AGE LIMIT FOR RAILROAD MEN,

Some railroads ut-Oserlzed Osler
not long ago by adopting q rule forbid
ding the employment OF new men past
30 years OF age.
II Is gratifying, says the Railway
Carriers Journal, to learn that the alb
surdity Of limiting the age az which q
railway man Is eligible for employment
Is passing away more rapidly than the
promoters OF such measure expected
Already the principal roads In Ameri-
ca where the experiment has been tried
have abandoned the regulation The
Boston 4 Maine, the Alton, the st. Paul
and the Burlington are virtually ignor-
ing the age limit regulation, and guild
ed by common sense, are hiring men
more with view 10 their qualifica-
lions than TO the exact number Of years
which they may have lived
Experience and capability are the
real tests Of a mans fitness for any po-
sition, and IL a railway official makes
the mistake of hiring an Incompetent
man there is no law compelling the
company to continue To employ him.
Years In themselves are no criterion.
Some men are old at 40. Others are
young at 90. In any event IL Is safe
TO assume that lack of the suppleness
of youth is often more than made up for
by the wider experience of added years.

Men Have Not Degenerated.

1t Is common to hear Of the giant
people who lived in the old days, yet
It is decidedly uncommon to find proof
that the average ancient was any lar
ger or more powerfully built than the
average person Of the present day.
The Egyptian mummies show these
people to have been Of medium size.
The remains taken from the catacombs
do not differ In size from the people
Of the present, while the armor which
was worn by the warriors OF the long
ago fit as readily the forms Of people
who are not at ali gigantic or at least
extraordinarily above the average ell
ther In girth or stature. There were
great men In the old days, but as great

There Is a curious old market near
Paris In which everything Is sold al

her old felt hat and buy a straw one,
exchange her old dress for a new one
and, If she likes, buy a steak and q
salad for her dinner, a paper bag OF
fried potatoes, sweets and some flow
ers for her window. Democracy Is king
here, and no more attention is paid tc

What the superior man seeks Is In

There is no disgrace In unprevent-

doing our level best to better our con-

Poverty Itself is not 80 bad as the

made a living by getting hurt. Inc

spot in the suburbs Of Paris. One OF
the band riding a bicycle would man
age to get knocked down and run over
by a cart. The rest of the members
were witnesses of the accident and
unanimously agreed that 1t was en-
tirely the fault Of the driver. An ac-
ton for damages followed, and the in
surance company had to pay the ID
iured man the amount OF the poilcy
he held. But suspicion was excited Dy
the fact that it was always the same
people who appeared as witnesses OF
victims. and in the end the ways or the
confederation were discovered. Dur
ing the eighteen months existence OF
the voluntary Accident society" II

THE MODERN HOTEL.
Product of the Times, II Is Made ny
the Guests.

A Product of the Times, IL fs Made ny
the Guests.
Among the silly and absurd articles
anpearing from time to time concern
ing hotel and tavern keeping, one tells
us again and again how the modern
hotel is shown to disadvantage when
compared with the inns Of colonial
days In these articles the writer Oil
lates and expatiates on the hospitality
of the old time tavern, and the cold,
Indifferent and almost cruel treatment
received from the hands Of the modern
hotel man. OF course every one knows
II he will drop sentiment for moment
and give the subject little sober re-
faction that the modern traveller. tour
ist or hotel guest would absolutely re-
fuse the accommodations afforded by
the Inn Of q hundred years ago. The
only advantage Of hotel OF those
times lay in the fact that the lack OF
material comforts drew from the trav'
eler q warmer fellow feeling and great
or sociability-a condition In which one
man was more his brothers keeper
than prevails today. Again, the travel
by coach and the small number thrown
together. en- route or at the hotel. mace
closer acQuaintanceship not only posi-
BILE. but far more desirable than In our
day Of big hotels and big crowds.
The modern hotel is product OF the
times. The wants, desires. whims, raus
and. on top Of all these, the imperative
demands of those who travel have
| made the hotel Of today what 1t Is from
the standpoint OF food, accommoda'
tons. method Of service and manage
| ment and from every point OF view
The hotel keeper of today responds tc
the bidding Of the guests. One mign'
almost say Of the man and woman VINO
travel: Here is your hotel. You have
planned II. furnished It. You have out
lined its methods Of management, and
Il is what you believe should be com
pretended In the modern hotel"
The colonial tavern, which would no
be tolerated for a moment In our days
was adapted to It's times. To speak o.
II as being superior to the modern hos
telry is to claim that the old stage
coach, which left you more weary an'
worn at the end of q hundred mile
than the palace coach does today a
the end of thousand miles, was su
perlor vehicle Of travel to those use'

A curious survival Of the days when
the magicians of Europe sought inde-
fatigably for the philosophers stone 10
the superstition that attaches TO the
hazel tree. The old alchemists used
to make their divining rods out OF
hazel twigs, and they fostered the be-
lief that II would mysteriously direct
Its owner to hidden treasures, If 1t was
manipulated with the absolute faith
that was required In all those occult
entertainments Of the middle ages. AS
time went on, the rod Of Jacob" as
a branch of hazel was universally
known, gathered new powers. MOI
only would it lead to the discovery OF
buried boards, but 1t would also act
as an infallible agent in locating run
away servants and escaped criminals
It was a sure guide to underground
springs as well. and was an unfailine

August.

august" the name of the month, is
accented on the first syllable. "Au

to the fact that, though both started
from the Latin augustus" they have
arrived by different routes. The ad
1ective Is the French "auguste," while
