In 1896 the first fast freight service
was iuaugurated, but it was not all
hat it ought to be until about four
years ago.
At that time the New Haven roads
officials got together with those of the
Pennsylvania and decided to work out
a schedule which would land the
stuff from the southern farms in Bos-
ton in ample time for the second mar
ket day, counting from the time of its
shipment. 1t was to be schedule
which would stand up under heavy

commission men to increase their or

was arranged for around New York.
In all about five trains are now re-
quired in the busy season to bring this
produce from the south. The cars are
picked up all over Virginia and even

collected at Norfolk. There the Penn

VeN ons in May. Today this Is the
q W boast of no modern Lucullus,
but the privilege of the many.
You may even eat fresh Strawberries
away up in northern New England in
February. Today the New Englander
can cut his cantaloupe and eat fresh
vegetables with snow still on the
ground. New potatoes when bis own
are being planted are to him no ,cnger
a dream. Fresh peaches on his table
when his own trees are just through
blossoming excite about as much curl
oSity in him as the brides bouquet of
roses IN January. No longer does that
strnwb berry patch out in his own gar
den mean his first taste of the luscious
fruit in June or July. 1t used TO be
so many years ago, but nowadays he
has probably eaten quarts of berries
long before his own have ripened
All this has been brought about not
by some agricultural wizards work

ogists' work in studying the weather,
but by the railroads, 1t IS the result
solely Of the perfecting of our modern

commerce TO a standard not surpassed
anywhere else in the world, enabling
the traffic men and operating experts
so to work out fast freight schedules
that today the New England table is
but forty hours from southern farms.
There is no faster freight service in
the world than that which carries
rawberries to the New England table
from the southland in two days. There
Is no such terminal yard anywhere as
the great yard or yards at South BoS-
ton of the New York. New Haven and
Hartford. where this fruit and early
vegetables are received, bought and
sold and distributed. AS many az
800 carloads Of Strawberries are some
times received there in n single day,
and so quickly are they handled that
one hour after they have entered the
yard they are either being unloaded
or are being sent ont again to Port
land or places even farther north.
where they can be eaten the next
morning.

freight had to travel.
Even in the early days Of consolida-
ton there was still much time con-
sumed because the old freight transfer
points were retained. Boston and
northern New England were not en-
tirely without early produce, but owing
to the slow schedules and delays the
business was hazardous one for
commission men. In these days the
bulk Of the southern fruit and vegeta-
bles was put on a boat at Norfolk and
rushed by sea to Boston. Some OF IL
went by rail to New York and thence
by the old Stonington line to Boston.
The sea was able to afford the better
service for the most part The boats
from Norfolk made the third market

MORALS Or MANNERS?

Whether the vulgarity and audac-
ious suggestiveness that today char
acteriZe the social relaxation Of many
persons who not only assert their
responsibility but even pretend to a
certain pre-eminence in gentility
mark decadence in morals or a
mere uncovering of inherent bad
manners is a problem worthy of the
patient research of a philosopher.
Those who occasionally in the name
of refinement protest that the dis
gustingly named dances which in
spite of strong opposition have been
adopted by major portion of the
pleasure seeking community are an
index Of low standards are glibly in
formed that they thereby confess to
hypocrisy. II they pursue the sub
ject, and dare to mention decency,
they are accused of narrowminded-
ness They are Immediately reminded
that to the pure all things are pure,
and their intervention, though it be
in behalf of dignity only, is resented
with sneers or ridicule
Yet those who have the courage to
maintain that even a virtuous man
should comport himself with modesty
and reserve can cite in support of
their complaint against the prevail
ing ballroom fashions the unspeak-
able design of the dances that today
engage the activities of young and
old, their brothel origin and their in
eVitably abominable associations.
When INDUCED in by innocence they
smirch innocence with their inescap-
80
ment merely psychological, for no
observant person can have failed to
see in numerous places of public
resort the unblushing intermingling
of cOurtesans and ladies on terms
which involve no conceaIment of the
courtesan's moral oDnqulty and pro-
fessiOnal purpose. No man can be so
simple as to believe that such asso-
citation can benefit chastity; no man
is wise enough to foretell it's ultimate
effect.
Regardless Of the moral condition
indexed by the abandonment of old
standards of behavior, do the new
make for better manners? Are ugli-
ness of motion, easy familiarity and
suggestive posturing more likely to
inspire for women respect and con-
sideration than are grace of move
ment, dignity of demeanor and mod
esty of department? Is it really de-
sirable that the usages and atmos-
phere of the stews should replace the
accepted customs of ladies and gem
tlemen, even though their essentials
be disregarded in the process Of
translation?-N. Y. Sun.
