new enterprise for Chanute, and
one in which every patriotic Cha
mute citizen should feel an interest.
In short, 1t is nothing more o.
less than a proposition to give us a
complete local electric line, con
meeting up our dePots, our two
cement plants, our smelter and the
brick plants with one another and
with the city, by first class electric
line.
The proposition is to build and
eouin this line with Chanute money,
the line to be owned and operated
by Chanute men.
In short, Chanute enterprise by
Chanute and for Chanute.
At first glance the proposition
seems a little beyond the powers OF
Chanute capital and the prohts a
little doubtful. But when we re-
aect that the little city of Girard to
the east of US, with a population OF
1000 people with no manufacturing
institutions to speak of can and has
bu;lt lust such line and now has it
in operation and that the Girard
line, having been runuing but lew
months and those few months
amidst the panicky, depressed
times that now prevail, is already
takiag in enough money to pay all
expenses of operation and pay the
interest on its bonds, it would seem
a small enterprise for Chanute in
comparison with Givard, and that
with our many industries some
what scattered and the many hun
.dreds of men now employed and to
be employed by these enterprises
when in operation, the line would
be a paying proposition from the
start, and that as the town grows and
our enterprises grow and increase
their forces, fine remuneration would
bs the result of the investment.
IF a line can be run across farm
country sparcely settled for many
miles and be made to pay, it looks
like a local line operating within the
city and immediate vicinity where
there are so many men employed
lust a little out, that 1T would De
doubly remunerative.
MIR. L. II. Phillips of Glrard'
who conceived and built the Giraro
line, is the promoter Of this enter
prise, and when we consider MS
.phenominal success in the little
town of Glraed it would seem the

VIM. Booth were accepted by every

sacredness of motherhood in the
Mothers Magazine, of which here i,
a part:
"When motherhood is not re-
garded as sacred, it ceases to be
motherhood in the highest sense.
1t thea becomes mere animal living.
motherhood has divine origin.
Its purpose is not merely the prop
agation Of the human race, but the
education of childhood into a full
knowledge of God and the highest
type of citizenship.
'I have always held this to be
true-that Christian living and the
best citizenship 60 hand in hand.
l do not believe it possible to be u
thoroughly good citizen without
being an equally good Christian.
CHOW important, then, the fune-
tions of the motherl The least of
her burdens is truly in the bearing
of the child. If she be in normal
good health, childbirth to her is not
a burden. 1t should naturally trans
form her system into a higher
physical growth, and develop a new
mentality in her, stronger than she
ever possessed before marriage. In
true motherhood mental and physl
cal growth does not cease after the
child is born, any more than the
rose after blossoming, if properly
cared for, fails of its beauty until
natural death comes.
"Whils the conduct of the mother
before the birth of the child must
have considerable influence upon its
future, it is her relation with the
child after birth that really de-

SCOTCH RAILWAY EMPLOYEES.
Settlement of Labor Disputes by an
Arbitration Board.

The following information con-
corning a scheme of Cancellation and
arbitration between the representa-
tives of labor and the Scotch railway
companies for the settlement of
questions relating to rates of wages
and hours of labor is furnished by
Consul Maxwell Blake of Dunferm-
line:
ious grades of employees into sec
tons, each section to choose by cleo
tion one or more representatives for
each district, and these will compose
the employees sectional board to
meet the representatives of the COM
pany. Under the scheme there will
also be formed Cancellation boards
for each company, to deal with ques-
tons of wages and hours of labor
which can not be mutually settled
through the usual channels.
In the event Of the two boards in

shall be final and binding on all par

Char Smoke.

The stale smell of cigar smoke is
peculiarly unpleasant and peculiarly
difficult to get rid Of. 1t clings to the
curtains and to most Of the articles of
furniture which present any sort Of an
absorbent surface. 1t is not so to the
same extent with cigarettes or with
pipes. In the case even Of a single

fact that a cigar produces pungent

than cigarette or pipe. With the

THE FIRST AMERICAN GLASS.

Haven, Conn, in the year 1883. One
would suppose blythe language he
uses, says the Crockery and Glass
Journal, that he considers it a new
and quite extraordinary affair. 1t was
nine years previous to this, and dur
ing the very war whose issue first
enabled the country to commence it's
own manufacturing, that Robert
Hewes of Boston began to carry out
the project which he had long con-
ceived, but had hitherto found inn
practicable, if not impossible, under
English rule-that of making glass
in America. In 1880 Mr. Hewes Sc
lected site for his factory secure
