MILKMAN WAS REsoURcEFUL
Puts Up Pretty Fine Story to Mol
lily Eault-Finding Wom-
an Customer,

you'll fnd," said the proprietor of a
dairy to a new milkman who was TAX
ing over the walk, that the lady at
73 is inclined to find fault. You must
soothe her down and not be rude to her;
she is a pretty god customer"
Leave that to me, sir" answered the
milkman.
''The eggs you left here yesterday were
stale" grumbled the lady at No. 73, on
the milkman's second visit
Them heggs was laid 'alf an hour
afore you 'ad 'em by special quick-layin'
birds imported from the Moolywompoo
islands, ma'am, and they come down
to this very 'ouse by Marconieraph so
as ye should get 'em fresh. A bit or
twangy flavor they may ave, madam,
but you can lay odds they worn't stale"
The fault-fnding lady gasped, re-
lates London Tit-Bits.
''The milk didn't seem so good as
usual yesterday, either" she yentured.
''The guv'nor will be cut hup when
he ears that, maam," continued the
milkman. "'E sent down to Halder-
ney a-purpus for a COW what'u eat moth
ing but peaches and pineapples. Never
mind the hexpense,' he says. This ere
COW we keeps a-purpus for the lady at
73, and mind it sleeps on a feather-bed

wrong with the butter ma'a4n?"
But the lady shook her head; she had
been effectually appeased.

MEDALS CHEAP JUST NOW
Embls1ns and Decorations Thrown
Upon English Market at
Low Prices.

Among the hundred and one articles
which tempt those industrious workers
who make it the business of their lives
to collect things, medals have long been
numbered; and after every war num-
Der of these decorations are thrown
upon the market, says Chambers
Journal.
Just now medals are unusually cheap
owing to the death of great collector.
and it may be of interest to note the
prices which some of them have reached.
A South African medal with six bars
can now be bought for $3.50, as against
$25 which it fetched when first issued
The highest price ever recorded for a
private soldiers peninsulaf medal, one
with 13 bars, was $3.50. An old Indian
war medal awarded to an officer has
fetched as much as $500
Then there are unique medals which
naturally command fancy prices. For
example, the bugle and four medals of
Jay, who sounded the famous charge at
Balaklava, were sold for nearly $4,000.
The present value in the medal market
of Victoria cross Is between $500 and
$3.50. ..szszssrRsss.suazss

EiE Sunday.

Palm Sunday is known in England
as Fig Sunday because in many dis
tricts figs are freely eaten on that day.
The custom is common in the villages
of Bedford, Bucks, Hertford and
Northampton and is found in some
parts of north Wales. As Palm Sunday
approaches the shop windows of Dun
stable are filed with figs in readiness
for the crowds who go to the top of
Dunstable downs to regale themselves
on that day. At Kempton, in Hertford-
shire, to keep warseP' is to feast on
figs or fig puddings with your friends
on Palm Sunday. Fig Sunday is proba-
bly, connected with the story of the
barren fig tree, which forms part Of
one of the lessons for the day.-Londcn

Each Railroad Has Differing Con.
dltiOns.

United States Senator Morgan of
Alabama thus discusses q great
question: Railroads are in the ex-
elusive ownership of corporations
composed of stockholders. 1hey get
all their powers, including the right
OF condemnation of private lands for
their purposes, from State OF
Territorial legislatures, and are sub
Ject to any control, or any taxation,
or any rates of charges, or any re-
strlction of profits, or any duties or
penalties that may be prescribed in
their charters.
The rivers and highways belong to
the people, and cannot become the
private property of anybody Or be
used for any exclusive privilege.
"Phe capacity to own a railroad
for public uses is created by act of
some Legislature and such uses are a
part of the act and create correIative
rights in favor of the people that are
subject to definition by the power of
the government that creates the
corporation.
eff the provisions of the charter
do not fix the rates of charges for
transportation as part of the charter
rights or duties, the common law re-
quires them to be reasonable; and no
legislative body or court can lawfully
confer upon such corporation the
power to charge rates that are un
reasonably high, or compel them to
accept property for transportation at
rates that are unreasonabIy low.
''The exclusive ownership by rail
road companies of routes of trans
portation brings into the consider.
alton of the question of reasonable
rates an element that had no part in
the rights or duties of carriers or in
commerce among the States, and
that question is differentiated in its
solution as to every railroad in exist
ence, and as to every State and com
munity in which such railroad is
operated, by the fact that establish
or else disprove the reasonaDIeness of
the rates in that situation. -

THE TYRANNY OF FASHION
Stiff Hats, Stiff Collars and Stiff Cor
sets Cause Much Discom-
fort to Humans.

1t Is strange fact that, independ-
ent as. Americans profess to be, and
on the whole are, they cannot rise
Sbove certain arbitrary fashions that
are ugly, inconvenient and positively
injurious to health. 1t would seem the
easiest thing Imaginable to substitute
something sane and pleasing in an ar
t1cle of dress for one that is uncom-
Portable to wear and well-nigh hideous
to be seen, but even the one who fol-
lows fashion only afar off will have
to admit that no small part of his
mode of dressing is due to fashion and
not to comfort or utility, says the cIi-
cago Chronicle.
1t is not women alone who are sub
| ject to this tyranny. Men who are
rational on other points, who believe
in comfort and exercise a great deal
OF common sense in regard to it, will
still obey custom-under protest, to be
sure. but none the less they obey
The most unconventional will wear
stiff hats, knowing that they are sune
to induce badness. They will wear
stir, high collars and suffer great in
convenience rather than adopt a pic
turesQue tie that is at once easy and
becoming. They will wear cuffs that
are fetters, and, though they pull them
OF the first moment they are alone,
conformity to popular usage leads
them to put them on in the presence
of others in spite of discomfort.
Women follow more changes of
fashion than men do and are willing
to suffer even more torture, for wom-
more fond of convention than men
are, yet they are not whit more IRA
tional, although they are usually cred
tied with more unreasonableness in
respect to fashion
The laws of fashion are often as
mysterious as they are imperative.
Occasionally the origin of a certain
mode of dress can be traced to some
defect or caprice in a queen or en-
peror-the people willingly aiding in
hiding a weakness-or from love to
the sovereign they may adopt some
strange fancies, but even an emperor
would not control fashion by an edict,
for he knows that, like language, it
has a way of its own and no one can
predict what direction it will take.
The popularity Of King Edward has
tended to bring about certain desirable
reforms in mems dress The demo-
cratic character of the man as prince
and as king led him to consult COM
fc$5 and convenience in the matter
of dress, although he never defied con-
ventional FORMS He is by universal
consent admitted to be the best dressed
man in his dominions So because he
follows as well as leads in fashion he
has been able to introduce changes
that have been decided improvement
by way of comfort.
Probably the time is remote, if it
ever shall come, when men and women
will dress as they please individually.
Originality in dress is too daring. 1t
invites too much attention and crit
icism for anyone to indulge in it to a
great extent Arbitrary as fashion is
and uncomfortable as her dictates are,
it Is found to be far easier to obey
than to resist. Who defes fashion
does 1t at his peril. He is ostracised
socially and must bear the penalty
All the same, it is strange that it is so.

A Tai1or,s proc1amation,

The art of advertising has reached q
high pitch of excellence in these days,
but old newspapers and circulars fur
nish some fetching examples which it
would be difficult to improve upon.
Fifty years ago Maidstone (EnglanG)
tailor made this alluring appeal to tie
public:
''Neoteric cutting. Coats, trousers
and vests, in alamodal style and ma
terial, are scientifically constructed
and symmetrically adjusted to the an
thropological f1exibilities, for a thau-
maturgically minute, prompt, none
tary gesticulation." Then follows the
address, where your commands viii
be executed with Pathological exactt-
tude and melliloquent courtesy"

A FAMOUS STAR GROUP.
The Constellation Orion In Legend
and Literature.

The Constellation Orion In Legend
and Literature.
The constellation Orion is mentioned
in the literature of all ages. In Egypi
it represented Horus, the young or ris-
ing sun, in boat surmounted by stars,
closely followed by Sirius, which was
shown as a COW. 1t has also been
found sculptured on the walls of
Thebes 5000 years ago. And on the
men of that early time it shone down
from the same position and with tie
same brightness as it does on us today,
q striking example of the unchange-
ableneSs of the heavens.
From the days of the early Hindocs
to the present the constellation has fol.
some reason borne always a stormy
character. Allusions to it's direful infiu-
ence are found everywhere among tie
classic writer's. Thus Milton wrote:
When with fierce winds Orion arrived
Hath vexed the Red sea coast
The loss of the Roman squadron in
the first Punic war was ascribed to the
fleets having sailed just after the ris-
ing of OrioS- The group has also been
employed as a calendar sign, its morn
ing rising indicating the beginning Of
summer, its midnight rising the season
Of grape gathering and its early even
ing rising the arrival Of syinter, With
its attendant storms IN recent times
the group has always represented q
great hunter or warrior. Its present
title came into Greek astronomy from
the Euphrates and originally signifeG
the light Of heaven.

routes. The Copper river, which
empties into the head of Prince
Williams Sound was for time con-
sidered the most feasible route, and
the rich copper deposits along the
line were also an inducement. But
glaciers and avalanches added to the
ruggedness of the mountains made
the task too gigantic to tempt capital
lists to invest and the many schemes
for railroad from Valdez to the
Yukon river we're beyond the hands
of the promoters.
Two of the most persistent and
enthusiastic of Alaska pioneers we're
the Ballaine brothers, typical speci-
mems OF western grit and energy. For
two years they studied the problem
of piercing the mountain walls that
guards the coast of Alaska and max
ing the interior open to travel and
tratc the entire year. They finally
decided that Resurrection Bay, on
the eastern coast of Kenai Peninsula
was the best start ing point, because
1t had the finest harbor and townsite
in the whole region. Preliminary
work was begun in 1903, and in 1904 a
few miles of track was laid. Early
in 1905 they succeeded N interest
ing capitalists, who controlled funds
sufficient for such vast undertaking,
and the work has since gone forward
as fast as money, brains and muscles
could push it. Now, January 9Th,
there are 46 miles of track laid. The
next 80 miles are the hardest to build
of the whole line. Work on tunnels
and rock cuts will be rushed the
whole winter. About 100 men are
employed at present. In spring they
wish TO employ 10000 men. Ordin-
ary laborers are paid s2.75 per day,
seven days IN the week, deducting
six dollars a week for board. There
will be no business for the road until
it reaches the Matamisky coal fields,
12o miles from here, the finest and
most extensive deposits known on
the Pacific coast. Beyond lies the
Susitna Valley with more than 1000,
900 acres of rich agricultural land.
Leaving this the road crosses the low
divide of the Alaskan Range, and
enters the Tanana valley, which pro-
duced more than $4,000, 600 in gold
last year, and is expected to rival the
Klondike in year or two more.
The Rampant district is just beyond
the Tanana, on the direct route to
the Kogukuk and Nome regions. AT
present the road is surveyed only to
the Tanana, 410 miles, and further
developments will influence the ex-
tension of the main line and its
branches.

The brightness of the corona, or
ring of light encircIing the sun, was
measured by M. Chas. Fabry during
the recent total eclipse. He found
the light of a point twentieth of a
degree from the suns edge to be
equivalent to about 720 candle power,
or little more than fourth of the
brightness of the full moon. The
sky near the uneclipsed sun is 1000
times as bright.
