though this Is a decrease of 1880 cars
as compared with the report two weeks
previous, the number is still con sid
erably larger than railroad officials like
to see 1t.
While the large total Of idle car rep
resents In some degree a contraction OF
business, 1t indicates as well an over
building of cars In 1909 and 1910. More
than one-fourth OF the present surplus
represents increase in equipment over
year ago. to say nothing of the large
additions to rolling stock bought by
the railr- ads In 1909
That the idle car total does not fairly
represent business conditions may be
inferred also from the fact that in
April 1908. in the period of staEnation
following the 1907 panic. the railroads
had 413.33s idle freight cars on their
sidetracks
Reports indicate that there is prac-
tically no change in the number OF shop
cars since the last report, from which
1t follows that the decrease In surplus
denotes an increase in the number OF
cars in service.

PREPARING FOR MOVING DAY

AS moving time is approaching, a
few suggestions on the subject are ap-
propriate. This will not be a treatise
on when and how to dismantle the
house with view to keep every one
in 1t comfortable to the last two days
before the moving.
Some housewives begin to dismantle
month before moving day; others
leave 1T to the last day; neither of
which is commentaries In the case
OF the former every one is disconnected
so long beforehand. and In the case of
the latter the hurried packing is a
detriment to the condition OF the house

A little thought and a look around
the household will disclose many OF
the belongings that are not in general
use. A great deal more than we would
suppose. For instance, stuff in the
pantry, In the storeroom, superabun-
dant grocery supplies, temporarily
discarded clothing, superf1uous orna-

Literature for Criminals.

Scientific burglary Is perhaps prac-
tical to a greater extent in America
than in England. They have even a
literature on the subject which the
police find difficult to suppress. And
some time ago huge volume was
openly published which elucidated all
the latest methods Of crime, from rob-
bling till to blowing up bank safe
Most of the copies were seized, and
those that remain are nearly as valu-
able as first folio Shakespeares. On
this side of the Atlantic, however.
scientific instruction in the criminal
are has hitherto been confined to
magazine articles, although the pres
ent writer knows at least three books
that the up-to-date criminals would
find exceedingly useful.
One by celebrated chemist incl
dentally divulges secrets that would
make the fortune of forger An
other by a well-known lawyer de-
scribes an infallible means of prov
ing an alibi; while the third shows
the man who is wanted how to leave
the country by ways never watched
by the police.-London Chronicle

THE LEGEND OF THE LARK
Very Pretty Tale Found In Folk Lore
Of the AborlgInes Of
Japan.

The Ainu (the aborigines of Japan
have many legends about birds. one Of
which is very pretty. It is thus given
by recent writer:
The skylark used to live in heaven.
One day the God in heaven sent him
down to the earth with a message for
the gods who reside here, telling him
to return the same day. But the lit
tie bird thought the earth such nice
place that he stayed to play He was
here 80 long that 1t began to grow
dark, and he therefore determined to
spend the night on the ground. The
next day he arose in the air to return
to heaven, but God met him when he
was about six-score feet up, and said;
why did you not return as told you?
AS, therefore, you have disobeyed my
words you shall not return to heaven,
but live upon the earth. Although
you may attempt to fly as high up as
heaven. yet you shall never be able to
get any higher than one of two-score
of 8 feet. The little bird was exceed
tngly concerned at this, and arguing
with God, said oh, great God, as the
world you made is so beautiful I
could not help taking a look at It, and
80 got late. Although you chlde mo
for this yet will fly back to heaven
In this way he answered God. But
God did not consent Therefore the
little bird grew more and more dis
tressed and daily went as high as he
could, pleading all the time; yet God
would never consent to his entrance
Into heaven again He therefore re-
turned to the earth to play. After a
time he assembled and did the same
thing. yet God did not consent. The
same thing continues to happen now
every summer, but God never will al
low him to return"
This, as have said is very pretty
and even spiritual, but 1t seems to
have been a happy accident, for 1t is
In striking contrast to the other le-
gends. which are more or less stupid

An Alrboat.

The aeroplane is an alrboat rather
than a flying machine, says st. Mich
olas. The only action of the bird that
1t initiates is the birds soaring, In
nearly the same sense in which a boat
floats or a duck swims. With the
duck, however, there is one difference.
1t shares the balloon principle, be-
cause it's body will not sink when It
stands still, whereas the aeroplane
will fall unless It is constantly urged
forward. The duck is lighter than its
bulk Of water, as the balloon is light
er than its own bulk of air. To cali
an aeroplane a flying machine is
therefore exactly the same as to call
a boat swimming machine excepting
IN mind the swimming Of the duck
and neglecting that of fishes and of
human beings.

promoters of the enterprise and
secretary of the corporation:
"While most promising and
lusty youngster TO start with,
this is but an embryo Of the far
reaching plans we now have in
view. The company contem-
plates buying up "a lot more of
local stores to add to our string.
1t goes without saying that this
will give us tremendous purchas-
ing powers. We will control
practically the entire outputs of
some factories, buying up in car
load and train load lots and
distributing the merchandise
throughout our many local
stores"
"The Wichita store will be as
ISOLATED with the corporation and
nucleus of the whole system of
retail stores. We will add con-
stantly to our capitalization until

OF fifty stores in the Southwest,
