WOMEN IN MEDIEVAL TIMES.
In Many Ways They Had Easier Lives
Than Their Descendants,

The women of the sixteenth century
and earlier times had easier lives than
those of our generation. To be sure,
there are a hundred labor saving de-
vices today which were unknown to
them. But in at. least two important
respects they had the advantage over
their descendants. They waged no
conflict against dirt such as we carry
on from morning till night The Eliz-
abethan had no prejudice against gar
bage in his front yard, vermin in his
bedroom, decaying rushes on the floor
Of his banquet hall, or soiled lace in
his sleeves. The strength of arm and
spirit which now goes to keeping clean
was left to the medieval lady for other
tasks. Moreover, although her cloth
ing was gorgeous-rich with embroid-
cry and lace, and heavy with Jewels
it was not subject to rapid changes Of
fashion. The cut Of a sleeve or the
hang of skirt was settled for five
years rather than five months. Life
was then free from the modern terror
of looking like a last years rag bag"

In Praise of the Pie.

Laura Simmons tells in an article
why good New Englanders should
stick to pie, and calls attention to the
fact that Emerson ate it three times
a day, and says that pie is the ladder
by which New England has climbed
to its place of proud eminence. She
questions whether any sensible per-
son was ever known to forage at the
midnight hour for predigested cereals
or the innecuous prune. She does not
believe that many New England ances-
tors died of apoplexy, due to pie, but
counsels all to go on pie-eating, despite
the fact that the fat has gone forth
that it is vulgar to eat pie.

THE LOAD OF THE LAZY.
This Man Worked Hard in His Own
Particular Way.

One of the neighborhood loafers sat
comfortably smoking his foul pipe, ac-
cording to his daily custom, in the pre-
scription room of a drug store. He
was soliloquizing aloud to the clerk.
Here is a sample of his sound, con-
tented philosophy: I'll tell you what!
A man is mighty miserable if he amt
got nothin' to do, when he amt work
in at somethin'. know tive tried
both ways an l find that there amt
nothin' that makes man more miser-
able than dom nothin'. But, you
know, there's two kinds of work; one
of them is where a teller goes to work
at six in the mornin' an works with
his hands till six at night. The other
is where Teller sits around an thinks.
I amt never happy unless I'm work
in, but I don't believe in that first
kind of work. believe in thinkin' all
day long, an that's harder than the
other kind. 1 can tell you-you just
try it if you don't believe me; man
is mighty miserable when he amt

ALL RELIGIONS IN LONDON.
Faithist Community Latest Addition

The Faithist community which has

London's religious sects. which are
now almost as many as the days of

burns his incense stick in more than
one jOss-house in the east end, the Ma
hometan has his mosque, the Malayan
bis temple, near st. Georges street
east; the Parsees worship the sun in
Bloomsbury, the Mormons have a mis-
sion in Islington, and in many parts
Of the metropolis the Buddhists and
Ancestor Worshipers perform their
strange rites. OF Christian sects in
London there are at least 800, includ-
ing the Cokelers, the disciples of VIII
liam Sirgood, the Walworth shoe

they struck the fastidious taste of
John Hay. then Secretary of State,
who wrote and asked for a copy of
them from President Wheeler. On the
receipt of this copy he sent the fol

a letter which now seems filled with
a strange and unconscious prescience:
Dear Mr. President:
President Wheeler sent me the in

RAILROAD NEWS.
DUE TO THE POOR CARS.
DEATHS ON RAILROADS CHIEFLY
THE DAY COACHES.
Few Persons Who Ride in the Pull
mans Are Injured or Killed
In Wrecks.

Railway statistics on their very
face show that the greater per cent.
OF people killed on the railroads dur
ing the past year were those who were
riding in the ordinary day coaches.
which make up the greater part Of all
passenger trains. Only a very few
passengers were killed in the Pullman
cars
There are several reasons why SO
few people are injured in Pullman
cars and such a great number killed
in the day coaches. The chief reason
is the flimsy construction of the day
coach as compared with the substan-
TALLY built Pullman cars. 1t is said
among railroad men that the Pullman
car weighs 125,0OO pounds while the
day coach hardly approaches 10000
pounds. The difference in weight is
materials used in the two coaches.
One Of the reasons put forward as to
why Pullmans are built stronger, is
that the company furnishing the cars
to the railroads. is private one, and
1t is to their interest to build only
the most substantial cars. The rail-
roads on the other hand are not SO
careful. Pullman cars are seldom
wre cked. When a collision occurs
they may roll from the tracks and ov-
err and over again. They remain in
tact however where an ordinary day
coach would be completely demol-
ished. In a collision the heavy Pull
mans hauled to the rear of the train
vertically pillow through the flimsy day
coaches which are so lightly con-
structed. Until all steel cars or more
substantial wooden ones are built by
the roads, deaths will continue to oc-
cur in day coaches with fearful enor-
nifty.

SHORTAGE OF CARS.

1t Is said the car shortage is daily
becoming more pronounced and the
freight officials have their men en-
ployed in looking after the prompt I'M
loading and loading of cars rather
than for new business. An old traffic
official well versed on the situation
says he never knew like conditions to
exist so early in the fall and winter
months. The corn crop bids fair to
exceed far in quantity the expecta-
tons of shippers, and there are large
quantities of hay, oats, and wheat yet
to be moved. Summing it all up,
where the cars are to come from to
handle the increasing local business
and the through traffic is question
which the wisest railroad men can not
determine.
