Although some of our railway trains at
tain high degree of speed the average
rate of speed in this country is lower than
1t Is in England. This is psrtly due to
the inferiority OF the roadbed and the
sharpness and frequency of curves. but on
our best roads the trains are handicapped
by the heavy Pullman cars. On some of
the fastest American trains the Pullman
car is used extensively. 1t is enormously
heavy. and 1t carries few passengers in
comparison with its size and weight. As
q rule the Pullman car carries only from
80 to IS passengers. II occupies about as

HERAT.
The Significant Etymofogy of What Is De-

The Significant Etymo1Ogy of What rs De-
nominated the Most Splendid City in the
World.
The town of Herat has several names
in Persian. 1t is called Hiri, Hira,
Hiriva and Hirat. The dialect of the
country and native thereof are both
called Hiravi, and anything belonging
to the district is styled Hiriva. All
these words take their origin from the
sound hir or har, akin to the Bengali
word ar-ya, "a husbandman, and the
Sanskrit ar-ya, "the Hindu par-excel-
lence, or agriculturist, as opposed to
the nomad. Ar means to pillow, and is
the same as the old English verb to ere
Iatin errare, to err, to go), and it was
the source not only of the word agra,
as applied to the Hindus, but of Iran,
the name of Persia itself, and of Aria,
the district of Herat, which must thus
have received its very name on account
of its abundant fertility and agricul-
tural resources.
The origin of Herat can be traced far
into antiquity. To the ancients. the
province of which it is the capital was
known as Aria and Ariana. The name
was, in the course of time, gradually
changed to Herr, a name which still
survives in the river flowing to the
south of it, Herirud, the river of Herr
and the latter to Herat. Tradition hal
brought here Nebuchadnezzar and Sem
iramis. There can be no doubt that i
was the gate through which Alexander
the Great passed to the conquest o
India.
Eastern proverbs give an idea of tn,
estimation in which Herat is held in tn
oriental mind. "Khorasom, run
one, sis the oyster shell of the world
and Herat is the pearl. Which is tn
most splendid city in the worldP !

WHO is THE RICH MANI

'Tis not the man of wealth alone,
Tho richer far is he
Than all the Goulds and VanderbiltS
Here or beyond the sea;
Tho he possess the world itself,
With all its mines of gold,
And all the planets in the sky
That telescopes unfold.
He yet is poor, If this be all
HAw poor can not say
Perhaps he might change places with
The beggar by the way,
True riches are not wealth and fame,
Those base, unhallowed things
That come with slow, uncertain steps
And go on eagles wings.
That man ia rich who's rich in love,
Who loves his brother man;
Who loves his country and his God,
And does the best he can.
Whose soul is filled with light and truth
And humble, child-like trust;
Whose wealth is that of character,
That ages can not rust.
Such wealth as this he will not leave
: When breaks the golden bowl"
But keep for aye his JOY and bliss
While lives his deathless soul.

they were married February 9Th, 1881,

house, said "he came to wind up the
clock" has been held for purjury in
swearing that she was not married, or
rather that she was single woman
when she registered to vote under the
Edmunds law in 1882.
1t further appears that Aggie voted
at elections in 1882, 1924. If she
was married, as she says she was in
1881, to save Young from coming under
the Edmunds law on his examination
for polygamy, by placing the marriage
before the passage of the law, she COM
mitted purjury. But what does Royal
Young carer He may have taken great
pleasure in winding up Aggie's clock,
but when his own liberty was at stake
he could see her commit perjury and
60 to prison to save himself from the
penalties OF polygamy. This shows
that polygamists regard woman as a
mere chattle. If this woman goes to
prison there are dozens of other women
just as good for Young as Aggie Nc
Murrin, and as long as his lecherous
heart can make women bear his crimes
he is happy.

SWITZERLAND is spunky little re-
public, and doesn't propose to have any
dynamite outrages in her borders, while
she opens her arms to fugitiyes from all
over Europe, so long as they behave
themselves. A few days ago a threat
was made 10 destroy the Federal Palace
and the Council at Berne, unless that
body should enact certain Legislation
bearing on Anarchists. The cOmmum-
cation was received by the Council
when in session, and in twenty minutes
a joint resolution was passed command
ing the officers of the law throughout
the republic to expell from Swiss soil
every man and woman fairly shown to
be an Anarchist, and ten men have al
ready been escorted to the border.
