RAISE IN
FREIGHT RATES
Engineers Demand for High
er Wages Cause Assigned.

Washington, Feb. 21.-0facials of the
commerce commission would
not be surprised If a movement were
inaugurated this spring By the railroads
in eastern territory for q horizontal In
crease In freight rates.
The commission Is paying close at
tention to a series of conferences now
on between representatives Of the east
ern carriers and representatives of the
locomotive engineers, who are demand
ing an increase In wages Of from 20 to
so per cent. According to the repre-
sentatiyes OF the carriers, the proposed
increase in wages would amount to
$10,000,OO0 a year. 1t LIS said that the
carriers will decline to grant an in
crease and will base the declination
not on the grounds that the engineers
are not entitled to 1t, but Upon the
ground that they ara unable to do SO
unless they are allowed to raise theii
freight rates.
The commission about a year age
handed down an opinion declining te
approve general advances in freight
rates ON eastern and western railroads

TO KEEP SEAT?
Charges Against Him Have
Not Been Proven.

Washington. Feb. Ex-senator Isaac
~Stephenson's election case Is expected
to attract "a much ~notorIety In the next
few weeks as that Of Lortmcr when 1t
was the big subject for debate In the
senate
It looked for a time as If the Stephen
son Ease would be allowed to go by de-
fault. A month ago nobody believed
the senate would give any serious con-
sideration to it, because 1t was under
stood that the charges OF corrupt
methods and practices" had not been
proved, and there was a general feel
Ing that the charges against Senator
Stephenson were inspired by his polit-
ical enemies In Wisconsin, who had
failed to produce the evidence to sus-
tain the charges, but 1t Is a serious
question now whether Senator Stephen
son can retain his seat.
The renewal of interest In the Ste
phenson case 10 due to the character Of
the reports submitted. The majority
report briefly recites that the senator
from Wisconsin Is entitled to his seat
and that the charges Of corrupt meth
DDS and practices have not been proved
Senator Hepburn OF Idaho felt imp eiled
TO submit his views as an individual
member of the committee, and In 1t he
condemned the expenditure Of a large
sum Of money, which Senator Stephen
son admittedly spent, and also took a
whack ut Etephenson's managers for
carrying out OF the state certain docut
ments that might have been material
evidence In the case. Then two other
members of the committee, Senator
Sutherland and Senator Pomerene.
Joined In q report which was even mere
scathing In its condemnation OF the
methods OF Senator Stephenson's man
ayers and especially as 10 the corrupt
use OF money. Finally q minority re-,
port from the whole committee went
in. which recommended that Senator
Stephenson be unseated on the ground
that the evidence submitted before the
investigating committee OF the expend-
iture Of so large q sum az $10T,o00 was
| prima facie evidence Of corruption and
that Senator Stephenson's managers
had not produced evidence to overcome
this presumption OF guilt, and there
fore he ought to surrender bis seat.

Value Of pasn BREATHING

Writing on the cultivation of phys
zeal fitness in the Herald Of the Golden
Age, Eustace Miles says that those
who have mastered the art of deep
and full breathing are thereby enabled
to master theic emotions-they can
overcome pain and secure control Of
the mind and of the circulation of the
blood. The control of the breathing
prevents one from becoming hurried
and furried, and one acts leisurely,
although not lazily. Breathing can be
adapted to various needs-for instance.
In producing warmth or the opposite
effect-or one can breathe in order to
become more sensitive. In fact. the al.
round value Of deep and full breath
ing cannot be overestimated. OF all
physical practices this Is the FIRST and
foremost and one that can be regu
lated without being in the least con
spicuous. IL you have learned how to
breathe deeply and fully people may
not suspect it-they only notice that
you are calm, poised and good tenn
pered

Nerves az csniua

Many Of the men whose names We
revere today in science. art, literature
and poetry suffered from emotional
disturbances, resulting In nerve storms
or outbursts of mental violence, which
can only be described as superacute
mania. The poet Cowper had strong
suicidal tendencies. yet he wrote John
Gilpin" when suffering from intense
melancholia. Shelley had an insane
ancestry. and at Elton be was called
Mad Shelley" CHARLES Lamb had to
be placed in an asylum. and his sister
Mary stabbed her mother to the heart
while insane. Wordsworth and his
sister Dorothy are almost a parallel to
Charles and Mary Lamb. At the age
Of thirty Coleridge was broken down,
and he died a wreck at sixty-t two.
Southey came Of an insane stock. The
mother of Richard Brinsley Sheridan.
the dramatist, died dementcd at forty
two. Pope was deformed and rickety.
and Keats was homeopathic to his fin
ger tips. Byron's mother was unbal-
anced, and so was his maternal grand
father.-Londop Globe.

Snakes Method Of Attack.

No snake is able to jump or spring
from a coil In order to strike. as often
represented In pictures. 1t can only
strike when II resembles the letter s
and Is lying Cat on the ground 1t can
then only reach the distance supplied
by stretching the body out straight.
The two curves in tue figure S supply
this distance, which Is about half the
length OF the body. No snake jumps
through the air to It's victim or springs
clear from the ground, rising upon its
tail. Such stories and pictures are all
false. Neither do they coil like a rope
and strike from, that position. They
may coil partially. but the part of the
body that does the striking is ever and
only that part which makes the figure
S and lies dat on the ground; hence no
serpent can strike when stretched out
its full length.

The soil and atmosphere are so cold
and dry In faraway Labrador that
scarcely any vegetation thrives at all.
The larch is a species Of pine tree
which Is found in all northern coun-
tries. but its growth is 50 stunted in
Labrador that q specimen found on
the most southern part Of that dreary
land was but nine inches In height and
the trunk was but three eighths of an
inch In diameter. A careful examina-
ton Of the miniature tree revealed its
age to be at least thirty-two years, for
there were that number of ring
growths shown In its small trunk. The
very cold currents pouring down from
the north and the fact that Labrador
has less sunshine than Alaska, to-
gether with several inland climatic
conditions, make the summer seasons
shorter and colder than are those OF
Alaska.-Exchange.
