cutions. if any, as may be warranted
by the evidence in hand and forth
coming.

has been under consideration by the
Department. 1t is believed that suf-
ficient evidence has been developed in
the investigations of the Interstate
Commerce Commission and otherwise
to warrant the employment Of counsel
under the provisions of the appropria-
ton act of February %, 1903, author
izing the employment of special coun-
sci and agents in proceedings of this

"An important element in arriving
at this conclusion is the recent decision
Of the Supreme Court in Hale vs..
Kenkel, holding that the Federal Gov
eminent has the right, under legal pro-
ceedings. to examine the books and
records Of corporations engaged in
interstate commerce.

mile or so when they were confronted
by Brown. who jumped out from a
clump of bushes and, leveling rife
at the men, demanded that they throw
up their hands and give up their
money.

At the same time Wickes lashed the
horses into a run. Brown shot just
as the team passed him and hit Rosen-

Unless early and correct treatment is
applied the patient seldom survives
when once the disease is fastened upon
her. We believe Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound is the most eff
cient treatment for chronic kidney
troubles Of women, and is the only med
icine especially prepared for this
purpose.
When q woman is troubled with pain
or weight in loins, baclzache, frequent,
painful or scalding urination, swelling
of limbs or feet, swelling under the
eyes, an uneasy, tired feeling in the
region of the kidneys or notices a
sediment in the urine, she should
lose no time in commencing treatment
with Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, as it may be the means of
saving her life.
For proof, read what Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound did for Mrs.
Sawyer.
g I cannot express the terrible suffering I
had TO endure A arrangement of the female
organs developed nervous prostration and a
serious kidney trouble The doctor attended
me for year. but kept getting worse until

to try Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound as last resort, and am to-day well

Reports from the American tea plan
tation at Pinehurst, South Carolina,
continue to be encouraging, so much SO
that other planters are considering tax
ing up the crop. AS preliminary to
the establishment of the new indus
try, the Government authorities have
completed a soil survey of the rice
soils on Copper River South Carolina,
the proposed location of the tea planta-
ton and find from analysis that they
are well adapted to tea culture, con-
tanning, as they do considerable guam
titles Of organic matter nitrogen phos-
phoric acid and potash. The present
plantation consists of about 100 acres
and while, started under independent
auspices, the work has proved so sue
cessful and promising as an American
crop that the Government has lent as.
sistance in many ways. The posstbilt
ties of the industry are indicated by the
fact, that the annual importations Of
tea are valued at nearly $13,OOO,OOO,
practically all of which comes from
China and Japan.

The next reason why the Swiss fare
well is that their public school sys-
tenn is probably the best in the world,
and with them p~blic school education
is practically compulsory You can
send your child to private school lin
some cantons) il you insist upon so
doing, but the face of the Government
and the force of public opinion are
sternly against the practice. In the
canton of Solothurn private schools are
absolutely forbidden. In other can
tons private school pupil must Sc
cure q formal permit from the local
authorities, and in some cantons he
must pay a charge to the public funds.
The idea is that the public schools
are good enough for all, that rich
and poor are to meet there on even
terms, that the public school is the
nursery of democracy and patriotism;
above all, that democracy is the life
blood and strength and very soil of the
republic, and the republic is Switzer-
land, and without the republic Switz-
erland is nothing. Private schools for
Swiss children are few in number, and
such as exist are under strict super
vision of the State. Education is a
serious matter in Switzerland; there is
no escape from it. A parent must
send his children to school or go him

Paris Feara the Underrronnd.

The Paris underground railway is
beginning to be a cause of alarm. Sub
sidences have taken place, and more
are apprehended. The scene of one
such incident is the Rue de Chabrol,
and now another is reported from the
Boulevard de Charonne. Here a new
ly-erected building Of six stories has
begun to show a decided list, and is
being hurriedly shored up by supports.
From report made by technical OBJ
servers there is some ground for fear
that there has been some defect in
dealing with the subsoil, and that the
constant vibration of trains is finding
out the weak places.
