Railroad Rate leaisIation.

Testifying before the senate commit tee at Washington, Interstate Con- merce Commissioner Prouty said in discussing the proposition to give to that commission the power to regulate railway rates:
 ''I think the railways should make ttheir own rates. l think they should be allowed to develop their own busi ness. 1 have never advocated any law, aLd am not now in favor of any law, which would put the rate making pow court. While it may be necessary to do that some time, while that is done in some states at the present time, while it is done in some countries, l am opposed to it. The railway rate is property. It is all the property that the railway has got. The rest of its property is not good for any thing unless 1t can charge rate. Now it has always seemed to me that when rate was fixed, if that rate was an unreasonable rate, it depriyes the rail road company of it's property pro tanto. It is not necessary that you should con- fiscate the property of a railroad; it is not necessary that you should say that it shall not earn three per cent or four per cent. When you put in rate that is inherently unreasonable, you have deprived that company of it's rights, of its property, and the circuit court of the United States has jurisdiction un- der the Fourteenth amendment to re- strain that. I have looked at these cases great many times, and I can only come to the con- clusion that railroad company is en- titled to charge fair and reasonable rate, and if any order of commission, if any statute of a state legislature takes away that rate, the Fourteenth amendment protects the railway com pany."

An Eufant Terrible.

The King of Spain in his baby days obtained considerable renown us a most original enfant terrible. On one occasion, when accompanying his roy al mother on a morning walk in the courts and gardens, they paused at the reading room of the officials. How many papers do you read every day? inquired the queen of one. Perhaps seven or eight" was the reply. "Ah that is not so much. I read ten every day" said the queen. His little maj esty pulled her sleeve impulsively "No, no, mamma, you don't read them," he corrected; you only look al them"

men may be mentioned Nathaniel Banks, the president of the Illinois Central Railroad, who had formerly for three years. from 1857 to 1860. been governor of the State of Massa- chusetts.
 Appointed as major general of vol unteers and assigned to the Fifth Corps of the Army of the Potomac. Nathaniel Banks proceeded to make Cs good a record for himself in the army as be had in executive and business affairs. He distinguished himself es- pecially at the battle of Winchester on the 23d of March, 1862. Left in April and May to guard the valley of the Shenandoah, and even after. through some e1igency of the service, the troops of Gen. Shields had been withdrawn and the troops of Banks numbered only about 5000 men, hq succeeded in holding out against the onslaught of so great commander as Stonewall Jackson.
 In the hard-fought battle of Cedar Mountain, on June 27, 1862, the forces under Banks attained a great victory. Banks was then appointed to take charge of the expedition of New Or leans, and while in command of the district there captured Port Hudson.

GOLD FROM SEA WATER.
Experiments Prove that Briny Deer
 Is Great Treasure House.

Experiments Prove that Briny Deep
 Is a Great Treasure House.
 It has long been asserted that gold exists in a state of solution in the sea, and that in the many attempts to e1- tract 1t some has been collected and precipitated, but 1t is admitted that failure has attended every effort at extractio on a commercial basis. The announcement Is now made, however, says the Cincinnati Enquirer, that a new process has received the sanction of no less a person that Sir William Ramsay, professor of chemistry in University College, London, officer of the French Legion of Honor, core spending members of the Institute of France, member of scientific and phil osophical societies in nearly every civ ilized country, and the author of nu- merous scientific papers and treatises.
 The new process is patented, but no further description of 1t is given than that 1t "bears a certain resemblance to the treatment adopted in the mines of the Witwatersrand" South Africa).
 It is said that 6 syndicate, whose title and address are not given, has been quietly picking up favorable sites on the English and Irish coasts. and has now acquired rights over some 50 miles of foreshore. The securing of extensive foreshore rights is necessary because the sea water must be abso- lutely pure to obtain the best results from the new process. Therefore, fac tories and pumping stations must be established well out of reach of pass ing steamers, the bilge water from which would contaminate the sur rounding sea and derangs the process of extraction.
 Some forty years ago active expert ments began which showed that gold in minute quantities was dissolved in many rivers and streams and later on measurement of gold in sea water placed the amount at about grain in each ton of the water. A grain of gold being worth about cents and the tons of water in the ocean being placed at 60,000, ,ooo, ,000, 600, 1t staggers the mind to attempt to compute in dollars the prodigious total value of the gold in the ocean.
 Should the new process do all that its friends sanguinely claim for 1t, gold would almost become a drug on the market; but 1t is considerably remark. ed that "it would obviously not serve the interests of the synidacet to se- cure gold in greater quantities than the market could absorb. Moreover the firm of fnancisrs whom we believe to be mainly concerned in the develop ments is far too deeply involved in high finance to engage in any opera dons which would have an unsettlinR effect upon the currency"

From the cities on Puget Sound, in the State of Washington, the eye ranges to the Olympic Mountains, whose serrated profile marks the ex- treme northwestern corner of the Unit ed States, and their peaks and the great forests at their feet constitute q practically unexplored region. pr. H. S. Conard of the Johns Hopkins Uni versity says that Mt. Olympus, the chief of the range Is s.150 feet in ele- vation; but there are many peaks varying from 1000 to 5000 feet The vegetat ton on the rugged hills and in the valleys is truly remarkable. Below the elevation of 5000 feet the gigantic trees of the great northwestern forest are so thick and the undergrowth is so tangled that by hard work one can travel a quarter of mile in an hour" of the trails.

the use of describing a scullyoloose when they are all dead?"
 The correspondent agreed that there was no use talking about an extinct species, and brought the conversation back to deer.
 T would strongly urge every farmer who Is prepared to take care of a bunch of deer to begin herd and grow a few every year. No other ani- nal pays so large a dividend, consid- ering the small expense and trouble of keeping the deer. They will thrive in any woods lot and 8 six-foot fence will retain them. They live to a great age; the does breed regularly twice a year, and they are uniformly healthy. The meat is easily kept and is the most delicious for table use that man can treat himself to. It is a kings dish when fresh. and dried venison Is recog- nized as luxury by all epicurfes. The horns make beautiful ornaments, the bucks shedding their horns once year. The skins are valuable and the milk of deer Is the sweetest ana richest of any.
 Tn fact" concluded Mir. Harris. T am a deer enthusiast, and I wish more farmers would diversity to the extent of raising deer for their own tables and the markets. have none for sale understand, and have no other interest in these beautiful animals than my love for them-tc look at and to eat"

The Wonderful Tfbetans.

If another nationality were needed to round out and complete the British family resembling the English, Irish. Scotch and Welsh, but a compromise between their various qualites-it is suggested that such a nation has been brought to light in the Ttbetans, who seem to combine all the traits that have made the Brit ish nation what 1t is
 They are, first, exceedingly devout In religion; they appear to be remark able business men, hard-headed as any Scotsman, having keen eye for open ings, and drive hard bargains; and they are said to be as full of humor- ous sentiment as the widest of Irish men.
 They celebrated Christmas last year. and took to the festival as to the man. ner born. A company of them, at- tired in the most grotesque costumes, paraded under the leadership of a white bearded old man, representing Father Christmas and danced to weird, inharmonious music in the han. piest fashion. They made fun of great dignitaries. and even of one who was dressed up as the Emperor of China.
 A delightful people they appear to be, and Lassa. too, seems to be full of reminders of the right little, tight little island. Mir Millington, the au- thor of ''To Lassa at Last" says he saw in the shops looking glasses made in Austria, penknives made in Ger. many. and a certain popular type of English bicycle

Texas Farmer Raises Animals and
 Finds Them Profitable.
 Raise deer and live at home. Plant few acres of lawns and watch them grow; observe their antics and note their beauty from day to day. and you will become a deer enthusiast. You will quit cotton and become deer cul- turist-"
 This is the advice of R. H. Harris, who, with his brother, J. M. Harris, has beautiful park on their farm near this city, which park is stocked with deer, says a Clarksyille (Texas special to the Galveston News. There are twenty of these beautiful animals in the Messrs. Harris collection, and they are an attractive sight. The young ones are never still except when asleep, and they are not heavy sleepers. Their gambols would amuss a stoic, and they are a delight to all persons who see them.
 About three years ago my brother and I secured six deer and placed them in our park, which is a shady grove adjacent to our old homestead" :" said Mir. Harris. The increase in the three years has been far beyond our expectations. We have used several on our table, and at this time have twen- ty, all from the original stock of six. In addition to this we have given away and shipped many others to different parts of the country, one as far away as New York State. The does bear two lawns every year. We find the young ones born in captivity very do cile and healthy. We have never lost one from sickness. They subsist on less food than any other animal of their size, and will eat almost anything that is edible, such as cotton seed, corn, peas, bran, potatoes, etc. It costs about 1c a day to feed a deer, as they are good rustlers and munch anything in the way of vegetation.
 "The deer is fast disappearing from the woods, and unless they are domes. ticated and bred like other classes of live stock they will disappear. like tho buffalo and the mastodon and the scul- lyoloose."

one of the most famous German
physicians for the treatment OF mental
diseases, Prot. Ludwig, is earnestly ad-
yocating the employment Of women
physicians in lunat1cs asylums. Aftet
years OF investigation he has come to
the conclusion that the insane are pc
culiarly susceptible to woman,s pres
ence and influence, notoniy the women,
but the men as we'll. He says he has
been instrumental in obtaining the ad-
mission of one woman physician to an
asylum for women in south Germany.
and the results are simply phenomenal.
The women are more tractable, and in
the cases where mental disease is the
result of sexual trouble the woman doc
tor works wonders. Ludwig is certain
that in short time no men physicians
will be employed in female lunatic asy-
lums. His opinion is supported large
measure by another eminent authority,
DR.. krapelin.

NOVEL CHINA PIECE.

grocery store a small package of
china cement, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean. This will fasten together the
edges of the broken china until the
plate or other piece looks as good as
now. However, it would not do to
use it as it it had never been broken
for very little use would smash it
altogether, but for ornamental pur-
poses it is all right.
Cut from any old magazine the
prettiest figure you can find. 1t must
be a silhouette figure; that is, full
profile. You will find large variety,
especially in the advertising pages
Paste several Of these figures lightly
all over the bottom Of the plate, or
if the object broken be a pitcher or
cup, all over the outside surface Now
paint over the whole thing, pictures
and all, with your paint, putting on
a good, thick coat.
Before the paint is dry, loosen with
a pin the edges OF the figures you
have pasted on the china. Now strip
them all off, being very careful not to
smudge the edges. OF course, there
win be no paint on the china where it
was covered by the picture. and the
outline of the picture will show in
white again its surrounding back
ground of paint.
The plate, thus prepared, will make
a very dainty and attractive orna-
ment, and you will find it lots Of fun

china.
