CHICAGO. May 11.-westsrn lines have dealt
their Eastern connections the hardest blow In
their existence by sbolishing all through
freight rates. They will exchange no business,
except at the sum Of the locals.
This is more than q revolution in rate maxi
ing. 1t not only RACES to the ground the slab-
crate rate structure By which Eastern lines
assume jurisdiction Of rates to and from the
Mississippi River. but It sweeps every evidence
OF II out OF existence.
The imm ediste effect Of this revolution will
be to turn an I'm Intensely larger share OF grain
and all other commodities handled By the lake
lines to Chicago. Hitherto the burden Of meet
ing lake and rail rates was borne Jointly By
the Eastern and Western lines. Hereafter 10
must be borne wholly BY Eastern lines. as the
Western lines. in any event. will demand its
full local up to the junction point.

BECOMING SCARCE.
Blonde Men aud Women VIII vanish as
n TYPE In Time.

Type In Time.
Women with blue eyes and light
hair are gradually, though surely,
passing away as a type. In each sue
cessive generation there are fewer OF
them than in the last. Already such
thing as red blonde, purely such,
is so rarely seen in this country as to
excite remark. Golden tresses are so
very frequent that real ones are
usually suspected of being bleached.
In short, Spare Moments thinks it
long there will be no blonde women
any more. The same thing is true OF
men. Among their sex light hair and
blue eyes are fast disappearing. We
may Judge how rapidly they are going
when we consider the fact that when
ever brunette man marries blonde
woman, or vice versa, &c per cent Of
eyes. At that rate not very many
centuries will be required to wipe out
the blonde type altogether.
Some may wonder how this matter
has been determined with such &C
curacy. Simply by including such
statistical observations in the census
of nations in Germany and France,
where the very school children are
examined, and have their characters
recorded from an anthropological
standpoint. Observations made in
this way, so as to cover millions of
persohs of both sexes, have resulted
in the discovery that the dark people
bring moro children into the world
than the light people. Furthermore,
they have greater vigor and they live
longer.

A young Buffalonian bought BIZ

"Ho," said the friend, "where'd you
get the biko?"

tartly. "Did you think stole itP"
"No, don't know as / did. Whatu
you take for it?"
The wheelman stopped and said:
"Do you want to buy wheel?"
81 might if | got one cheap enough"
"Well, what will you give for this
one?"
''Forty dollars"
The wheelman got on his wheel and
rode away without saying a word. A
day or two later the friend came
around and made some more inquiries
about the wheel. The wheelman told
him confdentially that no was hard
up and was having difficulty in keep
ing up his payments and that he had
concluded to sell out for the $40.
Mike said the friend. II have
changed my mini, too. | can't afford
to give you more than $25 for that
wheel now"
The wheelman laughed at this offer.
The friend came around every day for
a week after that and asked him if he
was ready to take $25, reminding him
that he would lose the wheel alto
gether ii he wasn't prompt with the
payments. One day the friend made
his usual proposition. "I'll give you
$25 for that wheel" he said. You'd
better take it, too. It's your last
chance"
"Well." replied the wheelman. 81
guess l will take it. Moneys infer
nally close with me.
The preliminarics were arranged
and the friend counted out the $50.
"Where's the wheel?" he asked.
"Up at the house,"
"I'll come up tonight and ride it
away"
"All right" Then, as the friend
was about to go out, the wheelman
said: "On second thoughts, l would
bring up wheelbarrow for that bike
if were you"
Whats the matter?" gasped the
friend. ut isn't broken, is it?"
"a little" and the wheelman smiled
sardonically. "You see, fire engine
ran over it this morning."
The janitor of the building stopped
the fight.
