THE PROPER USE OF

Free RAILWAY PASSES.

4 do not believe that there is State
in the Union that has as stringent and ef-
fectiye law against the issuance OF free
passes by railroads as Wisconsin has.
remarked Col. Isaac II. Wing, of Bay
field Wis. at the New Willard.
I'm my time I've had good deal to do
with legislative matters and transporta-
tion interests, and when three years ago
our Legislature enacted this anti-pass
statute | felt that a great reform had
been accomplished. Certainly it is not
true that the acceptance of pass means
that 4 man has been bribed to do the will
of the corporation that tenders it, but by
aholishing the practice there is no room
left for thinking evil and of arOusing the
suspicion and ill-will of a large class that
can never expect to receive free trans
pOrtation. In order to use a pass on any
railroad in our State the holder of il has
to sign an iroHclad statement that reads
as follows:
And as a further condition of my he
ing allowed to use this pass I hereby &C.
clare that l am not a member or en-
plove of any political committee in Wis
consin, nor candidate for or an incum-
bent of any office or position under the
constitution or laws of Wisconsin or un-
der any ordinance of any town or munic-
ipality of that State, and that this pass
was not requested by and is not for the
advantage of any such person or per-
sons"

The LdfcSf London Fad.

Crystal-gazing is still popular, but the
very latest thing in use in London is a
black mirror, in which the sibyls say they
mirrors come from India, where a spot of
ink has always been fayorite vehicle for
divination. The native boy who has the
second sight is told to look fxedly at a
spot Of ink, which is poured into his palm.
The black mirror is said to be every bit
as good as the ink and il is certainly
more cleanly. IL is made of a piece of
black glass set in a wooden frame. and
is small enough to be held inside the
hand.

WHEN WOMAN FEELS
LIKE Sinking

The household is not the only domain
in which the question of conscientious
shirking comes up. Even a business wo-
man who lives in a boarding house, and
has no foreknowledge of what she shall
eat or drink. cannot escape from the
burden of the wherewithal she shall be
clothed. The wear of business life upon
womans clothes is so great that it
would take half the evenings in the
week. if not all of them. to keep her
clothes up TO the proper standard. the
"Morgue" standard, as some one calls
il. meaning, of course, the perfection that
will bear detailed examination
There are always rips and worn places
in the bindings of skirts ard petticoats
to mend; dress shields to wash and re-
new, boots to black. neckties to press.
stocks to manufacture, Innings of col
lars. ribbons. and gloves to clean. hand
kerchiefs and lace collars to wash and
iron. stockings to darn hair to shampoo.
nails TO manicure-the list is endless.
Il spend half my free time over such
things as these working woman once
said and the worst of it is that. after
all my work. halt the girls in the office
look trimmer and better groomed than |
do. 1t is absolutely discOuraging'
Selfrespect is the important consider
alton in settling the question from the
personal point of view. What will my
self-respect allow me to shirk? Is my
first duty TO my clothes or isn't it, To
me personally no mental development
can reconcile me to untidiness; hut on
the other hand. no amount of tidiness
can reconcile me to empty headedncss.

AN OBJECT LESSON ON THE MATTER
OF THE POLITICAL WOMAN
to

public affairs were the personal
qualities of Queen Victoria.
\ lesson that can never be lost has
therefore been given to history. 1t
has been shown that a woman can be
a great statesman. not only interest
ed, but absolutely immersed in pol
iticS. and at the same time a de-
voted, unselfiSh wife, seeking the
glory and the happiness of her hus-
band equally with or before her
own ambitions; a mother capable
of bearing healthy children, even
in quick and long succession, and
of so training them as to make
them all respectable members of
society, many of them above the
average in goodness and capacity.
and most of them passionately de
voted to herself as their sweet
mother" as Princess Alice SO often
calls her in her letters; that she
can display through all her public
graciousness, ,gentlenesS, and tact;
and finally, that she can endure IL
all. the donble life of the mistress
of the home and the public worker,
not merely without breaking down,
but in the enjoyment throughout
of quite exceptional health, retain
ing her brain power in almost its
full perfection to an age consider
ably beyond that traditionally al
lotted to the race OF man.
This is an immensely valuable
obiect-lesson. the effect of which
on the progress of women general
iy must necessarily be great. and it
can never be taken away. for the
record is completed without one Sc
rious blot.

Queen Nictoria'S Life Used

Will confine myself to presenting
one thought: namely, How admir-

directly affecting and ordering in

that of women in general might be
expected to do in the same lines.
Peace was upheld by her-moral-
ity and goodness alone won her
personal patronage-her own rec
ord is unstained by personal vice
and political crime. The influence
on society that has been exercised
merely by her making virtue and
morality. domestic sweetness and
purity of life, an example in the
highest places. and, so to speak,

very great consequence.

Government Ownership.

Z government ownership.
1T may sound like Populistic talk. but
my belief is that sooner or later the
American people will come to the conclu-
sion that it is in the interest of the pub
lie for the Government of the United
States to own and operate the steam rail-
roads of the country" said former Con
gressman Charles D. Haines. of Kinder
hook, y. Y, at the Riggs House.
Mr.. Haines is millionaire owner of
railways himself and is heavily interested
in many other great industries. He was a
member of the Fifty-third Congress, but
was too busy man TO stay in politics.
lie started out in life for himself at four
teen, and before he was twenty built a
street railway seven miles long, OF which
he was made president.
Yes" he continued. Government own
ership is entirely practicable, and the ex-
perience of other countries shows that
railways can be managed by the Govern
ment with success and to the profit and
satisfaction of the people. l think in
course of time that the owners of rail
roads Will be heartily in favor of letting
the Government take hold of them. OF
course these properties will not be confis
Gated. but bought at fair price and ad
ministered in the interest OF the whole
people.
The change would mean cheaper rates,
both passenger and freight which would
result in heavy increase in the volume
of business. \ more rapid development of
the country would be another certain re-
suit. and last, but not least. the big army
OF employees now in the service of the
railways would be assured OF permanent
employment. There would be no more
