PUBLICITY IN NEW ENGLAND.

New England is receiving treatment conducive to it's betterment in the way of publicity of the right kind. The people are being told of the new pos abilities for enterprise, and their faith in the section as a promising field for profitable enterprise is mounting.
 We are being told what can be done in the way of money-making in agri- culture and we are referred to speci- fic examples. We are assured, by coldly-figured reports of actual accom- plishment, that great dividends may be made in apple-raising, in raising peaches and plumS, in potato-ra1Sing, in sheep-raising, in hayraising, in small fruits, in gardening, in stock farming, in hog-raising, in poultry raising, in timber-growing, and in oth- CT specialization in crops.
 In many of these lines we know there is being more money made than IS made in manufacturing-a much larg- CT percentage of profit and smaller percentage of risk. And we also know that in many lines of manufacturing the new opportunities that have open ed for New England are being utilized with great profit.
 This knowledge is making it evident to the observing that New England Is just looking through the door to a wonderfully bright future. We can see that trade and manufacturing and agricultural tendencies are gathering a momentum which is carrying us swiftly and surely toward an indus trial future which will double and treble and quadruple our output or staples.
 It is not simply hope; it is cold call culation based upon actual progress, and the Sordid observance of tenden- cies manifested in terms of perform ance. We are now doing those things

WOMEN AND WALL STREET

Women speculators have a habit of giving to brokers orders with a string attached to them" says a writ CT in the May Strand. A woman who owned some bank stock asked a broker to sell 1t at two hundred and fifty dollars if he thought she could not get any more for 1t. The mar ket in this stock had been inactive for months, and two hundred and fifty dollars was the highest price ev- CT recorded for it. The next day the broker had a chance to sell the stock at two hundred and fifty dol lars. It so happened that on the same day a lively demand for this bank stock developed, and before the day was over 1t was selling at three hundred dollars. The broker wrote to his woman customer that he had sold her stock for two hundred and fifty dollars a share, and would she send her certificate to him for deIiv- cry to the purchaser. She refused to deliver the stock.
 "You ought to have known better than to sell it for two hundred and fifty dollars" she remonStrated "I am going to sell it to-day myself for three hundred dollars"
 It was not until the broker appeal ed to the courts that he succeeded in getting the stock from the woman
 Here is another sample of the way women play the market. A woman customer of a Wall Street brokera ge house telephoned the manager one daly:
 How is Pennsylvania ?''
 ''It's selling at one hundred and thirty two.'
 Well, I wish you would sell my fifty shares at one hundred and thir- ty-two and a half. But if it looks strong at one hundred and thirty-two and a half, don't sell it.'
 When Pennsylvania touchHd one hundred and thirty-two and a half, it did not look unusually strong, and the broker sold the woman's shares. Later in the day she telephoned:
 How is Pennsylvania now?"
 Its up to one hundred and tllir- ty-four.'
 Then don't sell mine until it touch es one hundred and thirty-f1ve.''
 But I've already sold it at one hundred and thirty-two and a haif D
 How stupid of you! I told you not to sell if 1t was strong.''
 But it wasn't very strong at that time''
 Tt must have been. or it wouldn't have gone up. I'm going to take my account out of your office.o
 The broker gave long grateful sigh.
 Therefore, the dictim of Wall St. is that women are good winners but bad losers. It is difficult to req son about money and business with an angry or weeping woman. Her view of Wall Street and all its works suddenly becomes entirely emotional and only a broker with an infinite

GERMANY's INDUSTRIAL POLICY

Nothing common to man is foreign to nations. The story of the prodi- gal son applies to families as well as to communities Thus in every people there is a natural inclination to prodigality. but not every nation has a benevolent father ready to kill a fatted calf, if waste and destruc- tion have depleted it's natural inheri- tance. Germany is not a rich mans heiress. She must prepare her chi1- dren for diversity, not for prosperity must fit them for the lean years which are near, not for the fat years that are promised in the future. Thus and thus only will they be able to conquer the racking times which are approaching.
 Hence to the prime rule of strate- g1c expedlency dominating our na- tional households, is coupled the oth- CT no less important consideration of national economy, urging upon au- thorit1es the supreme duty of guard ing the country's irreplaceable resour- ces, material and other, which, join ed with the subtle factor of civic vir-- tue, are the pillars of every com monwealth. Having to support six ty-five million active people on a ter- ritory four-ffths the size of Texas, and being fully aware of our geo. graphical limitation, of the precar- iousness of our central situation, of the scarcity of raw materials at our avail, of our dependence for certain supplies on foreign markets, and of the fact that in times of war they will be cut off by our adversaries- scientific administration and rational utilization of materials, the enamel patton from foreign support, the de- velopment of high grade industries and agriculture, and the exchange of grey matter for raw matter, are nat ural correctives of our limited oppor- tunities and logical directives for the industrial and commercial policy of the Empire.
 Leaving aside the political argu- ment and speaking more particularly of the attitude of the State, the pres ent policy of Germany can be short Iy defined as one of mutual part nership or cooperative nationalism, the State and it's government attend ing to the more general and ideal and the private individual to the more special and material ends of the national business. In spite of Democracy pressing from without and of evolutionary philosophy press ing from within, there is a growing tendency on the part of the masses to rely on the State for support and inspiration. making the national gov ernment both co-active and cores ponsible for their welfare. And ev- en among conservative statesm en, the leaning, to-day is far more in the di- rection of State socialism than in the direction of Democracy-Dr Franz Erich Junge-Hermsdorf, in The Engineering Magazine for March

Rate Kept Up
 By New Haven
Regular 2 Per Gent. Quarterly Dividend Declared at May
 Meeting

New York, May 19-The cut in the dividend of the Boston and Maine railroad did not forecast any contrac- tion on the part of the New Haven and that President Mellen's assurance was perfectly correct was made man. -ifest here yesterday when at the May meeting of the directors at Grand Central station the regular quarterly dividend of per cent was declared. The dividend is payable June 30 to stockholders of record of June 15. In addition a quarterly dividend of s1.50 was declared on three-quarters paid stock under the same conditions.
 When the discussion of the work on the big new passenger station at New Haven came up it was stated that work would probably be commenced during the coming summer months.
 Francis T. Maxwell, the Rockville manufacturer and Edward Milligan of Hartford were formally elected new directors of the road. They succeed Treasurer A. S. May and Arthur B. Clarke, appointed temporarily some time ago.
 No statement as to the financial condition of the road was made pub lie as a result of the meeting. It is expected 1t was said, that the roads summer passenger business this year, especially now that it has been al- lied with the Boston and Maine, will be swelled accordingly.
 There was a long discussion on the Boston and Maine situation and on the matter of the increase of passen- ger trains for the new summer time table which will be brought out next month No report was made upon these, however

ingly making off in a straight path through the mountains. He at once set out to follow them, and after much hard climbing Kiyomaro found himself on a main road in front of a temple But looking for his guides, he found that they had van ished. He at once fell on his knees in prayer to the gods, and went on his way rejoicing.
 This great favor was vouchsafed to Kiyomaro because he had refused to be a party to the crime of placing upon the heavenly descended throne a line of emperors who were in no way capable of occupying the throne once held by the celestial spirits Japan Advertiser.

WILD BOAR ON BANK NOTE.
How It Came to Be Used on Ten Yen
 Bill of the Japan Bank.

Only those we'll versed in the his tory of Japan have an idea of the reason why the wild boar is used as decoration on the back of the ten yen note of the Japan bank The story dates from the early dawn of the country's history, from the be- ginning of the period which may De said to be historical in contrast with with that part which is wholly my biological, and has to do with the era of the Empress Shdtoku, 739 A. D.
 It seems that after this empress had deposed the Emperor Junnin in 765 that the man who had been most useful to her in her deposition was certain Dokyo, Dokyo became, with the favor of the empress, the most powerful man in the empire, and aI- though he was a monk there is no doubt but that all the while he was in the service of the empress as her most trusted retainer he was plan ming to seize for himself the imperial throne.
 Through a follower of his own he had it suggested to the e~sress that the god of war, Hachiman. had told him in dream that if the empress would secure the throne to him af- ter her decease. that the empire would enjoy forever after years of unbroken peace. The empress, however, re- piled that she was powerless to do this, but agreed to consult the oracle of the god before giving her answer.
 Her majesty thereupon sent Wake no K1yomaro, whose picture adorns all the old notes of the Bank of Japan, and instructed him to procure an answer from the god on this ques- ton. Before setting out on his mis- sion, however, Kiyomaro was ap- preached by Dokyo, who told him that the empress was favorably in clined toward the project of setting him on the throne and that if he would see that a favorable answer was sent back he should have many favors showered upon him in the next reign.
 The reply of Kiyomaro was not at all to the liking of Dokyo. who ban ished Kiomaro, after mutilati ting him in horrible manner. During his banishment he was one day walking in the mountains, when he found that he had completely lost the way. He was in a very difficult position. when suddenly he saw a herd of wild boars1directly-in- front of him. seem
