It seems that the first act Of the new
Board of Railroad Commissioners in
the effort to enforce the new railroad
law was in violation Of the law they
were trying to carry out. They should
move slowly and surely. They gave
notice OF reduction in the rate on
fertilizers on certain road, but did
not give the road time or opportunity
to answer, as the law requires.

How the NOslems Pray.

The true Mohammedan is enjoined to
prayer five times day-namely, first in
the morning before sunrise, at noon, in
the afternoon before sunset, in the even
ing between sunset and dark, and be-
tween twilight and the first watch, being
the vesper prayer. A sixth prayer is
volunteered by many between the first
watch of the night and the dawn of day.
These prayers are simply repetitions of
the laudatory ejaculation, God is
great" God is powerful" "God is all
POWERFUL" aud are counted by the scru-
pulous on string of beads. They may
be performed at the mosque or any clean
place.
During prayer the eyes are turned to
the Kebla or point of the heavens in the
direction of Mecca, which is indicated
in every mosque by niche called Meh-
rab, and externally by the position of
minarets and doors. Even the posture
during prayer is prescribed. The most
solemn alteration is bowling the forehead
to the ground. Women are to fold their
hands on their bosoms and not to make
such profound obeisance as the men.
They are to pray gently and not to
accompany the men to the mosque. In
addressing God worshipers ae to be
humble, putting aside jewels and costly
apparel. Il Brooklyn Eagle.

About Alligators' Nests.

Alligators' nests resemble haycocks
more than anything else to which they
can be compared. They average about
four feet in height, and about five feet
in diameter, and are constructed of
grasses and heritage. First the mother
gator deposits one layer of eggs on a
mortar like floor, and having covered
this with stratum Of mud and heritage
about eight inches thick, lays another
set of eggs upon that, and SO or to the
top, there being commonly from 100 to
200 eggs in nest With their tails the
parents then beat down the tall grass aud
weeds to prevent the approach of I'M
seen enemies. The female watches her
eggs until they are Matched by the heat
of the sun, and then takes her brood I'M
der her own care, defending them and
providing for their subsistence. Doctor
Lutzemburg, of New Orleans, once
packed one Of these nests for shipment
to St. Petersburg, but the young Matched
out before they started on the long voy-
age, and were kept about the doctors
premises, running all over the house, up
and down stairs, whining like young pup
pies.-[New York News.

The Last of the Old Navy.

There are a few of the old wooden
ships left, and the Department will in
future, as far as possible, keep them on
the home stations and supply their places
abroad with new ships, which will not
only make more creditable showing,
but by their greater speed will be able to
cover more territory and render prompter
service when they are called upon.
Among the old wooden ships which will
be ordered home this year is the Lancas-
er, flagship of the Asiatic station, obso-
lete in design, slow, and not suited for
the flagship Of so important a station.
Her place will be taken by one of the
ships at the naval review, probably the
Baltimore, and three of the smaller YES
sells will accompany her to China. The
Adams and Mohican have only short
time left for efficient service, and before
the close of this Administration the last
of the wooden vessels Of the old Navy
will probably have disappeared from the
register, sold for coal barges or else
broken up for their Observation-Disclosures

Curling Hair by Heat.

Hair docs not necessarily curl when
merely heated, as person may go into
and remain in an excessively hot temper
allure without the hair, heated as it will
be, curling. The reason generally as
signed for its curling when wound on a
pair of curling tonys is that the mois
ture of the side le,t the iron being
evaporated by the heat, the cells in that
part approach each other more closely,
and this shrinking of one side forms
curve. The curling is partly, however,
due to the frmness CT the hair, which
induces it to retain for time any form
into which it may be forcibly restrained,
until it's elasticity makes it return after a
shorter or longer period to its original
position. This is shown by the old fash
toned method of twisting the hair up
tightly in curl papers, and keeping it so
for length of time, to induce it to re-
main more or less curled. Whatever
methods are used, they have to be re.
peated again and again, or else the hair
loses its curled appearance, and returns
to its natural position. The persistent
use of curling tongs undoubtedly in
jures the hair by making it dry and
brittle.-[ New York News.

per cent.

Says the Boston Cultivator 'Iast
year was the most prosperous On record
for American cotton mills. It was not
so for English cotton manufacturers.
A strike of English cotton workers has
stopped 1900, 900 spindles, and in
England strikes always mean that cap
ital is trying to force labor to accept
lower wages. It is likely that the Eng
Esh cotton manufacturers will never
regain their old time supremacy. We
produce most of the worlds supply Of
cotton, and manufacturing it at home
saves cost of transportation both ways.
That is margin large enough to in
sure our manufacturers profit.

Some time great deal of money will
be made by the sale of islands that line
the shores of Puget Sound and extend
northward along the coast to Alaska.
There are thousands of them, varying
in dimension from mere points of rock,
uncovered at low tide, to wooded areas
larger than Staten Island and much
more picturesque, for everywhere in
viewis green and placid water, enlivened
by the painted canoes of the Indians
vessels hewn from monster logs-and
there is background of magnificent
mountains, snow topped and Alpine in
outline. There are no such places for
summer residence in the world, and al
though farther north than New York
the climate is softer and more equable
than on this coast. They could, in
deed, be occupied the year around by
men doing business in Seattle, Tacoma,
Vancouver and New Westminster, pro-
vided they had private steamers to take
them to town. In the matter of beauty

The greatest strike the world ever

cotton spinners in Lancashire, England,
compromised with their employers. It

means at least 100000 men, women
and children). lasted twenty weeks and
the operatives admit that they lost
nearly $40, 900, 900 in wages. The inn
mediate cause for complaint was an at
tempt to reduce wages five per cent.

duction of only two and three-fourths

Pluck of an Opera Singer.

Fifty years ago European audiences
listened with rapt admiration to Rubin,
a tenor of whom it was said that, though
he himself could not act, he made his
voice act for him, says writer in the
Philadelphia Press. The intensity OF
expression he gave to his voice, the jul
dicious use of the tremolo and the
management of light and shade produced
a thrilling effect. But his best vocal
feat consisted of taking the bass of the
upper stave without preparation, thus
retaining it for long time, and then let
it imperceptibly die away. The listeners
could hardly believe their ears. The
adventurous are always on the edge of
danger. On one occasion Rubin, after
repeating this vocal feat, and being
second time encored, found himself un-
able to produce the expected note. De-
termined not to fail, he gathered up his
vocal strength and made supreme
effort. The note came with its wonted
power, and brillancy and duration, but
ct the cost of broken collar bone. A
surgeon examined the singer and found
that the tension of the lnngs had been
too powerful for the strength of his
collar bone. Two months rest would be
required to reunite the clavicle, aud
this the singer claimed to be impossible,
as he h;i only finished several days of a
long engagement.
"Can l sing at all with broken collar
bone ?" he asked.
Eyes; it will make no difference in
your voice." answered the surgeon.
"But you must avoid lifting heavy
weights and any undue exertion-aboVe
all, you must leave the B fiat alone"
Rubini continued to sing with a
broken clavicle until the termination OF
the engagement.

The appearance of young lawyer
who has suddenly become prominent
in criminal trial by a technical
knowledge of medical subjects was COM
mented on by the New York Law
journal in q well-written editorial.
The writer thinks that place may. be
found hereafter for the medical lawyer,
as there has been for the mechanical
lawyer in patent cases, and for other
specialists. 1t is not beyond question,
however, that it is of advantage in jury
trials to have lawyer who uses tech
nical language. The physician who is
being examined or cross-examined may
understand all the inquiries, but the
jurors, who are business men, will not
be greatly enlightened by the exami-
nation. That lawyer is usually most
successful who makes his cause most
clearly understood by the jury. A
lawyer who takes the opportunity of
displaying his own knowledge may ex-
cite the wonder of the jurors, but does
not always convince them. Patent
causes are usually tried before an ex-
aminer or commissioner, and not be-
fore jury. In criminal cases the
presence of an extremely learned med
ical lawyer will probably not be of
sufficient advantage TO make that class
