55,OoO Loaded Freinht Cars.

At one time there were 55, ,0OO loaded freight cars on the New Ravens lines and from 10000 to 13,00O on the other lines waiting to come into New Eng land over the New Ravens tracks. Not only was the New Haven swamped with business, but most New England manufacturers, especially those in Con- nectiCut, found themselves in the same predicanent. Many manufacturers were without adequate capacity and their inability to promptly unload cars, together with the New Ravens s lack of adequate terminal facilities, led to the serious congestion on the New Haven's lines. This serious cOnges- tion was a severe detriment to the New Haven for the reason that it led to heavy financial loss through de- mUrrage charges. In other words, in order to accommodate the manufac- turers, the New Haven was compelled to try to do gallon of business with a gill of facilities.
 The cOngested conditions at the present time are somewhat better, not much. The New Haven has on it's lines today 45,000 loaded freight cars, it's complete capacity, and on other lines waiting to come in are 5000 additional loaded cars. This state of affairs, it was remarked yesterday, cannot be very much improved until the Neg Haven can find the money to increase it's terminal facilities in southern New England.

Terminals Must Be Improved.

It is very. frequently stated that most of the yard terminals of the New Haven were laid out when the company was doing 50 per cent. less business than it is called upon to do today; and it is a prime essential that these terminals be improved as rapid ly as possible.
 The great business boom in New England started about a year ago. Tie New Haven then had many idle engines and many idle freight cars. Even as late as Aug. l, 1915. the New Haven road had 200 engines in apple pie order laid up on sidetracks with nothing to do. Then this business this wonderful business, started Within month or two the New Haven was sWamped with business. Because of the shortage of motive power, Presi- dent Elliott telegraphed to every rail road executive east of Chicago and Pittsburgh in an effort to lease addi- tiOnal locomotives. He also telegraph cd to Sir Thomas Shaughnessy. the Canadian Pacific, and as result he was able to obtain only 23 additional engines

Rlqht Childhood.

The first character Of right child
hood is that it is modest. A well-bred
child does not think it can teach its
parents, or that it knows everything.
1t may think its father and mother
know everything, perhaps that all
grown people know everything; very
certainly it is sure that it does not.
And it is always asking questions,
and wanting to know more. Well,
that is the first character of a good
and wise man at his work. To know
that he knows very little; to perceive
that there are many above him wiser
than he; and to be always asking
questions, wanting to learn, not to
teach. No one ever teaches well who
wants to teach, or governs well who
wants TO govern; it is an old saying
(Plato's, but / know not If his, first)
and as wise as old.-From "A Grown
OF Wild olives" by John Ruskin.

1t now appears practically certain
that the issue over the nomination of
Louis D. Brapdeis to the supreme
court of the United States is to be
fought out in the senate without
recommendation from the judiciary
committee, which has considered and
investigated the case for more than
three months. There are l8 members
of the committee, ten democrats and
eight republicans. All of the repub-
lians are opposed to the confirmation.
Two democrats are said to be strongly
against il and two favor areport with
out recommendation. These two are
urging the compromise for which the
other democrats may have to vote tc
prevent adverse action.

Edible Flowers.

In some regions of eastern Europe it
is the custom to mix violets, roses
and lines with sweetmeats in order
to impart a floral tincture to the taste
of fruit. In turkey sweets are made
of carnations, lilies and lavender.
Floral sandwiches are made in Greece
and Turkey with nasturtiums, most
edible flower that grows in most warm
and temperate climates in profusion.
Sandwiches are also made of pepper
mint finely ground and spread over
thinly-sliced radishes between even
more thinly-sliced and buttered bread.
1t is said that the dahlia furnishes an
excellent food, although somewhat
acrid. In the kitchens of China and
Japan flowers are almost as much in
use as are vegetables in the prepare
ton Of rare dishes.

FISHES rREMBLE WITH FEAR
Inhabitants Of Water, Il Is Asserted,
Show the Same Emotions as
Do Domestic Pets.

To most people whose opportunities
for observing fish life are limited to
occasional visits to an aquarium, the
thought rarely occurs that these finny
Inhabitants Of the water are capable
Of as many varied emotions as are our
domestic pets, the cat and dog, says
Popular Science.
In an account of the investigations
conducted by DR.. Francis Ward, an
English zoologist, into the behavior
and life of fish in their natural en-
vironment. the following appears:
I'VE are accustomed to think that
only we humans become pallid with
fear or agitated with Joy. But some
experimentsswith perch in the artifi-
cial pond show that when their repose
Is suddenly disturbed by tapping on
the glass, the fish visibly tremble and
the bars which are characteristic OF
this species actually disappear for the
time being only to reappear when the
disturbance is removed and the equa-
nimity OF the fish is restored.
Sometimes a pike that is rapidly
advancing on his prey becomes suspi-
cious about the latter's character. The
pursuer will suddenly stop, in an at
titude of doubt. his back win arch and
he will remain suspended as though
studying the cause of his suspicious.
Only when he is thoroughly treasured
does he become rigid, to advance to
the final attack; If his suspicion is not
allayed he drops to the bottom Of the
pond or swims of In disappointment"

Laughter.

We talk much about wholesome
food, fresh air, pure air, the absence
Of infection, and other hygienic sub
jects. But whoever heard Of organ
lied attempts to promote laughter?
OF course such endeavors are not
often needed, but, really, there is hard
ly a thing that helps so much to pro-
mote health as does good, honest,
wholesouled laughter.
Laughter blows away foolish no
lions, sweeps out the blues, shakes up
the dry bones, stirs new life into every
corner of the brain. Laughter fills the
lungs with new air and blows out the
old; opens the eyes to distorted view
points; clears the way for better logic
with new basis; uncovers multitude
Of sins. Laughter is the friend of the
world; laughter is the only absolutely
human characteristic. l mean, the
laughter of humor and genuine fun.
ut is true that some animals make
faces and noises; that is about what
some supposedly human folks call
laughter, too.)
Promote laughter; not giggles, mol
smiles, nor sarcastic grins, but laugh
ter-honest, funny, side-splitting, rib
twisting, friend-making laughter. Sc
shall you be also friend of the world
and partner of gods. "-Osteopathic

Learn to Seek Happiness.

There are many people who seem to
think that happiness is a thing, like
house or n dream. that you can get
hold of and keep, as If 1t were a pos
session of your own. It isn't. You
have to work for II as you work for
other desirable qualities. And you
have to keep on working. Teach your
self to respond to everything lovely
or cheerful, to see beauty, to enjoy
the society OF other persons, to de-
light in work, to find enthusiasm in
play. Teach yourself interest in the
struggles and hopes Of others; the
sort Of interest that is Of use, that is
help. Learn to enjoy the many lit
tie things. that turn up day by day.
Make the most of your own mind, your
own capacities. Don't sit around pom
dering whether you are happy or not,
whether or not life is worth living.
Live it thoroughly; keep awake to all
the wonder of it, and you'll be happy
without knowing 1t at first, until you
have gone along far enough to realize
what happiness is. Except in times
of real tragedy and great suffering,
happiness, in some at least of its my
Rad forms, is possible; is duty in
deed.

GIVES WARNING or DANGER
Safety Device That II Is Said Has
Been Tried Out With satisfao-
tory Results.

A device that gives warning and
stops the machinery when any belt OF
rope is about 20 break is now being
used in number OF Idaho mines, says
the Illustrated World. II continued
use proves 1t to be satisfactory the de-
vice is expected to find place as
part of the safety equipment on all
belt or rope-driven machinery
The device is able to detect acct
dents before they occur because of the
fact that the breaking cable always
starts first with parts of a worn
strand, and in the case of q belt with
parting of the lacing. The device de-
tects the loose strand or lacing by
means of delicate feeler rod of thin
wire supported from a pivoted bar in
such a way that only narrow space
intervenes between the feeler rod or
wire and the whirring rope or belt
drive. AS the Strand vr iacins unrav-
els it hits the feeler wire, and the
wire Tits the delicately balanced bar
upon which 1t is supported. fitting
the bar starts the safety mechanism.
This bar has at it's end a hook
which normally is engaged with a
notch In cam roller. and when the
bar tits the hook is withdrawn from
the cam roller. The roller Is equipped
with weight suspended from it by
cord. When the roller is released the
cord unwinds and the weight drops
into a glass cage. where 1t is caught
and falls between two metal bands ar
ranged In a V-relation, but having
their ends spaced a little apart. These
bands are the terminals of an electric
circuit and the weight, when it is
caught, completes the circuit. A warn
ing bell operated by the electric cir.
cult is rung.

Light on His Trouble.

One dark night three friends were

of which were very precipitous. AS
the party had been imbibing a little
too freely, one Of the three had to be
assisted up the incline. When, think.
ing him safe at the top, his friends
turned him loose, he fell to the bot
tom. He lay very still, and the other
Two, supposing him severely injured,
rushed down to him. AS they leaned
over to discover his condition, the
iallen one exclaimed: For Gods sake,
strike match! think I'm uncon
ous!"-Everybody's Magazine.
