Wasfe of G0nd Money.

The fuss started in a most unusual
and unprecedented way, way that
really am reluctant to set down, it was
so contrary to all that is natural and
ordinary in domestic life. Mrs. Red
dington had asked for some money for
household purposes, and Reddington
had grumbled.
Hence the row.. Charges Of extrava-
gance were met by counter-charges Of
stinginess; charges of foolish wasteful-
ness were replied to with charges Of
meanness; and so it grew warm and
torrid and Illuminating. And it ended,
as all such discussions do, by Redding-
toms throwing a ten-dollar bill. violent
~ into his wife's lap.
''There, that leaves me only paltry
quarter in my pocketw he exclaimed
tragically. "But it's enough. 1t will
buy enough arsenic to put an end to
my miserable life.v'
That's just like your wicked selfish
ness" retorted Mrs. Reddington indig-
nantly, at the same time gathering in
the ten-spot. "You talk about my
wastefulness, and then you waste a lot
of money on yourself without the least
necessity for it,"
Reddington glowered more gloomily.
"Now," continued Mrs. Reddington,
placidly, ''why can't you give me that
quarter, and go out and sit on the ele-
yated's third rail ?"-Sunday Magazine.

The Foot in Measurement.

Professor Edward B. Rosa, in re-
cent address on scientific standards Of
measurement, collected interesting
facts about the foot, the most widely
used measure of length in both ancient
and modern times. 1t is derived from
the length Of the human foot, but ap-
parently has varied more than that
portion of the skeleton can possibly
have done in historic times.
The ancient Welsh foot, for instance,
was nine inches long, whereas thePied-
mont was twenty inches. In modern
times it has varied from the Spanish
foot, Of less than eleven inches, to the
Venice foot, of more than thirteen
inches. Almost every country has used
foot measure Of different length. It
was this confusion which led the
French to devise the metric SYSTEM

FEED YOUNG GIRLS.
Must Have Right Food While Growing

Great care should be taken at the
critical period when the young girl is
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 IN
healthy cells may be built in and a sick
condition slowly supervene which, If
not checked, may ripen into chronic
disease and cause lifelong suffering.

Railway Rate Legislation.


At the biennial convention Of the
Order of Railway Conductors, recentL
held at Portland, Oregon, resolutions.
were unanimously adopted voicins
their sentiments as to the effect Of pro-
posed railway rate legislation on The
1900, railroad employees, whom the,
in part represented. These resolutions
Endorse the attitude oe President
Roosevelt in condemning secret rebates
and other illegalities, and commend the
attitude of the heads of American rail-
ways, who, with practical unanimity,
have Joined with the President on this
question" They then respectfully
point out to Congress the "inadvisa bill
ity Of legislation vesting in the hands
of commission power over railway
rates. now lower by far in the United
States than in any other country" By
cause such regulation wonid result in
litigation and confusion and ineyita bly,
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. y
They further protested against such
power being given to the present Inter
state Commission because "the pro-
posed legislation is not in harmon.
with our idea of American juris-
prudence, inasmuch as 1t contemplates
that 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 inequitabie."
The conductors base their demand
for only such legislation, if any, as
would secure and insure justice and
equity and preserve equal rights to all
parties concerned" on the ground that
the low cost of transportation lis the
result of the efficiency of American
railway management and operation
through constant improvement and de.
velopment of territory, while at the
same time recognition has been given
to the value of intelligence among en-
ployes in contrast to foreign methods
where high freight rates aud lowest
wages to employees obtain

lation adverse to their interests, they
