Fancy Tucked Blouse.

The blouse that is made with a
fancy yoke is the favorite one of the
season and allows so many possiblli-
ties for the exercise of individual
taste that it is especially well liked
by the woman who plans her own
wardrobe. This one is made with
a prettily shaped yoke which allows
exceptionally successful use of me-
dallions and insertion, while 1t also
can be made from any all-oyer ma
terial or can be embroidered or treat

gest itself to the individual. In this

Decorative Hatpins.

Huge hatpins are still in vogue,
and there are some new ones Of
pearl, which are stuck through the
hair at the side. just above the ear,
and this gives the effect of rather
barbarous adornment. Some of these
large pins are very handsome, for
they are made of cut jade. ivory or
finest Jet.

buttons For Iackets.

The backs OF the jackets are not
made plain; buttons of the same color
as the jacket, not as the facings, seem
to part the basques at the sides and
at the back, indicating that these are
separated, and might perhaps be but
toned up. Some jackets, braided all
over, are worn with finely-pleated
skirts In light yelling and untrimmed.

The Canadian farmers are appaT-
emily going through the experience
of this country in the days when the
"college-bred" farmer was scorned and
ridiculed by the man who works in the
fields. The Toronto Globe contains
a dispatch from Guelph, Ontario, tell
ing of the experience of a young eX-
pert from the Canadian department
of agriculture who vas lecturing on
Alfalfa" before a meeting of farmers.
A weather-beaten listener to the ad-
dress wanted information. The dis
patch reads:
Young man, did you ever pillow a six
acre field?" The man on the platform
hesitated. The other continued, Did
you ever pitch hay or load manure, or
run a binder, or milk COWS twice a day,
seven days a week? The vOlley stag
gered the younger man, He murmured
tina he did drive a manure spreader just
the other day VI at Ottawa, and had

at one time or another. The old man,
whose questions had been earnestly put,

ton for anything the speaker might say
since he was not a practicing farmer.
In this country practically all of the
former prejudice against the ''theo-
retical" farmers has disappeared. By
experience the farmers have learned
that man may know all about soil, the
termination Of seed, the adaptibility
of certain lands for special crops and
a great deal Of very valuable informa-
ton of that kind without having eve
been yanked through a stumpy field
by a team Of obstinate mules. Prac-
teal farmers are needing the advice
and instruction of young men sent out
from the college laboratories, and the
result is a constant and persistent i'm
provement in agricultural conditions.

RATES AND "BnRoRs OF LAW"
Important Ruling Of the Circuit Court
Of Appeals.
Chicago "Record-Herald.

Chicago ReCord-Herald.
1t takes years and dozens of suits to cs-
tahlish the meaning Of any important
statute. The new railroad law is young,
and the courts have but taksn w the
task Of interpreting it.
The decision Of the circuit court at ST.
Paul I'm what may be called the Stockyard
cases in one respect is very far reaching
The court sets aside an order of the com
mission that was based on an error Of
law" The error consisted in judging Of
the rCasonablcness OF a charge in conncc-
ton with other charges and rates. The
commission thought it had the authority
under the law to reduce the terminal
charge OF 81 a rar for transporting cattle
to the Union ~stockyards to 81 d car be-.
cause the total of the rates and charga IS in
the case of any shipment was too high.
The court says that N any complaint to the
commission the question Of the business
and reasonahlencss Of each segregated rate
must be determined by itself"
The court adds:
1t is not Indispensable in The correction by
the federal court OF an error Of law into
which the commission has fallen whereby
a specific rate is made unreasonably low
that the aggrieved party should prove chat
the effect Of this unreasonable low rate
WY make its entire business improbable.
1t is enough that the reduced rate is unjust
and unreasonable.
If, then, the segregated terminal charge
Of the Union S~tockyard's company was not
unreasonable for the service rendered, the
fact that other rates are unreasonable
and make the total excessive. could not be
taken into consideration by the commission.
Let that part of the total which is deemeI
unreasonable be singled out for attack.
and the commission will have the power
to order a proper reduction.
Whether the rate law, as 1t now stands,
requires the segregation Of rates and
charges, is clearly a question of construc-
ton. The language of the act cannot be
said to be absolutely plain on the point,
and If the commission fell into an error
of law with reference to it. lay readers
of the act will scarcely wonder at the cir
cumstance. or course, the supreme court
alone can fully determine whether the law
imposes the duty of segregation rates and
judging each charge in the light of its
own origin and relation to the service
given for it.

on Jonah. For a great many centuries
Jonah and the whale have furnished
