defiance of every consideration of de, cency and physical well-being?

Recently a German government off cfaI speaking of the low railroad frieght rates in this country. expressed a doubt whether those of his nation could be placed on the same level. He thought that the cost of moving mer- chaudise in Germany must continue to be greater because, among other things the distances are so short and the ship ments are usually small. Evidently this official had net learned how well the long and short haul clause" of the interstate commerce law works. The manufacturers of this country, for eX- ample. do not all have the benefit Cf especially low rates because their pro ducts are carried far by the railroads. Much of our iron and steel is shipped to the sea from short distances. Per haps the German railroad rates would be lower if the government would en- courage a measure Of competition in traffic; if the kaiser's canal system is built it's cheap haul certainly viii com pei the roads to reduce charges. No one knows what the Chicaso-New York grain rate would be if it were not fer the Erie canal, notwithstanding the shaIlovness Of that water route.

in Rochester. \. Y. the street rail way company is planning an anti spittirg crusade, just as the city O! Phoenix did four years ago. and with less reason than we did. This is an excellent idea and ought to be adopted in other cities. But when will there be a crusader bold enough to attack the evil of promiscuous splitting in the smok- ing cars on steam railways? The ordinary smoking car, ten minutes after it leaves it's starting point, is more nauseating place than a we'll
 kept pig pen. There is TO reason why railroad companies should allow their passengers to violate all the rules of health and decency by covering the floor of car with tobacco juice and unmeEtionahle filth. The spectacle is so familiar that the public is half hardened to it. but why should 1t be permitted to continue indefinitely in

Domaesticated Ferns.

The lover of ferns win find it an
easy matter to donesticate many OF
the most attractive varieties If he or
she will be content to take young
plants. They should be removed from
their native haunts with a good
amount of soil adhering to their roots.
Give them. If possible, shady place
to grow in. and make the soil as light
as that in which they originally grew.
1t is we'll worth while to get wagon
load or two OF soil from the woods for
the especial use of these plants. In
lifting them wrap each in a deep bas-
ket, applying enough water to saturate
the soil clinging to the roots. Do not
plant them in the border until after
sundown. If the next day is sunny,
shade them well and shower them fire.

the old fronds will die of, but If care

lost.-Eben f. Rexford in Lippincott' s

Man Eating wild Men.

In the celebrated ''Travailes" of Ed

that would make Munchausen turn
green with envy. One of the most cele-
brated Of these is his story of the wild
men of Prester John, which is as fol-
laws:
"In the court of Prester Iohn there is
a wilde man and another in the high
street of Constantinople whose allow

THE Natives Make Little Effort Go
Combat the Trying Conditions.
The Japanese winter is most trying
on account of its continual dampness
but the Japanese are content to remain
cold: They make almost no effort tc
overcome!it. The old ''bushido'' (chfv.
alrous) idea of the "samurai'' (knights;
was that 1t was effeminate to feel cold
and such is their severe training that
they do not really feel it as we do. The
wearing OF some extra "kimonos'' and
the use OF ''hibachi" or brazier in
which are few tiny sticks OF lighted
chareoa! are the only concessions to
winter weather. With the "hbachi''
they never pretend to heat more than
their finger tips. which they hold over

clothes and are always padding

the houses OF the rich the still cold be-

DUMAS AS A COOK.

We Was Particularly Good I'm the
Preparation of Turkeys.
Dumas pere was in producing the
slave of his pen and never studied in
his life. No author ever owed less to
education or book learning and more
to perpetually fresh and unsophisti-
Gated mind and to sociable intercourse
with the bright spiri@l of his day, the
upper Bohemia, the best artists, dra-
matte authors and lions of various
kinds of his time. His one accom-
plishment was his neat, flowing, clerkly
handwriting, but he knew nothing of

ture, and as he had never thought of
punctuation before he burst on the

Dumas had not been the author of

brought him each fortune (Which he
spent as soon as he made), he might
have been a great cook.

years before his death at the house of
Gudin, the painter. He came to cook
it in this way: Gudin, meeting him
on Friday on the boulevard, said:
"A friend has just sent me three splen-
did turkeys from Devonshire. What
shall l do with them%' You should
let me cook them" said Dumas. "All
right" But l must go tomorrow to
prepare them for the spit Dumas
arrived next morning with hamper
full of truffies for the turkeys and, not
to allow any to go to waste, brought
calves sweetbreads and other delica-
cies which are the better for truffie ac-
compartments. He prepared his ''plats"
carefully and suggested that if Gudin
wished to invite friends to a particu-
larly well cooked lunch then was his
time. Perhaps" he added, "you had
better call on Alboni and ask her to
come. She will crown the feast by
singing a brindisi." So said, SO done.

at high desk especially constructed
for him, throwing off sheet after sheet
as fast as he filled it till he would be
quite showed up in leaves Of foolscap.
He often rose in the middle of the
night to note down an idea or verse.
He got up for the day usually at &
o'clock and would devote from six to
eight hours per diem to his work. He
made but few corrections. his poems
being thought out complete in his brain

TANKS OF FACTS.

There Is n Difference Between Ta~
formation and Knowledge.
A great many people mistake infor-
nation for knowledge. What a man
most needs is not that he may be pos
sessed of an accumulation of facts, but
that he may know where to look for
the facts when he wants them. We all
know the unpleasant individual who is
continually seeking information. You
show him about your city and he asks:
"HOw many miles of street railway
have you in your cityf' What is the
price OF ice here this summer" How
many churches are there here?" "How
cong has that building been standing?"
etc, ad nauseam. You don't know and
wonder why he wants to. You know
where you can find out, and that is
enough for you.
And then there is that equally dis.
egreeable person who actually seems
to be a tank of facts. He has more in
formation than anything else and de-
lights In asking you most extraordinary
questions. When you confess your ig-
norance, he will look upon you with
pity and exclaim, What, don't you
know?" and then tell you when you
don't want to know at all. For exam
pie, he is much surprised because you
don't know how long the Amazon river
Is. He permits you-nay, he insists
that you should guess, only that he
may the better humiliate you. His
brain is so incumbtred with facts that
it is almost useless. Life is too short
for a man to try to constitute himself
a library OF universal knowledge when
the reservoirs of such knowledge are
ready to hand when it is needed.-Man-
