of 1913 quarter barrels, III eighth barrels,
and Al cases of beer, all in sealed vessels
bearing United States internal revenue
stamps over the plugs. The goods were
shipped to John Lesy, a resident of Keo-

for sale in unbroken packages. No kegs or

the beer was kept for the purpose of
being sold in violation of the laws
of Iowa, but that said laws arc
unconstitutional and void as applied to the
facts of this case. The supreme court holds,
as in the cases of Collins VS. Hill and Green

tonal. *It is true" says Judge Rothrock,
"they CLAIM that in this case there is the ex-
ceptlon that the plaintiff and appellees are
citizens and residents OF Illinois, and pro-
duce and manufacture beer in that state and
sell it as manufacturers. But no claim is
made in argument, and we discover no reason
why the laws OF this state, which forold the
sale of Intoxicating liquors, are not applica-
BILE to all persons no matter where they
abide We adhere to the rule announced In
the cited cases, and have no desire to further

AN INFANT LION.

Little Creature That Looks More Like
a.f3ig Cat Than Any Thing Else.
At the time the visit was made the
liouess was pacing restlessly up and
down and the cub was not to be seen.
The mother stopped in her walk and
glared for a moment at the visitors,
and then, going into a back corner of
the cage. began to poke her muzzle at
something in the straw. She soon
brought out what at first seemed to be
ball of light tawny wool, which I'M
curled itself and sat up to take a look
at the strangers 1t was about the
size of a good big tom-cat, and had
stripes of black on its legs and sides
like those of a tiger. These stripes
disappear when the cub is few weeks
old, and the light cost of hair is sue
ceeded by crop of darker hue. Hav-
ing produced her offspring for exhibit
ton, the lioness lay down by it's side
and began licking it as cat does a
kitten. She looked as mild as milk,
and apparently was paying no further
attention to her callers, but she
was on the alert, for when Mr..
Sells picked up a broom and made
a motion as though he would punch
the cub she was ready to defend her
baby. Quick as a flash of lightning
she sprang at the bars, eyes cleaning
and mouth open, snarling like an angry
cat, and with her right paw she made
stroke at the broom which would
have broken a mans skull had the
velvety looking paw fallen on his
head.
The visitors made lightning calcu-
lation on the strength of the cage
bars, and the ACCESSIBILITY of seeking
refuge in the muddy pool at the other
side of the building, where the hippo
potami were enjoying themselves. The
momentary flash of anger was over,
however, in less time than it takes to
tell of it, and the lioness was back by
the side of her baby, fondling it and
purring softly like gigantic cat with
it's kitten. There were two cubs born,
but one of them was sickly and only
lived few days. The surviving one
is strong and healthy, and at present
looks more like big cat than any
thing else.-Stockton (Cal.) Independ-
ent.

Saved by a Slip of the Pen,

Strange results have before now been
brought about about through accidents
in writing, but it is questionable
whether the anecdotists have recorded
any thing more curious than the saw
ing of a mans life through a slip of
the pen. Such thing has just oc-
Cured in Silesia. A wheelwright
named Kontuy was indicted at the OPP
peln Assizes for the murder of his wife
in fit of jealousy. The jury found
him guilty by seven votes to five. and
and sentence of death was passed in
the usual form. When, however, the
cOnvict's advocate came to examine the
record OF the verdict as written down
by the foreman of the jury, he found
that by a slip, the word .'stunden'' had
been accidentally substituted in place
of ''stimmen'' by which it appeared
that the murderer had been found
guilty by ''seven hours instead of
''seven votes" Of course an appeal
was Immediately lodged; and the I'm
perial Court of Cessation, being unable
to make sense of the record, ordered
new trial. The second jury was
more tender-hearted than the first, and
Kontuy was only found guilty of man
slaughter, the penalty for which is
twelve years penal servitude. st.

Among the many scattered remnants
of nations in India there are few more
interesting than the Beni-Israel of the
Bombay side. The Beni-Israel do not
belong to the lost tribes. nor have they
any mysterious connection with the
Great Pyramid. Their own legends
aver that centuries ago their forefa-
theirs, flying by sea from country in
the north, were shipwrecked near Ken
cry island. and the survivors, seven
families, took refuge at Navgoan,
homeless. penniless, among strangers,
and without the books of their law.
The date of this hegira is estimated
from sixteen hundred to two thousand
years ago. Since that date the little
colony of fourteen souls has grown into
dispersed community of ten thousand

however, for better things, his thoughts
were arrested by the cab pulling up at

are these Manchester contractors!"

would also suggest that chairs be
instituted in several of our colleges, to
be filled by professors who have passed
through all the principal departments
OF railroad-office experience. And in
addition they should be possessed of a
good literary and scientific education.
These general experts in railroad mat
tiers should have in charge the educa-
ton OF young men, and award diplomas
to them as expert railroad directors.
Then would make it incumbent upon
every railroad company to have one or
more OF these graduates in every
directory, at salary, say, equal to
that OF a Senator Or member of
Congress. Every such director
should know thoroughly all there
is to know about railroad book
keeping. railroad building. and rail-
road management generally His posi-
ton should be raised to the dignity
OF profession and his diploma awarded
only on the most searching examina-
ton OF his qualifications for the Office.
The position should be made as de-
slrable and attractive as that of any of
the learned professions, capability and
character being the principal tests of
fitness for the selection to any vacancy.
There should also be public account
ants, who have passed through the
same course and discipline, to be
called upon to examine the books of
every corporation at the making up of
any report for publication. To these
reports their official signatures should
be attached All official delinquencies
could then be met with condign pun
lshment and perpetual disgrace, so
that all but those who have the
strictest confidence in their own in
tegrity would be deferred from
seeking the Office. The principal idea
would be to make the Offices 1 suggest
such that the honor, rather than the
emoluments would attract eligible in
cumbents. Students passing through
Such collegiate course as this might
also be required, as means of greater
practical efficiency, to go through
practical course of year or two in a
railroad office, with frequent oppor-
tunities of going over and examining
the road as we'll as making trips of in
spection over the trunk lines for spe-
cial information and instruction. Thus
equipped, directors and accountants
would be qualified authorities upon
whose judgment the public could rely.

BUTTERFLY NURSES.
The Queer Task Performed by the Black
Ants of East India.

The Queer Task Performed by the Black
Ants of East India.
Ants and butterflies are not Ordinari-
ly on the most friendly terms, for ants
have a ruthless custom of selling and
devouring their winged acquaintance.
there is, however, one species of but
terfy, described in scientific journal
of Bombay, the larvae of which are
protected by the large black ants found
in Indian gardens and houses.
The secret of this care lies in the
fact that the larvae exude a sweet
LIQUID, of which the ants are very fond,
and which they obtain by gently strok-
ing the little creatures with their an
tenna. At the foot of bush on which
the larvae feed the ants construct a
temporary nest, and are then ready to
act as attentive nurses.
About the middle of June the ants
are busy running about on this bush in
search of the larvae, and driving them
down toward their own nest. When
the prisoners reach their places they
at once fall into a doze, and undergo
Transformation into pupa. During
this period if the loose earth at the foot
of the bush be scraped away hundreds
of larvae and pupa may be seen ar
ranged in broad, even band about it's
trunk.
In about week the butterfly is ready
to come forth, and is tenderly assisted
TO leave its shell. If it is strong and
healthy, it is allowed to spread it's
wings and fly away, but should it prove
delicate the ants exercise the utmost
care in assisting it to the tree and hold
ing it there in safety.
1t is said to be curious sight to
watch these fragile creatures going
about in perfect confidence among the
strong. fierce ants, which have. how
aver, by no means adopted the profess
sion of nursing for the love of it, for
when the larvae of another species are
thrown among them they Immediately
set upon them and tear them in pieces.

CHINESE LADIES' FEET,
A Sight Well Calculated to Disgust Int
llgeHt Foreigners.


ligent Foreigners.
The small feet of Chinese women is
one of the first sights in China that
sickens the foreigner. In Tientsin and
North China all of the Chinese women
compress their feet, and they hobble
about the streets with canes, resting
their heavy forms on the stump of the
natural foot There is woman here
in Canton whose foot is so small that
the part which goes into the shoe is
not bigger around than trade dollar,
and the compressed foot is horrible de-
formity. l had one photographed and
the sight fills me- with disgust. The
leg from the knee to the foot is like a.
pipe stem. The beauty of the ballet
girls calf is missing and the skin
seems to be wrapped around the shin.
1t is cracked and rough and the foot
itself seems to be broken in two in the
middle. The instep was doubled over
upon the heel and the four small toes
were wrapped around under the sole of
the foot. The big toe and a part of these
four were all that went into the shoe,
and the Chinese ladies. in reality, walk
on their toes. They have the heel set
about in the middle of the shoe, like
the French heel, and we get French
heels and rouge from China. The COM
preston of the feet is said to date back
to an empress who had a club foot and
who made the other ladies of the court
bind up their feet until it became the
fashionable thing. Another explana-
ton is that it was adopted to keep
Chinese women from gadding, and if
so, it succeeds. All Chinese women,
except the Manchus or Tartars, now
bind their feet and it is a very low
peasant who has feet of the natural
shape The pressing is with bandages,
which are put on the foot when the
child is five years old. They are
wrapped so tightly that the toes are
forced into the flesh, that the instep is
forced up so that the heel and the big
toe forms perfect bow, and so that
the flesh often breaks at the instep,
and the bones sometimes protrude.
This binding is kept up through life.
and swelling takes place whenever the
bandages are removed. The woman
must be in continual pain, and in the
winter these compressed feet are liable
to freeze. DR.. Mary Niles, of the hos
pltal here, told me yesterday of the
case of a woman in the country near
Canton. Her feet became frozen and
sloughed off. She came into Canton on
the stumps with her feet in her hand,
brought them to the hospital, and
asked the doctors to sew them on
again. A cast of one of these feet is
now shown at this hospital, which is
larger than any in America, and which,
since its foundation half century ago,
has treated million of patients. IF.
