PIPES SMOKED

From London Tit-Bits.
Our classical rhymesters do not seem
to have been very daihty smokers. Ten
nyson liked a cigar, and is said on one
occasion to have quilted Venice in dis
gust because he could get no good cigars
there; but an Irish clay and plentiful
supply Of bird's-eye tobacco delighted
him more than the best Havana.
As matter of fact, Tennyson could
not exist without his pipe. 1t is related
that on one occasion. at soiree of the
Royal Society, he declared he must have
pipe. a friend said he could smoke up
the chimney of the back library, or on
the roof. Tennyson chose the latter, and,
with his body thrust half way through
the skylight puffed away in peace, de-
scending in a quarter of an hour greatly
refreshed
Charles Lamb too, was an inveterate
pipe smoker, while the pipe which the

BOSTON EXPRESS TRAIN
CRASHES INTO FREIGHT
AND TWO ARE INJURED

Bowling along the rails at a So
york express, via Springfield, crashed
into the rear end of a, freight train On
a crossing at the north end of the
Cedar Hill freight yards, in New Ha-
ven, about 4:22 yesterday morning.
Ellsworth K. Elmer a fireman on the
passenger train, residing at 175 Elm
street, West Haven, and Railway Mail
Clerk Hickey of New York were injur-
ed in the collision and In the fire
which followed the wreck five freight
cars and a, caboose were entirely deS-
troyed. A fog, so dense that lights
were distfnguishab1e only few feet
away, harspered the vision Of the en-
gineer on the passenger expr ess, ana
he was unable to see the red ban
jo'' signal until it was too late to
apply the brakes The engine of the
passenger train Ieaped almost COM
pletefy over the cabooSe and the ee-
cape of the engineer is considered lit
tie short OF miraculous.
AS nearly as could be learned, the
heavily loaded freight cars were on
the main track, directly in the oath
of the New York express It was sup
posed that there was ample time to
clear the track before rne express
passed. All but five of the cars had
taken the cross-over, and weresafely
the siding when the crash occurred.
The road in a statement, attributed
the wreck to the failure to clear the
switch on the part of the freight train.

Mr.. Glynn has just returned from
a six months trip abroad, during
which time he inspected trades schools
and methods in the British Isles and
on the continent. He told of the free
apprenticeship schools in England, of
the great textile school in Belfast,

walters and cooks study. and during
their course study English and

when telling of the great hall in
which. the meals were served. The
hotel and restaurant men, he said,

moters.
He also told of so youths working
as bushelnaen in a trade school for
tailoring, and of the great school in
Dublin where 900 boys live, raise their
own crops, shear their sheep, weave
their cloth and then make the cloth
into clothing. In London there is

making, or merely to run a. home

In all of the vocational schools
