INTERESTING CORRESPONDENTS

The Bulletin takes pleasure in call sing attention to a correspondence be- tween the president and secretary of the Connecticut Editorial association and President Charles s. Mellen of the New York, New Haven & Hart ford railroad upon the proposed pas sage of a public utilities bill, which throws considerable light upon the matter from the corpora ton point of view. President Mellen states the cSse in way which meets public appro- bation when he says:
 T frankly avow that I am not op- posed to any legislation which, after such consideration. may seem to be necessary for the correction of any real abuses. actual or threa tened I believe that any such legislation which is really necessary would benefit the railroad as much as the public. I have no doubt that the Ell1ins law for bidding rebates to shippers has bene- ited the railroads of this country quite as much as it has the business world in general. I believe that the main advantage which has accrued to the public from federal legislation with regard to railroads. has accrued from the Elkins act, efficiently enforced by the interstate commerce commission, rather than by the exercise of any of the drastic powers given to the com mission by the interstate commerce act In so far as the interstste com merce commission confines it's activi- ties to the correcting of abuses in SC, far will it's influence be beneficial. In so far as it extends its activities be- yond that sphere. it will, in my judg ment, create misdeeds far outweighing any good it may seek to accom- plish.' ?
 Fl fG 1 marked the utterances of President MeIlen more than another, it is his perfect frankness. He wants fair play and certainly the corporation he rep resents, like all other corporations, Is entitled to it.

His affection for New Haven was deep seated He was especially interested in our park syS- tenn and, if we are not mistaken. it was his afectionate study of East Rock that made it the beautiful park 1t has become Then. too, by the re- Enement of his literary work he brought honor and fame to New Ha- ven At the time of the Yale bicen- tsnnial no one event awaken ned more interest than his delightful essay de- livered in Woodbridge hall Certainly no figure in the celebration provoked more tender emotions among the many distinguished men present His Rev cries of Bachelor has been printed in every live language Should a shelf in the proposed library be given up to the copies of this work, in the diff ferent languages. which are to be found in his home library, distinctly unique contribution to the literature of his generation would be constantly on display
 We hope the committee will sue ceed in raising the money needed to carry out the attractive plan. Among the subscribers we shall expect to see the names of many New Haveners. An Tx Marvel library within the limits of the town of New Haven would be an additional reason why strangers should visit us. By all means give the movement encourag cement

DEPRECIATED LAND,

Bulletin No. 64 of the agricultural department is of more than ordinary interest to men who desire to obtain good farms for less than they are worth
 The agricultural department calls attention to the fact that exhausted soil is soil of promise in the hands of intelligent farmers. While there is a great clamor concerning opportunities for real estate investment in the north west and south. Bulletin No Sixty-four calls attention to the farms in nine teen southern New York hin counties as offering good openings for ener- getic young men who are anxious to secure cheap land. These lands have appreciated in value from 9 to 75 per cent. The department believes that by modern scientific methods these lands can be made productive again and prove a splendid investment
 "Once good soil conditions are re- stored" says the bulletin, the land is we'll adapted to the keeping of live stock. particularly sheep raising; to general farming, especially hay and potatoes, and to the growing of cer- tain kinds of fruit. They can be pur- chased cheap. they respond readily to treatment, they are near to the great markets, and they are certain to in crease in value"
 There are just such opportunities here in eastern Connecticut for men who know their business and are not afraid of work.

Storage Battery Treatment.

No car owner. if he values his own comfort, should be without one or two lspare accumulators- And, what is more, he should see that they are kept carry two sets of accumulators con- nected up to a two-Way switch marked No. I and No. ?. respectively, so that the driver may always know off which set he is firing. The spare set should be switched in from time to time just to- encourage them; but TO accumulator should be allowed to stand for more than a fortnight without having cur rent drawn from it. Also. any accumu- lator left stanGfng for any length of time should have the terminals srneared with a little Vaseline. which will prevent Suplhating and difficulty in getting the terminal screws undone when the accumulation is required
 Wherever the accumlators are carried,
 the cases in which they are set should
 have firm and secure lodgment. The
 best way to set them is in a wooden case made with tongue springs project
 ing inward, which when the accunlla-
 tor case is thrust down into it's ;inld-
 ing box, will press against it. and hold it firmly without shock. If sim lar springs are set in the floor of the ease, the accumulators will seldom. if ever. suffer from shorting due to the paste shaking down.-MotOr Print

Takinn Exercise.

The United States army has discov- cred that the plan of having officer do 90 miles on horseback once a year, to. show that he is in good condition, is not enough. Daily exercise is need ed, and this is now required.
 This is true of all. Many man and woman is taking more exercise just now than at any time of the year. In town or out, there is more walking, rowing, baseball, tennis and open air life than in any months. But for this many people could not stand the strain of vacation.
 Having come back people begin going down hill physically in the fall and by next May have put on the pounds they lost and grown nabby. pasty, un-aired and without either viz or or endurance. This does nothing. Daily exercise is the one path to health. The people who walk are moving near CT the grave every day of their lives just as much as those who ride but they will not get there so soon- Daily exercise is a matter of will and habit not of apparatus or opportunity. Any man or woman with a room and an open window and a square yard of space can get the exercise needed to keep in condition in twenty or thirty minutes a day, and everyone wa stes more than that. A walk daily means health and fresh air. Philadelphia Press.

 It is quite possible to find her in any place where children are born, where men and women work and die.
 Men have died bravely, but many women have seen the last hour come with just as brave spirit, just as much fo-titude any man.
 This Woman's children were all dead. Two weeks since, her old hus- band had passed away He had never been able to carry life insurance or protection of any other desciption- The cost was too high for his small earn ings as a day laborer.
 She was alone in a small room, and now she faced death, due partly to want-starvation. She was 70 years old.
 She was not afraid to die. She was not afraid of the long journey. She had been good mother. Yet she was asking for help, the first time in her life
 Lying on a poorly equipped but clean bed. her wrinkled old face had a look of horror, and she prayed:
 T thank thee. Father. for having led me along good path. l thank thee for my long life. the beauties of your

the blocking and the lower flange of the frame at the rear angle and the side of the spring first to be operated upon. Then screw up the jack until the driving wheel tire is raised clear ef the ground. This will cause the weight of the wheel and half the axle to depend from the body through the spring and the leaves will probably separate from each other sufficiently to permit of oil being squirted between them The effect of the greasing as first or the oiling as last described will greatly add to the docility of the springs. making the car more comfort able and will certainly cure the squeaking which so keenIy annoys the motorist The best lubricant for car riage springs is ordinary lead paint with raw Hnseed oil. and about 10 per cent. of graphite well mixed into the paint This lubricant lasts longer than any but the best motor or axle grease. in fact. it will generally outlast two or three applications of ordinary grea ase.-Motor Print
 The Automobile to Blame.
 As showing the proportion of sum- mer tourists in New Hampshire who are now independent of the railroads for transportation, one of our exchanS- es notes that of fifty-nine departures from the Mount Washington house at Breton Woods on one day recently not one went by train and of the sev- enty-seven arrivals at the hotel on the same day hfty-eight came by au- tomobile. In this connection 1t is ln- teresting to note that one or the nu- merous bond saIesmen who covers New Hampshire selling securities to banks and well to do individuals planes the automobiles for a dull market for his wares. He estimates that there are now nearly five thousand motor cars owned in the Granite state, and reck- ons that on the average they cost their owners $1,000 each, or a total in vestment of New Hampshire money in gasoline buggies amounting to five million dollars. Naturally the invest ment of five million dollars of the sur plus cash of a community with the moderate wealth of New Hampshire in pleasure vehicles is bound to curtail the cash available for investment in securities and it is not so very sur prising that N*he bond market is dull -Laconia Democrat.

 Ease the weary load.

 Toward the goal we seek;
 Then refreshed, we travel on
 For another week.-Exchange
 It has come again-the weekend Another of the periods which divide our time, less artificial than the rest because it really does stand for a boundary that is tangible, is at hand Another week has been reeled off.
 Do you wonder where the weeks go Do they seem short and shorter Then the chances are that you are busy that you have found your work Perhaps it indicates that you are toe busy. too rushed. living too fast. They ought not to move on so fast that you can't properly assimiliate and improve them.
 Do they drag? Are you in the con dition of looking both ways for Sun day?" Then you are either not busy enough or you haven't found your right work or perchance you have the bookworm. Weeks ought not tC drag: they ought to move just fast enough.
 What does the week mean tc you2 Does it mean that tonight, and tomorrow. and tomorrow night you will really rest and get braced to bet ter tackle the rush next week. Are your Mondays better days because ot the interval doesn't rest you. then you might as well not have it.

Man mith a Vision.

There lis q sort of man who walks surely, yet with eyes that see above the plain- He is practical and yet ideal. He deals with the real things of life as intelligently a s any man. And yet he has eyes to see a vision which merely practical eyes don't see. Because he sees the things which are even more clearly than those whose night dWells alone upon them. he sees things which are not, and from them forms his vis- ion of what shall be- He rises in spir- it's to heights where open before him vistas hidden from those upon the plain, and he is inspired and enlight- ered.
 He is not selfish this man of wider view He tells his vision He may be a. prea and the many hear him as a matter of course. They expect high thoughts from him, but they heed them little. He may be common man in the opinion Of other men, who tries as a common man to tell his fellows what he has seen. Likely enough they say among themselves Whence hath this man these things2'' and either pass unloading or openly scon.
