About Future?Retrenchmer Preventing Advance St. Paul.?The Pioneer Press says thai the policy of retrenchment, threatened by tl e railroads because of Federal activity in preventing a proposed increase in freight rates, is already going into effect. Thus far the policy has meant the discharge of about 10,000 laborers in the Northwest. Orders have been received from headquarters to stop nearly all new construction work, while plans for extensions and betterments have been dropped temporarily. It is estimated that the Northern Pacific has given orders to lay off 2500 men. the Great Northern 3000 and the Chicago and Northern 600. The Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul discharged between 1000 and 1200 men during the first part of June in the northern districts alone. For the present, the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul is not extending the policy of retrenchment in the Northwest. The Santa Fe has lnid off 4000 men and the Rock Island 1500.

It reached thirteen cents, and in some cases thirteen and one-hali to fourteen cents. The retailers grumbled at the advance, but as a prominent Sixth avenue dealer said: "We have to pay the price because it prevails in all the available markets when the big wholesalers say so, and there is no alternative but to accept the explanation which they offer for the rise." The reasons for the advance given by a number of the large wholesale firms were that there was a light supply to meet an increasing demand for the best beef and that live cattle were bringing higher prices in the West.

President Howard Elliott Issued a statement giving the reasons for the action of the railroads. Ke says: "Four forces, namely, increased taxes, increased prices for labor and material, increased facilities, both in quantity and quality, and the enlarged powers of the railway commissions, are all working to reduce the net earnings of railway companies, so that it seems prudent for boards of directors and for railway officers to consider most carefully not only their duty to the travelers and shippers over their roads, but also their duty to the very large number of people whose money is invested in railroads, and the large class of investors to whom the railroads must go if they are to obtain money for additions and improvements and extensions. It seems, therefore, the part of wisdom not to engage in new enterprises at the present lime and not to undertake too much railroad work extension." NEVER A VACATION.

Representatives of other large wholesale houses like Swift & Company and 3chwarzschild & Sulzberger were reluctant to admit that the price had taken a "perceptible" jump recently, but said that their best dressed beef was selling from twelve and onehalf to thirteen cents a pound, which, according to the retailers, is an advance of about two cents.

The occasion of a toast, though always a joyful one, is nevertheless embrassing for the person toasted, and 1 the girl who does not b'.ush under the , stress is of unusual calibre. A girl I does not drink from her glass as the toast is given, but may touch it to ! her lips as she rises to reply. She i makes a bow that includes all the I company, thanks them in whatsoever terms she pleases that are gracious for the honor paid her, and when she sits down may, if she likes, take a sip from her glass. In fact, a girl responds to a toast exactly as a man would, and the wit of her acknowledgement is governed by her control of feeling, her readiness and her selfpossession; but the best response is always the one that comes from the heart and is most naturally phrased. ?New York Tribune.

The popular idea is that if a girl marries well, in the world's way of 1 thinking, that settles her fate for { life. Nothing could be further from the truth, writes Hilda Richmond, in ' the Delineator. The young woman j who has that false idea in her mind [ had better root it out once for all. , She may have won a good husband, j but that does not insure her a happy | home life. Every day she must win ! her great and small victories, or the ; marriage will he a failure.

When \ on are a cnffa-ci' Ci./,.., I ralgia make sure lirsi that it is not! from a tooth. There are many eases , of so-called chronic neuralgia, not always facial, which never recur after a visit to a good dentist. Sometimes it is necessary to visit more than one dentist, for the trouble may be obscure. If neuralgia is from other causes do not suffer needlessly. Take it in hand before it gets too strong a grip. Sometimes it is caused by over4 work; again by overeating or " ; ^Ji ceptibility to cold. As it arist ', ly from nerves, then living hyj ^ jgjj ty ana cutting out excltenn M3 often give relief. Do not take drugs and i powders for neuralgia until <5 other means has been tried. 1 ease being recurrent, it is da ^ to get into the habit of a | soothing. Only take such relief unde- S tions of your doctor, and m fc* so long as you can fight off t ijl with outward applications, suggestion or by gritting your teetn and bearing it. m. -> The drug habit is infinitely worse to cure than neuralgia, and more , -i fatal in its effects. Some of the medicated clays have been found to give quick relief in neuralgia, while rubbing with soap liniment or some reliable pain de- g strover will often soothe. There is a difference of opinion as to hot or cold applications for neuralgia. As in appendicitis, each sufferer must decide by experimenting. One noted specialist has a treatment for this disease that is woith trying. He does not believe in southing pain, but in curing it, and his method of cure is by cold water. His method is to treat not the point "* where the pain strikes, but the seat of that pain, which, he claims, is the , .< "1 spine. A towel wrung from cold v. ater and covered with a blanket or Turkish towel is placed on the spine well up on the back of the neck. This is changed three times iu ten minutes, 4 then three times in twenty minutes, and if not relieved he makes another ^ application in thirty minutes. Usually, the doctor declares, the t eggs hard, remove the shells, cut ? rise and take out the yolks, which l a sieve and mixed gradually with jpped chives, two tablespoonfuls of iblespoonfuls of cold chopped meat ^ ), salt and pepper to taste. Cut a of the egg whites so that they will ? v iiuu unus aim piace mem in tne crisp lettuce leaves, garnish with cream cheese, baste with French liately. > . sufferer is in a gentle perspiration, and is better after the third or fourth application. This treatment has been known after several recurring attacks to permanently cure obstinate cases of neuralgia which failed to yield to drugs. ?New York Times.
