rOOr Mr. TOW HCGHxs IDEAL colony at
Rugby, Tennessee, so far as we can
Judge from the conflicting reports that
reach us from time To- time, seems only
too likely to prove one OF those barren
localities" which MARTIN CHUzzLEwIT
and his friend MARX TAPLEY survived,
which Gov. ALLEN, of Ohio, made
famous on an historical occasion, and
which Mr.. OSCAR WILDE presents to US
in a new guise in the form Of "un&issed
kisses"
A recent visitor at the Tessessae set.
Element, vouched for as a man OF sense
and veracity by the New York Times,
says there is a good deal more of lawn
tennis than practical farming going on
at Rugby. The couple Of hundred peo-
pie scattered through the woods are said
to be OF the better sort in point OF edu-
cation and intelligence, bat there is Il
painfully unreal and holiday look about
the whole enterprise. After wandering
through the woods in search OF houses
and settlements our observer STUN
bled upon Il clearing which con-
sisted mainly OF 4 beautifully mown
tennis.ground, where a game was
going on. Upon the hotel piazza the
evening discussions were Of blooded
horses and blOOdel ~: le AMI blcoled
dogs, representatives ot which are to be
found down there in the backwoods.
The best spot in the colony is known as
the English Garden" and is the espe-
Cial property Of the association through
which the colony was started. 1t COM
prises fifteen or twenty acres, and divers
sickly crops were on exhibition there.
The land seems virtually devoid OF real
soil, ami to be largely composed OF dry
yellOwish white sand, slaty and appa-
rentIy everything else than in condition
TO procure a crop. And yet this ENG
lish Garden is said to have been estab.
lished Tor the avowed purpose OF an adj
vertisement Of the capabilities OF the
land. Tomatoes seem to be the only
crop that actually thrived.
Ii these accounts are trustworthy it is
not surprising thst the colonists regard
the prospects of their experiment as not
Of the best. The land is sterile and not |
what the colony really wanted. One |
enthusiast, when asked why they did |
not ego west" and take up fertile land, !
said T. at he and his colleagues had other |
ambitions in life than grasping for gold;
they GiG nor held money getting above |
better thirgs. The natives in the neigh
borhood OF Rugby don't know much |
aboutthe betterthings, butthey intimate
that il the colony was in search of a place |
where il could not "grasp gold, " itcould
not have struck a better spot than
Rugby. The enthusiast above mention
ed further illustrated the impractical
character OF the projectors OF the exper-
iment by saying that "the things dearest |
to the heart OF Rugby were good |
church, good schools, good library and
good society" So they have taken up
bad farming lands in the Wilderness
these well-meaning Englishmen-and
are waiting for the schools and
churches and other blessings to
grow up spontaneously. Boston has
furnished. a library, it seems, so perhaps
the rest will come N time. Meanwhile,
the money is flowing out and none COM
ipg in, and the delightful sport Of lawn

EXTRA SESSION OF THE SENATE

EXTRA 81 SS1ON Or InE SSA' - -
The Washington correspondents again
assert with much positiveness that Sec
ratary BLAINE has q call for an extra
session of the Senate which was duly
signed By the President before this last
RELAPSE, which will be issued in a few
days at most.
1t will be remembered that the Re-
publican members OF the Senate refused
TO allow a President pro ten. to be elect
- at the late session, because the choice
woald have fallen on Democrat-Mr.
BAYARD. Since that time the
Secretary OF the Senate has died, so
there would now be no officer author
lied 10 call that body together and to
preside while new officers could be elect
ed, unless the Senate shall meet before
Vice President ARTHUR becomes Presi-
dent through the death OF Mr.. GAR
FIELD. Therefore, in view OF great prob
ability OF Mr.. GARFIELD's death at an
early day, it is asserted that Mr.. BLAINE
will issue the call anu convene the Ser
ate while the Vice President is compe-
tent TO preside.

THE RAILROAD FIGHT.

The railroad fight appears to be ex-
tending all over The country, 9 war on
passenger rates having broken out IN
the IA West which promises to rival in
bitterness that now raging in the East,
But the indications are that some good
may come out OF this prolonged contest
il may come in two ways: one IS by
demonstrating the TACT to the railroad
companies, and teaching them lesson
they have been slow to learn, that low
fares are quite as profitable as high ones
The telegraph reports are to the enee'
that the Grand Trunk officials are high
" pleased with their present passenger
business from the West. Their low iare'
no doubt too low, is bringing
them thousands of passengers VINO
never would have left their homes at all
had they not been attracted by cheap

v,vipV some five hundred passengers

and besides this large number on these
snscial trains a great many were carried

w.. - I.-.,<, -..i rO-i'-r~ -"
will realize rs much money as they
would had the fare been kept al the old
figures. Extremes are always danger
ous and should be avoided. There is a
point beyond which the roads cannot
safely 90 in the matter OF passenger fares,
but the fact perhaps is being demon
strated, as it has been before, time and
again, that medium low fares are more
profitable than medium high ones.
Another good that is likely to grow
out of this fight is the fact that the sbso'
lutte necessity OF government regulation
and supervision of all railroad traffic Is
being illustrated with renewed force
Mr.. FINK, the Pool Commissioner, who
Is regarded as an able railroad man and
who has made the subject OF railroa'
transportations a study, SAYS the rail
roads are unable to control the most i'm
portant part of their business, that o
fixing rates of transportation, and III
has become convinced ina
their agreements can only b
enforced by law. That is yer,
plain, and it has been illustrated man,
times before, but it is now being proven
with a force that must be convincing t
every person opposed to the regulation
of interstate commerce by national law
A commission to fix the rates OF fare
is quite as important as one to enforc
them, and doubtless would be found L
be so by the companies themselves.
medium low rate OF fares, both for pas
senger and freight traffic, shall be per
manent and changeabIe only alte
due notice that all may make their cal
culations accordingly, is what tn
people want and what will be foun'
most profitable by the Transportation
companies. A disinterested Commits
sion to fix and enforce them could bu
result in mutual good to the public ant
the corporations, whose real interest
are always mutual. There would seem

instantly removed by those musical
words. 81 will forget and forgive"
Excited passions would Quoted and
there would be kind words and
cheerful hearts. We often hear the
expression 81 can forgive, but | can.
not forget" If we truly forgive,
then to forget is q natural result
When we speak of forgetting a wrong
we do not wish to be understood to
say that all remembrance oft is en-
tircly obliterated; but tina. the mind
is so occupied by better-thoughts of
friendship and love that the thought
remains in oblivion until some cir
cumstancc produces u recollection of
it, but when it does recur to the mind
1t has not power to excite any feel
ing Of displeasurc. With such regu-
lation of our thoughts and passions,
our lives Will contain less gloom and
more sunshine. Our hopes NAV be
raised up to the verge of bright real
i2ation; our ambition be made the
highest most ennobling; our faith
be made strong, all bound by the
golden chain Of lovc-the fruitof for.

A valuable Secret.

1t is related Of Franklin that from
the window of his office in Philadel-
phia he noticed mechanic, among
number of others, at work, on
house which was being erected close
by, who always appeared to be in a
merry humor, and who had kind
and cheerful smile for every one he
met. Let the day be ever so cold,
gloomy or sunless, the smile danced
like a sunbeam on his cheerful coun.
tenance. Meeting him one day,
Franklin requested 10 know the Sc
cret Of his constant flow Of spirits.
Its no secret, DOCTOR the man re.
piled. 1pve got one of the best wives,
and when 60 TO work she always
gives me a kind word encouragement
and a blessing with her parting kiss;
and when go home she is sure to
meet me with a smile and a kiss of
welcome; and tea is sure to be ready;
and as we chat in the evening l find
that she has been doing so many lit
tie things through the day to please
me that cannot find it in my heart
to speak and unkind word or give an
unkind word or give an unkind look
to anybody" And franklin adds:
What influence, then, has woman
over the heart Of man, to soften it,
and make it the fount of pure emo
tons. Speak gently, then; a happy
smile and a kind word after the tolls
of the day are over, cost nothing, and
go far toward making home happy
and peaceful.

The education -four youth is sadly

is in closing and fastening doors after
them. Careful observation has salts.
fed US there is no use Of trying to
teach some people that accomplish.
ment. 1t appears to be a natural
and probaly, an inherited inability,
just as with some people there is no
such thing as knowing one tune from
another, as with others it is impossi-
BILE to acquire facility and hardness
in the use Of tools Modern ingenui-
ty has tasked itself to make up to
suffering world for the incapacity or
negligence Of people who never close
u door by the application of weights
or springs that will automatically do
what every man, woman and child
ought to do instinctively. But these
appliances themselves shirk their
duties, and they are not susceptible
universal application.
There ought to be thorough
course Of instruction in our schools
in tho art of shutting doors. The
first lesson would inculcate the ele-
mental and simple duty itself. Boys
and girls should be kept passing a
doorway, each one opening and clos
ing the door for himself and herself
until not mothers son or daughter
of them could leave a door ajar.-
Then the finer features Of the accomp-
lishment might be introduced
There are people who always slam a
door; there are others who hold it
open and close it 50 slowly that whole
procession of diseases, including colds
IN the mead, catarrh, sore throat,
diphtheria, inflammation of the
lungs and the epizootic can march
through, and the mercury of the
thermometer has time to get down
into his boots.
But without becoming too fastidi
GUS it is important that every one
should be taught to close the door
and fasten it in some way. The
amount of time professional man
spends and the distance he travels in
his office, in jumping up and closing
the door after people who neglect that
duty would astonish one who had
never given the matter thought
Be kind enough to shut that door.

How the Early virginians Got
Wives

The history Of the Commonwealth
of Virginia commenced with an auc-
tion sale-or however, in a store,
but beneath the green trees of James.
town, where, probably, the most anx-
ious and interesting crowd Of auc-
ton habitues ever known in the
history Of the world were gather
ed. In letter, will to be seen
dated London August 81, 1921,
and diaected to an early colonist Of
that settlement, the writer begins
by saying: ave send you ship
ment one widow, and eleven maids,
for wives for the people of Virginia.
There has been especial care in the
choice of them, for there hath not
one Of them been received but upon
good recommendations. In case they
cannot be presently married we de-
sire that they may be put with sew
eral housekeepers who have wives
until they can be provided with hus-
bauds."
But the writer Of this epistle had
little reason to fear that any Of the
"maidens fair" would be left over.
The archieves contain evidence to
prove that these first cargoes of Ia.
dies, were put up at auction and sold
forone hundred and twenty pounds
of tobacco each, and it was ordered
that this debt should have proceed
ence over all others. The solitary
"one widow" went along with the
others, for they could not be parti.
cular in those days. The good minis.
ter of the colony no doubt had busy
time that day. He did not mention
any fees, nor did the bridegrooms
think of rendering any. All was joy
and gladness; no storms ahead, no
inquisitive clerk 10 stand and say:
Here's the license; fork over one
dollar" Nothing of the sort.
