Exudes LeuaI Lore

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 24.-The
supreme court Of the United States
aff1rmed the opinion of the lower
courts in the case of Cornell VS. Coyne.
late collector of the port at Chicago,
winch Is known as the filed cheese
case. Cornell Is a manufacturer of
flled cheese for export only He re-
fused to pay the federal tax on this
product on the ground that such a
tax was tax on exports and there
fore In violation of the constitution.
Justice Brewer, who delivered the
opinion of the court. did not sustain
this view. holding that the constitution
intended to prohibit the taxation of ex-
ports as such, but not to discriminate
In favor OF articles intended for export
In the way of ordinary taxation as
against other articles.
An opinion was handed down by
Justice Day in the case of Jackson
Giles VS.. The Board of Registration of
Montgomery county, Ala. dismissing
the case for want of Jurisdiction. no
federal question being involved. The
case involved the suffrage clause of the
new constitution of Alabama. This
provision was attacked as a discrim-
fnation against the colored race, of
which Giles is a member. The effect
OF the decision is against Giles.
The supreme court decided the case
of Al. Adams, the so-called policy king
of New York. the opinion being by JUS
tice Day.
In an opinion by Justice Holmes. the
supreme court dismissed the appeal OF
Chinese laborers whose deportation
had been ordered under the exclusion
laws. The contention was made that
recent legislation had had the effect of
repeating the law under which deporta-
ton was ordered
Justice White delivered the opinion
of the court in the case of w. J. But
terfield VS.. Collector Stranahan, of
New York, involving the constitution
ality of the act of congress regulating
the importation of tea The decision
was favorable to the collector and up
held the law.

The management of the New York

In accordance with directions of the
health department. Well, well, what
next? Some one has discovered that
public telephones are splendid reposi-
tories for the deadly germ, and some
where near Philadelphia kissing is pro-
hibited for the same reason. The germ
theory has certainly taken away much
of the comfort of living (witness the
last prohibidon); before long each in
dividual will have to be encased in an
antiseptic cage from which he will look
upon the world with sad-but sterilized
eyes. When science-and Ohage-
get through with us, life will be no
longer worth the living. On the one
hand we have the medical profession
and the health department, telling us
that almost everything is dangerous
owing to the ubiquity and numerosity
(that word belongs to this Department.
of the aforesaid germs from which
there is no escape, and, on the other
hand, there are the adherents Of the
new thought who are constantly abjur-
ing us to cast away all fear. Now
here's pretty state of things. Which
shall we take, germs or the new
thought? Everything is full of germs,
we are told, even money. but as far as
heard from no one has ever refused
currency on the ground that 1t is dan
gerous to health. Read in medical
journals the accounts Of how many mil
lion microbes there are round us all the
time, how drinking water is full of
them, food is reeking with them, the
air we breathe is made up largely of
them, to say nothing of the festive
germs concealed in all clothes, furni-
ture, wallpaper, ETC., and you will ask
yourself, is it worth while to continue
the struggle? We might as we'll admit
that we are no match for germs This
is all very depressing when To- we
meet some one who calmly waves it all
aside and refuses to believe in the
theory at all. We have in mind a man
who pooh -poohed the germs, snapped
his fingers at the revelations of science,
drank all kinds OF water in all sorts of
places, and lived to a hearty old age
OF course, if the health department had
known about him he would probably
have been quarantined and sent to the
pesthouse, or the new Jail, which is so
lovely and sanitary, but he escaped
them all, and year ago he died a
natural death, cut down at ninety-four.
de took no stock in modern science, but
on the other hand, had never heard Of
the new thought, so was not saved by
casting out fear. We leave the solution
of this problem to wiser heads
We believe, on the whole, that the
new thought has some advantages over
the germ theory; 1t is certainly more
comfortable to defy the murderouS mi
crobe and live without fear, to say
nothing Of its being more conducive to
happiness. So let us try to forget the

One dainty dress that has just been

skirt, shirred over cords around the
front and sides to below the hips. but
the back breadths are shirred directly
to the belt. The waist is likewise shir-
red over cords to the depth of deep
yoke, and these fall in full folds to the
wide girdle belt of delicate blue chif

flowing sleeves of elbow length are
shirred at the top and caught into the

introduced here and there, is worn
with this gown.
