these animals, attached to their carts
are to be the main attraction.
In London and in Boston these pa

inquire more minutely into the English

Decision Of Interstate Com
mission on It's Legality.
NO DISCRIMINATION APPEARS
No Justification for the Issue
of ANY Order in the
Premises.

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has. in an opinion by Commissioner
Clements. promulgated a decision in the
matter of the transportation of immi-
grants from New York and other At
lantic ports to Western destinations.
Upon investigation by the commission
Of practices applied in the westbound
transportation of immigrants from New
York and other AtlaBtic ports It APP
peared. among other things that this
immigrant traffic is divided between the
carriers in agreed proportions, based
upon the proportion of the domestic pas
senger traffic done by each line; that,
apparently, such a practice cannot be
made effective in respect to any other
class Of passenger business; that the
immigrants are carried from the sea-
board at domestic published rates. and
that the arrangements adopted by the
carriers in connection with the immi-
grafton authorities Of the United States
for handling immigrant business have
efficiently promoted the protection and
greatly improved the treatment ana
comfort Of immigrants.
Law Nay Not Apply.
The decision OF the commission is that
Nnetner section OF the act 20 regulate
commerce, prohibiting carriers from en-.
tering into any contract, agreement, or
combination for the pooling Of freights

Orphans in Australia.

From the Chicago News.
Australia is continent without an or
phanage. Each waif is taken to a receiving
house, where 1t is cared for till country
home Is found. The local volunteer socie-
ties Canvass their neighborhoods and send
to the children's committee the names of
any families they have found where chill
dren may be placed. The children's COM
mittee selects the home which It Judges Is
best adapted to the development of the
child in question. No child is placed In a
family so poor that the child might suffer.
The foster-parent receives a sum averaging
81. per week for the care of the child and
for proper clothing.
When of school age the child must be
sent to school, The local volunteer commit
tee looks after its care and culture and
jealous neighbors often assist in watching
the growth and education Of these happy
children. When the child Is fourteen years
old he begins to work. His earnings are
placed In the postal savings bank, and at
the age of seventeen or eighteen he goes
out into the world Independent
Thus the state at an expense of about $50
a year has raised man or woman to con-
tribute to its wealth and prevented the
manufacture of criminal and the expense
Of courts. prisons and reformatoriss.

GREAT TIME-SAVER.
A New Telegraph System Now Being
Tried in England.

United States Consul Liefeld at Freiburg.
Germany has made report to the State
Department in regard to a new hlgh-speed
telegraph instrument now being tested by
the British postal officials. which 1t is
claimed will revolutionize the telegraph
service of today. The invention is said to
be as great an advance on the Morse in
strument as that was upon its predeces-
sor the single needle
The new system uses a paper tape, which,
instead Of being hand punched, Is perforat-
ed by an instrument. The tape at the
other end of wire is similarly perforated,
instead of being marked by dots and
dashes. This tape can be placed upon an
other machine, which converts the perfora-
lions into printed words on telegraph forms
at the rate of about 100 to $50 words a
minute The system is four or five times
as fast as the Morse, and consists of three
stages:
The telegram is copied on a machine
resembling a typewriter. Paper tape runs
through this and is perforated as each let
ter is struck.
. The message, as it appears on the tape,
is run at a very rapid rate through a
trarsmitter and an exact facsimile of the
tame is produced at the other end Of the
2. The tape is put through a typewriter
with automatic mechanism, driven by a
small electric motor, and the message re-
appears neatly printed, lined and spaced.
This last stage may be described as being
similar In effect to the placing of paper
rolls of music in an automatic piano.
Whereas in that case the perforations are
the cause of the notes being struck and the
music being produced, so in this instrument
the perforated paper is the cause of the
typewriter keys going down and the ham,
mers containing the letters striking the tele-
graph form and producing letters and words
One of the effects of the use of this instru-
ment, provided it be found ultimately to
come up to expectations would be a great
saving of time. as a wire would be capable
of carrying four or five times as many
words as at present, and fewer persons
would consequently be required to perform
the work. Any person able to operate a
typewriter can transmit messages by the
new system.

NOT So BAD AFTER ALL.
Gen. Wood Speaks Well of the Climate
. Of theOPhilippines.

According to Gen. Leonard Wood, COM
manding the military department of Min
danao, the climate of the Philippines must
be regarded as healthy climate despite all
that has been written to the contrary.
Troops" he says have been constantly
on the go in all seasons and in all wealth
ers, and the number of sick has never been
such as to in any way embarrass the move
ments of troops. II the soldier will avoid
the excessive use Of alcohol and drink only
boiled or distilled water he can eat the
fruits Of the country and expose himself to
sun and rain with practical impunity. There
is no reason to belixe that men are debilitat-
ed by service In this department, or that
they REQUIRE q change after two years of
service. Service may be monotonous and
the desire for transfer home corresponding
ly great, but there Ia nothing in the effects
of climatic conditions to necessitate it. This
statement IL borne out by the records of
this department for the past year. and by
the condition Of civilians who have been
here continuously for four years, and report
themselves in excellent health, statement
borne out by their appearance The chief
surgeon reports that Notwithstanding a far
greater amount Of field service this wear
than during the preceding year, the health
of the troops has been BETTER

The Oblique Feminine Vision.

From the London Chronicle.
Take any average man and any average
woman. question them as to the dress and
department of the people in any assembly
where they were together and you will find
that the woman has seen more than the
man. For woman has been compelled to
enlarge the angle of her vision and to see
all around her hat without shifting an eye.
From an early age instinct tells the girl,
and convention seals the instinct that she
must not look directly at the man in the
street Therefore the honest woman wa ks
through London looking straight ahead.
The direct look at the stranger is forbidden
Yet human curiosity compels. So develops
and eHiarges that angle of vision. For no
woman will deliberately blind herself Ana
therefore by continual exercise those calm
conventional eyes that look to the horizon
and the Infinite have trained themselves to
see the world out of the corners-obiqueIy.

Whereas a woman will go into some
vast establishment intent on spending a

and will successfully scrutinize half a

wanted and retire without buying any, a
man will stray in without any fixed plan
of purchase and will sometimes purchase
