IF WE KNEW.

Could we but draw back the curtains
That surrounds each others lives,
Bee the naked heart aud spirit,
Know what spur the action gives,
Often we should find it better,
Purer thnn we judge we should
We should love each other better
five only understood.
Could we judge all deeds by motives,
See the good and bad within,
Often we should love the sinner
All the while we loathe the sin.
Could we know the powers working
To o'erthrow integrity,
We should judge each others errors
with more patient charity.
IL we knew the cares and trials,
knew the effort oil in vain,
And tho bitter disappointment
Understood the loss and grim
Would the grim, external roughness
Seem, ! wonder, just the same?
Should we help where now we hinder?
Should we pity where we blame?
Ali we judge each other harshly,
Knowing not Hes hidden force;
Knowing not the fount OF action
Is less morbid at it's source.
Seeing not amid the evil
All the golden grains OF good;
OH we'd love each other better
II we only understood

Rates on Chimneys, Cut Glass and Electric
Bulbs Have Been Advanced.
The new joint official classification of the
Central Traffic and Trunk Line Associa-
tions was issued yesterday. 1t will go into
force April 10. There are some changes
that will affect Pittsburg. principally in the
rates on glass. There has been a slight ad-
vance on several makes and varieties.
Glass chimnevs have been pushed up from
second and third class to the first and third.
Cut glass, electric light bulbs, street lamp
globes in packages have been made double
first. This means that there is no difference
in the rate whether in car or less than car
lots. Lanterns have also been advanced from
the second to the first class. There has been
no change in the bottle rate, out a slight
concession was made. Hereafter the mini
mum weight will be 10000 pounds instead
of 24.000. That is, for example, if shipper
has q, 900 pounds in a car, he need not pay
for "a 600 as formerly.
The iron and steel classification remains
about the same. A few inches has been
added to allow for the box in shaftings 20
feet long. Under the old classification if
the bar with the box was a few inches longer
than 20 feet treble rate was charged for the
difference, and as shaftings Sre seldom made
less than 20 in length, the manufacturers
generally had to pay the beavy rate.
