Rock Island Deal Is OF.

The deal which was thought some time ago
had been closed between the Santa Fe and Rock
Island roads for joint trackage arrangement is
now finally and officially off, and the prospect is
good for lively competition between the two great
companies for the business of the southwest.
This is good news for Albuquerque. With
the completion of the Albuquerque Eastern the
Rock Island trains will run into the city, but
under such an arrangement as was reported to
have been made month or two ago, there would
have been a community of interest between the
two big lines which would have made the coming
of the Rock Island trains matter of no particu-
lar advantage to US, further than to give US a
choice of routes at the same price. 1t was to
have been combination instead of competition.
But since the trade has fallen through, the COM
ing to this place of the trains of that road will
give us all the advantage to be had from Compel
ing lines.
The Albuquerque Eastern people are doing
everything in their power to get their arrange
ments in shape to commence work during the
present month, and hope to have the road open
for business very early in the spring, Then we
shall have not only two through lines to the east
but three, since it is reported upon good author
itv that the change of gauge on the Rio Grande
will be accomplished by the time the Eastern is
completed to Albuquerque. The railway situation
is highly encouraging, and the general outlook for
the town was never better. Albuquerque Cit

After the Tramps.

Mayor Sparks has instructed City Marshal
Seferino Alard to inform the tramps and other
undesirable recent acquisitions to Santa FEES po-
pulation that their room will be more highly
appreciated by the city authorities and by the
citizens, than their company The marshal to-
day spent considerable time in informing these
parties ina very gentle, but at the same time
rather firm and urgent manner that unless they
HE themselves to more congenial cmes, they
would be arrested and made to work upon the
streets and in other ways would be kindly asked
to do the town some good. New Mexican.
Deming may well follow the example of Santa
Fe in this matter. No town is troubled more with
tramps than this one has been during the past
month"; and we would suggest that they be set to
work.

Shaking Hands.

The custom of shaking hands origi-
mated in the ancient practice of adver-
saries grasping the weapon hand dur
ing a truce as precaution against
treachery. When two friends met they
extended their weapon hands to each
other as a sign that there was no need
to stand on the defensive, and hand
shake was but the natural outcome Of
hearty and vigorous grasp.
Shaking hands appears to have be-
come usual in the middle ages. Grasp
ing hands made it's appearance in early
times as legal act symbolic of the
parties joining in compact, peace Or
friendship. This is well seen in mar
rage, where the hand grasp was part
of the ancient Hindoo ceremony, as
was the "dextrarum junctio" of Rome,
which has passed into the Christian
rite. We see it also used as a mere salu-
tation, as where the tiresome acquaint-
ance met by Horace in his stroll along
the Via Sacra seized his hand.

In conversation with the writer the

story: The talk had turned upon Mrs.

her fortune to Lord Beaconsfeld and
about whom there had just been con-
troversy in the London newspapers.
'Dizzy told me the story Of that cpl

not know, in which she said that she
had read his novels with much inter-

which rendered it necessary for him to
answer the letter. Unfortunately the
letter was left in his greatcoat pocket,

several months after, when he hap

and in the very town in which Mrs.
Willyams lived. Coming across the
letter in such circumstances, it oc-

A Diplomatic omciaI.

During the reign of Emperor Napo-
icon III. he and the empress visited
Normandy and had arranged to spend
a couple of days at Evreux. M. JAN
vier de la Monte, who was the project,
learned that the revolutionaries intend
ed to hiss the sovereigns as they passed,
and so he summoned the leaders of the
movement and told them that he knew
of their plot. "If you carry out your
plen," said he to them, you will get
six months in prison. If you do not
your friends will accuse you of cow
ardice and treason. As way out of
the difficulty I propose to lock you up
at once until the emperor has gone"
The conspirators accepted the terms Of
fered them, and SO the emperor was
greeted only by cheers, as the revolu-
tionaries, frightened at the arrest OF
their chiefs, had not dared to after
sound. After the emperor and empress
had gone the project went in person to
release his prisoners, who had had such
a pleasant time that they greeted him
with cries Of 'fLong live the prefect!
to which NJ. Janvier de la Monte, who
was a man of wit, replied, my friends,

Lowell and Bret Harte.

Bret Harte, flushed with first fame,
was Mr.. Howells' guest for a week
In the early seventies. Harte's breezy
Bohemianisrn delighted Cambridge and
its environs, which quite as thoroughly
amused the young Californian journal
list.
1t was fine to see him humorously ac-
cepting the humorous attribution Of
scientific sympathies from Agassiz in
compliment of his famous epic describ-
ing the incidents that "broke up the
society upon the Stanislaus." 1t was
a little fearsome to hear him frankly
owning to Lowell his dislike for some
thing overliterary in the phrasing Of
certain verses of ''The Cathedral" But
Lowell could stand that sort of thing
from a man who could say the sort of
things that Harte said to him of that
delicious line picturing the bobolink as
he
Runs down brook Of laughter in the air.
That, Harte told him, was the line
he liked best of all his lines, and Low
ell smoked, well content with the
praise. Yet they were not men to get
on well together, Lowell having limita-
tons in directions where Harte had
none.-Harper's.

The Biz Oh of Advertisements.

The first periodical newspaper of the
English press appeared in 1922, but
advertisements were not developed till
1647. In April of the latter year was
published No. 13 of Perfect Occur
rencies of Every Dale Journal in Par
lament and Other Moderate Intelli-
gence," which contained the following
announcement:
"A Book applauded by the Clergy of
England called The Divine Right of

London, corrected and augmented in
many places, with a briefe Reply to
certain Queries against the Ministery

for Joseph Hunscot and George Cal
vert and Are to be sold at Stationer's
Hall and at the Golden Fleece in the

The London Gazette was the first
newspaper to publish commercial ad-
vertisements, which soon began to oc-
cupy so much space that the proprie-
tors, not wishing to charge the Ga
zette with advertisements unless they
be matters of State" issued a Special
Advertisement Supplement, printed
apart and recommended to the Publick

These facts are given by two officers
who conducted experiments to deter
mine the effect of weight on soldiers in
full marching order. The five men who
volunteered as subjects marched dis
lance of fifteen miles and eighty-two
yards. The different weights carried
were forty-eight, fifty-nine and sixty
FIVE pounds. With the first weight it
was found that man at moderate
temperature could cover the distance
with ease; in hot or close weather slight
Inconvenience was experienced, which
disappeared when the march was over,
so that the men could begin the next
day as well as ever.
The weight of fifty-nine pounds did
no harm in moderate weather, but
proved fatiguing when it was hot, and
effects were felt the next day. When
the men carried the third weight the i'll
effects were very marked.
