RATE BILL PASSED
LONG FOUGHT MEASURE GOT
FAVORABLE VOTE.
Al! the Senator'S Present, Except
Three, Voted for Measure-Forak-

posed-N. o. Senators Pleased.

Washington, May 19.--After seventy
days of almost continuous delibera-
tion the senate yesteray at 4:53 p. m.
passed the railroad rate bill by the
practically unanimous vote of II to
3. Three negative votes were cast by
Forker, republican, Ohio, and Morgan
and Pettus, democrats, Alabama.
There was q somewhat larger attend
ance of senator's than usual, but the
attendance i'm the galleries was by no
means abnormal, and there was no
manifestation of any kind when the
result was announced. There was.
however, almost a general sigh of re-
lief among the senator's.
McCumber's View.
Commenting on the rate bin which
passed the senate today Senator Nc
Cumber said:
'The senate by it's amendments has
put teeth i'm the mouth and claws in
the feet of this rate bill and In several
instances has cut the constitutional
cords in which it was entangled and
which would, I'm my opinion, certainly
have strangled II.
1--WE have brought the private car
lines under control of the interstate
commerce commission and express
companies and have broadened and
strengthened and made the bill more
effective in many ways"
Hansbrough Pleased.
Senator Hansbrough said: Il regard
the bin as being a decied improve
ment over the existing law and look
for beneficial results to shippers
throughout the country. An impor-
tant feature of the bill is the amend
ment offered by my colleague. Sena-
tor McCumber, on the question of re-
bates. On the question of court re-
view the president and the senate re-
publicans have been in close accord
from the beginning, both being ear
nestly desirous that the law should
withstand judicial scrutiny"

Professional ADtique HuDters

twenty-five to fifty per cent can be made for
persons with plenty of money are willing to pay
any price to obtain genuine antiques. 1t has
now come to be considered as safe an investment
as diamonds or railroad securities, for, as time
goes on genuine pieces of old mahogany grow
more scarce and soon it will be impossible to
purchase them for love or money.
New York is no longer considered field for
the purchasing of antiques, the antique fur
nture shopper hies herself to Boston and vicin-
ity. She gets an order, say, for set of bedroom
furniture four poster, dressing table, bureau, ETC.
Already she doubtless has secured an option on
the very pieces the order calls for, or if not she
Knows lust about the locality where they are
to be found.
Ancestral pride and family sentiment often
interfere with the purchase Of the relics, but
money is potent factor in overcoming any such
difaeulties, and nine times out of ten the shopper
;s successful in driving her bargains.
While il is true that the value of old furniture
is now pretty generally known even in the re-
mote districts of Massachusetts still there is a
wide margain between the standards Of the coun-
trv owners and those in the city, and this is
where the profit comes in. This particular shop
ner recently cleared $1,000 on deal in which
some dozen pieces of Colonial mahogany furniture
changed hands.
But while success attends her efforts in the

ideal is the story of young Edinburg doctor
who gave up his sweetheart because her laugh
rang false, or so it seemed to him.
In 1887 DR.. John Walsch was on the eve of
being married when the trial Of Medaline Smith
whom he had met on one or two occasions
for poisoning Emile L'Angelier took place at
Glasgow Being in his iancee's company, he
CHANGED to make some humorous remark at which
the young lady burst into hearty laugh-a fatal
laugh, for to her lover it sounded strangely like
laugh he had heard few weeks previously
the laugh of the accused woman; and so horri-
fed was he at the striking resemblance that he
broke off his engagement.
Right after this story come the names of for
egn mobiles, long since deceased, some of France
and some of England, who speak of being heart
broken by the laughs of certain court ladies to
whom they had given their affection. Mr.. Rand
has gathered these by careful research through
the love stories of famous people Some are con-

by saying that although Lincoln made no men

laugh must have one time sorely annoyed him,
else he would not have written so feelingly upon
the subject.
Andrew Jackson also speaks from the pages OF
Mr.. Rand's book. He said in letter to a
brother lawyer: 'T would of a certainty have
asked my hosts daughter to marry me had she
kept her mouth shut or opened it in cries OF
lamentation when Rick, the little pup about

TO fail. For it requires something more than
the ordinary knowledge of the artisan or the
cabnetmaker to tell antique mahogany There
is an inherent refinement, feeling for old
things which no amount of training supply
which is essential in professional shopper for
the antique in order not to be taken in with
spurious examples of Colonial art. For so-cever-
ly are the limitations made nowadays that un-
suspecting persons are easily fooled.
One antique manufacturer not far away from
the city reproduces such marvellous limitations
that only an expert can tell the difference.
After completing mahogany piece in imta-
ton of an old design it will literally be battered
to pieces, the feet perhaps knocked off, the sides
hacked up, worm holes made and every appear
ance of age added to it.
One woman who recently bought four poster
for an antique discovered that holes had been
deliberately made along the side pieces of the
bed in imitation of the ancient ones, when the
springs or mattress were fastened in with rope
These had been bored and afterward plugged
up with wood to lend the appearance Of the
antique TO the article.
She purchased the bed with the dealers guar,
antee, which, however, wasn't worth the paper
it was written on, and while she possesses hand,
some article of furniture she paid several times
too much for it. Other similar instances can ue
multiplied, that unless one really knows the
subject thoroughly there is unlimited chance for
fraud. But for woman who loves old furniture
for its own sake there is no more delightful or
profitable occupation.

A MARCONIGRAM.
Conversation EDcouraqed

once, it may be set down that she is an excellent
teacher. But when one weares herself in futile
attempt to get the young women to talk there is
something radically wrong with her system of
instruction.
"It is not so much the things said in class
of girls what they will be interested enough
TO say that most educates them. Nowadays, we
have teachers who ask to have rooms without
the usual desks with their dreary rigidity of
straight lines. They want movable chairs, so that
the class may group round them, and they will
really discuss the recitation, a method which, to
my mind, instructs the girls far more than the
usual question and answer done in the stereo-
typed way.
"a teacher who believed in this old style system
once requested me TO discipline one Of her girls
because the pupil in moment OF real interest
and politeness had interrupted her with the )ex-
clamation: How interesting Instead of taking
this as a compliment, Miss B. had reproved the
young woman with the statement, 1 am paid to
do all the talking that is done in this class
That was in the old days. Now, instructors are
not Lecturers, but are teachers of conversation.
notice that even the who illustrate lectures
with stereoptcon views make their listeners do
half of the talking.
"Girls enjoying any considerable amount of
such developing influences in school are likely to
be good conversationaliss. Yet, with all this
freedom of speech, teacher, as rule, has no
difficulty in suppressing the mere ehatterer and
in bringing out the talk that has some brains
behind it.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-10-28
A HEAvEN-SENT BLESSING

"There is so much conversational talent among
school girls and such natural desire to talk well
that the woman who knows what she is about will
aim chiefly to inspire and draw out rather than
to pour in. One would think that every teacher
would wish to do this, but our unfortunate desire
to show off frequently leads us to make mo-
notonous monologue of recitation when it should
be an interesting conversation which the in
structor guides judiciously while the pupils de-
velop themselves by expressing their thoughts
about the subject"

A little over twelve months ago, Mr. Rand
