was on most commodities a dineren-
tia1 higher than rates from correspond
ing territory north OF the Ohio river.
The transcontinental lines always
have insisted that rates to and from
points south Of the Ohio river should
be on the same basis as points north
of the Ohio river. But the southeast
ern lines contend that the territory
south of the river, not being devel-
Oped to the same extent as the terri
tory north of the river, a higher basis
of rates should apply to and from
their territory.
The recent advance in rates to and
from eastern defined territory now
brings up the question whether or not
a corresponding increase should be
made to and from territory south OF
the Ohio river. This will no doubt
be combated by the transcontinental
lines, which will take the position that
the rates TO. and from this territory
are sufficiently high. The southeast
ern lines, however, have given an in
timation that they will insist upon an
advance TO correspond with the ad-
vance recently made in the interests
of the transcOntinental lines. which

kinq's Free and Easy Manners.

King Frederick and Queen Louise
are both very much loved in Denmark,
although at times the king, it is
to win popularity.
At the beginning of his reign he
used to send for people whom he saw
from the castle windows passing
through the castle yard to come and
have a chat with him. Then, in the
evening he would take a stroll with
the princesses to a crowded place near
his summer residence, called the
Danish Trouville," which is frequent
ed mostly by shop people, and speak tc
everybody at random. At the castle
all sorts and conditions of men are re
ceived.

BECOME USED TO EARTHQUAKES.
DweIIers in the Tropics Pay Little
Heed to the Shocks.

To the average resident of the tenn
perate zones an earthquake is rare
and terrible event, creating more con
sternation than any other visitation of
nature. In the tropics, however, par
ticularly in Central America, it is
wonderful how easy the residents be-
come accustomed to these shocks,
which do not come, however, wholly
without warning.
You are sitting on a piazza, of a hot
afternoon, chatting with your friends,
when suddenly the sky seems to grow
hazy, the crows stop cawing and the
buzzards quit fighting in the street.
you may not know what is the matter.
you cannot help feeling uneasy.
The old natives say: I'VE are 60
ing to have a little shake and then
the house begins to rock, the tumblers
fall of the table, you feel deadly sick
at the stomach, and the thing is all
over. The sky clears, the crows begin
their noisy screams, and the buzZards
resume their quarrel over the street
offal.
There is something inexpressibly
terrifying, however about the trem-
bling of the earth. The slightest os-
cillation will awaken the population
of the whole town, but unless some
considerable damage is done, every
body goes TO sleep again as a matter
of course.

PLANT DEFlEs SKILL OF MAN.
All Efforts to Cultivate Edelwess Arti-
ficiaIIy Have Failed.

The edelweiss farmers are busy
now, said Mr. Stump, the interlaken
librarian. In all the highlands of
the Bernese Overland boy farmers are
growing edelWeiss in the vain hope Of
getting rich. They won't, though" he
continued. You can't farm edel-
weiss as you can wheat. The first
year it grows beautifully, the second
years the flowers lack the woolly fuzz
that is the feature of the edelweiss,
and the third year there are no flowers
at all, nothing but leaves. The wild
edelMeiss grows high up in the Alps
in dangerous places. You risk your
life to pluck it, and you can sell the
flowers for 20 cents apiece. Now, if
you had a 1O0acre edelweiss farm, all
white with blooms, yielding every year
10000 edelweiss at 90 cents each to
the acre-well, that would be $4,000,
600 year, wouldn't it?
I'VE Swiss are on the make-and if
edelweiss farms We're profitable there
would be many a one hidden away in
the remote valleys. But what good
is edelweiss without the woolly fuzz?
Our boys grow it, you can buy it from
them cheap, but the great edelweiss
farms started in the last generation
by our leading capitalists all lie bar
rem and deserted now
