Miss Anne +. Rinehart, of Den

cord as wheelwoman. She was
an invalid when she learned to
ride, and, though always riding
for pleasure, has earned us cen

ridden 200 miles day.
She says: Il believe that any
woman can acquire sufficient will

day without firing. Healthy
wheeling depends so much upon

'"'Si VI iCNriSol~ vi HIS ueclS-
ions which Judge Slmonton has
had to endure or, to speak more
accurately, the reversals of his
fundamental rulings on great
questions of constitutional law.
The fact that Judges decisions
are over-ruled by the higher
courts is not, Of itself, significant.
But, when the fundamental the
Ory upon which he bases a ruling
Is pronounced unsound on appeal,
the consequences are apt to be
serltus. Gases, which them
selves are of little Importance,
are of vital interest because they
involve principles affecting nu-
merous pending suits. Now, it
has aroused comment during the
past few years that Judge Simon
ton manages by singular fatal
ity to get on the wrong side Of
the Supreme Court in his expo
sltion Of the constitution He is
also singularly infellcitous in his
quotations of precedents, and
somewhat original in his rulings.
Those who best know Judge
Simonton account for these things
in various ways. 1t happens that
the railroads within his jurisdic-
ton have been tangled into most
confusion disorder through re-
organizations and combinations
and bonded debts. Were rail
roads nothing but railroads pure
and simple, Judge Simonton
would not have so much to do.
Bnt railroads, at least in this
county, are financial institutions,
and the most important of their
functions Is by no means trans
portation. The financial aspect
Of railroading, its bonds and
stocks and dividens and generals
mortgage creditors and so on,
are things concerning which
Judge Simonton is thoroughly
posted and can lay down the law
with marvelousness. But railroads
are required to carry passengers
and freight, and it's in the branch
of the law relating to this matter
that the Judge Is not so much at
home. To this effect runs the ex-
planation of those who attempt
to account for the circumstance
In Judge Simonton's career which.
from the nature of things, are
puzzling to the lay mind, igno-
rant OF the law and unable to
pass any competant opinion up
on the proceedings Of court.

Food Products.

There is danger that certain desirable articles among the raw articles of food will soon be unattainable. Some indeed have already become so. We hear the regret often expressed that the healthful properties of certain food products, as bread four, for example, are refined away in the modern mill process. Re- fnement is doing the same thing for cornmeal It is bringing us something much more delicate in appearance. but not the ingredient called for by those ancient recipes for Indian pudding and brown bread which have been handed down from some colonial ancestor from generation to generation. The modern cornmeal will not produce the same compound, no matter how carefully the formula may be followed.
 A number of these old recipes call. too, for brown sugar, something almost impossible now to procure. An inquiry for the darkest brown sugar" at a grocer's will secure a moderately soft and pale yellow sugar; in some shops not even that, but only the moist, pure white O brand. can be had In carrying out the directions of the recipe, little molasses will have to be added, and even then it will not be quite the right thing. Molasses, too, is not to be had as dark as formerly, and the rich brown ginger cake of today has to take on an added and not desirable dose of spices to get its color.-New York Post.
