During the year 1000 property In tbo

A party of operating officials of a

ed thetaeelvvs Into a surprise party tho
other night and visited a neighboring
town to see whether engineers were
paying proper attention to tho signal,
lb result was Illuminating. Accord
ing to the published reports the In
spector turned out the lights Intended
to show that the track was clear, and
In spite of the warning thua given
twenty-four trains out of twenty-five
rushed by, only one stopping to In
restlgata what was wrong. Of four
passenger trains only two even slack
ened speed ou seeing the signal which
meant danger ahead. The road In ques
tion Is ouo of tbo best and most effi

such a state of things can exist on It
what Is tho condition ou other lines
If s completely equipped aud lew care
fully operated?
We think of the savage trlbo ns liv

tho garment, tbo house and tho cook.
Hut there Is a barbarian which upends
Its winters tu huts and holes from
which every hveath of fresh air Is shut
out, and where tho stllllug atmosphere
Is heavy with "old shapes of foul dis
ease." Akin to tho life of tlo hut aud
the slum Is tho life of the homo of
whatever grade where cold U dreaded
mora than bad air. Tho farm house,
tho millionaire's palaco and the vlt
logo grocery nllko shelter miserable
sinners against nature's lnws. Tho
crusade against tho ravages of con
sumption hns awakened thousands to
tbo fact that tho need for pure air Is
more lmcrutlvo even than tbo need
for good food, although It speaks with
a less Insistent voice. Hut hundreds
of thousands of housewives yet need
to learn tho danger of tbo comfortable
double window and the nlr-tlgbt stove,
and the healing power of pure, cold
air, steeped In God's own sunshine.
A woman who was known tin tho queen
of the Gypsies died recently In Eng
land. She wnu of great age and nmaz
lug vigor, nnd n real "character" In
her reserve and her hatred of modern
conditions. Hho seldom talked, but It
was known thnt sho eonlsdered educa
tion ns rubbish, houses ns no bettor
Until prisons, nnd tho persons who died
In them its tbo victims of their own
elTomluncy. In n phraso both telling
and memorable, she boosted herself
"free from the tyranny of the roof."
That Is truly a noblo freedom nnd one
which every wlso woman mny covet
for herself nnd her children. Perhaps
another hundred years may see tliA
stuffy bedroom everywhere supplant
ed by the airy (torch, and find civilized
man again seeping under tho sky.
As a plonxnnt Illustration of the
value of tho expert trade, attention
may bo called to the suit Instituted In
New York by a distinguished alienist
for payment of fd.500 balance of n
JZI.COO bill for expert testimony. The
defendant, n wealthy widow, demurs ou
tho ground that tho services wore not
worth tho price. In view of nit cir
cumstances the wonder grows that bo
few men engage In tho profitable, busi
ness of what mny bo called exporting.
Why should it man toll nnd drudge
for a mero livelihood when, with a lino
appearance, a modicum of practical ex
jcrlencc, and tho acquisition of Impres
sive technical tonus, ho can reap it
much richer harvest? If a will In
volving tho distribution of n large es
tate Is to bo broken on the ground thnt
tho maker was feeble minded, tho ex
pert nppcars ready to throw tho weight
of his testimony In tbo direction de
sired. If n rich mnn or n rich man's
son Is In danger of tho law through
reason of a serious Infraction of tho
statutes, along comes tho export to
provo conclusively that tho shnpo of
his head, tho wllduess of his eye, or
somo eccentricities of conduct demon
strnto derangement of tits mental facul
ties. The amount of compensation do
ponds, of course, on tbo wealth of tho
parties interested. Hut, Inasmuch as
such export testimony Is sought chlolly
by those who have tho willingness nnd
tho wealth to pay, tho compensation Is
usually of tho most generous nature.
Tho learned gentleman who receives
?I7,000 for n deiioflltlon, or even for
an hour agreeably scnt on tbo wit
ness stand, lias excellent reason to bo
In love with his profession nnd to rec
ommend It to thoso who uro discon
tented with their humbler pursuits.
Why ho should go to Inw for the pal
try sum of JO.flOO when ho could more
profitably Improve his tlmo In seeking
nnothor client Is uot so clear.
