street Car Conductor Was Altogether
Too Busy to Preach.
An open car in the Sixth avenue
shopping district was well filed with
passengers. One row of seats was oc-
cupied by three women and a clergy
man, who manfully maintained the
outside seat. A small boy with a
large bundle pushed his way past them
with much Inconvenience to the sit
ters and established himself at the in
side end. When the conductor came
around the boy pushed out a transfer.
The conductor looked at IL and asked:
When did you get this?"
Just a minute ago." was the prompt
reply.
The conductor scowled. "That1l do
for you" he said.
In a minute or so the man at the
end asked: What was the matter
with that Transient"
six hours old" was the conductors
laconic reply.
Then, my man, you should put him
off the car. Why didn't your"
Didn't want to annoy these ladies' -
snapped the conductor, moving along
the footboard. When he came back
he was assailed again.
You are teaching that lad to be dis
honest. You r robbing his employer
and yours. You"
See here, amt you q parson?"
Il am" was the dignifed reply.
Then invite that lad to your Sunday
school and tell him what you've got to
say about dishonesty. 1 amt got NO

Fools All the Doctors.

There is a hale and hearty looking
old chap walking about town" re-
marked a New York physician lately,
who for years has had a complica-
ton of diseases which make him most
interesting to the profession. The
ailments of which he shows undenia-
BILE symptoms are rarely seen in com
bination and the state of his inner
workings is a matter for speculation
among the doctors who have examined
him.
"The old fellow himself loves to tell
that wheh he first asked medical ad-
vice, some twenty years ago, the ply
stefan, a famous practitioner in those
days, wrote across the diagnosis he
had put down on paper: This man
cannot live thirty days. 1 should like
to be present at the autopsy That
great doctor has been lead these
many years and the dying patient still
smiles cheerfully and seeks a cure for
his malady. Queer, isn't it?"

Whale Flesh or Reef2

Whale meat at from three to six
cents a pound is to be the solution OF
the meat trust question, according to
some Newfoundland spectators who
are seeking to make a market fol-
whale meat.
1t is declared that the flesh is finer
favored than beef, more nearly sug.
costing venison, and is capable of be.
ing prepared in a variety of ways.
Whales are not to be found in this
part of the globe in sufficient mum
bers to make a serious inroad into
the sale Of beef, but it is declared by
the promoters that they have already
built up a successful trade in whale
meat with the West Indies, ana that
they shortly intend placing it upon the
Tendon market.
1t is to be shipped in special steam
ers, and even at a price of six cents a
pound will return a handsome profit
while the cheaper cuts may be re,
tailed for half that sum.

Not till life's heat is cooled.
The %headlong rush slowed to a quiet
pace,
And every purblind passion hat has
ruled
Our noisier years. at last
Spurs us in vain, and, weary Of the
race,
We care no more who loses or who wins
All. not till all the best of life seems
past
The best of life begins.
To tell for only fame,
Handicappings, and the tickle gusts Of
For place or power or gold to gild a
name
Above the grave whereto
All paths will bring us, were to lose our
days;
We. on whose ears YOUTHS passing bell
has tolled
In blowing bubbles, even as children do,
Forgetting we grow old.
But the world widens when
Such hope Of trivial gain that ruled us
lies
Broken among our %childhood's toys, fol
then
We win to self-control!
And mail ourselves in manhood, and
there rise
Upon us from the vast and MINDLESS
height
Those cleaner thoughts that are unto
the soul
What stars are to the night.

GAS and WATER
rs ONE AS NECESSARY AS THE
OTHER2
Citizens of Large cities say It Is.

New York. June 13.-In the recent
agitation here about the price Of gas,
the demand for lower rates was sup
ported by the argument that every
resident is as dependent upon a sup
ply of gas as upon a supply Of good
water.
1t has come to pass hat the day
laborer uses gas as his only fuel for
cooking, because of economy, and the
rich man uses gas on account of It's
convenience. Gas for lighting, with
modern improvements in burners, is
cheaper, better and more satisfactory
than any other kind Of light. Gas
sells at $1.0O per thousand cubic feet
in large cities and from that to as
high as $500 in smaller towns.
The consumer of gas in the country
uses Acetylene pronounced a-set-a-
lene), and each user makes his own
gas and is independent of Gas and
Electric Companies. Acetylene is a
more perfect illuminant than the gas
sold by the big gas companies in the
cities, and the cost to the smallest
user is about the equivalent Of city
gas at So cents per thousand.
A~cetylene is the modern artificial
light, the latest addition to the many
inventions that have become daily
necessities.
The light from an acetylene fame
is soft, steady and brilliant, and in
quality is only rivaled by the suns
rays. II water and a solid material
known as Calcium Carbide are
brought into contact, the immediate
result is the making of this wonder
full gas. The generation of acetylene
is so simple that experience or even
apparatus is not necessary to MALE
it. If it is desired to make it for prac-
teal lighting, and to keep it for i'm
mediate use, then a small machine
called an "Acetylene Generator" is
employed. There are many RESPONSE
BILE concerns making acetylene gener'
ators. In practice, this gas is dis
tributed in small pipes throughout
buildings, grounds, or entire cities
and towns, in the same manner as
ordinary city gas. Acetylene is the
only satisfactory means Of lighting
isolated buildings located in the coun'
try or suburbs at a distance from city
gas or electric plants.

Fritz Wanted to Know.

Fritz was the meekest looking office
boy that ever put glue on a bookkeep-
per's stool. He worked for a lawyer,
and one day the lawyer had a woman
client, whose brute of a husband had
beaten her and for whom he filed suit
for divorce.
A weeA later the husband. 6 feet tall
and broad in proportion, came into the
office drunk, announcing his intention
of whipping every one there. Every
one was too busy, to see him and he
was left to Fritz.
Fritz held conversation with the man
and listened to his troubles. Finally
the man declared loudly: I've buried
three wives, two of them in this coun-
ty."
What county buried the other one"
inquired Fritz.

There is a representative in Con.
gress from the West whose special
pride it is to recount the quaint OBJ
servations of his 9-year-old daughter.
Not long ago, according to the proud
father, little Ethel came to him one af-
ternoon and informed him that she
had just seen the Presidents wife
walking with one of the ladies of the
cabinet circle. And, papa" said
Ethel, she isn't anything like as old
as grandma"
"Why, my dear!" exclaimed the con-
gresham, "of course she isn't! Mrs.
Roosevelt is a young woman! How In
the world did you get any other idea?"
well, papa replied the youngster.

was the first lady in the land!"-New

AhAa
Great care should be taken at the
critical period when the young girl
is just merging into womanhood that
tie diet shall contain all that is up
building and nothing harmful.
At that age the structure is being
formed and if formed of a healthy,
sturdy character, health and happi-
ness will follow; on the other hand
unhealthy cells may be built in and a
sick condition slowly superyene
which, if not checked, may ripen into
a chronic disease and cause lifelong
suffering.
A young lady says:
Coffee began to have such an effect
on my stomach a few years ago, that
/ was compelled to quit using it. 1t
brought on headaches, pains in my
muscles and nervousness.
Il tried to use tea in its stead, but
found its effects even worse than
those l suffered from coffee. Then
for a long time [ drank milk alone at
my meals, but it never helped me
physically, and at last It palled on me.
A friend came to the rescue with the
suggestion that l try Postum Coffee,
Il did so, only to find at first, that /
didn't fancy it. But l had heard of
10 many persons who had been benefit
ed by its use that l %persevered. and
when l had 1t brewed right found it
grateful in flavor and soothing and
strengthening to my stomach. l can
find no words to express my feeling
Of what l owe to Postum Food Coffee!
"In every respect it has worked a
wonderful improvement-the head
aches, nervousness, the pains in my
side and back, all the distressing
symptoms yielded to the magic power
Of Postum. My brain seems also to
share in the betterment of my physi-
cal condition; 1t seems keener, more
alert and brighter. l am, in short, in
better health now than / ever was
before, and am SUR / owe it to the
use of your Postum Food Coffee"

A soverelnn Remedy.

Sing no, the smart ~suburbanite-
He is a knowing man!
No aches or pains can him alright
Because he has a plan
To send such things to right about.
Whenever he feels i'll
He s~traightway gets the bottle cut
And k a quinine pill.
No fever e'er can make him fret,
The grip alarms him not;
He takes a pill when he is wet
And one when he is hot.
And when he's troubled with the govt
Or has a sudden chill
He simply brings the bottle out
And takes a q~ulnine pill.
In farming should he hurt his toe,
His back or ankle sprain-
A pill is just the thing, you know,
To chase away the pain;
The surgeon he may safely hout,
He pays no doctors bill
Just gets his faithful bottle out
And takes a quinine pill.

RAILROAD RATE LEGISLATION.

Testifying before the Senate Com
mittee at Washington, Interstate
Commerce Commissioner Prouty said
in discussing the proposition to give
to that Commission the power to Tegu-
late railway rates:
81 think the railways should make
their own rates. l think they should
be allowed to develop their own bust
ness. / have never advocated any
law, and l am not now in favor Of
any law, which would put the rate
making power into the hands of any
commission or any court. While 1t
may be necessary to do that some
time, while that is done in some
states at the present time, while it is
done in some countries, l am opposed
to it. = = . The railway rate is
property. 1t is all the property that
the railway has got. The rest of its
property is not good for anything In
less it can charge a rate. Now it has
always seemed to me that when a
rate was fixed, If that rate was an I'M
reasonable rate, it deprives the rail-
road company of its property pro
tanto. 1t is not necessary that you
should coniscate the property OF a
railroad; it is not necessary that you
should say that it shall not earn three
per cent or four per cent. When
you put in a rate that is Inherently
unreasonable, you have deprived that
company of its rights, Of its property,
and the Circuit Court of the Unsted
States has jurisdiction under the four
teenth amendment to restrain that,
" . / have looked at these cases
a great many times, and l a only
come to the conclusion that a rail
road company is entitled to charge a
fair and reasonable rate, and If any
order of a commission, If any statute
of a state legislature takes away that
rate, the fourteenth amendment pro
tects the railway company"

Strange Sport That ls Enjoyed by Ma.
tiVes Of Siberia.

AlNGa VI 0iDGElcs
A Siberian correspondent of Lon
don Sphere sends some photographs
relating to a form of fox hunting
which is probably unique. The hunt
ing of foxes with eagles takes place
among the Kirghese, in the southwest
district of Siberia, known as the gen
eral government of the steppes. 1t Is
a favorite sport with the Kirghese and
takes place in the autumn and early
winter, when the foxes coats are rud-
dy and perfect, though hunting is not
always confined to this period. The
eagles selected for the purpose are
powerful birds, of such weight that a
small wooden support is carried by
the eagle bearer. A well grown bird
of than usually fierce tempera-
ment will occasionally kill a wolf. Di-
rectly any game is seer the birds
make their flight and swoop down
with great precision. zone of these
birds has, to my knowledge" writes
our correspondent, killed seventeen
foxes in the last six weeks. l can
vouch for this killing of foxes by
eagles, for I personally took all these
photographs and saw the whole sport
from beginning to end. Years ago l
wrote a letter to the Field, telling how
foxes swarm up small pine trees in
Florida when a kill appears immi-
nent. / have frequently seen them do
so, but I was politely told what an
Ananias l must be. So 1 fear that pos
sibly you may desire to tell me the
same thing. l can only assure you
that it is a fact, which u no

WIN she Preferred virnlnia.

William Waugh Smith, Chancellor Of
the Randolph-Macon system of educa-

which befell him in earlies days when
he was one of the engineering party
which ran through the new State line
between Virginia and South Carolina
They had reached a place where the
division would evidently cross a little
form presided over by a not unattrao-
tive widow, but when they took lunch
con at her hospitable table they had
not yet decided whether the house
itself would be in the one State or the
other-and that was a question in
which their hostess showed the keen
est interest.
But at supper time, when again the
surveyors and their assistants were
the lady's guests, DR.. Smith was able
to say: Madame, very little of your
place is in South Carolina. The home
itself is well into Virginia"
With a glad cry she caught his hand,
and as she shook it again and again,
she exclaimed: "Oh, I'm so glad! I'm
so glad! I've always hearn tell it was
so unhealthy daown in Carolina"
