that uniform duties must be collected

ADMINISTRATIONS VICTORY.

New York. May 2s.-Attorney General
John W Griggs said OF the supreme

"lt Is a splendid victory for the aa-
ministration on the vital principle OF

government on the only really important
point involved. Three distinct classes ~
action were involved. one protesting
against the collection OF tariff upon inn
pCsts from Porto Rico after the dste Of
our armed occupancy Of the island and
before the date Of the ratification Of the
treaty OF peace. another protesting
against tariff charges on imports between
the ratification and the passage OF the
Foraker act and third attacking the
Foraker law as unconstitutional.
THE court decides that the Foraker
act is constitutional. that this country
has the legal right 70 govern its new pos
sions as territories. 20 make special laws
for them and to tax their products.

administration from the very start. II

Young Queen Wilhelmina of Holland
uses nothing but eau de cologne and
soap of white heliotrope.
The Dowager Queen of Italy shows
her patriotism by invariably using
Palermo soap and Roman cream.
The Empress Frederic, like Queen
Wilhelmina, thinks that there is no
perfume in the world which equals
that of the best eau de cologne.
The Empress of Russia has on her
dressing table only the following
French essences: Jonquil jasmine.

Miss Thomas uttered vehement pro-
tests against abandoning her things"
but her father was obdurate, and she
had no choice but to follow them.
When the crest of the next rise of
ground was under their feet, Isle
pointed out the light and said that he
would ride on. which he did without in
the least needing the many objections
raised by the young lady. In truth, he
was filled with dismay concerning what
his father would say in view of the
prospect of receiving a woman into
the house, and Furthermore he wished
an opportunity to consider what his
own conduct should be toward her in
juxtapOsition with all the prejudice
that had been instilled into his mind
against her sex. He knew already that
he did not like her. She was very diff
ferent from anything that he had ever
seen before, but he remembered that
the light in which he had viewed her
was very imperfect. He paid no at
tention to her calls for him to return.
The light of the house was in view.
That was enough. He had never been
taught that it is customary to show
women more consideration than men.
He supposed that they should be as
self reliant as men, and this one, he
mentally decided, was a baby, afraid
of the dark and doubtless of her own
shadow. He had the same contempt
for fear of any kind that any man of
his training would have had, and he
did not consider that a woman was pri-
marily eXcusable for entertaining it.
Richard Maxwell was standing on
the veranda when he rode up. He knew
that Lsle had ridden away in the

return but he was not prepared for

angered him all at once, but no trace
of these emotions expressed themselves

How Colorado Desert Was Formed.


Everybody knows, without looking at
the map, how Lower California runs
south from the Pacific coast like sort
of tail, separated from the United
States-for it is a part Of Mexico, as
some people are not aware-by long
arm of the sea called the gulf of Cali
fornia. Once upon a time the gulf ex-
tended in a northward direction 300
miles beyond its present inland limit.
Into this northerly extension the great
Colorado river emptied millions of tons
of detritus annually until the deposit
accumulated in quantity sufficient to
shut off the upper part of the gulf,
which was thus transformed into
lake. To begin with, of course it was
salt lake, but it gradually became fresh
through the influx of water from the
Colorado. Thereupon fresh water
fishes, mollusks and other creatures not
of the brine were developed in it, and
in this way it happens that the dry
bottom today is covered with their fos-
sill remains.
