to be one of the most important changes

English Freight Trains.
From the Boston Herald.

From Inc Boston I1efau
For "A quarter of a century. so expeditions
Is the British method. freight has been col
lected in London late in the afternoon and
delivered at the consignee's door anywhere
south of Scotland the following morning
The great American roads send out four
fast freight trains daily from New York:
the London and Northwestern railway
sends out twenty-eight! But the English
freight car or goods wagon. for this serv-
ice has a capacity of ten tons. and twenty
four or twenty-five of these make up
train. Three tons per wagon Is considered
good loading. At that rate there must be
an engine and crew for every seventy tons
of freight. A New York Central grain
train. with one engine and crew. hauls
1000 tons. The coal trains on the Pennsyl-
vania haul more Hundred-ton steel cars
are common on that line.
But there is another difference that must
be considered. or comparisons of this sort
come to nothing. The British railways
companies do in this country. The small
cars, their managers say. suit this work
better than our large cars would. That
however. Is to be doubted: the plea is quite
as likely to be in defense of old-gydom
At any rate some British lines, notably the
Northeastern, have begun to use cars with
a capacity of not less than sixty tons. but
1t does not appear that these are for fast
freight The Northwestern, with htirty-
six cars to the fast freight train. considers
100 tons a good train load. This looks like
extravagant handling. Two Of the fast
freights from New York carry in all prob
ability, as much as the twenty eight trains
of the London and Northwestern.

TROPICAL STORM.
Weather Bureau Anxiously Watching
Course Of hurricane

Another tropical disturbance which may
prove to be as destructive as the recent
hurricane which devastated the vicinity Of
Mobile and other places along the Gulf Of
Mexico, has been reported to the weather
bureau. Up to a late hour this afternoon
the officials Of the weather service had not
been able to definitely locate the new
storm or give any information as to its
force or intensity.
I'VE only know said Prof Edward B.
Garriotl, the forecaster, that the barom-
eter Is low over the eastern part of the
gulf and that there is much rain down
there and other evidences of big storm
Cautionary signal flags are flying at all
ports along the south Atlantic and east
gulf coasts. The weather officials say they
may receive some more definite informa-
ton concerning the disturbance later to-
day.
1t is said the approach of this storm was
first reported by the Belen College of
Jesuits at Havana, Cuba
The weather in this vicinity is liable to
remain as at present for the next day or
two according to Prof. Garriott.

THE OLD IDEAL OF WOMEN.
And Why It No Longer Fits the
Case.

From the Portland Oregonian.
In his letter, which is published this
morning, D. c. Grunow intimates that the
young women who have their photographs
printed in various athletic attitudes do so
to attract suitors and secure husbands.
The same reasoning oonvinces us that the
young men who have theirs printed in base
ball and pugilistic costumes do so to Sc
cure wives. Mr.. Grunow suggests that the
girls would accomplish their purpose bet
ter II the pictures represented them max
ing a pan of biscuits or washing up the
dinner dishes. Were he advising the boys
instead of their sisters. he would recon-
mend a pose in the cornfield with a hoe
and overalls
Mr. Grunow's letter expresses mode Of
thought which is almost pathetic in its i'm
possible anachronism. Apparently he can
think Of a woman only housekeeper
and cook These were once the only occu-
pations which she was permitted to take
up. and the only ones she was fitted for;
but In these days to talk as II every wom-
an must spend her life in the kitchen Is
no less absurd than the belief that every

ing. Both of them are useful occupations.
and to many persons they are agreeable.
not became rys9zed the sphere Of
woman has enlarged and assumed diver
sity. Many occupations are now open to
her which have no relation to cooking and
dish washing. Skill in these arts would
net help in the least to make her living
as a typewriter or an amanuensis.
1t Is perhaps regrettable, but it is
fact all the same, that many women neither
expect nor wish to And husbands They
expect to have their cooking dore by
somebody else, exactly as do. And
why not? Women not always make very
good cooks The art is not one in which
they excel, nor are their attitul IS in prac-
ticing it especially charming. There are
many things more beautiful than a woman
covered with flour making pan Of bis
cults. though few things, we admit are
more useful. Cooking Is mans work par
excellence. The cook at the roundup is a
great dignitary. endued with power little
short of arbitrary. The younger Dumas
making cabbage soup was a spectacle
to fill the bosom of the observer with joy
did Mr.. Grunow's eyes ever rest upon than
the cook for a lumber camp trumpeting
his slaves to their matutinal meal, even as
Gabriel will rouse them on the last day?
Such work is not for women. Fancy a
coy maiden Hopping fapjacks for a crowd
of hungry cowboys. Imagine her. If you
can, roasting a doughgod for a crew of
loggers taking drive down the Passama-
ouoddy, the Cowlitz of the Clatskanie.
Cooking Is mans work. No wonder the
girls do not relish being photographed bak-
ing pans of biscuits. 1t would be too mas
culine. They wisely prefer to keep within
their proper sphere and play tennis and
vote.
