The Germans, who believe in thor
oughness, are about to put in opera
ton in Berlin rule that no man shall
be permitted to drive on the streets Of
that city without he has first demon
strated his fitness to do So It is doubt
full whether the innovation will result
in any very marked diminution of &C.
cidents. Observation teaches that it is
not incompetent drivers who are re-
sponsible for the mischief done in big
cities. Usually carelessness is at the
bottom Of the trouble, and the man
who knows how to drive is more apt
to be negligent when handling the
reins than the fellow who is new at
the business.

The Two Cent Rate In Practice.

Inc Two cent Rate In Practice.
It is probably fortunate that there is
difference in opinion as to the advis-
ability Of making a fiat two cent rate
of fare on all the passenger railroads
Of the country. Local conditions vary
widely, according to density Of popula-
ton, closeness of competition in the
territory and other factors in opera
ton. A rate which is profitable and
even increases business by it's cheap
ness in populous region may be un-
fair and unbusinesslike in a district
less favored
It is being argued that the two cent
rate long in existence on the New York
Central road has built up thriving
cities along the line. But this road al
ways had very profitable carrying
business between the lakes and sea.
board to even up its low passenger
rates. What is wanted is a rate to en-
able the operating companies to live
and increase their facilities for serving
the public. Rate regulation should be
dealt with after due investigation Of
the needs and conditions in any par
ticular stretch Of country involved.

Our Dirty Ancestors.

The daily morning bath was by nc
means popular with our ancestors in
the good old days, for soap is really
quite new factor in the worlds life
Most CT our ancestors were very dirty
and dissembled the fact by the use OF
sitting perfumes. Washing ones hands
which was only done by the very best
people, meant dipping the fingers In
rosewater and drying them on a nap
kin. Even the Romans Of the time OF
the "decline," who were probably the
cleanest as community, simply bath
ed in water and rubbed themselves
with oil. 1t sounds nasty to us, but
then, so does, for example, Chinese
music, which millions of orientals
think delightful.-London Answers.
