Street Railway Fares Abroad.

In the cities of Great Britain the
population of which is 100000 or
more the average, rate of fare for
street railway travel is IL cents a
passenger mile. In the cities Of Con-
tinental Europe the average rate OF
fare paid for urban transportation is
one cent a passenger mile.
On the overhead and underground
railway in the city of Berlin, Ger
many, the average rate of fare paid
is 1.25 cents a passenger mile. 1t is
quite apparent that the people of Eu-
rope-in spite Of the general impress
sion here to the contrary-a paying
higher price for poorer service
than are the people of the United
States. Railway and Engineering

Keens Snoon in Place.

When the number of kitchen uten-
sils and helps invented is compared
with the number of inventions in
other lines, the percentage of the
former is nothing short of remark
able. It will not be long before the
cook will be eliminated entirely and
the dinner will be cooked by series
Of wiress weights and pulleys run by
the kitchen clock.
One Of the latest devices to help
the cook is the spoon rest, designed
by a New York woman. This con-

to form vertically arranged hooks,
which fasten over the side of pot.

NEWSPAPERS IN THE TROPICS.
One Mans Way Of Getting a Fresh
Paper From Home Each Morning.

FAper from Home Eacn morning.
Down in the tropics we don't get
the newspapers from home every
day." said the man with the tanned
face, 'and when we do get them it
isn't a matter of skimming through
them in hurry, as a man would do
up here. A newspaper with real
news from the United States is some
thing to treasure up
When the steamer comes in that
brings my weeks accumulation Of
papers from home just skim across
the first pages to see what has hap
pened Of Importance. Just case OF
looking at the headlines for me. Then
I take the papers and put them in
order OF their dates.
Each morning when I sit down to
breakfast I take one paper. I read
that carefully through from the first
page to the last. If I can't get
through with it before noon ] don't
hurry, but make 1t do for the late
evening, too. The next day / take up
the next date, and so on. We get
about one mail week, so just about
get through with one batch when the
next is due"
His hearer, who had been in the
tropics himself, was able to testify
to the thoroughness with which the
exiles read the newspapers.
You fellows beat me-" he said.
IT know whenever get down to one
Of the stations always find folks
who can ask me more questions about
the details of articles in the newspa-
pers that l hardly read at home than
you would think possible.
ut gives a man pretty strong
sense of how quiet the life must be
in some of those places. / should
think some of the newspapers would
be worn out the way the men go over
every bit of news which is almost for
gotten matter by the time it gets to
them"
1T isn't the men alone" said the
ex-Consul, who want to see the pa
pers. It would amuse some folks to
see the women studying up the au-
tumn and winter styles and discuss
ing the pictures of some fur piece or
heavy coat, with thermometer up
in the nineties and not showing any
particular signs of falling. OF course,
when it comes to the summer things
they naturally want to know, because
they have a chance to make use of
those fashion hints; but the idea of
a fur coat a few degrees north of the
equator is a good joke. New York

Prosperity and Arrests,

'Most business men judge prosper
ity by the amount Of business that is
done, and 1T is not different with the
police" remarked house sergeant
the other night. when prosperity
returns it is made apparent by the
number of prisoners we have. The
more business that is done, especially
in the liquor line, the more prisoners
we are compelled to take care Of.
AS soon as the coming of prosperity
was heralded by the newspapers many
of the topers in the district did not
wait for its arrival, but proceeded to
celebrate it's expected return, and
they are now holding down their old
places in the cells The faces are not
new; they are the ones that have
been missing for two years, and now
that the tariff has been revised and
the bill signed by the President we
expect to see more Of them and Of
ten. "-P Philadelphia Record.

SAYS WOOD PULP

Canadian Authority Declares

Supply in Ten Years.

Canadian Au1H0rtIy 6SCiaS~
United states viii Exhaust Her
Supply in Ten Years.
Within ten years the United States
will have exhausted her supply Of tim
Der available for pulp from which to
manufacture paper, and in that ex-
tremity her closest point of relief will
be Canada, which now stands ready
to supply the world for all time to
come, !" said Arther e. Millington, OF
Espanola, Canada, general manager
Of the Spanish River Pulp and Paper
Company, in Denver recently. Mr..
Millington's firm has the largest
ground wood mill in the world.
AT present all our manufactured
products come to the United States"
continued Mr.. Wilmington, "but this
will change if President Taft enforces
the new tariff regulation passed by
Congress. The present duty on our
paper sent into the United States is
~$167 ton, and to this the revised
tariff bill adds twenty-five per cent.
ad valorem, which means an addition
al SIS, making the entire duty $6.67.
The result would be to drive us out
Of this territory, and we would have
to market our product in England,
France, Japan, Australia and other
distant places.
1.-THE United States will exhaust its
spruce supply for pulp in about ten
years, figuring at the present rate Of
consumption. There is considerable
hemlock in addition to this, but it
will only answer for certain grades
of paper.
When the present pulp supply is
gone there is nothing so far discov-
cred which will do for a substitute,
so Canada naturally seems to be the
place to which the United States will
look for her paper. Experiments with
every supposed substitute for pulp
have been failures. Yet in the face
Of these facts the United States in
creases the tariff on paper and pre-
vents Canada from entering the field
as competitor"

THE ADVERTISING RULE.
1t Works Both ways.

Advertising has proved itself the
greatest factor in modern American
business-both for the buyer and sell
er. 1t pays the consumer to read his
ad.-and more. The advertising rule
must work both ways it must pay
the reader or he won't pay the adver-
tiser. That's why big advertising
can't make poor goods succeed. That's
why the best goods are advertised
most. That's why American readers
read ads and American manufacture
ers spend so much money and thought
on advertising. And that's one big
reason for American supremacy.
There's moral here for every Ameri-
can. GAINESVILLE (O.) Record.

Two Chicago men got their heads
together and decided to combine the
two and get patent on it, so now
we have the combined suit case and
valise, which will hold as much as a
small trunk and can be carried about
with ease. The illustration shows
how the two are combined. Neces-
sarily the suit case used is one of the
smaller sizes, as otherwise the con-
trivance would be so bulky that it
would discount its convenience in
other directions. With this combi-
nation a man may feel sure that his
suits and shirts are lying fiat and not
creasing and at the same time he will
have all the smaller articles he needs
ready to hand in the valise on top

HER STORY.

IA winBome herb contented just 10 grow
Grew brave and true within wilderness
Day fell upon her like soft caress;
She saw the dawn and twilight come and 70,
And star-set night. Life was all good, and 30
She yielded fragrance as pure souls con-
fess
In wordless prayer the hearts deep ten

When 10! a mower came that way to NOW.
For her delight recurrent flashed the blade,
For her IN measured music dropt the
grass;
"Shal have meat and fail to render
grace?n
She said and fell not only unafraid.
But full Of Joy that so her life could pass,
And now her soul Of sweetness fills the
place.

out from the oIner side OF the pot. In
cooking some dishes it is necessary to
have a spoon always handy to stir the
contents. Heretofore this spoon has
shown an annoying habit of falling in
or out of the pot at critical moments,
but with the rest just described the
handle can be placed in the loop and
the whole kept in place by the lid of
the pot, or even without it.-Boston
