peals finds that the pooling section of the
Interstate commerce act cannot be in
voked against the joint traffic association
which is the largest railroad pool under
taken in years. 1t qualities the finding
somewhat, by observing that if the pool
ing section of the act has been violated,
the remedy is clearly by way of criminal
prosecution under the act, and not by a
civil suit involving the issuance of an in
junction. Sometime ngo the government
asked for an injunction against the asso-
cation. on the ground that it was pool
and in violation of the Anti Trust and
Interstate Commerce acts. Judge Wheel
er of New York refused the application
and the Circuit Court of Appeals has
sustained him on technical grounds, and
without deciding the question whether
the association is in effect pool. The
Chicago News thinks that at the present
writing, the valued interstate commerce
act may be likened to a wagon which has
no hind wheels but which, if it is to go
at all must go on it's hind wheels.

SHIPS RANGE OF ACTION.
The Naval Engagement of the Pres
ent Largely a Matter 81
ManeuverinE.

"The pictures in some of the burnt
orange newspapers of battleships in ac-
tion are about as funny as the japanese |
idea of prospective" said IA naval otfi- |
Ger to a Star man. "These pictures rep
resent the opposing ships blazing away
at each other with 13-inch rifles at
range of about 100 feet, and the artists
certainly work up the thing to make it
look terrific enough, in all conscience.
It's wonder to me they don't represent
the crews of the opposing ships in the
act of using graphing irons, as they did
in engagements at close quarters in the
days of the old 70-gun frigates. As
matter Of fact, if either battleship in an
engagement between vessels of to-day
got within such a range of another, or
anything like it, it would simply be
matter of the first shot. One big she'll
delivered at such range would leave
cnly the debris of the struck ship float
ing on the surface of the water. Mod
ern ships of war are not devised to get
within any such range of each other in
action. The nearest that any of the OPP
| posing ships in. the great naval battle
| on the Yalu got to each other was a
! trifle under two miles, and what one
battleship can do to another at that
range is something beyond calculation.
The naval engagement of this era is
very largely a matter of maneuvering-
of presenting the smallest possible tar
get to the guns of the enemy's ships,
and of forcing the enemy to present
their biggest hull to the range-fnders.
When the commander of ship in the
coming engagements can contrive to
get in his work on the enemy's vessels
while only pointing with his nose in
their direction-leaving them practical'
ly only razor's edge target+he is
liable to eat them up. But while there
is still drill in the United States navy
called 'repelling boarders,' the drill is
only retained in the manual for th'
sake of exercising the men, and thu
only boarding that will be done in tn
coming. fights will be done by priz
: crews, taking possession of beatel
ships, after the latter have struck thei
colors. s."-Washington Star.

THE NEWSPAPER LAW.
All Subscribers Should Read the Fol-

All Subscribers Should Head the Fol-
lowing Law and Avoid Trouble.
l. All subscribers who do not
give express notice to the contrary
are considered wishing to continue
their subscriptions.
2. If subscribers order the dis
continuance of their periodical the
publisher may continue to send it
until all arrearages are paid.
3. If subscribers refuse or neglect
to take their periodicals from the Of
flee to which they are directed, they
are responsible until they have set
tied their bills and ordered them dis
continued.
A Subscriber moving to other
places without informing the pub
Usher, and the papers are sent to the
former address, they are held re-
sponsible.
5. The courts have decided that
refusing to take periodicals from the
office or removing and leaving them
uncalled for, is prima facie evidence
of intended fraud.
g. If subscribers pay in advance
they are bound to give notice at the
end of the time they do not wish to
continue taking it,and the subscriber
will be responsible until an express
notice with all arrearages are sent to
the publisher.
7. The latest postal laws are such
that newspaper publishers can arrest
anyone for fraud who take paper
and refuses to pay for it.
Under the law the man who allows
his subscription to run along some
time unpaid, and then orders tn

rest and fine, the same as for theft

THE HUMAN FOOT.
Valuable Example in PROOF OF
Purpose in Design and
Structure.


An interesting address descriptive Of |
the anatomy of the human foot, and its
special adaptation for the requirements
of man, was given before ,le Victoria
institute, London, England, towards the
end of April, by Dr.. Gerard Smith, NJ. Il.
c. S., who attracted a numerous audi
ence; he stated that he had selected the
human foot as a ''conege,l e..amp.e' in
proof of a greater abstract principle"
This principle being that the animal
body exhibits proof of purpose and de-
sign in structure, and of being formed
for its work, as opposed to the conten-
ton that the body is an imperfect re-
suit of the actions Of environment, and
formed by its work, not merely modi-
fed thereby.
The human foot oMsrs so valuable an
example in support of this principle,
because its mechanical arrangement is
so unique, being human essentially, and
ninistering to the unique human phys
ical advantage, that of the perfect erect
posture.
The arguments advanced to support
the denial of design, or to assert that
design, if present, is a bad one, involve
the further assertions that the defcrm-
tiles of the human body, those of the
| feet specially, when they are of that
class due to failure in duly discharging
the functions of the feet mot in refer
ence to deformities by disease, as paraly-
sis, etc.) are invited and precipitated by
| the inherent defects of the structure;
defects which, if the foot is designed
have been introduced of set purpose, to
inhict suffering, etc.
In defense of these imputations the
lecturer brought forward demonstra'
tions that the foundations of such ar
guments are fallacious, and are entire
ly misconceptions of the meaning of the
structure of the foot.
That, though there exist possibili
ties there is an efficient provision
against deformity, the disregard o
which (or denial of their presence
which must be held to be consistent il
holding the major premise of material
ism) is the real cause of deformities o
this type, and also robs cripples of tn
PROVIDED IltdHS lul lhCil AS4iNit NAitN
the methods of physical education c
: children, based upon theories of tn
kind, are rendered faulty.
The detailed examination of the al
tual mechanical arrangements of ii
human foot was entered upon an
enforced by the use of large drawing
most of them from nature, and the fac
y which support the assertion of desie
k and the safeguards against deformiti
. were demonstrated, as also were Il
errors on which the opposite theory
founded, and the great Importance

Cookinw Butter,

1t is often the case that there is on
hand quantity of butter that is unit
for table use and really not up to
standard to cook with. This may some
times be made quite good for cooking
either by working it in sweet, fresh
milk or by putting it on frying pan
over very hot fire and allowing it to
cook until it smokes, being careful that
it does not burn. Remove from the fire,
and when partly cool strain it through
. very fine cheesecloth into small dishes
and put away for immediate use. If
the flavor is not too bad it will make eX-
cellent shortening.--N. Y. Ledger.

The entrance of the broad and
deep harbor on which the city faces
is bv narrow channel about a mile
long and each side guarded by a
hill standing almost perpendicular-
" to a height of $50 feet. At one
point the neck of the approach is
less than 200 feet wide and only
five and one-half fathoms deep, so
that to enter ships must go in one

On hill on the eastern side OF
the harbor is MORO Castle, with
five "A Founders, five Is Founders
and two modern rapid-fire guns.
On the western hill top are two
batteries with modern guns. At
the base of MORO Castle are sevearl
guns loaded with shrapnel to sweep
the face of the water, and opposite
is similar battery. Going around
the first curve of the narrow en-
trance is Cayosmith, an island,
battery of modern guns.
In the narrow neck of the passage
are three rows of mines, each row
