AN EVENING MEDITATION.

The fleeting hours of mortal days are few;
'Tis written somewhere that the longest
Is but a span The tide sweeps up anew.
our footprints vanish, every trace OF
strife
That once we lived and moved and played
Somewhere our ashes lie, but the regrets
Are few. A lapse Of years will heal the
That once was broken. Memory seems to
Before Times sickle brightest flowers pale
ALI, say rot so! For yet that fair sweet
or love has never broken in upon
The heart that speaks these words, the
words that seem
To play petty part nor wear the crown
Wherewith Love crowns. But once the head
And the lips taste that sweetest Of all
That mortal lips can taste, then must the
And naughty spirit all its wiles employ
To break the bond wherewith Love binds
Altho' the efforts vain there's no regret
"The mastery is to the strong" It's said;
Why should we strive gainst that which
Are sure must conquer? Should we ask the
who sleep beside the sullen tideless sea
OF Death, methinks that they would
answer u.s.
"Ans we'll We strove gainst Death and
yet we stroVe
In vain, and now we find alfs we'll So
must
The years of life be as the fates approve
And love is Fate: a kind sweet fate to all
who read her message right and heed her
call.
Yet there are those who in their haste to
live.
Forget that love is life and life IS love;
Their god is self and to that god they give
Their shriveled soul, and after death they
Alone through all the endless void of night
No kindred soul have they to share the
deep
Dark depths that lie beyond the grave;
their might
Is gone one strain their endless moan
ings keep:
Had we again but one brief hour TO live
In that one hour we would learn 10 love-
So may | live that when all else is gone,
And when the final hour has come 10
These eyes on earth l then may see the
OF brightest days. my deathless spirit
Only the dross. and on that farer shore,
Beyond the grave where all things per-
feet are,
Ny soul with those love may dwell once
more
In peace, sublime, and JOY without a care;
And on the earth, where | in life did move,
1t may be said, This one knew now TO
love"

1NTERLocKINe INDUSTRY.

What seems to be a most apt phrase
to describe our complicated modern
business conditions Is contained in a
reference made by Prof. T. N. Carver
of Harvard university in a magazine
contribution to "our interlocking in
dustrial system" Just as we have in
terlocking signal and switching ap-
paratus on the up-to-date railroad, so
every phase of manufacturing, trade
and commerce that keeps the wheels
of industry revolving is more or less
interlocking with one another.
AS Prof. Carver points out, the ex-
acting conditions of modern machine
production constitute one of the pen
alties of civilization belonging to all
classes of society. In more primitive
times wage-workers were, in one
sense, more Independent than they
can possibly be in these days. 1t is
no longer possible for each to choose
his own time for working and resting
because he must fit his work in with
that of other members of a group and
adapt himself to the speed set for all
of them. The same is true, however,
of the banker. the merchant and the
manufacturer, who must keep definite
office hours, travel when trains run
rather than when they choose, take
their meals when others do and in a
thousand different ways conform to
the average convenience of society.
But the different groups of employ
ers and employees are likewise inter-
locking with other groups. The shut
ting down of the coal mines may close
all the factories dependent on them
for fuel. The burning of planning
ture factory. The failure of a bank
may embarrass financially not only
hundreds of its deDositors, but many
others at remote distances to whom
they in turn owe money. The most
striking example of the delicate ad-
justment of our interlocking industry
is, of course, to be found in the effects
of the recent panic which. although
most acute at the point of greatest
concentration of speculative wealth
permeated to every corner of the busi-
ness fabric without stopping even al
crossing oceans.
What is worthy of emphasis is that
our industrial system is interlocking
for all time to come and that future
progress will only knit it closer to.
gether with more highly developed
mechanism that will require greater
precautionary measures to keep every
thing running smoothly. The inter
locking parts are being multiplied day
by day and year by year, and continued
social equilibrium and material pros
perity must depend on more complete
understanding of their workings

THE VALUE OF THE BIRDS.

With the approach of spring, the De-
partment of Agriculture is making
commendable effort to impress upon
the people the Importance of preserv-
ing certain species of birds that have
proven themselves powerful allies of
the farmer against crop-destroying
pests. Impetus has been lent to the
movement by the reports from Louis
iana-the home of Audubon-to the
effect that more than 100000 robins
have been killed by hunters for food
in that state during the winter. An
expert of the biological survey, now
working in Louisiana. says that the
government is in position to prove that
the eastward march of the boil weevil.
the destroyer of the cotton crop, has
been greatly facilitated by the reckless
killing of robins.
The robin, it is pleasing to note, is
not recognized in the north as food
bird, but enjoys an immunity from
slaughter that is extended to bluebirds,
meadow larks, yellow hammers and
some others which are protected the
year round as wild birds, though not
as game. In Louisiana. the winter
home of the robins, these pest-destroy-
ing birds are the prey of hunters all
the year round because the authorities
of that state have failed to recognize
the fact that 100000 robins are a
military unit of great fighting force
able to combat and overcome a vast
horde of insect enemies
1t is to prevent such costly mistakes
as that made by the people of Louis
lana that the Department of AgricuI
ture is disseminating information con.
cerning the value of birds as foes tC
farm pests. It's experts have discovered
that certain birds devour the Dol
weevil. while others check the ravagel
of the potato bug, the chinch bug anC
other destroyers of growing crops
Even the Destiferous little Englisl
sparrow saves the farmers at leas
$35, 100000 a year by destroying tn,
seeds of weeds. 1t has been proven
by experiments that the quail of Vir
ginia consume III tons of insects ant
about 5000 tons of weed seeds an
nually. Every experiment conductet
by the biological survey adds to tn
volume of proof that the bird is tn
farmers best friend.
1t is clear that united effort in som
form. by federal or uniform state legis
lation. is essential to prevent the wan
ton destruction of birds. thus leaVin

A PAGEANT OF PEACE,

Even the most enthusiastic jingoists
of two continents have been COM
PEELED, with perhaps some reluctance,
to join in the general approval of the
wisdom of President Roosevelt's course
in sending the American fleet of bat
tleships on voyage around the world.
Some critics still seem to dlsapprove
of the idea of sending the fleet to
Japan and act as if they were appre-
hensive of evil results, but the world
wide welcome extended or assured to
the officers and men of the fleet is
sufficient evidence that the expedition
instead of being construed as a menace
to other nations, as was so freely pre-
dicted before the sailing, has served
to put final quietus on the suspicious
and misgivings about the cruise.
Following the enthusiastic welcom-
ling of the fleet at the principal ports
of all the South American countries,
Australia has invited a visit from the
squadron. Japan and China have
asked for the privilege of entertaining
the fleet and practically all the Euro
pean powers have displayed a desire
to approve what the United States is
doing, particularly with respect to the
progress of its fleet.
Undoubtedly the most significant in
vitation comes from Japan and it is
noted thai it is offered in no unmis-
taxable terms. In Ambassador Taxa.

MORE UNION PACIFIC BONDS.

BY order Of the board of directors,
a meeting OF the stockholders of the
Union Tacific Is to be held in a few
weeks to authorize another issue Of
Union Pacific bonds in a sum ranging
from S4O.OOO,0OO to $50, 900, Sc
cured by mortgage on the unmort-
gagged lines controlled by the company.
According to the report of the direc-
tors meeting, the purpose of the
proposed bond issue was not made
public" but the presumption is that
it is to cover the comDany's financial
needs for the present and immediate
future.
Another Union Pacific bond issue
becomes of Importance to the general
public and particularly to the inhabi-
tants of the territory served by that
railroad, according to the purposes to
which the proceeds are to be devoted.
Mortgagng the road means Just so
much more debt for the system to
carry and every additional fixed charge
furnishes another excuse to maintain
rates and to refuse concessions to ship
pers and employees. The interest
charge must be paid out of the reve-
nues of the road and If the mortgage
is ever to be lifted it must be lifted
by the people who pay the freight.
If the money raised by the sale of
the bonds is to be used for better
ments and extensions--if it is to be
put into new branches, Strengthening
curves, completing the double track,
supplying additional equipment, erect
| ing new stations, car shops or head
quarters buildingsA-it may make the
road more profitable and help carry
It's own load. But if the money is to
| be used, as was the last bond issue
for speculating purposes or to get con-
troll of competing lines, the public has
right to protest. There is no call
! for another mortgage on the Union
Pacific to buy more stock in the Illinois
Central, the Baltimore & Ohio or the
New York Central On the contrary
the Union Pacific could probably raise
all the money it needs without issuing
any more bonds by selling off the
stock in these other roads which it now
holds in its treasury and which have
been acquired outside OF the propel
functions of this great railroad.
The repeated mortgaging of tn,
Union Pacific as the basis of bonds TO
an undisclosed purpose furnishes tn,
strongest possible argument for th
Legislation, already recommended b.
President Roosevelt. by which new
securities issued by interstate com
merce corporations must be first au
thorized by some federal authorit
charged with thorough investigation
into the object and the need.

TEACHING WOMEN TO SHOP.

The debate as what is the most USE
less thing in the world may as we'll
be brought to a close and the decision
awarded to that Chicago university
which has decided to establish a chair
of good taste and good manners, the
chief function of which will be to teach
women how to dress with propriety
and shop with economy of time and
money. The carrying of Goals to New
castle and the painting of the lily are
works of urgent necessity compared
with this project, even if it has been
enthusiastically endorsed by several
womens clubs.
The idea that women need to be in
structed as to their clothes is prepos-
ferrous on the face of It.. Little Mary,
in the proud and happy possession of
her first doll, furnishes ample demon
stration of the fact that taste for dress
among women is inherited, natural and
not acquired. Little Mary knows what
she wants for the dolls adornment and
no attempt to shunt off incopgruous
colors will so with her. She knows
what she wants and as she grows older
she is convinced of her own infallibility
and any attempt to teach her differ
emily is simply wasting time and
breath. Much of her wakinE hours
and many of her dreams are devoted
to the subject of becoming clothes and
she is not to be instructed in her
choice by anyone.
The plans of the new school of in
struction in the art of shopping are
quite as useless as those referring tC
taste in dress. 1t is all well enough
perhaps, to advise women to not go tC
the stores without fixed program o.
