Indexing Your Scrap Books.

From the New York Sun
When l started keeping a scrap book. "

"a wise friend OF mine advised rae 10 index

He told me that when ] pasted ID the
stuff in the book Il would take only =, min
ute or two more to make the proper en-
tries at the back. and that ! would find

convenience.
Il knew that this was wise advice, but

Now I have a pile OF scrap books all
unindexed. and when 1 want to fina any

The Polo Brothers.
From the National Geographic Magazine.


Probably the greatest failure to utilize
geographical exploration of an epoch
making character is that associated with
the journeys OF the Polo brothers Not
only did material interests suffer from
closing for five centuries and more COM
mercial traffic across densely populated
Asia from the Mediterranean to the China
sea. but It's high moral possibilities were
absolutely neglected The three Venetians,
through years of service. attained great
power and influence at the court of Kubiai
Khan, the great Emperor of China. In
spfred with O desire to displace Confuci-
anisru. Kublaf Khan commissioned on
their departure. the Polos as messengers
to ask the pope to send missionaries to
mis- people. Ecclesiastical quarrels then
engrossed all Christendom, the grand
lama interviewed with Buddhism. and later
Islamitic proeelytism closed China to west
err influencs for centuries. II bewilders
one to imagine the potent changes which
nix centuries Of Christianity a. n state re-
u4ssn might have wrought In the Chinese
omairo.

RAILWAY COMPANIES
DOWNWARD TENDENCY OF REV
ENUE OF THOSE IN IRELAND.

Special Ca5legram to The Star
DUBLIN. March i2-The two leading
railway companies of the country have just
held their semi-yearly meetings. From tho
point of view of the general interest and
apart from any question of management
the reports of the meetings taken in con
Eection with that of the Midland railway
meeting make rather depressing reading.
The tendency OF the revenue Is downward.
Ordinary passenger receipts and agrlcul-
tural traffics show heavy depreciation,
Usually the railway chairinen are found
swelling the prosperity chorus even when
It is in cruel discord with the actual condl-
ton OF the country. However, the situation
is serious enough TO warrant anxiety. AL
of the railways record a serious depression
in the leading industry OF the country ana
a serious decline under most OF the other
heads or revenue. The facts revealed IL
the speeches are strangely at variance Will
the facts recorded In the artificial market
created for the landlords property by tho
land act OF 1908.
a rise of 80 per cent I'm land prices, COM
bined with a fall of from to IS per cent
in the principal agricultural exports. is "a
strange phenomenon. And this fall
ceeds fall. There Is no doubt" says the
chairman of the Great Southern railway.
that the trade of the country has been in a
most depressed state during the whole oI
the present half year" The cattle traffic
exports into the Mersey. Surely the people
who are advising the peasants OF Ireland 10
be cautious about the contracts they are
entering into binding themselves and their
successors for seventy years. IL Is argued
by those who are In favor OF greater eco
nomic and political liberties for Ireland have
reason on their side when the railway re
ports of Ireland contribute toward the AZ
gument.
Sanctioning Parliamentary Bills.
The extraordinary meeting OF the Great
Northern shareholders was engaged In
sanctionlng three parliamentary bills which
the company is promoting. One OF them
involves a fresh development of English
railway ownership In this country. and Il
is said that the attention of the representa-
tives OF Ireland in the house of commons
will be called TO certain franchises which
are being asked for and efforts VIII be made
to compel the railway companies 10 give
Ireland square deal"
The country has heartily Endorsed the res
olutions unanimously adopted at the meet
ing OF the Irish parliamentary party. These
resolutions take note OF the fact that MEM
bers of the party sometimes requested
by their constituents and others to tse tn
fluence with the government with the View
of securing appointments. and declares Il
to be inconsistent and improper for any
member of the party to use influence, dl-
rectly or Indirectly, to obtain paid govern
ment situations. appointments or promo
tons of any kind whatsoever for any per
SON This declaration Ia regarded as a fresh
declaration of the Independence of the Irish
party. and 1t defines the only position con-
sistent with the objects and the principles
of the party.
