There has been good deal of discussion
as to the best time for eating certain artis
cles of food. For instance, we are advised
not to eat meat late in the day, not to take
fruit just before retiring and to avoid tea
or coffe in the evening If wakeful night
ia not desired.
Men of mature years and good stomachs
are not devoting much time to studying
these questions. They will tell you that
watermelon never tasted better than on a
dark night when the dog was chained and
the owner of tine patch was sleeping after
the weary labors of the day.
Apples never were so sweet as when an
entrance was surreptitiously effected into
| the rear end of the orchard and the in
| vader punished the stolen fruit with an
assurance that the. proprietor was not
within eyeshot. Cakes, pie and preserves
l were eaten whenever the eyes of watchful
| and solicitous parents were temporarily of
l duty. Green cucumbers were smuggle6
| to bed and eaten in the still watches Of tn,
night, while raw turnips were generally
enjoyed on the top of stake and rideret
| fence.
In those days it was the custom of boy
to eat what they most enjoyed, when the,
| could get it, and to get it when the,
| could. Stomachs were not run according
to any time table, and yet good man,
hearty men can look back with pleasure t,
those youthful indiscreAions. Detroit Ere

NEW HAVEN, a,

small part of the pauperism that has been
ascribed to it. Only thirteen per cent. of
the pauperism in London can be traced to
the abuse of liquor, proportion that is
sufficiently serious beyond doubt, but is
infinitely less than most persons have i'm
agined. Mr.. Booths figures also prove, if
they are correct, that only four per cent.
of the London paupers are reduced to that
extremity by want of work. Old age is
the great dominant cause of pauperism.
Under the age of sixty only one man in
twenty is destitute, but when that limit
has been passed the proportion of paupers
increases with terrible and most pathetic
rapidity.
Congressman Little of New York thinks
that lotteries can be taxed to death. He
has introduced in the house bill intend
ed to do this. His bill applies to all l"schemes
or devices" where the winnings are de-
termined principally by chance, and pre-
scribes legal form for a lottery ticket.
1t must be four inches wide and six
inches long at least, and must have writ
ten or printed on 1.-THE name of the lot
terry issuing it, and of its managers and
agents with their addresses, with the sum
paid for it. Before any lottery ticket can
be sold it must have upon it revenue
stamps "equal to rs per cent. of the face
or stated value of said ticket" Every
dealer in lottery tickets must obtain a Ii
canoa fro,,o tho ipfarpo1 ravapna dapart-
ment at cost of 500; and any failure to
comply with the provisions of the law
subjects the offender to heavy fine or
Imprisonment, or both. Informers get
two-thirds the fine collected.
The plate-glass manufacturers of Eng
land are awakening to the fact that they
must bestir themselves if they do not wish
to be beaten out of the field by foreign
competition. According to the Liverpool
Courier, there has been great activity of
late at st. Helen's. One of the largest con-
Germs has just raised 81 900, 900 on mort
gage debentures for alterations and recon
structions and the introduction of new and
improved machinery. Another firm,
whose works at Sutton and Ravenhead en-
ploy two thousand hands-men, women
and children-are about to get rid of their
old machinery, only recently considered to
be the best plant in the United Kingdom,
and replace it by all the latest improve
ments. The change will be effected grad
ually during the next three or four years.
A third firm is expending 100000 on
new plant, and there is little doubt that
the example will be followed generally.

WHAT IRRIGATION CAN DO

What irrigation can do is well set forth
by the chamber of commerce of Phoenix,
Arizona 1t is wonderful story. A few
years ago the vegetation of the region
roundabout Phoenix was scanty in the
extreme, i'll supplied by the infrequent
rains of the country, and feebly sug-
gestive of the dormant possibilities of the
soil. But within Maricopa county there
have now been constructed about two
hundred and eighty miles of main canals,
most of them supplied from Salt river.
and these artificial waterways cover
about 100000 acres. The largest of
the system, the Arizona canal,
is more than forty miles long
and thirty six feet wide at the bottom, fur
nishing channel for the waters diverted
from the river, through which they flow at
the rate of thousand cubic feet per Sec
ond. In the Salt River valley, as the
direct result of irrigation, the area of cul-
tivation includes $4,000 acres of wheat,
$4,000 of barley, $4,000 of aljalpa, 10000
of vineyards and orchards and 10000 OF
miscellaneous products. Here are hun.
dred and fifty thousand acres redeemed
from unproductiveness and made profit.
able by the one agency of water skillfully
applied. 1t is only three or four years
since orange culture was inaugurated as &
special industry, but in that time it hal
been demonstrated that the fruit can bt
grown successfully and matured at an un
| usually early date. The absence of mois
ture in the atmosphere is said to destroy
the insect pests common to other localities
| while the crop natures several weeks il
advance of that grown in California. Las
winters yield is said to have been tive
months in advance of the first fruit
shipped from the country farther west
Figs, grapes, apricots and peaches thriv
in the irrigated soil and dry atmosphere
pomegranates and almonds are prosperous
and strawberries six inches in circumfer
ence have been photographed.
This is indeed making things groy
where nothing grew before. 1t is hard t
make people who have not sean the change
made by irrigation realize them, but the
are marvellous.

The Master of the House

He cannot walk he cannot speak,
Nothing he knows of books or men:
He is the weakest of the weak
And has not strength to hold pen.
He has NO pocket and no purse,
Nor ever yet has owned a penny;
But has more riches than his nurse,
Because he wants not any.
He rules his parents by a cry,
And holds them captive by smile;
A despot strong through infancy,
A king from lack of guile.
He lies upon his back and crows,
Or looks with grave eyes on his mother:
What can he mean? But suppose
They understand each other.
Indoors and out, early and late,
There is no limit to his sway;
For, wrapt in baby robes of state,
He governs night and day.
Kisses he takes as rightful due,
And Turklike has his slaves to dress him;
His subjects bend before him too;
I'm one of them, God bless him.

A WEAK COMMISSION,

A WEAK COMMISSION.
Is the interstate commerce commission
going to amount to anything much
longer9 This question is pertinent in view
of the recent decision of the Supreme
court in the Counselman case. 1t will be
remembered that Counselman was asked
by the commission whether any railroad
company had secretly given his firm rate
on grain shipments lower than the sched-
ule rate open to all shippers. He refused
to answer the question, giving as his rea-
son an unwillingness to run the risk of
eliminating himself. The commission
certified the case to a Chicago grand jury.
The grand jury asked the question over
again and Counselman again refused to
answer it, giving the same reason. His
refusal was reported to the Judge, and the
judge imposed fine of $500 for contempt.
He wouldn't pay it, and was committed
into custody. Then the case was re-
moved to the federal courts by habeas
corpus proceedings. The district court
decided in Counselman's favor. The cir
cult court reversed the decision. Now the
supreme court reverses the circuit courts
decision, and Counselmsn goes free. The
opinion says: "In view of the constitu-
tional provision, statuary enactment, to
be valid, must afford absolute immunity
against future prosecution for the offense
to which the question relates. Section
$50, moreover, affords no protection
against the use of compelled testimony,
which consists in gaining therefrom the
knowledge of the details of crime and OF
sources of information which may supply
other means of convicting the witness o,
party. From consideration of the
language of the constitutional provision,
and of all the authorities referred to, we
are clearly of opinion that the appellant
was entitled to refuse, as he did, to answer
If the commission can't ask questions
how is it going to find out anything?
