Owe RAILWAY PLAN.

One of the great trans-continental
railroads is planning to plant its
right of way from the Missouri
river to the Pacific with alfalfa. A.
each edge of the right of way also
will be planted a row of pine trees
alternating with Gins, there being .
tree at intervals of every two rods.
AS the alfalfa becomes green early
in the spring and remains so unit
late in the fall, the ornamental eff
feet should be pleasing. Further.
more, it is claimed that the gras:
and trees will furnish, in certain 10.
calities, a protection against snow.

WHY @YoURs SINCERELY"
origin Of the Customary Finish Of
Letter Goes Back Il Roman
Times.

Have you ever reflected, when you
finish up your letter "Yours sincere
ly, John Smith," why you do so, or
whence came the origin of this epis-
tolary method of subscribing to your
state of mind in regard to any par
ticular correspondent? Well, if you
subscribed yourself "Yours without
wax, John Smith," it would amount
to the anne thing. Here's how:
When the Roman jurymen re-
turned their verdicts they usually
did so on a wax tablet. In cases,
however, where the verdict was
overwhelmingly in favor of a per-
son on trial for any offense they
were allowed to give their verdict
"Sine %cera," that is to say, without
wax, Dr. without going to the for
mality of inscribing their verdict on
the wax tablet (cera). So, when
you subscribe yourself "Yours sim
cerely" to a person you mean
when you are serious, of course
hat your regard for him is above
board. "Yours faithfully" is the
business style; "Yours truly" the
usual form !; and yours, etc." the
most objectionable of epistolary
atrocities, according to the unwrit-
ten code.
Even a cabinet minister, when
writing to you in the official style,
will subscribe himself "Your obedi-
emit, humble servant" A Frenchman
will tell you that che remains with
especial sentiments of the highest
consideration" your Jules lie Mou.
ton. A Chinaman will say, Care
well, most favored of heaven. May
the gods preserve your honorable
teeth."-Tit-Bits.

MORE OR LESS RIGHT.

In a recent address to medical stu.
dents, Senator Depew said that "the
party with the greatest majority 10
right than the minority party"
That sounds almost as incontestable
as an axiom in geometry. The corol.
larry Is that the minority party is more
wrong than the party with the great.
est majority. So, when we sit up
election nights to see which party
succeeded in buying the most votes,
we discover by that wrong what is
right. Thus, party lines are coin
cident with ethical distinctions. All
the most.right people are in the party
with the greatest majority. The not
so-right people are in the party with
the greatest minority. The very,
wrong people are in the smaller par.
ties. This. az noted above, is axio-
matte.
But these distinctions are subject to
change without notice. For instance
prior to the election of 1892 Senator
Depew was more-right. After Cleve
land was elected, he was not-so-right
Then he became more-right again.

TO TAKE MExIco's CENSUS
President Disz VIII BE One OF the
catherers Of
Statistics.

The central committee on census
work appointed by the local au-
thorities to draw plans for the TAX
ing of the census in the federal dis
trict, says the Mexican Herald, has
completed arrangements for making
an accurate estimate of the inhab-
itants of the capital and outlying
towns and has decided to appoint
prominent persons in every town to
take down the names of residents
personally, to preclude the posi-
bility of any names being left off the
lists.
In former years it has been the
experience of census takers that a
large majority Of the natives refused
to give the names of all the members
of their household, for fear that they
might be recruited in the army. The
government has decided to appoint
prominent persons as census takers,
in order hat the actual number Of
inhabitants of the republic may be
secured within a e Sc margin of &C
curacy.
President Diaz will personally
take the census Of the block on the
north side of Gale de Cadena, where
he lives; members of the cabinet
will perform a similar duty in their
respective neighborhoods; the arch
bishop of Mexico will take the census
of population in his own quarters
and an effort will be made to have
all prominent citizens accept the
appointments for their neighbor-
hoods generally in order that conf
dence may be inspired among the
natives and the figures may be al
accurate as possible.
But in interior Mexico an uphill
task is in store for the authorities,
as the majority is bent upon thwart.

SING SING PRISON NO MORE.

Sing Sing prison is to be moved
across the Hudson river 15 or 20
miles northward, just eight miles
south of West Point, where a large
tract of land has been purchased and
a gang of several hundred convicts
has been working for two years. The
present prison was also built by con-
victs in 1926, with material found
on the grounds, but, although it has
been enlarged every few years, and
is now one of the largest peniten-
tiaries in the world, it is not large

Compared with this number, in 1900
there were 286 cities and towns In
