cheerful and more restful atmos

it. If each wife would make this
the leading resolve of her life the
world would be revolutionized.

Perfumes at $100 an Ounce.
Genuine attar of roses comes from
the Orient. When perfectly pure it
is of almost fabulous value. The se
cret of Its preparation is carefully
guarded, and the finest product is
usually sold in quantities not exceed
ing a few drops. Violet is one of the
perfumes that have been so closely
Imitated that thoughtless people never
stop to discriminate and buy the manu
factured for the genuine article. The
recent discovery of a chemical process
by which a perfume can be produced
which cannot, even by experts, be dis
tinguished from true violet extract is
a matter of importance, as this is one
of the most popular of odors. The sub
stance, however, is worth $190 per
ounce wholesale. Lavender is a home
grown perfume.
Sidestepping a Theological Query.
“When dat uppity cullid man tried*
to staht a ’spute wid me,” stated old
Brother Cuddyhump, “by axin’, if de
world is round, like some folks say
'tis, why de doose don’t de people on
de yudder side drap off, I says to him.
"Putt It in writing’, sah ; dess putt it in
writin’, and I’ll consider yo’ distention.’
And dat sho’ took de gas out’n his
b’loon! Uck—dat ignunt nigger kain’t
write, and I kain’t read, if he could.
If he could write and I could read I
wouldn’t uh-instlgated him to put it

In Every Drop of Water.
In every drop of water we drink
and in every mouthful of air we
breathe, there is a movement and
collision of particles so rapid in every
second of time that It can only be ex
pressed by four with nineteen
naughts. If the movement of these
particles were attended by friction, or
if the energy of their impact were
translated into heat, what hot mouth
fuls we should have! But the heat,
as well as the particle, is infinites
imal, and is not perceptible.—John
Burroughs in the Yale Review.
Real Self-Denial.
What is real self-denial? A corre
spondent claims to have witnessed
an instance of the true spirit of it
this week. It w-as in a bus going to
Liverpool street, and the conductor
was upstairs Collecting fares. A boy
had only just Jumped on when a
Salvation Army officer brought his box
round asking for “Just a little some
thing toward the fund.” The boy was
the first to put a copper In the box,
and as he evidently had no more
money, he simply got ofT the bus
again and walked.—London Chronicle.
KNOW THY COUNTRY
II—Railroads
In discussing the commercial
achievements of this great age, we
shall approach the subject as the
historian chronicling events. This se
ries will endeavor to record in writ
ing the supremacy of American men
and industries in the world's affairs
and perptuate an appreciation of our
marvelous industrial achievements by
presenting simple facts, figures and
comparisons that are overpowering in
their convictions.
America holds her proud place
among the nations of the earth today
on account of her supremacy in trans
portation facilities. The mighty minds
of the age are engaged in the prob
lems of transportation, and the great
est men in the history of the world’s
commerce are at the head of the
transportation systems of the United
States.
In the discussion of transportation,
let us consider separately our Rail
ways, Telegraph and Telephones, Ex
press, Public Highways, Steamships,
Street Railways, Interurban and other
forms of transportation, and this ar
ticle will deal with railways.
The United States has the largest
mileage, the best service, the cheap
est rates, pays labor the highest
wages, and we have the most efficient
ly managed of the railways of the
world. They stand as a monument to
the native genius of our marvelous
builders, and most of the railroads in
foreign countries have been built
under American orders.
The railroads represent a larger in
vestment of capital than any other
branch of human activity. The mile
age in the United States exceeds
the accepted distance from the earth
to the moon. We had in 1911, the
last year in which figures for all
countries are available, on the
earth’s surface, 639,981 miles of rail
way divided as follows: United States
241.199, Europe 207,432 and other
countries 191,350. The United States
has 38 per cent of the world’s mileage,
seven per cent of the estimated pop
ulation and about five per cent of the
area. The total capital invested in the
railways of the woTld is $50,000,000,
000, divided as follows: United States
$18,000,000,000 Europe $25,650,000,000
and other countries $11,350,000,000.
Reduced to a mileage basis the cap
italization is as follows: The world
$78,000, United States $54,000, Europe
$124,000, and other countries $59,000.
A comparison of rates is equally as
interesting and the United States
takes the lead in economy and serv
ice. The average rate per ton per
hundred mile haul is as follows:
United States 76c, Great Britain $2.53,
France $1.44, Germany $1.44, Russia
92c, Austria-Hungary $1.30, Italy $2.30
and Switzerland $2.82.
The average yearly pay of all rail
road employes in the principal coun
tries is as follows: United States
$757, Germany $392, Italy $345, Aus
tria $322, Great Britain $279, France
$260 and Russia $204.
About 30 per cent, or 188,000 miles,
of the railways of the world are
government owned. About half the
railway mileage of Europe is govern
ment owned.
A comparison of the economy, in
time and money and the convenience
in travel, will be made in a later
article.

“Halloa!" Jellison cried, as he en
countered his acquaintance, Rarwood,
In the street. "Thought you were get
ting married today. Postponed?"'
* “Altogether," answered Rarwood,
firmly.
“Not even engaged now, then?" pur
sued Jellison.
“No; the lady I was to have married
was too modern, too up to date for
me.”
"Up to date!” The excuse aston
ished Jellison “How on earth—!”
"Wrote her last Monday saying I
was coming to see her on Wednesday.
You see, although we had been en
gaged for some time, I had never for
mally proposed. So I went on Wednes
day, just to satisfy her whim, as 1
thought. Got there and found she
had sold to a cinematograph com
pany the rights of photographing me
at tho moment of proposing. That
settled It.”
