save it from scourge that is other

an aggregate capital Of $50O.O00,O0
are preparing to move out of the State

courts of Illinois have assumed SO dis
tinctly an antitrust complexion in leg
is,ation and decisions that the corpora
tons have decided to rctaliate by with
drawing their interests to other fields.

ment of privates in the army OF
France by their officers gives new en-
phasis to the danger of arbitrary
power. 1t is also reported that in
Austria the custom Of boxing the ears
of soldiers and recruits has been so
common and so violent that thousands
of them have suffered such impairment
of their hearing as partly to unfit them
for service. The minister of war has
recently issued a prohibitory order.

A short time ago two yaks were i'm

A short time ago two yaks were i'm
ported to Gothenburg, and were later
sent to Stockholm, Sweden. The sec
rotary of the Gothenburg Touring
club recommends that yaks be import
ed into northern Sweden for use by the
pioneer farmers, the long and cold
winters being rather severe for ordi-
nary cattle. 1t is declared that it would
not be necessary to stall-feed the yak
during winter; that the farmers would
get strong, hardy and tractable beast
Of burden, which also would supply
milk Of good quality. and which could
ind its way even through deep snow.
It remains yet to be seen whether or
not any one is willing to act upon the
suggestion. DR.. Sven Hedin, who dur
ing his expeditions in central Asia has
had opportunities for studying the
yak in its native land, thinks the ex-
pertinent worth trying.
One of our good friends in Kansas
takes exception to our recent state
