sNowCAUsEs TROUBLE.
Alleged Dereliction of Motormen-
Wagons Warned Off Car Tracks

On account of the great amount of snow
that has covered the streets this winter
trouble has arisen regarding alleged irregu-
larities In the running of street cars At
times the slippery condition of the tracks
made 1t troublesome for motormen to bring
their cars to full stop on the near side
OF 1ntersecting streets, and at other times,
1t Is stated, cars were stopped beyond the
intersections. in order to give passengers
an Opportunity to get off at points where
they would not have to walk through Snow
over their shoetops.
Complaints have been made to the police
that accidents have resulted from this prac-
tice. 1t was said that drivers have ex-
perienced some trouble because they made
no effort to stop their teams when they
heard the bells of the cars ring to signal
the motorman to stop. Today Maj. Sylves-
ter notified the street car companies that
the practice must stop or the motormen
will be arrested.
Another matter called to the attention of
the police related to the question of the
use of the tracks by teams. Street car
molormen report that they are often put to
trouble by such use of their tracks, and
that traffic is frequently impeded thereby
1t was pointed out to local merchant to-
day that the cars have the right of way
over the tracks and that there is regula-
tior against interfering with traffic in such
q manner
In general order sent to the several po-
lice lieutenarts this morning they were no
tlfieo to instruct the members of their COM
niands to enforce the law against boys
jumping upon street cars. The practice,
the police have always pointed out, is a
dangerous one and the enforcement of the
law is calculated to protect life. The prac-
tice is even more dangerous when the car
steps are slippery than it is during good
weather.

The Choice Of a Wife.

From One OF Mrs. Browning's Letters. 1886.
A German professor selects woman who
can merely stew prunes-not because stew
ing prunes and reading Proelus make a de-
lightful harmony. but because he wants his
prunes stewed for him and chooses to read
Proclus by himself. A fullness of sympathy
q sharing OF life one with another, is scarce.
iy ever looked for except in q narrow. con-
ventional sense. Men like to come home
and find a blazing fire and smiling face
and an hour Of relaxation. Their serious
thoughts and earnest aims In life they keep
on one side. And this is the carrying out of
love and marriage almost everywhere In the
world-and this the degrading of women by
both.

Pedigree" Of "Fog."
From the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
If any Londoner crawling up to business
by train or tram through the fog turned
his idle mind to wondering why it was
called fog he would probably decide that
1t could not have been called anything else.
Fog" is its obvious name. Yet there is
much speculation among philologists on this
point Dr. Murray's dictionary suggests an
interesting pedigree. AS far back as the
fourteenth century fog meant aftergrass,
the rank grass that sprang up after hay
harvest or grew in the winter, while in the
north 1t meant moss. Then "foggy" came
to mean DOGGY; next 1t was used to mean
bloated or puffy. Of the flesh of men or
animals, and, finally, as applied to ale or
air. 1t meant thick. and our modern fog
was derived back from this "foggy." Skeat,
however, goes straight to the Danish "fog, -
as IN snee fog" a snow storm from
"fyge," to drift. The worst of London fogs
Is that they do not drift fast enough

KING AND THE wAIsTcoAT.
Arbiter Of Fashion Called on to Abolish
or Reform Garment.

From the Chicago Evening Post.
One Of the most interesting Developments
in English politics Of late years has been
the activity and we may even say initiative
of the king In public affairs Surfeited, per-
haps, by years spent. SO far as his public
functions were concerned. in the laying Of
cornerstones, he seemed to have determln-
ed to find use In kingship somewhat more
real than occasional oratory. There are
mysterious hits that he succeeded in va
rious delicate foreign missions, that he as
serted himself in internal affairs. and the
conceive Of another Prince Hal and to
dream Of twentieth century Agincourts-
peaceful. of course. in keeping with our
modern humane politics.
Now it has ever been one of the preroga-
tives Of royalty to act as the high priest of
fashion. When monarchy was In its lowest
estate this function al least remained I'M
challenged. Whoever 1t was that made the
laws. 1t was the king or peradventure his
deputy. the Prince of Wales. who made the
tailors.
And so 1t is even today. Whether we live
under king or president. the first gentleman
of Europe legislates for US as to our APP
parel We may not all live up to his stat
utes, but he Is fashions lawgiver for our
race.
1t is In the light of these facts that re-
cent announcement by q London physician
may take on Importance in the eyes of q
progressive and patriotic monarch. This
physician has called the worlds attention
to the fact that the waistcoat (known In
America, as the vest) is preposterous and
pernicious article of apparel. thick where 1t
ought to be thin and thin where IL ought to
be thick He declares. and he is supported
by his colleagues, that the lungs need pro-
lection behind and not before. a hygienic
consideration ignored by the designer of the
original waistcoat and by all his unenlight-
ened successors.
Surely here is an opportunity for an au-
tocrat of fashion. Let the king abolish the
waisteoat and go down in history as a
benefactor of mankind. History is too full
of the sellshness of rank. the vanities of
the great. The high heel saved the pride OF
diminutive majesty. and the beauty patch
came to hide the blemish on royal cheek.
Let us now have real humanitarian edict.
Abolish the waistcoat. or turn 1t round.

The Almighty Dollar.

From the New York Press.
The Almighty Dollar" now universally
accepted as a vivid symbol for the power
of wealth. is slang name which In its
origin had a high significance. The best
and least adulterated silver pieces of the
miGd.e ages were coined in the Joachim's
Tk3l, hence '.thaler" was slang word to
conjure with, bearing somewhat OF the
meaning we now attach to the word "sterl-

came the world-renowned dollar"
