reduced from $3.0S for carrying a ten of

Under the. consolidation effected by the
Standard Oil company oil had depre-
ciated in price from 25.1 cents per gallon
in 1871 to 81 cents in 1893. The sugar
trust resulted in cheaper sugar, due to
the purchase of the raw material at a
cheaper rate than individual refiners
could get it, That there have been

Labor followed capitals example, and

that of capital and had forced a division

PUPILS IN HOTEL LIFE.
4 Chicago Scheme by Which Women
Train Themselves For Travel.


"There goes pupil in hotel life," said
the clerk. He nodded toward modest
little woman dressed in black who had
just called for her key and was standing
a short distance away waiting for the ele-
vator.
"A pupil in hotel life9' repeated the
listener wonderingly.
eyes. Haven't you heard of the plan
adopted by Chicago women nowadays
when they are consumed by a desire to
travel and learn the ways Of the world
but have nos the means to crafty their
ambitionf It's becoming quite the thing
You see, they all think they may have an
opportunity to go away from home and
stop at big houses some day, and, in an
ticipation of that event, they are trying to
learn how to conduct themselves when
the crucial test comes.
This hotel is favorite resort Of the
novitiate. l can spot one of the beginners
every time, but they soon get the crude
ness toned down so that can hardly tell
them from thoroughbred travellers. Their
plan is certainly original. Whenever they
have few dollars that they can spare and
an opportunity to leave home for a day or
two without causing comment they come
uOWn mere OF 10 some OUner urSt class
house and register with as much impor-
tance as if they had just come in from
Europe, or St. Louis at least They learn
how to engage room, call for their mail
which is generally written by them
selves to thenselves-and order meals in
large restaurant with as much grace as
if two-thirds of their whole lives had been
spent on the road.
''It takes practice to wear away the
rough edges, to be sure, but If the town
should be destroyed by general con-
fagration and the female portion Of the
population be compelled to go to other
cities and put up at hotels, they could
pass through the ordeal with credit to
themselves and the town. This system
of training is comparatively inexpensive,
considering the value received, and, in my
opinion, is highly commendable. One of
the most pitiable sights one can witness
is to see woman traveller make fool of
herself, which she is bound to do if she
hash t had little preparatory experience.

GETTING OUT A DICTIONARY.
Troubles of an Editor With Too Lib
erRI Contributors.

A good story is told with reference to
the publication of certain Biblical die
tionary. The editor is said to have given
the article ON the deluge to what he con-
sidered a safe hand, but when the article
was sent in it was found to contain views
which would certainly have shocked ortho-
dox readers. 1t had in it too much of
science and too little of theology
What could be done? The volume had
TO be published forthwith. In this dilem-
ma he put N his dictionary, "Deluge--
see food"
This, at any rate, postponed the diff
Guilty, and the article on the flood was CIV
en- out to writer who it was thought
could be trusted better.
But when this second article came in it
was found to be worse than the first, and
another postponement was necessary.
The new volume contained another ref
erence-" Flood-see Noah'-the bewil-
dered editor trusting that by the time Noah
was reached he would succeed in finding a
man who would be able to mingle science
and orthodoxy in due degrees. -London

GOrdon's Courage.

Sir ". II. Russell, the veteran war cor

of Gordon
During the Crimean war there was a
sortie, and the Russians actually reached
the English trench. Gordon stood on the
parapet, in great danger of his life, with
nothing save his stick in his hand, en-
couraging the soldiers to drive out the
Russians.
Gordon, they cried. ''come down.
You'll be killed.
But he took no notice, and soldier
who WAS near said:
Its all right; . don't mind being
