At the biennial convention of tho

in part represented. These resolutions

ways, who, with practical unanimity.
have Joined with the President on this
question" They then respectfully
point out to Congress the "inadvisabil-
fty OF legislation vesting in the hands
Of a commission power over railway
rates, now lower by far in the United
States than in any other country" be-
cause such regulation would result in
litigation and confusion and inevitably
tend to an enforced reduction in rates.
irrespective Of the question Of the abil-
ity Of the railroads to stand the reduc-
ton, especially in view Of the increased
cost Of their supplies and materials"
They further protested against such
power being given to the present Inter-
state Commission because 1.-The pro-
posed legislation is not in harmony
with our idea Of American juris-
prudence, inasmuch as it contemplates
that a single body shall have the right
to investigate, indict. try. condemn and
then enforce its decisions at the cost
Of the carriers, pending appeal, which
is manifestly i~nequitab.e."
The conductors base their demand
for only such legislation. if any, as
would secure and insure justice and

parties concerned on the ground that

railway management and operation

ON SELECTION OF WALL PAPERS

She is a very careless housekeeper
who does not take great interest in her
house at this season. With rooms
frightened with new paint and paper
and freshly Numbered curtains, a
charm of novelty exists for some weeks
to come. There is a ~pleasurable ex-
element in selecting the decorations
Of rooms, and this year the wall papers
are especially beautiful. A pattern
favored for a room not broken by many
windows and doors represent vines or
s%hrubbery running toward the top OF
the room, where the design ends in a
mass of bloom. A rose paper with
branches of green leaves tipped with
crimson or pink roses is a cheerful
| selection and suggests a delightful
| scheme of carrying out the same idea
in furnishings. I would suggest. how
ever, that instead Of trying to match
the paper with c%retonne, the crimson
and green be used as touches of color
instead of being brought again into
great prominence in the cushions and
draperies.
ILLS Sly 1t VI wall popCl ID uSCu AoiSS
~ in bed rooms, and of course the eff
feet is not improved by being broken
up with little passee partout pictures
Or in fact by anything hung on the
walls. The same paper al be used on
cottage dining rooms where the furni-
ture used is not heavy. It might, how
ever, be carried to the plate rail in
more imposing rooms and the space
above be treated with a plain paper as
background for the plates, stein, ETC.,
used as a decoration. But by all means
avoid the effect of framed pictures or
rof china suspended amid vines and
trees.
The value of tile or washable papers
is also recognized for bath rooms and
nurseries, but they are equally good for
back stairs and narrow halls where
the walls are liable to be defaced by
hands resting against them.-Man-

Trees STRANGE Crop.

There is a curious sight in the fork
of an umbrella tree on Washington
street, between Fourth and Fifth ave
nues. It is a fine growth Of wheat
almost ready to come out into head.
The stocks are nearly two feet long
and the blades broad and healthy
looking. It was at first thought that
this growth consisted of shoots from
the tree, but on closer examination it
was found to be wheat. It has no
foundation of earth, Or if there is any
it is so hidden by the growth as to be
invisible. The wheat grains in some
way found Judgment in the ~crevices
Of the bark and have probably had no
other earthly bed than that formed
by dust which during the dust storms
OF the summer was blown there.-Ari.

New York, June 13.-In the recene
agitation here about the price OF gas.
the demand for lower rates was sup
ported by the argument that every resi-
dent is as dependent upon a supply OF
gas as upon a supply of good water.
It has come to pass that the day Ia
borer uses gas as his only fuel Tor
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. s
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 per-
feet 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 85 cents
per thousand.
Acetylene is the modern artificial
light, the latest addition to the many
inventions that have become daily ne
cessitieS.
The light from an acetylene fame is
soft, steady and brilliant, and in quail
ity is only rivalsd by the SUMS rays.
If water and a solid material known az
Calcium Carbide are brought into n
tact, the immediate result is the max
ing of this wonderful gas. The genera
ton Of acetylene Is SO simple that *
p~erience or venapparatus is not neces-
sary to make it. If it is desired to
make it for practical lighting, and to
keep it for immediate use, then a small
machine called an "Acetylene Genera
tor is employed. There are many re-
sponsible concerns making a%cetylene
generators. In practice this gas is dis
tributed in small pipes throughout
buildings. grounds or entire cities and
towns in the same manner a. ordinary
city gas. Acetylene is the only salts
factory means Of lighting isolated
buildings located in the country Or
suburbs at a distance from city gas or
electric plants.

FEED YOUNG GIRLS.
Have Right Food While Growing

Great care should be taken at the
just merging into womanhood that the
diet shall contain all that is upbuilding,
and nothing harmful. ~
At that age the structure is being
formed and if formed of a healthy,
sturdy character, health and happiness
will follow; on the. other hand un-
healthy cells may be built in and a sick
condition slowly supervene which, if
not checked, may ripen into a chronic
disease and aus lifelong suffering.
A young lady says:
Coffee began to have such an effect
on my stomach a few years ago, that I
was compelled to quit using it. It
brought on headaches, pains in my
muscles, and
Il tried to use tea in it's stead, but
found its effects ever worse than those
l suffered from coffee. Then for a long
time l 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
I try Postum Coffee.
Il did SO, only TO find ct first. that I
didn't fancy it. But I had heard Of 50
many persons who had been benefited
by its use that I p~ersevered, and when
I had it brewed right found It grateful
in flavor and soothing and strengthen
ing to my stomach. I 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 symp-
toms yielded to the magic power of
Postum. My brain seems also to share
In the betterment of my physical con-
dition; it seems keener, more alert and
brighter. I am, in short, in better

CHOICE OF LINEN.

Hemstitcing for table linen, etc., is
but of fashion. No wonder. Table
cloths, napkins, towels, had a way OF
breaking at the hem which put a
auietus on their usefulness before they
were worn out. Half-inch hens, done
by hand, are "the things" says the
Brooklyn Times.
Starched table linen may justly be
termed an abomination. A much bet
fer way is to iron tablecloths and nap
kins while quite damp with hot irons
until perfectly dry. Unless entirely
dry, it will not be at all stiff, will not
show the pattern satisfactorily and
will muSS easily. 49,.
