: Awindow box may be very cheap or
q very expensive affair, but a cheap one,
made out Of q packing box, will grow
flowers just as well as acostly one made
of tiles. All that is necessary is some
thing that will hold soil. It is not
enough to simply nail window boxes to
the wall; a brace should run length
wise Of the box, and be strongly brack-
.eted at each end to furnish support for
the box. The soil with which the box
ia filled should be rich; plants will not
grow in poor earth. II is often difficult
to get good soil in the city, but the adj

be procured from any store where gar
den seeds are sold, will make q poor soil

keting Trip.

First Experience of a Bride on a Mar
keting Trip.
Almost at first glance one would
know that she had not long been ac-
quainted with the duties of market
ing. In fact, she looked very bridish.
She wore beautiful morning gown
and carried herself with grace. When
she stalked into the grocery with her
little white hands firmly closed over a
brand new pocketbook, q self-satisded
smile lowering about the corners of
her pretty mouth and a general air of
self-confidence about her, everyone took
time to gaze upon the fair creature.
But 1t was apparent that the role was
an entirely new one to her. She had
assumed a matronly look, but it did not
harmonize with her real SELF
She was not attired in a way to lead
one to think that she had recently been
led to the altar. There were no grains
of rice in her hair, nor were there any
old shoes attached to her person; still
there was something that plainly
stamped her |'bride."
She wanted very much to conceal her
new position in life, and even had
she succeeded in doing so by her action
her visit to the grocer's would have
given the snap away. -
The unmatronly-looking young wom-
an stumbled partly through her order,
and then she came to the item of ham.
She told the accommodating clerk that,
even though most people preferred ham
a little fat, she did not wantit that way,
because she "did not like fat beef in any
shape"
And not a soul in the entire establish
ment smiled, for she made the remark
with SO much feeling and earnestness
that to have even cast knowing glance
would have been wickedness in its
worst form.-To Toledo Blade. ~

And the Loss Naturally Caused Him
Some Annoyance.
One afternoon last summer I was
standing on the great suspension
bridge just below Niagara falls look
ing at the great cataract and admiring
the wonderful colors Of the green and
blue river 200 feet below. Several work
men were engaged in painting the
bridge, and became interested in their
operations. It required no little en-
gineering skill to rig up an apparatus
by which to enable painter to traverse
the giant guy rope cables which radiate
from the center of the bridge, fam
shape, toward either end of the struc-
ture. A painters platform four feet
square was suspended from one Of these
cables by trolley arrangement, a
grooved wheel running on the cable.
BY means of rope attachedsto this
wheel a. man on the bridge could draw
the platform from the river bank-the
terminus of the cable-to the bridge
above, and as the platform passed along
the cable q workman sitting on COM
mon chair on the platform would paint
the great iron rope above his head and
behind the trolley wheel.
was especially interested in the
work of Swede, who, perched on a
small platform, was painting one of the
Canadian braces, He had begun at the
end of the cable on the Canadian shore
far below, and had been pulled up the
1o9c 81 so1 L.
until perhaps two-thirds of his journey
had been completed. There was abso-
lutely nothing but air between him and
the seething river 200 feet below; but
there he sat, on swinging platform,
methodically plying his brush and COM
placently smoking a short clay pipe.
How it happened don't know. But
the man on the bridge suddenly let the
rope slip out of his hands. There was
sharp cry of alarm from the startled
painter as the platform began to spin
down the incline, with constantly in
creasing momentum. It seemed as if
the poor fellow must inevitably be
dashed against the rocky precipice and
tumble into the river mangled corpse
Ihe slack OF the rope on the bridge,
however, became entangled around a
brace and the perilous descent came to
sudden end. The flying platform
stopped with a jerk. The chair, pail
of paint, brush and clay pipe went
sailing into space. The painter caught
corner of the platform just in time to
save himself from following them.
Two minutes later the platform had
been pulled up to the bridge, and the
Swede was given a chance to stretch
his legs again in safety. The man on
the bridge had not word to say. He
was as pale as corpse and trembled
like q leaf. But the Swede did have
something to say, and ne said it with
out the slightest tremor Of emotion in
his voice. "You," he remarked. SAY

commission, our roads have sunk to such
a low ebb of profit that they cannot go
much further that way without border
ing bankruptcy. Without entering ex-
tensively into figures it may be cited
that on a stock and bonded capital of
$40, 635, OOS, O74 the returns are 1.02
per cent, adeclension of one-half within
half a dozen years. The essential cause
of this terrible decline is attributed to
extensive competition and the cutting

has always been n to betray the rest.
No guardianship on the part Of traffic

MERGE commission has been able to
check the rings within rings in railway

tempts to cut each others threats. Many
of the most conservative and honest rail
way men are coming to believe that
government ownership is the only rem
edy. But against that, alike as a matter
of theory and practice, there is a radical
objection in the sentiments of many peo-
pie. That something will have to be
done very soon, however, to remedy the
evil is the conviction Of all those who

COrbetG on Boxing.

The pugilist whose solar plexus vas
rudely shocked last year by the fist of
one Fitzsimmons has given his views in
a very prominent newspaper on the sub
ject of prizefighting. His N is as
that of an ancient HELENE commencing
the dignity and Importance of the
Olympic games. Mr.. Corbett promul-
gates the following: sit must be evil
dent to every II that boxing, in the
highest sense of the word, has becomea
sport that must be recognized by the
American public. The day of the prize
fighter, the man who pummeled his adj
versary with his bare fists, has gone for
ever. In his stead has sprung up a race
of athletes, quiet, gentlemanly, we'll

company, although they earn their live
lihood by their knowledge of the art of
hit, stop and get away From a sport
that was carried OH only under cover it

tainments and amusements of tho
times"
1t is quite fit that this representative
of the fistic art should salve his own
vanity by putting the business which he
alternates with play acting as a means
of support, but one must be- allowed
gently to dissent from his conclusions.
In calling professional boxing for money

Olympic Games at Paris I'm 1900.

The revival of the ancient Greek
games at Athens in 1896 was a thought
at once unique and valuable. The
Olympic festival, occurring every four
years, was held by all Hellenes in every
Mediterranean country as the most sa-
cred thing in the race life, and it pow
erfully drew their eyes and hearts to the
common home. Consecrated by divine
sanction, the Olympic season at once
declared truce to all warning Greeks,
and peace then reigned throughout
Hellas. No other influence SO welded
Greece together and so made its COM
monwealths feel the thrill of a common
blood and a common ideal. The modern
recrudescence lacks nearly everything
which made the ancient festival an or
ganic outgrowth of life. But it does not
lack in timely suggestion. The recent
announcement of the programme of the
games by the international committee
includes nearly every kind of prominent
athletic amusement and exercise in
tolved in our modern habits and will
ut once engage the attention of expec-
tant competitors.
This international festival Of athlet.
les, for this is what it is proposed to be-
come, may attain a strong influence,
which will help to bind the world to-
gether in ties of future peace. Regard
ing modern civilized humanity as a
greater Hellas, for the worlds finest
culture came from this source, there is
something striking in the thought of the
new Olympic festival, which will be
moved, however, from city to city in
stead of being sacredly guarded at one.
The trend of recent startling movements
has bee.. toward the establishment of
universal peace and of safeguards for it's
continuance. Humanity longs for such
a panacea to it's manifold wars, and the
disposition to put that into operation
has been made manifest in startling
fashion. Everything which can con-
verge to that end is full of significance.
1t is one way to look at the new Olym.
pic games. Even as the great Elan fes-
tival drew the hearts of all Greeks to-
gether in love and covered the sympa-
thy of blood and ideal SO perhaps this
new Olympian gathering for interna-
tional rivalry in friendly exploits may
be a binding link in the great peace
chain. Should it prove to exert such a
manifest influence the name of King
George of the Hellenes as a worlds
be~nefactor, for to his inspiration the
project to connect ancient and modern
life in this fashion was due, will sur.
vive all the mediocrities of his reign.

Medical Experts.

Mr.. st. Clair McKelway of Brook
Ign delivered a pregnant address at the
Saratoga convention of the American
Social Science association on a topic of
great practical interest. In this he dis
cussed the value of medical expert testi-
mony in law trials and the evils in
volved in the practice. The speaker,
putting emphasis on the point that the
medical expert is retained to prove the
contention of one or the other side pre-
cisely as is the lawyer, goes Oh to say:
eff the professions other than that of
law, which, as already said, is licensed
and discounted partisan, and the con
tending partisanship Of which is tenn.
pered by judge and jury and is really
useful to both, deliberately enter the
market in competition for clients or for
a price, they must expect to part with
the authority and respect which they
would like to command, and they must
expect to be rated by the gauge and
wage of interest in hand or in sight,
supplied by the adherents to The view
to which they sell their services. The
retained expert is becoming more and
more a discredited quantity in the
courts of law, among jurors, in the
press and in the general community"
MI. McKelway touched a crying evil
with great vigor Of statement. Had the
consequences not been so maleficent in
a host of cases it would have made this
court practice a public laughing stock
as a travesty on the righteous mechan-
ism Of law. The speaker argued that
this hitherto necessary evil should be
remedied by making the payment Of ex-
pert testimony an affair of public re-
m%uneration, the selection of the wit
nesses a matter to be determined by the
presiding judge. This would eliminate
the phase of personal temptation and
hang the issue on the skill and veraoity
Of the witness who had ceased to be q
retained advocate. Whether or not the
manner of reform would suit the prefer
ences of the bench and bar, it's need is
recognized generally by the profession.
