Mere Men of Straw.

Such contentious are wide OF the
mark, mere men of straw. An that
the government complains OF is the eN,
istence OF corporation to repress com
merce and is not concerned with the
other points.
Justice Harlan said that in this day
there should be no doubt of the com,
plete power of congress 10 control in,
terstate commerce-all appropriate
means might be resorted TO for that
purpose, and all prior trust cases are in
support of that contention
Whether free and unrestrained com,
petition was wise, he said, was an eco
nomic question with which the court
need not concern itself the question
was that of statutory law.
He asserted that the power of con-
grcSs over interstate commerce was as
complete as the power of state over
domestic commerce. Coming 10 the
plea OF the railroads that the antitrust
law should be declared demonstrations
al, he said that the court could not see
its way to that end.
IF" he went an, the Securities
Co.'S contentious are sound, why may
not all the railroads of the United
States enter into a combination and
by the device of holding corporation
control rates throughout the country in
defiance of congress"
The courts had consistently held To
the supremacy of the national laws in
case OF conflict between those laws
and the laws of the states. So long as
congress confined itself TO its pre-:
scribed functions, he said, there could
be no danger. At any rate the error,
II any, was with congress, and it was
for congress to supply the remedy, ana
not for the courts.
Justice Harlan also discussed the
predictions of financial disaster from
but enforcement oft he antitrust law,
but discouraged them, saying they
were usual under such circumstances
and need not be realized
I'm our Judgment the evidence fully
sustains the material allegations of the
bill and shows a violation of the act OF
congress in so far as it declares illegal
every combination or conspiracy in re.
straint of commerce among the several
states and with foreign nations and for
bids attempts to monopolize such com
Judge Harlan stated that the de.
PENDANT had no grounds for complaint
against the circuit court, which had
rendered IA broad minded decision In
he said:
The Judgment of this court is that
the decree of the circuit court be and
hereby is affirmed, with liberty to the
circuit court to proceed in the execu-
ton of the decree as the circumstance
may require"

CLEFT GRATING.

(5) in doing the work rapidly, so that
the surface may not be dried by ex-
posture.
G~rafting-wax is generally used for
covering the wounds made in grating.
A good gr%afting-wax is one that will
not become too soft in summer, so as
to melt and run down the stock, or so
hard in winter as to crack and split off.
A very reliable grafting-wax is made
by melting together four parts (by
weight) of resin, two parts of beeswax
and one part of tallow. When we'll
melted, pour into a pail of cold water,
grease the hands slightly, and pull the
wax until it is about the color of pulled
enthusiastically. Make into balls, and
store for use. This wax should be
warmed when applied. If it is too
hard, more tallow and less resin may
be used.
Clay is frequently used for covering
wounds made by grating, and gives
quite as good results as any of the
wakes if properly applied. For this
purpose some very tenacious clay
should be used, and it is thought to be
improved when mixed with about one
third fresh cow-dung and a little plas-
terer's hair. The whole mass should
be thoroughly worked over before u.s.
Ing.
Cleft-grafting is a very common form
Of grating, and is more universally
known and used than any other. 1t Is
commonly performed to change the
bearing of apple, plum and various
other trees and plants. 1t is generally
the most practical method to use on
branches two or three inches in diane
ter, but it also works well on quite
small stocks.
Cleft-grafting is performed as fol-
lows: The place selected for the in
sertion of the scion should be where
the grain of the wood is straight. The
stock is then cut square off with a
sharp saw and is split through its CEN
ter with a grafting-chisel to a depth
sufficient to allow the scion to be put
in place. The cleft is held open by the
chisel until the scion is cut and insert
ed, when the wedge is withdrawn, al
lowing the stock to close on the scion
and so hold it in place. If the stock
does not spring back so as to hold the
scion firmly, it should be tightly drawn
together with a string. The number
Of scions inserted will depend upon the
stock. If the stock is not over three
fourths of an inch in diameter, one
scion is enough to insert, but on larger
stocks two may be put in. All the cut
surfaces, including the ends of the
scions, should now be covered with
wax. The scion to be inserted in cleft
grating should be cut wedge-shaped
lengthwise.-Farm and Fireside.

Purpose of Pruning GRAPES

| The purpose of pruning is to leave
only a sufficient number of buds on
canes of the current seasons growth
to give such an amount of fruit the
coming season as the age and strength
Of the vine can support. Pruning
should be varied somewhat to suit the
habits of the different varieties. The
stronger growing sorts should have
more wood allowed them than the
weaker ones. The vines should not
be allowed to bear much fruit until
strong enough to grow vigorous canes
with strong laterals. Thrifty laterals
develop fruit buds near the base.
These laterals are cut back to from
four to six buds. depending on the
age and strength of the vine. Allow
as much fruit to set as the vine can
support and grow to perfection

Scion is the term used to express
the part inserted, of whatever size or

spring, they should always be cut late
In the fall. Spring-cut scions may often
be used successfully, but it is not safe

sawdust or sand in a cold cellar, or

The principles which underlie graft
ing are the same as in budding-that
is, the scion and stock must be closely
related; the work must be done in such
a manner that the inside bark of both
scion and stock come closely in con-
tact, and at a season of the year and

Formation of a Lake.

A remarkable phenomenon is report
ed from the Russian rural commune of
Schava, in the government of Ezareff
Koksaka. Inexplicable sounds were
heard for several days issuing from the
earth. The sounds varied from some
thing like the booming of cannon to the
s%creechlng of steam whistles, and
seemed to come from a forest skirting
the commune. In this forest, where
the terrified peasantry gathered in ex-
p%ectation of some calamity, the earth
was seen to heave necessarily. Grad
ually huge cracks appeared and water
was seen. At last the earth seemed
gradually to sink, water rose and there
appeared a new lake of considerable ex-
tent, which is now being examined by

Powerful Poisons.

Cyanide of potassium and h%ydrocyanic
or prussic acid are considered by most
people to be about the most poisonous
OF known substances. This is an error.
They are most rapidly acting of all pois-
ons, but not the most potent. One drop
OF pure prussic acid placed in the eye Of
a large dog will kill 1t within two sec
onds and such a dose will kill a man. But
there is an alkaloid in aconite roof,
called pseudaconitine, one three-hun-
dreth part of d grain of which will kill
a moderate-sized animal. This is the
deadliest poison known, being 300 times
as toxic as prussic acid.

PAY OF THE SHIPS DOCTOR
System in Vogue on Ocean Passenger
Steamers from Which There Is
Seldom a Departure.

A correspondent of a recent edition OF
Lloyd's Weekly has expressed the views
of a ship doctor in the following words:
Many travellers are in doubt as to
the position of the ships doctor in re-
gard to his remuneration from passen-
gers for services rendered. The mer-
chant shipping act enacts that every
foreign-going vessel having 100 persons
on board or upward shall carry on
board as part of her complement a
duly qualified medical practitioner. Fur
thermore, an emigrant ship. e., a for
eign-going vessel which carries SO or
more steerage passengers-must have
a medical man irrespective of the num-
Der of crew or of other passengers car
ried. The salary of the doctor on board
is commensurate with these duties to
his ship.
L any passengers who are suffer-
ing from ordinary forms of seasickness
and it's concomitant evils or who re-
ceived injuries which are in any way due
to the ship, the doctors services are
free. For any sickness contracted be-
fore sailing or during a voyage which is
not connected with the above-named
conditions, he is entitled to a
ton at the same rate as he would re-
ceive on shore. Obviously it would be as
unfair to expect that his services to
passengers should be rendered gratis or
it would be for any visitor in a hotel or
traveller on a railway to expect to have
medical attendance free in any illness
for which the hotel or railway author
tiles could not be held responsible.
"The writer of a letter to the Lancet
says that the case of the ships surgeon
Is stated with accuracy, in the above
sentences and adds that the ships sur
geons are of two kinds-first, those who,
after they have qualified, take a posi-
ton either for health or for pleasure,
and, second, those who elect to make
sea life a nermanency.
"The pay of the ships doctor varies
from $50 to $50 a month. This, for du-
ties to officers and crew. AS regards pas
sengers in relation to the surgeon, the
following groups will include all: First,
the passenger who takes the initiative
by remunerating the surgeon, perhaps
handsomely, for any services rendered;
second, the passenger who asks for his
bill and pays it, if reasonable; third, the
passenger who, travelling for the first
time, does not know whether to ask for
his bill or wait for it to be delivered,
but is pleased to be enlightened on the
matter; fourth, the passenger who
clings to the old-time notion that the
surgeon is there solely for the benefit
OF passengers, and, fifth, the passenger
who never intends to pay the sur,
geon."
