 Joy Eternal.

l saw the moon in the day time, While the sun was shining bright, But il looked so pale and faded l turned away from the sight. But when the sun had departed, And the darkness settled down, l saw the moon as an Empress, Worthy of her name and crown. Thus, in iifeis joy and sunshine, We do not so feel the worth Of Ghrist's own peace and comfort As when we leave this earth. HTis when deaths fearful darkness Enshronds the trembling soul, That the golden light of Heaven Ger us in waves shall roll.

This seem ed to displease the catcher. and he remarked in no gentle tones about the pitchers general ability and the short stghtedness of ( captain who would have such . man on his nine. This gave pleasure to the opposing nine. and they showed t by appropriately xuying remarks and were taken to task by the nine men of the other side.

BUY BULK GOODS
The Honest Package Almost
 An Unheard of Thing.
dndianapolis News.)

The fancy package which contains foodstuff. supposed to be better than that sold in bulk. is unquestionably having a large and growing sale. Firms that use it advance persuasive arguments in it's favor. It is packed by machinery without the touch of human hands: it prevents the ac- cun1ulation of dust. dirt and germs on it's contents; it excludes moisture and prevents deterioration; it is neat. con- rvenient and sanitary-and there is much truth in each and all of these arguments.
 The fancy package costs somewhat more. and so in a small way makes for the increased cost Of living. But in accepting this package it will be found in many cases that we accept considerably less than we pay for. For instance. the package may be supposed to contain two pounds when in reality, in one particular case, it contains only one pound seven ounces, or a shortage of over 25 per cent. The package originally contained two pounds. but with increased popularity of it's contents it has gradually shrunk to it's present size. The mak- CTS of this product recently increased the dividend paid on it's common stock, from 6 to 8 per cent. and in addition to this there is an "extra' dividend of 2 per cent. that is regu- larly paid No doubts good deal of this large prosperity is due to the fact that the company is now getting the same price for one pound and seven ounces that it formerly g& for two pounds.

MODERN RAILROAD METHODS CALL FOR
 MONSTER TRAINS Loaded Cars May Be Shift
 ed as Cheaply As "Empties'' Mile Long Is Not Unusual for Coal Trains of the Late H. H. Rogers Vir- ginian Railway.

(Chas. F. Speare in Review of Reviews)
 It costs no more to move a loaded car than an empty one. The addi- tional friction of the former is not enough to coun, against it when fuel consumption is considered. By the same reckoning car loaded to three quarters of it's capacity carries a profit beyond the first consideration loaded. Extending this to an entire train it costs no more to move 50 cars than 30, or 70 than 30, pro- vided the engine power, or, speaking technically, "tractive effort" is great enough. This is the science of trans portation that James J. Hill developed and has carried to such an extreme that he is said to have advised sta- ton agent not to ship corpse until he got full carload. B. H. Harri- man, in his short career, developed it in even more intense form, and pro- Mississippi River, are now taking 1t up as their greatest relief and the quickest means to an end in satisfac- tory profit.
 AS result of these methods we see today the assembling of trains of enormous length and weight combining the loads of several trains of days SO1iS Oy anu 5CdIS WIIOSC dNCl 06C ctIi- nual lead is increasing from to 10 per cent. It is obvious that concen- tration of this sort spells economy in -44.-o4, III IueA, and in dIspatching. It reduces the number of accidents. Un- der the old practice, for example, a mixed train of 20 coal cars and 10 box cars, approximately HOO tons revenue weight, started out from a terminal with one engine. The gross freight revenue at 1 cent a ton a mile would be $1 100 for every 100 miles run, as- suming that the cars were all loaded.
 Take a modern Illustration: A train of 50 cars, Or 2,400 to 3,0000 tons, per- mitted by the increase of locomotive power which costs no more for the 100- mile run than the smaller engine, but which creates from $2,500 to $3.000 in revenues Here we have the results after which the transportation off cials of railroads are aiming. The Vir- ginian Railway, to build which the late H. H. Rogers pledged his great fortune and whose construction changed the entire physical aspect of parts of the state where it was put down, is moving train loads of coal a mile long, consist ing Of as many as 125 cars of 50 tons capacity. Its ponderous engines can move these trains from the mines to tidewater with no effort, and each train load of this exceptional sort pro- duces a gross revenue between $7,000 and $S,000. This is done under test, however, and is not the ordinary prac- tice.
