PRESIDENT MELLiN's BILL.


 The presentation of a bill to the legislature by President Mellin of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad for court of commerce in- stead of a commission to act under ths public utilities bill which it is conceded will be enacted into law, shows that there is going to be hard nEht. before the committee to de- tsrmine which plan is best suited to the just enforcement of the law. As summarized by the Hartford Times the functions of the court are as fol- lows:
 i. To enforce the requirement which is a part of the proposed new law that all persons shall refrain from acts inimical 10 public health and safety.
 2. To enforce the requirement that all employers shall take proper meas ures to protect the health and per sonal safety of their employees.
 3. To enforce the requirement that all railroads, electric light gas, water, telegraph, telephone. street railway and express companies. and all other corporations and persons providing such facilities or utilities, shall render
  vice; and provide facilities which shall De reasonable and just and also be reasonably compensated the rates for such service to be reasonable. This bill provides that the governor shall nominate and the General Assembly appoint an additional judge of the Superior court, whose term of office shall begin on September 1, 1911. In each year prior to the first of September the chief justice shall designate a judge of the Superior court who for that year shall be judge of the Commerce court
 The abatement of a ruling hand of high efficiency seems to be the aim of the corporations, and the side of the people should not be satisfied with anything less.
 What might prove to be a popular feature of this measure is the pro- vision that any individual may begin an action in the court without en- ploying a lawyer, or involving him self in other expense. and to make this possible it is provided that the state laws regulating civil procedure in courts and also the rules of evi- dence shall not apply to the court of commerce.. The court is to have power to appoint any number of ex- perts 10 advise in the trial of issues of fact The court may prescribe "a minimum standard of performance" of any duty which it is empowered to enforce, or that the duty shall be per- formed absolutely
 As an advance step this has merit. and there appears to be no reason why it should not be tried. The old com mission form of doing things has oft en proved unsatisfactory to the peo- pie.

IGNORING BURNS.


 piversary of Burns in more than 100 American cities. and in all nations where Scotchmen have made their home. He got close to the heart of his countrymen and to all the world because he was a roysterer as we'll as a rhymstsr. He sang songs immortal craey. and he put into life a jovi- slity which was purely Scotch, and co human that it is worthy of per- pstuatfon and of the admiration it excites in the Sons of all nations.
 The history of the Scottish clans. who celebrate this day. is replete with deeds of dauntless bravery, determin- cd and steadfast resolutions, and patriotic sacrifice in the cause of civil and religious liberty and na- tional Independence"
 This order was founded at a meet ing in St. Louis in November, 1878, and brides itself on being non-pon- tioai and non- -sectarian. That the order has srandly fulfilled it's main mission is proven by the last state ueut issued from the office of the grand chief. over S1.250,000 has been paid out to widows and orphans of deceased members in the thirty two years of it's existence; and in ad- Gition. close to s5oO,oo0 has been dis pensed by the local clans in sick and funeral benefits.
 These merry celebratOrs honor Burns all the year by their charities end thsir cultivation of national cus- toms and amusements, as well as by the banquet on the anniversary of his birth and the recollections of "Auld Lang Syne."
 The admirers of Burns everywhere agree with his countrymen, that the Pioughman Poet, who In dess than 40 ears made such an impression upon the world. deserves the honors which true Scots every where accord to him.

He did not realize that these are three of the most i'm portant words to boy or man in the English language: but they be. And his songs were so noble and rang so true to human life and love and jollity that the whole world sings them and he has been idolized by the people and scholars. The Poet Holmes said of him:

Bobby Burns.

Robert Burns, the Scotch poet, was the son of a poor farmer, with few opportunities for learning or for ob- serving in early life. He was bare foot boy who in the face of hard luck had a merry heart and a kind dispo- sition. He even spored the little field mice and birdlings which fell in the furrow as he plowed. Hard work and simple Scottish fare made him a braWny boy at 15, at which age he was sl1ilful plowman. He kept his eyes and ears open. He rhymed at first because a neighboring lad did

 The fir candle was a length of wood cut off a kind of fir tree, which is found embedded in the peat. This kind of candle is still used in some parts of Scotland.
 It usually fell to the lot of the "herd- -laddies" to act the part of can dlestick: but should a beggar ask for night lodging. he was expected to relieve the herd -laddie" of his duty A candlestick is still called, in Aber- deenshire, ''puir man." or "poor man.

Country Life in England.

Country Life in England.
 Three little English girls, writing The Birmingham Weekly post about country life in England, picture it as follows:
 we all know how beautiful the country is when there has been 6 fall Of snow. The trees seem to be trim med with lace. and the hedges and fields are white, as if fairies had been at work on them; and if we live in Q suburb of town we can reach the country in about 20 minutes, if we appreciate it's beauties much more than if we saw it every day.
 When the harvest time comes round, how beautiful it is to see the farmers and their workmen gathering the hay in as fast as they can before the rain comes to destroy 1t. Lots nf children round here have rides on the haycarts as they go back to the fields. l did last summer, and 1t was such fun. Then, winter has its attractions, too. It is so pretty to see the snow on the country, especially when it is hiIly. Then when it comes a sharp frost and the pools get frozen over, then there is skating and sliding which is delight full"
 Country animals are so splendid; i; the cats and dogs and horses seem better educated and nicer in every way than the poor cramped-up things in towns. I also love the pursuits of 2 country life, like fishing, hunting, boat ing, poultry and goat-keeping, bee keeping and gardening and studying wild flowers, grasses, pond life, etc. A good game is almost impossible in a town, but in a country field one can play 9 jolly game of hockey, and in summer, cricket and many other games"

An Australian Sunset.

A boy in the bush of Australia wrote The sydney Stock Journal:
 Now 1 want to tell you something g about this locality. The post town is Bandon Brove, and it is a very pretty little place. Our house is situated on a hill, and overlooking the Williams river. The willow trees are very pret- ty at present, and are about the only green things around here, with the ex- ception of lucerne fields, as 1t is very dry, and bush fires are threatening.
 Beyond the river are two ranges of fills--the first and nearest to us Is bare and dry, and the next looks quite blue from here, because 1t is covered with trees. Sometimes in the evening just before the sun sets, this range Is very pretty. The slowly-fading sum light turns the blue to deep purple, with patches of gold here and there. Yesterday evening it was beautiful. because big, soft, pale pink clouds were peeping from behind the range. and slowly turning different colors."

Uncle Jed'. Chat with the Children.

Uncle Jed's Chat with the Children.
 We talked last week about ourselves as builders. You may have built some sorry days in your young lives. l are filled with thoughts of having fun more than being good and useful. Per- haps it is just as well they are so. for experience sharpens their wits as we'll as schools their minds. I'll tell you a day Jimmie built into his life and he never could forget it. He meant to make it just as good as any day, but he met a Boston boy named Charley who invited him to play
 'Hookeyi' new game always was pleasing to Jim, and he had no idea that it meant running away from school so he invited Charley to play it with them. He asked the Boston boy if 1t needed any more than three to play it, and he said more could, but it was just as well not to have too many. As they were wandering out into the country they threw stones at stable chased them and when they were a mile or two from school they heard the bells ringing. Jimmie said the school bells were ringing and they must hurry to school, but the Bos- ton boy said: You are not going to hookey!" So they went on to the marshes and climbed into the big haystacks and crawled under them and did all kinds of stunts. They did not have anything to eat, and they got cross and the Boston boy whipped Jimmie. and Charley fell off the hay stack and sprained his ankle and had to be helped home at dark. and Jim mic got whipped by his mother, and then he got sassy and was whipped by his father, and when he went to bed that night he made up his mind it was the worst day he ever saw. He had a good mother and she wanted him to begin the next day right, so she wrote the teacher to please excuse Jimmie and not whip him, because he had been whipped three times and was going to be good boy. He was excused and built better days for quite awhile, but Jimmie's days were all his own days and a good many of them resembled Chinese puzzles.
