The people Of the state demand railroad
legislation. The senate Of the state of
Washington is supposed to represent the
people and should give them what they
demand. The Anderson bill passed the
house Of representatives by a practically
unanimous vote. 1t il now before the
senate for consideration. As we have be.
fore stated, the people are not disposed to
ask anything unreasonable. They fully
appreciate that unwise and burdensome
railroad laws discourage the building Of
new railroads and have tendency to in
jure and retard the prosperity of any state
where they exist. "Live and let live"
should be the motto of the people, it must
be the policy Of the railroads. 1t is dan
gerous to attempt to throttle the will Of
the people by any underhand methods.
Such an attempt can only serve to hasten
and intensity the blow that may be de-
layed. but cannot be averted.
A careful examination of the Anderson
bill fails to disclose any Objectionable or
radical features. The only difference of
opinion that can arise regarding it is as to
extent of the reductions that should be
made in existing rates. Under the cir
cumstances, therefore. the bill should re-
ceive prompt and fair treatment at the
hands Of the railroad committee of the
senate and OF the senate itself. ANY man
or set of men who place themselves be-
tween the interests of the people and the
railroads will be crushed. Their efforts
will have but one result: The railroads
" ii. De made to suffer for their folly.
If the railroads and their friends hope
by delaying the election OF 4 senator TO
prevent railroad legislation they are work
ing with very inadequate conception of
the character Of the man whom the people
of the state have selected for their chief
magistrate. Ii the legislature adjourns
without giving the people relief the gov
ernor has the power TO call an extra ses-
sion and he will do it. Promises will not
be accepted again. LAWS and not prom
Uses are what the people want and what
they will have.
Even admitting that the provisions Of
the Anderson bill are a little too favorable
TO the people and not quite fair to the
railroads. II they prove 50 the law is
subject to amendment. 1t will do no
harm to give the people the big end of the
bargain for once. The railroads have had
il long enough.

Good Air.

The three great requisites to healthy, and
hence happy, living-Good air. good water
and good naturs--are 30 cheaply obtained
that they are very frequently ignored or
not estimated at their real value. In the
country. where pure air is to be had for the
mere demand, one often sees small win
dows and few Of them in sleeping rooms,
or else no provision Is made for opening at
tho top to let out foul or warm air, quite as
necessary as the opening at the bottom.
Many an invalid would recover could he
but live in constantly purified atmos-
phere and drink natures purest beverage.
Many another, victim to indifferent
health, would be restored to his normal
condition If his mental atmosphere were
cleared of all the i'll nature, the petty COM
plainings, envy, malice and all uncharita-
bleness Of his own or his family, which
cloud his life The perfect man-physically
and mentally-is he who has discovered
that we are simply erring, struggling chill
dren, and that an abundance Of charity for
others shortcomings We me4 like re-
turn and help greatly in preserving seren-

To Dissolve Gelatin.

To dissolve gelatin is not SO easy mat
ter as some cooks suppose. II the gelatin
Is covered with water and placed on the
hearth or on the back Of the stove, it will
melt in IS or 90 minutes, but in nine cases
out Of ten it will be strong favored and will
spoil whatever it is added to. This is the
reason that gelatin is not fully appreciated
by many housekeepers.
If the gelatin be soaked in cold water for
two or more hours, and then have boiling
water or milk poured on it, 1t will dissolve
immediately and rarely will have taste or
odor. Here is good rule to follow:
Put box of gelatin in bowl, and pour
over it half pint of cold water. Cover it;
let it stand for two hours or more. When
ready to use it, add half pint of boiling
water or the same quantity of boiling milk.
Stir for few minutes and the gelatin will
be dissolved
