some FACTS ABOUT
=. MAIL HAULING CRAFT.
Scale for Carrying Mail on Train
Agreed to Thirty Years Ago .
Still in Effect.
Government Pays Enough for Car
rying Mail to Run Every
Passenger. Train.

The distance from Washington, ..
c., to, New Orleans, by rail, is 1916
miles; the time of mail trains Is. 40
hours. The scale for carrying the.
mail on trains, arranged by collision
thirty years ago, and which they are
still drawing, gave them last year
$947,910.92 for this haul This did
not satisfy the greed Of the railroad
barons, so they had their servile con-
gress give them a bonus of $142,175
more, making a total of $1,090,095.92
or the enormous sum of $2,986.50
per day! This is not all; they drew
an additional sum Of $222,97O.50 for
the use of the mail cars, a sum suf-
f1cient to build the cars twice every
year! This makes the sum daily of
$3,597.11 for handling the mail on
this one line! To illustrate what this
robbery means, I take the report Of
the earnings of the Queen and ~Cres-
I. cetn route from Cincinnati to New
Orleans, a distance of 1856 miles, and
the total receipts from all sources for
1904 were as follows:
Total earnings Sc, sol ,993
Operating expenses ........ 5,171,322
Net earnings ............. 81, ,671
Here Is a road little longer, and
| it drew the regulation price for haul
| ing mails, and with all that and all
It's passenger and freight receipts, it
took In only Ave times as much as we
paid to this Washington New Orleans
road for mail alone! In other words,
,e government pays enough in its
mail contracts with the roads to run
every passenger train In the nation.
The people could build road from
Washin gton to New Orleans ana car
~ nothing but mail, and could do 1t
for far less than the roads now get
for the same service in connection
with all their other traffic. I cannot
| conceive how a congressman can vote
to rob the people who elect him, I'M
less he is br1bed, else is fool who
doesn't know any better. It is alb
surd that the public should pay
enough for hauling the mails to build
| and equip a railroad and pay the in
terest on the whole sum. The rail-
| roads get easily twenty times as much
as they should get for hauling the
| mails. But because the many who
'uso w Hot hHo" these tnln&S, and
the men they vote for know they know
them not. and know that they will not
believe men out Of their parties who
might tell them, they feel safe In
serving the railroads for the. passes
they carry or the cash they receive
on the side-for it is absurd to believe
that men would serve, the roads in
that way unless they get paid for 1t
or own an interest in them--and by
their votes. help to rob- the people to
! put 1t in their own companies. 49,, =.

Beyond Speech.

The conversation of pigs is not
usually considered matter of seri-
Gus import, yet by it Uncle David
gagged the physical condition of his
porkers. Uncle David was native
Of old Saco, Me. Some of his pecu-
liarities are recorded by Mr.. Red
lon in his book on the town.
The old man raised pigs for the
market. At one time scourge
devastated his sites. During this
affection neighbor, meeting him
and seeing his doleful countenance,
inquired sympathetically for his
stock.
"Well, Uncle David" he said
cheerily, show is the litter getting
on?"
Getting on!" replied Uncle Da

A Kipiina Correction.

= Rudyard Kipling diAed on one oc-
casion with party that included
several other well known writers-a
fair proportion of men and women
who knew something about litera-
ture and large number who knew
little and made up for their lack of
knowledge with pretense. Several
of the last described kind started a
useless discussion concerning spell
ings, pronunciations, ETC., and one,
firing his remark straight at Kip
ling, said, 81 find that sugar and
'sumac' are the only words begin
ming with 'su' that are pronounced
as though beginning with 'sh.'"
Bored though he was, Kipling's
politeness did not desert him, and,
assuming an expression of interest,
although his eyes twinkled behind
his glasses, he asked, care you
sure"-Chums.

tall and straight and had long black
hair, which he wore well down over

dian. 1t was even rumored that he
had some aboriginal blood in his
veins. Maynard prided himself on
his scholarly attainments, and at
the close of his address he quoted
one or two Latin verses. Old Thad
replied to Maynard's argument in
his usual vigorous manner and then
paused for a few seconds until he
had secured the attention of the en-
tire house. Turning to Maynard,
who sat some distance behind him,
he delivered this parting shot: $50
much for the gentleman's English.

Mr.. Stockton's Chickens.

When Frank Stockton started out
with his Rudder Grange experiences
he undertook to keep chickens.
One old motherly Plymouth Rock
brought out a brood late in the fall,
and Stockton gave her good deal
of his attention. He named each Of
the chicks after some literary friend,
among the rest Mary Mapes Dodge.
Mrs. Dodge was visiting the farm
some time later, and, happening to
think of her namesake, she said:
"By the way, Frank, how does lit
tie Mary Mapes Dodge get along"
"The funny thing about little
Mary Mapes Dodge" said be, "is
that she turns out to be Thomas Bal
ley Aldrich. "-Everybody's.

Stones In Queer Places.

A round stone is found in the
joints of certain kinds of bamboo.
This is called 'tabasheer" and is
supposed TO be deposited from the
sihceous juices Of the cane. Anoth-
er curiosity of this sort is the eco
coanut stone," found in the en-
dosperm of the cocoanut in Java
and other East Indian islands. It is
a pure car Donate of lime, and the
form of the stone is sometimes
round, sometimes pear shaped,
while the appearance is that Of a
white pearl without much lUster.
Some Of thcsc stones are as large
as cherries and as hard as feldspar
or opal. They are very rarely found
and are regarded as precious stones
by the orientals and as charms
against disease or evil spirits by the
natives. Stones Of this kind are
also found in the pomegranate and
IN other East Indian fruits. Apa-
lite has also been discovered in teak
wood.

shelley and Butter Cakes.

Shelley called on Southey one
afternoon and found the latter and
his wife at tea. Southey evinced
such an appetite for buttered cakes
that Shelley was shocked and at
last broke out with: "Southey, I'm
ashamed of you! It's horrible to
see man like you greedily deyour-
ing this nasty stuff Mrs. Southey
came to her husbands defense with
a long TRADE, during which Shelley,
abashed, put down his face and Gu
rlously scanned the cakes. He broke
on a bit and ventured to taste it.
Then he began to eat as greedily as
ISouthey himself. When he went
home his verdict on the cakes was
summed up in the report of Harriet

gagged; eve were to have hot tea

me Great Problem Of remerro~.

'~~'~sp W = SsssVFfVWs
i scientist tells of the energy the
earth receives from the sun: "When
the sun is nearly overhead he de-
hvers power at the surface of the
earth at the rate of more than two
horsepower for each square ward of
surface. Even after deducting the
loss occasioned by the absorption of
the earth's atmosphere, it is still
true that each square yard receives
when the sun is shining the equiva-
lent of one horsepower working con-
hnuously.' This means there is de-
hvered on each square yard an en-
ergy able to lift a weight of $4,000
pounds one foot in one minute, and
this power is continuous. On the
broad, sunlit plains of Arizona the
sun delivers an equivalent of me-
chanical energy which, expressed in
horsepower, would seem almost in
finite. A small part of it would
suffice for the whole worlds work.
Why is it not set to doing this work ?
This is the problem of tomorrow.

TWELVE PAGES,
A GLIMPSE OF SPAIN.
The Manner Of Wedding Dance In
the Provinces.

The wedding dance was being
held in long, narrow building near
a fountain, and we entered on
smooth earth floor. Seats were ar
ranged about the sides of the white
washed room, and the low rafters
were draped and festooned with fan
cy wall paper with gold scrolls in it.
The music was furnished by piano
organ at one end of the long room,
turned in rotation by number of
small boys in their clean blue
blouses and brown corduroy
breeches, who felt their Importance,
and at the other end of the room
a table was spread with cakes and
bread and a wine connection very
sweet and pleasant, but seductive.
Ihe women, some bringing their
babies, were pleasant set, but not
beautiful, although few, with
their large dark eyes, came very
near to it. They did not wear the
gay costumes of my imagination,
but their dresses showed great care
and conscientious patching. A CAV
handkerchief was often folded
around the neck and across the
breast, and large earrings and BIC
breastpins were The vogue even
among the young women. The men
wore broad brimmed black felt hats
and clean blue blouses, corduroy
trousers, either light tan or brown,
and the long red or black sash belt
called a "faja" wound many times
about the waist, the folds serving
as pockets for cigarettes, tobacco
pouch and the viflaincus knife that
every one carries.
The dances were round" inter-
spersed with a square dance, where
four people comprised a set-a sort
OF fandango, with lots of stamping
and attempts at 1.-the, serpentine
motions, with the hands raised
above the head. There was a very
old man who danced with great
gusto and amused the crowd of
young people, who encouraged him
with clapping of hands. = Edward
Penteld in Scribner's.
