REMEMBERING FREIGHT CARS.

The American railroads are engaged
in REMEMBERING their cars, both freight
and passenger. To each railroad is
assigned a series of consecutive num-
bers, and this series will be appor-
toned in the lists to g%ondolas, to box
cars, totcoke cars, and SO on. There
will be on duplicates in the entire
country, so that when a railroad official
sees a number he can in a moment
ascertain what railroad owns the ear,
and what kind of car it is.
This will do away with a world OF
uncertainty. 1t will reduce the tracing
of cars to a definite system. The num-
Der Of a car will hereafter be its his
tory, and the use of complex initifl
letters will be abolished.
But it is no light task to get the new
numerals on $50 900 cars more Or less.
Some of those cars are away from home,
and the they maynot get back in years,
certainly not in months, and they can
not be remembered until they are re-
to the home road. A long time
may elapse, the1 efore, before the task
is completed, out when it is accom-
plised all will wonder way it had not
done long before.

PAY OF PREACHERS.

President Lyman Hood, of the At
lanta Theological Seminary, says the
average yearly salary of the preachers
of Georgia Is less than $500. Those who
receive the smallest salaries are the
ones who not only have to preach the
gospel, attend the sick, marry the
young and bury the dead, but who
also have to bulk the fire in the church
stove, raise the hymns and sometimes
play the organ. The day laborer and
the public school teachers are the only
rivals Of the preachers in scant living.
Not a few are promised better pay,
and the chief trouble seems to consist
in the uncertainty and insecurity Of
such promises. Churches oftentimes
call a pastor at, say, $500, and at. the
end of the year he has received $3.50,
and owes perhaps his grocer.
The situation is distressing, and it is
partly due to the multiplication of sects
and therefore of churches in rural dis
tricts, or at any rate in small villages,
but it is also partly due to the non
ful1llment of promises made when a
pastor is called. The country is pros
porous. All products, including cot
ton, bring a good price, and the time
has come to increase the pay of preach
ers, and'to pay them in full promptly.
Because they have no union and
cannot strike is no reason why they
should be treated stability.
The city preachers can take care OF
themselves, and the village and coun-
try preachers should be treated justly.
A reform in that direction is partieu-
1arly needed in the South, and it is tC
be hoped the Georgia agitation of this
matter will be maintained until some
results flow from it.

TWO-BILLION- DOLLAR CONGRESS.
Effects permanent cures.

When Mr.. Reed was charged with
leading q bilIion-dollar Congress, he
retorted that this is a billion-dollar
country. This was in 1890. The Fifty
first was a billion-dollar Congress-, but
the Fifty-ninth has made that record
look small in comparison, for the ap-
propriations of the latter will very
nearly aggregate two billions of dol
lars.
The first session of the present Con-
gress voted appropriations to the
amount of $3.50, 1S6, 3O1, and it is be-
lieved the sum total of appropriations
in the short session will be $1,1O5 ,OOO,-

coast line guarded without having a big
navy and a big army also. All federal

Al per lcent statistics show that state

up so per cent.
CongressmanirTawney, chairman Of
the comittee on appropriations, is
which the general appropriation bills
have been carried to high figures. He
predicts a treasury deficit Of $1O0, 00O,-
900 in 1908. The House will, however,
pay no attention to Mr., Tawney's fig
ures and predictions. ut will go on
voting away the peoples money until
an actual deficit stares it. in the face.
Mr.. Tawney's figures are, however, sur
prising, and he is a republican leader.
He said: The estimates have been
increased in five of the regular appro-
priation bills to the extent of 500, 919,-
229. In addition to these there are
obligations created by the rivers and
and ava appropriation bills,
in round numbers OF 73,634,53 In
addition to this there are supplemental

CANNED MEATS.

The cause of pure food was finely
cultural appropriation bill was taken
up, for the Senate inserted in it an
amendment requiring packers to state
the date of the manufacture OF a pack
g Of canned meat in the label pasted
on it. The bill nov goes to conference,
dealers will no doubt get busy at
Washington. Some Of them will go
there, while more of them will pull the
capitalistic strings that have long been
influential in Congress.
The measure needs watching. 1t will
be opposed de~terminedly, and if the
Senate amendment is left out in the
conference Ereport it will be because
subway influences are stronger than
public sentiment. No southern Con-
gresham will vote against letting his
own people know when a package put
before them as food was made. The
age of food-especially of came stuffs
is all important, and to say that the
date of manufacture shall not be re-
quired is to say that packers are to be
left in a position that enables them to
deceive and perhaps injure
1t goes without saying that the age of
every package of canned meat should
above all things be made known to
the consumer. The Senate amendment
should be retained, wholly regardless
of what 1.-THE Jungle may desire.

STOLEN FROM A SUB.TREASURY.

In bills of denominations of 81 900,
$4,000 and $40, 900 the sum of $173 900
was stolen from the sub-treasury at
Chicago on either Saturday, the 10th,
or else on Monday, the 18th. The loss
was not discovered until Tuesday, the
10th.
Strictly speaking, that sum Of money
has disappeared from Uncle Sans
s"ub-treaaury in Chicago, despite all the
safeguards that attend one of those in
situations. The loss was reported on
Tuesday by the man in the teller's
cage and he says he knows the money
is missing, but he does not know who
took it. The teller was not, however,
the only man who had access to the
age Twenty or thirty other clerks had
daily access to it. The blame rests,
after a fashion, upon all of them. The
United States detectives are working
night and day Oh the case.
The bills in question have disar-
peared, and this seems to be all that
had been discovered in relation to the
matter up to yesterday. Today may
bring new developments, and then
again it may not. George Fitzgerald,
who was in charge Of the teller's cage,
does not seem to be under suspicion,
and vet all the detectives say the
guilty man is among the employees, all
of whom are in their respective places
in the ~sub-treasury Office. Not only
government hut private detectives are
at work on the case, and the belief is
that some clue will be discovered, al
though a full week has elapsed since
the money disappeared as if by magic.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by loba1 applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitution
al remedies. Deafness is caused by an infamed
condition of the mucous1 lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal condition. hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an infiamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

MILLIONS FOR Quotations.

The huge fund now held by the gen.
eral education board is attracting gen.
eral attention. The men who have
made. education a life work are not
agreed about it. Many think 1t may
prove harmful, but that is scarcely
probable, because the principal is not
to be disbursed. The Rockefeller gift
is to become a permanent fund. and
only the income of that fund, about
$500. 900 a yea is to be handed out.
A sum of that proportion will not prove
revolutionary in a big country.
How tits to be handed out Secretary
Butterick recently explained: "We be-
ieye," he said, ''that education is best
accomplished by beginning at the top
and working downward. Our first pur-
pose. therefore, is the endowment OF
colleges. Secondly, we are encourag-
ing the establishment of high schools
10y providing instructors through the
universities, and lastly, we are seek
to instruct the farmers in scientific ag-
riculture, in cooperation with the de-
partment of agriculture. We think
that the farmer will learn more rapidly
by practical demonstrations. Our mot
to is, write the theory of scientific ag-
ricuulture in the soil, rather than on the
printed page"
No other official information has
been given out, although it has been
stated that every city of 1O0, 900 inhab-
itants in the land is to be aided in Sc
curing a properly endowed college. The
needs of this section in the direction
of technical training seem to come
within the scope of the Butterick pro.
gramme, and the nature of h situa-
ton should be laid before he board.

Sarah Bernhardt was born in Paris

tradgedy and comedy.

addition to the production of great

doubt the Conservatoire will become
the chief scene of her latest lobors
In 1882 she married a Greek actor,
from whom she was soon divorced, and
she has since remained single. Alto
gether her life has been devoted to the
highest in art, and altogether that life
has been one Of the most successful in
