 This is the day of all the week the best for those who are gone on" foot ball. To-day Yale and Harvard will come together on the field appropriately called Soldiers, and there will be a fight that will not disgrace a field so named. Nor will the fight disgrace the two great institutions of learning that will figure in it, for though football fights may not be opponents of the very highest culture of our time they are we'll up toward the top in the estima- tion of those best qualified to esteem. A few feeble and belated ones decry their importance, but twas ever thus, Some flies are always found on the chariot wheels of progress, but the wheels go round regardless of the flies. Twenty-Five or thirty thousand of the | bravest and the most beautiful will see the great struggle and "root" for the strugglers. How can man sprain his | ankle, dislocate his shoulder, break his | collar bone or "bust his bellows" bet
 ter than in facing fearful odds in the presence of such an assembly? Glory l will be grasped on Soldiers field to- | day, and Victory will hover OCT the | plain preparatory to perching. May

------------------------- 4 GOOD EXAMpLE TED.

The force of good example set by a Connecticut company has been felt in Massachusetts. The New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company has declined to discriminate in favor of large cities like New Haven, Boston and New York by reducing fares to and from those cities on special days for the special benefit of the business men of those cities. Of course there has been some selfish complaint about this policy, but it's justice has been gener- in the large cities mentioned, and in the small places it has been most thank fully recognized. Now the Fitchburg road has declined to comply with the request of the Boston retail merchants association for special passenger fares to that city during merchants week." According to the Athol Transcript the Fitchburg management believes that the commercial interests of the towns along it's line should be protected" and the Transcript adds: And this is where the company is right. No rail- road company has any right to dis criminate in such way in favor of certain towns or cities along it's line"
 The Fitchburg road is on solid ground in this matter, as Connecticut's great est railroad company is. A railroad company cannot justly or wisely oper- ate so as to rob Peter for Pauls bene- fit, and if Peter is doing business in a small town he should not be driven out of business by railroad company so that Paul can grow greater in a great town. Of course the people in such a large place as New Haven might not weep if Ansonia were milked for their benefit, but they might if they were milked for the benefit of New York. So it is just as well to have things fair and square all around.

CHEER FOR BULBS.

There has been some looking around lately, and perhaps sufficient attention has not been paid by the searchers to the change from wooden freight cars to those of steel. According to the Railroad Gazette, the result of this change is increased earning power due to the fact that the proportion of pay ing to non-paying weight moved is raised to a marked degree. Steel cars are more expensive than wooden ones, car for car, but, given certain amount steel cars adequate for it's transporta- tion will cost about the same amount as would be expended for wooden cars enough to do the same work. And there are other considerations to be taken into account. Fewer cars in shorter trains make possible the em- ployment of fewer men in handling freight and rolling stock, while less land need be devoted to yard uses. A train of thirty steel cars, with a capac- ity of 100000 pounds each, will carry 1,50O tons of paying freight, and the dead weight of the cars will be 510 tons, or a total of 2,010 tons. A train of the same gross weight, of the best standard 60, ,oO0-pound capacity cars, would be made up of two-thirds paying load and one-third weight of cars; that is, the cars hauled would weigh 7O3 tons, or 193 tons more than the car weight in the steel-car train. This item alone is more than the average trainload of paving freight, counting all train mIe- age, on many respectable railroads
 The average, for instance, on seven inn portant representative roads from the latest official figures is 257 tons, which is considerably higher than the average of the roads of the country. In this example the saving in train length would be more than 300 feet, which is a
 very important consideration from the operating standpoint. The saving in weight only indicates part of the saw ing in the cost of hauling. Increasing the number of cars in the train adds to journal friction and rolling friction
 and to all wearing and bTeakable parts
 It increases the resistance on tangents and to a still greater degree on curves
 With all the railroads doing more business than they can do and earning so much money that they cant get cars to bring it to headquarters perhaps z

tient was. '"Then you are doctor, madame, since you know how to take care of me?" asked the wood-cutter, who did not know his benefactress. "Yes, my good man." was the reply, Il am very sorry for that" continued the Wood-cutter, "because l will never be able to pay all owe you. But you must give me your address, and as soon as can go out will bring you bas- ket of fresh eggs and butter by way of thanks. The queen replied evasively, and the surprise of the Wood-cutter may be imagined when he subsequently, learned the rank of his lady physician.
 Gratitude of a somewhat similar na- ture inspired the cabman who last win ter had an accident near Monte Carlo, and was assisted by the emperor of Austria, who happened to be passing on foot The cab-6river was so pleased that he said:" I am going back to Nice, and if you like, I'll give you a lift.

One of their most re- cent adventures took place at g. farm house, where they called to buy a glass of milk. Nobody but an old para lyzed woman was in the house, and she replied that no milk was left in the jugs, and that she was unable to go to milk COW. Never mind," said the queen, if you will allow me, I will go to the pasture. Just tell me where the jugs are" But, my dear lady, you are from the town, and you will never be able to milk cow" objected the old woman. She was, however mistaken. for little later her Majesty returned with half-filled jug. Meantime, Prin- | cess Clementine had laid on the table | three bowls, loaf, and the needful

FASHION NOTES.
A Cont md q Corset.

Just because fancy capes are out of fashion now there is no lack of variety in winter outer garments, for there are almost as many sorts of coats and jackets as there were of capes. Char acteristic as the Russian blouse coat is, it appears in many notifications
 and then there is host of loose-front- ed garments. The monotony that threatens from a too general adoption of the blouses can be entirely avoided if women will only choose wisely, and novel and pretty coats are in abund- ance. Here is a desirable one, sketched in light blue cloth. Its back was or
