DUBTlfesS American railroads will take ex ception to the figures compiled by a Ger man railroad official , which show that American roads are more deadly than any others in the world. Statistics do lie , in spite of the proverb , but there is no gain saying the fact that in the single fiscal year of 1902 876,500 persons were injured in the United States , of whom 00,000 were employes , and 9,800 were killed , of whom 3,000 were employes. These figures , compared with others for foreign coun tries , show that In the United States forty times as many were injured as In Russia , twenty-two times as many as In Italy , twenty times as many as in England , eight times as many as in Belgium , four times as many as in Switz erland , and twice as many as in Germany. > ut France Injures fewer passengers than any country in the world. However American railroads may explain these facts , It is certain that railroading in the United States is unnecessarily - . necessarily perilous to passengers as well as to employ es. We shall no attempt to say what measures shouldx be taken to increase the security of railroad employes , but as to the security of passengers it is a different matter. The block signal system has been proved to be almost an absolute guaranty of safety , but it is in use on-only a very small part of the railroads of the country , and even so it has been shown of late that it has been disregarded by railroad officials with great sub sequent loss of life , But if It were universally installed and made to be observed railroad accidents would soon become very few and many thousands of lives would be saved. Des Moines News. i PROSPERITY AND THE SURPLUS. HE national government closed the fiscal year on June 30 , with a surplus of receipts over expenditures amounting to nearly nine ty million dollars a larger surplus than has been obtained for several years. The receipts from customs and from in ternal revenue taxes have been unusually large , indicating that an unusual amount of imported goods has been consumed during the year , and that the demand for those articles on which an internal revenue tax is levied has been great. These are signs of pros perity , of the existence of ready money , which the people are spending freely. On the other hand , the problem of a large surplus is perplexing. When there is a deficit , the necessity of economy is impressed on every Congressman ; but if there are many millions of unappropriated money in the treasury , every Representative wishes to have some of it set aside for improvements in his district , the officers of the navy urge larger appropriations for warships , and the army officers propose an extension of the coast de fenses. ! It is likely that bills will be introduced in Congress next winter appropriating ten times the amount of the surplus. They will come from Democrats as well as from Republicans. The Democrats are likely to intro duce , also , bills intended to reduce taxation in such a way as to bring the revenues and exuenditures more nearly to an equality. However desirab'j ' the passage of such bills may be , it is not easy uuder the present financial system to draft a satisfactory plan. Instead of making appropriations and then levy ing a tax to meet "Who is your unfailing friend with he fat memorandum book ? " inquired be cashier. "Who told you he was my friend ? " sked the bill clerk. "I inferred it from your joyous ex- ression when you saw him sitting in rait for you on the bench. ' ' "If your references hadn't been any etter than your inferences are you'd ever have got the job you're holding , " aid the bill clerk. "Is he a protege of yours ? " asked the ashier. MA how much ? " "I beg your pardon , " said tbe cashier. I should have said protegy. Don't get , eh ? Is he some worthy young man i whose career you are interested and o whom youextend assistance of a ecuniary nature ? I don't wish to pry , ut I saw you hand him what appear- d to be a two spot Charity is a beau- ful thing the rarest gem in virtue's asket very rare in a young man. I otlee he calls around about every lonth. " "You're a great noticer , " said tbe bill lerk. < "I've noticed that. Did you ver happen to notice how much fool- soness ! you talk ? " "He looks like a collector , " observed be cashier. "Well , I guess you ought to know retty well what they look like , " said he bill clerk. "Don't be snappy , my son , " said the ashier. "There Isn't any disgrace in aving a collector call around. He light simply be coming to collect an iii- tallment ! on a diamond engagement Ing. When a young man gets engaged naturally presents his finnacee with ring. If he is a whole-souled and enerous young man and thinks 'a great eal of the young woman he wants to et her a good one and If his accumu- ited capital is insufficient for the ezi- encies of the situation , why should he iot , if you please , try the installment Ian ? " "Why notr said the bill clerk non- o'mmlttally. "Of course , " said the cashier. "It's he finest thing in the land. When you et your ring paid for you can buy a tou 4 on the installment plan and fur- the -amount to be spent , the rate of taxation is fixed , a.'id tlie revenue produced under it depends on condi tions outside of the control of Congress.

N the press and hurry of daily living few of us realize what triumphs man is constantly making over nature. What mention , for ex ample , have you seen of the news that the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company will soon begin doing business regularly between America and Europe , across tbe Atlantic ocean ? Yet here is an achievement that deserves to be celebrated by the whole world , and it is no more noticed than the passing of a trolley car. Ten years ago a man who would have said that the day would come when a iman could sit in this country and communicate intsantly with a man in England , with no wire , even , collecting the two , would have been sent to the insane asylum. That thing , nowever , is being done to-day. One Marconi pole Is at Clifton , on the coast of Ireland , and another is at Cape Breton , in Canada , and messages leap from one to the other as surely and as swiftly as though they were not six feet apart. This flashing of messages three or four thousand miles around the earth will soon be as1 commonplace as using the telephone Is now , and men will make use of the ser vice and think nothing of It Yet such communication was beyond the wildest dreams of mankind only a- few years ago. The world Is moving fast in these latter days , and will move faster yet Though the earth has been inhabited for millions of years , It Is only within the last century that nature's secrets have commenced to be dis covered. We are at the beginning of discovery and knowledge. What the next century will bring forth we cannot guess , but we may be sure that it will be full of wonders un speakable. Kansas City World. THE COST OF RURAL FREE DELIVERY. < OSTMASTER GENERAL MEYER'S pro gram of postoffice improvement involves two or three items which may seem .on their face to involve the risk of a great outlay on the &Bpart of the government. He personally be- jjlieves they would be good business policy , and to indicate why bold plans may be suc cessful he referred to some of the latest figures of the rural free delivery system. In 1S9G , the first year of rural free delivery , that ser vice cost $1 u.OOO.OOO , and the general postoffice deficit was 98,000.000. Last year tbe rural delivery service cost $25,000,000 and the deficit was only $10,000,000. This year rural free delivery will cost $35,000,000. ( The report for the first quarter of the year shows no deficit what ever , and while deficits are expected for the remainder of the year their total will be greatly cut down. As the Postmaster General puts it , the rural delivery service "Is costly , but It is proving to be a great feeder to the gen eral postal system. " Trie one aim of the Postofiice De partment is to give good service , and there is no reason why tbe government should not take reasonable business risks in providing it Chicago Record-Herald. nish it on the installment plan. You can have an installment piano and an installment phonograph and an install ment library in installments. You can dress tbe family on the installment plan. You don't have to wait until it's paid for to enjoy what you get. That necessity for annoying delay is tbe curse of the cash system. " "You'd only be spending the money that you pay out for some foolishness or other , wouldn't you ? " said the bill clerk. "And then you wouldn't have anything to show for it" "That's right , " said the cashier , "and you'll never miss the dollar or 00 a week or a month or whatever it is. It'a only a matter of a few cents a day for eac4h article. " That's all , " said the bill clerk. "This book costs less than 6 cents a day and it's one of the most useful and instruc tive works ever published. " You ought to get it. You need it "llonest , you'd find it would help you a heap. I'll put you next to the agent if you like. " "To tell you the truth , I rather favor the cash system , in spite of its disad vantages , " said the cashier.

About all some men can see in any undertaking Is discouragement SUPERSTITIOUS HINDOOS. They Eat , Drink , Sleep and Breathe ; in an Atmosphere of Omens. Hindoos eat , drink , sleep and breathe in an atmosphere of superstition. There is not a single action in every day life that does not savor of good or bad luck. They must be continually on their guard , either to propitiate a bad spirit or return thanks to a good one. one.The The Hindoos are early risers. In the warm season extending from April to October they sleep either upon the housetop or in the courtyard , or in the veranda if rain should be threatening , and are usually up at 5 o'clock or earlier in the morning. In the cold weather , when they sleep within doors , they rise later , but they are out before 7. Rising in the morning while but half awake , the Hindoo re peats the nam6 of Rama several times. He prepares for his morning toilet. He plucks a twig from a tree , breaks off a span length of it , crushes one end be tween his teeth and extemporizes a. toothbrush. He next draws up water from a well in the yard with an iron bucket and prepares to wash his hands and face. This is quickly done. He next throws on an extra garment , the thickness and texture depending on the season , lights his hooka , takes a few pulls with his euphonious , bubble-bub ble , and is ready to go out With a passing "Rama , rama ! " to friend or acquaintance and a neigh borly gossip by the way , he repairs to his place of business. While going he will sedulously avoid those signs and sounds which may augur ill for the day. day.Should Should one sneeze , or should he hear the cawing of a crow or the cry of a kite , or should he meet an old man , or one blind or lame , or see a cat cross his path , he would be greatly distress ed as to the day before him. On the other hand , if a fox crosses his path , if he hears a gong or shell summoning1 him to worship , or If he meets a Brah man with his head uncovered , he would rejoice , hailing It as auspicious. Some are so superstitious that If any evil portent occurs on the way they return home , have a smoke or chew a betel leaf , and proceed afresh.

Together with steadiness in production and distribution there is a largely inci-oas- 1 ed volume of paj-ments through the banks j and some decline in commercial defaults. ! These are encouraging munis in view of the continued scarcity of money. It is also gratifying that there is no evi dence of less machinery and bauds em ployed to indicate declining confidence in the business outlook. The government crop report this week showing smaller growth than last year caused unusual attention , but with the assured ample supplies to meet require ments and their enhanced values it is clear that the most probable effect must be beneficial to trade , satisfactory mar ketings being almost a certainty. The markets for raw materials disclose no falling off in absorption , and aside from lower copper and minor metals , no change appears in priqes of iron and finished products , wool , hides , leather and lumber. Country merchants attend the markets in the greatest numbers this season , and their operation in fall and wiator goods add tone to strength in wholesale activity. Retail trade is seasonably good , fall ex hibits attracting buying which promises to develop satisfactorily.
