EXPRESS RATES REDUCED.

The United States Express Co.
rate of 81 per 100 pounds on cut
flowers from New Jersey points to
New York. City has been reduced by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
to so cents per 100 pounds. This re-
auction was brought about through
the complaint of the Society of Amerl-
can Florists, and other organizations.
or individuals, elsewhere can obtain
the same results If the express charges
can be shown to be unreasonable.
This cut in express rates is the first
ordered under the new railroad rate
law and if not set aside by the courts
will undoubtedly lead to other reduc-
tions, for it is notorious that nearly
all express rates now charged are I'M
reasonable.

The freight blockade on some Of

worse rather than improving. A dis

ports that nearly 4,500 loaded cars are
tied UP on one division of the Union
Pacific. Only perishable freight is be
ing sent forward from Laramie for
the West and a great number of load.
ed cars are being held up at that point
to relieve the congestion on the divi.
sions further west. The policy of
running railroads by the frenzied
fnaneiers of Wall Street does not
seem to be to the advantage of the
patrons of the railroads however
much the stockholders may benefit
AS the Union Pacific pays 10 per cent
dividends ON the common stock there
is evident need of competition and a
cutting Of rates to a reasonable basis.
Yet this same corporation is fighting

son, the Department of Agriculture Is
again busy on What perhaps IS one
OF the most important phases OF
American development. namely the
good roads movement. This Is
matter that should keenly interest
every citizen Of the United States, for
it is the thing in which this country
is the most backward Of any civilized
power ON the globe. and it is one OF the
things that will do more than any
thing else to foster rural develop
ment, bring the farmer and the towns
man close together and make the
country the most desirable quarter
to live in, OF course, the department
cannot go out and build roads all
over the country but It has a we'll
equipped force of experts and is ready
ana able to furnish the best scientific
advice on road building for nothing
to any community that wants it. The
department even goes farther and
puts down a mile or so Of road as an
object lesson wherever it can and
the manufacturers of road machinery
furnish the machinery free for these
demonstration stretches of road, Sci
entifc road building is one of the
best investments of time and money
that any community can make,
and It would be a good thing
If every county in the country
would apply to the Secretary OF
Agriculture during the present sea.
son for such aid as the general Gov.
ernment can, and will give in starting
the good road movement.

Some SUBMISSIONS.

If toilet silver is rubbed with a soft
dry cloth every day it will not need
weekly polishing. If your thread knots
when sewing rub it towards the needle.
If rubbed towards the work it will GER
tainly tighten the knot. Celery will
keep crisp a long time If kept where it
is perfectly dark. An easy way to dye
is to take tube paint, dissolve. in gas
oline, the shade desired, then dip goods
and proceed as when washing with
gasoline. If bread that is burned is
shaved with q sharp knife immediate
" after taking it from the oven the
appearance as we'll as the taste Will
be greatly improved. If the drain IN
YOUR sink gets clogged up use the
palm of your right hand for suction
nump. Have water in the sink and
press with rapid succession with the
nalm of the hand until the water runs
,.eely. If you should fail to make a
passage procure a wrench and take
the cap from the bowl under the sink.
Salt mixed with cornstarch Will not
get lumpy and will run freely from the
salt cellar. If you are troubled with
the bread getting dry wrap 1t IN a
cloth of several thicknesses and place
a wet cloth over the whole, being care
ful not to let the bread get wet.

ONE CAUSE FOR SATISFACTION.
Drummer Found Something Good
Even In Railroad Accident.

A state senator of New York says he
was riding in the smoking car on a
little one-traCk road in the northern
part Of the state two weeks ago, and
in the seat in front Of him sat a jew
elry drummer. He was one of those
Wide-awake, never-let-anyone-get-the-
better-of-him style Of men. Presently
the train stopped to take water and
the conductor neglected to send back
a 1lagman. A limited express, running
at the rate Of ten miles an hour, came
along and bumped the rear end of the
first train. The drummer was lifted
from his seat and pitched, head first,
against the scat ahead. His silk hat
was damned clear down over his ears.
He picked himself up and settled back
in his seat No bones had been
broken. Then he pulled off his hat,
drew long breath and, Strengthening
up, said: "Hully gee! Well, they didn't
get by us, anyway"

CoIored Deacon's Prayer Wonder OF
Poetic Imagery.

Between emotionalism and formal.
ism in religion" says a Washington
clergyman, there is a golden mean
a reflection that came to me recently
upon the conclusion of my remarks to
a colored congregation in Richmond.
Il had invited an aged deacon to
offer prayer. oh, Lord prayed he,
glib dis pore brudder de eye OF de
eagle, dat he spy out sin afar on.
Glue his hands to de gospel pillow. Tie
his tongue to de line Of truf. Nail his
yere to de gospel pole. Bow his head
way down between his knees, oh
lord, an fix his knees way down IN
iome lonesome, dark and narrer val
ley, where prayer is much wanted to
be made. 'Noint him wifi de kerosene
