Up TO a short time ago the Santa

Recently the Santa Fe issued az
rider that the milliDg-it-tran rate
would not he given Kansas miilerS
unless they consigned their flour oveI
he road as far east as Chicago, it,
-read of Kansas City. The COMPANY
claimed that if il extended the ad-
vantage OF the rate, it should be given
the longest possible haul over its o 81
lines.
The result Of this action by the
Santa Fe was that it ted to its
own lipeS the grain which was being
shipped To eastern points from Kan
Sas City over the Chicago & Alton,
Maple Leaf anG other lines. TheSe

the rates very low as an indurement
to get shipments.
The Kansas City millers were not
slow to see their advantage. They
we're able to buy grain in western
Kansas, mill IL and ship the flour east
over the Att n and Maple Leaf lines
at reduced rates. This makes the
net cost Of handling the grain low
and much less than the Kansas miller
could do il for.
The millerS have consulted At
torDpy General A. A. Goddard con-
cerning the best action to take to
regain the old rate. He has not rem
dered an opinion on the matter and
may not do so.

Is more common than we may think, il
we define gluttony as eating beyond the
body's need of sustenance and beyond
the stornachs capacity for digestion and
assimilation of food. That is fair
definition, and it fastens the name glut-
ton on many person who would resent
the term as an insult The fact Of this
gluttony is marked by its consequences
The overloaded stomach becomes dis
eased. The popular term for the condi-
ton is weak" " stomach. The weak /"
stomach fails in furnishing adequate nu-
triton for the body, and soon the weak =
ness spreads from the stomach to other
organs.

cures diseases Of the stomach and other
organs of digestion and nutrition. 1t
1euables the perfect assimilation of food,
by which alone the health and strength
Of the body is maintained.

Egg SuperstfttOns.

There are many superstitions about
the egg. In Scotland and Ireland chill
dren are taught by their nurses to
crush the shell after eating an egg or
to push the spoon through the bottom
in the form OF cross, showing lin
gering relic OF the once general super
stitious belief that witches lived in
eggshells and made boats of them,
casting spells upon the household.
In Italy 1t was believed that an egg
laid by white hen in new nest on
Easter day would cure pains in the
head or stomach that broken In a
vineyard it would prevent its suffering
from hail or similarly would save
field from frost, and its possession
gave one the power To see witches. IL
was also believed that an egg laid on
Good Friday, thrown on the fire, would
extinguish it, while the devil would be
killed If shot with an egg laid on

the latter. Geologically speaking, the

queer names. such as Lots Wife. the

$500. 1t lies in deep valley sur

General Lawton made II habit or
his life TO take a cold water bath ev-
cry morning before breakfast, ana
while campaigning he carried with hun
n rubber tub. 1t made no difference
where he was, he always ordered the
tubful of cold water 10 his quarters
every morning.
In following the Apaches he reached
a mountain. He knew that the In
dians had fled there, and before pursu-
ing them farther he left his rubber
tub and other tent equipments at the
base of the mountains in charge OF an
old and faithful sergeant to guard
carefully until he returned. 1t was an
old trick with that tribe OF Indians
when being pursued TO circle around
and return to the exact point whence
they started.
The general left the tub and started
out after the Indians. They eircied
around, covering wide territory, ana
beat General Lawton back to the base
Of the mountain. When he got there,
he found that the old sergeant ana MS
six men had been killed and that his
tub had been carried off by the In
dams. The Apaches evidently learned
how highly the general priced the rub
Der tub, for they placed great store by

Tho .sNeedIe's Eye"

A lady writes 10 me ana asks what
is really meant by the needles eye
in the parable Of the rich man. re-
member reading somewhere that II was
the smallest gate that gave entrance
to the walled city of Jerusalem ana
that a loaded camel had to be stripped
of its burden and bend its knees TO
squeeze through. And SO rich man
had to give up his riches and come
to his knees before he could enter
heaven. 1t was just one or the thou
sand proverbs that adorned the moral
teachings of the Jews and the eastern
nations. The writings of Job and Solo
mon and Confucius and Mohammed
abound i'm them.
In the Koran is found this proverD,
THE impous man will find the gates
of heaven shut. and he can no more en-
ter than n camel can pass through a
needles eye" There Is another in
the Koran which says. You will never
see n palm tree of gold nor an elephant
pass through needles eye" These
proverbs simply meant that 1t was I'm.
possible. Strange TO say, the world
has long since quit making proverbs.
All proverbs have come down to MS
even such as "a rolling stone gathers
no moss" Poor Richard left us
few, such as "A penny saved is two

All Fools Day.

The custom of playing pranks on
April fools day probably had it's origin
In France, the first nation to begin the
new year Jan. 1 instead of March %.
Before the change April l was the day
when the merrymaking of the New
Years celebration eliminated In the
paying of gifts and visits in return for
those already bestowed. When the re-
formed calendar in 1864 made the 1st
Of January the beginning of the new
year, April l was the time for pre-
tended gifts and visits of mock cere-
mony to make fools of those who had
forgotten the change In dates.
The Romans had holiday similar In
character to this, although not coming
at the same time Of year. the satur'
MALTA, and in Hindustan the feast OF
the Hull. on March 81 has for it's chief
diversion the sending of people or
fruitless errands.

The shirt is made of rings, every ring
from a piece of steel wire IA inches
long and about one-sixteenth or an
inch thick. The ends of the piece OF
wire are fiattened out, holes are punch
ed through them, one end is turned on
to the other, and they are fastened to-
gether by a small rivet. Every ring
connects four others. The wire differs
somewhat in thickness, not by design
seemingly so as to make one part OF
the shirt stronger than another, but
from material Of uniform thickness
running short. In parts where the
rings are free to jingle together they
are worn very thin. Round the neck
is a band of three thicknesses of red

Our First Postal Rates.

The first law of congress fixing rates
of postage went into effect on June 1,
1892, with rates as follows:
Not exceeding 80 miles, cents.
Over 30 and not exceeding 60 miles,
8 cents.
over GO and not exceeding 100 miles,
10 cents.
Over 100 and not exceeding $50
miles, 1919 cents.
Over $50 and not exceeding 200
miles, 10 cents.
over 200 and not exceeding 200
miles, II cents.
over $50 and not exceeding 800
miles, 20 cents.
over $50 and not exceeding 45O
miles, % cents.
Over $50 miles, 20 cents.
II would seem that postmasters OF
that day must have been greatly per
picked in adjusting the rates on each
letter under such diversified schedule
as the above. The weight limit was
one ounce (single), but a single letter
was a single sheet, two sheets double
three sheets triple, four sheets a quad
ripple letter, even II the whole four die
not exceed an ounce.

A Ioud whistle.

A clergyman in Scotland desired his

hills of Scotland.
He had scarcely pronounced these
words when he heard loud whistle.
