OUT BLOW.

The Indiana Supreme Court holds
th at q public corporation which ne
tered into a combination with other
corporations to destroy competition
and thereby increase the price at
which an article was sold to the in
habitants of the State becomes liable
TO a forfeiture of its corporate fran
chise. The decision is in the case of
the State on the relation of a prose
cutting attorney against the Portland
Natural Gas an Oil Company.
Judge Jordan of the Supreme Court,
who wrote the decision says, in part:
when the State seeks to DESTROY
the life of an inoor porated body it is
expected to show some grave miscon-
duct, some act at least by which It
has offended the law Of its creation,
or something material which tends to
produce injury to the public, and not
merely that which affects only private
interests for which other adequate
remedies are provided.
Where, however, the facts disclose
that a corporation has failed in the
discharge of its corporate duties by
uniting with others in carrying out
an agreement, the performance of
which is detrimental or injurious to
the public. it thereby may be said to
offend against the law of its creation.
consequently to forfeit its rights TO its
franchises
1t is an old and familiar maxim
that competition is the life Of trade.
and whatever act destroys competition
OF even ~relaxes it, upon the part of
those who sustain relations 10 the
public, is regarded by the law as in
furious to public interest and is, there
fore, to be unlawful.
The officials affirm, as a general
rule, that IT the act complained OF, by
its results. will restrict OF stlfe COM
petition, the law will regard such an
act as incompatible with public pol
icy without any proof Of evil intent
on the act OF actual injury to the
public.

ship between a woman's tender heart
A. Logan, wife of the heroic volunteer
general, made a trip with friends in
March. 1868, to Richmond, for the pur-
pose of visiting the Notifications and
battlefields around the city. When they
returned they reported to Gen. Logan
what they had seen.
Mrs. Logan was impressed by the evil
dences of desolation and destruction
which she witnessed everywhere, partic-
ularly emphasized by the innumerable
graves which filled the cemeteries, many
of which were those of confederate SOL
diers. In the summer before they had
all been decorated with little flags and
wreaths Of flowers. all of which were
faded.
Gen. Logan, who was commander-in-
chief Of the Grand Army, then conceived
the idea of issuing an order, asking the
entire people of the nation to inaugu-
rate the custom of annually decorating
the graves of the patriotic dead, as a
memorial to their sacrifice He issued
the first order May 80, 1868, and it was
SO enthusiastically received and general
ly observed, that he decided to cause it
to be a national holiday by joint reso-
luton of congress. Through his in
fluence this was accomplished, and it
hoe roccod into hictorv NC beautiful
custom.

What Bird Songs Say.

Dear Brothers of the Earth:
We, your little brothers of the air,
wish and hereby request you to show
the little kindness which we ask of
you.
Whenever you go out to the woods in
winter or early spring, always take
with you some corn or bread for us,
as our supply of berries will be nearly
gone by that time.
Never take gun or slingshot into the
woods with you.
Please never destroy our nests or take
our young or eggs.
Whenever you see a young bird on
the ground lift it up into it's little home.
Tell your mamma and your aunties
never to wear feathers in their hats, as
thousands of us are slaughtered every
year to decorate bonnets.
And We promise you that we will re-
pay your favors by delighting you with
our quaint pranks and sweet songs.
Signed-Robin. Bluebird, Sparrow,
Chickadee, Orioles and many others

only three chambers; one of these was
sacred. The feather bed rose plump and
impregnable in its recesses. The green
paper shades shut out all but a chink of

When another baby came to crowd it
out there was the trundle bed that stood
under the big bed all day, and rolled
out at night with sleepy rumble. And
when more babies still came to crowd
the trundle bed, the first baby, a big
boy, 6 years old now, had a bed made
for him at the head of the back stairs,
or up garnet under the sloping caves.
The rain lulled him to sleep, and the
snow drifted in sometimes. In the spare
chamber the big bed doomed untouched.

be you have noticed a careworn look on
her face lately. OF course it has not
been brought there by any act of yours,
yet it is your duty to chase it away. I

shake your skirts and tell it to "shoo,"
as you would a hen, nor do I expect
you to get on the other side Of the
fence and throw old oyster cans and
pieces of barrel slaves at it. But I
want you to get up tomorrow morning
and get breakfast, and when she (your
mother) comes down and begins to
express surprise, go right up to her
and kiss her on the mouth. You can't
imagine how it will brighten up her
dear old face. Her face has more
wrinkles than yours, far more, and yet
If you were sick that face would ap-
pear to- you to be more beautiful than
an angels, as it lowered over you,
watching every opportunity to minister
to your comfort, and every one of
those wrinkles would seem to be bright
wavelets Of sunshine chasing each other
over the dear old face.

rest for an hour before dinner. And after
dinner take down her hair and do it I'D
for her. You need not wind it over
your finger, and fuss to make spit curls
as she used to do with yours, but give
it a good brushing and wind it up
gently and tenderly, as though you en-
joyed doing for her. The young man
down in the parlor can wait until you
have performed these duties. If he
makes complaint or expresses any i'm
patience you may explain to him that
you feel under more obligations to
your mother than you do to him.-Mil-

A Wonderful Tree.

On the left bank of the River Oder at
Ratibor, In Silesia, there grows maple
tree which is one of the most remarka-
BILE works of nature in existence, since it
has been SO trained and twisted until it
has become more like house than a
tree. The maple is 100 years old, and
through the greater part of this period
the work of training and twisting it has
been in progress. The trunk rises from
the ground much like that Of any other
maple, but a flight of steps leads to the
first level, where the branches have been
gradually woven together until a firm
floor has been made. Above this is a
second floor, smaller IN diameter, and
formed in the same way. Around each
floor the branches have, been woven into
solid walls, making two circular rooms.
Each of these rooms is Aghted by eight
windows, which are cut through the
walls OF branches and foliage. Below
the floor, at the Level, Of, the second
room, and at the top ,of the tree. the
branches have been allowed, to grow out
naturally, while the intermediate walls
and the edges of the window opening
have been kept closely trimmed. These
tree-rooms are occasionally slept in
during the summer. The old tree is in
a healthy condition, and forms one of
the curiOsities Of the district in which it
grows.

Housekeeping Accounts.

of every cent received and spent is one
of the most effectual checks to unneces-
sary outlay. If it is to be Of any service,
this account must be kept regularly and
precisely. The entries, however trifling,
should be made daily, and at the end of
the week the sum total on either side
should be added up and balanced, care
being taken to notice whether the cash
in hand agrees with the statement of

the end Of each month, the details OF
payment should be examined. and each

Recipe for q Happy Day.
Take a little dash of cold water.
A little leaven of prayer,
A little bit of sunshine gold
Dissolved in morning air.
Add to your meal some merriment,
Add thought for kith and kin;

Plenty of work thrown in.

And a little dash of play;

Take Care of the Feet.

In these days of hot sidewalks the
woman who is compelled to stay in town
generally finds, after tour down town,
that her feet have suffered badly. Walk
ing heats and fatigues the feet. standing
causes them to swell, while the pointed
toe and high heel of some of the fash
iOnable boots that are now worn abso-
lutely cripple them, and in these condi-
lions attention should be paid to the
best means of relieving the fatigue ex-
perienced by those long-suffering men,
bers. The best thing of all would be the
universal adoption of the footgear con-
structed on hygienic principles, not with
sole tapering toward the toe, but
broadcast at the base of the toes, and
continuing as wide, or even wider at
the tip; but fashion has declared that
boots with pointed toes are to be worn,
and worn they will be. For these, then,
relief is to be found in bathing the feet
in hot water, and two hot foot baths q
week and little pedicuring will soon
remove the cause of much discomfort
and fatigue. A warm bath with a small
quantity of sea salt in it is almost as
restful as a nap. Paddle in the water
until it cools, dry with a rough towel,
put on fresh socks or stockings, and the
relief will soon be felt.

The Proper Way to Sew on a Button.
Every one, even the mere man."
thinks he can sew on a button, and so
he can; but there are few people who
can do so properly.
The proper method is to place the but
ton on the material. and to lay a pin
across it so that it divides the button in
half; now sew through the four holes of
the button in such a manner that the
thread always passes over the PIN When
the button has been sewn sufficiently
strong, remove the pin. when it will be
found that the button sits loosely ON the
material. Now bring the needle out be-
tween the button and the material, and
wind the thread round and round to
form little shank; then fasten OF in
the usual manner.
A button sewn on in this way will
last much longer. the strain on it being
lessened, and there is far less risk of
it's tearing the material.
