The Value of a Shower.

Many boys are in the habit, no
doubt, Of sprinkling the grass in their
yards with either the hose or sprin-
king pot in summer, and it is likely
that they have noticed that one good
shower of rain does the grass more
good and makes it look fresher and
brighter than a dozen sprinklings do.
The editor wonders if they could tell
why this is so. The reason Is that as
rain falls from q great height through
the air it brings with it a good deal of
carbonic acid, Of nitrogenous particles
and of other things that are nutritious
to grass and plants, all Of which it
washes out Of the atmosphere as it
falls. The shower gives the grass food
and health and strength as well as a
wetting.-Chicago News.

and will give them Is days to renlv
the usual period allowed for answeri,o y,
a complaint being 20 days. The COM
mission will expedite this case az
much as possible on account of ;+s

The complaint undertakes n oor,
pare the alleged cost of maintenance
and operation of the railroads with the
actual cost, and the claimed debt which
is supposed to justify the increase
with the actual debt. The railroad
commission Of Texas, it appears has
appraised the cost Of construction and
operation of the roads as well as the
actual debt upon which the rates NAV
be fairly based.
Eight freight schedules, which have
recently been filed with the commits
sion, are made the basis of the CON-
plant and all are alleged to have been
brought about by an unlawful agree
ment between the defendant carriers
and the Southwestern Traffic associa-
tion, of which they are members OF
whose members represent, through
power of attorney, those who are not.

will fall primarily upon the commod

seriously disturb trade relations, caus

public, and that the increased tax, 81

amount to 81, 653, 900.
