A Scriptural method of carving fowls when in secular company was claimed by a witty clergyman who, having been asked to carve one day, said, "Inas much as yon demand it, I will carve the fowl according to Biblical princi ples." "Yes," exclaimed the hostess, "act according to the Scriptures." The theologian therefore began the carv ing. The baron was tendered the head of the fowl, the baroness the neck, the two daughters a wing apiece and the two sons a first joint, the carver re taining the remainder. "According to what Interpretation do you make such a division?" Inquired the host of his gnest as he regarded the clergyman's heaping plate and the scant portions doled out to the family. "From an interpretation of my own," replied the clerical wit "As the mas ter of your house the head belongs to you by right the baroness, being most near to you, should receive the neck, which is nearest the head in the wings the young girls will recognize a sym bol of their noble thoughts, that fly from one desire to another as to the young barons, the drumsticks they have received will remind them that ttvy are resnoniibie for supporting "progressive' and "standpat" elements of the re- operation would not only serve no I good purpose but would be hurtful to in the state.

[Tipton Advocate.] We hope the Rock Island road will not overlook the local branch in this matter of installing motor car service. Recently such service has been placed on the branch connecting Iowa City and Muscatine, and assurance is given that just as soon as the experiment demon strates that the pLa-n is a feasible one it will be extended to other branches. The car being used is known as the Stover car, and it operated by gasoline motor power. It has a capacity of twenty passengers and a baggage com partment. This is the second experi ment of the kind made by the Rock Island and it looks as though the use of such cars is to become general on branch lines. CMt. Vernon Record.] The Rock Island seems to find the motor car successful. This ought to on from Tipton to Cedar Rapids in the morning, arriving at Cedar Rapids at about 7:30, and back in the evening at about 6:30, so as to give people along the line connection at Cedar Rapid's over the other roads.

His wife carefully counted the three children, saw that the dog and the birdcage were intact and took an in ventory of the bundles. "We seem to be ail here," she re marked.

This Is the opin ion expressed by L.- G. McPherson, lecturer at the Johns Hopkins uni versity and traffic expert with the waterways commission now In Europe gathering data for congress. "German rolling stock within Its limitations is quite good," he went on. "The carriages on the continental lines for the most part, however, still cling to the form of the traditional stage coach, and the freight cars are very small compared with those of the United States. Instead of 40 and 50-ton cars the average capacity in France and Belgium is ten and fifteen tons, and there are a few cars In Ger many carrying as much as 20 tons. The GerihanB aay that large cars would force many manufacturers to readjust their plants, whose loading and unloading facilUies are adapted to the smaller cars. "By keeping the ears down to the level of the small shipper they are hampering the enterprising and pro gressive producers. Small cars, how ever, keep up transportation charges, lor a 40-ton car can be hauled at a cost not greatly In excess of that of hauling a 15-ton car. German officials admit that their railroad rates are higher than those of Amerca. "In other words, the Germans hold back railroad development to the needs of the average business man, while in America the tendency is to reduce the unit of oest of production. This is aided by the use of large cars, and small shippers are forced to ad just their business accordingly. To handle the great volume of traffic In America the railroads have had to re sort to immense coal and ore cars, grain cars, furniture and meat cars.

The booking clerk was furnished with a volume, the pages of which were divided down the center by a perforat ed line, the outside half of each page was again divided into slips about four inches long by an inch "iii three-quar ters in width, on each of which was printed the name of the issuing sta tion spaces were provided in which the clerk had to write the destination, passenger's name, date of issue and the time the train was due to depart. One of these slips, duly filled in, was detached from the book and handed over to each would-be passenger in ex change for his fare. The traveler, having thus obtained his ticket, was passed on to the guard of the train by which he desired to travel. This official was provided with a kind of waybill on which he entered particulars of all his passengers in much the same way that a parcel is served nowadays. Incidentally, the similarity of treat ment did not always end there, the third elass passengers had to travel in an open carriage, frequently nothing more than a goods truck attached to a train which carried both passengers and goods, more or lesB indiscrimin ately.—Railway Magazine.
