THE SEAT FIENp
Hoggish Disposition to Claim the
Whole Car.

One OF the universal customs In rail-
way travel is the attempt ON the part
Of the public to Appropriate an entire
seat per person and TO look with utter
Indifference upon the efforts Of later
corners TO find aittings, coupled with
the manifestation Of resentment should
one prove bold enough to suggest that
railroad ear seat was Intended for
two. II Ia probable that Americans are
no worse than other people In this re-
gard. but 1t is nevertheless fact that
many individuals who would hesitate
to do an impollte act where they are
known, Indulge themselves In the eN-
tremc OF hOorishness when travelling.
Not only IL this practice the height OF
dlscourtesy, but II Is unfair and In n
sense dishonest. In France II Is pro-
posed to sell the seats Ia the ordinary
coach as they do those In Il theatcr or
as we do those In n sleeping car, by
number delivering to the passenger
ticket designating the particular seat
he IL to occupy. II Is probable that
the American traveller would llicl, Wig
orously at the suggestion to adopt such
II rule IN this country; but really, there
is no good reason why II might not.
and some very good reasons why 1t
should be adopted. Some rule certainly
should be adopted whereby travellers
may be made to respect the rights OF
others. To carry out any plan that
would secure 1t would involve the ex-
pendlture OF some additional money In
the way OF train service In order that
the comfort of passengers might not
be diminished because they were de-
Med the privilege of adjusting things
to suit themselves, but II would no
doubt be profitable in the long run.

He Is Pleased win Crop Conditions
In the Northwest

President George Gould Is quoted by
a New York paper as saying: The
things | saw that impressed me most
were the immense belts OF corn In the
Southwest and the vast crops OF spring
wheat In the Northwest. There was
every Indication that both the corn
and spring wheat crops will he all that
could be hoped for. Throughout North
and South Dakota and Mlnltoba
saw thousands OF acres OF wheat that
will easily yield from S5 to 90 bushels
an acre. The growing crops presented
a beautiful sight. The removal OF
these crops ought to test the full carry
ing capacity OF the railroads for two
years to come. Another thing that
especially interested me was the nnc
condition OF the Western railroads.

fact that Western roads have thus been
declared TO be at this time revenue de-
stroyers, and the further probability

neither safe nor evpedient that such
opinions be entertained. should cause

the largest coal firms in the Pitts
burg district have agreed to pay
their employees the fifUy-cent rate,
the pay to be semi-monthly; to re.

of the New York and Cleveland

company held out all along against
the district rate Of s~ixty-nine cents
for which the miners struck.
They based their action on the
grounds that they paid cash and

There are Just as dishonest men
in good bushes as out of 1t. Hon.
e sly is not measured by the out
side circumstances. 1t is a thing
OF tn thought and purpose and
life. The man who is dishonest in
business will not be honest in his
home life. Dishonesty is the re-
verse OF honesty. IL is the other
side ofthe picture. The man who
misrepresents is dishonest. The
m erchant who sells inferior goods,
trusting to the ignorance Of custo-
mers not to know the difference,
has smirched the whiteness Of his
robes of honesty, and the clerk who
lends himself TO this dishonesty
toward the customer has taken
his first lesson in dishonesty to his
employer and his downhill career
has begun.
The LIGHT cautions against the
first step. 1t is the letting in Of the
little stream Of water that threat
tens the dam. 1t is the little
foxes that spoil the tender vines.
1t is the little dishonesty that
leads to the great defalcation.
This lesson OF dishonesty is as
prevalent almost as business
itself. The honest man deals
with his neighbor as with himself.
To all you who sit in pews this
morning how many a write
themselves down as dealing honest
ly in all things ever to their own
business hurt. How many who
pride yourselves that you are
better than those who attend
church, can say that you deal with
your neighbor as with your
self. To you who do business
of all kinds in all places, this day
the LIGHT admonishes to that in
tegrity which esteems character"
above reputation" and true self
respect above riches gained by low
ering the standard of a perfect
truthfulness.
To the boys just entering upon a
business life the LIGHT says:

II the vast enthusiasm Of the French
New Orleans public.
This house was the heart of the social
life Of the city. All the existence of
the old creole aristocracy was centered
in the opera. The spirited and earnest
gentlemen OF the day exchanged cards
with magnificent frequence in this
building. In fact, 1t IS said that more
duels were arranged there than in any
other building in the world. And a
certain great feature was the "loges
grilles"-latticed boxes-where families
In mourning could listen to the opera
without being observed by the specta-
tors.
In 1859 the present opera house was
erected. The Orleans had become too
small. Gradually, the opera had ac-
quired a patronage that comprised the
wealthy classes of both the French
and American populations. as well as
the masses Of the people. Matthew and

United States that supports continual
and elaborate production of grand
opera. And, as mentioned. New Or

wears the pious air of man who has
dared everything for the sake of be-
loved art. And he is altogether en-
titled to wear this air of piety.
Here the opera is supported by the
entire populace. The lights of the
company are the deities of the masses.

Deep Breathing Is BealthfuL

Cultivate the habit of breathing
through the nose and taking deep
breaths. If this habit was universal,
there is little doubt that pulmonary af-
fections would be decreased one-half.

this fact. that deep and forced respira-
tions will keep the entire body in glow

thinly one may be clad. He was him.
self half frozen to death one night and
began taking deep breaths and keep
ing the air in his lungs as long as pos
sible. The result was that he was
thoroughly comfortable in few min
utes. The deep respirations, he says,
stimulate the blood currents by direct
muscular exertion. and cause the en-
tire system to become pervaded with
the rapidly generated heat
