CAN'T LIMIT WORKING DAY
Supreme Court Says Man May Labor
More Than 60 Hours Week
if He Chooses.

Washington, April 1S.-A state law
limiting the number of hours in day
and week lnat a laboring man may
work interferes with the free exercise
of the right OF contract between indi-
viduals and therefore is in violation of
the United States constitution. So de-
cided the supreme court Monday when
it held that the New York state law
making ten hours days work and 60
hours q weeks work in bakeries in
that state is unconstitutional. The de-
cision is declared by Justice Harlan to
be one of the most important rendered
by the United States supreme court in
a hundred years. The immediate re-
suit may be strike of $4,000 union
bakers throughout the United States,
If the employers Of New York refuse
the demands for a ten hour day ON
May /. The supreme court was far
from being unanimous in Tie opinion.
Justices Harlan and Holmes both read
dissenting opinions, and Justice White
and Day concurred in Justice Harlan's
view.

WIsPs OF WISDOM.

One does not advance far who treads
many paths.
Some of our greatest joys are recalling
the sorrows we have outlived.
There are only two things the matter
with the world, selfishness and ignor-
ance; and it's question which is the
worst.
The effect of wit is produced by its
bringing one feature of the subject into
prominence. 1t never gives fair, all
around view. That is the province of
wisdom.
The maxims of wisdom are the pieces
of glass in a kaleidoscope; they remain
forever unchanged and in the same case,
but every age shakes them into new
combination of colors.
To say to man when you ask him q
favor: Don't do it If it Inconvenience
you," is mean way of saving yourself
from an obligation and depriving an
other of the merit of comforting one.
Do not trust to your railroads nor
your telegraphs nor your schools as a
test of civilization; the real refinement
of a nation is to be found in the justice
OF its ideas and the courtesy of its man
ners.

Celery bl,ght is always much worse
in hot, rainy weather, and is also

trebtment worth while appears to be
thoroughly to spray the young celery

plants, killing the outside leaves, but
as COO weather comes 90 most celery

disease has been very severe. Keep
your celery we'll hoed and cultivate ell
the time and if troubled too much cut
off and burn the whole affected foliage.
Any means of protecting celery from
