THE CUT BEING NET.
The Louisville and Nashville May
Drop the Rates Asail.

The East Tennessee Road VIII Meet
Every Cut Made by the Belligerent
Line-The Alabama Midland win
Protect louisville and Nashville
Bills Of Lading-Few Orders Being
Placed For Fear That the Rates Will
Go Still Lower Before March ID.
Much Speculation as to What the
Association win Do.
There is no let up in the rate war, and
the prospects are bright for it continuing
at least until after the meeting of the
Southern Railway and Steamship Associ-
alton in New York next week, and per
haps longer. The East Tennessee
railroad is the only line so far
that has announced positively that it
will meet all cuts made by the Louisville
and Nashville This road has met the
cut which was made on classes c D and
f, includicg grain, flour and hay, which
went into effect Tuesday, March 6. This
cut was a reduction of cents per 100
pounds on these classes of freight to coast
points. The cut was somewhat lower
still to points in the interior, where com
petition is stronger.
Although the cut has been met by this
line, no further reduction has yet been
made. There is little probability, how
ever, that the matter will stop where it
is. The Louisville and Nashville has
gone into the matter in earnest, and an
other drop in the tariff quotations is
looked for in day or two,
WHAT WILL TIE OTHER ROADS Dor
There has been much speculation as to
what the other roads which compete for
western business will do. Mr.. II. S.
jackson, travelling freight agent of the
East Tennessee road, is in the city and he
Is looking after the interests of the line
at this point. He has informed the
brokers and merchants here that his line
will meet every cut made By the Louis
vile and Nashville, no matter how low
the rates are forced. This it would seem
will make it Necessary for the other roads
competing for western business to take
some action for the protection of their
own interests.
As yet, however. nothing OF Importance
has been done. The Savannah. Florida
and Western road does a western bust
ness through its connection with the Ala
bama Midland, over which good deal of
traffic comes into this port. This road
has announced to those interested that it
will protect the Louisville and Nashville
bills of fading, but has taken no further
action in the matter, The Florida Cen
trial and Peninsular, which brings traffic
by way of Atlanta from western points
has not yet been heard from in the
matter.
1t is probable that some of the roads
whose interests are not so materially af-
fected by The cut will take no positive
action until after the meeting of March
ID, at which the situation will be re
melied or the association will go to

HOW HE ESCAPED.

During the middle ages the country
now called Belgium was known by the
name Of Flanders, or perhaps it would
be better TO say that Flanders was the
largest Of the several feudal provinces
included in thatterritory, Latterly how
ever, Flanders comprised not only what
is known as modern Belgium, but also a
large part Of Holland and northern
France. The ruler of the country was
called an earl, and in the latter part Of
the fourteenth century Louis de Malatin
wore the coronet, which he had inherited
from long line Of earls, all Of whom
lay sleeping in glory in the abbey Of
Blandigni
The proud and wealthy burghers
chafed under the sovereignty Of the
feudal lords, and in Ghent particularly
this feeling Of independence was very
strong. The earl, who noted the popu-
lar disaffection, made haste therefore
to depart from Ghent and removed his
residence to the city Of Bruges, where he
had strong castle.
Now, Earl Louis was neither wise
statesman nor brave general, and he
foolishly augmented the public i'll will
by endeavoring to rob Ghent of its su-
perior advantages. -Four noble rivers
supplied the city with its commercial
and manufacturing facilities. Bruges
had no river, and SO a body Of dihers
were sent to construct canal by which
thewaters of Ghent might be conveyed to
Bruges. But the men Of Ghent fell upon
them and put them to death.
Earl Louis then dispatched another
company, which met with the same fate.
These were decided acts ofrebellion, but
the men Of Ghent were in the right, and
the earl was in the wrong. Kings and
princes very seldom stop, however, to
think about the justice Of anything.
They care only tosecure their own pleas
ure.
The earl Of Flanders was very angry
with the men of Ghent, and he sum-
moned an army by which he hoped to
conquer his rebellious subjects. He
oyercame them in one battle, but in the
next he met with defeat and was forced
to retreat to Rruges. Here be was be-
sieged by the enemy, led by The brave
and energetic Philip Of Arteveld,

stiff, brittle and unlovely? If not, you
will be glad to learn what | heard only
recently from one whose experience is
OF value. First wipe off gently with a
soft cloth all surface water and
mud; then while still wet

Ihere prof bly, never was a boy or
girl who did not dream Of possessing
for bis or her own pleasure Il band of
pygmies who should do what they were
hidden like SO many animated dolls.
DWarfs have been found in Africa, but
the natives of the Audaman islands, in
the bay of Bengal, are the smallest
race of people in the world. The aver
age height of Il full grown Andaman
is four feet five inches, and few weigh
over seventy-siX pounds. They are
marvelously swift of foot, and a. they
smear themselves over with mixture
Of oil and red ocher present very
strange appearance. Few travellers
care to encounter any of the warlike
little people, for their skill in throw
ing the spear and in using the bow is
only equaled by their readiness to at
tack strangers.
Altogether their traits are not such
as to make them desirable additions to
the playrooms of children, since they
have been said to eat men alive. They
are as black as Goals and seem to find
it desirable to tattoo themselves. This
artistic venture they usually begin
when they are eight years of age,
using bottle glass for the purpose get
ting their flesh into condition to re-
ceive the color and retain it, They eat
fish, turtles and wild honey and are
rarely satisfied with a luncheon that
does rot prov de them with six pounds

leaves and in spite Of their freedom
which amounts to wildness, are ex-
ceedingly irritable.-Harper's Young

Simultaneous loss of cons~ business into
which hypnotic or merely fascinated
subjects may be made to pass deserve
to be considered with lively interest.
AS | shall have to explain to you later,
the individual in these novel condi-

surrendered. an inert being, to the
enterprise of those who surround him.
He maybe induced to become a homi-
eide, an incendiary on suicide, and all
these impulses deposited in his brain
during sleep become forces stored up
silently, which will then burst forth
at given moment, causing acts like
those performed by the really insane.
All these are real facts which you
may meet with this very day in or

To Prevent Writer'S Cramp.

Scrivener's cramp, or writer's
wrist" as it is sometimes called, is in
duced by the use of too small pen
holder. The penholders in common
use are ali too small to allow a firm
grip TO be taken, and the result is the
6rvars close down tightly in an effort
to hold the pen securely, and the long
tension results in cramps. If men who
write habitually will use a penholder
three or four times as large as those
commonly employed they will never
have trouble with their fingers or
wrist. The best way to enlarge tbs
penhOlder is to take a bit Of rubber
tubing, which car be had in any rub
Der store. and place it on the holder.
This both gives larger stem and
affords soft surface, which does not
need to be grasped SO tightly.-St.

The French language, it appears, is
better adapted to the purpose of the
telephone than the English. 1t is
stated that the large number of sibi-

words are especially difficult of trans

A BELLEvILLE minister had an idea
that hens would lay if only they could
get exercise enough. So he hung a cab
bage from the coop ceiling and spent
hours watching the chickens jumping
for it, but the eggs, instead Of becoming
more numerous, actually decreased in
number.
