the whoop of the Indian warned of
dreadful danger. She must stand by
her husband, gun in hand.
How many women of to-day could
undertake wi.ehood under such condi-
tons? Few indeed. Not because the
modern American woman lacks cour-
age, but because SHE lacks as a rule the
physical health which is the indispensa-
BILE qualification for a life such as Yves
lived by the women of the past.
That is why good woman may be
bad wife. Virtue and goodness are cx-
cellent things in women, but TO guide
house and bear children demands above
all sound physical health.

LOWEST IN THE WORLD.
Railroad Rates in United states Ex-
tremely Low.

Railroad Rates in United states Ex-
tremely Low.
Investigation shows that the rates
charged by the railroads in this country
are the lowest in the world. The aver
age rate per ton per mile received by
the railroads in the year 1898 was but
1853 cents. and the average rate per
passenger per mile 1894 cents,
Thu latest authentic figures compiled
as to the average rate per ton per mile
shows that in Great Britain it is %
cents, in France 30 cents, and in Hol-
land where the average rate received per
ton per mile is the lowest of that of any
country on the other side Of the water, 1t
was L56 cents. The difference between
the average rate received per passenger
per mile by the railroads OF Europe and
the United States is almost as great as
that shown above in the foreign rates
The tendency of both freight and
passenger rates in the United States for
years has been downward. The railroads
in this country now transport freight of
some classes at figure that wouldh I
have covered the cost to them of render
ing the same service a few years back.
For example. the Pennsylvania railroad,
east of Pittsburg and Erie, in 1860, re-
ceived an average freight rate or 274o
cents per ton per mile, from that year the
rates steadily declined until in 1898 the
average rate per ton per mile was but
499 cent. In the same period the average
rate per passenger per mile decreased
from 1858 cents to 1882 cents.

PiTTSVILLE.

There has been some sarcastic re-
marks made in regard to the action of
the DeXteryllle boys while in PittSville
at various times, but there are a few
other things that might come under
observation of casual observer, one
thing is that when they come here to
have a good time they always come
with plenty Of money and pay for what
they get and do not whine about the
price. Another is that they as gen
eral thing mind their own business
and do not trouble people who are not
looking for trouble when there is a
dance. Dexterville is always on top
with the coin and when there is show
they are always here and at all celebra-
lions they are present and in fact if
there is anything going on they always
donate more than their share, but in
return how does PittSville exchange
compliments not single person ever
attends anything that takes place in
