Carelessness is the cause of the vaste of millions every vear in cor- porat and business employment, tside of accidental fires. There is not a corporation, or shep, or store, that would not greatly bendfit by more arefulness on the part of employes, which means the stoppage of The general manager of the Chi- cago G Western railroad, acting pon the su stions of Lawyer Bran- deis, hs discovered that care on the part o men tells for efliciency and nomy. After a careful inspection the way things were being done on his line he made the following report welve dozen hand lamps were col- lected, which, when sent to the gen- eral storekeeper's department, were found to need possibly an average of cents’ w h of repairs to make hem again as good as new. It will not be necessary to replace them with new lamps, In ten days four carloads of = plus material were reclaimed.” He follows up this concrete ex- mple general request that every employe join in what is aptly termed a. conservation movement.

NO ARISTOCRACY IN AMERICA. A western editor feels sure there is no place for an aristocracy in this country’s democracy although the idle rich and some others have a manifest ambition to create and be identified with such a class. The reason, he affirms this is, be- cause an istocracy to exist must have a people to respect it, and there are in this land no such people. This is the way he presents his views: “Money alone cannot make gentle- men and gentlewomen. It cannot sup- ply good breeding. where the instinct for it is absent. It can and does give a prominence, a position of aloofness more or less worth while. When mon- keys are entertained at dinner the rich obtain a publicity denied to the organ grinder who divides his crust with his penny-collector. The family skeleton of the Astorbilts is not to be kept in a closet, but to be hung from an upper window and its clattering bones shaken that all may hear. If this is an advantage it is denied the poor. Should a girl in her teens sell herself for millions, the fact is re- corded in the daily papers. Not so in the case of the poor girl who goes wrong. It is just as well, since the prized advertising in one instance con- stitutes shame in the other.” The rich in this country form a class the democracy recognizes as benefi- cial because of their ability to bleed them in every imaginable way. They cannot be made to regard them with honar, only to look upon them as people who have money and should be made to spend it: and labor organiza- tions succeed admirably in making them do it, which the Tich are pain- fully aware of. THE CAUSE OF AN ACCIDENT. There is no telling how little a thing will upset the calculations of men and make what appear fo be safe devices of no account whatever. An accident oceurred in the west lately just at nightfall at a switeh at which the engineer w the purple I vlace. The engineer did not stop because he said he saw no purple light, that it appeared to be iwhite until he was near it and it was too late to stop; and he believed that his powerful elec- tric headlight shining upon the switch s expected to stop because ht signal was in its entirely subdued the warning color, s he could not account for the de- ceptive appearance of the signal in any other way. A strong electric head- light was tried n the signal light to test this theory and it was found that the purple light seemed to be white until it came within two hundred feet of the switch and that the engi- 1 was right. This statement of fact is taken from the report of the interstate commis- sion of commerce, and is reliable, so it discloses for a certainty reasons for such an accident which exonerates the engineer; and, perhaps, more than one engineer has lost his job, or gone to his death, bec se of it, when he was not at all to blame. This shows that some of the devices to increase safety are not what they are reputed to be; and that this relia- ble block tem may have defects which are still to be discovered. There is nothing perfect in this world; and it is not likely that there will ever be a railroad protective teny that is. : Despatehers will make mistakes, trainmen will forget orders or take chances, switchmen will forget to see the switch is set right, searchlights will deceive engineers, engineers over- worked will fall asleep at their post, or men that are color blind will be unable to identify signals. Safety is dependent upon so many things that it has to be admitted, all things con- sidered, accidents are few. EDITORIAL NOTES.

It is singular how an Tring person, or a fool are sometimes sh sprays of foliage the other day for the Cecropias I discovered a whole colony of the Promethea larvae in first stage. socially sitting be- h a leaf, although in the advanced age this caterpillar is solitary in its habits and has no regard for the ex- istence or welfare of its brothers and isters but just goes on alone. These little vellow fellows ringed with tiny black tubercles do not look much like the mature larvae dressed in im- maculate white with coral red and lemon vellow horns upon their back: and living so wide apart in the foliage that they cannot be aware of each other's presence. They pass most of their lives on the wild cherry shrubs not leaving them until they come out of their cocoons in winged form the following year to hunt their mates. Then some of the males fly long dis tances before they are paired. So acute -are their senses they will find a female in a house a mile from their place of exit. They make a very in- ieresting study for amateurs. _ If style did not have greater swa in life than common sense so many | people would nct mertgage their prop- {erty in order to buy an automobile; they would not strain themselves into bankrupicy that they might appear to be something they are not by doing sometning which they cannot afford to do. We all pander more or less to the popular vanities of life, which al- ways appeal to our weakest side. Rochefoucauld says: “It is our own that makes the vanity of others intolerable to us.” See! Eliot points out that “our vanities dif- fer as our noses do: all conceit is not the same conceit, but varies in corre- pondence with the mental make in which one of us differs from another.” We all have 'em, but not to an equal extent, for if we did there would be erty with shin-plasters upon it than now. We have reason to be thankful for the differences in our vanities for this must be the difference between foolishness and common sense. Perhaps you have not noticed that the bird-songs arc growing less and are wholl re that in a week or two now the early migratirg birds will be flocking in the fle!ds and preparing to ieave for their winter momes. I miss the sweet songs of the wrens which used to fill the air with music at in- tervals from sun-up tilt sundown: and the robins are not ziving their lively Iy morning and evening concerts. The real song season of 1911 has closed for these parts and will not again open until s procession is mov- ing alon e phalanses of golden- rod show that the center of the line has been reached—the magnificent peonies and roses have gone by, but the asters and mallows and dahlias and chrysan- themums are still to come. How like a song thefloval season opens and closes with blue vinlets in the spring and the blue gentian after the frosts have de- stroyed the tenderer flowers, giving a sort of beavenly biue, fareweli to flower lovers. What a moving panorama Na- ture is to those who have eyes to see; and why should not all see and admire the beauties set before them daily by their creator The man who thinks of himself as a success seldom becomes a failure, lures usually represent a lack of rowledge.

I don’t want any men around here.” ‘Just then Harry Miller, her nephew, who was spénding his summer vacation with her, passed by them and called out: “Sour grapes, Aunt Eumice; sour grapes!” Then he rushed out of the yard, leaving the gate wide open. Eu- nice followed her guest to the gate to close .it, but to her dismay found the hinge broken. ved from themselves. “There” shé exclaimed, “now the Pyl gate is broken.

Now, Miss Eunice loved to hear praise of her home, and, like all thrif- ty New Englanders, hated to refuse a chance of making money, and she hes- itated a moment to consider the mat- ter.. “What is your business?” she ques- ;ioned‘ “You don't look like an inva- i No,” he smiled. “I am well, but 1 have some writing to do, for which this locality is convenient, and the quiet of your home is an additional inducement.

Cannot you change your mind? | This he proceeded to do by stretching a rope across the gate from side side. “There,” murmured he, “that Wi do for tonight. Nobody ever comes here in the evening, and jt will be mended in the morning. Then, tired with his play, he retired for the night, leaving hisauntalone. She went out to the porch to enjoy an hour in the moonlight before closing the house for the night. Scarcely had she seated her- self, when approaching footsteps re- minded her of her promise to give an answer to the stranger that night, and she began to fortify herself in her de- cision. “Think,” muttered she, “of my tak- ing a man into my house, and above all a pook writer. ‘My floors tracked up with mud and dirt, and I'd never know when I had the house to myself. No, never! Nothing he can say or do will induce me to consent to his being in the house.” The footsteps. had reached the gats, which was in the shade of two tall althea bushes. Another step and the unlucky man_tripped over the rope with which Harry had mended the gate, and fell on the walk. Poor Eunice hastened to his assistance, anxiously inquiring whether he was hurt, for a groan escaped his lips ~ when he tried to rise. His ankle was _evidently badly wrench- ed, and he begged fot a conveyance by which he could return to the village and obtain a docior. “Nonsense!” cried Miss “Harry and I will help you into the house; and I guess I'm equal to a sprained ankle without any doctor's help.” “Harry! Hars down here, quick!” Harry soon came, armed with a club against tramps or burglars, but, toss- ing it aside, he helped the stranger in- to the house,where Miss Bunice proved the truth of her statement, that she needed no doctor’s help. “Lucky I've a spare room on this fioor,” said she. “And the sOomer you are in bed the better.” Eunice. she called. “Come All her thoughts of refusal were for- gotten in her sympathy. “Our own carelessness!” she repeat- ed over and over. “Not a step do you is well, if it is not till Thanksgiving. Harry wilk get all you need from the inn tomorrow. Lucky he was here, for I could not have managed it all. alone.” ‘Well, it was a long time, but Harry willingly helped. He was truly peniy tent for his share in the accident, and also found Mr. Johnson a very delight ful friend. The book proved to e al scient inice’'s relief, and she found great en- joyment in her guest, who had traveled widely and profited by what he had seen. Long before the literary work was completed Miss Eunice found herself dreading the loneliness of the approaching winter as never before. Mr. Johnson, to discovered that her companionship was 'a great pleasure to him, and the community was elec- trified to hear that Eunice Miller had consented to wed the stranger. The marriage took place at Thanks-| giving. Harry was called from his city] home to act as best man, usher an general helper. T made the match,” he asserted, and no_one disputed him. “That blessed boy!” said his aunt. “I'll have him here every summer, see if T don’t.” And his newly made uncle beamed a cordial consent. s AN IDLER. of the soul; and that we are all endow- ed with a garden to cultwate; and the fact that the earth cannot be culti- vated without cultivating the mind to some extent, indicates that this figure is not far-fetched. It is profitable to work in the garden of the mind. Most people are dwelling in a grumpy mood most of the time although few will accept such a statement without having some proof of it offered. Fur- nishing the proof is not half the task it is supposed to be when the reader <alls to mind that most people think they are not getting the happiness out of life they are entitled to. It is ap- parent enongh to a clear thinking person ‘that we are only entitled to the happiness we can get out of life. Our happiness does not depend upon Tom, Dick and Harry, but upon our- selves; and we are sitting on the lawn of Neighbor Grump the moment we let our minds cogitate in this way. No man can be happy who is thinking he isn’'t. It is not what we have: but what we enjoy that creates happiness. One great author declares, “no person is so happy or miserable as he imagines he is.” In other words we are prone to deceive ourselves, anyway. Happi- ness is not an aim in life; but the building of a character which produces happiness is. It should be always re- membered that “happiness is a rum- ning stream, not a stagnant pool.” SUNDAY MORNING TALK BURN YOUR OWN SMOKE.

An atmosphere so polluted is not good to breathe or to live in. One's collar becomes disreputable before half the day is done. Tame and fortune await the inventer of a successful and eco- nomical smoke consumer. If we cannot yet instal such devices in the factories of the land we can, each of us, instal one nearer home. Kach can refrain from making a moral | smudge in his own immediate vicinity. | We can be careful not to darken the jair with the smoke of our complaints, our douBts and our fears. A good woman of my acquaintance had a depressing effect on those who called upon her because she insisted on talking always of her physical trou- bles. She fairly exhaled the hospital atmosphere. Thers was no doubt of her genuine discomforts but one wished she might have kept them a bit in the background. Some courageous re- straint- along this line would actually have benefited her health. She needed that stirring word of Emerson, “Oue topic is peremptorily forbidden to all rational mortals, namely, their dis- tempers. If you have not slept, if you have the headache or leprosy or a thunder stroke, I beseech you by all the angels to hold your peace and not pollutc the morning. Come into the azure and love the day.” In the case of some people our powers of sympathy are severely taxed. We have listéened many times to the story of their misfortunes. We hear their trials almost every time we meet them. Ag loyal friends we are glad that the very act of this un- burdening may bring them relief. But we wish we might see them sometimes | in the attitude of courage and of cheer. 1t seems almost the abuse of friend- ship €0 make it mereiy the occasion for pouring forth one’s wees. _Those who scatter doubts and pes- simistic notions about the great facts i of faith or the worth of human nature are doing society an injury. Even if we have inner questionings ourselves it is not always necessary to parade { them openly. “Tell me of your be- liefs, T have doubts enough of my own,” said one who needed all the impulse that a genuine faith could give him. The cry is re-echoed by thousands of God's children bearing the burden and heat of the day. We all need encouragement, cheer, radiant and hopeful convictions. Scatter these gifts, then, so far as it is in your power to do so. Be unwilling to cloud the sky of another with gloomy fore- bodings. Let vour light hine rather than your darkness and men shall call vou blessed. 2 There are people, like the Apostle Paul, whose lives have been battered and twisted but whose spirits ‘are radiant as tae, sun.
