Fixing Railroad Rates.

Making railroad rates is like playing
q game of checkers or chess. Com
munities to be benefited, producers.
manufacturers or shippers to be aided
represent the pieces used. Every posi-
BILE move is studied for ITS effect on the
general result by skilled traffic mana
gers. A false move in the making OF
freight rates may mean the ruin of a
city, of a great manufacturing interest.
of an agricultural community. Rail
roads strive to build up all these so
that each may have an equal chance i'll
the sharp competition of business. So
sensitive to this rivalry are the rail-
roads that in order TO build Up business
along their lines they frequently allow
the shipper to practically dictate rates.
Rate making has been a matter OF de-
yelopment; of mutual concessions FOR
mutual benefit. That IS why the rail-
roads of the United States have volun-
tarily made freight rates so much lower
in this country than they are on the
goyernment-owned and operated rail-
ways of Europe and Australia that
they are now the lowest transportation
rates in the world.

HOW TO r E

A charming way of serving ices at
a child's party is to line common
flower pos, two inches and a half in
diameter at the top, with parafn pa
per, afterward filling nearly full with
ice cream. Sprinkle with grated
sweet chocolate to represent earth,
and stick a flower in the top.
Another pretty way is to make a
basket with four ladyfnSers, cat
square at the ends, and fastened in
visibly with little wooden toothpicAs.
Tie a ribbon around the basket to
hold it firmly, and a fow,r on the
plate, and be sure that the ribbon and
the flower harmonize in color. At
this season yellow ribbons and vel
low tulips, or green ribbons and white
narcissus, are especially pretty. A
little later apple blossoms and PINK
ribbons will be delightful.
And there are many other attrac-
tive ways of sewing, proper taste sug-
costing much along this line.

he would painfully duck his head from

In one person, however, should n
beware of becoming unduly interest
ed; namely, ones self, says the Chris
tan Register. The moment one dis
covers that he is dwelling much upon
self, especially il he falls to plying
himself, he is in danger, and must
rouse himself to resist. Self-pity is
a corroding, weakening feeling. To
every one come sometimes downcast
moments when it seems little worth
while to go on living, when the game
seems hardly worth the candle. This
mood is always the signal for resolute
exertion. In Life lately appeared this
pithy a%necdote. The pessimist says:
what is the use of struggling? We
are all destinod to meet our Waterloo
some day." The optimist replies,
when l meet my Waterloo, my name
is going to be wellington" That is
the right spirit. No matter what has
happened, we are not to lay down our
arms, but to go on with the fight as
bravely and cheerfully as may be. \
