Detention OF freight in transit by

TINY THINGS WHICH PUZZLE.

There are many things every per-
son does and sees daily concerning
which he cannot give positive answers,
a proof that in the average man there
is a sad lack of observation. In order
to test this you have only to put one
or two of the following questions to the
first man you meet and observe his
answer. You will notice that, in most
instances, the object about which you
make inquiries one which your friend
has probably seen every day of his
life, or at all events, sufficiently fire.
quently to enable him to give you a
correct answer had he been observant:
On the average clock or watch is the
figure 4 written ". or I'LL?
The buttons of mans coat are on
the right. Is this the case with the
buttons on ladies' wearing apparel?
Which side of the moon fills and
which side wanes?
How many toes or talons has a cat?
You may think sixteen or twenty. AS
a matter Of fact 1t has eighteen.
Which shoe do you put on first,
right or left?
Into which sleeve do you put your
arm first when dressing?
When you throw anything into a
mans lap he instinctively closes his
knees. Does a woman?
Are cows horns above or below
It's ears?
When you wash your hands do you
put your left or right hand into the
water first, and with which hand do
you take the soap from the soap tray?
How many steps do you go up when
you retire at night? You probably
travel up and down the stairs at least
twice day, so you ought to know.
How happens 1t that sheep, rabbits
and hares have eyes on the sides of
their heads, while cats and dogs have
their eyes nearly in front? Animals
that chase each other have their eyes

in front; animals that fear being
chased have eyes at the sides of the
head so that they may see if any
enemy is sneaking up.
How is it possible for lark, while
soaring, to sing for several minutes
without cessation? 1t is no more trou-
bic for a lark to soar than for a man
to walk; soldiers march better when
singing. Soaring is even easier than
flying ordinarily; it's like sliding down
hill or coasting on a bike.
Cows and horses drink in the same
way that We do, whereas dogs and cats
drink by tapping. Whence arises this
difference Of habit? Because they are
built that way.
Why does a duck waddle in walking2
And what is the need for that trait
Of structure which causes the waddle?
A duck Waddles because her legs are
set far apart and far back They are
far apart because that gives a broad
base for floating on the water and far
back so that the duck can kick be-
hind in swimming like a frog.
How is that a bulldog is able TO
retain his hold for longer period than
other dogs? The bulldog can hold on
for hours because his nose is turned
back, permitting him to breathe easily
with his mouth full.
Throughout the country the roads
nave strips of greensWard several
yards wide on either side Of the part
used for traffic. In what manner did
those strips originate? In England,
where the roads are very old, the sward
at the sides was necessary to feed
animals that men Travelled with from
place to place. So came the custom
that is now retained mainly for tile
looks. Our country roads are made
wide to give plenty of room to "worlx'

times drive their herds long distances
to the railroad, grazing them by the
way, just as English drovers must have
done in the old days.

could be called revenge fool" They
have had no time for revenge, they
have had other and more important
work to do. Had they wasted their
time and energies in this way they
would still belong to the mediocre
class. They would not have had time
to develop the mental and physical
characteristics essential to the attain
ment of success.
Don't be revenge fool. There are
other and more valuable methods of
using your time and your brain. 1t is
not only impossible for the revenge
fool to make a success of life, but hap
piness is foreign to him. His entire
life is embittered by the gall of his
own mentality.
Do you not realize that every time
you try to harm another, or waste your
energy in so much as a wish to harm
them, you are narrowing and embit-
tering your own mind. your own char
acter? You are letting all that is small
and mean impede your progress, in
stead of opening the way for influences
that broaden and strengthen, and bring
success and happiness.

Revenge.
THE REVENGE FOOL.

There are men, and women, too, in
this world whose most highly devel-
oped. keenest sense is that of revenge
They are continually searching for
some excuse for being offended. The
least little offense will cause them to
flare up and become your bittere3t
enemy, and from that time forward
they lay awake at night, use time that
might be valuable, in devising some
method to "get even.' The man who
cut off his nose to spite his face" was
a revenge fool.
The revenge fool! What a pitiable
creature he is! He is always in an ir-
r1table condition, always mad at some
body or something, wasting his energy
and his time searching for a method
of injuring someone towards whom his
enmity is directed.
Look around and note the men who
have made successes, note those who
have gone up and beyond the common
herd, men whose brains and energies
have enabled them to accumulate for
tunes or to accomplish other important
results, and you will find not one who

The third address told the story of
the growth of the internal commerce
of the United States during the CEN

growth of the transportation systems
from $2,000,000,0O0 in value in 1850 to
$4,000, 900, 900 in 1900, or as much in
1900 as the entire foreign commerce of

In the fourth lecture the commerce
