Many a young man has had q similer

Is not the same when one buys silk

ADVICE FROM MEN AT THE TOP.

The essential thing for a young
man to cultivate who Is DESTROYS OF
success In the business world are mu.
sic. a love of poetry. modern Ian.
guages and thorough knowledge of
the technique of the business he ex.
poets to follow. That is what the
graduates OF the Montclair Academy
were told by William B. Dickson. the
second vice president of the United
States Steel Corporation. at the COM
mencement exercises OF that school.
Mr.. Dickson's talk was brief one,
but IL was full OF practical sugges-
tions. He advised the young men who
were about to enter college not to
spread out too much, but to go deep
into the subjects they considered. In
other words, he would have them elm
mate non essentials and be earnest In
their pursuit of essentials. That mu-
sic and poetry should be placed first
In the list OF these essentials by a
successful man OF large business in
terests will surprise some people, but
the fact Is that some of the greatest
leaders In this era Of combinations of
all branches are lovers OF these arts.
They are not men OF visions-nOt VI
sionary, but dreamers OF dreams that
are prophetic, Much OF their inspira'
ton for the gigantic enterprises In
which they have engaged has come
from their education In music and

 Enoch P.

He also clear ly defined the difference between the church and the ecclesiastical body, the one being an organization for the pro motion of the spiritual affairs of the individual, the other a business organ iAation with specific duties to per form, such as hiring and paying for the minister, for coal and light and the many expenses of the society.

EQUIPMENT FOR LONG JOURNEY
 IN THE AIR
What A. Holland Forbes Will Garry In Balloon Car On Flight Which May End In Labrador.

A. Holland Forhes, of Fairfield, the noted amateur aeronaut, is ; getting ready for the flight he will make on apolis race. His new balloon, which embodies some refinementS of con struction not heretofore attempted, is receiving careful attention. in order that it may have the least amount of weight for the necessary strength. InaSmuch as it is expected that the general movement of the race will be toward Labrador, and as the air craft must travel SIP miles to reach the United States record and 1902 to reach the foreign record, the equipment of the balloon is a matter of more con- Cern than usual. This is what MT. Forbes will carry when the race starts: First comes the food supply, which will consist of six quarts of self heat ing soup, eight thermo bottles con- taining hot soups, representing a sup ply for the first A hours; black cof- fee. Is quarts water, two dozen raw eggs, broiled chickens. crackers. cheese, dried pemmican, condensed meat tables, like those much used abroad, and two loaves of bread.
 Otherwise there will be matches in sealed cases, a water anchor, life pre- servers, two shot guns with a hundred rounds of ammunition, maps of every State in the Union east of the Mississ- ippi river, and maps of Canada; hatchet, fishing lines, can opener, cork screw, three blankets, spoons and 1ron- w8re cups.
 The self heating soup is an ingenious contrivance by which the can contain ing the soup is held within can con taining lime. When water is added to the lime much heat is generated.

CASTRO TRANSFERS HIS FORTUNE
 TO SPAIN
Deposed President of Venezuela Has Bought a Residence in the Capital of the Canary Islands aud Will Make Future Home There.
Special from United Press.)


 Santander. Spain, May 11.-Vene- zuela has seen the last of Cipriano Castro. her deposed president. Castro, according to a well founded report to- day. has bought a, residence in Santa Cruz De Teneriffe, the capital of the Canary Islands and will make his flu ture> home there. Castro and his wife are still in Santander but are prepar- ing to leave shortly for Teneriffe. When Castro came here recently from Paris. it was with the announced de- termination of trying to reach Vene- zuela by means of a tramp steamer. He hoped that he might slip back un- noticed to the country that robbed him of his power and lead a successful re- volt against the Gomez regime. His friends here. however, earnestly ad- vised him that such a course would not only prove a fiat failure but that it would probably result in his execu- tion. Castro was hard to dissuade but he was eventually made to see the hopelessness of trying to re-establish himself in Venezuela. Until France turned against Castro and ordered him from it's possessions the former execu- tive preferred French territory for his home if he had to remain an exile. He is now bitterly assailing France and has transferred his fortune to Spain.
 It is understood that Castro will buy a large estate in Teneriffe and engage in farming.

 Simla. May 1.-The Viceroy. Lord Minto, and his wife. Lady Minto, are under treatment of Pasteur physicians as the result of an experience with a mad dog. Their condition is way serious, they not having been bitten badly. The action taken is merely pre- cautionary.
 The Viceroy and wife were driving when their pet dog which had jumped from the carriage got into a fight with another canine. The coachman and footman tried to save the dog but both were bitten and the pet badly mangled before the Viceroy and his wife came to the rescue and between the four they managed to kill the street dog. Then the Minto dog was picked up and both the Viceroy and wife assisted in bathing its wounds and otherwise caring for it. It deve1- oped symptoms of rabies, however. and had to be killed while Lord and Lady Minto and the two servants, both of whom were bitten. are now being treated by specialists

 NORMAL SCHOOL

Editor Bridgeport Farmer:-
 Sir-There are many persons in the city who believe that the Board of Education might come in for an inves tigation, and incidentally the Training School have sharp inquiry-by disin- terested authority-as to its methods, curriculum and discipline. Murinurs of dissatisfaction are heard from many sources that too little attention is paid to discipline. that Supt. Deane ac- krowledges he cannot send Normal girls into the higher grades to sub stitute owing to their lack of discip- line. or is it to make room for outsid- CTS? That too much time is wasted over the study of a flower the life of caterpillar to the neglect of more important needs. All these and many more complaints are heard, and it would seem as if the committee on schools might interest themselves in behalf of the people whose representa- tives they are. to show greater inter est into the inner workings of this in StitutiOn. Better abolish it, one citizen remarked, If it is to be run in the interests of the few, rather than for the progress end betterment of all cur students.
