results OF this centriretal force The
decision makes it doubly necessary to
determine as a matter of public nolicy
the exact and proper relation between
the railroads, npon which our pros
perity so vitality depends, and the
State.
"In this connection, the saglcous
and conservative suggestion of Attor-
ney-General Knox in his notable
speech at Pittsburg, that the anti
trust law should be so modified as to
forbid only unreasonable restraint OF
trade, should be borne in mind. The
Supreme Court, in the joint traffic
decision, by bare majority of one, so
construed the antitrust law as to bring
reasonable as we'll as unreasonable re.
straints of trade within its prohibition
and thus added immensely to the
difficulty OF an already difficult prob
lem. The Attorney-Generals view OF
the existing law has been fully sus-
tanned and his courageous action fully
vindicated and the responsibility must
now rest with the American people to
determine, as legislative and not as
judicial question, how far and under
what conditions the public interest
may, If at all, justify such railway con-
sOlidations as are in restraint of com.

A DOGS Generosity,

The following story is told Of fox
terrier at dog show:
He was very lonely and did his best
to make friends with three Irish ter.
riers in the next pen. He barked in a
coaxing way, he paved at the netting,
and even tried to push his nose
through the meshes, but the Irish ter
riers would have nothing to do with
him. Finally on the last day OF the
show. the owner of the fox terrier
came to exercise him. The man went
into the restaurant to get lunch, and
the terrier laid down under his chair
while he was eating.
When his master went to the desk
to settle his bill, the terrier sprang up
on a chair and seized a turkey leg of
the plate. He trotted along by his
master who did not notice anything
unusual was the matter.
When they reached his pen, and be.
fore his owner could lift him in, the
terrier had jumped in the pen OF his
three lady neighbors.
He thrust the turkey bone in their
midst, then, with joyful bark, quick as
lightning, he jumped into his own pen.
The three Irish terriers fell upon the
bone, and soon there was not scrap
of meat left on it.
They were very grateful, and they
and the lonely little fox terrier became
great friends.

Her Sphere Of Usefulness is Extending.
The industrial sphere of woman is
constantly enlarging, and Of late years
women have been invading every line
OF employment. From the returns of
the last census it appears that out of
the BOB separate occupations reported
there were only eight in which women
workers fail to appear. 1t is not sur.
prising that there are no women among
the soldiers, the sailors and marines of
the United States government, yet
there are 453 women employed as
" boatmen" and sailors.
Women have not yet invaded the
ranks OF the city fire departments, still
not less than S79 women are returned
in the same general class of watch
men, policemen and detectives"
There are no women street car driv-

Women have not yet taken up the
employment of telegraph and tele.
phone "linemen," yet 22,5OO of them
are operators for these companies.
There are no woman apprentices
and helpers among the roofers and

There are l26 women plumbers; As

Puzzled as to Gender

That environment has a great influ.
ence over the minds of children when
it comes to the assimilation of knowl-
edge, is ever and anon brought to the
fore. An illustration of this was given
the other day by bright boy pupil at
the Mary Disston public school at Ia
cony, where nearly of the residents are
versed in farming.
A flag raising was held at the school.
house several days ago, and after the
banner had been flung to the breeze
an exhibition was held of the drawings
and work OF the pupils during the past
year. A teacher told this story of one
OF her little boy pupils: She had re.
cited to the class the story OF the land
ing OF the Pilgrims, and as the child
rem had been taking up the work she
requested each scholar to try and
draw from the Imagination a picture
of the Plymouth rock. Then it was
that the little fellow got up and raised
his hand.
"Well, Willie, what 10 it?" asked
the teacher.
Please, ma'am, do you want hen
or rooster drawn" came the unex.
pected reply.

typhoid fever, can be prevented by dis
solving can of lye in boiling water
and pouring it down the kitchen sink

copperas costs but little, and this
quantity will make gallon of saturate
solution; pour little OF this down
each waste-pipe, or drain, about the
premises, and the amount of waste
and water that will be carried off by it
will do more toward the proper santa

The first thing to do with sprain
is to apply water as hot as can be
borne and repeat until the pain is
gone. The hot water may be showered
on the sprain, or wet cloths may be
used if frequently renewed. The foot
or ankle can be conveniently immersed
in hot water. The next thing is to
keep the injured part thoroughly warm.
This is done by winding it with wad-
ding or flannel. The less sprained

the more likely it is to get we'll quick

HOW WE GET BANANAS.
A Fruit That Is Rapidly Increasing in Pop.
ularity.


When we think how many bananas
it takes to supply the demand in our
large cities and that we have no State
near enough to the tropics-unless it
may be Florida-to produce the fruit
we wonder indeed, where all the ba.
nanas come from, for there seems to
be no end OF them in this country.
Most of those sent to the States come
from Colombia, the little Central
American republic, and Bocas del
Toro, one of its towns, is the largest
banana port in the world.
The history OF bunch of bananas
is very interesting, and it must be re-
membered that each plant bears only
one bunch and then is cut down.
First of all the underground of a
jungle is cleared. This is done with
the machete. Then the space is care.
fully divided of by engineers and
stakes are driven in the ground about
six or eight feet apart to allow for the
growth and spreading of the trees.
Bulbs from the roots of old banana
trees are placed in small holes beside
each stake. Afterward all the big
trees around are felled, sometimes they
are burned as they lie, but oftener
they rot on the ground.
Then the plantation is thoroughly
cleared, and again in another six
months; by this time the banana
trees have grown to height of thirty
feet, and the first bananas are ready to
be cut. "This is done," SAYS a we'll.
known Bocas planter, "with long
sharpened sticks, which are jabbed
into the trees few feet below the
bunch. The weight of the fruit causes
the stem to bend over until it falls
within reach of the cutter, who sewers
it with sharp machete." The plan.
tations are so vast and SO many suck.
ers" or trees, are allowed to grow at
each root that constant supply in
various stages is kept mp, and plowine
is only necessary at the end OF every
ten or twelve years, when it is time to
replant.
When all the fruit is cut it is packed
on horses and taken to the railroad
The cars are open and every precautiou
is taken to prevent bruising the fruit
These trains are rushed 10 the pier
where the punches are placed on light
ers to wait for the steamers.

A MAN who is receiving S. per day
wages recently undertook to ascertain
how much better off he was than in
1897. He found that in that year he
was receiving $3.50 per day but bill
for meat and provisions which amount
ed to $54 would, at prosperity prices,
have amounted to $73.79. In other
words, the same same amount of pro-
visions which could be bought for II
days labor in 1897 would cost 14a days
labor in 1902.
