FIXING RAILROAD RATES.

Making railroad rates is like play
Ing a game of checkers or chess. Com
munities to be benefited, producers,
manufacturers or shippers to be aided
represent the pieces used. Every pos
sible move is studied for its effect
on the general result by skilled traf-
fic managers. A false move in the
making OF freight rates may mean the
ruin of city, of great manufacture
Ing interest, of an agricultural COM
munity. Railroads strive to build up
ali these so that each may have an
equal chance in the sharp competi-
ton of business. So sensitive to this
rivalry are the railroads that in order
to build up business along their lines
they frequently allow the shipper 20
practically dictate rates. Rate max
ing has been matter of development;
of mutual concessions for mutual
benefit That is why the railroads of
the United States have voluntarily
made freight rates so much lower in
this country than they are on the
government-owned and operated rail
ways of Europe and Australia that
they are now the lowest transporta-
ton rates in the world.

In tracing up the various faults
To which mankind is heir,
The great the small, the odds and ends
Scraped up from here and there,
No doubt you'll find some fiinty breast
Their hiding place, but then,
There's still a deal of hcaVenliness
Within the worst of men.
In tracing up the virtues, all,
To which mankind is heir,
The virtues great, the virtues small,
The virtues odd and rare,
Perhaps you'll md them centered In
Some other breast, but then
There's still a lot of hellishness
Within the best OF men.

Nor anxious to COndone;

DEATH IN TRAILING SKIRT
Danger That Turks in Present Day Obedience
to Fashions Whm

The following short story from the
Woman's Journal is very timely In the
warning given against trailing skirts;
Only a little dust, almost impercep-
tible dust, caught on the rug on the
floor of the handsome hall
1t was a Turkish rug. lying on the
perfectly waxed, hardwood floor, in
hall where neatness seemed to reign
along with all the appointments OF
wealth.
But there was that almost imper-
ceptible dust How did it come there?
If you had ears that could hear its
voices it would tell you. 1t would
say that It had .clutched a fold on the
beautiful lady's gown and come in
from the street
1t was beautiful gown as well as
beautiful lady--a tailor-made gown,
and its fashionable bias nounce trailed
stylishly on the ground.
Everything was stylish about the
lady, from her fair face, with
rather deep circles below the eyes, to
her slender and handsome walking
shoes. She walked trailing her gown
properly, dust or no dust. Indeed, she
ignored the dust of the street; but will
the dust ignore her?
Let us listen, if she will not, for
this almost imperceptble dust moves
and acts with fearful force, and If we
listen possibly we may understand its
language
Soon after coming in on the beauti-
full lady's gown, other steps followed
and other gowns helped to move the
dust along farther into the house; but
II had q fancy for the beautiful lady.
Her frallness attracted it and it fol-
lowed her to the bed chamber. Her
feet had never trod the loathsome
precincts whence it came, but it came
to her on her gown.
Soon there came to the chamber a
little child, sweet, rosy cherub. In
its romping it stirred the dust about.
Then the dust began to be sepa-
rated, being formed of many particles,
and these talked among themselves.
AS they talked they danced back and
forth, waltzing, swirling, capering,
with every motion Of the child and its
mamma, the bear full lady.
A scientist could have understood
them If he had caught some of them
under his microscope. He would have
called them germs" With what
alarm he would have recognized the
diphtheritic, and with what dismay
would he have seen the tuberculous
germ approaching the frail lady.
Back and forth dancing, caperlng,
Waiting, the germs kept time while
baby, in its mothers arms, said, as
thousands of other little ones were
saying
Now ! lay me down to sleep,
] pray the Lord my soul to keep;
II l should die before / wake,
i pray the Lord my soul to take"
This baby was saying it for the last
time.
When night came again, thousands
of little voices sent up the baby pray
ers, but this one was gasping out its
little life on mammals bosom-de
stroyed by a germ.
A yellow card at the front door
warned all corners against diphtheria.
The beautiful lady vainly sought
health for a year. or more, then found
rest beyond the sorrow and the part
ing"
Broken hearted" it was said.
Found death in the dust of the
street" said the microscope A vic
tim of the long skirt.

The American Heart.

The American Heart.
We have heard much about the
American stomach and the American
nerves, but we are just awakening to
a discovery that there is being rapidly
developed a form of heart disease
which, If not peculiar to America, may
at least be said to be more prevalent
in this country than in any other part
of the world. The heart-wealiness re-
,sulting from the use of tobacco and
alcohol and from a sedentary life on
the one hand, and extremely violent
eXertlon on the other hand, is no long
er rare condition, but has come to
be one of the most common affections
with which the physician has to deal.
A large proportion of the men reject
ed in the army examinations are re-
fused on account of heart weakness.
A large proportion of the public men
who die suddenly die as a result Of
the failure of the heart. The same
may be said also of many of the
reported to be pneumonia, typhoid fe-
yer and other affections in which spe-
cial strain is brought to bear upon the
heart, and in which the failure Of the
organ to meet the emergency is one Of
the most common causes of death. The
cigar, the cigarette and the pipe are
probably the most common cause of
this growing frequency of cardiac af-
fections; but the neglect of physical
exercise, overeating, the use Of condi-
ments and excuses of all sorts are
also to large degree responsible for
the rapid increase of this grave NAL
ady.
