Waterways the True Remedy.

The statistics gathered by the Rail way Age go to show that the rail roads are not exerting themselves to overcome the chronic car troubles oi the country, for they ordered but 564. locomotives in 1906, as against 6265 or dered in 1905. Of freight cars they ordered built last year S10,S05, but in the previous year they ordered 341. .31E freight cars.
 It will thus be seen that the rail roads are unwilling to bring their mo five rDwer or their car equipment uI fn ths present demands of the busi-

"A number of business and professional men of. Birmingham will go to Mont gomery tomorrow and next day to attend the first session of the legislature" said a local attorney yesterday.
 "The session of the legislature that will open Thursday at noon will possi- bly, be the most important since the war and will be watched with much in- terest by all classes of people in the state Several questions of a revolutionary nature will come up for consideration and though 1t seemed for a while that the railroad rate reform movement would be the pivotal idea of the next session there are a number of important issues that are clamoring for the honors.'

RoLLER-skATINo COUGHS.

From the Philadelphia Record.
 A peculiar hacking. dry cough is no-, epidemic among the young people. Toe tors have puzzled over the singular prevalence of this malady and wondered what caused it. It seemed to be the re- suit of impure or dust-laden air All thpse afflicted, however, state that they are outdoor people and athletic in their tastes. It suddenly occurred to a young physician the other night that the cough is the result of roller skating, now the rage. On the floors of the rinks a great deal of dust gathers, and as the skaters roll around it arises, fills the atmosphere and is inhaled by the skaters.

the rarest title that can be
 conferred by the King of Eng land.
 About onesthird of the Knights at the present time are reigning kings or em- porers, the Shah of Persia, the Emperor of Japan. the Kaiser. and the King of Spain being among other members of the Most Noble Order"
 It was founded far back in Edward ITS reign, the date being ascribed to New Year Day, 1S44 but authorities differ. The legend, which even the romantic Frolssart contradicts, runs to this pur- pose. certain Countess of Salisbury having lost her garter at a ball, His Maj esty Edward III picked it up and restored it. When the courtiers failed to hide their smiles the King reproved them with the words, 'Honi soft qui nal pense," which is still the motto of the order That is the legend. The words are also ascribed in the motto which Edward III selected for his second French campaign.
 But it is said that the Garter existed still earlier. though not under royal de- cree. King Richard I having select band of Knights at Acre who wore leathern band round the left leg.
 The famous garter itself is band of blue velvet an inch broad, heavily en- crusted with gold, and bearing the motto, "Honi soft qui mal pense," In letters Of solid gold. Charles I wore garter with blazing array of 4l2 diamonds and these he did not shrink from wearing on the scaffold.
 At Windsor Castle, after the new Knight has been elected by the chapter of the order. a ceremony which is possi- bly, allowed to lapse. the two junior Knights proceed to the door of the chap ter room and preceded by the Garter 1.i,,s. oe orr,,s ,.rln cn ,.rins inc insienia on

Street Car Etiquette.

'I was very much surprised Saturday night to see an officer on the police force remain seated in a crowded street car and compel two ladies to go into the ne- gro section of the car to get a seat" said a passenger on the car.
 "There were probably twenty men oc- cupying seats in the car when the ladies entered it down town, and with one ex- ception not a man rose to offer his seat. I was rather surprised at them, and es- pecally at the policeman in uniform, who is riding dead head, if I am not mis- taken"

PASSING OF GOLDEN GIRL

Not a goddess in all the mythology or Greece or Rome but what was blonde. Pallas the prude was so pronounced blonde that when Phidias made her CO., lossal statue for Athens the amount of gold needed for her hair turned the genius into a grafter. Juno, it is true was "ox-eyed." But by the methods of the higher criticism it is easy to see that that was merely a primitive simplified spelling of "peroxide.
 The Frenchman who said that quar- ter of an inch variance in the shape of Cleopatria's nose would have changed the face of the world sacrificed truth to an epigram. It was the rarity of fair-haired Egyptian that made Romes history. And earlier still there was the blonde who more than twice six cen lures later drew from Marlowe the pret- tiest compliment ever paid to the golden girl'' when he wrote And all is dross that is not Helen.p
 So, too, the Christian times. Save Mu- rillo, none of the old painters ever pie tured Madonna with black hair. Few were shown with yellow tresses. But chestnut or auburn, all were blonde. whether painted beside the canals of Venice or the dikes of Holland
 More modern instances might be null tplied. The story is always the same. The fairness of Ena of Battenberg gives the young Queen of Spain her popular ity There of course, the explanation is that fair skin means freedom from Moor ish taint and so the Ssang azur' of the xu,.ict 1rianr shouiu0 through But Rome knew no Moors when light wigs were the mark of fashion POGO years ago.
 It was "the quest of the golden girl' then as now that busied the majoity ofJ men. If it were not so now, the chem7 ists would have a different story to teia of their sales of dyes. The dark worlR of six hundred years hence has our sym1 parthy.
