For cnch tiny huiiip folkfl lnbor In tho Lord's vlnuynrd tlioy expect the Lord to work two tlayH In theirs. This would ho a gloomy old world If It had to depend upon tho moods of some people for Its supply of Biinshlnu. A ninn may he willing to admit that his wife knowH more than lie does), but Just the name he obJeetH to her runnliiK his business. Senator Morgan Ih entitled to the honor of laying the corner Htone of tins Nicaragua Canal, provided It Ih to have a corner Htoue. A law Is proposed In Holieiiiln requir ing candidates for matrimony to pro cure a cettlllcate of mental soundness. That would cut out about all of them. Some people get very tender In cold weather; they will remain up all week until 11 o'clock at night, but Sunday evening can't go to church becaiiHo they are afraid to be out late. A Chicago professor thinks he can produce life. All he needs, he says, Is an "Ion." A little tack, placed with Its live end up, In a chair, Iiiih often been the Iron needful to produce much ac tivity In the lives of our fathers. Only a tiulbbler will quarrel with the Btatemeiil that every man workH for a living. Those who do not are the ex ceptions proving the rule, and they are exceedingly unhappy. And no man works harder than the millionaire, to whom the eight-hour law affords no re lief whatever. The extreme penalty of financial law Iiiih been Imposed upon hlm-lic Is sentenced to ilnanclal servi tude for life. Whatever the cause or causes, strikes are nearly always uuprotltable, even to the side which wins. Unless there Is a prompt yielding by one Hide or the oth er the resultant losses almost Invaria bly overbalance the gains. An advancu of 0 or 10 per cent In wages Is but a Himill return for many weeks or months of Idleness, and when such an advance la secured there Is always the uncer tainty iih to how long It can lit1 retained. Their ablest leader, Hooker T. Wash ington, sees the salvation of his race In becoming tillers of the soil. Ills conn ncl Ih of universal application. Man can do without everything but what the soil produces. In Its cultivation there Is more rest for the mind and exercise for tho body than In any other Tocatlon known to mankind. Migra tion from farms to factories helped to bring In the Industrial area, but over pressure upon city employment now points tho way back to tho soil. Congress appropriated a million dol lars for the soldiers' homo now building ut Johnson City, Teun., thirty-live buildings embosomed In a beautiful park and all set "In the heart of the mountains." The characteristic dis tinction of this home Is that veterans of the Civil War, both Union ami Con federate, and soldiers disabled In the Spanish War will be harbored there. It Is pleasing to think of the older he roes, once antagonists, dwelling togeth er In comfort and amity. It makes one wish the factions that continually snap and snarl and light In the Central American States could bo transported to the neighborhood, fastened In cages uiul made to look on the scene" until they absorbed the meaning of It. Noth ing Is clearer than that the republics on the farther side of Mexico will nev er prosper until their people learn to do ns wo hiivo done, "get through" and bo friends. Tho recent accident on tho Chicago anil Northwestern Itoiul, In which four persons lost their lives, over thirty were Injured nml much valuable property destroyed, was occasioned by a nils placed hwltcli. llecniiKo the switch was not properly set u passenger and a freight train came together with disas trous coiihciiiicuccs to both. It Is the opinion of the railroad olllclals that tliu responsibility for the misplacement probably lies with some member of tint crew of the freight train. There Is ev. cry reason to believe that this was the case, nMlie switch had Just been used by that crew. So the carelessness of an unknown subordinate has plied up a bill of damages which the railroad com pany will have to foot, ltallroads have to depend on the Intelligence and vig ilance of employes. There Is no auto matic machinery by which trains can be run, Hut men are sometimes care less and sometimes make mistakes which have sad and expensive conse quences, ltallroads have done much to guard against such mistakes, but they do not seem to have done enough. Since the misplacing of a switch can do so much mischief, apparently It should not be left to one man In a freight crew, unchecked and uiiwatched, to attend to the setting of a switch. The prolw bllltles are that If It had been made tho duty of the engineer to see that tho switch was all right, he would havo dls. covered the mistake and there would have been no accident. Tho technical engineering details of rnllroadlug are of little interest to tho general public, as a rule. The public Is concerned only In tho results of modern railroading as seen lu fast and luxuri ous train service. How this service Is attained In a matter for the engineers and railway olllclals. The heavy extra cost of fast trains, however, ns brought out at the forty-fourth meeting of the American Society of Mechanical En gineers In New York, Is not without popular Interest In that It disabuses the average laymnii of some erroneous Impressions. It might be supposed that n fast trntn running from Chicago to Denver, and making but one or two stops, would cost less than a slow train making all the stops on the road. This Is a radical error, as shown by one of the Bpeakers Mr. Delano, of Chicago nt the engineers' convention. The ele ments of cost In the fast train service are Increased fuel consumption, higher grade of machinery and service, In creased wenr and tear, greater risk of accident and the delay to other trnlllc. It was shown by Mr. Delano that an In crease from thirty to Hlxty miles per hour would raise fuel consumption for power i2y2 per cent. The damngo to trackage by fast train service Is nlso an Important factor In the Increased cost. Careful records hnve demon strated that the high-speed engine has much more effect upon rails and road bed than the slower moving engine of greater tractive power, "with a less path described by the counterweight of the driving wheels In single revolu tions." It Is also obvious to even the ltiyuuiu that the consequences of an accident either to machinery or track at high speed are much more serious both In money Iosh anil In the effect niton the popular mind of such accident than those which occur to slow-moving freight trains. Added to the disasters from collisions are the Indirect losses through delays to other trnlllc. Tho track must be clear for the fast train. Hundreds of cars of freight are Hide tracked at various points to enable It to get by. It is the high-speed trains which are responsible for the expensive block and signal systems. It was also brought out by Mr. Delano that It has been an axiom of the railroad managers that the way to do a maximum busi ness over u piece of railroad Is to havo all trains moving at as nearly a uni form rate of speed as possible. Tho high-speed train, moving at long Inter VIIIH, (unites It Impossible to llttnlll HUH maximum business, Those disclosures Klvo tlm public sonio I (1 on of tho extra burden of cost Unit Ih Imposed upon tlio carrier corporation!) by the highly developed flint railway mull service of thin (null try.

It Is to prevent tills waste and retain the sonp until It Is almost used ut) that the Invention shown In the Illustration has been designed. The binding plate which presses against tho surface of the cake or soap Ih made of porcelain preferably, although aluminum may be utilized, ami to Insure a perfect lit around the outer edge u rubber packing ring Is fitted In it groove on the edge. The tendency of the water to soften the outer edge of the cake Is prevented by this plate, as the contact of tho brush Is limited to the small open ings, but sulllelent soap for a good lather Is easily obtained, and as tho cake wears beneath the openings the plate Is turned to a fresh position ami pressed lower lu the cup to hold tho cake lu place, (icorgc M.

Uu delights In uniforms and gold lace, military titles and display, yet he allows his neighbor, San Do mingo, to push the frout.er between the states farther and farther to tho westward without ottering the slight est objection. Here Is a conversation reported by Hcsketh I'rlchard between three consequential Haitians, clad re spectively ,11 blue, green and pink uni forms thickly netted over with gold lace: "(icneral," remarks the blue one. "What, my general Y" respond the others. "I am tired. Hut the review of to day! What a spectacle!" . "O-hol" cries the pink general. "As suredly a great spectacle!" "Without nuestlon," says the green general, "the most imigulllceut specta cle that one could Imagine." "I was much Interested," remarks the Kiigllshiuaii, "Our army Is coinpobcd of brave men," says the blue. "Our troops are the tlnest In the world. Do you not think so, mon sieur?" "I have seen none like them," agrees the Kugllshman, with caution, "The army of Haiti has never been conquered. 'Hie French were here; we drove them out. The Kngllsh fought with us; where are they? Hut we we we are hero always. Wo have never been conquered." This was the paean of the pink gen eral, nnd the others agreed. Women IhuitiirM lit Turkey.
