He considered that the proposal tha.
India should contribute 10 the cost Of
the troops to be kept in South Africa a.
reasonable.
They had to face the fact that Rus

as that powker increased her strength
so she increased her power Of mobnisa-
ton. No responsible minister should ig-

steadily consolidated her power in Cen

Ancient TabIe Manners.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
 A description of aianer given in 1sG0 shows that there has been, vast im- provement in table manners since then. As rule, one knife had to serve for two people, and often bowl of soup was used by two persons. For this reason tho party giving the. dinner arranged his guests in couples, trying to place people together who would be congenial and not adverse to this common use of table ap- pointments.
 Spoons were seldom supplied to the guests, and the soup was drunk directly from the bowl, the latter usually having side handles by which 1t was held In less refined company there were no sepa- rate soup bowls. only one large porringer which was passed around to the guests in turn. The diners helped themselves to the pieces of meat they desired from the common dish with their fingers.
 Napkins were considered a luxury, and were only provided in very aristocratic and wealthy families.

For an explanation of the abbreviations in tables one and two, and elsewhere in this opinion, see Appendix A.
 For the purposes of the determination of this case. 1t is unnecessary to consider the La Fayette Railway company, the Mobile and Bay Shore. the Chattahoochie Valley Railroad company. the Tallassee and Montgomery Railroad company, the Tombigbee and Northern railway, and the Tuskegee Railroad company. These are lines ranging from five and one-half miles in length to about forty miles, capital ized at from $60, GOO to $25o. 900 Tor their en- tire extent In no instances do their op- erations exert any material bearing upon the questions involved in the petition be- fore the commission
 The roads contained in the foregoing tables, one and two, constitute an entire list of the common carriers Of this state, with which the public have any concern in this proceeding.
 The earnings shown in tables one and two include the pro-rata share of inter business of the several railroads mem tioned in these tables. Deducting the in- terstate business from the purely intra- state business, and considering the lat ter alone, which this commission is by law required to do in revising and es- tablishing freight rates within this state. and it will readily be seen that the above percentage of earnings will be materially reduced. In some instances these earnings will be entirely wiped out by such a re- duction; and where deficits are already shown, 1t necessarily follows that such a deduction will increase the deficit for such roads on purely domestic business.

 After careful investigation, we have found that in no case does the intra= state business exceed one-third Q-S) of the entire business of the several rail- road companies under consideration. In many instances the proportion of such business to the whole is materially less than one-third Q-5). But for the purpose of convenience. and for being safely with in correct limits, we have taken one-third q-3)) of the entire business to ascertain the earnings from lntrastate or domestic business.

Railroads Not Required to Give Same
 Rates In All States.

It is not sufficient argument nor answer to say that rates that can be maintained in Georgia can be maintained in Alabama. "Rairoads may not discriminate against the people of any one state, but are not necessarily bound to give the same rates to the people of all the states, as the kind and amount and cost of business vary in the several states"
 In this connection interesting to note that, notwithstanding the higher rates prevailing in Alabama, the railroads in this state earned less money in the year 1902 than the Georgia railroads. If the Alabama roads upon higher rate were unable to earn as large per cent as the Georgia roads upon lower rate, it would clearly follow that the disparity between the earnings of the roads in the two states would be further widened by placing Alabama upon lower rate than that which now obtains and if the Geor- gia earnings are to be taken as the correct and proper standard for this state, it does not seem that a general reduction in rates at this time will result in placing Alabama upon that basis
 This disparity in the earnings of the several railroad companies doing business in the states of Georgia and Alabama would further seem to emphasize the in- ference that the kind and amount and cost of business do vary in these states.
 Hay and Grain Rates.
 In March 1908, the railroad commission of Alabama ex nero motu cited the sev- eral railroad companies doing business in this state to appear before them at the May session of the commission to show cause why the rates should not be re- duced in Alabama upon hay, grain, and | all the products of grain, including the home-raised and foreign products. Upon the day set for the hearing of this ques- tion, the petition of F. s. Whitt. B. B. Conner ct als in the present case under
