Senator Burrows is rather a fine.
looking man. He dresses well. lie
keeps his hair and beard neatly
trimmed. He has fairly good voice.
He is the faithful servant of the peo-
ple"- that is, of the people who made
him Senator. He has considerable rep
utation as an orator-among people
who never heard him and with few
who mistake his shallow, iamboyaut
utterances for oratory. He Is credited
with representing the commonwealth
of Michigan in the United States Sen
ate. But Julius Caesar Burrows never
had any thoughts of his own. never
did an act i'll public life of his own
accord, never made speech giving his
own thoughts and never performed
any public action of his own volition
that entitled him TO the position which
he assumes to occupy or to the respect
and confidence of the people.-Grand

ESKIMO BOWS AND ARROWS.
How the Natives Use Twisted Cords of
Reindeer Sinew.

How the Natives Use Twisted Cords of
Reindeer Sinew.
AS every one knows. the Eskimos.
with very few exceptions, inhabit re-
gion which is perfectly treeless, or at
any rate where nothing grows but the
pines and spruces. whose soft, inelastic
wood is entirely useless for making
bows. says Popular Science Monthly.
They have overcome this difficulty very
effectively by fastening along the back
OF the bow twisted cords of reindeer
snew in such way that each cord is
stretched when the bow is bent and
flies back when the bowstring is releas-
ed. AS far as we know. no other race
of sayages makes use of this ingenious
contriyance. Some tribes of Indians
are in the habit of stiffening their
bows by backing them with strings
of sinew. glued on. but the Eskimo
backing is made of cords and tied on.
As old Martin Frobisher. the first Eng
lishman who ever saw the Esllimos, IL
1877. tells us: Their bowes are OF
wood yaid long. sinewed on the back
with strong sinews. rot glued too, but
fast girded and tted on"
In some regions the Eskimos when.
first visited by white men were still
using bows with very simple back

twine running from one end of the bow
to the other. twisted together tightly

The United States Supreme Court has

Justice Harlan.
Outside of the Texas statute the Illi-
nois antitrust law has been the most
stringent in the country and many corpo-

are in the courts against corporations for
failing to comply with various provisions
Of the antitrust statute. and these cases
will be affected by the decision

jurist based his opinion on the same
ground as the higher court, taking excep-

its provisions the agriculturist and stock
raiser Judge Kohisaat held that the
statute was tainted with class and spe-
cial legislation and was in contravention
of both the federal and State constitu-

TO confine his inding TO the clause in
question but placed the ban on the entire
act. which is known as the Illinois anti
