III Timed Abuse.

It is not at all surprising that the dis dressing railroad wreck at Stamford on Juney12 should be seized upon by the critics of the New Haven road as an oc- caslon for malignant abuse. But peo- pie who believe in justice will be show have been proven. The tragedy at Stamford is most regrettable. There was nothing in the circumstances that would lead any passenger on the first section of the train to imagine that there was any possibility that the one follow ing would crash into it. The travellers were unconscious of danger until the terrible impact and then lives were wiped out and serious injury wrought in less time than it takes to tell it.,
 According to the railroad company's statement the engineer of the second section admits passing the home and dis tance signals and that when he finally saw the danger he was unable to operate the air brakes. If that statement is correct the very natural conclusion is that the engineer was at fault. If the facts are different, they can be establish ed by the proper tribunal and the remedy applied.
 It ought not to require any argument to prove that the officials of the New Haven road have quite as much interest as anybody in preventing tragedies of that sort. Aside from their professional pride and their feelings of humanity there is the cold business proposition that a railroad company cannot afford to have wrecks, because they cost a lot of money.
 There has been an unfortunate series of accidents on the New Haven system that have cost lives and serious loss of property. The company's officials have tried to overcome the causes, but the human element is still to be contented with, aud there is no way of eliminating it. .a.a
 If it can be shown that there is any criminal negligence or incapability on the part of the company the laws provide for punishment, but until such charges can be proved 1t does not show good judgment to stir up ill feeling by vicious attacks. that have desire to be sensa- tional as their inspiration, or that are dictated by willingness to injure the company.-New London Day.

Would Take q Lona Chance.

John D. Rockefeller once called two little boys over to him. He said to one: Johnnie, if I give you n dollar what will you do with itY Johnnie said: 'I'll put it in the bank and let it draw interest until it gets to be hun, dred, then a thousand and so on until get as much as you got" ''Very good" said John D. Here's the dol- lar. Now, Tommy, what would you do with dollar?" Tommy said; First would change the dollar into two halves, the two halves Into four quar- ters, the four quarters into ten dimes, the ten dimes into twenty nickels, the twenty nickels into a hundred pen nies." "Why would you do all thisr' asked John D. Tommy replied, "well, somebody may make mistake."- Kansas City Star.

A a,rrnrimn Enr ldnr

One of the greatest singers of France was returning from New York on a German liner. One evening. glancing at the program of the concert that was 10 be played at dinner. she saw a tri- umphal march celebrating the German victory of 1871.
 She immediately conceived that the selection of such piece was an insult to her and announced to a friend that she would express her disapproval at the proper time.
 The captain noticed the great artist's agitation and glanced at the program to see what caused it; then, with a faint smile. he spoke to one of the walters in low tone.
 At the moment when the German tffumphal march was due to begin the French singer, who could not control her agitation. prepared to leave the table.
 The first chord was played, the artist arose and stood, pale. agitated and amazed, while the officers and other passengers also got up and smiled sympathetically at her.
 And the band played The Marseil- laisel'

Connecticut Suffrage News.

The monthly meeting of the Execu- tive Board of the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association which was held last week in Hartford. was the occasion of much congratulation over the prospect of the coming removal of headquarters from it's present somewhat oramped and rather out of the way position right into the heart of the best shopping district of the City. ..e#
 The visit of Senator Helen Ring Rob- inson to Connecticut was one of the outstanding events in suffrage history of the current year. While in the State Senator Robinson addressed meetings in Hartford, New Haven and Bridgeport. The Hartford Meeting was held at Suf. frage headquarters 24 Ford Street on Tuesday. The New Haven meeting on Wednesday evening took place in the Foy Auditorium, and the Bridgeport meeting on Thursday afternoon was held on the lawn of the homes of Mrs. Will. liam T. Hincks the President of the O. W. s. A.
 The islanders and aspersions which have been diligently and wantonly cast on Colorado women were taken up one by one by Senator Robinson and defi- nitely and clearly disposed of. The ut ter and unreasonable baslessness of most of these islanders was easily demon strsted. Those of more serious nature were disproyed by plain recital of the facts of Colorado legislation.
 The idea that the ballot breaks up the home and makes women unwomnly and unlovable needs only Mrs. Robinson's presence for it's combination. Senator Robinson, it must be remembered is not only a voter but is an active politician and an office holder. If woman can be all this and remain as gracious, as home loving and as womanly as Senator Robinson it is hardly likely that the mere casting of a ballot once & year should have some mysteriously deleter. ious influence over all the other women of the State. Pres. Conn. W. s. A.

Oyster Liquid.

Only one oyster opener in fifty seems to know that the best thing by far about m oyster is the liquid in It's shell. Watch the other forty-nine and you will see them wantonly wasting this precious, fragrant liquid, and in many cases they will serve the oyster on the fat shell. so that you get no juice at all. Always ask for them on the shell, and don't be afraid after you have transferred the morsel to your mouth to drink the liquid from the shell. It may not look elegant, but elegance be hanged!-Henry T.

Care for the Baby.

The following rules have been pro- scribed by the Boston Board of Health for the care of babies, and printed in the Boston Post:
 Nurse your baby if it is possible. If you do its chances for life and health will be 10 times greater than the chances of a bottle-fed baby.
 Do not wean baby in hot weather.
 Nurse or feed your baby at regular times. He should sleep six hours each night without being walked. When regular time for feeding comes wake up baby promptly.
 Give the baby all the cool boiled water he wants.
 Do not handle the baby too much.
 Do not clothe the baby in flannel during the hot weather-it brings prickly heat.
 In hot weather one thin piece of cloth ing is enough. The baby will not take cold. It feels the heat more than you.
 When in doubt about anything see Il doctor at once. Such questions are too serious for yon to decide.
 Wash the baby all over every morn Ing. Sponge him often during the day with cool water.
 Buy good clean milk and prepare it just as the doctor at the stations or the .dispensary directs.
 Never use feeding bottle with tube on it. The nipple close to the bottle IS more sanitary.
 Never give the baby coffee. beer syrups or solid food.
 Sleep on the roof or in the yard with the baby if possible. If not keep yonr windows open Jay and night.
 Let the baby sleep alone
 Keep the child out of the kitchen. Keep fiies out of the house, as they spread disease.

Somebody had given her Brazilian parrot. and she was showing 1t to a friend who is somewhat of a practical joker.
 "You know," she explained, "this parrot comes from Brazil, and the Bra. zilian parrots are so intelligent that they are almost human This bird whistles Home, Sweet Home so beau. tifully that the tears run down its beak."
 Yes" replied her friend. "I know all about Brazilian parrots. I used to have one, and it whistled The Village Blacksmith so beautifully that sparks would actually fly from its tail."-New York World.

What London Miqht Have Been,

There was a time when London was actively planning to be a "city beauti- full" Plans are still in existence which, had they been adopted, would have resulted in really magnificent city. Sir Christopher Wren prepared a set immediately after the great fire, though private interests prevented their adoption. It was purposed to build main thoroughfares ninety feet wide, to insuate all the churches in conspic- uous positions. form large piazzas and group the halls of all the city compa- nies in a handsome square annexed to Guildhall Finally fine quay was to occupy the bank of the river from Blackfriars to the Tower.

Christian Unity Conference.


 The Protestant Episcopal Church in October, 1910, appointed Commission to bring about conference for the con- sideration of questions as to the faith and order of the Christian Church, ID the hope that such Conference will promote the cause of Christian Unity. That Commission is inviting all Chris tian Communions throughout the world which confess our Lord Jesus Christ as God and Saviour to unite with the Episcopal Church in arranging for and conducting such 8 Conference. More than twenty such cooperating Comis. sions have been appointed, including all the leading Oommunions in the United States and the Church of England in England and Canada. Invitations are now being sent to the other leading Oommunions outside the United States as fast as the names and addresses of their officers can be obtained. The Episcopal Commission is publishing leaflets, explaining the scope and methods of the Conference, and giving list of books on Christian Unity, and those leaflets have been circulated all over the world. The Commission is glad to send them free to any one who will apply for them to the secretary, Robert H. Gardiner, Gardiner, Maine. He has received probably ten thousand, or more, lettters on the subject, coming from every part of the world and from members of every communion, Protest ant and Catholic. Persons applying are entered on permanent mailing list, so that they will receive all future publica- tions.
 The Episcopal Commission is trying to carry on the undertaking in the spirit of Bishop Brent. who urged, at the meet. ing when the Commission was organ ized, that the side of organization shall not be made too prominent. but that we shall seek spiritual power. The first step shall be, in a new and full and deep way, to rededicate ourselves to God, free from past predjudices, in order that. so losing ourselves. we may have spiritual power simply compelling.
 Ministers and lay men and women in Connecticut to the number of 201 have already been brought together, at least to the extent of enrolment on the list, which is arranged geographically so that those who are interested enough in Christian Unity to apply to be placed on the list may obtain the names of others in their neighborhood also interested. with whom they can meet for united prayer for the reunion of Christians and for conference as to how it can best be brought about. The list includes Con- gregationalist, Baptists. Episcopalians, Presbyterians, Methodists and Roman Catholic. The Executive Committee of the Commission of the Epicopal Church, of which the Rev. w. T. Manning, D, D., Rector of Trinity Church, New York, is Chairman, has recently issued circular letter urging such local con. ferences The World Conference may not be held for number of years, for it will be long undertaking to get the approval of all the leading Oommunions all over the world, though the project is being received with great cordiality.
