WHEN one undertakes to discuss the constitution
OF the United States he needs more learning than
many well. educated mon usually possess. There are
many statesmen-or alleged statesmen-who differ
widely to the meaning of many paragraphs in that

cell 'Gm You're TeeIin' fine.

There amt no use in kickin, FRIEND if things don't
come your way,
It does no good to boiler round an grumble night
an day;
The thing to do is to curb yer grief-cut yer little
whine,
An when they ask you how you are, jest say, I'm
feelin' fine"
They amt no man alive but what is booked to get
his slap,
They amt no man that walks but what from trou-
BILE gets his rap;
Go minge with the bunch old boy, where all the

An when they ask you how you are, jest say Pm

Yer heart may be jest Dustin with some real or

But if YOU smile the other folks amt very apt to

hymn to Beauty.

Amelia wears a rope of pearls,
A bracelet and diamond ring.
She far outshines the other girls
It amt of her I'm going to sing.
Phyllis is shy and So reserved,
You feel you have not known her
long.
Her graceful neck, SO archly curved,
Is not the burden of my song.
Katharine is naughty, passionate,
Her air is proud, her speech is terse.
For all care, Milady Kate
Can celebrate herself in verse;
Trixie's perfect little pet,
Ravishing, innocent, petite.
In view Of this, I much regret
I must pass on with Fastening feet.
Constantia has lovely face,
A lofty soul, the kindest heart.
I may in some convenient place
Immortalize her by my art.
But what are beauties rare to me?
Hence, hence, ye pompous, glitter
ing shows!
The world may hang! Ais vanity!
l have pimple on my nose.

How Careless!

Before fame came to him, Bernard Shaw wrote dramatic criticisms for The London Saturday Review. The following sample was preserved by the late Clyde Fitch as characteristic:
 'I am in a somewhat foolish position concerning @ play at the Opera Com fque, whither I was bidden this day week For some reason I was not sup piled with a. programme, so that I never learned the name If the play. At the end of the second act the play had advanced about as far as an or dinary dramatist would have brought it in five minutes after the first rising of the curtain; or. say, as far as Ibsen would have brought ten years before that event. Taking advantage of the -seond interval to stroll out into the Strand for little exercise, I un- fortunately forgot all about my busi- ness and actually reached home be- fore it occurred to me that had not seen the end of the play. Under these circumstances it would i'll become me to dogmatize on the merits of the work of it's performance. I can only offer the management my apologies."-Ev- erybody's.

AnnsaI to a Thief.

The other evening M. Alfred Ed wards lost a pocketbook containing a sum of 444 pounds as he was leaving the theater. This morning a letter from him appears in The Figaro ad- dressed to the presumed thief, who must be a most ungentlemaniy one in- deed if he does not answer it at once. The letter says:
 'In leaving the Antoine theater last night after the PapHlon had been given some very delft hand abstracted my pocketbook. containing ten bank notes of 1000 francs each and twelve others of 100 francs, with some photo graphs and papers that are important to me. If the person who appropri- ated my property is so well inspired as to read The Figaro I beg him to send me back the pocketbook and the pa pers which are of no use to him. To hope that he would also send back the bank notes in exchange for good re- ward would be exceeding the limits of optimism, and I do not dare to ex- pect it. But my papers-what use can they be to him m?''-PariS Correspond ence London Telegraph.

Ink the Romans Used.

The ancient Romans commonly wrote with a metal point (stylus) on wooden tablets covered with wax (taib- ulae)s but permanent records were written on parchment with a reed pen and liquid pigment, or ink.
 At Holtem. in Westphalia, near the site of the Aluso fortress, erected by Drusus in the year Il B. C., was re- gently found a bronze vessel contain ing a dried black mass. which Prof Kassner has decided to be Roman ink The mass was found to consist chiefly of soot and tannate of iron. It also contained smaller quantities of ferric oxide, copper oxide, clay, magnesia gypsum, phosporic acid, carbonic acid alkalies and sand. These probably represent chiefly accidental impurities which have found their way into the old inkstand. but some of them may be due to the chemical actions of the ink on the bronze vessel.
 The presence of an Aromatic sub- stance suggests that the ink was im- ported from Italy. where the use of the perfumed ink was common.-Scientific AmeriCan

TRADE SCHOOLS.
Their Utility Commended by Meehani.
 cal Engineer of New Haven Road.

w. R. Maurer, mechanical engineer on the New Haven road, has written ex-Gov. Rollin s: Woodruff on the New Haven, Conn, Jan. 14. 1909. Hon. R. S.Woodruff, New Haven, Conn Dear Sir; I have noticed in the dail-- papers of late that a proposition to establish trade schools in New Ha- ven was under discussion, and that you are interested in the subject. My knowledge of a school organized on incalculaIble benefit to city in which such school may be located and possibly a brief description of my ex- perienee in school of this kind may prove of some interest to you. For about 20 years, first as a pupil and afterward as an instructor, was connected with the Mechanics institute of Rochester, N. Y., a school conducted except that it is not strictly a trade school, but one whose aim is to fur nish persons engaged in industrial or domestic pursuits practical instruction which shall fit them to do their work with greater intelligence and effi- ciency.
 The institute was established 25 years ago, for the purpose of giving to mechanics and artisans who are employed during the day instruction in drawing. mathematics, physics chemistry, woodworking, forging. de- signing and such other branches as are most important for industrial pur-
 suits; but in order to extend it's ben
 ehts day courses were added soon after the school was organized. Special classes were arranged for children in the public schools, these classes meeting on Saturday. Hun dreds of children attend these classes each year.
 About 5000 persons annually avail themselves of the opportunity to take courses of instruction in this school. This does not mean the class enroll ment, which is two or thre. vfmes this
 number. as most students ent>r more than one class The evening classes alone number about 1000 different in- dividuals.
 In view of the experience of the city
 of Rochester, which, by the way. IS a city not so very much larger than New Haven, with an industrial school
 which has furnished instruction to some 50.000 of its people, 1 firmly believe that similar school estab-
 lished in the city of New Haven would
 meet with a like success.
 Very truly yours, w. R. MAURER,
 Mechanical Engineer. N. r., N. H. & H R. R.

Unsigned Will Not Admitted to Pro-
 bate by Bridgeport Court.

An unsigned will made by Giuseppe Petrino, a former Bridgeport bootblack who had amassed an estate amounting to about $9,00O, was presented last week for probate before Judge Nobbs in Bridgeport, but was refused adnlis- sion by the judge because of lack of signature. The testator declares T do not sign because I am nliterate."
 The will provided that the income from the property at No. 52 Lexington avenue should go to the widow for life or as long as she remained unmarried and then to be divided between three sons of the deceased. The sum of $500 is left to each of five daughters.
 Under the law of this state the will is invalid and the estate will be di- vided according to the law, one-third to the widow and the remaining two thirds between the eight children.
 Petrino conducted a bootblack stand at Main and Congress streets for many wears

Lynchings in 1909.

There were more lynchings In the United States in 1909 than in any other year since 1904. Its total of lynch ings is 70, according to the reports made to the Washington Herald, the victims numbering II whites and 59 negroes. These lynchings occurred in 12 states and one territory, New Mex leo, and. with the exception of the lynchings at Cairo. H., were all south of the Ohio river. The excuse for these lynchings was the usual one, or criminal assaults, or alleged assaults, on white women, or murders. In the south there were several double lynch ings, and Oklahoma furnished quad ruple lynching, with four cattlemen as victims. By states, the 70 lynchings can be classified as follows:
 Georgia II, Texas 10, Florida 8, Louisiana z. Mississippi ', Alabama 6. Oklahoma 5, Kentucky 4, South Caro- lima 3, Arkansas 3, Illinois 2. New Mexico 2, Missouri l and West Vir- ginia l.
 It is to be noted from the above that in 1909 there was not a single lynch ing in Virginia, North Carolina or Maryland. Such figures as these carry their own comment. They make 1t evident that If three southern states can have a year without lyncfrings it is possible for the others to have the same.-WaterbuTy American.

Remedy for Suicide.

It is possible to prevent almost any thing except an insane person killing himself. Some suicide" as many pa pers say, because the girl they love happens to love somebody else. Others seek death because that is the only way to escape going to prison. Some kill themselves just because they are in a hurry to see what is going on in the other world. Others cross to the un- discovered country out of pure "cussed- ness" One learned judge killed him self the other day because he forgot a speech.
 However, it is well to remark that suicides seem to be large or small in number according to the weather. It is said that there are more suicidnes in June than in any other month of the year. This is great discovery. If June makes suicides, evidently the thing to tackle is June. The elimina- tion of that month would be a real preventive. Still we do not think that the mere changing of the name of the month would do any good. for it may be that the weather instead of the name is responsible. The proper thing, it seems to US, is to get the rainmak- CTS together and cloud things up. In other words, make June dismal in- stead of a delightful month. That, we take it, would discourage many who were considering self destruction.- Charleston News and Courier.

PEDDLER's LICENSE
Not Renewed-So Samuel Goldman
 Paid $6 Fine and Costs.

Because he did not heed the warn ing given about not living up to the city ordinance requiring peddlers to take out a license before doing busi- ness in Putnam, Samuel Goldman, a dealer in dry goods and ladies' gar ments, was presented in the city court Monday afternoon. Goldman pleaded guilty and was given a nominal fine by Judge Fuller, which was $6 and actual costs of $1.60. Goldman paid and agreed to do more peddling until he renewed his license, for which he has now paid his additional SIP, the regular annual fee.
 On the witness stand, when given a chance to make a statement, Goldman said that he had offered to pay Captain Murray when he arrested him Monday morning. Captain Murray stated that he was acting under orders from the mayor. Goldman, who admitted know ing all about the peddlers' license ordi- nance and paid for one last year, has been peddling since December 31, when his old license expired, without renew ing, and this notwithstanding the warning that have been issued.
 Goldman is one of about a dozen peddlers who have not renewed, and Captain Murray stated in court Mon day that he believes they have some agreement to evade paying the requir- ed fee, if it is possible for them to do so.

Rescue Stations for Miners.

After the mine disaster at Cherry. H., it was expected that Governor Deneen would recommend legislation providing for safeguarding as far as possible, the lives of miners. His recommendations were received by the legislature last week. He urged the passage of laws for the establishment of rescue stations, providing that proper precautions against fires in mines be observed and the revision of the laws governing the inspection of mines. A bill providing for the estaib- lishment of rescue stations at LaSalle, Springfield and Marion was introduced in the senate on the day the goVer- nor's recommendations were received. Another bill, also favored by the exec utive, is suggested by the state mining commission. This provides for the es- ta.bLshment of miners and mechanics institutes for the technical education of miners. This sort of education seems to have been neglected in Illi- nois. for the commissioners say that thousands of men come to the state every year from the agricultural dis tricts of Europe, and these men, though they have no knowledge of mining, go to work in the mines." The employment in dangerous work-of men wholly ignorant of that work, of course invites such disasters as the one at Cherry. If Governor Deneen's recom- mendations are favorably acted upon by the legislature, fewer such men will be employed in Illinois in the future.- Hartford Courant.

Money Wasted in Maoadam.

President F. S. Luther of Trinity college, who is also a state senator, has written letter to the New Ha- ven Register in which he states that it seems to him that the money expended in the building of macadam roads is largely wasted, for the reason that as now constructed they fail to stand automobile traffic. He says that he would prefer to see the state "call a halt until something is devised that will meet the latest condition" He does not believe that a larger commis- sion would be any more satisfactory than single headed one, but he adds: Everything depends upon the engi- neering skill and experience and the administrative ability of the head."- Ansonia Sentinel

 56 IA Acres

Last week was recorded with the Wallingford town clerk the purchase oi 56 IA acres of land for farming pur- poses by the New Haven County Anti Tuberculosis association from Julia DeForest Pierce of Bridgeport. This land is situated near the Gaylord san itarium and will prove an acquisition the farm heretofore consisting of some 200 acres. The original tract of the old Gaylord place comprised 239 acres of woodland and pasture la.nd located on a high plateau. Last fall there were purchased 65 acres more, thus making BOA. The site is in the highest or Cook Hill. About 20 acres are under cultivation and the product is used for the patients of the sanitarium. The farm supplies certified milk for the sanitarium from a dairy herd of 20 tuberculin tested cows and also keeps the sanitarium provided with a variety of fruits apd vegetables in season.

Colonel uIIman's Preferences.

Colonel UIlman of New Haven is said to favor sending Senator Bulkeley back to Washington for another term. The correspondent who makes this af- firmation also tells the truth when he says: we know all about, Colonel UIIman's political power and his strength in the local field, but we also know that George P. Mclean has a tremendous backing and a lot of fine men, prominent ones, too, prefer him for senator to Senator Bulkeley." If the choice between the two were to be made by a direct vote of&so many of the voters as live in the Naugatuck valley. Senator Bulkeley, we believe. would fare hard; but as matters of this kind are usually manipulated by political managers. the result is wholly indeterminate at this writing.-Anso- mia Sentinel.
