Mark Twain thinks tho United

Tradition says that the llrst Iochji
were made In Kiiglaud during tho reign
of Alfred the (Ireat, but It was not
until civilization had progressed to the
middle of tho fourteenth century that
their use became general, and only at
tho highly civilized period of tho nine
teenth century that steel vaults, burglar-proof
safes and such things be
came necessary.
Tho Immediate and nlM:uiortant
question Is not why tho frequent
wrecks aro so destructive, but why
they should lw allowed to occur In the
first place. Steel cars, of courso, are
better than wooden, but thero would
bo no complaint of danger front tho
latter If tho numlter of wrecks could
Ik reduced In this country to what
experience abroad shows to bo tho un
avoidable minimum. Tho mere pros
pect of collision-proof cars In tho dim
future will hardly divert public atten
tion from the task In hand, which Is
to prevent tho consequences of colli
sion by abolishing collisions.

tiro brave, fierce nnd perfect gluttoua
for lighting, as the Mexican govern
ment knows to Its cost Indeed, If there
nro any boldlera of fortune out of
work they can Bectiro tho contract of
exterminating tho Ynquls. They may
not complete the Jon, hut they will
have the time of their Uvea attempting
It.
Keep your thoughts on puro nlr In
the home. Don't bo afraid If It is a
little cold. None of Peary's party
caught cold nil the time they were In
roglonu away below zero, Puro, un
adulterated cold In healthful. It Is not
nil tho time pleasant, but one can wrap
up Mulltcteutly to provide against the
discomfort or It. That l eaxy, That
Id what they do with consumptives
wrup them up warmly and put them
out Into tho fresh, cold air. It Is not
the cold that hurts; it Is tho draft
which disturb tho temperature of the
body and consequently tho equilibrium
of the circulation, which In turn stuffs
tip tho capillaries, .nnd there you are
'ncezlnf. wheezing, .coughing, hawking,
fronting and itnalting, yourself a public
calamity.
A respected business man killed him'
self recently because his wife's affec
tions had been stolen. What of It?
Nothing out cvf the lordlnary, perhaps,
save that the sulelflo left a note to, the
coroner, In which he recommended tho
passage of laws making home-wreckers
criminals nmennble to a punishment of
thirty yenrs' Imprisonment. There's
something to think about In that Of
course, tho self-murderer was a cow
ard. Hut that does nut alter the fact
that the man who entered his home nnd
filched the wife's affections was worso
than a coward. The Innocent child who i
steals a loaf of bread from a bakery to
keep her brqthers and sisters from star
vation Is n criminal In the eyes of tho ,
law. The crawling thing that betrays
friendship jind squirms Into a good
man's home, stealing nil that Is best
; nnd
purest In his life what Is he? Crimi
nal? In the eyes of tho law, no. Scoun
drel? In the pye's of his fellow crea
tures perhaps. A loaf of bread. A
good woman's lore. An Innocent child.
A cowardly scoundrel. The law. The
suicide was right. There Is something
wrong somewhere.
The iifWHjiaK;r may bo depressing
muling for the young woman whoso
ambitions outsoar her conditions. In
a Hlngle Ikmio she may perhaps see tho
picture of a woman who has climbed
several of tho world's hlguest moun
tains; may read of another woman who
has achieved success In musical como
sltloii, and of a third who has written
a popular play; nnd may read the ro
IHrt of an address by a woman who i
a. dairy commissioner, and who Is ready
to throw tho light of modern sclonco
on tho chemical problems of butter nnd
cheese making. TIimo varied occupa
tions with their rewards may make
"the trivial round, tho common task"
reem Hat and dull to tho vlllago girl

l.orlr.on, She counts over her day's
ttihks. She has been up betimes to help
with tho breakfast, has mado nn oven
fill of delicious pumpkin plot, and has
swept halls and stairs. Then she has
gone through the week's mending, nnd
has ended the day by sitting for two
hours with a sick neighbor, nnd by at
tending n choir rehoarsal. Hut moun
tains and music, drama nnd chemistry
these are nil out of her line. Are they
really better than her cheerful houso
wirelines nnd kindly Mrvice? In tho
largest view of life, hors Is the nobler
task. Music, drama, athletics and even
npplled science are tho luxuries the
frills nnd furbelows of extstonce.

tunately, thero Is room In modern so
ciety for nil talents. Hut as nccoiu
pllshmonts grow moro numerous nnd al

the whole fabric of life upside down
by sotting Its luxuries nbovo Its essen

Charles M. Jacobs, tho chief engineer
of tho Pennsylvania Hallroad tunnel

ducted n party of railroad olllclals and
leporters through the superb tunnol on

At one Htago of tho program thero

"Wo nre not very punctual, eh? We

'"I understand,' ho snld, 'that thore
has been nn accident on your line to

dent with n sneer.
" 'Yes, sir.' And tho reporter waited,
pencil in hnud.
"'What do you know about this ac
cident?' tho president, still sneering,
linked.
"Nothing, except thnt It happened
to the 0:15 train,' the reporter meekly
answered.
"Woll,' snld the president, 'that
train came In on time to the minute.'
"'Aro you sure of that! said the
reportor.
"'Of course I am, sir.'
'Tho dtsnppolnted-reporter pocketed
his tools:
"'I suppose,' he said, thoughtfully,
'that must have been the accident re
ferred to.'"
