Women as station Agents.

A Western railway is making some
radical changes in the personnel of its
employees, and it is now predicted that
all the smaller stations on its line
eventually will be in charge of women
for it is the introduction of women
station agents which constitutes the
novelty. The innovation was first in
troduced a year ago, the experiment
starting with one woman, who turned
out a most valuable assistant. Not
only were her monthly accounts models
of neatness and accuracy, but she had
been in the office but a short time be-
fore she began to offer valuable sug-
gestions as to how to make the road
| popular with the people along the line.
The full measure Of her c%apability was
not discovered. however, until the Of
icials made a tour of inspection. when
the woman's station was found to be
the best kept one on the road. Inquiry

floors and benches were now clean.
This exceptionally good record encour-
| aged the road to experiment further,
and it is interesting that the other
women appointed have also given a
| good account of themselves. The wo-

why Marriage Is a Failure.

Married life is dull because there are
too many home truths in it and not
enough compliments. No human be-
ings ever have the slightest concep-
ton of how many faults they possess
until after they are married and are
privileged to have their shortcomings
pointed out to them by husband or
wife. This is the greatest disappoint-
ment Of matrimony and the thing that
does more than all else to take the salt
and SAVIOR out of our married life. The
many little tactics by which men and
women attract each other are given up
the minute they are married. No man
and no woman would dream for a min
ute of saying the brutal things to stran-
gers that they say to their own wife
or husband-and yet they wonder that
they do not find each others society
agreeable.
The man who is sure Of finding q fas-
cinated listener in his wife is the man
who never stirs from his own fireside
of an evening, or who shares his pleas

whose husband tells her that she is
getting younger and p~rettier every day
ever one who will some day forget to
love him. Married life is frequently
dull because it has nothing in it but
criticism, and none of us take any
real heart in hearing of III faults.
The truth is that both husband and
wife are hungering for flattery that
they haven't sense enough to give to
each other. Matrimony is nc place for
candor. 1t is an opportunity for dipio-
macy and fattery to do their great and
perfect work, and if men or women TX
pect to make married life interesting
FOR the partners of their bosoms they
must learn how to praise instead of
blame.

His face was very pale when he ceased
speaking. Pauline stood near him, the
color coming and going In her cheeks,
her eyes fixed on his face; but she said
never a word. When he spoke again his
words came slowly, hesitatingly, and his
voice had a stifed sound, as if choked
with despair.
"fou have no answer for me; but you
do not tell me to leave youI 1t cannot
be that, Pauline; heart OF my heart.
queen Of my soul, you love me"
His last words died away TO a whisper
of intense rapture; and. as Pauline felt
his arms encircle her. his kisses on her
lips, she forgot all the shadows that
lurked in the past, forgot all the ques-
tionable means she had employed to at
tain this end. She only knew that she
loved him with all the force of her ma
ture, that she was loved in return; and
for the moment there was in her heart
as supreme a joy As was ever felt by q
woman.

Don't Mention Names.

To mention names in public convey
ances, when talking with a compan-
ion, of persons who are absent, is an
ill-advised as well as an ill-bred pro-
ceeding. The passenger opposite you
in the railway may happen to be the
first cousin, or the intimate friend, or
the nearest neighbor, of the m about
whom you are chatting, whose foibles
you are ridiculing or whose faults you
are holding up to criticism. You would
be greatly embarrassed if you knew
that your unkind, or even your good
natured, comments had an auditor who
recognized their subject, and you
would be distressed at the bare posi-.
bility that your remarks might be re
peated. Never mention anne when
talking in public or in a social gather
ing where your fellow-guests are I'm
known to you. This rule is impera
tive.

CAR WHEELS AND CURVES
Scientific American Answers Questions

Scientific American Answers Questions
Regarding Them.
One Of the questions from CORE
spondents that o,ne 20 this Office
with persistent reiteration is that Of
the possibility Of one or the other Of
the pair of wheels on a railroad axle,
in passing around the curve, slipping
on the rail over which 1t Is rolling,
while the other wheel does not slip
can. Although we have frequently. ex-
planned how this condition is possible,
the question is one that evidently
continues to puzzle a great many
people in which respect 1t Is first
cousin to that other mucb-de-
bated fact, that the portion of
the periphery Of a rolling cart
wheel that is near the ground Is NOV
ing more slowly with relation to the
earth than is the rest Of the periphery.
In the case Of the two wheels on any
axle Of a railroad or trolley car that
Is passing around a curve it is evident
that In a given length, say 100 feet of
the curve, measured on q line lying
centrally between the two rails. the
inner rail will be shorter than the
outer rail, and this for the reason that
1t II struck to a radius that is about
four and three-quarters feet shorter.
Now. when a pair Of wheels passes
around the curve 1t follows that, be-
cause Of the difference in length of
the two rails. either the inner wheel
must slip backward on the inner rail
or the outer wheel slip forward on the
outer rail, for the two wheels, being
fixed on the same axle, move at the
same peripheral speed over different
lengths % rail in the same time.
1t Is probable that the excessive
wear Of the rails on curves Is due
chiefly to the slipping of the wheels
Not long ago some remarkable facts
on rail wear on cUrves were brought
out in the course Of a paper read be-
fore the New England Street Railway
Club by the roadmaster of the Boston
elevated road. The road Is exceeding
ly crooked, over 40 per cent of the line
consisting Of curves. many Of which
are very sharp. There are eighteen oil
less than 10O-foot radius and sixteer
others with a radius OF less than 15(
feet. On the sharpest curve, which 4.

The literature of the so-called "wom-
an question" seems to have no end.
No o n does n phase Of the prob

other insists upon a hearing. Just
now an ex-President of the United
States, having written an article for
a woman's paper On woman's work
and position, the public prints ring
with arguments for and against his
argument. Meantime there arises a
clamor about the clamor. Men and
women begin to De alarmed lest wom-
en- snail become so absorbed in the
cries about themselves that they will

But the excellent retort of the chair
manufacturer to his skeptical and in

truth in many departments Of life.

In the millinery world the ostrich

which makes for grace and beauty and
charm, and its lavish use this winter
bids fair to bankrupt the feminine

match those on the chapeau.
With a charming toque this idea was
carried out most effectively in the get
up of a recent visitor at a fashionable
New York cafe. The hat was 4 small
tricorne of chiffon velvet in a peculiar
shade Of scarlet. Gracing the right
side where the brim turned over al
most in cavalier style were fourplumes
of the same shade as the hat, caught
fiat around the neck, a short cravat
built from tips of the scarlet feathers
was fastened at one side by a tiny
rhinestone buckle. The Irish blue eyes
and deep brown hair Of the beauty
whom this hat and scarf adorned
seemed to belong to a land outside Of
common earth, so wondrously did they
stand out from this brilliant frame.
Neck laces in the more delicate
shades of plumes as well as those dyed
In deep royal colorings also accom-
pany feather-trimmed hats, and if how-
ers are employed IN the latter they
also fasten the tiny cravat.
