n. p Earnings.

-
Pioneer Press (24): Word came
over the ticker yesterday morning
that the Northern Pacific earnings
had increased the second week in May
$1l2.8l7, which amounts to 34.4
per cent. The total increase for the
year was $4,677,531. There are
many reasons why the Northern
Pacific increased so much, among
them being the incrsased facilities for
hauling tonnage at reduced cost on
account of reduction in grades,
larger rolling stock, ETC., begun by
General Manager Kendrick four y ears
ago. This road has 800 big cars
nov in process of construction by
itself. The next reason is the gen.
eral increase of traffic.

Harb! Harhi night winds are bowling
All round the corners they're boisterously prowl-
ing
March! March! Why this wild prattle?
Come you to finish grim winters battlef
But, Hey! Ho! Let the winds blow!
We lounge on the settle,
While the little brass kettle
Sings Hey. Ho! Hey! Ho!
Troubles and cares,
Cares and troubles,
Fly from our minds
With its gay little bubbles.
It sings to the shadows that dance on the wall,
The CAV hre-light shadows that caper and fall
Tread We a measure,
Ye children OF leisure!
Hey! Ho! Heyl Hot
See the jump coal eIyes-they join in the caper
And whirl them aloft in the friendly white vapor
That hangs in soft rings above the old settle,
Sent straight from the spout of the little brass
kettle.
The sleepy old cat. ADOBE on the rug
Gives now and then good-natured shrug
AS the miscellaneous elves, with no semblance OF
fear,
Pull at her tail tickle her ear.
While the shadows play tag on the quaint oalen
settle.
And we're lulIed into rest by the ehattering kettle.
Hey. Ho Heyl Ho.
Storms may brew
And winds may blow,
Never care we for the rain or snow.

Ignorance of Geography.

Washington Post.
A famous English journalist who has been
spending several weeks in Washington says
that he finds one serious defect in the edu-
know the geography of our own country
and we have the vagueSt possible idea Of
distances even when We do know little
something about maps l am afraid our En-
gish visitor is right. Only a few evenings
ago / heard a party of six discussing the
location of Key West -Four of the party
were surprised to learn that Key West is an
island, and the fifth thought it about as
far from the, mainland as Atlantic city is.
The sixth had been there, but even he when
asked whether Omaha is on river or not
wasn't sure of the answer. and when IT
came to telling which is farthest south, Salt
Lake, Omaha or San Francisco nobody had
the faintest idea.
There is, by the way, one teacher of
geography in Washington who has hit upon
defect in our educational plan. She writes
now and then to the headquarters of various
railway systems throughout the country and
receives time tables, maps, books and all
the other literature that the railroads pub
lish. She teaches geography with a time
States have page map to themselves. 30
have the Southwestern States. Maine ana
Texas seem about the same size to the cnlid
who is studying merely The map, but Wnen
the time table tells him how long 1t takes
to cross one State and how long to cross
the other he grasps Immediately the idea
Of their relative sizes. A statement or area
o.Onveys a very faint idea, to the average
person. and i doubt if one city-bred child
in fifty has any notion of the relative sizes
Of the acre and the usual city DOCK olale-
ments of time duration, however, are clear
to everybody, and / think the Washington
teachers tim stable plan ought 10 secure Iof
