THE NEW RAVENS PROPERTY.

It is safe to say as Attorney General Daugherty goes back to Washington af- ter hearing from those interested at Hartford and Boston and consulting with Judge Mayer in New York that ka-i is in much better touch with the situation than he would have been had he remain ed in Washington and endeavored to get hold of the facts from what has gone before
 Without dissenting voice there Is a desire on the part of the people of Con- necticut that there should be restora- ton of the trolley lines to the New Ha- ven road and the trusteeship in that re- speet discharged. As to the Boston & Maine stock held by the New Haven amounting at the present time 10 2S Per cent there are those who claim they de- sire. to and can buy it. They are Boston & Maine stockholders who probably hope to get at a bargain price when cost the New Haven road $40 a share.
 It isn't to be supposed that the return of the trolleys or the return of the ,Bos- ton 6 Maine stock would remove all the difficulties of the New Haven road. It SIOuIl NDI b6 dut4ClPdl6u t4ieib IL HCN1N' help the trolley lines any more than what is now being paid to the trustees would go to the operation of the lines or the meeting of the indebtedness to the state. but what would be gained through the return of the properties to the New Haven would be putting it in possession of what 1t owns and giving {t an Orpnort11nfty to use such for the pur- pose Of borrowing additional sums. Just why it should not have these securities to pledge at this time is difficult to see. One attorney general was opposed to ac- ton against the road such as resulted In the trusteesh:ns A successor took the view which brought about govern
 ment prosecution and now it remains to ! be seen if the present one hasn't been convinced that the existing situation is
 unjust. There cah be no denying the
 fact that the New Haven needs the help | Of favorable decision.

READ YOUR CHARACTER By Digby Phillips.
 Copyrighted 1891
Curved Backs

The curved back is one of the minor signs of character, and by it is meant specifically the back that curves in at the waist
 This kind of back according as it's indication is supported or neutralized by other characteristics, shows a per son who is slow of thought and quick CT of action; who acts upon impulse and then thinks it over afterward: one who is rather open to emotional i'm pressions, and in whom the element of stubbornness is lacking; a person easi- Iy persuaded and one who as a rule is content to be a follower rather than 9 leader; man or woman of sympa- thetic nature, tactful and diplomatic; more easily led by appeals to emo tions than by reasoning.
 As 9 rule these people have fine sensibiiities, Thei feelings are rather more easily hurt than with the ay- craze person.
 But, as stated before, the curved back is one of the minor characteris- tics, and if it is contradicted by more characteristics than support it, it is not, of course a decisive indication.
 But on the average you'll find that people with curved backs show the foregoing characteristics in greater or less degree.

territory and it's possibilities in the way of supplying pulp wood.
 Forester Greeley declares in his report that Alaska contained 20 millions acres of national forests and over 75 billion feet of timber. suitable for general con- sumption. It includes 100 million cords of pulp wood, whose seryiceabillty for the manufacture of paper is fully estab- lshed by existing commercial practice. Tn connection with this feature Forester Greeley declared that Wisely handled, paper industry can be developed in Alaska az permanent as the paper in- dustries of Scandinavia and capable of supplying & third of the present paper consumption of the United States
 Thus the paper supply of the country may not be as near the bottom as one might think from past statements. Pulp wood in Alaska, however, is different than in New York, New England or other points in. the country. It will require much development, ran and water trans portation and necessary regulations. but the opportunities afforded by Alaska in this direction are not being overlooked, for two sales of pulp timber. aggregat- ing roc million feet, have been made and others are pending. This doesn't in- dicate that the replacement of pulp tim Der at points where paper industries arc now located can be disregarded but 1t gives an indication Of the resources that remain to be drawn upon and the future Of Alaska in this respect.

1000 miles; but their total coast line, counting that on the Indian ocean is many times that figure. China's coast line, too, is screened by Japan. It amounts to about 1000 miles. French Indo-China, behind the Philippines has a coast line of about 1000 miles on the China sea.
 "On the eastern side of the Pacific. Mexico has g coast line of more than 2,0O0 miles, while that of Chile is more than 2,500 miles. The aggregate Pacific coast line of the remaining LatinAmeri- can countries amounts to about $500 miles.
 But it is the small scattered islands controlled by these bordering nations that constitute the cruX of the Pacific prob lem. Practically all the islands in the Pacific proper are under the control of Great Britain. France, the United States and Japan. All of the French and most of the British holdings are situated south of the equator, leaving the United States and Japan in close competition above that line. Guam is practically surround ed by newly acquired Japanese islands formerly owned by Germany, and Jap anese lands-sAirt the Philippines on three sides. The United States is not large holder of Pacific islands but 1t owns the group which is by far the most important atcgically-Hawai."

 But it's going toNbe such funw in- sisted his wife. Serena says that after they had made out the list of farm ma chinery necessary her husband saliied thrasher or anything like that but with , double barreled shotgun. He said all his life he had wanted to own a shotgun and never had any use for one, but now he had it. He didn't say what he ex- pected to shoot with it, but Serena hadn't the heart to discourage him. She said it would be handy marking double fur rows in the pansy bed if for nothing else. Every night when he comes home to din- her he brings something that he has run across that witl be so fire for him to wear on the farm. Up to now he has two corduroy suits and dozens of khaki trou- sers and hip boots and lots of rubber ponchos for himself and his guests''
 ''so not pn your lifer' said her husband sternly. "A man with a new farm is lots worse than the proud father of a new child, and nothing would. lure me into being guest at the Black ranch Peo- pie in his condition make you get down on your knees to see how the radishes are sprouting or to measure the growth of the green beans from the day before. They take you Into inclosures where en- ragged chickens flop ail over you or make you sit on haystacbs which climb down your vest and your ears unless a brows- ing COW swallows you in two bits absent mindedly. They are always requesting you to sob joyously over the new gaso- line motor or the enewly dug ditch for the tiling drain-and just when you have finished supper and think now you can begin to enjoy yourself they yawn and say goodnight, it's bedtime: hope you sleep well"
 Strawberries as big as eggs and Jer- sey cream that you have to cut. with fresh butter and green peas just picked. ? remarked his wife meditatively with one eye on him.

TIE SHIPPING PROBLEM.

In hE message at the opening of the sooond session of the 67th congress Pres dent Harding indicated that he would -sye something Co say in regard to the merchant marine at a later time that 0uid argue it's own good points
 On the occasion of his address in NIil- 'T7-hse concerning the merchant marine Chairman Lasker of the shipping board declared that his address had been sub Sr5l ts tts president and had his ap- r.rsL While this may not be sufficient 5-.-aI fer believing that what the pres 1e-t has In mnd to lay before congress
 just what Chairman Lasker told to --@ people of Milwaukee it is fair to pre- -1ne that they bear a close resemblance. That The address is the forerunner of -l- treatment of this subject in a spe- e1. message to congress by the presi- .Ht not improbable
 Chairman Laszer in presea ing his t-sHs -u the need of @ merchant marine stressed rhe point that to insure it tq -r. country provisions should be made '-ag private operators should get a P-1d. and that he market created would more than offset the direct or indirect subsidy.

 Miss A was poor student in class put usually she made her grade from her final examination.
 When she came up for examination ln one subject the teacher watched her closely. She saw her pouring over an open text book which she held in her lap.
 Her paper was examined and ie> was realized that she had copied her work word for word from the text book
 She was asked to remain after the others had gone and was told: Miss A, you copied your examination answers from Browns text book''
 Oh, no, you are mistaken she said, as she looked the teacher straight in the eye, T copied it from Jones' textbook. ?

T wish you'd buy farn,' said the lady who was given to jumping to con cluslons. ''The Blacks are moving out to one next month where they intend tol make their home and millions of dollars and saw the pictures of the house today It is going to 6e grand and Serena eX- plained all about their vegetabel gar dent
 Did she now!'' temporized her hus- band war!ly. "Wel1, I came home in the same car with Black tonight and we had almost one end of it to ourselves, because there wasn't room for anything besides ourselves and Blacks packages. He had one thirty-f1ve pound bundle which caused him to sag on the right side like a sink ing warship and several swung from the other hand which must have totaled near ly as much. I asked him whether all the delivery motors had struck. and he ex- plained that the truck was seeds. He had thirty-fve pounds of grass seed to make a noble lawn in front of his new farmhouse and the remainder was to sup ply the flowers and vegetable gardens.
 He had the wild light of the enthusi-- ast in his eye and I took him firmly by the coat lapels. See here I asked care fully in simple words, will you tell me why you didn't buy your seed in the town five miles from your farm, instead of Juggling it clear from Chicago?'
 Black looked blank for minute and then frightened. Why, you sec he ex- plained, mopping his forehead we got to looking over a catalogue and we couldn't wait, II seemed rather nicer to have them right awayr
 Now I hope you aren't asking me to get in the condition of poor Black I give you my word that boy had sufficient vegetable seed there to supply all of Chicago easily. If all those flower seeds live and prosper our park system will have nothing 9n the Black farm I point ed out to him that the onions alone would cause him to arise at a. m. because onions always are at the state where they have to be. weeded out or thinned or en- ceuraged some way And as for beets- say, I remember when my uncle planted two rows of beet seed careIessIy and with insouciance, and all the rest of the sum ner he spent thinning them out.

GUARDING THE SHIPS
 AGAINST THE IcEBERGS

Coast guard cutters were scouting the North Atlantic all summer So pas sengers and crews of ships sailing in northern seas might sleep without fear that an iceberg will creep up on them in the night.
 These floating white castles Of the North with their fantastic glamour threatening, Manufacturing portent sometimes wander down to latitude SS degrees-as far south as such sunny climes as Lisbon in Portugal or the shores of Delaware Bay" says a bull letin of the National Geographic Soci- ety, from it's Washington, D. C., head quarters.
 ''The icebergs which are to be seen during the early spring months in the Atlantic are great frozen fresh water glacier lends which have broI en loose from the ice fields of Greenland and floated with the current into warmer
 seas. They herd quite often off the coast of Newfoundland. The warm wa ters of the northwestern coast of Eu- rope keep them back on that side as far north as 70 degrees. TheEe are few of them also in the North Pacif- ic except near northeastern Asia.
 "Gorgeously tricked ou4 n white that gleams and sparkles in the sun light,> these monster palaces push out from the great sheet of ice that cov- CTS Greenland. No architectural feat of the ancient Egyptians or the By zantines, or of a Sir Christopher Wren can compare with the Karnaks and hundreds of other temples which are carved in their sides by the agents Of erosion. No marble possesses the rain bow like tints of their columns. and no man made edifice has so fairy like. capricious, and bizarre a character. The whole gamut of blues ana greens plays hide and seek over their sur face, and sometimes in summer little cascades, tumble over the sides to hide themselves. in the waves. But their ghostIike emptiness and the chill of their breath make mariners shiver with dread.
