Commenting upon the above the Ari-
zona Republican SBys:
While it would be manifestly unjust to
expect the Pullman company to lower its
rates in this section to a parity with those
operating in the thickly populated dis-
tricts of the east, still a reduction of say
100 per cent would leave a handsome
margin and be appreciated by a much bled
and bleeding public. The enormous for*
tune which the Pullman concern is mak«
ing would suggest in itself that a more
equal arrangement might be made.
It may be manifestly unjust and all
that sort of thing. But dots the Pullman
company treat the public any better?
During a recent trip to El Paso from Col
orado we learned that the Pullman rate
from La Junta to El Paso was #5. Yet to
our surprise a fellow passenger gave
the information that buying only to Las
Vegas and thence to El Paso, it would
cost a dollar less- Such was the case.
The Pullman fare from La Junta to LaB
Vegas was $1 and from Las Vegas to El
Paso $3. Here is one dollar stole on a
through rate,
But the worst feature of this “manis
fest injustice” cn the part of the Pullman
company was the fact that the Pullman
conductor would give no information to
those in his car in regard to these rates,
He would neither say that such was or
was not the case. The passenger was
asked to try it and find out.
Here in Texss such abuses are very
numerous and of daily occurrence. The
Pullman rate from El Paso to Dallas is
St 50, an ex irbitant [charge for one
night’s trip. Yet you can buy to Fort
Worth for 84 and it will 1 only cost 25
cents thence to Dallas, a saving of 25
cents.
The Texas commission wants to take
Mr. Pallman in charge. He extorts money
from his patrons with impunity. It is
time to put a stop to the abuses of his
company. Not only Texas but tho whole
country will rejoice when our commis*.
sion regulates the Pullman company.

An exchange says: “It has lone been
supposed that Galera, a village in Peru,
15,635 feet above the sea, was the high-
est inhabited place in the world. Mr.
Arthur Pearce, an engineer who has
been prospecting and making meteorolo-
gical observations in the Andes, has dis-
covered two mining camps that are even
higher. These are Arevichiary, 17,950
feet, and Muccapata, 16,153 feet and
more above sea level, each with a pop-
ulation of miners averaging 200 the year
around. H'gh as same of the points are
on the Panama-Oryara Railroad of Peru,
of which the Galera tunnel is the sum-
mit, that road will be surpassed by a
narrowguage railroad now under con-
struction to connect with it. This. wheD
completed, will have a length of eeventy-
five kilometers and a maen a'titude of
15,850 fest. In one of the mines a tun-
nel is being driven at a higher elevation
than Galera, which, when completed,
wili be fully as long if not longer than
that tunnel, This work is being done by
means of compressed air brakes, and the
tunnel is lighted throughout by electri-
city. The work comprises ssvcral mov-
ing camps, each in itself a center, The
concern is one of the largest mining con-
cerns in the world under one private pro-
prietorship acd management, if, indeed,
it is not the largest. To facilitate the
work of the five centers they are con-
nected by teliphoDe lines passim? over
twosummits of mere thin 17 000 feet
eicb, the mean height of the lines being
nty -flve cents per line first insertion; 15 cents
^subsequent insertion. For those having ad
•raising contracts, locals will be inserted at 10
•ants per line, each insertion. Contracts for 1000
lines to be taken in 3 months made at 5 cents per
line each Insertion. Unchanged locals, by the

SLEEPING CAR RATES.
We are glad to see the newspapers
take up the question of sleeping car
rates. The state cf New York has
passed some legislation on this subject
which may not be necessary in Texas as
the railroad commission may have full
power to stop all abusis. The New
York law says:
“Any patentee of a sleeping car or his
legal representative may place hie car
upon any railroad with the assent of the
corporation owning or operating such
road, and may charge for the use of the
same in all cases, to each passenger oc-
cupying it, forty cents, which shall en-
title the passenger to the use of a berth
for one hundred miles; and at tbe rate of
three mil's for every mile, but in no
case shall the charge exceed eight cents
The railroad corporation permitting the
use of any such car shall be liable for
damages for injuries received therein to
the same extent at if received in ita own
car and it shall keep sufficient first-class
over 16 000 fret.

If we take any moderately large insect
—say a wasp or a hornet—we can see,
even with the naked eye, that a series of
small spotlike marks run along the side
of the body. These apparent spots,
which are eighteen or twenty in num-
ber, are in fact the apertures through
which air is admitted into the system,
and are generally formed in such a man-
ner that no extraneous matter can by
any possibility find entrance.
Sometimes they are furnished with a
pair of horny caps, which can be opened
and closed at the will of the insect; in
other cases they are densely fringed with
stiff interlacing bristles forming a filter,
which allows air, and air alone, to pass;
but the apparatus, of whatever charac-
ter it may be, is so wonderfully perfect
in its actions that it has been found im
possible to injure the body of a dead in
sect with even so subtle a medium as
spirits of wine, although the subject was
first immersed in the fluid mid then
placed beneath the receiver ot an air
pump The apertures in question com-
municate with two ■ large breathing
tubes, which extend through the entire
length of the body
From these main tubes are given off
innumerable branches, which run in all
directions and continually divide and
subdivide, until a wonderfully intricate
network is formed pervading every part
of the structure and penetrating even to
the antennas.— Lutheran Observer.
Effect of Cold and Accident on Hair.
Arctic voyagers and other travelers in
frigid regions have frequently been sub-
ject to canities as the effect of cold, a
circumstance quite in keeping with the
fact that animals, such as the bear, fox
and lemming, inhabitants of the ex-
treme north, have hirsute coverings of
white. The writer was once acquainted
with a man named Sweeny, formerly a
sailor, whose hair was jet black except a
snow white tuft about the middle of the
frontal suture, where the scalp had been
taken off through a fall from a mast on
shipboard. Where burns and severe
local inflammations have resulted in a
loss of a portion of the scalp, the injured
part has similarly been covered in many
cases with a growth of white hair.—
Hyland (J. Kirk in New York Times.
When u Man Flatters.
As many sirens as there are, so many
are their ways of charming There are
assaults and there are sieges, open bat-
tles and ambuscades. The platonic af-
fection stalking horse is one of the most
frequeut. There is ever danger present
when a woman listens with patience to
a man's talk about himself Woman
flatters man on the qualities by which
she enslaves him A woman never tells
a man that his will is of iron, save when
she is bending it to her own uses. Some
are attracted by the simplicity of a char-
acter. but to many the difficulty of un-
derstanding a character constitutes its
greatest perhaps us only, charm, so
that when once they have probed it
they throw it asub- as of no more inter-
est,—Murray's Magazine. *
