Missouri EIGHT Hour Law Invalid.

Higginsville, Mo-, Sept. 21.-Judge
Bradley in the circuit court Thursday
declared that the act of the general
assembly of 1907 fixing eight hours as
the work day for railroad telegraphers
was unconstitutional, on the ground
that it was special or class legislation
in violation of an article of the state
constitution. Judge Bradley's deci-
sion was given in 4 case in which SUI
perintendent Alexander of the Mis-
souri, Pacific railway was alleged to
have compelled an operator to work

New Method of Cutting Steel.

A new method of cutting steel is
said to have been patented by Bel
gian engineer. The process consists
in first heating the metal by means of
an oxyhydrogen fame and then cut
ting it by a small stream of oxygen
gas, which unites with the steel and
forms a fusible oxide, which flows
freely from the cut. 1t is said that
the cut is fully as smooth as that
made by the saw, and is only HOO
inch wide

Origin of Scotland's Motto.

1t was thought by the Danes to be
cowardly to attack an enemy after
nightfall, but on one occasion when
they were waging war in Scotland,
they deviated from their usual rule.
On they crept, noiselessly and unob-
served, in their bare feet, upon the
unsuspecting Scotchman. When near
the camp one of the Danes trod upon
a thistle and in his pain cried out.
This aroused the sleeping Scotchmen,
and they. gave the alarm. The Danes
were defeated with terrible loss of
life, and ever since that time the
thistle has been the insignia of Scot
land, with the motto: Memo me i'm
pune lacessit. mo one provokes me
with impunity."

The extraordinary popularity of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch q matter of great i'm

from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine

makes half the usual quantity of Starch

that unless the house Immediately

The galleries were cleared, the police
and troops took possession of the en-
frances and the house went into secret
session and debated the question. 1t Is
considered almost certain that the pre-

The lower house eventually declared
q recess until 9 this evening, without
taking a vote on the governments de-
