Tact.
Tact is born with some men and
women, like the supple, delicate fingers
of the artists hand; and those who have
II use their gift instinctively. 1t Is not
measured alike to those who have IT.
Men possess it in different degrees,
while others again are wanting in it al
together. 1t is the outcome of intel
lectual and temperamental qualifica-
tions, and implies the possession OF
clear perceptions. quick imagination
and delicate sensibilities. 1t is these
that give the tactful person his subtle
intuition of another's mental processes
and modes of feeling, and in the same
amount exactly the right method OF
dealing with these.-N. Y. Ledger.

ON SEEING OURSELVES.
Our Traits of Character as
In. Mtrrnr

Viewing Our Traits of Character as
in a Mirror.
No amount of posing before a mir
TOR will give person much of an idea
of the impression that his features or
presence make upon others. In like
way it is impossible for him to see his
own traits of character as others see
them. We cannot get outside of our
selves and look at ourselves against
the background of circumstances and
conditions which are patent to every
body else. In his famous lines Burns
says that q glimpse OF ourselves as
"ithers see u.s. would free us "frae
monte blunder" and foolish notion.
That, however, is only q half-truth.
Such a sight of ourselves might, on the
other hand, make us less brave in car
rying out our ideas of truth and JUS
tice. We are often deferred from fdel-
ity to our own best ideals by imagln-
ing how this and that course of action
will strike some one else. The attempt
to see ourselves as others see US" weak
ems our best resolutions, and makes
timid conformity to Others notions
take the place of that high and fine in
dependence of spirit which lies near
the basis of all true nobility of charac-
ter. 1t is not wholly a disadvantage
that Burns prayer cannot be answered.
The sight of ourselves would save us
from some blunders and follies, but at
tho same time it would almost invari-
ably weaken our courage in espousing
An unpopular cause, and in standing
against public opinion for our own no.
tions. Our notions are not necessarily
foolish because they seem so to those
who look on from the outside.-Boston
Watchman.

THE RAILWAY PooL OUTLOOK

The latest to shake up the railroad
people is the Interstate Commerce
Commission, which has called for all
details for carrying contracts from the
roads composing the Joint Traffic Asso-
citation, between January l and March
10. This includes even the secret and
unwritten agreements.
1t looks as If the railroad folks were
to have no rest until this matter is
finally settled. which will not be until
fall. the Supreme Court having post
poned hearing the Joint Traffic case
until the October term. That will give
the Judges time to observe how the
roads are operated under the restric-
tions of the courts decision in the
Trans Mississippi case, and also, per-
baps. for Congress to amend the Inter
State Commerce act so that the decision
when given will not affect the business
of the roads.
Ii is doubtful whether the interven-
ing time will be taken advantage of by
| Congress. Senator FOraKer's pooling
bill will not have PLAIN sailing through
the Senate. An indication of the diff
culties it will encounter was given by
the introduction of bill by
| Senator Chandler, which practically ex-
tends the scope of the bill so as to legal
ize pools of every kind. 1t provides
that contracts may be made to main
tain prices by merchants, manufactur-
| ers and producers of commodities. I'M
der the supervision of the Interstate
( Commerce Commission. the same as
railroads for maintaining transpOrta-
ton rates by pooling.
1t makes no practical difference
whether Mr.. Chandler introduced his
/ bill in good faith or as an illustration
of the Inconsistency of the Foraker
proposition with the Sherman antitrust
: law. If railroads can properly effect
combinations to keep up rates why
! should not manufacturers and produc-
ers of all kinds be permitted to do the
same? That will be the argument of
the opponents of antitrust legislation.
With the strong feeling in the country
against trusts and pools Of all kinds
the Chandler amendment will be a
heavy handicap to the Foraker bill.

j. Bull LEARNS YANKEE TkiCA.
The adoption by England of the
American system of baggage checking
is in the nature of a tribute to American
passenger traffic methods. British con-
servatism in these lines is Of that stub
born variety which has heretofore
blinded an essentially globe-trotting ma
ton to even the possibility that there
might be more convenient ways of
handling trunks and other articles in
transit than those sacred from almost
time immemorial to the British tray-
eler.
An American railroad man, Mr.. J. w.
p. Burning. of New York, appears to
be entitled to the credit of having
brought this change of sentiment on
the part of the English. For many
years past. American tourists have been
put TO an almost incredible lot of IN
necessary trouble in the checking Of
baggage accompanying them on their
foreign tours, owing to the conflict be-
tween the American and English sys-
TENS. Mr.. Burning set himself to work
to overcome this, and he has so sig
nally succeeded that it will hereafter
be possible for persons on the eve of
departure from any city in this country
to check their baggage through to Lon
don or other English points, with no
further care or responsibility attached
thereto. The checks given on this side
need not be produced again until hand
ed to an expressman on the other side,
a simplifcation of system which cannot
but commend itself to all who have suf~
fered under previously existing condi-
tions.
That such a beneficial change has
been brought about by American infiu-
ence leads to the hope that other
changes in the same line may shortly
follow. 1t may even be that English
men will give up the distinctively
British term grasses" and adopt the
more sensible checks" of the Ameri-
cans. and eventually be heard to ask
for their baggage instead of their lug
gage. Now that the wedge has once
been inserted in the sturdy oak of Eng
lish conservatism and insular preju
dice. Americans have a great opportu-
nifty for effective reform work.
