ROAD SHOWING WHY.
Clerks Busy Proving Mood of Freight Raise to Interstate Commerce Com mission.

The clerks of the freight auditing and disbursement departments of the New Haven road are busy people these warm nights trying to show the com on the New Haven road. The lights in the Yellow building. New Haven, have been burning brightly every night for the past week until long after 10 o'clock and will continue to do so un- til about the middle of next month
 The company's increase on passenger rates over the system has been accept ed by the interstate commerce com mission without any objection to speak of. but the petition filed with the in- terstate commission to increase the rates on freight has been held up, and from appearances it will be some time before the freight rates are raised, it they are raised at all. In order to raise the rates the road must show the commissioners that it costs more to keep things rolling than it did in past years. While in the freight depart ment they are comparing the old and proposed new rates on freight, to get the new figures for the company. the disbursement department is hard at work getting ready their statement of what it costs to keep things rolling.
 It is the roads plan to compare the amounts of their bills with those of the past four or five years and in this way show the interstate commerce commission the high price of material at present and that the road is just in raising the rates on freight

MANY QUEER AIDS TO MEMORY.
Simple Devices Resorted to by People
 Who Can't Remember.

Many and varied are the methods to which busy men have recourse in order to keep their memory peeled" Very simple fs the mnemonical sys- tenn of a well-known journalist, who merely ties a small piece of ribbon round his walking stick. Many a benedict has a penchant for tying his handkerchief into a series of knots to remind him of the numerous little do- nestle duties he has faithfully prom ised to perform during the day.
 A very successful plan is that of a shrewd business man, who has re- course to the use of pepper or snuff to jog his memory. A liberal dose spread over his handkerchief greets his olfactory nerves whenever he eK- tracts it from his pocket, and. as he himself says, that reminds me"
 Very effective is the method adopt ed by some astute people who place their finger rings on their keyring. By this means they are not only remind ed of something by the absence of their rings from their hands but every time they use their keys the fact is forced upon their attention. There is one old government clerk who is an amusement to all the juniors. When he has any matter of urgent impor- tance to attend to in the morning he invariably ties two of his fingers to- gether with h small piece of red tape.

coNNEcTrcuT,s PINS.
"Reminiscences Brought Forth by New Pin Factory Starting in Putnam.

From the Hartford Times:
 Putnam has a new industry a pin
 factory, built by a concern from Low
 ell, Mass. which sought no subscrfp- tion to it's stock and no subsidy of any kind was induced to locate there be- cause of the general advantages of fered. This is naturally a source of great local satisfaction. The new fac tory has producer, gas and gas en- zine power plant of its own and is an up-to-date establishment in every re- spect.
 The first pin-makihg machine was invented by doctor in Bellevue hos pital, New York city, in 1881, but the company which was organized to util- ize the invention moved to Derby in this state six years later, and Con necticut has ever since been known as the pin making headquarters of the world. Evidently the concern which started it's business in Lowell did not feel at home on the banks of the Mer- rimac. It had to move over across the line that separates us from Massachu- setts in order to get into the right pin making and pin-sticking atmosphere.
 Samuel Slocum's name is more prom inent than that of anybody else except the Bellevue doctors in connection with the pin business because he in vented the first pins sticking ma chine, which was quite as important as the pin making machine because in order to sell pins to a woman it is abso- luteIy necessary to hand them to her in such a way that the points do not get in the ends of her fingers. Sam did that back in 1s41. and the pin industry has been picking up ever since.
 Uncle Sam will count the number of pins that are made in the United States this year and tell us some months hence how much progress we have made since 1900 when the product II early all in Connecticut ia ctories re- 50,167,1S7 gross, valued at SS9S,054. It was kind of the little father" at Washington to be specific in his inquiries and to ascertain for us that all these pins were common or toilet pins-the kind abhorred by all infants and barefooted boys-eXcept O40.2s4 gross safety pins and 1,1S9,- 104 gross hairpins. This year, we sup pose, there will be count of hat pins too. Why not, when one woman's hot (out of how many millions? ? often contains half a dozen of them

CRITICISM OF "PRAYINo MAN."
Great Preacher Saw Little Virtue M
 Certain Forms of Appeal.

When men begin their prayers with "Oh, thou omnipetent, omniscient, om- nf-present, aIl-seeing, eyer-1iving, blessed potentate, Lord God Jehovah" I should think they would take breath. Think of man in his family, hurried for his breakfast, praying in such a straini He has a note coming due, and it is going to be paid to-day, and he feels bueyant; and he goes down on his knees like a cricket on the hearth and piles ap these majestically moving phrases about God. Then he goes on to say that he is sinner; he is proud to say that he is a sinner. Then he asks for his daily bread. He has it; and he can always ask for it when he has it. Then he jumps up and goes over to the city. He comes back at night and goes through a similar wordy form of evening pray ers;" and he is called "a praying man" A praying man? I might as we'll call myself an ornithologist be- cause I eat a chicken once in a while for dinner.-Henry Ward Bescher.

Who Are Unfit?

UnquestionabIy there are maria ges which are upfit from q physical point of view; but it may be doubted if any science of "eugenics' though promoted by a national committee of eminence can decide with absolute certainty who are unfit to marry and who are fit It will not do to settle so delicate a question wholly by heredity; that principle has been decidedly over worked, and there are many inteHi- gent persons who believe that a mans character is not to be determined sole Iy by his ancestry. Dr. David Starr Jordan. the chairman of tke committee referred to, holds that all Kinds of unfitness might be barred by law Tn the case of paupers criminals and the insane. this means of prevention would be easily workable. Beyond these limits it would be a tyranuical inter ference with personal liberty.

The Auctloneers Houru,ass.

An auctioneer of Philadelphia col lects all sorts of objects pertaining to his ancient calling. He has, among other things, an interesting set of auc- tioneer's hourglasses.
 The auctioneer, a century or so ago, concluded sale, not by saying "Go- g-going-gone." and rapping the counter with his hammer, but it was his better method to turn up free running glass toward the end of the bidding, and to end the sale irrevoca- ply when the sands ran out. This saved confusion and dispute.
 The auctioneer's glasses in the Philadelphia collection are pictur- esque. One is of tortoise shell and mother of pearl. Another is of amber and gold. A third is of teak and ivory.

The greatest single achievement in the way of good roads in the country the past six months has been the work of the news editor of the Des Moines Capital, J. w. Eichinger, who has ar gued, exhorted commanded and dem onstrated to 40 counties in that state that dragging the roads by drag of timbers or two-inch hardwood blanks with dleats nailed across the top was the great thing for travel in this state. He has reused the inhabitants of 70 counties until they have in this way built two roads east and west across the state from river to river, and one north and south. One result is an enormous jump in the sale of automo- biles.-BosIon Record.
