With Railways.
Washington. Oct. 23.—The existenei
of exclusive contracts between rail-

tract with the Armour ear lines t<
use cars of this company exclusively
or the railroad would not transport

Mayfield, a seaman on the I’nitec
Stau-s steamer Baltimore writes from
Chemulpo. Korea, to his father at

harbor a German cruiser saluted the
Japanese flag. "When the old Balti-

Korean flag tip to her foremast and
gave the International salute with 21
guii«. We also decorated the Balti-
more in honor of the emperor of Korea
and kept the Korean flag floating at
our aftermast all day. That shows
how I'ncle Sam appreciates the Japs
taking possession of Korea.

marine captain whipped te:: of them,

WINDOW CURTAINS TELL TALES.
Sample* of the Chuacter of Inmates
of the House-
Hid you know you ran tell a good
deal alKiut character from window cur-
tains asks the Pittsburg Dispatch. -X
woman who lias been running around
hunting a housemaid says -lit knew as
soon as she saw the front of a house
whether the person within who had
advertised for a place would answer
the purpose or not. There were houses
with dirty curtains of cheap lai e.
looped back with soiled and tangled
strings; houses with filthy window
panes and no curtains at all houses
where the curtains made a feeble if
fort to keep up with the tawdry style,
and houses where the glass was clear
and the curtains poor but spotless
And in all cases the inmates bore out
the first impression. "Tin woman 1 fit.
ally got came from a house where tin
sltades were green and clean, and
pulled exactly even distances across
the signless window panes. And I
knew before I went In how orderly- the
room would be and how clean ami neat
a person sin would bo herself "
Husbands and Wives.
It Is u custom too common with

A. T." contributor. The wife knows
nothing—has not even an idea of the
amount of her husband's income,
whither it is to be counted by linn-
dreds or thousands. If an unniarri'd
woman works, she may go and boldly
demand her wages; but a good wife
naturally feels a dt liescy about having
her expenditure go beyond her hu •
hand's means. Yet how is she ?u
avoid tills unless her husband giv -.
her sortie idea of his circumstances?
