Perhaps the most suspicious thing about the new railroad rate hill is that it is receiving tinqaliiiod praise of President Taft. When we remember that the Payne-Aldrieh

Well, when the Itrltisb built the Egyptian state railway ihe oiti'iala were aatotnided ut the enormous quantities of train oil tbai dis:ippeari>d.

There is in the Koval dhrnrv at Stockholm among other curiosities a manuscrlpl work known as Hie glan'
hill likewise received tins praise and ! tiiat Mr. liallinger lias also been the recipient of presidential eulogy, this ecstasy over the Railroad rate hill and the Postal Bank hill will cause them to lie scanned with) nwich suspicion. In fact, If tihe president had really desired the people to think well of the bill it would have been the part of diplomacy and prudence to refrain from giving them the tag of executive approval. Just at this time the; approval William H. Taft carries anything but a conviction. ; The president has approved so much, including Aldrich, Cannon and Brother Charley, that the masses of the people are inclined j to feel little enthusiasm over presidential ecstasy.

There Should. Fritz, the gardener, was a stolid German who was rarely moved to extraordinary language. Even the moat provocative occasions only causial him to remark mildly on his ill luck. Not long ago he came back from the city in the late evening after a hard day in the market place. He was sleepy, and. the train being crowded, tlie baggageman gave Lira a chair in his roomy car. Finally the train reached Bloomfield. Fritz still Slept as it pulled in. and hLs friend had to shake him and tell him where he was. “1 tanks you.” said Fritz as he rose slowly to his feet. The open door of the car was directly in front of him. Lie walked straight out of it. The baggageman sprang to look after him. Fritz slowly picked himself up from the sand by the side of the track, looked up at the door and said, with no wrath in his voice: "There should here he some steps.” —Youth’s Companion.
A Wonderful Feat. In Its review of I’ierre de Vassiere’s book "Le Mmi du Roi" the Neueste Nacbricbieti dwells upon the account of tlie last seven minutes of Louis XVI as described in the book. These were between 10:15, when the king arrived ut ihe font of the guillotine, and 10:22. "wlien a shot fired at the end of the Champs Elysees. no one knows by whom, gave notice that the head had fallen.” The review culls attention to the statement by the author that the king's hands had been pinioned behind him by the executioner while Louis was putting on the coat which he was to wear at the end and that when bo readied the platform of the Instrument of death he rushed unassisted to the upright farthest from the stairway, "slapping tlie face of one of the assistant executioners who tried to stop him.” With hands fastened nt Ids back, the reviewer asks, "How did the doomed monarch manage to perform the opera tion'!”
Etiquette by Precedent. For example of how men may live and act according to precedent there can be no better reference than to the lord cbamtierlaln's office in London There in quiet rooms day after day men learned In state etiquette, court dress amt mynl functions roach down heavy volumes to see what was done on such a id such an occasion. Beautiful pictures showing with minute exactness the details of tlie court costume under various circumstances are ready to their bands. Is tlie shah of Persia coining? is the kaiser soon to arrive? Is the king going to receive the monarch ot Slam? Is one ot ihe royal princesses to be married? When any of these events happens the otfi cials at the lord chamberlain's office know exactly what to do. And if some point should crop up which lias not been raised for a century or more they have tlie faithful official records ns to what was done on the last like occasion.
Eccentricities In Palaces. The Russian Empress Anne built a great palace of Ice and on occasions when the fancy seized her punished several of her dainty courtiers by compelling them to pass the night in this great chamber of state, where they were almost frozen to death. The Czar Paul constructed a room formed entirely of huge mirrors where he spent hours walking to and fro in full uniform-a singular taste for the ugliest uiau in Russia. One of the native princes of Java cooled Ids palace by making a stream fail in a cascade over tlie gateway, and the Indian despot Tippo Sahib placed beside Ids dinner table a life size figure ot n tiger devouring an English officer, the roar ot tlie beast and the shrieks ot the victim being imitated by hidden machinery. The River Tinto. There is in Spain a river called the Tinto, which lias very extraordinary qualities, its waters, which are as yellow as a topaz, harden ihe sand and petrify It in a most surprising manner If a stone falls iuio ihe river and rests upon another they boili become per f(“Ctly united and coiiglntinated In a year. Ii \\ i ,ii- ail ihe p'ants on Its banks ns well ns the roots ot trees, which It dyes of tlie saint hue us Its waters No fish live in lls stream. A Creature From the Fire. Aristoile believed iliat some creatures were capable ot supporting life even though enutiued lo the devouring element. He says "lu Cj prus. when the manufacturers of ehaleitls (lltuei burn it many days in Ihe tire, a winged creature something larger than a great fly Is seen emerging from the stoue and leaping and walking about in Hie fire. These creatures perish immedi ately upon being removed from the furnace."
Before and After. The Adorer—It’s wonderful, old man. what love will enable « fellow to see in a girl that be never saw before. The Onlooker-No doubt, but it's equally wonderful what It won't let him see that he’ll see later.
Biblical Instruction. "What does exegesis mean, father?” "1 can never remember long what It does mean. It ts something theological—probably a combination of Exodus and Genesis, about like Deuteronomy " -Life.
Airy Persiflage. Passenger on Aeroplane — What’s that dlngdonging noise? Can It b. the cowbells op the Milky way? Avia tor-No; Hint's only Saturn's rings Prosperity lends often to ambition and ambition to disappointment.
