 To call child q dunce, or any other depressing name, consistently. will as surely impair that child as striking mirror with all iron rod will break it.. To, through disappointment hold a child in disesteeJn, and to be uni formly unkind to it, is to permanently injure it. Young minds need be as- sured of what they can do, rot what they cannot; of what they may be- come, not what they are never likely to attain. To cail a child a vagrant is to put a figure of speech in his mind which may spell ruin for him. Children are made to aspire by having intelligently explained to them things worthy of achievement.

He cannot be forgotten because he stood for things eternal. Mans measure of greatness is false measure when it fails to recognize those who have stood for love, fraternity. freedom and goodness.
 When you are tempted to say while in wrath mean things just bid your tongue be silent. Tie other party may be able to say meaner things than you are capable of expressing in words; and the retort vile is like the far exceeds the truth. This is a point where the beauty and blessedness of silence easily may be tested. When in anger it is possible to say things you will be sorry for as long as you live Nothing worries ali anLa goniSt more or makes him feel cnea per, or cuts him deeper, than to decline to initiate him in any mean or dfshonorable con- duct. The apologies, the Pm SO sorrys, the I-didn't-meanto's may be soothing but no one can warrant them to heal the wound. Calling names while in anger stiscIoses a Quality no one ever is proud of. It is a good plan to shut up like clam when you are :n danger of speaking like madman. If we do not speak mean of -or to others they are very much less likely to speak mean of or to us. Clean speech is a good evidence of ability and worth, of dignity and reserve.

 It appears that the laying off of sev- eral workmen at the factory of sthe Yale & Towne Co. in Stamford a few days ago was not due to slump in business and that the full activity of the plant has been resumed. This fac tory is doing much work for the muni- tions makers now and some excite ment was caused when some depart ments began laying off help, but there was no cause for alarm. It is doubtful if there will be much curtailment of work throughout the winter in any of the munitions plants unless the rail- road transportation facilities fail to meet the test. With the cost of living as it is there can be no doubt of the fervor with which even munitions plant employees will pray for the better health of the railroad system.-Wa- terbury Republican.

The en- forcement of some general and state wide system of sewage disposal and purif1cation is the only radical and satifactory solution to this unfortunate situation, and the longer the applica- ton of the remedy is delayed the more costly will it become.

 As long as the grown people who walk the tracks are not arrested just the iron highways and there will be fatalities like that of yesterday when a boys life was snuffed out. The rail- road is doing its best to keep persons off the tracks. It is continually issuing warnings and notices are posted all along the road where people are like ly to take the racks. The police have other things to concern them selve, and people who wish to take short cuts use the tracks. Until there understand that the tracks are not sidewalks such accidents as that of yesterday will continue to happen. The children go on the tracks because older persons do and because they are not sufficiently warned. The fact that it is dangerous and against the law to walk the tracks has not been really impressed upon them. If the railroad would put extra police here for a time and arrest everybody who walks the tracks the practice would soon end. The ordinary mortal has to have things hammered into his head by force or at least by a show of it be- fore it really makes an impression on him.-Meriden Journal.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

The reassuring circular of a New York coal firm calls the present situa- tion largely psychological" and says that it was "unquestionably aGgra- vated by uninformed newspaper sensa- tionalism." At least, it was not unin- formed. The newspapers first inform ed themselves as to the facts and then showed their "sensationalism' by printing the price lists and informing the public There was certainly noth- ing "psychological" in the process. The point that now interests the newspa- pers and the general public is the ex- traordinary psychology of the coal op- orators and dealers-Providence Bull letin.

Young fellow look out for your reputation, which through your disregard of the observations of others may become really worse than your true character. Who you z associate with, where you go. how you appear and what you say throw light upon what you seem to be, if thereby is not disclosed just what ;ou are. An old proverb tells us that @a -person with Ia bad name is more than half hanged" while i, good name is the jewel of the soul" It is not necessary to be one of the o'hoys, or to pose as a sport to be a man. It is easy to think you are in the swim even when you are in the whirlpool of destruc tion and beyond rescue. Youth doesn't always have sharr eye for peril, be- cause it has such d keen scent for fun

Isn't harmony more of a dream than reality. We yearE for harmony be- cause it is sweet; and we miss it doubtless because it is more than is good for US. You know we are dis appointment in many ways to our families and friends; and we are con- scious that in many ways they are a disappointment to HIS. We all have different concepts of life, and our tastes are so wide apart thar we run in counter channels. When Nature designs man the trend seems to be toward individualiZing rather than harmonizing. Society and governments are not organized with a view to harmony, but for competitions and an- tagonisms which usually count for progress. Fabre in his study of life found that man as well as all of Gods creatures was made to eat and then be eaten or, as he naively puts it man is first guest and ? then a dish." This does not put the line of Nature in sweet accord. First we are, then we were, and the tale is told. Harmony would be Heaven, and let us hope we may all attain it.

Some one has ventured to say that
 trouble was the second thing which
 came to man. No doubt trouble came
 to man early in his career-iong be-
 fore he was capable of keeping an ac-
 count of his trials: but it isn't safe to be too sure about the numerical order of things. There may have
 been several things before trouble There is love and expectation and suspicion and jealousy, the imps
 which have always been back of trou-
 ble since man was: and man was long
 before time. It took man unnumbered
 ages to invent time; and still more
 ages to conceive of such a thing as eternity. Trouble doubtless came just as soon as man became incon- stant or false to the spirit of honor
 and truth. That was a good while ago, and man has never become clear visfoned enough to recognize his error and to resume the precepts which en- sure harmony and peace, which are the foundation of true brotherhood Man is great success at creating trouble and makes a hero of himself in suppressing the trouble he has
 made and defending the truths he thinks he has discovered.
 Hero worship is common, and it often leads men to honor men who are not worthy of honor. It is re- garded as a special honor to associate with men who have attained wealth or distinction regardless of their character or their dastardly deeds Weak people become fatterers of the famous and often the infamous that
 they may say they attended a banquet | in their honor and ate at the same | table, as though close; temporary relation of this kind added to them something they can get in TO other
 way, or gave them an enviable ad- vantage over their nsighbors or fel- low citizens, and which other weak
 and unfayored souls actually envy them of. What is greatness, anyway? :?

pity those who become confirmed in the thought that life is 6rudgery. 1t is wicked thought. for it saps the heart of good cheer, and makes a person 'his own worst enemy" Harboring thought of a negative char acter in the mind is like letting weeds grow in the garden from which you hope to harvest edible crops. for 1t deprives every sustaining thought Of sustenance. People who do not want to work and arc compelled to from necessity have invited a condition akin to slavery. The progressive want to work because through work comes achievement, the acquirement of sus- tenance. fortune and fame. There is nothing comes from idleness except decadence. The price of every good thing is occupation on earth and in paradise. Keeping busy Is what keeps poverty from the door and provides protection to the rich. He who has learned to enjoy his work for what there is in it for him has found hap piness. The indolent rich are simply inviting stupidity. welcoming the day which makes life no better than a nightmare.

THE MAN WHO TALKS

It has been safd: s'When passion is on the throne reason is out of doors.' In other words. no one can be in a rage and he sane at the same time. It is folly to meet crisis with fear, for that is when we need be calm and considerate. Recent events have shown that a nation anxious is na- ton wild-a nation suspicious, na- ton receptive to every sense1ess rumor. An atmosphere of suspicion makes all effected 'as deaf as the sea and as nasty as fire" It is, not well to be alarmed, or to get into state of mind because of our approximations; better come upon the more conserva- tive plane where the thought pre- dominates that what is to be will be if 1t never happens" Getting into a passion over disappointment, or ap- prehensions, never yet accomplished one good or favorable thing, for "he who foresees calamity suffers it twice over" Do not let your own thoughts become ntcSe harrassing to you than your opposers can possibly be. It is the part of wisdom to keep cool whatever happens.

In opening the Leonidas mine at

sunk, and lined with steel members;
planking was used for temporary lath-
ing, and replaced later by reinforced

thick, covered the rock, which was ia
conite, hard silicious formation, more
or less broken. Water was found at
80 feet depth, and the flow became
so heavy at 268 feet that a temporary
pump station and stump were cut and
three Prescott pumps placed there.
Four sinking pumps were employed to
'shamble' water to them. At that time
1900 gallons per minute was being
handled, this flow being entirely in
shaft with no levels developed. The
miners were usually working In a foot
or two of water, with more water
pouring upon them. By the time the
shaft was $50 feet deep, 2400 gallons

PAYING DEBTS IN MEXICO.
How Mining Company Liquidated Debt
of $4,000 With $1,000.


I Speaking about the depreciation of
currency in Mexico, Samuel G. Blythe
tells in the Saturday Evening Post of
the experience of mine owner that
he knew. He closed down and came
out early in the troubled period, leav-
ing cyanide valued at $4,000 gold, in a
warehouse in Vera Cruz. He owed in
Mexico, to Mexicans mostly, consid-
eraby more than 100000 pesos, which,
with pesos worth 40 cents, gold, as
they were at that time, made his debt
some 100000 in gold. The European
war came along. Cyanide rose in
value. He made a killing. He sold
his cyanide for 1900 dollars in gold
With that $4,000 he bought Carranza
money at $3.50 a hundred pesos, or
less than cents peso. Inasmuch as
it has been decreed by First Chief
Carranza that Carranza money must
be accepted at par by Mexicans in
payment of all obligations of this
sort, this man paid off debt that
really amounted to 100000 in gold,
for $4,000 in gold, by converting that
$4,000 into Carranza pesos and dis
charging his indebtedness with those.
The Mexicans had to take the 2 cent
money at it's face value. The first
chief had decreed that if they refus-
ed it, they We're guilty of treason to
this magical creator of fiat values.
