CO. it n-4 A efore Consolidation By EDWIN A L. (Copyright, by J. B. Upplncott Co) I "Yea; the pleasantest discomforts and the most enjoyable annoyances of travel are fast disappearing," the elderly drummer reflected sadly.

"Even here in the west, where in the old days apparently inexhaustible herds of trouble followed every train, already the most interesting species of disturbance are practically extinct, and these great through lines and vestibule limlteds are exterminating the rest with terrible rapidity. The picturesque uncertainty, too, the individuality, and all the personal traits, which so clearly distinguished the old roads, have all been lost and obliterated in thus sure and methodical, but void and expressionless, progress of the modern train. "There was a time, gentlemen," the old timer harked back proudly, "before these grasping corporations consolidated all the personality out of the little lines, when a man could wake up and know at once, from the characteristic of the single jolt that woke him, precisely what line he was on. There were distinct peculiarities which we old traveling men soon learned and treasure yet. Why, only last trip when that earthquake threw me out of bed in a Colorado hotel, it sprained my wrist so naturally and skinned my shins so familiarly that it was half an hour before I realized I was not on the oldr Louisiana Western.

Whereas if it had been my left wrist, instead, and the skin had been scraped from the calves, I'd have known I was "The most individual road of them all, however," the traveling man shifted quickly, "and the one whose peculiar traits most endeared it to the old fraternity, was, I think, the old Arkansas It ran through that section of the country where all locomotives carry condensers it makes the inhabitants so nervous to "I Got It the First Time I Went Over the Road." have a water-tank around, even if it is understood that the contents are reserved strictly for engines. The trains gentlemen, we once hired a photographer to take a picture of the 'Cannon-Ball Express' at full speed. He gave it a three-minute exposure, and, in actual fact, gentlemen, the motion of the train hardly blurred the negative. Wouldn't have blurred it at all, photographer claimed, if he hadn't taken it on the down grade. "The officials of the road, however, were very conscientious.

If thet trains wouldn'4 fit the schedule they were determined that, whatever happened, the schedules should fit the trains. They did everything; but, no matter how much time they gave, somehow the trains always took more, and they were worse off than before. Even left the m. and the p. m.

off the hours announced for arrival of trains; and that did fix it so trains could never be more than six hours from schedule taking advantage of the figuring both way. Finally, however, they hit it so that no matter what happened the trains couldn't get off. Instead of Train No. 5 leaves Ozark ....9 a.m. Arrives Jackson ..2 p.

Women laugh too little. Whether this is due to tLeir lack of humor or to childhood's training in gentle manners may be questioned. Certain it is that a hearty laugh, in a woman's voice is rare music. An audience of women rustles with amusement, but seldom laughs. A group of girls giggle, but do not laugh.

A woman reading the most brilliantly humorous story seldom gets beyond a smile. When Sir Walter Besant, in his clever skit, "The Revolt of Man," pictured the time in the twentieth century when women should have usurped all power -political, ecclesiastical and social- lie shrewdly noted that laughter had died out in England; and when men revolted against their feminine ty-rants, they came back to their own with peals of laughter. A Paris doctor has recently opened a place for the laughter cure. It is a private Institution, and large fees are charged. The patients sit around a room, and at a give nmoment begin to smile at each other.

The smile broadens to a grin, and at a signal to a peal of laughter. Two hours a day of thi healthful exercise is said to cure thw worst cases of dyspepsia. But whether the habit of laughing easily and naturally could be acquired by this process is doubtful. Montreal Herald. RETARD PROGRESS OF MEXICO Immense Landed Estates, Which Own-, era Refuse to Subdivide, Are Hindrance to Country.

It has been said that 400 families in Mexico control the bulk of the land. We know that two, those of Terazzas and Del Eio, own between some 10,000,000 to 12,000,000 acres in the states of Chihuahua and Du-rango. The Terazzas estate is of 7,000,000 acres. On it a herd of cattle is maintained. Express trains on the Central are hours in crossing it, and several railroad stations are located within its borders.

These enormous "haciendas" contribute practically nothing to the support of Mexico, and, because their owners will not subdivide them into workable units, it is difficult to obtain the proper sort of immigration on which Mexico would nourish agriculturally. It is the idea of the advanced party in Mexico to tax these lands both for the revenue which they ought to be yielding, but more directly, to impel the "hacien-dos" to split up their estates. Mexico will never make much of a showing until this ancient form of land ownership is Charles F. Speare, in the Keview of Reviews.

Should Control Rivers. E.

Over 100,000 of these are victims of the ignorance and carelessness of their mothers, therefore an effort is being made to get mothers among the poorer class to take an interest in and learn the rudiments of the care and proper feeding of children. Schools for mothers have been started in several parts of London. They are on the same plan as the one which was started in Ghent seven years ago by a Socialist doctor. Their value is shown after even the. short trial they have had.

The honorary medical officer, a woman doctor, attends two afternoons a week to examine babies and their mothers' and to give advice on their feeding, clothing and general management. The babies are weighed every fortnight and a record of their condition Is kept. Mothers who come regularly join the ciud ana pay iwo cents a roixnignt, ana they try hard to follow instructions in regard to feeding and clothing babies. The doctor in charge found irregularity of feeding the most common fault and bronchitis the most common ailment. The great question now in regard to these schools is shall they be made a part of state education or shall they struggle along supported by' voluntary offerings and always in need of funds? Fear that this is a Socialist measure has aroused opposition to the state's having anything to do with Back to Nature Colony.

A very curious pamphlet is being circulated describing a new German sect, whose whole creed is to go without clothes. They do this from sanitary and moral purposes. They have established themselves as a colony at a clearing in a forest about 20 miles from Berlin, and in the immediate vicinity of this lonely spot the stranger will casually come across men, women and children divested of every rag of clothing. The police are disinclined to interfere so long as they keep to a very limited area.
