Willie and the Impecunious Boss.

Willie was a sweet boy, with &
cherubic face, and he was temporarily
in the employ OF hustling but i'm
pecunious attorney who was busy
lodging collectors. One morning the
Jmpecunious Attorney chided Willie
urgently. A short time afterward the
form of an Insistent Collector with a
bill for SAC appeared, and the Impe.
cunious Attorney hastily clambered
into the microscopic closet which
contained the washstand, clambered
on top of the wash bowl, and pulled
the door shut, motioning frantically to
Willie to tell the ubiquitous collector
that he was out
81 want to see Blank!" snarled the
collector.
Hes out, SIR" said Willie, smiling
sweetly, but | expect him in in q
short time. Won't you please take 9
chair and waltz"
Thanks. Yes, I'll watt
Hes just been gone a minute and
| expect him back in a few minutes
Won't you look over the paper while
you're waiting"
The collector accepted both the chair
and the paper and reposed himself to
wait comfortably. And Willie resigned
hurriedly without waiting to tell any
one about 1t and never returned fol
nis money.

The Best OF LIE.

Not till life's heat is cooled.
The headlong rush slowed to a quiet
pace,
And every purblind passion that has
Our noisier years. at last
Spurs us In vain, and. weary OF the
race,
We care no more who loses or who wins
All. not till all the best of life seems
past
The best of life begins.
To tell for only fame.
Handicappings and the tickle gusts of
praise,
For place or power or gold to gild a
name
Above the grave whereto
All paths will bring us, were to lose our
days;
We, on whose cars youths passing bell
has tolled
In blowing bubbles. even as children do.
Forgetting we grow old.
But the world widens when
Such hope of trivial gain that ruled us
lies
Broken among our childhood's toys, for
then
We win to self-control!
And mail ourselves in manhood. and
there rise
height
Those cleaner thoughts that are unto
the soul
What stars are to the night.

Locomotives as Fos-Mskers.

An engineer asserts that the Lon.
don fogs are caused largely by the
discharge of steam into the air from
the 800 or more locomotives operating
in London area. One steam plant OF
1000 horse power. the engineer fig.
ures, will discharge into the air TWEEN.
ty tons of steam per hour, or sufficient
to produce fog twenty feet thick and
one mile square; and what plants with
a capacity Of 650,O00 horse power can
do in the way of fog production may
therefore, be easily estimated. The
proposed remedy is to convert this
waste steam into electric power

RAILROAD RATE LEGISLATION.

Testifying before the Senate Com
mittee at Washington, Interstate
Commerce Commissioner Prouty said
In discussing the proposition to give
TO that Commission the power to regu-
late railway rates:
Il think the railways should make
their own rates. | think they should
be allowed to develop their own busi-
ness. | have never advocated any
law. and | am not now in favor Of
any law. which would put the rate
making power into the hands of any
commission or any court While II
may be necessary to do that some
time, while that is done in some
states at the present time, while II is
done in some countries, | am opposed
to II. The railway rate is
property. 1t is all the property that
the railway has got. The rest of its
property is not good for anything un-
less 1t can charge a rate. Now it has
always seemed to me that when a
rate was fixed, il that rate was an un.
reasonable rate. 1t deprives the rail.
road company of its property pro
tanto. II is not necessary that you
should confiscate the property of a
railroad; il is not necessary that you
should say that 1t shall not earn three
per cent or four per cent. When
you put in a rate that is Inherently
unreasonable, you have deprived that
company Of its rights, OF its property,
and the Circuit Court of the United
States has jurisdiction under the four
teenth amendment to restrain that.

q great many times, and | can only
come to the conclusion that a rail.

The Leavening Power Always Re-
mains the Same.

You cannot experiment every time
you make a cake or biscuits, or test
the strength of your baking powder to
find out how much of il you should
use; yet with most baking powders
you should do this, for they are put
together so carelessly they are never
uniform, the quality and strength
varying with each can purchased.
Therefore, at one time baking pow
der will produce less leavening gas
than at another.
II you base your calculations on the
strength and results of a previous can,
you may use too much or not enough
of the new; your cake or biscuits will
not raise; they will remain heavy and
your materials in time will be lost; T;
or else you will have a harshly acid
or strongly alkaline cake or biscuits.
Avoid the cheap and big Can" bak-
ing powders. Cheap baking powders

Sealed in air tight cans, Calumet Bak-
Ing Powder does not alter in strength

changes. Yet II is only one-half the

HUNT FOXES WITH EAGLES.
Strange Sport That Is Enjoyed by Ma
tiNes Of Siberia

A Siberian correspondent of Lon
don Sphere sends some photographs
relating to form OF fox hunting
which is probably unique. The hunt
ing OF foxes with eagles takes place
among the Kirghese. in the southwest
district of Siberia known as the gen.
eral government of the steppes. 1t is
a favorite sport with the Kirghese and
takes place in the autumn and early
winter when the foxes coats are rud-
'dy and perfect, though hunting is not
always confined TO this period. The
eagles selected for the purpose are
powerful birds of such weight that a
small wooden support is carried by
the eagle bearer. A well grown bird
of more than usually ierce tempera-
ment will occasionally kill wolf. Di-
rcctly any game is seen the birds
make their flight and swoop down
with great precision. "One of these
birds has, to my knowledge" writes
