In the Court of Love.

The grave problem of matrimony-
grave for Che unmarried. still. graver
for the married-is opened under a
new and troublous aspect by the keen
remarks of magistrate of New York
who has the fortune to be known as
"the happy little judge" Like all
philosophers, says the Chicago Post,
the happy little judge is the wiser be-
cauae he is unconcerned. He has
reached the haven, il not the port, of
widowerhood. From these calm wa
ters he launches his torpedo against
the Haunting craft of single bliss. He
declares that nine out of every ten
men over 80 years of age brought he
fore him are unmarried. Marry young,
he admonishes. Few single men are
truly great. All men who wish to ssc-
ceed should marry.

CIVILIZATIONS FRIEND.
The Iron Horse Spreads knowledge
and ProQress.

We have vet two decades to wait be-
fore we can celebrate the centennial
anniversary of the birth of the railroad
says THE Worlds Progress" in Four
Track News for July. 1t is a wonder
full record. that eighty years of rapid
transit development 1t has revolu-
tionized the world commercially. So
cially and intellectually. The Atlantic
and the Pacific have become near
neighbors: the inaccessible and there
fore valueless plains of the West have
been penetrated and brought into
touch with the markets of the world:
New York and Chicago, that in the pio-
neer days We're weeks away from one
another, are now but eighteen hours
apart.
The railroad has entered Jerusalem:
1t has pierced darkest Africa; it is
crossing the sands of Sahara; it scales
the side of Vesuvius; it bridges the
most forbidding chasms and tunnels
through mountains and under rivers.
The whistle of the locomotive is the
voice of progress, The rails over
which it runs are steel bands that bind
nations into a great commercial broth
erhood.
The rapid development of the world
along every desirable line since the To-
comotive became a factor in human af-
fairs, is all the argument necessary to
prove the railroad the greatest of all
civilizing influences. A comparison OF
the past eighty years with the thou
sands of centuries preceding furnishes
an eloquent proof of the far-reaching,
uplifting. industrial, ethical and edu-
cational value of the railroad.

ch,no;. Skin of Commerce.

Charles C. Druedling, OF Philadel-
phia, has written an article for the
American Journal Of Pharmacy on the
subject of chamois skins. What is
known in the market as chamois skins,
he says, is really an obtained sheep
or lamb skin lining. The supply OF
skins from the chamois animal is very
limited-enoush could not be obtained
in a year to supply the United States
for more than a single day. He made
special inquiry on recent visit 10
Switzerland about the annual crop OF
the chamois skin and ascertained that
from 5000 to 5000 skins would be
fair average yearly crop. This skin is
heavier than the skin of the sheep or
lamb. also much coarser. For strength
and durability the chamois skin is pre-
ferable, but for ordinary use and ap-
pearance the obtained sheep skin
lining would, in most instances. be
preferred.

would allow their painters to take

Instead Of allowing barely time for the

First Sight of Pixies Peak.

Writing from Goodnight, Texas. to
the Colorado Springs Gazette, Donald
Hewitt says:
Pike first saw the grand peak" or
great snow mountain" as he invari-
ably calls it, at O'Clock on the after
:loon of November Is, 1906. He was
then marching along the Arkansas
river a half dozen miles or less below
the point at which the Purgatory or
Las Animas river flows into the Ar
kansas. This is not far from the CEN
te: of Bent county. Colorado. 1t is
exactly eighty miles in an air line from
Pueblo and 120 miles from the peak. A
study of Pixies journal with good
map at hand will determine the po-
sitiCn at that time with considerable
accuracy. The stages of his journey
or the days preceding November 18th
can be easily followed. The two dry
creeks, and very high points of rocks
passed early in the morning of the 18th
ave to be found on the map. Nor is
there the slightest doubt that "the
fork discovered before evening on the
south side bearing S. 20 degrees W., is
the Purgatory or Las Animas river.
So far as | know no one has yet at
tempted to locate the hill to which
Pike refers when he says: when our
small party arrived on the hill. they
with one accord gave three cheers to
the Mexican mountains Here is a
problem to be worked out by some
good citizen of Las Animas.

Largo cities grow larger at tre-

vania the growth of Philadelphia has
been much more rapid than the
growth OF the rural portion OF the
state. 1t is often wondered who lives
in all the new houses that are built in
this city, says the Philadelphia Press.
Dwellings are going up at the rate OF
over 1000 month. The natural
growth of the city would fill some of
these new houses. but not all of them.
1t requires the steady stream Of rural
population that is constantly flowing
In this direction. Why do they come?
The freer and gayer life attracts
many. The hopes of larger field for
the development of their ambitions
lures others. Perhaps motives less
honorable than any of these impel still
more to seek seclusion in the wilder
ness OF streets" The best and the
worst undoubtedly come. AS result
of the immense growth of the cities,
the problem OF governing them prop
eriy and of making them beautiful and
attractive is steadily increasing in i'm
portance. 1t has come to be true that
the biggest questions in government
