What number of idle, useless young

| They never take hold Of the drudgery
the repusive toll, which each son Of
Aiam should perform in this world. They
know nothing of domestic duties they
have no habit of industry. no taste for

art. They are in the streets not III the
performance of their duty or for the
acquisition of health, but to see and to be
seen.
They expect to pick up husband who
will promise to be as indulgent as their
parents has been, and support them in idle
ness. They who SOW the wind in this way
are sure to reap the whirlwind. No life
can be exempt from care. How mistaken
an education do these girls receive who
are allowed TO imagine that life is to be
always a garden of roses. Labor is great
law of our being. How worthless will
she prove who is unable to perform il!
1t has been observed that by far the
greatest amount of happiness Ill civilized
life Is found in the domestic relations, and
most of these depend on the home habits
OF the wife and mother. What a mis-
take Is then made BY our young girls and
their parents when domestic education is
unattended to. Our daughters should be
taught practically to cook. to arrange the
table, to wash and iron to sweep. and to
do everything that pertains to the order
and comfort Of the household. Domestics
may be neces- airy, but they are a necessary
evil: and the best help" a woman can

never called to labor for herself. she should
at least know how things ought to be
done so that she cannot be cheated by her
servants.

preliminary railroad agreement, q docu-
meut of only three or four pages, must
finally stand or fall by the interpreta-
ton ultimately given to the clause OF the
interstate commerce act prohibiting pool
ing. Mr.. Gould and his associates have
good legal advice that the division of
traffic 10y tonnage management is not
pool within the meaning of the prohibi-
ton of the Interstate commerce act. A
money pool, the legal gentlemen say, is
forbidden. a division OF traffic, or
''routine' of the business, according TO
nm agreed tonnage basis, Is, they de-
clare, quite a different thing, and can be
accomplished under the present law.
Upon the final ruling of this opinion de-
ponds not only the success OF Mr..
Gould's plan, but the future success or
failure OF many American railroads.

Some Fast Time.

Word has been received in Fort Worth
that the time of tine new fast tram over
the Texas and Pacific will be reduced
one hour in the run from here
to St. Louis. The trip is now
made in twenty-five hours, which
will be shortened about January
l to twenty four hours. TIE 'Flyer, -
as the new train is commonly called, is
meeting with a remarkable run Of bus!-
ness, and Is very popular with business
men. Since the train was put on II has
made some remarkable speed. Recently
it reached Texarkana ono hour and
half late, but the lost time was made up
between that city and Fort Worth.
when the time is reduced to twenty four
hours between ST. Louis and Fort Worth,
IL will be by far the fastest train running
out of Texas. The trip can then be
made from here to New York city III
titty-seven hours and forty minutes.
