Akin to National Calamity.
The stoppage OF the New Haven Rail
road dividend is in the nature of a ma
1nal calamity. New Haven stock was
not merely stock; it was an institu-
ton, almost a fetch New Englanders
for two generations have look d upon il
with something akin TO veneration. IL
was to them what government rentes
are to the French investor and consols
to the staidest of Briton aristocrats.
That SO splendid a property. serving
the finest territory in the Union, should
have been brought to such a pitiable
straits is criminal. Is nobody to be held
responsible for the dissipation of scores
of millions OF dollars saved by trusting
men and women and placed in the Gus

sponsible advisers are ready to shape
their policies with due regard to the
delicate conditions now prevailing and
that are likely to prevail in the new

Ready for Mischief.
But there are short-sighted persons
In and out OF the cabinet who want
to run riot in corporation batting, and
their antics may gratuitously disturb
matters unless the President and the
public unite in peremptorily demand
ling q cessation Of unreasonable anti
business demonstrations.
Of course, measures will be introduced
aimed at correcting abuses in high fl
nance. The situation calls for clear-cut,
emphatic legislation governing the con-
duct Of trust and trustmakers-who
sometimes prove prosperity wreckers, as
the New Haven Railroad calamity pain
fully demonstrates.
Public opinion will be with the Ad-
ministration in prohibiting mischievous

Haven and who are still influential in
the finances of the New York Central

though it may entail inconvenience,
and perhaps there may be an attempt
to turn the New York Stock Exchange
upside down. New Federal action
would almost certainly do more harm
than good. The exchange governors
are now trying to work out their own

The Great White Shark.

The man eating fish ,par excellence Is
the great white shark. 1t is otherwise
known by the name of man eater. De-
casionally specimens are seen on both
coasts of the United States, though its
more customary habitat is in tropical
waters. This friGhtful creature attairs
a length OF nearly forty!feet, and it is
able TO swallow man whole. This
fact is proved by an experiment which
sailors are fond, of making when such
a shark is captured. The skull being
preserved. they anause themselves by
crawling one after another through the
distended Jaws. 1t would be unsafe to
do this. however. when the head has
been freshly cut Off, because under
such conditions the jaws will snap to-
gether fercely for some time after

location is circumscribed. 1t then re-

Leoend of the Moss Rose,

A German tradition gives the origin
of the moss rose as follows: An angel
came to earth in mortal guise. He
sought a place Of shelter and repose
after his labors of love. but every door
was shut against the heavenly visitor.
At length the angel, being very weary.
sank upon the ground and over him a
rosebush spread like a tent 1t caught
upon its outspread leaves the falling
dew which would otherwise have
