A famous optician has discovered that
women have a larger proportion OF
brown eyes than men. If in parents the
mother has brown eyes and the father
blue the chances are eighty eight to
twelve that the girls of the family VIII
be brown eyed, the percentage in favor
of the boys having blue eyes being

THERE are qualities as far as the poles
asunder which go under the common
name of Pride. Some of the most Iowa
| BILE traits of character are associated
with it, some too of the most pathetic,
and likewise some of the most hateful.
False pride is an eager, Straining, vul-
gar competitor: but true pride is an eX-
preston of self contained dignity. 1t
a depends on what we are proud Of
whether we look askance at our fellow
men and are filled with desire to out
strip them, or whether, without refer
ence to others, we are concerned to
maintain an ideal of character below
which it is humiliation to fall. But,
though pride takes many repulsive
forms, it has virtues that more than
cuunterbalance its unlovelineSs. To say
that a man has lost his sense of pride is
the same as saying that he drifts hope
! less wreck Why should he care if there
is nothing in which he can glory? TIE
first step teward the reformation of hu-
man waits, old or young, is to lead them
to take pleasure in the thought that in
some point or other they are worthy of
admiration. The difference between a
worthy and an unworthy pride may be
put in this way-the one is a defense
an attempt to preserve individual digni;
tity and rights from rude encroa chment,
the other is weapon of offense, means
of claiming prominence over other men.
The claim, too, is generally made by
those who could best afford not to be
proud. The man who is clever, rich, in
influential, cannot gain much by pride,
but he may lose great deal and dis
count all his advantage With the poor
er man, pride is sometimes necessary as
an assertion of equality with the best
while not wanting to seem better than
other men, he refuses to acknowledge
that others have natural lordship over
| him.

READINGS TUR
Summing up the future of the COM
bined roads, Mr.. Mcleod bring his article
10 a conclusion with the following re-
marks:-
I'm the DEVELOPMENT and augmentation
of local industries a ong its lines lies the
path of prosperity for the future railway
system. The concentration Of the indus
tries OF the country in and about the
large centres of population has been
largely brGu ht about by the establish
ment Of inadequate rat - for transpGItt-
ton at competitive points aud the main
tenance of proDortionateiy high rates at
local Interior points which became neces-
sary to re esve n sufficient average rev.
,nlie to support Inc transport ition sys-
tenn of the country. The time has now
arrived when the ma esial reduction of
what are cal.el through competitive
rates has reached its limit, and the co,u-
petition of the future will be, net
the competition of the railroads
among themselves for tae same traffic.
but the competition of the communities
along the several lines of railroad with
OIL er communities along other lines tor
h markets of the country: aud that
community which is not served by lines
of abroad reaching all parts of the
trv. at rates commensurate with those
enjoyed by other communities on other
lines, must fail behind in the race for
progress. aud the railroad which serves it
must follow in their wake. Perceivipg
its duty to the communitie les upon whose
prosperity its own depends, the manage
ment of the Re aiding railway has sought
to equip it with all the means for enter
ing upon the broader field of competition
which the future is sure to open; ard in
doing so, it hns not overlooked the neces-
S ty of acquiring access to all the sources
of supply which enter into the industries
along its lines and 10 the markets to
which their products must be carried"
