TRAINING COLLEGE CREWS.

miles In the afternoon. It's pretty hard
work. When the morning work Is over
we are glad to loaf a while, and after
the row at night we are ready to

Nevertheless, every precaution was
taken that there be no violation OF dis
cipline. After taps" the captain reg
ularly made the rounds Of the bed
rooms to see that all his men were
there. 1t was well understood that IL
a man broke training he would be tax
en- from the crew, reduced from po-
sition which he had worked hard to
attain, be forever disgraced, and an
other man put in his place. But the
college pride Of the men. their loyalty
to their friends, their determination to
win, were stronger forces than all the
threats in the world in urging them
to do their best.

1t is shown by Col. NJ. X. Jefferds In
the London Financial News that from
1870 to 1890 the New York Central
Railroad reduced its working expenses
per ton mile by more than 81 per cent,
while wages were increasing, and since
1890 by 40 per cent, while the English
companies have made practically no re-
duction in the thirty years.
The cost, for instance, of moving a
ton of freight one mile on the London
and Northwestern Road is 13S cents
as against .235 of cent ON the New
York Central. and only .4S5 of cent
on the Great Northern Road, which
runs through the thinly settled North
west. The New York Central freight
charge per ton mile in 1870 was 1.SS
cents, and in 1900 only .76 Of a cent

His truth is marching on.

ART OF KEEPING COOL.

Common Sense Gives Immunity from
Heat Exhaustion.
With the summer comes the annual-
ly recurring warning from health
boards, cold blooded scientific societies
and independent order OF never-sweats
against the folly OF counting heat pros.
tration. Reduced to Its elements, the
advice of these wise men rs to the con-
duct of life during the heated term
is simple aud Ineligible. Keep cool:
don't get excited; don't eat anything
that Is heating; don't drink anything
that Is cooling; wear chiefly a broad
smile and wet sponge on the head;
don't move nor breathe except when
absolutely necessary-such are few of
the minor maxims Of hot air philosophy
dished up from year TO year for the
consumption of swelterlng masses In
the great cities. or all cants that are
canted during the silly season, surely
the cant of keeping cool is the most ag-
gravatng.
There Is really no mystery In the mat
ter, little occasion for PRONUNCIATION OF
wise saws and modern Instances, no
consuming public desire for dependence
upon anything but native horse sense
for Immunity from heat exhaustion and
sunstroke. A reasonable degree OF pre-
caution, such as would occur naturally
to every citizen oppressed by undue ex-
cess OF temperature, may be depended
upon to tide over the brief emergency
without intermlssion of accustomed
physical nourishment and solace. The
life-giving sun Is humanlty's greatest
boon and most faithful sustainer, even
when pouring a superabundance OF heat
rays from the zenith.
Dealing with estival temperature IL,
after all, largely an affair of temper
ament and locality, to be adjusted from
day TO day In accordance with ever
changing and rarely repeated condi-
tions. simple and sane philosophy OF
common sense III the surest refuge

nineties, no less than In graver exigen-
cies on this mundane sphere.--Philadel-

More people takes their lives when the
