PRACTICAL CHR7sTI1NITYe

If the truth is told, some ministers of
st. Paul have made a curious compro-
mise with what they appear to consider
sinful There is baseball nine in st.
ball mines of several western cities,
Sunday is it's best day for profitable
playing. The ministers held meeting
and decided to take steps to put a stop
to Sunday ball playing in st. Paul. The
manager of the nine tried to show them
that Sunday ball playing was no worse
than some other things, but the min
listers were not deeply impressed by his
argument in favor of the morality of
such playing. They do seem, however,
to have been impressed with his argu-
ment that Sunday ball playing in st.
Paul couldn't proftably or conveniently
be suddenly stopped. and SO they made
compromise with him whereby his
nine will be allowed to play five more
Sundays in ST. Paul if it will stop then.
This makes an interesting situation.
Are these ministers doing evil that good
may come. or are they only piously
practical, as missionaries in heather
lands are said sometimes to be? Do
they figure that it is as much as can
reasonably be expected of the st. Paul
baseball sinners to give up all but five
Of their baseball Sundays? And do they
think they have the right to grant the
indulgence they have granted?

FASHION NOTES.


Waistcoats are not much worn,
They are very trim and ship-shape, but
the soft front shirt with stiff collar
seems accepted as all right, and such a
costume is a good deal more comforta-
BILE than is one completed by waist
coat. Not a few compromises between
the two are seen, and it is one of these
combinations of the waistcoat's snug
ness with the fluffery of fllmy lace that
this illustration presents. The materi-
al of the Jacket bodice is fancy taffeta,
and 1T has slashed basque and loose
fronts that open over vest of light
cloth and meet again above the full
pleated chiffon jabot, where one side

The master mechanic of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad company predicts that
within five years electric motive power
will be used over the greater part of
that system. He helped to equip an
electric branch road between Burling-
ton and Mount Holly in New Jersey
"Within a month after that line start
ed" he says, "the time schedule was
made at the rate Of over sixty miles an
hour, with frequent trains. The service
has been found to be far superior to
anything known in steam railway prac-
tice, and the economy in operation he s
been more than was expected. An
electric locomotive has been applied not
merely to the haulage of trains, but
to all the switching service in the yards
and the various kinds of service of that
nature"

J, Fessimists have been charging upon
the wheat-producing capabilities of the
untouched plains of Argentina, and
have predicted further competition with
our wheat-growers when South Africa
is fully opened UP, but all this is moth
ing, says the New York Journal of
Commerce, to the competition to he
faced when the trans Siberian railway
traverses the fertile plains of southern
Siberia. These plains are said to be Of
vast extent and exceedingly productive.
They are now for the first time about
to be developed, and in the next CEN
fury, according to Nordenskjold, Sibe-
ria will take the place Of America as
the worlds producer of cheap cereals
and as the impoverisher of western Eu-
ropes agriculturists.

At present the variations are consider

their censuses on different days of the

A curious defect has been discovered
in Budapest's underground railroad.
There are not enough ventilating aper-
lures in the tunnel, and the trains rush
ing through it compress the air like
that in the tube of Zalinski pneu-
matte gun. On some occasions the cars
have been lifted from the track and the
passengers have been almost suffocated.
One stretch of tunnel, two miles long,
has only a single ventilating aperture,
making 1t almost an air tight compart-
ment.

WASHINGTON, Nov. A.-The system Of
allowing overtime claims OF letter carriers
throughout the country will be practically
abolished soon. At the beginning of the
present administration claims for extra
compen sstion for overtime were accumu-
lating at the rate of 10000 hours month.
This source Of expense has been steadily
diminished, and the reports for October
show that the amount for that month was
only 1856 hours for regular letter carriers
and 1877 hours for substitutes. The depart
ment regards the overtime In nine cases
out of ten as unnecessary. and Assistant
Postmaster General Jones says 1t will do
away with overtime altogether save in
