RAILWAY FARES LOW THEN
In England During 1s5e-57 Rates Were
at the Minimum Because Of
Competition.

In calculating the recent big in
crease in railway fares. the powers
that be unfortunately took the present
day ordinary rates, remarks London
Tit-Bits. Travellers would have been
better pleased had they taken as a
basis the fares in vogue sixty years
ago. Competition then reacted most
beneflcially for the traveller. During
the winter Of 1861 the fare from
London to Peterborough was one shil-
ling, the distance being 76 miles. and
during the same period the ordinary
return fare between York and London,
377 miles, was 3s Cd.
A year later there was a competitive
effort to capture the Manchester pas
senger traffic, with the result that the
double journey Of 1857 miles cost but
five shillings. After that the compa-
MES became more commercial and less
philanthropic.

GIVING LIFE FOR PEACE.
How a Deadly Feud Between Alaskan
Tribes Was Ended.


Ending a war is always attended
with difficulties and perpleXities. 1t is
interesting to recall the manner in
which two Alaskan tribes, the Stickeen
ard the Sitkas, once settled such a
matter. The late John Muir narrated
the facts. The bloody feud had lasted
all summer, for the parties were evenly
matched, and they We're all likely to
starve in the winter because the wo-
men dared not go out to fish or pick
berries. But one day a Stickeen chief
appeared between the camps and called
for a parley. He said:
MY people are hungry. They dare
not go to the salmon streams or berry
fields for winter supplies, and IL this
wal goes on much longer most of my
people will die of hunger. We have
fought long enough; let us have peace.
You brave Sitka warriors go home, and
we will go home, and we will all set
out to dry salmon and berries before it
is too late
The Sitka chief replied:
You may well say let US stop fight
ing when you have had the best of it.
You have killed ten more of my tribe
than we have killed of yours. Give us
the Stickeen men to balance our blood
account; then and not till then will we
make peace and go home"
very WELL" replied the Stickeen
chief; you know my rank. You know
that / am worth ten common men and
more. Take me and make peace"
The offer was accepted. The chief
gave himself up and was shot down in
his tracks in sight of both tribes. One
man died for many, and peace was re
etnred.-Christian Advocate.

q many different kinds Of seams
- Why does the dressmaker use
this kind here and that kind
there? No, it does not just depend Oh
her humor. There's a reason for every
kind of seam. The French seam Is
nearly always used for tub dresses and
blouses of fine materials. such as
voiles, lawns and dimities. for chif-
fon, g%eorgette Grape, crepe de chine and
other soft silks, and it is often pre-
ferred even for such sturdy materials
as ginghams and linens. 1t is much
stronger and heater than the overcast
seam, which does not hold well in fine
materials.
If you are tempted to economic in
making French seams-don't! Cotton
for the first sewing and silk for the sec
ond alone is poor economy, because
the silk is stronger II more elastic.

An Artists Privations.

Tough, an English sculptor. had an
imaginative enthusiasm so vivid that
he once said timidly to a friend. as if
fearing ridicule. 81 fancy myself in the
Acropolis sometimes and hear a roar
ing noise like the tide" The sculptor's
early privations were terrible. Says a
writer:
During Lough's first year in Lon
don, when engaged on his Milo he
went without meat for three months,
had only n bushel and a half of coal
during the whole winter. tore up his
shirts to make rags in which to keep
his clay figure moist and slept beside
it-when the cold would allow him to
sleep-on the ground

While 1t will "give" with the material
and not quicker after a laundering, the
cotton seam does the reverse and
therefore must snap. This applies to
chiffons, grapes and silks. which are
always sewed with silk. Cotton, of
course, must have both seams cotton.
The fiat fell seam is used chiefly for
underwear. 1t is preferred to the
French seam for this purpose because
it is SO much smoother on the wrong
side. The French seam, however, is
run up more easily. and it is often
used even in underwear.
Everlasting is used on materials of a
fine weave, which would not ravel
easily. These are usually the heavier
cotton materials, and for such there
are also other more popular finishes
You shall hear about these in the next
lesson.

MAN AID HIS WEIGHT.
Foods That Are Enemies of Persons
Inclined to Be Stout.

FoodS max Are Enemies CT PERSONS
Inclined to Be Stout.
If you are inclined to be leshy here
are the foods you should avoid, accord
ing TO an article in the American Mag
azine. The author says:
"Overeating is not necessarily glut-
tony, or anything approaching it. A
small meal made up of certain foods
will furnish more fuel-and more fat
to the body than one twice as large
and less discreetly chosen. Foods vary
vastly in fuel value; for instance, one
pound of olive oil will stand sponsor
for more surplus flesh than forty-ive
pounds of the lettuce on which you are
likely to eat it.
"The stout person must learn that he
has both friends and enemies at the
table. His enemies are sugar, bread,
cereal, desserts. butter, cream, olive
oil, bacon. cocoa and rich sauces.
Among his best friends are lean meats,
unsweetened fruits and green foods.
Yet, alas, most plump people seem
stricken with an ardent love for their
enemies. This may be good Scripture,
but it is mighty poor dietetics.
Between forty and fifty a nan who
allows his weight to remain high is
running more danger of an early de-
mise than he would run if he contract
ed typhoid fever. What is more, if he
were stricken with that disease his
chance of recovery would be 10 per
cent less than normal. A man who is
thinner than the average, on the other
hand, has less danger of dying in this
decade than a nan who tips the scales
at the normal figure.
"When a man is in his twenties a de-
f~iciency of twenty pounds in weight
makes him - per cent more liable to
fall before the scythe of the implacable
reaper. A slight surplus of flesh seems
to assist one in escaping diseases that
cause death in this period-principally
tuberculosis and typhoid fever.
"a man in his ffties who Is twenty
pounds over normal weight has a 10
per cent mortality handicap to face.
Should he be forty pounds over weight
his chances of dying are increased 40
per cent thereby"
