MELISSA COULD NOT TOLERATE

Mrs. Merriwid had her little curved
SCISSORS, her orange sticks and her
chamois polisher laid out on her Dress

away sharp corner on rosy nail
OF an index finger when her maternal
maiden aunt Jane came in and set
tied down for a little visit.

When the Sun VIII Die.

1t may be said unqualifiediy that
the sun. like every other thing con-
nected with the present order. will
finally cease TO be what it is today
The time will most surely come when
the sun will have ceased to throw off
light and heat. Long before that hap
pens, however, the earth and other
planets will have become dead
worlds like the moon--no life of any
sort upon them 1t has been calcu-
lated that the sun will cease to throw
out its heat somewhere about seven
million of years from now

piled. I'VE like to pay for what we
acquire in the way of learning, though,
and the more we pay, the more re-
spect we have for our teacher That's
what makes old Professor Experience
SO popular. Another thing is, we want
to feel that our instructor knows more
than we do, and that's no attitude of
mind for any woman to take toward
her husband"
Don't you think that a man really
knows more than woman?' asked
Aunt Jane
Not if he doesn't know enough to
conceal the fact that he does" replied
Mrs. Merriwid.

CONGESTION ON EXISTING sTEyI
SHIPS ON ACCOUNT OF CANA
DIAN IMMIGRATION.

1t is reported that eight new Trans
Atlantic liners are under construction
for the exclusive use of the Canadian
Trade. These are being built by the
White Star, Canadian Pacific and
Cunard Companies.
The liners to be built for the White
Star are &c be of the same type as the
Laurentic and Majestic, and will re-
place the Canada and Teutonic. The
Cunard Lines new steamer, Ascanla,
has already completed successfully
her maiden voyage from England to
Montreal, and her sister ship will be
launched early next year.
It is predicted that the Canadian
Northern will not be slow in following
the example of the other big concerns.
is it is a matter of common belief that
Canada, more than any other in the
world, will be the country of the fu-
ture, and the best field for investment
by shipping interests.
An official of one of the companies
already building steamers for this
!, told the American yesterday
Il he ideal steamer for this service
is two-cabin boat, having accom-
n havon for second-class and steer
age passengers only.
I'VE do not expect that the $4,000
cabin de luxe class will travel be-
tween Canada and England very ex-
tensively," he said, "but the business
that is 30 be obtained there will be
Immensely lucrative, and for the next
ten years the eyes of the shipping
world will be riveted on Canada The
Panama Canal, undoubtedly will re-
ceive lot of attention, but the bust
ness in that route will be nothing COM
nared with the Canadian trade for the
immediate future. Panama will de-
velop and become bigger in the years
to come, but at the present we are
most concerned with the tremendous
tide of immigration that is being di-
verified from the United States to the
Dominionl
"The falh land of the vast North
West is tie attraction, and while this
food Of immigration is at its height,
the Canadian Government exercises a
strict censorship over the class of i'm
migrants admitted. In this way they
are drawing their future citizens from
the Northern countries and have
shown an unwelcome face to the peo-.
pie Of Southern Europe. "-Advertise-

NATIONAL PRIMARY
BILL IN CONGRESS
Sen. Sherman introduces Revo-
Iutionary Measure for Pop
ular Presidential Preference.

WASHINGTON. May pa plan
for holding a. nation wide Presiden-
tial preference primary was laid be-
fore the Senate late yesterday by Mr.
Sherman.
It goes further than any previous
suggestion In that direction. 1t virtu-
ally revolutionizes the, present sys-
TEN of national conventions and the
nomination of Presidents.
The measure introduced by Senator
Sherman provides there shall be one
delegate for every 5000 votes cast
at the preceding election, two dele
gates for each senator and represent
tative In each State polling 25,0O0
votes or more. and one for each senaf
tor and representative in each State
polling less than $4,000 votes.
States without primary laws are to
be barred from conventions.
Provision is made for entering the
names of candidates on the ballots
by petition. and the secretary of
state OF each State is required to
certify to the secretary of the in
leflOf-tHe IebultS OIL the ciSSliOiis. iiiN
personnel of the convention will
thereupon be announced by the secre-
tary of the interior.
A party casting per cent of all
the votes cast, at the preceding cleo
ton shall be considered a political
party within the meaning of the
measure, and a political organization
will be entitled to have candidates
upon the ballot if it submits petitions
signed by 5000 voters in each of ten
or more States.

BOARD OF WORKS AND
FREEH0LDERS TO CONFER

With a view of settling the South
Orange avenue paving proposition,
which has been in allegiance for some
time past, the Board of Works and
the Board of Freeholders will meet
The meeting will be held at the Court
House at $3.50 o'clock.
Residents Of the vailsburg section
have been clamoring for some time
to have this thoroughfare paved
Above South Nineteenth street 1t is
in a deplorable condition. Each time
that relief has been asked the petit
toners have been referred from the
Board of Works to the Freeholdsrs
and vice versa, without results.
The difficulty is brought about by
the fact that from the car barns
west. South Orange avenue is half
county. half city road. with neither
board having full jurisdiction. That
portion between the trolley tracks
which are run on the side and just
inside the curb line, which measures
about twenty feet is controlled by
the county The remainder is city
property.
When the question of repaving is
taken up it is likely also that plan
will be considered to place the car
tracks in the centre of the street. 1t
is claimed by residents of that Sec
ton above the car barns that many
accidents which have ACQUIRED in that
locality could have been averted if the
tracks were not located so close to
the sidewalks.
