This is all right as far as it goes. but
the simple test of Il cows milk for hpt

given and length of milking period
are just as important factors as tba
butter fat test. We once owned COW

she was fresh. The next mouth. in
spite of all that good feeding and caro-
could do. she would drop off TO siv
pounds, the next month to four pounds
then to three and when she strucl,
three she would keep that gait I'D ins,
as long as one cared to milk her. She
was thus not a profitable COW to keen

Women Writers.

II would know that book was written
by woman even if there was no name
on the title page" said the thoughtful
theorist as he put the volume down. "Of
the heroine it says she looked down Mt
him with dull, unseeing eyes and that's
an infallible sign. | don't know what
the fascination of that use of the word
is to feminine writer's, but it has become
fad with them recently. When the
heroine gets in trouble, her eyes get dull.
Only yesterday picked up a novel with
out looking at the title page and began
reading. Presently | ran across the state
ment that she looked at him duly" and
| Immediately said to myself, Written
by Il woman | was right too. Uuder-
stand, | am not finding fault. I'm only
commenting on popularity that has
impressed itself upon me. No doubt in
the past sharp glances have been used
so extensively in literature that they
have just naturally become dulled. but
so far as | have noticed no one but wo-
man has expressed it that way, and with
her it seems to be becoming more popular
with every passing day | wonder why
il is?"

NEW PESTS,

Judging from the apparently new
types of insect pests which year by
year turn up to annoy the horticuI.
turist, farmer and gardener, it would
seem as though the work Of creation
was not completed when the garden Of
Eden was turned over to Adam ana
that the development of new species Of
insect pests was going on all the line.
Each plant tree or flower, when
brought into general cultivation. soon
er or later develops some breed of bug
bacteria. beetle, aphis, worm or blight
to either paralyze its growth or destroy
its fruitage. The bug professor at lhe
various colleges is usually regarded as
a sort of crank and useless appcudage
by the unthinking public, but the fact
remains that entomology has become
one Of the most important of modern
sciences ana that mans future welfare
and prosperity are going to hinge large
ly upon his ability to fight bugs

DECIDES THE TEST CASES
Continued from tie 4h page.l

consistency of the Court decid-
ing that after the Foraker act,
Porto Rico ceased to be a part of
the United States and before the
Foraker act it was a part of the
United States.
1t was settled law by the de
ciSionS in the Woodruff case and
the Houston case, he said, that
the power of Congress to levy an
impoSt duty did not extend to
any territory that was a part Of
the United States, and the result
of the majority opinion in the
DowneS case thus would be to
bring about a state Of things
where territory which was part
of the States before the Foraker
act became foreign territory
after the Foraker act. The dis
senting Justices throughout their
diSsentS took occasion to criticiSe
sharply the apparent conflict be
tween the majority railing in the
De Lima case and that which
would follow later in the Downes
case.
In the DOwneS case the court
decided that Congress has right
to pass tariff laws for Porto Rico,
even though the island be a ter
ritory of this country.
MANY PROMINENT MEN PRESENT.
4 Many prominent men were
present in the courtroom to hear
the discussion. Long be 70 I G

pec;ed. Among them were Sec
rotary Root and Senators Lodge

the cases before the court were
in evidence, every seat was occu,
pied and the standing spaces be-
hind the outer rail was crowded
RICHARDS DISCUSSES DECISION
Solicitor General Richards gave
his Interpretation OF the opinion
in the De Lima case, read by
Justice Brown as follows:
the Supreme Court reversed
the lower court and held that the
collector had no right to exact
duties coming into New York
from Porto Rico before the pas
sage of the Porto Rican act. The
decision holds that in the alb
Sence of legislation by Congress,
the ceSSion of Porto Rico by
treaty, our acts of sovereignty
over Porto Rico before the pas
sage Of the Porto Rican act were
sufficient to take away from Porto
Rico the character of Il foreign
country within the meaning OF
the Dingley tariff law, There
is nothing i'll the Brown decision,
however, going at the most i'm
portant questions to be settled,
for this decision does not fully
pass on the power Of Congress
over Porto Rico aud over other
insular possessions. The De Lima
case is not a typical case, or the
Justice iii delivering his opinion,
would have said SO. The vital
| questions are, therefore, yet to
be answered in the other opin
ions to be handed down.
HOW VOTE OF JUDGES STOOD.
On political lines in the Porto
Rican case the court divided as
follows:
Majority - Brown, II ar n,
Gray and Brewer, Republicans;
Fuller and Peckham, Democrats.
Minority McKenna and ShiraS.

A Dainty Touch,

1t is a recent fashion to supply the
soap dish on the washstand in the guest
chamber with tiny cake of soap stll in
Its paper wrappings. This shows that it
Is absolutely fresh and that the guest
who frequently carries with her her mi.
vate cake of soap need not produce it.
The paper wrapped soap is proof of hay
ing received no previous use. For this
purpose provide cake of fine soap. one
delcately scented with orris or vio-
let Small cakes are preferable to large
ones. The individual cake is a great in
stitution. Surely the soap which Won
handle is only second to your toothbrush
as a personal belonging.
Another attention which it is well TO
pay your guest is to furnish the writing
table in her room with the name of your
house and giving the address. OF course
you must not place there the paper with
the hostess cipher, but 'house paper
which explains ones whereabouts.
