ANOTHER TRIUMPH. | Why wére 538 persons killed by vehicles in New York year, while in the far larger area of London such accidents during the eame period numbered only 158? | The answer may be sought in many theories: in the iture of the streets, the efficiency of the police, the ex- of the driving. It is, however, to be found in superiority of our national characters of the pedes- ‘When our cockney cousins leave their offices they ly peel off their business with thelr office jackets. we start home we eagerly pull on new business with our overcoats, Where they loiter leth- along main streets we rush along them with energy. Where they heave slowly in sight side streets and alleys we debouch from them with @lectric swiftness. Where they pick their way deltb- mn across thoroughfares with their faculties dissi- in an observation of every hack and dray that we huri ourselves disdainfully into the heart of traffic, our attention concentrated upon more im- themes. Finally where they get across the number of accidents is but another triumph of mM energy over British inertia? COTTON CORNER CONSEQUENCES. ‘Following the cotton corner came the idle mills in gw England and the distress in Lancashire, where spin- f out of work were kept from starving by free soup Tt was predicted at the time by The Evening that as remote consequences of the manipulation and the goneral unsettlement of the market manufacturers would either be forced to make cot- | cloth at a loss or to exact a higher price for it. tse remote consequences are almost exactly realized ‘the report from Fall River that the mills are operat- on too narrow a margin to insure profit. And also B announced that the manufacturers of knit under- are going to put up their prices. Means that the public settlement day for the Bully s: ular operations has arrived and that will individua}ly be called on to contribute its'part of the speculators’ profits. ‘ mee assessment will be small, of course. But added to'the other small impositions of extra cost ranging > through the entire list of household eupplies it will help make a total of higher prices at which the consumer " May justifiably rebel. A dollar does not begin to go as " fares it went with him a year ago. And a disagreeable of the situation is that the arbitrary increase in Cost of a single article l!ke ol! or cotton goods or beef ‘Serves as a pretext for a general elevation all around. ‘The speculator's responsibility in cornering a neces- sity and wringing tribute from a nation of consumers i pot taken cognizance of by the law. So far from ‘being regarded as a criminal his operations not infre- evoke popular admiration because of the bold- business ability which characterize them. view of the far-reaching results of the dis- of trade which is thus occasioned there is a jponsibility which cannot be evaded.

To one man love may be merely an episode, a flower plucked by the wayside, and worn until faded, then cast aside readily for another quite as pretty in his eyes. ‘To another man, on the contrary, It may be as the breath of life, “bound with all ‘this heartstrings,” his cherished vine‘and fig tree under which he builds his bome, and the loss of which leaves him deso- late. One can measure feeling and emo- tion only by their visible effects, says Helen Oldfield in the Chicago Tribune. There have been men, not a fow, who, craving love, have counted all else worthless without {t, and finding the one precious drop lacking in the cup of Ife have cast the goblet from them and gone shrieking out into the dark un- known, cursing fate and defying the future, in mad despair at its absence. Fortunately for the race, men and women alike, such lovers are the excep- tion, There are many more men who love as well, but more sanely, who, de- nied their heart's desire, are henceforth bankrupt ¢n love, yet who live their lives as befits men and do thelr duty. Indeed, it seems sometimes as though the love of man were like the toy rub- | $ der balloon; let go of the string and it) & is off ta a jiffy, while, for yet another point of resemblance, there are loves which must not be kept in a too warm atmosphere lest they shrivel to nothing- neea In the hands of the older.

Naturally. the New Zealand farmers are not well disposed toward the. Kea parrot. The bird has further lost its power of fight, When it first arrived in New Zealand there were no mam + mals in the island, hence the bird did not need wings to escape from cats and other predaceous creatures, and es ite fruit food was to be obtained in plenty on the ground &® rarely used its wings. These, therefore, as generation sug. ceeded generation, became amaller and weaker until the. bird now cannot fly. a Record for Champagne. ‘A recent Monday was ‘record day" for champagne an@ {oysters in England—but not mixed.
