Extravaganza for the Dead.

Burial customs were once modest
with our people. But complicated and
costly living appears to have made
simple dying impossible, remarks the
New York Mail. We run to weak os-
tentation in the surroundings and
trappings of mortality. 1t is necessary
to obtain this, to purchase that; it is
the only good form, nothing else will
do. 1t is the consideration of the liv-
pie respect due the dead. We forget
that the costlier the earthly memorial
We erect the shallower may be the rec
ord that we cut Upon the tablets of
our hearts.

Reform in College Athletics.

The aim of the reformers in school
and college athletics should be clearly
and directly the betterment of condi-
tons, not the extirpation of the love
of combat which is inherent in the ma
ture of mankind. The notion that
hard general work, resulting in full
muscular development, saps vitality,
weakens the organs and is a wearying
incubus to the individual is so illogi-
cal as hardly to deserve an answer, re-
marks the Boston Post. But some per-
som believe this. Such should pity
the wild animals that, guided only by
ar instructive physiological need, run,
jump, pursue and wrestle with one an
other, thereby using and developing
fully their whole bodies.

So far he has taken no action, how
ever. Although there is ground for
the belief that eventually he will do

internal affairs of another country is
fraught with such difficulty hat the
United States must nov with the ut
most caution and delicacy in making
any advances whatever toward the
Russian government in the direction
of an appeal on behalf of the Jews in
that empire.

Watch Speaks Time.

A SWISS matchmaker has invented a
watch which speaks the time from a
tiny photograph. A very small hard
rubber plate has the vibrations of the
human voice imprinted on it, and is
actuated by clockwork, so that at a
given time the articulation IS made,
indicating the nour. The utterance
is sufficiently strong to be heard 20
feet away. 1t is possible by mea of
a device of this kind to combine senti.
ment with utility, as the vibrations
car be made by any clear voice, and
a mans watch may tell him the time
in the tones of wife or children.

Scarcity Of Freight Cars.

During 1906" writes George r. Met
calf, NJ. E., in the March Technical
World Magazine, 1.-The railroads of the
United States ordered new locomotives
to the number of $500. together with
$500 passenger cars and 100000 freight
cars. These last figures give a gooC
idea of the relative Importance of pas
senger and freigh traffic to a large rail
road. The rail mills started the new
year with orders for 2,500,000 tons or
their books. In spite Of these
great orders and in spite of the
best efforts of the railroad man
ayers, pile after pile Of thousands
of bushels Of corn has been heaped uI
on the ground in Iowa, Kansas anG
Nebraska for want of storage room OF
transportation facilities; while In
North Dakota alone, over a million
bushels of wheat has rotted on the
ground for want of freight cars tc
move it."

yesterday took a position In accord
with the president and the house of
