Charles Dickens Didn't Admire Boat
and Pilot Had Little Use for
the Novelist.

When the Connecticut river was
more navigable than 1t is today Dick
ems rode by steamer from Springfield
to Hartford. We are to suppose he
got little pleasure from the trip. for in
describing the steamer in his Amerl-
can Notes. he wrote;
II am afraid TO tell how many feet
short this vessel was, or how many
feet narrow. To apply the words
length and width to such measurement
would be contradiction in terms,
Bur | may state that we all kept to
the middle Of the deck lest the boat
should unexpectedly tip over"
But If Dickens was critical Of the
boat, says writer in the Springfield
Republican. the pilot was no less crit
zeal Of Dickens In venting his opinion
of the novelist he characterized him
as a "fussy dude who was afraid to
step I'D on the gangplank for fear It

The soya Bean.

The soya bean is largely used by the
Chinese. The white cheeses you see at
Chinese stores are made of soya bean
curd. In France, a liquid made from
the sOya bean has been used as a milk
substitute. 1t is not good for that
purpose, because, like all beans, It
Is largely starch. The soya bean is
a valuable food, hut It is inferior to
peanuts. They contain much fat
which beans lack.

kNOTTY PROBLEMS

Accident That Contributes to
Death Question Before
State Board.

While the Industrial Accident Board
mad no new cases to come before It FOR
consideration today, the members did
have two knotty questions TO solve.
and which because OF their importance
In tho future were OF moro conse-
aucnce than the ordinary accident
case.
Tho first question arose I'm the recent
death OF John Fisher OF Henry Clay,
who after being injured at the Har-
Ian plant died. While the accident
which happened TO him was not n
fatal one. yet II Is contended that It
had much TO do with his death. The
question the Accident Board Commits
sioners have TO settle Is how much Of
the responsibility for Mr.. Fishers
death was brought on by the accident.
The second question revolves around
tho financial depression OF the last
year. The case is that OF Pietro Cav
l~glio versus tho Worth Steel Com
pany. Cavicglio Ia being paid partial
disability but claims that he should
have mors because he cannot earn ~
much now a. he could before his In
fury. The law says that the compen-

SON was receiving prior 20 tho acci-
dent. But there are rome accident
boards and some states where the fall

Some states have taken the stand that

amount OF compensation In accordance
