1t is strange but true, the great American voter will go to the polls and elect p1an to office no saloonkeeper in the town would trust for a pot of beer. It is a fact that in at least two New England cities it has been shown that jail sentence added to the popularity of successful political cand- idates. In view of these facts 1t does mt look as If matters could be made worse if the franchise was extended to women. Wasn't it the disreputable practice of Gerry which resulted in half the states of the Union being Gerry -mandered-a political division which is never less than a disgrace to an honest man. If all the disreput- able things men have done with the ballot were shown up. perhaps to im- prove the moral tone of politics it might be found necessary to let women vote. Man has never yet shown him. self to be an expert with the ballot for the moral advancement of the nation. Since our power, tastes, and ex- pressions are controlled by sections of brain-cells it is apparent that our brain is the pigeon-hole part of our l achinery; and since phrenologically It has been divided into A parts we
 may be allowed to imagine 1t has the same number of compartments in which arc stored away our memories,
 thoughts and plans. with here and there an electrical push button which can start our feelings and our tears, Just in proportion to our storage
 capacity is our power less or more 1 our world large or small It is thls packing away in the brain-eells of
 our memories which constitutes con- l seriousness and gives to life its real fervor or color. We must have a care
 for the occupants of some of these
 pigeon holes. Conceit has power to
 initiate vanity, envy can excite jeai-
 ousy, Jealousy can stir up anger. and 1 anger can release every evil word you have put away there and make a fool
 or a mad-man of you or I. The only
 way we can become master of onr souls and captains of ot% fate- is to 1 be conscientious masters of the pigeon hole system-run wisely the office 1 of our destiny,

f man wants to get the worst end of the argument he should tackle homely woman who has no temptation to look in the glass and has never been bothered by admirers. She was constructed to lend herself to abstruse subjects. She hasn't been made vain by praise, but she has found it neces- sary to show skill in buildings and parleying. She'll tell you beauty is only skin deep. and prove it to your satisfaction. She is prepared to balk the theologians and to bring dismay to the face of politicians She doesn't guess-she knows. She doesn't talk to please but debates for edification. Old Euripides let the world know he dis liked the woman who knew too much; and in these days Euripidean men are not scarce. They do not like Sapphos, Hypatias, Mde. Curies or Catts. They believe women should not know too much; and those given to fashion plates and the mirror are in no danger of disturbing them.

THE MAN WHO TALKS

The wren has been absent from the garden this year for the first time in seventeen years and the four wren houses are all empty. I have missed his sweet Eofg and comPanionah1e- ness-there has been no substitute Tor this musical little visitor The English spaarows are raising their second brood in the swamp maplei the nlue- birds have nestled In the crab apple tree and gone with their full -nedged young. The robins have nested and bred and aroused the whole nei&nnor- hood with their doubts and fears dur ing the whole breeding season. A pair of yellow wRrblers whose nest Is Tn an adjacent lot haunt the rosebush hedge early in the morning for midges, and are busy all day long gathering food for their young-gleaming m golden plumage; and when ngh1an comes and other bird voices are still, the stake drivers fly by overhead, with their "Quawk! Quawk!" Seldom vary ing five minutes in the time Of their flight. These all do not fill the vacan- cy made by the little songster who was with us so long.
 July is well entered upon, and the birdman is noting the increasing si- fences and the gardner the increasing seeds The tender greens are depart ing and the deepening color of the
 
 beautiful colors. In July we begin to notice the trend Is toward shorter days and longer nights. The garden is then running night and day like a factory overburdened with orders, and plants grow so fast we note their i'm creasing height day by day. The man behind the scythe and behind the hoe have all they can do to make hay and undo the pestiferous weeds Experi- ence shows us there is more than foe to every plant, and we wonder at the opulence of nature which on some plants bestows hundreds of thousands of seeds. In the midst of life we ask what life is. and do not answer the question. The man with the hoe cuts plant in pieces and unless he up- roots 1t he finds a dozen plants where there was only one before To kill something more must be done than to cut. Nature is the producer and con- sumer of all we see.

Win Handle Red Cross Seals.
To the Editor of The Newsl

This year, at the request of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, the State cut has undertaken to supervise the dis tribution of the Red Cross Christmas Seals throughout the state. Hereto fore, various local agencies In the state have conducted the safes of these Christmas seals by direct communica- tion with the National Red Cross Society. In several of the larger com munities the local committees have made surprisingly large sales, but there has been complaint at the National Headquarters that only about two- thirds of the state had been reached in previous Christmas campaigns. There fore, the request to the State Tubercu- losis Commission to lead and coordinate the campaign this year.
 The Commission has gladly complied with this request, and hopes not only to make Connecticut the banner state in this years Christmas seal campaign, but it expects that, as the result of the campaign, every community in the state, no matter how small, or how remote, will have at least one perma- nent Tuberculosis Committed, or simi- lar organization to help in Connecti- cuts great fight against the disease that still causes one-tenth of the deaths of the state.
 The Commission has appointed as Field Marshal ot the campaign, MT. H. E. Clearman, who did similar work in Brooklyn last year, and who comes to us with the enthusiastic endorsement of National Headquarters. When he calls we bespeak for him few minutes of your time. He will not bore you. Any help in the way of information or introduction you may see fit to give him will help the cause, and oblige the State Tuberculosis Commission.

Railroads Shru ,xen lneone.

The net income ar the New Haven road during the first year nf the chair. manship of Howard Eiliotr was aboG t $S, ,653, 900 Il lder that of the previous years, according to the New Haven's s annual report, made public last week. The shrinkage is attributed to several causes, including the reduction in ex- press rates ordered by the Interstate i Commerce commission and business conditions generally.
 The report also shows that the road | has been compelled to pay more than 1 $l 100, GOO i'll damage settlements aris- ing out of the wrecks, which occurred prior to MT. Elliott assuring office.
 In his address to the stockholders MT. Elliott declared that the past year has been most trying one for the com. pany as well as to the owners of its securities and the fact that the organi- zation has been able to sustain itself during the very disturbed conditions, is evidence of inherent strength.
 Conditions necessary for the road B success, MT. Elliott said, were freedom from distance and the opportunity for constructive work; the removal of restrictions anl conflicts in the laws and policies, of the various New England states; a readiness on the part of state and federal commissions to permit a readjusment and increase in freight and passenger rates and an increase in the pay for carrying mail and parcel post; and adequate time for the company to dispose of it's invest ments i'll other companies. r.-. ....-E
 Commenting ou the government liti. gation against the road, MT. Elliott says the final papers in the agreement between the government and the New Haven are being drawn up and it is said that the degree will become effec- tive in the future. The detailed figures for ttre~year show that the remaining income was $26s, 900 a loss of $s. 653,. 900 from the balance at the close of the previous years. The gross earnings de- creased $i ,995, ,000 but operating costs increased S1, ,2S8, ,o00.
 The income from outside sources lost $2,815, 900, while fixed charges in- creased $2,l40,000. There was a loss of g, a65, 900 i'll the dividends received on stocks held. ......

The Cost of Killing a Man.

According to figures compiled by Gen. Percin in La Science ct la Vie, it costs so much to kill man i'll war that it hardly seems worth while.
 Poison would be cheaper, if killing were the only object.
 The cost of killing man in war is obtained by dividing the total cost of a war to any of the belligerents by the number of men killed on the other side.
 The Franco Prussian war cost France 5000, 900, 900 and France killed 2S, 600 Germans. This war at the rate of $21, 900 per man.
 The Russo Turkish war of I877-7S cost Turkey $40o, 900, 900, and Turkey killed 16,60o Russians, or $15, ,000 per Russians killed.
 The Russo Japanese war of 1905 cost Russia $1, 200, 900, 900, so that it cost Russia $20, 400 to kill each of the 2S, . 600 Japs who were slain.
 The rate varies, obviously, and no fixed rate for killing can be figured. Besides, when the present war is over there will be an entirely new set of figures.
 The only certain deduction that can be made is that the cost is excessive, and that it would be much more eco- nomical to distribute germs of typhoid fever, say, and kill your men that way. It would be quite as decent, quite as civilized, as killing them by means of war.-Duluth Herald.
