TALK of our 600, odd new laws Yet
just see what Texas accomplished at the
last session of it's Legislature. 1t passed
a law making it an offense for any man
in public office to employ under him any
relative, unless the relationship is more
distant than second cousin. 1t forbade
the drinking OF any kind of liquor on
trains under any circumstances. 1t
passed law compelling any theatrical
manager to book any attraction apply
ing for an open date if the character of
the probation is suitable for first class
play house. It required all railroads to
use electric headlights. II passed more
rigorous Sunday closing law for saloons,
and another law forbidding saloons hav-
ing in connection with their bars any
device calculated to draw patronage,
such as billiard or pool tables. 1t closed
not only all bucket shops in the state
but also all stock brokers' offices. Half
fare rates have been prohibited as we'll
as passes, not only for railroads but also
for street cars and telegraph and tele-
phone companies. The mere possession
of articles commonly used in games of
chance has been made a criminal Of
Tense, and betting on base ball games is
likewise made punishable by law. There
were numerous stringent laws against
corporations enacted, one of which has
already caused twenty-one of the lead
ing life insurance companies to with
draw from the state.

AFTER long deliberation the jury in
the trial of William D. Haywood, sec
retary Of the Western Federation of
Miners, for completely in the murder OF
Gov. Steunenberg of Idaho, returned a
verdict OF acquittal This result is no
surprise to those who intelligently fol-
lowed the course of the trial for eleven
weeks, and which forms, as whole, one
of the remarkable cases in an alleged
conspiracy of assassination. In view of
the characteristics of the chief witness,
Orchard, the verdict will be generally
approved. Orchard made himself out to
be such monster, and poured out such
a mass Of revolving statements about his
own crimes, that he was discredlted un-
less distinctly corroborated, and in this
respect the prosecution failed to furnish
decisive evidence. Orchard made oath
that he had committed twenty one muir
ders, had guilty knowledge of thirty
two, and that the assassinations he had
plotted or knew about exceeded one
hundred. The jury could not determine
the case on such testimony, and the pub
lie is of the same mind.

AMONG the many new laws recently
adopted by the legislature is one which
allows trade school in connection with
our public school system. The law pro-
vides that any school board in n city
may inaugurate such school, giving
due notice by publication, and il no de-
mand is made for referendum to the
the people, then the board can proceed
to start the school and make special
assessment of not over half a mill. LII an
option is properly signed asking for
vote on the question, then the school
will depend on the vote so taken, spec
ial to regular election.

What HUNGARIAN PARTRIDGE Is.

A writer in Die Woche warns tO;lr-
lists against the temptations Of the ILL
| of fare and commends the old Germ n
adage, What the peasant knows It
| he will not eat" Special or natiOl al
Dishes" he says, should be avoiC ed
because in order to appreciate them
one must be accustomed to them. We
always form an idea as to what these
dishes should taste like, and our first
experience with them is always dis
appointing. If you must eat these ma
tional products of the kitchen, order
them in the best hotels or at the first
class restaurants, for there they are
idealized by careful preparation and
| superior ingredients" The writer gives
special warning against the dishes with
queer names which are served in Aus
tria and advises tourists to ask VIVA:
these preparations are before ordering"
and eating them. AS an example he
quotes Hungarian partridge" which
may be found on nearly all bills Of

the Shortest Day In the Year Is

How long, after all, is day? The
Biographies say that it is the time re-
quired for the earth to turn once on
its axis, that it measures twenty-four
hours by the clock and that fraction
more than 800 of them are to be found
in n year.
1t is a good plan when one reads

how long it takes the earth to turn

say, Il particular tree, branch or stee-
pie on the horizon line. If on the next
evening we stand ut precisely the same
spot and sight the same star again in

line the banks of the Blue Nile along

is met with along that river and also
near the Sobat. Along the White Nile
the india rubber creeper, a valuable
source Of rubber, abounds. There are
large forests in the Bahr-ei-GhaZal
province and gold has been mined in
some of the mountains. Search viii
