WEATHER AND RATES.
Conditions of Temperature May Force
the Railroads to Reductions.

Weather conditions are frequently
of striking influence upon rates. To
start with the seasonable topic of
ice, there was in a winter not long
past a total failure of the ice crop
on the Hudson river and the lakes
and streams in New Jersey and east
ern Pennsylvania. 1t was suddenly
utilized for the supply of ice for New
York and the populous adjoining re-
gion for the coming summer. Lake
Champlain and Lake George, several
hundred miles away, seemed most
available, and rail transportation had
to be arranged. Here was a new situ-
alton, and a new and exceptional traf-
fic, for which no rates had ever be-
fore been needed or established. The
emergency was quickly met, the
necessary law rates were made, the
ice was transported, and the deficiency
supplied.
A year or so ago the weather gave
another aspect to the ice problem. A
particularly cold season left a large
surplus stock of ice in the icehouses
in the vicinity of New York City. This
depressed the ice so as to affect in
juriously the business of those lakes
in Pennsylvania which regularly
shipped ice to New York. To repair
as far as possible this unexpected in
jury to a regular, established business,
the railroads leading from Pennsyl-
vania made a substantial reduction in
their rates for ice transportation in
order that their patrons during the
emergency might reach other more
distant markets.-From Samuel Spen-
GERS Railway Rates and Industrial
Progress in the Century.

More Sleep for public School Pupils.

Members of the Council of the Medi-
cal officers of Schools Association
England have sent a communication
to The London Times, alleging that
pupils at the public schools have in
sufficient sleep.
"It is held by those who have paid
special attention to the subject" the
letter continues, 'that a minimum of
nine hours of unbroken rest in sum-
mer and nine and a half in winter is
needed by the average boy from Is to
16. It is not sufficient to send the
boys earlier to bed in dormi-
tories in which the older boys cause a
disturbance by coming up later, and a
definite wrong is inflicted on growing
boys by giving them only the same
amount of sleep that is needed by
those who have reached maturity. Ii
this is done, it is almost certain that
the majority of boys will leave school
less well equipped for the struggle Of
life. both in body and in mind, than
might have been the case if more gen
erous hours of rest had been accorded
to them during their years of develop
ment."

a warning s1ghar for ar parents and
college authorities lifts itself from
the grave Of the gifted young student
who came to her death by drowning
at one Of our well-known women's col
leges recently, thinks Leslie's Weekly.
The circumstances indicate that it was
a case Of elf-destruction, although
that it not wholly clear. 1t is certain
that the girl was a victim of melan-
cholia, induced by inconsistencies, and
that she had pleaded with both her
to return home. 1t was her freshman
year and her first long absence from
her mothers side. From a letter found
in her room it appears that the girls
mind had become so affected by her
loneliness and home-longings that she
had resolved to make an end of life.
The story is pitiful, and has it's own
lesson for all parents and guardians
of the young not to be over anxious il
choosing a college career for the chill
dren. The higher education is an ex
cellent thing in its place, but there are
some things yet more desirable ano
still precious, and these are
health, happiness and a c~ontented
mind.

Terrible Scaly Humor in Patches AL

Terrible scaly Humor in Patches All
Over Body-Skin Cracked and
Bleeding-Cured by Cuticura.
ST was afflicted with psoriasis for thirty
five years. 1t was in patches all over my
body. | used three cakes of Cuticura
Soap, six boxes of Ointment and two bot
ties of Resolvent. In thirty days l was
completely cured, and l think permanent
ly, as it was about five years ago. The
psoriasis first made its appearance in red
spots, generally forming a circle, leaving
in the centre a spot about the size of a
silver dollar of sound flesh. In a short
time the affected circle would form q
heavy dry scale of white silvery appear
ance, and would gradually drop off. To
remove the entire scales by bathing or
using oil to soften them the flesh would
be perfectly raw, and a light discharge of
bloody substance would ooze out. That
gcaly crust would form again in twenty
four hours. 1t was worse on my arms and
limbs, although it was in spots all over
my body, also on my scalp. If l let the
scales remain too long without removing
by bath or otherwise, the skin would
crack and bleed. l suffered intense itch
ing, worse at nights after getting warm
in bed, or blood warm by exercise, when
it would be almost unbearable. w. NJ.

It is impossible to prevent specula-
ton, and there are some phases Of 1t
that it Is not desirable to prohibit,
says the Louisville Courier Journal.
SO long as the spectators use their
own money and harm only themselves
the general public has small cause for
complaint. But so close is the con-
nection of legitimate business with
speculative activity that the n nus
largely influence the other. Thus
business prosperity stimulates specu-
lation, and the excesses Of the latter
imperil legitimate business. 1t Is Inn
possible wholly to avoid this danger,
but it would be enormously reduced by
any measures which would prevent the
use of trust funds for purposes OF
speculatioh. For this there is no ex-
cuse. 1t greatly intensifes the peril
which prosperity inevitably brings.
The country has received adequate
warning, and If the future bring dis
aster it will be by reason of a failure
to heed the cautionary signals which
have been SO a~bundantly displayed,
