Railway Rates.

If the railway companies serve 8
useful purpose for themselves by
establishing agreements as to freight
rates, they serve a more valuable
purpose for the interests of the pub
lie. 1t is even more desirable for the
public than for the railway to have
uniformity and permanencein in freight
rates. Rate cutting, while it affords
cheaper service temporarily and to
certain points and within certain ter.
ritory, is attended by great deal Of
decentralization. 1t is a manifestation
of competition that has no elements
of general or continuing advantage,
and that disturbs established and
proper conditions of traffic.
1t is better to have fixed conditions,
by general consent and
with recognition of the rights of all.
Such conditions will enable all the
railways to operate to the best ad-
and to provide the best serv-
ice according to the merits and re-
Iuirements of the traffic. There
need be no apprehension of unreason-
ably high rates, for it is always the
of Individual railway COM
panies to withdraw from the asso-
when they find it to their in
terest to take advantage of competi-
tive possibilities Railway Times.

AVOID COUGHING.
IN bronchial Affections the Repeated Par

an bronchial Affections the RepeasaS p.-.
oxysms Do More Harm Than Coca
In all bronchial affections the mar.
oxysms OF the cough should he
paced as far as possible under the
control OF the will. The old idea
that dlsaereeable sensations in the
throat indicate the presence there of
something which ought to come
up has been entirely displaced by
Inc more rational view that the con.
tlnued and prolonged efforts to expel
that something" are often produc-
tive OF more mischief than would re.
Fult from its being allowed to re.
main.
There is attendant upon every dis.
ease OF the bronchial tubes a greater
or less amount of mucus, which ex.
udes from the membranous lining of
the tube. OF course there are the
accompanying signs of inflammation
heat, pain, swelling and redness-
but it is the mucous exudation
which is for the most part response
BILE for the disagreeable sensations
which we instinctively attempt to al.
leviate by coughing.
Now 1t is certain that in O great
majority of instances where the gen
eral health of the patient is not at
tackled, this exudation undergoes
what is called resolution-that is, it
is reabsorbed through the fine net
work of blood vessels about the tubes
into the blood, where it is taken care
of and complete recovery is effected.
On the other hand, let us suppose
that we do not wait for resolution to
take place, but, that on tho theory
that every particle of the exudation
should be expelled, as being of poi
sonous nature, we strain to exhaus-
ton every muscle of expiration and,
in fact, the whole system. What fol-
loWs2
We may have accomplished our
immediate object or the seat of the
inflammation may have been out of
reach. In either event, if we could
see the point at which our efforts
had been directed, we should discov-
Or that they had not been productive
Of the results anticipated. Instead
If the inflammation being in any
way allayed we should find that
In effect had been produced similar
% that which follows scratching an
tching sore. The irritation has for
he moment been relieved, but it is
,nly question of time when it will
'eturn with renewed energy.
The habit of endeavoring to expel
more of the exudation than will
,ome away with gentle and infre-
Iuent coughing is an exhausting and
die one. Youths Companion.

General N. NJ. Curtis of New York
and Colonel William Lamb of Nor
folk, who held commands in the Fed
eral and Confederate forces, respec-
lively, at both the Fort Fisher battles,
visited the ruins of the old fort to-
gether recently. General Curtis
pointed out the spot inside the works
were he fell seriously wounded by a
piece of shell that struck him over
the left eye and carried away a
large piece of the frontal bone and
destroyed the eye. Colonel Lamb,
who was in command of the fort at
both battles, explained the positions
held by its defenders and also point
ed out the spot where he, too, was
shot down, a mimic ball having
broken his hip, and also where Gen
eral Whiting received his death
wound. Strange to say, all three
were wounded within a few yards OF

A "T.Ichtnips" Bolt.

A new device for fastening doors
contains some valuable features. 1t
seems to be fitly named "the light,
ming bolt" and consists of a slotted
link hinged on the jamb post, which
rasses over a staple of special form
secured to the door. When the door
is closed it is secured by slamming
the link in place, which then passes
over the staple and is automatically
locked there by suitable eaten
This bolt serves a double purpose az
Il also replaces a chain, the staple
being SO arranged that the link can
be held in three different poslnons
Corresponding 20 to three widths ol
door opening. Additional security
can be gained, if necessary by PAD
locking the link in its staple, pro
vision being made for this purpos'

AmerIoa,. Army Of Rallrond Mem.

The latest statistics show that there
are s2l 400 men engaged in the operation
of railroads in the United States. This
implies force three-fourths as large as
the army Of Germany, six times as large
as that of Great Britain and more than
80 times as large as that of our own coun-
try. 1t is undeniably the most intelli-
gent and effective labor element in the
world, and it is also, as it deserves to be,
the best paid, its average annual wages
being twice as great as those Of the same

class of workmen, anywhere else under

APnnr Man and His Dog.

al was just watching n negro that
passed by here a few minutes ago with
a dog tied to a string" said Christian
Banks to a reporter at the Lindell. ~
there is anything that is really humor-
Gus, it is to see negro affectionately
leading a dog that hasn't any affection
for him at all, and doesn't want to have
either. The garb was, as usual, indica-
tive of the fact that the negro had little
else TO do except to take care of the dog
His hands were almost hidden by the
length Of his coat sleeves. and the coat
itself hung in rich, heavy folds over the
shoulders and back in a manner more
comfortable than graceful. The pants
looked like segmented cloth rings, piled
one on top of the other from the ground
up. They must have been warm.
"And there was that poor unpedigreed
purp slouching along after in an hum
BILE, respectful way that was, however,
only measured by the length of the
string and the strength and toughness of
it. Occasional jerks on the cord that
pulled the dogs neck skin nearly over
its head, and come along, now; doan

obedient animal that it was expedient to
move along in this world. | just Won

Poor toss Smith.

The letter left by e. Ross Smith, the
murderous lover at Evanston, contains
lesson and a warning. He says that he
prayed for the Tightening of his grief
when Effie Clark refused to marry him,
but no help came. Then follows this;
"The only hope have of receiving COM
fort is to get such control of my emotions
that l can keep thoughts from entering
my mind"
In the last sentence poor Smith states
one of the profoundest truths of meta
physics. To get control of the emotions
is indeed the only way of receiving COM
fort. Ross tried it. He could not, so he
murdered the girl who would not marry
him and then killed himself Smiths
state of mind was insanity, as his room
mate says. True love asks the good and
the happiness of the one loved, whether
that happiness consists in marrying the
lover or not. Smith was jealous He
was in fever of passion, rage and dis
appointment, but there was not a spark
of true love for the girl in his soul. He
was merely the victim of his own un-
governed emotions. The supreme work
of every one is to train himself to think
or not think of thing as he chooses.
The individual without emotions is as
dead and cold as log of wood. But
the person who has strong emotions and
can control them can make the happi-
ness and well being of himself and all
around him. 1t is the secret of all pow
er, all happiness, to rule our emotions
and passions, to know just when to use
them and when to draw rein on them
] We are never entirely comfortable till
we learn to sit on ourselves.
