Little Bermuda Farms.

Country Life in America: Farms in
the Bermudas are only tiny detached
fields in the pleasant hollows where the
accumulation Of vegetable matter and
of ~washings has made a shallow soil.
In these little islands one sees fields
from the size of a parlor floor to that
of two acres-the latter size being I'M
common. 1t is strange enough to the
visitor from more ambitious lands to
see a patch of onions or lilies or pota-
toes only a few feet square braVely as
serting its Importance in some front
yard or by the highway. But although
these fields are d~iminutive. they are
numerous, and the combined output
makes up a large trade in Bermudan
products In the New York markets. for
probably nine-tenths of the produce,
except bananas, finds a market there IN
spite Of the duties. The lands vary
wonderfully In price-from very little
for the exposed elevations to $500 per
acre for good pieces In the little wales.
The high price Of these pieces and linn
tied amount of land IN the islands
there are less than 1000 acres all told
has enforced a very high state of Gull
tivation of the ands. The Islands
comprise a series of smart garden-hol-
lows, and the hard-metaled. white
walled roads, white SNUG houses ana
profusion Of compact garden growth
all mite to make the place a dimln-
utive pictureland.

LEGAL Formality,

Golfers Weekly: John G.. Car
Isle tells of a case that many years
lgo he was called upon to try before
, justice OF the peace in the noun
aims Of Kentucky. This justice of the
peace was also a blacksmith. He came
nto court from his smithy, and. retain
ng his leather apron. mounted the
bench WITH all possible solemnity of
manner. The worthy man was very
officious in his manner trying hard to
initiate the legal d%ignitaries he had
seen In the surrounding districts. 1t
vas plainly to be seen. says Mr.. Car
isle, that the good man had deter
mined that in the presence of a city"
lwyer from Louisville 1t behooved
i'm, the justice, to assume a judicial
tir that would be doubly impressive.
The case under trial was that In which
,uit was brought for the payment Of
iced furnished certain horses. Mr..
Carlisle represented the defendant, and
he defense made was that the bill
rad been paid. When argument had
oeen had, the justice delivered himself
If the following: The court has lisa
ened to what the witnesses have got
O say and the talk of the lawyers.
rhe court will not decide this case
iust now. 1t reserves it's opinion. The
,ase goes under Amusement for three
lays. and the court will hen decide
he case in favor Of the plaintiff"

Concerning the Saints.

Margaret Deland In Harper's Week..
w: So we come back again to
that dear, and good. and gentle
woman, ripe in a hundred ways for
heaven, who makes 1t so easy for the
rest of US to be bad; who encourages
s%elfshness in those she loves; who.
giving up ease herself. makes US the
slaves Of ease. See how she confesses
herself, in her shocked n protesting
denial Of this charge of sanity self
sacrifice:
But it isn't self-sacrifce! It's just
pleasure. l owe to give up things for
William and the children. 1t is my
greatest Joy. 1t is never a hardship;
1t is happiness"
Oh, saint, don't you see? you are
selfish in your un~sel1shness! You
seek, not our good. but your W pleas
ure. You have just said so: 1T is
my greatest Joy to give things up
So. you seize your Joy, and leave moth
ing for US.
Saint, saint! do you repent? will
YOU try not to be so good? VIII! you
| try not to be SO grasping? Will you
believe that character in those o love
lis better than comforts? That spiritu-
/ ,ality is nobler thai happiness? VIII
you let us poor sinners have just a
! little chance to be good?

PASSING of the Fire Engine.

Harper's Weekly: The recent COM
pletion of a powerful pumping plant
and a system of independent high
pressure fire mains In the city of Phil
adelphia to talk the place of horse or
motor driven steam fire engines Is
noteworthy as indicating the tendency
toward Capitalization In modern me-
chanical engineering practice. While
1t may be too much to say that 1t
marks the beginning of the disappear
ance of the fire engine In large cities.
nevertheless, 1t seems quite clear that
such a plant can furnish more effective
protection to q given area. and that,
aside from its initial cost, it Is less
expensive to maintain. The advantage
to the citizens Is shown by the fact
that for the district in Philadelphia
protected by the new plant insurance
rates have been decreased is cents
per 500, and with the increased eflcl-
ency of the system a further decrease
of 10 cents Is promised.
In outline the new pumping system
may be described briefly as follows:
1t consists OF q number Of powerful
pumps driven by gas engines and To-
Gated In a single building u to lac
feet, and using an independent and
never failing supply of water derived
from the Delaware river. This Is dis
tributed under high pressure through
mains. a%ggregating some nine miles II
length, over the selected territory
which includes about 425 acres. Thu
hose Is attached directly to hydrant.
iof a special pattern. n 1t is possible
to send four streams to the top of tn,
highest skyscraper In Philadelphia
THE plant Is said to take the place 0
more than forty-ive engines. and thu
pressure furnished and consequent eff
,iciency Is far beyond that of ordlnar.

Railroad Rate Legislation.

Tesufying before the Senate COM
nittee at Washington, Interstate Com
MERGE Commissioner Prouty said in
discussing the proposition to give to
that commission the power to regulate
railway rates:
II think the railways should make
their own rates. l think they should
be allowed to develop their own b'ls-
ness. l ha We never advocated any law.
and l am not now in favor Of any law,
which would put the rate making pow
er into the hands Of any commission or
any court. While 1t 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
tries, I am opposed to it. " The
railway rate Is property. 1t is all the
property that the railway has got. The
rest Of its property is not good for any
thing unless it can charge a rate. Now
it has always seemed to me that When
a rate was fixed, If that rate was an
unreasonable rate. it deprives the rail
road company Of It's property pro
tanto. 1t Is not necessary that you
should confiscate 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 a rate that is inherently unrea-
sonable, you have deprived that COM
pany Of its rights, Of its property, and
the Circuit Court Of the United States
has Jurisdiction under the fourteenth
amendment to restrain that. " "
l have looked at these cases a great
many times, n l car only come to
the conclusion that a railroad company
is entitled to charge a fair and reason
able rate, and If any order Of a COM
mission, If any statute of a State Legis-
lature takes away that rate, the four.
tenth amendment protects the railway
company" Adv.
