FIXING RAILROAD RATES.

Making railroad rates is like play
ing 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 it's effect
on the general result by skilled traf-
1c managers. A false move in the
making Of freight rates may mean the
ruin of city, of a great manufacture
ing interest, Of an agricultural COM
munity Railroads strive to build up
all 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 a 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
aforementioned and operated rail-
ways Of Europe and Australia that
they are now the lowest transporta-
ton rates in the world.

Rebuilding the Campanile.

Slowly but surely the work sof re-
storing the campanile of st. Mark S
at Venice is proceeding. A high wood
en- palng hides the scene Of opera
tons from outsiders and forms a
workyard In this space eighty work
men are employed either in preparing
the stone or hewing the timber or car
rying the cement which is needed for
the foundations. A huge, square ped
estal in the middle is all that is left
of the original site and of the old
campanile and is to serve again for
it's successor The groundwork OF this
pedestal is the part on which the
hands are now engaged and in the
strengthening and consolidating OF
this under-pedestal lay the great diff

struction. For it was long before any

Wild Duck Domesticated.

Andrew G. Paist of Mechanicsville,
Bucks county, has a beautiful wild
duck among his flock Of Pekin ducks.
It alighted last November in state
Of bewilderment and exhaustion and
was easily captured. Its wings were
clipped so that it could not fly, and it
soon became domesticated among the
tame ducks. the most serious trouble,
that of getting used to corn diet, be-
ing overcome by degrees.
During March it laid twenty light
eggs, twenty-three of which have fur
nished sittings for two tame ducks,
and Mr.. Paist Is eagerly waiting for
the Matching process to see what the
half wild, half domestic ducklings will
be like.-Briston Observer.

liable wonder gown-a present with
the choosing of which she had naught
to do-she has found double pleasure
in it. 1t has satisfied her exacting
fancy to the full, and has caused stir
in base London. It was sent to her
by an Indian rajah and is composed of
$4,000 wing cases of Indian beetles.
They are sewn upon silken robe and
lend a shimmering irridescence to the
flowing folds of the garment. No Won

it's coloring and texture is almost as
elusive as the fabric that dreams are
made of. Nearly every woman that
has behe.d the marvel has broken the
commandment against righteousness,
and though many have tried to dupli-
safe it, their efforts have been in vain.
Both because of the rarity of the wings
and of the difficulty of affixing them,
such a gown can only be fashioned by
years of work.
