Raiironal rIme TabIe..

The genius to arrange railroad time
card, or time table, so that 1t may be
readily, easily and accurately under
stood by the occasional traveller is not
yet born. Perhaps he will have to be
made. But no matter how much the
patrons of a road may be mystifed
the management takes particular pains
70 supply a special card ''for the gov
ernment and information of employees
only" This table is so simple that a
child can understand It, The second
page usually contains a table showing
the rate of speed required per mile for
a train to travel given number Of
miles In an hour. 1t starts at fifteen
miles an hour, which is four minutes
to the mile. and goes as high as 100
miles an hour, or a mile in thirty-six
seconds, and shows 200 subdivisions.
This card gives locations Of regular
water stations, yard limits, situations
of standard clocks, maximum speed Of
freight trains between different towns,
swhat days are holidays, speeds at
(which trains may cross bridges at
various hours and list of all stations
and trains. 1t is likely, Of course, that
were similar cards furnished to the
travelling public there would be no
abatement Of fool questions. Besides,
It Is not to the interest Of railroad
company to take the public too entire
iy into its confidence York Press.

No More Midways: This is a Moral
Eation-

From the Chicago American.
To Miss Helen Gould this country Is
deeply indebted for many acts Of
patriotism and benevolence and for
the example Of a woman Of the leisure
class who takes a sincere and intelli-
gent interest in affairs.
But we have not been more obliged
10 her for any other one thing than for
her spirited and righteous protest
against turning any part Of the st.
Louis Exposition into an immoral
show. Some such word was needed,
and, we regret to have TO say, badly
needed, aud we are profoundly glad
that 1t came from a source likely tO
compel attention.
That It should be needed in one Of
the singular things about modern life,
and yet with the nauseous memories
Of the Chicago and Buffalo Mldways
strong upon Us there is no question
about the fact.
We are not, II is 10 be supposed,
essentially an immoral people; we have
no sympathy with vice and no desire
10 have Il paraded before US. and yet
In recent years there has grown up
unaccountably and subtly the idea
that one Of these expositions or
national fairs Is not complete without
a disgusting and vulgar sideshow TO
pander 10 the worst instincts Of the
old beast stlll left in mankind.
The most humiliating fact Is that
BO other people In the world has per
mitted the growth Of this delusion.
We are accustomed, with our snug
Anglo-Saxon complaeency, 70 think
our morals Infinitely superior 10 those
q continental nations. And Jet the
Chicago Midway would not be tolerzt-
ed in any exposition in any city Of
Europe. We are accustomed 90 think
that at least in the outward show and
decorum Of morality we are better
than the French. And yet at the
great Paris Exposition Of 1900 there
was nothing like one Of our Midways.

ARRANGEMENTS are being perfected
so that the people Of Mexico will have
the pleasure of hearing Hon. Walter

most entertaining and instructive
lectures ever delivered in Boonyille.

Even a very slight hemorrhage is al
ways startling. but 1t does not neces-
Sarily mean anything dangerous. II
may be caused by a slight disarrange-
ment OF the stomach as wen as By 9
disease OF the lungs or heart. No one
but an experienced physician should
decide this question, however. Let the
patient lie quietly and give him cold
drinks until a physician comes. A Ift,
tie salted water is a simple, familiar
household remedy for such cases.
Quiet and rest are positively essential
II the cause is a serious one.

The Climate 6 Not Changing

1t is common impression that the
climate is changing. The SHOWS are
not as deep, apparently, as they once
we're, the spring rains come earlier and
the autumns are not so pleasant. VIII
lis Moore, chief Of the federal weather
bureau, says emphatically that the
climate has not changed. ut is
said,n according to Mr.. Moore, "that
the denuding OF the land Of forests
and the coming Of irrigation on a large
scale have and will make large chang
es. There are many excellent reasons
for reforestation Of the land, and as
good for irrigation, but neither will
have or has had any effect on the cli-
mate. One asks II the telegraph and
telephone wires, the barbwire fences
and railroads In the middle west have
not Influenced the electric currents Of
the air. Not the slightest. There
has been only one thing which can
think Of which may have made a diff
ference. That is the vapor from the
countless fires Of homes and factories.
Every day many cubic miles Of vapor
are turned loose. Yet the volume Of
the atmosphere is so great that ! am
convinced that even this has caused
no appreciable change in the climate.
Near a city the effect is TO be noticed,
but in short distance from the city
/ the air is in virgin state. Every ten
years, approximately, the weather
will average for localities. The rain
fall equalIzes itself and the winters
and summers are OF average length. "
