HINTS ON KINDNESS.
Girls Should Show Difference to
Their Elders.
From the Chicago Tribune

ruin the bnicdSo lTiDuUe.
Why not cultivate difference to age?
The kind l mean is not that which re-
quires much effort; neither does it take
any amount of time. 1t IS made up of
little things the doing of which NAV
be prompted by kindness of heart or,
failing that at least by good manners.
With it age is easier for those upon whom
it has come, and youth gets many help
ing hand in the affection and kindness
that is returned.
Girls many times fail in Difference to
the mothers of their girl friends. 1t is
not intentional, merely a natural indif-
ference OF youth that seeks what it
wishes without regard to what stands in
the way. One girl going to the house
of another is not so rude as to omit to
say good morning or good evening"
to the parents. and with that she seems
to think nothing more is required AS
matter of good manner nothing more Is
necessary.
Yet a parent is usually interested in
her daughters friends and what they
do. and would often further a good time
IT she knew about 1T in time. In any
event she likes to know the girls fun and
woes. to keep in touch and to feel that
she is an individual and not one who
exists only to tell where Mary and Sally
are.
Every person, especially mothers. en-
joys being liked. Some disagreeable in
tankerous will say that they don't care
whether others like them or not. but deep
down in their hearts they do care lot
Evidences of it will come when Last ex-
pected. Every mother will tell You quite
frankly that she wants her daughter
friends to like her. Many times the
girls do. but they are in too much OF
hurry to show it. This is both selfish
and unkind. and it hurts badly some
times.
Don't think time is being wasted by
spending a few minutes with her. or
that it doesn't matter what she thinks
of you. 1t matters lot. The affection
of older women is good thing for girls.
and it sometimes brings the truest help
and consolation when they are needed
most.
When you go to see another girl spend
some time in talking with her mother.
Tell her what you are doing and be in
terested in what concerns her. Treat
her as though you really cared about
her. You probably do like her very
much. only you have always taken her
for granted and never thought about
her except as an authority upon Sally.
Think about her as your friend. Don't
be afraid of showing your friendship. In
other words, ''be nice" with her

Washington is a pleasant city to visit
at any time. No proof need be adduced
for that, since the capital of the nation
stands as its own best sponsor. and the
crowds of travellers that flock here are
sufficient evidence that they like to come.
Winter is the time when the city is at
its best, as far as its characteristic life is
convened. and this winter the most in
teresting part OF the season will be its
beginning. when the Sixtieth Congress
convenes in its great home on the hill.
From December to December IA visitors
in great numbers are expected in the
city, many of them brought here just at
that time by the opening of the legislative
halls, and still others attracted by the

Each of the new $40 Treasury notes has
a portrait of Michael Hillegas upon 1t
labeled First Treasurer of the United
States" This recognition Of man
whose personal worth and service to his
country have been too long obscured,"
says a writer. must be credited to de-
scendant the Rev. Michael Lee Minich,
a Lutheran pastor. and to Secretaries
John Hay and Leslie NJ. Shaw. who from
the archives of the State and Treasury
departments got proof of Hilagas' prior
claims to post hitherto credited either

Knee Brooches at London Opera.
from the Outfitter

There is no denying the fact that the
wearers of knee breaches for evening
dress are on the increase. There were
countd no fewer than sixteen in the foyer
at Covent Garden when La Boheme''
was given. Most of these were black silk.
but there was one pair Of black velvet.
Braidng to dress trousers will remain in
favor next season. either two very narrow
braids. or one equally narrow alone.
Soft pleated dress shirts are also grow
ing in popularity.
The popular dress tie of the moment is
one of soft, hairline cambria, settled and
with the ends slightly enlarged, although
not quite to the same extent as the bat
wing shape.

Distribution OF Cars.

The victory of the Pitcairn Coal
CONF sny in its mandamus suit
against the Baltimore & Ohio rail-
road company and several coal COM
panies means much. The decision
by Judge Morris at Baltimore pro-
hibits the Baltimore & Ohio and 9TH
er companies from discrimination in
the distribution of cars in this sec
ton of the State, and, of course, VIII
affect such action in other parts of
West Virginia. Judge Morris issues
an order requiring the railroad com
pany to cease excluding individual
cars from its basis OF computation in
ascertaining the number OF cars to
which each coal mine is entitled as
its percentage of the car supply.
Judge Morris decided that the in
The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1907-06-13

diyidnal cars belonging to the coal
mine operators and run regularly on
the railroad should be counted In as
part Of the general supply Of coal
cars In ascertaining the pro rata dis
tribution Of cars to the different
mines upon shortage OF cars. This
he said win increase the number of
cars distributable to the mines hay-
ing no Individual cars, but not so as
to deprive the owners Of the exclns-
i've use Of their own Individual cars.
The court also held that the per-
centage allowance to the mines which
have ceased shipping coal should
have been Withdrawn except in the
case Of short temporary stoppage
from accidental causes.
The decision means that a coal
company with large number of its
cars must include these in the per-
centage Of distribution, and, as itlis
not probable that a coal company
owns more cars than It has use for,
these are to be treated as II the rail-
road company owned them, in the
matter of distribution, except that
they may be allotted to the coal
company owning them and in case
of shortage such owners must take
them first. In other words, IL there
is a shortage of cars. which will not
by fair distribution go beyond the
number of cars such owners have,
they must use their own cars and the
independents or other companies Civ
en- the cars owned by the railroad.
1t appears on the fact Of the de-
cision that any discrimination made
by excluding individual cars, is pro-
.hibited and that the mandamus will
work greatly to the advantage of
shippers who own no cars, over what
conditions have ;beeh. in this the
Pitcairn company has certainly won
a victory of widespread Importance.

Rats.

Rats do an awful amount OF dam
age in this country. According to
a report just issued by the Depart
ment Of Agriculture they do more
damage than all other noxious ami
mails combined. AS the rat nils no
particular ONCE OF benefit the depart
ment is of the opinion that its ex-
termination is in the nature of a
blessing to the people and the report
goes on to tell the best methods of
getting rid of the pestiferous rodent.
Rats destroy grain, ruin goods in
shops, eat and pollute food, carry
contagious diseases thousands of
miles, cause fires and flooding by
gnawing matches and water pipes,
kin poultry and young pigs, strip
whole regions of song birds and de-
face buildings and other structures.
The female breeds three or four
times year and produces from six
to twelve young at crack.
The rat is not an American product
but is one OF the inheritances the
country has from its early settlers
who brought them over here from
Europe in ships. Before that time
the North American continent ap-
peared to get along very well with
out them and as they are really not
needed 1t will be no harm to kill
them of although it seems that The
rats will multiply faster than they
can be killed. Then, according to
the government suggestion, we have
a battle to wage against Mr.. Rodent
for our own good and we cannot be
too quick in getting about it.
The Government does not recon-
mend strychnine or phosphorus to
kill house rats The former kills
them too quickly. so that odors re-
suit, and the latter causes fires. Bar
ium carbonate is a better resource.
It kills the rats more slowly, so
that they usually leave the house to
seek water. 1t has neither taste nor
smell to warn them, and in the small
quantities used does not harm larger
animals. Oatmeal mixed with water
and one-eighth its bulk of this sub
stance and sprinkled in rat-runs is a
convenient way otSesing it. The
best rat-traps pc those of the
"guillotine" type, made entirely of
metal. Wienerwurst or bacon is a
good bait. Whatever bait is to be
used should be spread for a night or
two before the trap is set. The
cement construction which is becom-
ing so common for all purposes is al
most rat-proof. This is one Of its
strongest recommendations.
All Of the foregoing information
and advice is cheerfully rendered the
readers OF this paper for their bene-
lit and in furtherance of the benevo-
lent recommendations of the Depart.
ment Of Agriculture.
