"Holy'' Railroad in Canada.

In these days. when railways are
run for more for what there is in them
for a favoEed few than for the accom-
mediation Of the general public, it may
be interesting to recall the fact that
there is right here in North America
q "holy railroad" This is little line
twenty-one miles long, from Quebec to
Ste. Anne De Beaupre. 1t is sacred
because it claims to run especially for
the accommodation Of pilgrims" and,
above ali, because at its opening few
years since it was formally blessed,
with all its belongings, by Cardinal
Taschereau. Every Sunday the trains
are cBAwded by deyotees in search OF
the blessing Of the good Saint Anne,
who is credited with the miraculous
power Of healing, and on July 26,
Saint Anne's day, the road cannot ac-
commodate the enormous crowds
which flock to her shrine.
Think Of riding on holy railroad:
But those who have travelled on it
know that they must not expect the
comforts Of paradise. 1t may be called
"holy," but 1t seems to be run, none
the less, with an eye to dividends. The
charges are high and the service poor.

Had to Smell the jug.

A fond mother of East Orange. New
Jersey, was in the habit Of sending
her 5-year-old daughter to the grocery
store.
The child usually succeeded In get
ting what she was sent for; but on
one occasion her mother wanted a.
quart Of vinegar. This was a hard
one for the little girl, as the nearest
she could come to pronounce vinegar
was "mi&ener." The clerks, of course.
could not comprehend what she want
ed, and laughed at her.
A few days later her mother needed
some more vinegar and called her
young hopeful again to go to the store
She protested, but without avail. Re-
luctantly taking up the vessel, she pro-
ceeded to the grocery. and walking up
to one Of the clerks who had made
sport Of her defective speech, said:
"smell the Jug and give me tuart."

himself to respectful distance, while
the number Of salaams he makes
while taking your order would wear
out an ordinary back.
Another pleasant trait of these peo-
pie Is their unvarying hospitality and
gayety. You may enter any house and
sit down and the host and his family
gather about you, offering cakes and
tea, all the while chattering like mag
pies. Any little incident that among
Europeans would pass unnoticed is
quite sufficient to send these merry
folk into fits of laughter.
The rural Japanese as rule wear
as few clothes as the law allows, and
since in some districts there Is ne law
on this subject the result is ebvious.
In fact, the children wear nothing at
all in summer, while the men and
women have but scant, very scant,
apology for raiment. The national
garb is, of course, the kimono, but this
Is often cast aside in favor Of a short
jacket and trousers, or among the fish
ermen and the farm laborers a hand
kerchief or other small rag This
scantiness Of clothing, however, seems
SO natural that it rarely excites re-
mark.
All the villages are remarkable for
their cleanliness and neatness, and ex-
cept for some Of their sanitary ar.
rangements are models Of comfort and
simplicity. Agriculture is carried on
with the crudest implements, yet with
a skill and cafe which have made a
garden cut Of land Of barren meun-
tains, while some Of the Nworkmen in
regard to the arts Of joinery and weav-
ing might give valuable hints to our
own people.
A short excursion through this coun-
try will give one fmest pleasant i'm
preston Of the land and its inhabit-
ants, while their quaint courtesy and
persevering industry render them
worthy of considerable respect.

Log cabin to White House"-the
phrase that recalls the careers of Lin
coin and Garfeld-is revived again by
the nomination Of Senator Fairbanks
for the Vice-Presidency. The genera
ton whose star shone above a log
cabin has grown gray. The path from
poverty to success will always be open
to American youth, but in the age Of
great sawmills the poor boy who Is one
day to be famous is born in a house of
boards, which is usually covered with
clapboards or shingles.

One thing which Japan and Russia
have taught the rest of the world by
means Of the present conflict is the
Importance Of a censorship of war
news. Other nations may chafe over
their Inability to get fresh informa-
ton from the field and the headquar-
tiers Of the two armies, but there is no
use in denying the wisdom Of both
combatants in keeping their plans and
their movements to themselves until
such time as they have seen fit to dis
close them. There never before has
been q war in which this has been so
successfully accomplished, and In con-
sequence there never has been one in
which SO few changes In tactics have
been necessary through the leaking of
Information.

JAPANESE ARE ECCENTRIC.
Politeness the Rule, from the Rick.

Politeness the Rule, from the Rick
isha Man to the Hotel Porter.
The native Japanese, particularly
those who have not come into close
contact with modern civilization, is
distinguished as much by his natural
courtesy and politeness as by his
aversion to clothing. The peasants In
the interior are especially noted for
their punctilieusness In saluting one
another; even rickisha men hurrying
along the road with a passenger will
sometimes stop to greet friend, while
pretty woman receives a reverence
indeed. This salutation Is not merely
d word or nod, but low bow and
a flourish Of that little mushroom hat,
and the greater friends they are the
lower the bow. In saying good-by two
Japs never see each others faces,
both being so busily engaged in bend
Ing their backs. AS soon as one
straightens himself the other bows,
going backward all the while, until
they consider it polite to refrain.
When a foreigner passes through a
village every person he meets, from
the little child to the old man. will
bow most profoundly, SO that the pas
sage partakes Of the nature Of tri-
umphal procession. Your waiter at
the hotel, too, would never think of
turning his back until he had bowed

1t is time to put stop to moter
madness. We mean both kinds of
madness, that of the begoggled
"scorcher," who drives his locomotive
at furious speed upon the highway
without regard for limb or life Of him
self or Of others, and also that Of those
stones or shoot bullets at the "scorch-
ing" law-breakers. Doubtless it is not
right to shoot at motormen or at their
engines, though it is not difficult to
understand how strong the provoca-
ton to do SO is at times. That form
OF madness must be checked. But so

Men Charge Blacklist.

While all of the paper mills in Apple
ton are now running with a full crew OF
men. most of whom are the former en-
ployes who were on the strike, none OF
the officials of the Appleton Brotherhood
of Paper Makers have been reinstated III
their old positions. With the exception
of President James Toland, who has gone
east. the different officials applied with
the balance of the members of the union,
but in not a single case was one of them
taken back. 1t is understood that they
will not be able to obtain a position III
any mill in Wisconsin, as there appears
to be an agreement between the manu-
facturers on the Wisconsin river and
those affected by the strike in Appleton,
that these men are out for good.

Court itself do not always agree on 1t.

of their peers when accused Of viola
ton Of the law may cite the opinion OF
the four dissenting justices in support
of their views. But they should not
forget that for the present the con-
trary view of the five justices is the
law. 1t might be well, too, for them
to remember that the nine justices
must still sit on the same bench and
pass upon questions of law just the
same as if they did not hold radically
different views on many questions.

+. E. Nieberlink of the Nordbers
Manufacturing Company was thrown
from his auto into the Kinnickinic river
in Milwaukee with the machine on top or
him, but was dug out without suffering
serious injury. He was crossing the
bridge at First avenue in his car, when
the machine hit rail and flew through
the side of the bridge into the river be-

he stuck there, with the machine ON top
of him. The water at this point IS shal-

They were able to lift the machine, when

It is a hopeful sign of desire for
sane living, in our strenuous age, when
the people are ready to listen to the
doctors discuss the question of how to
postpone old age. That there is popu-
lar interest in the problem Of longevity
is evidenced by the many contributions
to the public prints upon this subject
by scientific men. \ most interesting
and instructive contribution to the dis
cussion is made by writer in the
London Lancet. AS usual he pretaces
his suggestions as to how to prolong
life by trying to impart to the layman
a correct understanding of what "old
age u.s. Old age is a hardening of the
coats of the blood vessels, a drying up
Of the tissues and a stiffening OF the
ioints. Therefore, says the writer,
keep your tissues moist and your
Joints we'll oiled" This does not mean
to live in the water or to drink olive
oil. 1t means a certain amount OF ex-
ercise taken regularly every day in the
open air. This regular exercise-not
spasmodic gymnastic spurts-strength-
ems the heart, causing that organ to
pump the fluids Of the body to the re-
motest corners, thereby improving nu-
triton and causing all the other Or
gans to do their natural work. This
nutrition abundantly supplies the body
with power and furnishes material for
the combustion which, when sufficient
ly strong, gives the body the ability to
resist chiIls, which are the natural enc
mics Of life. To this advice as to how
to keep the tissues from drying up and
the joints from stiffening the writer
adds this regarding food: I'm the
matter Of food my recipe for longev-
ity will strike, am afraid, the Amer
lean people in O. weak spot The most
important advice Is to refrain from
large quantities of meat and eggs. The
latter, when eaten In large quantities
or continually every day for the three
meals, or even for two meals, are as
destructive to length Of life as the
regular and free consumption of alco-
hol. In fact, no matter what kind Of
food is taken, the quantity should be
Su1dlls Lis Auu4dA OONJ SSAAA AANO AtAAN
thrive and work on a surprisingly
small quantity Of nourishment. Great
moderation In eating is, therefore, one
of the keys that unlock the doors Of
long living" The nervous system,
he further adds, ought to be kept in
healthy condition by regular mental
work and judicious occupations. The
wearing" theory, both as to mental
and physical work, is wrong. Both
should be continued in old age. Well
directed mental work assists the nu-
triton of the brain just as the action
Of a muscle promotes It's nutrition.
In the matter Of sleep hesays: 'Too
much sleep is injurious. From five to
seven hours Of sleep daily are suffi-
cient for an adult"
