Haif-Fares In Switzerland.

Hereafter there will be no possibil-
ity of passing off S-year-old children
as under years of age In Switzerland.
The railway authorities have decided
that the sin of fibbing about child's
age to escape paying its car fare must
be met in some other way than by
means of moral instructions. The rail-
way men claim that the loss Of chill
dren's fares on the railroads every
year reaches an enormous amount, and
in order to avoid the chances Of any
dispute as to the age of the child the
rule has been laid down that in case
Of doubt the child must be measured,
says the Street Railway Review. Those
under two feet in height are to be al
lowed free passage, while those be-
tween two and four feet In height pay
half-fare. II this method is not ideal
it at least puts the question of age be-
yond dispute.-Chicago Journal.

$4,000 for POstOffiCe Building.

During the last Congress our rep
resentative, Judge Cooney, intro
duced bill, suggested by Col.
Switzler, appropriating $4,000 for
the erection in Columbia of a build
ing for post-office, which was re-
ferred to the Committee on Public
Buildings and Grounds; the bill pro-
viding, among other things, las all
such bills provide) that the building
should not be located less than forty
feet from all others.
1t could not reasonably be expect
ed, as the last was the short session.
that the bill would be thoroughly
considered, discussed, or passed.
The present being new Congress,
and the Missouri Legislature having
by redlstricting placed Boone county
in Judge Shackleford's district, that
gentleman becomes our represent
ative instead of Judge Cooney.
On last Thursday, therefore, Judge
Shackleford reintroduced the bill, at
the instance of Col. Switzler, who, it
seems, is it's vigilant and active pro-
moter, and it was referred to the
present Committee on Public Build
ings and Grounds, which consists of
Messrs. David H. Mercer, Nebraska;
Charles w. Gillet, New York; Rich
ard Bartholdt, Missouri; Edwin G.
Burleigh, Maine; Benjamin F. How
ell, New Jersey; Joseph b. Showal-
ter, Pennsylvania; j. P. Conner,
Iowa; E. w. Martin, South Dakota;
E. s. Minor, Wisconsin,; John H.
Bankhead, Alabama; John S. Little,
Arkansas; William G. Brantley,
Georgia; Charles r. Thomas, North
Carolina; John L. Sheppard, Texas;
Robert w. Miers, Indiana.
This is an intelligent and fair
minded committee, headed by
chairman, Mr.. Mercer, of Nebraska q,
of large experience in that position;
and if the facts and considerations
which commend the measure to
Congressional approval are fully pre-
sented to it the committee, we be-
lleve, will report in favor of its pas
sage.
Our citizens should cooperate with
Judge Shackleford, and the other
members of both Houses from Mis-
souri,, in their efforts to make the
bill law.
Let us have the new post-office
building. The needs of the service
demand it and the population, State
University and other colleges and
schools, and the large and increas-
ing patronage of the post-office justi-
fly it.

The Irish potato crop OF this year is
proving by far the best that the farm
ers have grown for close on 80 years.
The tubers, as a rule, are Of good size,
and the outcome CT the highly favor
able season is made clearly percepti.
BILE by the excellent cooking properties
of the tubers at present on the mar
ket. It is somewhat curious that the
crop should have been so very dis
tinctly favored Just at time when ad-
visers on all hands are recommending
farmers to reduce the area under po-
tstoes for something more lucrative.
Even though the crop is such bounti-
full one this season 1t is doubtful II II
will pay, as prices are low owing to
the large returns.

Do animals weep? Explorers say
hey do. Lady Burton says that she
GAS seen horses in the Syrian desert
cry from thirst, mule cry from the
pain Of an injured foot and a camel
shed tears in streams. Gordon Cum
ming declares that he has observed
tears in the eyes of dying elephant,
and DR.. Livingstone used to have a pet
ape which cried when the explorer
would not take it in his arms.
Wounded apes have died crying and
apes have wept over their young ones
slain by hunters. Sea lions are said to
cry for the loss of their young, and a
giraffe which had been injured by the
rife of hunter began to cry. An
other explorer tells Of chimpanzee
which had been trained to carry water
Jugs. 1t let one fall and break and In
