Well, goodness gracious mercy me! 2, cried Mrs. Curfew to the soTnfwhat frayed deIegate at the door. '<ss6 yoa1 have the cheek fo come to this house E a6aiA trying to sell your patent liquid |fhlUfQg warned you last spring that F aver you came back T would. sum

 | You have something different every spring, and nothing you ever sold is worth having If seems a strange thing to me that a man as bOwlegged as you are will go around pestering helpless wOmen, trying to sell boneset bitters compounded by some celebrated savant, when you ought to be catch ing greased pigs at a grangers picnic, or doing something else that's useful. You might just as well gC along with your patent denatured coffee, or whatever you're selling for haven't time to stand here taII1ing with you. I've just begun housecleaning and was busy cleaning out the kitchen closet when heard your rap at the door and supposed you was the man from the plumbers come to regulate the clock If you eohld see that closet was speaking of you wouldn't wonder that I am greatly prejudiced against agents.

 Just last week I was making pre- parations to entertain my daughters, who promised to come in and spend Sunday with me, and I made a cake that I thought would please them, as that kind of cake always was their favorite. Well. when they saw that cake on the table they were delighted and they hurried through the substan- tial part or the dinner so as to get at it. But when my married daughter took a bite out of it she made such a face that was scared, and then she went to the sink and scrubbed her mouth with soap and water.
 Meanwhile. my younger daughter, who is fashionably educated, began to eat that cake. and her actions were perfectly ridiculous. She drank all the vinegar that was on the table and then began eating horseradish, and when she got her breath recited a LAtln pOeHl tildt SOuHuSu uA&oAU1tAo1AAS like swearing.
 When I insisted upon knowing what was the matter the girls told me to try my own cake took a bite and
 didn't wonder at their conduct any more When I was making that cake I supposed I was havoring it with va nilla, but I must have got the wrong bottle, for it didn't taste of any thing but horse liniment, the kipd my husband uses when he wants to blister

THROUGH TRAINS
Planned by New Haven Road to Avoid Ferryins Around New York on Southern Trips.

If the. work on the new bridge across the East river in New York, which has already been begun. Is car ried out according to the plans of the engineers of the New York, New Ha- ven & Hartford Railroad Co, they will be enabled to run trains from points in New England through the south. without resorting to the expedient of having them ferried around the island of Manhattan. More than three miles will be covered by the new bridge and it's approaches and the estimate cost will be S20, 900. .000
 The new improvement will have a far reaching effect Travellers board 7 ing the trains en route to the south will be carried across the East river at Wards island to Queens borough over the tracks of the Pennsylvania- Long Island system through Brooklyn and through the tunnel to the Jersey shore. The new route win do away with the present methods of handling the through trains by using; the cum- bersome ferries and will give the New Haven company an allrai1 route across the Empire city. s
 The new bridge will extend acroHs Randall's island from Port Morris on the New York shore over Little Hell

WARNED oE. OUR PEalLs.

No age was ever so thoroughly warned of its perils as this age of ours: and when the scientists and hy- gienists lay them out before us, we laugh. We are an audacious lot ot individuals and we do not get fright ened at the bacilli on dirty dollar bills. on the dear old family roller in the kitchen. on the drinking cups. or the bacteria or animalculae which hold conventions on the straws at the soda fountains, or breed by millions in our whiskers.
 If the people took these things se- riously, what kind of a world would this be to live in? Where ignorance is bliss, it is folly to be wise" but the hunters of microscopic pests and perils do not appear to have seen the point yet. If they will just tell us how Methuseiah ever got on for 800 years without any knowledge of his microscopic enemies. or any guard of his life whatever along these lines. they will do us favor.
 It is a fact that if million of these germs can sit on a needle point as some scientists aver, it would take 92,o00,Qo of them to cover the long Latin name they are known by. the studying out of the pronunciation of which is enough to make well man sick.
 The good old Bible prophets used to carry millions of them in their big boards, and they lived to a ripe old age
 So there is no use of worrying about the bacteria on the soda fountain straw. This ought to be the straw to break the back of this camel of ap- prehension.

 Thero has never been. a period when the countrv's industrial interests have been confronted with SO many viz tai problems as in the present year of 1911.

The sixteenth annual con venttsn. therefore, comes at time when every manufacturer finds him. self lace to face with conditions strongly affecting the future safe con duct of his business The problems which will claim the attention of the coming meeting are many and vital including labor in its various rarni- 1cntisnG also the great constructive policy interwoven in the prevention oi accidents and the equitable solution of the urgent question of industrial relief

MAY HAVE TO DE RETURNED.

There is no reason why detectives in any case should violate law to se- cure a victim. z
 The country has been somewhat surprised by ths position President Gompers has taken with reference to the arrest of Secretary McNamara of the International Association of Bridge md Strut@ura1 Iron Workers: but if the conduct of Detective. William J. Burns is as reported Gompers is justi- fled in the position he has taken The way in which Burns took McNamars from Indiana Is said to have been it. legal
 IL is claimed that the law lays down ccr1aiA 'fo~fas that must be obeye(&i in t1<lng 1FUU one state a man charged wltA eptms tn another. Those forms protect . prisoner no matter what he Is aeeused of. and they are not to be r8narded as empty phrases. So it does not matter in the least what evidence ha4 beea gathered against McNama- ra. H he was taken out of the state of Indiana without due process of law and deprived of even the lssst of his legal rights. he was treated with law less contempt of the preroxatives granted every citizen of the land.
 What this detective has done will have 10 be passed upon by the courts and If these claims are sustained il iH prohahle that NcrVamara will have te be returned to Indiana.

As a Gallant Doctor Faces Death.

 The French consul at Harbin has given the following account of pr: Gerald Mesnys death to the special correspondent of the Petit Journa1:
 Il had heard that Dr. Mesny direc- tor of the Chinese Imperial School of Medicine at Tientsin and medical of ficer of the French Colonial infantry, had arrived at Harbin three days be- fore. 1 was somewhat astoniShed at not having received visit from him and was on the point of going to sse him when I received message ask : ing me to come to his hotel, as he Md just been taken ill. hastened to f-le Grand hotel and found the doctor just leaving 1t 10 get into the hospital ecn- veyance.
 "T have refrAined from coming to see you he said, as I knew you had wife and family. was afraid of carrying the infection to your house, and it was just as well. for have just been analyzing my saliva and find that am irretrievably lost.
 .sI estimate that I have stfll about 36 hours to live. l have wife and children. and beg of you not to let them know until after my death You will find in my room several letters ana my will. After you have had them disinfected I ask you to send them to my family with all my effects.
 :" am sorry I cannot even shake your mana, Dul IHahk you anu DeS you will excuse the trouble have caused you
 And. smiling, with a cigarette in his lips the doctor, followed by the Chinese boy, his servant. got into the hoapitaI Iva gon, head erect, like the Girondins going to the scaffo1d.'

FIcnTINc FIRE WITH CHEMICALS

In Toledo. Ohio, following big fire. the subject of fighting fire with chemicals has been brought up for discussion. A writer tos The Blade. whose plant was seriously damaged, said: Tt seems to me that fighting fire with chemicals in which fire can not burn or spread is more scientific than fighting fire with water which only puts fire out and does more dam age than fire as a rule. Also it doesn't keep fire out. How much better than pouring watcr on flames it would be to throw chemicals over q burning building which would keep out the oxygen the flames feed on.''
 The Blade in it's comments upon this view of the superiority of chemicals in Ire lighting. said: Chemicals have saved many thousands of dollars worth of property in Toledo. not only from flames, but also from damage by water. But the utility of chemicals 10 such . purpose is restricted. With out knowing the exact process by whIcl1 the promise of chemical extin- away, we gather that the inventors in their enfhusiasm left the. human ele- nent out of their caicula tions. That part of the air wh4eh fire feeds upon ix fhat which the lungs of man feed upon A conflagration whereon a. greet amount of chemical substances wore thrown would he fatal to fire men and spectators Property might bo saved. but lives lost A practical plses seems to have been found for small chemical fire extinguishers Their limit has probably been found and dedned.'
 xhs nremen recognize the advan- tzses bf chemicals in fire fighting and know how to use them. This is g. matter which must be left entirely to. their judgment.
