necessarily meant discontinuance of the traffic
over the lines of the Pennsylvania road al
though 1t is claimed by the Pennsylvania rail-
road officials that these rates would not have
been prohibitory. The trunk line rates from
New York to Buffalo, Pittsburg, Wheeling,
Parkersburg, etc, and intermediate points are:
Firstclass, 43 cents; secondclass 35 cents: third
class 26 cents fourth-cass, 20 cents; fifth-class
10 cents. The local rates sought to be imposed
by the Pennsylvania railroad from New York to
Baltimore are: First-class, so cents; second
class 40 cents; third class, % CENTS fourth class
20 cents. Thus, on all business for ponts west
OF Baltimore and to Parkersburg and Wheeling
inclusive. the Baltimore g. Ohio would have per-
formed the service of transportation for moth
ing, or less than nothing. On Chicago business,
about two-thirds of the entire rate would have
been absorbed by the Pennsylvania railroad for
200 miles haul, leaving one-third for the 800
miles from Baltimore. The claim of the Penn

be technically correct, but practically the notice
could have but one effect.

A Cabin 800 Years Old.

Upper Darby township. Delaware
county, Pa, boasts OF real old-time
log cabin, and tradition says that it
was at one time occupied by an English
peer and afterward the home of an In
dian chief. 1t is on the property Of
Thomas Kent. the well.known manu-
facturel, and is only a short walk from
Philadelphia and Baltimore pike.
IL has stood there for over three hun
dred years, and history says was built
by an English nobleman, who, with a
number Of friends, came to this coun-
try on a hunting expedition and select
ed the site as their headquarters. AZ
ter the Englishmen returned to their
native shores IL was occupied by chief
of one or the Lenni tribe of Indians for
many years, until at last, by the advent
Of the pale faces, the red man was com.
PEELED to move toward the setting sun.
The log cabin is in a remarkably
good state of preservation, and excel
lent workmanship Is displayed in its
construction. The cellar is very deep
and is DIVIDED into many apartments
and recesses, supposed to have been us
ed as the place where the Englishmen
stored their old wines and liquors, and
some queer looking old bottles and
casks are to be seen on the shelves. The
cabin at present is occupied by ali aged
couple, who keep a little candy store
and also charge small commission fee
to those who are curious enough to
see the interior of the old structure.

Underclothing.

Many outwardld fastidious persons,
who would shrink with horror at the
idea Of wearing soiled shirt front, and
no matter what thee Expense might be
would change collars and cuffs every
day, will wear their underclothing two
weeks without being washed. The
Psychologist, aware at all times OF the
insensible perspiration and the con-
slant passage of effete matter through
the pores, would say'that it were much
more sensible, if needs be, to wear the
white shirt two weeks and have the
one next to the skin changed at least
twice week. IL you see the point we
have done our duty and you will proba-
bly, continue the old style, blockadlng
the drainage from the system, prepar-
ing yourself to easily take colds or 9TH
er diseases. We would prefer as close
companion or bedfellow, coal HEAVIER
or railroad paddy who performed his
abolutions daily and changed at night
for calico shirt, to hundreds of per-
sons in the higher walks of life, who
wear unsoiled external linen, bathe
once in two weeks and in the mean
time permit the exhallations from the
body to accumulate on their flSnnels.

What Children Should Eat.

Few things are so difficult to man
age as the dietary of our little ones.
Love leads us quickly to the conclusion
that what they like is best for them ;
and SO we say, yes, yes, yes, certainly
my darling. certainly /; poor dear he
shall have what he wants. This gush-
ing indulgence leads straight to bad
breath, rotton teeth, pale face, dyspep
sia, bowel disease, and death. l have
not one doubt that large part of these
misfortunes of childhood come from
the table. Every block has its candy
store, every house its table covered
with sweet, lnnutritious stuffs, A diet
Of grains, good bread, milk, and fruits,
would leave the chld's breath sweet,
teeth white, its digestive machine
healthy, its health good. 1t is too bad
that our American children should be
so treated. The child Of the New
World is worth ten times as much to
the race as a child in Asia. American
children ought to be well used they
may haYe a glorious future. We are
killing them off by the hundred thous-
and with our amiable sacchariue indul-
gences. Practically it is equivalent to
a conspiracy against the welfare of the
country to turn these little ones loose
among cakes, candies and sweetmeats.
Parental indulgence is the largest OBJ
stacle in the pathway of American
childhood.
