It was a Turkish rug, lying on tho perfectly wnxod, hardwood floor, In a J'nH whero n&atnoss Boomed to rolgn nlcng with all tho appointments of wealth. JJnt thoro was that almost1 impor- ceptlblo dust. How did It como thoro? ir you had oars that could hear Us voices It would toll. you. It would nay that It had clutched n fold on tho beautiful lady's gown and como In from tho street. It was a beautiful gown as woll as a beautiful ladya tnllor-nindo gown, nnd Its fashionable bins flounco trailed stylishly on the ground. Everything was stylish about tho lady, from her fair face, with rather deep circles below tho oyos, to her Blonder nnd handsomo walking Bhoos. Sho walked trailing hor gown properly, dust or no dust. Indeed, sho Ignored tho dust of tho street; but will tho dust Ignoro hor? Lot us listen, if sho will not, for this almost ImpercoptlbH dust moveB and nets with fearful force, and If wo listen posRibly wo may understand Its language. Soon aftor coming in on tho beauti ful lady's gown, other stops followed and other gowns helped to movo tho dust along farther into tho house; but it had n fancy for tho beautiful lady. Her frallnesB nttractqd it and It fol lowed hor to tho bed chamber. Her feet had never trod tho loathsome precincts whence it camo, but It camo to hor on her gown. Soon there came to tho chamber n Ilttlo child, a Bwcet, rosy chorub. In Its romping It stirred tho dust about. Then tho dust began to bo sepa rated, being formed of many particles, nnd theso talked among themselves. As thoy talked they dnnccd back nnd forth, wnltzlng, swirling, capering, with overy motion, of tho child and Us mamma, tho bev ul lady. - A scientist could havo understood thorn if ho had caught somo of them under his microscope Ho would havo calldd thorn "germB." With what alarm ho would havo rccognlzod tho diphtheritic, and with what dismay would ho have seen tho tuberculous germ approaching tho frail lady. Back and forth, dancing, capering, waltzing, tho gorras kept tlnio while baby, In its mother's arms, said, as thousands of other Ilttlo ones wcro saying "Now I lay mo down to sleep, I pray tlio Lord my soul to keop; If I should die beforo I wako. I pray tho Lord my soul to take." This baby was saying it for tho last time. When -night camo again, thousands of Ilttlo voices sent up the baby pray ers, but this ono wns gasping out Us Ilttlo life on mamma's bosom de stroyed by a germ. A yellow card at tho front door wnrncd all comers against diphtheria. Tho beautiful lady vainly sought hoalth for a year or moro, then found rest "beyond tho sorrow and tho part ing." "Broken hearted," It was said. "Found death In tho dust of Iho street," said tho microscope A vic tim of tho long skirt. Fashion and Consumption. In all American cities and most of tho larger towns promiscuous expec toration is prohibited. Thero aro or dinances and rules against spitting In public conveyances, on tho floors of assembly halls and on tho sidewalks. Of necessity, however, this cannot bo prevented In tho gutters nnd on the pavomonta. By educating tho tuberculosis pa tient himself in regard to his duty to his fellow citizen much moro can be done. A careful consumptive is a good citizen; a careless consumptive is an enomy to society and tho state. Even with tho civil and self-imposed precautions, tho dust of tho highway and crossings is teeming with various diseaso germs. It Is practically Im possible to eliminate theso beds of 111th. In tho cleanest streets Buch col onies of germs nro present. Tho uso of long, drngglng skirts on tho average highway Is tho height of 'folly. It Is worse. It is absolutely dangerous. The sweeping cloth picks kip dust nnd damponed particles car irylng tubercular germs. They aro thus transplanted Into tho very house .hold. In this simply yet sadly offec rtlvo way, the children, so carefully .guarded, aro exposed to tho dreaded plague. Tho entire family, satisfied with their fancied security, are stunned whon tuberculosis claims one of tholr loved ones. It may not strike tho family circles. Tho household servants may bo af fected.' Many of tho doaths of domes tics havo their explanation. The mis tress, after a shopping tour, leaves her mud-bordered skirt for tho maid to cleon. In the cloud of dust arising from tho brush tho fatal bacillus lurks. Tho girl, already weakoned from too long hours Indoors, suc cumbs. A few weeks later she is forced to stop work and waste away In hopeless dependence on hor over burdened family or at public exponso. Another girl is easly obtained nnd the careless mistross never suspects .any connection between her fooish fashion and tho doomed domestic's Bart fate. Expectoration on tho streets can never bo stopped. The streets cannot bo kept clean. But this can bo done- every woman should wear senslblo skirts entirely clearing tno ground.

Wo havo heard much about tho American stomach and tho American nerves, but wo aro Just awakening to n discovery that there Is being rapidly developed a form of heart diseaso which, If not peculiar to America, may at lonst bo said to bo moro prevalent In tills country than In any other part of tho world. Tho heart-weakness re sulting from tho uso of tobacco nnd alcohol and from a sedentary life on tho ono hand, and, extremely violent exertion on tho other hand, is no long er a raro condition, but has como to bo one of the most common affections with which tho physician lias to deal. A largo proportion of tho men reject ed In tho army examinations aro re fused on account of henrt weakness. A largo proportion of tho public men who die suddenly dio as a result of tho falluro of tho heart. Tho sarao may bo said also of many of tho cases In which tho causo of death Is reported to bo pneumonia, typhoid fe ver and other affections in which spe cial strain is brought to bear upon tho heart, and In which tho falluro of tho organ to meot tho emergency 1b ono of tho most common causes of death. Tho cigar, tho clgarctto and tho plpo aro probably the most common causo of this growing frequency of cardiac af foctionB; but tho neglect of physical exercise, overeating, tho uso of condl monts and excesses of all sorts aro also to n largo degreo responsible for tho rapid incicnse of this grave mal ady.

Flfer and Cockerell Before Senate Committee. WASHINGTON Intorstato Com merce Commissioners Francis M. Cockroll and Joseph W. Flfer wero among tho witnesses before tho senate committee on Interstate commerce, whoso Investigation of railroad rat03 has almost drawn to a closo. Commis sioner Flfer spoko of rebates and rato cutting and said they wero induced by railroad men distrusting each other. Rates, ho said, should be mado by' tho railroads in tho flrcc pjace, but should bo Biibjcct to revision. Ho said that tho commission would adjust a rato complained or in accordaueo with rates or. llko commodities in othor sections under llko conditions. Ho thought tho adjustment of tho long and short haul difficulties should bo left to the commission. Ho believed that tho power of rato regulation If given to the commission would not be exorcised very often, as tho roads would bo careful not to get into trouble with tho commission when changing rates. Tho commission, ho ndded, would havo iower to lower or raise rates or provent discriminations. Commissioner Fifer spoko of tho dan ger of government ownership unless thero woro just" laws justly adminis tered. "Former United States Senator Cock roll of Missouri, now a member of tho commission, said ho would leavo tho origination of rates to railroads, giv ing tho commission power to condemn a rate found to bo unreasonable and to fix another rato in Its place, to tako effect Immediately. Tho railroads, ho contended, should havo tho right of appeal to tho courts, and tho latter should dctermlno whether tho railroad rato was unreasonable or tho commis sion's rate unreasonable. If congress shwild enact a law to this effect, ho said, tho courts would tako jurisdic tion of rates to tho extent of deciding such questions. Ho would make tho railroads rcsponslblo for Icing and other charges of private car linos. Commissioner Cockrell cited a num ber of cases whero decisions of lower courts sustaining tho commission in rato matters havo been reversed by tho supremo court. Ho did this to show that the judiciary was divided on thoso rato enses. In one case ho pointed out that Secrotary Taft was a member of tho court of appeals which sustained tho commission. S. H.

Making railroad rates Is llko play ing a gamo of checkers or chess. Com munities to bo benefitted, producers, manufacturers or shippers to be aided represent tho pieces used. Every pos slklo movo is studied for Its effect on the general result by skilled traf fic managers. A false movo In tho making of freight rates may mean tho ruin of a city, of a great manufactur ing interest, of an agricultural com munity. Railroads strive to build up all theso so that each may havo an equal chanco In the sharp competi tion of business. So sensitive to this rivalry aro the railroads that In order to build up business along tholr lines they frequently allow tho shipper 1.0 practically dictate rates. Rato mak ing has been a matter of development; of mutual concessions for mutual benefit That is why the railroads of tho United States havo voluntarily mado freight rates so much lower In this country than they aro on tho government-owned and operated rail ways of Europe and Australia that they aro now tho lowest transporta tion rates in the world.
