While the system of cooperative
farming by village communes is
rapidly being abandoned i'm Russia as
obsolete and not in keeping with
western progress, it is being adopted
in Italy, and that with great success.
Some six years ago an association
was started by thirty peasants in
the Province of Creona for the pur-
pose of cultivating a farm OF about
three hundred acres, and has reaped
excellent financial results. Their ex-
ample has been widely copied, and to-
day the larger number OF the farms
in the Province of Milan are held by
peasant associations Of this kind, one
farm alone, OF one hundred acres,
being held by thirty-two peasant
families, who were able to pay their
last years rent out of the produce
OF silk cocoons alone, their agricul-
tural luce being all so much
profit. This method OF association
has the advantage that it admits Of
the acquisition Of perfected agricul-
tural implements, seed, manures,
etc, which would be beyond the
means of any single peasant family.

In this case, says the Green Bag,
the judge instructed the jury that it
was to judge of the law as well as the
facts, but added that it was not to
judge Of the law unless it was fully
satisfied that it knew more law than
the judge.
An outrageous verdict was brought
In, contrary to all instructions of the
court, who felt called upon to rebuke
the jury.

Scriptural Sanction.

Speaking of pipes recalls story Of
Bishop Saabury, the first bishop Of
Connecticut. He was q great smoker.
and when travelling always carried with
him good supply Of his finest tobacco,
and wooden case made to hold three
long clay pipes. He would no more
have forgotten these than his books
and vestments. An old lady of the
diocese was an ardent admirer of the
bishop, but the clouds OF tobacco smoke
surrounding his head like a halo
troubled her. At last she mustered up
courage and said:
Bishop. how can you smoke? Don't
you think it an ungodly habit and un-
becoming to Minister"
well, my good woman, I thought
you read your bible," said the bishop.
Il do" she replied, "but l never saw
anything in it to countenance smok-
ing"
What" said the bishop, did you
you never read the passage which ex-
horts US to praise God on the pipe? I'M
possiblew
The old lady was satisfied, and after
wards told people who criticised the
bishop for smoking that they didn't
rightly understand the Scriptures.

How the Intramural IL" Ia Operated at
the Worlds FAiss
In the 1ntramual Railway and its
operation the public visiting the
Worlds Fair found one of its strong
est attractions. The remarkable ex-
tent Of ground embraced within the
boundaries Of the Columbian EXPOSE
ton rendered the question Of adc-
quate and satisfactory transportation
one of considerable gravity. The
idea Of using surface cars could not
be entertained, and this left but one
alternative-an elevated read.
AS the Exposition was to be SYM
bolical OF the highest point reached
by nineteenth century civilization,
the operation OF the road by steam
was out Of the question, and the plan
finally adopted was an electric ele-
waited railroad running almost en-
tlrely around the Fair and obtruding
itself as little as possible. The line,
consisting OF 14.SO0 feet of double
track and 1900 feet of single track,
was not laid out until after the work
OF construction had been begun on
