In the absence of any better topic
of discussion, at recent meeting of
the Rainy Day club in New York Miss
Dora Goldthwait made the assertion
that women do not always tell the
unqualified truth. Strange as it may
seem, since lying, like most other
faults, is supposed to have no sex,
the assertion has aroused tremendous
excitement, and papers are filed with
Endorsements and denials of the Gold
thwait assertion, the larger number of
them coming from women, they being
the interested parties.

RaiIroads az Educators.

Schools of instruction have been
inaugurated by many of the leading
railroads for the purpose of securing a
larger degree of safety to passengers
and for improving the general service.
In these days of constantly increasing
rapid transit and of proportionately
complicated equipment too many pre-
cautions cannot be had in the di-
rection of safety. These schools have
been in operation on some of the
western roads for several years and
have proved of SO much practical
value that the idea is now being taken
up in the east.

A Debt That Is Never Paid.

1t is the custom all over India for
a man whose monthly income is per-
haps So to spend as much as $500 on
the marriage of his daughter. The
sum he borrows from the local money
lender, veritable bloodsucker, whose
minimum rate of interest is "a per
cent. AS a rule it is more than the
borrower can do to pay off this inter-

and is handed down from father to
son, a terrible load which is never got

Exact Size of the Ear.h.

The measurement of mother earth's
exact size and figure is monster
feat of engineering just completed
by Uncle Sam. 1t has cost him nearly
so years of constant effort and fully
$5OO,O0O,OOO. The scientific geogra-
piers of the world will agree that
the enterprise is well worth this time
and expense. Mother earth's diameter
through her great waistband, or equa-
tor, is discovered to be 1926 miles;
her height, from pole to pole, 1880
miles. In other words, she is broad
er than she is tall.

yesterday morning at $780,. The mem

also due to the fact that the report of

frst order OF business after the read

caused the convention members TO re-

OF the minutes which were volunlinous,
including stenographic reports O.

members to defer the reading of the
full report as IL delayed the other busl-
ness which the delegates were anxious
TO get to work on. This was the cleo
ton Of alternate delegates. 1t was sug-
