bright boys, and their father, In telling
the carpenter Of his pleasure at their
progress in their work, said he could
not see but one had done just as well
az the other.
"Um-m!" said the carpenter. 81 pre-
sumo to say their work looks about Of
a piece. but I'll tell you the difference
betwixt those two boys. You give
I'D just the right tools. and he'll do
q real good Job. but Cy, If he hasn't
got what he needs, he'll make his OWE
tools and say nothing about IT,
IF l We're cast on.>a desert island
ana wanted box opened, should
know ther'd BE no use asking Ed to do
It without \ could point him out ham,

Sbut, Cyr' added the old carpenter
with a snap OF his fingers. 1.-THE lack Of
q hammer wouldn't stump that boy.
He'd have something rugged up and
that box opened II there was any open

ahead OF Ed all his life"
Twenty years have proved the truth
of the words. for while the boy who
made his own tools" is rich his broth

''COme along and show me It." he
said.

boy; and he began a hasty retreat.
There were cattle In the field, but
the professor took no heed Of them
until a terrible roar attracted his at
tention. and he saw a fierce bull adj
vancing to greet him. 1t was a near
thing, but the professor got safely out
OF the field. On the other side of the
hedge he surprised his landlady's son.

the reporters who had vainly besleged
the front door for the last hour or so.
Then Mrs Craven took to her bed
and vowed that no daughter of hers
should ever marry into the British mo-
bility, while Carver Craven hurried
down 10 the police station to ask that
general alarm be sent out
Nothing came OF this action, and aft

had assured him that things would
turn out all right and had told him
not to worry. but her long silence ar
Rued that she had not been able to

The New Haven railroad recently
placed rail locking device on the new
four tracked drawbridge over the Hou-
satonic river at Naugatuck Junction
that will render impossible the recur-
renee of an accident similar to that ON
the Atlantic City drawbridge last year,
says the New York Times.
This accident caused the experts
much study, and the new device is the
outcome. The rails Of tlae new draw
bridge instead Of meeting with blunt
ends overlap. each other fully foot
aGd-a haff, allowing the car wheels to
run over them smoothly and without
the jar produced by the old time meth
cd. But the chief measure of safety Is
that there is means of locking the
two ends of the rails by the use of
bolt or plunger. On each rail is hole,
and when the two rails are In their
proper position the towerman who
guards the block In which the bridge
Is situated by movement of lever
drives the bolt through the two holes,
which firmly fastens the rails in
rigid and perfect alignment.
BY means of a dial right at hand the
towerman can tell IL the bolt has made
the movement necessary to lock the
rails. Thus absolute safety is assured
before the signal is given for the train
to cross.

FOOLISH EXTRAVAGANCE.

La no other country do the peo-
pie spend so much money for
clothing, shelter and food as in
America. But do they get their
moneys worth? Do they under
stand the abysmal difference be-
tween comfort and luxury? More
food is cooked than can be eaten
with comfort and it tempts to
over feeding and results in a pre-
posterous condition in the kitch-
on.
Fine houses, costly appearing
dress, furniture that is, or looks
as if it were, made for palace,
these are luxuries which, If they
do not give comfort, are worthless.
And if they do produce discom-
fort, as they usually do, then
wherein does their possession diff
fer from that of the savage with a
sharks tooth proudly thrust
through his nose? The ransom of
a king, if not intelligently spent
will not buy comfort. The small
income spent by a woman who has
brains enough to realize that to
be a good housekeeper Is greater
feat than to manage a railway
system, will produce results that
will fill the tenants of palace
with longing.
