When he says that "the lines in this

stand for special privileges." <

According to the opinion of Mr.
Thorntqn, who presided at a confer
ence of the foreman tailors of Lon
don, men's dress will soon undergo
a great change and the present styles
•will give way to "more classic" gar
ments. Knee breeches and fancy
■waistcoats will be introduced, and
the superiority of these garments
over tc-day's long trousers and waist
coats will insure their popularity. A
Russian nobleman who visited Lon
don a few weeks ago said that he
cared little whether the style was in
troduced or not, he would adopt it.
Two things were necessary, he said,
"shapely calves and courage."' He
took with him forty-eight waistcoats
made of various patterns of embroid
ered silk.
Announcement has been made by
the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
Railway that it has completed a year
of operation without a fatal accident
to a passenger. This record Is for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1909,
in which approximately 20,000,000
passengers were carried. The record
is regarded, by the Chicago Daily
Netvs, as the more remarkable in
view of the company's statement that
its fast train from Chicago to Denver
showed a perfect score by being on
time at terminals every trip. During
the previous year the road carried
1,016,454,000 passengers one mile,
as shown by the annual report, so
that even if one passenger had been
killed the chances against fatal in
jury would have been over a billion
to one for each mile of road traveled
through eleven States. The company's
trains in that year covered 15,000,
000 miles.
of
A similar record is
shown by the Pennsylvania system
for the calendar year 1908.
Practical politicians, declares the
Boston Post, fail to see any of those
•widely advertised symptoms of re
turning prosperity. The "contract
graft" is threatened with paralysis
owing to enforced publicity of con
tract details. The postoffice payroll
Is ceasing to be fruitful for the faith
ful, owing to extensions of the civil
service. Even a picayuniah little
"graft" like a census taker's job has
been so syrrounded with conditions
by President Taft as to present few
opportunities for the bosses to act
the part of Lady Bountiful to faith
ful politicians in search of "something
easy." Time was when the jobs on
the census payroll formed one of the
recognized perquisites of politicians
of the party in power. Tfie new reg
ulations compel a census enumerator
or inspector to prove some better
qualification than that he "voted
right." This may compel a lot of
ward heelers to turn to picks and
shovels, or starve; but the public in
general ought to benefit by having a
census—for the first time, probably
—taken by competent men, with
some fair approach to accuracy.

I Railways
a
Defects Due to Their Mil-J
it ary Character and d
th e Empire* s Poverty < >
a / é
Three things must constantly be
kept in mind in order to obtain a
proper understanding of the Ger
man railway system. The first is
that German railways are part of the
scheme of national defence and ag
gression and an arm of the military
power, dominated and controlled by
the general staff as much as any oth
er -part of the German military ma
chine.
■Since 1870-71 considerable mileage
has 'been constructed throughout the
territory of the empire, but erye
cialjy along the western frontier,
solely from military considerations,
with almost no regard to the prob
ability of a successful exploitation
from a commercial point of view.
Great and costly passenger sta- -
tions have also been constructed at
various junction points in the west,
like Strasburg, Frankfurt and tMetz,
out of all proportion to the size and
traffic requirements of the cities
which they serve, with trainsheds
and platforms Inordinately long and
broad, lor the quick mobilization of
the army.
The second thing to remark, ac
cording to Moody's Magazine, is the
continuously necessitous condition
laquer. The em
never has much
practically
from the inception of their present
imperial undertaking the Germans
aegan to milk their railways and to
absorb the earnings of the prosper
ous lines for the benefit of the fed
eral treasury.
The results of such financial tac
tics are obvious. In the first place,
the property as a whole is not .prop
erly maintained; money that should
be spent on 'betterments, reconstruc
tion and rolling stock is diverted to
the State treasury or expended too
generously on the strategic lines. In
the next place the service is gener
J ally poor throughout the country,
taken as a whole, except as to a
few of the great lines.
Necessarily the lines connecting
the large towns must be decently
maintained and are fairly well op
erated. But aside from this the lines
are poor, the equipment meager and
the service slow, irregular and inef
ficient.
A third result is that the rates are
high, except as between certain
great commercial centres and on
through and export traffic. These
rates are very low and inasmuch as
the German lines have an enormous
through traffic, that makes the re
ported average rates of the entire
system seem low.
Operating expenses on German
railways are generally high. About
1900 the figures for the different
States ranged from CO per cent, to
78 per cent One reason why the
cost of operation is so large is that
the number of employees is exag
gerated.
Thus is inevitable under the ad
ministration by the State, because
as a matter of politics everybody
must be taken care of by the State
and as many as possible must have
employment on the railroads. Cer
tain non-oommissioned officers in
the army when their term of service
has expired have a right to employ
ment in the railway service and must
therefore have places found for
them.
As far as passenger traffic is con
cerned it may be said that in gen
eral in the first and second classes
one travels along the main lines very
comfortably in Germany. Of the
thiTd and fourth classes it is not
possible to say much toy way of
commendation. In the higher classes
the carriages are almost always
clean and the service and the ser
vants satisfactory.
The express trains make a fair
but not exceptional rate of speed.
The best trains running on the line
from Berlin to Hamburg, which is
probably the most representative
line in Germany, make the run of
286 kilometers, including three stops,
in three hours and twenty-two min
of the imperial exch
pire practically
monery. Accordingly,
utes, which works out about eighty
five kilometers per hour. This is a
straight line over a flat, level coun
try.
To an American there is a certain
amount of militarism in the opera
tion. In addition to the regular fare
one is called on to -pay a small ex
tra fee for his seat; this is collected
after the passenger enters the train,
for which he is given a seat with a
number. Here he is expected to re
main during the journey in a way
retry mach like a dog in a kennel.
Whatever criticism may properly
be made of German railway opera
tion It is not too much to say that
the defects of It are defeets of the
scheme, which is a had one, and not
of the personnel, which is a good
one. Nowhere Is there to toe found
a more convpetent or a more accom
plished general railway staff than in
Germany.

HABIT AMONG ANIMALS.

How the Horse Learns Tricks—Spar
rows Guessing at Numbers.
The horse, as the most stupid of
all the dumb creatures man has made
his friends, has been painstakingly
studied by E. T. Brewster. He is so
stupid that he can be taught any
thing—that is. any habit—and having
no mind of his own, can 'be Telied
an to do exactly as he is told. All
the authentic tricks, whatever the
details, are worked in this way:
The horse is taught by endless
repetitions some mechanical fcabiL A
?!ven signal, and he begins to paw
:he floor. Another signal, and he
stops. Press the proper button and
2 « takes a sponge and robs it over
a certain spot on a blackboard or
picks «p a card lying in a certain
position. The meaning of the act
exists for the spectator only. The
pawlngs count the answer to a prob
lem in addition, the card bears the
reply to a question; but the horse
does not know it.

!
He merely follows a blind habit
just as be will stop .when you say
"Whoa!" though you Interpolate
the word into your recitation of the
Declaration of Independence. The
reason the horse is so available for
this particular deception and so gen
erally useful to mankind is that he

pcssesses just the right degree of
stupidity.
If he were stupider he
would net be plastic enough to ac
quire convenient habits. If he were
cleverer he would acquire too many
habits and lead too much his own
life, like that particularly clever ani
mal the cat.
The 2,000 tests to which James P.
Porter of Indiana University sub
jected two English sparrows serve as
the type of all experiments with ani
mals counting. They proved beyond
question that the sparrows could not
count. After a bird had been given
its food 100 times in succession
from dish No. 5, in the next twenty
trials it went only nine times to the
proper place. (Moreover, after the
bird became pretty certain of the sit
uation of the desired dish when he
came to it on the wing, walking up
to it threw him all off again, while
if he started his flight from a point
to one side of his usual perch he
was likely to hit correspondingly to
one side of his objective point.
The sparrows (guessed numbers
better than most creatures v^ho have
been tested. They could not count
certainly even two. Neither instinct
nor reason is the key to the animal
mind, but habit. The animal forms
habits precisely as we do, and like
ourselves stores up as habits many
common experiences of life. The
difference^îà that what for us is a

ANIMALS PREDICT QUAKES.
Dogs Deserted a Chilean Town—
Crocodiles Leave the Orinoco.
Domestic animals seem to be es
pecially susceptible to the approach
of the quake. In 1825 in Chile every
dog fled from the city before the in
habitants perceived the faintest hint
of the impending catastrophe. In
1867 in Java immediately before the
earthquake every rooster crowed
shrilly and left the doomed town. In
1868 in the city of Iquique the terri
fic disaster was announced many
hours (beforehand by great swarms of
screaming gulls and other sea birds
which flew inland.^ On the Orinoco
crocodiles invariably' leave the river
on the imminence of earthquake.
Five days before the earthquake
that destroyed Elike in 373 B. C., is
said to have driven to the surface of
the earth mice, moles, weasels, ser
pents that nest underground. Before
the Sicilian earthquake of 1783 ani
mals came to the surface, as well
as various creatures of the sea, es
pecially fish, in stupendous numbers,
among them also such as are found
only in the greatest depths of the
water. The unrest of the animals
also heralded the coming of the re
cent Sicily and Calabria seismic dis
asters.
The basis of this remarkable in
stinct of animals, reptiles, birds and
fish Is held by many observers to be
responsible for their early perception.
Others attribute to these creatures
an unknown sixth sense, in its way
as enigmatic as the sense of locality
In many animals. Others say it is
the sense of hearing or their sensi
bility to agitation that enable ani
mals to notice the effect of the oc
currences in the interior of the earth
long before mankind with courser
senses can perceive it.
But in this case has arisen the ob
jection that the delicacy of the ani
mal senses exceeds that of the finest
seismographic apparatus. The ani
mals can foretell earthquakes with a
probability that approaches certainty,
and we hy no means have satisfactor
ily explained their superiority to
mankind ii^ this regard.—Chicago Tri

Dress for the Equestrienne.
The fair riders who take their own
horses into the ring must follow a
set of rigidly prescribed rule3 in
dress. The horse show judges are
punctiliously particular that every de
tail of formal horse show etiquette
•be observed and a gray habit worn
in the evening would be very bad
form indeed. The fair rider must
also use a side saddle, no matter what
her personal preference may be. In
the evening she must wear a well
fitting black melton or broadcloth
habit, black boots, a high silk hat
and white or very light neckwear.
In the afternoon she may, if she
chooses, don a gray or checked habit,
tan boots and a more informal hat.

As everyone knows, C. W. Post, c!
Battle Creek, Michigan, is not only a
maker of breakfast foods, but he is a
strong individualist, who believes
that the trades-unions are a menace
to the liberty of the country.
Believing this, and being a "nat
ural-born" scrapper for the right, as
he sees it, Post, for several years past,
has been engaged in a ceaseless war
fare against "the Labor Trust," as
he likes to call it.
Not being able to secure free and
untrammeled expression of his opin
ions on this subject through the regu
lar reading pages of the newspapers
he has bought advertising space for
this purpose, just as he is accustomed
to for the telling of his Postum
"story," and he has thus spent hun
dreds of thousands of dollars in de
nouncing trades-unionism.
As a result of Post's activities the
people now know a whole lot about
these organizations: how they are
honeycombed with graft, how they
obstruct the development of legiti
mate business, curtail labor's output,
hold up manufacturers, graft upon
their own membership, and rob the
public. Naturally Post Is hated by
the trades-unionists, and intensely.
He employs no union labor, so they
can not call out his men, and he de
fies their efforts at boycotting his pro
ducts. The latest means of "getting"
Post i3 the widespread publication of
the sto;y that a car which was re
cently wrecked in transmission was
found to be loaded with empty pea
nut shells, which were being shipped
from the South to Post's establish
ment at Battle Creek.
This canard probably originated
with President John Fitzgerald, of
the Chicago Federation of Labor,
who, it is said, stated It publicly, as
truth.
Post comes back and gives Fitzger
ald the lie direct. He denounces
Fitzgerald's statement as a deliberate
falsehood, and underhanded and
cowardly attempt to injure his busi
ness, having not the slightest basis in
fact. As such an effort it must be
regarded. It is significant that this
statement about "the peanut shells"
is being given wide newspaper pub
licity. In the "patent inside" of an
Eastern country paper I find It, and
the inference naturally is that labor
unionites are Insidiously spreading
this lie.
An institution (or a man) which
will resort to moral intimidation and
to physical force, that will destroy
machinery and burn buildings, that -
will maim and kill if necessary to ef
fects its ends, naturally would not i
hesitate to spread falsehood for the
sa m«f purposes.
We admire Post. While we have
no enmity toward labor unions, sc
long as they are conducted in an hon
est, "ltve-and-let-live" kind of a way.
we have had enough of the tarred
end of the stick to sympathize thor
oughly with what he is trying to do.
He deserves support. A man like
Post can not be killed, even with lies
They are a boomerang every time.
Again we know , for hasn't thls'Vea
pon, every weapon that could be
thought of, been used (and not sim
ply by labor unions) to put us out ol
business, too?

The first time a man falls in love
he thinks he will never get over it;
after that, confesses the Now York
Press, he always knovys he will.
An optimist, defines the Pittsburg
Dispatch, is a man who just discov
ers the discomforts of each season
in time to be glad that it is over.
The man who thinks that Sunday
is the only day to lay up treasure in
heaven, declares the Chicago Tri
bune, spends the week mortgaging it.
In the sweet by and by, prophesies
the Springfield Union, we probably
will know' whether the Sugar Trust
has discovered a way of applying the
bent pin to the scales of justice.
The dogmatic wisdom with which
an attorney sometimes undertakes to
express himself, explains the Wash
ington Star, is simply professional
energy and should not be confused
with exaggerated ego.
A woman has been appointed to
the chair of mathematics in the Uni
versity of California, but the sterner
sex, boasts the New York World, will
still continue to furnish trainers for
the nine and eleven.
Most of the pleasure of living
comes from the ties of friendship
which bind us to one another, but
some of the most unhappy people,
interjects the Christian Register, are
those who make overmuch of the good
opinion of their fellows.
Says the Boston Daily Globe: War
parties in any country should not be
encouraged, particularly when a na
tion has a profitable commerce with
other countries and when there is the
best of commercial feeling. Canada
should save its money and put it into
the development of its remarkable
manufacturing and commercial re
sources, which will soon require all
the new railroads now in process of
construction.
Walt Whitman's birthplace has
been offered for sale, but no body of
Ameirican admirers came forward to
buy it. Here, thinks the Providence
Journal, is a chance for the English
men, who seem to regard the* author
of "Leaves of Grass" more highly than
we do, to make a graceful acknowl
edgment of the thousands of Ameri
can dollars that have been spent in
purchasing or "restoring" places of
note in England.
Dr. Thomas P. Prout, of Summit,
N. J., at the recent meeting of the
Medical Society of New Jersey, pre
sented his views on "Medical Expert
Testimony." In his paper Dr. Prout
said that the "befogging methods and
truth perversion of court procedure
at the present time were often use
less in attaining the ends of justice."
There were, he said, several ele
ments in the court procedure whi:
were handicaps in reaching the trut
in cases involving expert testimony.
"The physician's proper ideal," said
the doctor, "in the pursuit of his vo
cation is truth," but, he added, "on
the other (hand, the ideal of the prac
tising attorney is something very dif
ferent."
The Poe cult, or craze, seems, ac
cording to the Philadelphia Ledger,
to have reached an ultimate climax
in Mr. Morgan's purchase of a copy
of the pamphlet edition of two of
Poe's tales for the absurd price of
$3800. It is not to the point to re
call that this is probably more than
Poe received at any time for all of
his tales, a larger sum than was ever
within his reach. Though first edi
tions of Poe are just now a fad
among collectors, the present prjee
is really not dependent upon the ti
tle or contents of the pamphlet; it
is dependent wholly on its rarity. If
it had been a more substantial book
more copies would have been pre
served and could be easily picked rp
in the shops. The preservation of
this shaabv pamphlet of 1S42. pub
lished at a "levy," or its timely dis
covery. -was an accident. If anybody
should find another it would not bring
such a price,
unique, it is worth whatever anybody
will give for it, and Mr. Morgan does
not count the cost when toe covets a
rarity, whether it be any American
first edition or an Italian "primitive.

The game of football as played in
recent years, with disastrous conse
quences to many players, is not sport
in the true and best sense of the
term. It is desirable, of course, ad
mits the Baltimore Sun, that the
young men at our military and naval
academies should have athletic train
ing. It is good for them in every
way when tjie training is scientific,
wholesome, and In moderation. The
same is true of all students in col
leges and universities. Physical ex
ercise in the open air and in gymnasi
ums has a distinct value. It makes
for that most valuable of combina
tions, the sound body and the sound
mind. But, while it is a good thing
to develop the muscles of our young
athletes, to give them physical stam
ina and confidence in themselves, it
Is not desirable in any point of vilw
