The United States Circuit Court Of
the Southern District of New York, IN
Thomson v Union Castle Mail S. G.
Co., 149 Federal Reporter, 933, takes
the position that the Sherman Anti
Trust Law does not apply to combina-
lions by shipowners navigating between
ports Of the United States and those Of
foreign countries, and does not prevent
the giving of rebates by such shipown-
ers.
In Mccullough V. McGrady, 102 New
York Supplement, 633, decided by the
New York Supreme Court, the majority
| Of the court held that a claim for wine,
food, cigars, liquors, ETC., used in the
celebration Of wake was a proper
charge against decedent's estate. The
majority depended on the case Of Nc
Cue V. Garvey, II Hun, 562, in which It
was considered the rule had been rec
ognized, but the dissenting opinion In
sisted that the cited case was not in
point, and repudiated the claim as lie
gal.

Richards V. Heger, 80 Southwestern Re

officer to levy on money in. the hands
or about the person of a debtor APP
proving the doctrine of Green V. Pal
mer, ID Cal. Al, rs Am. Dec. 492, that
money In the hands of debtor may be
levied on, the court says that the seiz-

provoke a breach Of the peace, but to
seize his property found in his posses

No feature of modern China is more
remarkable than the growth of the

Importance has its newspaper, there

Quoted and publishing Reuter- tele-

mails has not kept pace with the in

slaughterers and packers IS dependent
upon finding foreign markets for the

The Trusty Railroad Man.

In the early stages of Journey
which z. w. Howe, the editor of the
Atchison Globe, has recorded In his
recent book, DAILY Notes Of a Trip
Around the World" a railroad man
came into the car In which he was
travelling and took his railroad tickets
and Pullman tickets. Mr.. Howe says
he would have given the man his mon
ey and his watch had he asked for
them, for he has learned to trust rail-
road men. Then Mr.. Howe tells how
this came about. The foreign railroad
men taught him to trust his brethren
everywhere.
A good many years ago, Mr.. Howe
continues, l bought long tourist tick
ct from Paris to London, by way of
Switzerland, the Rhine, the battlefield
of Waterloo, and so forth. When l
first started ON the long tour, with its
many changes, I would collect my bag
gage, and attempt to get of every time
the train stopped, but q railroad man
would shove me back.
When 1 finally arrived at 3 junction
point. a railroad man would appear at
the car door and pull me out. When
my train departed, the same man would
shove me into the proper car and
close the door. couldn't speak word
of his language, and he couldn't speak
a word of mine, but he took the best
possible care of me.
All this impressed me so much that
| turned myself over to the railroad
men unreservedly, and enjoyed my trip
without the slightest care.
At one place no train was waiting
when the railroad man pulled me out
of the coach, and 1 judged that the
train on which l should resume my
journey was not due for some time.
therefore concluded to go uptown and
look round, knowing that the railroad
man would look after me.
The town was Lausanne, and after
| had looked about for an hour or two
a married man generally has to get up
began pushing me toward the station.
1t seemed that he had considerable
trouble in finding me, for he was in a
hurry, and pushed me along rapidly.
Arriving at the station, he showed me
into the proper coach, handed in my
baggage, and closed the door.
/ visited a great many points of in
terest, necessitating a very circuitous
tour. but / never missed a connection
the railroad men took care of me and
they found me very willing and appre-
ciative.
The tour included a trip over the
Alps by stage and when the tourists
arrived at the place where they were
to change stages, they dashed up to the
stage station and secured all the seats.
But | knew the railroad men would
look after me. since l had a ticket, so
/ was very deliberate and waited.
When it was time to start over the
Alps. and ii was found that | had no
seat. the agent ordered out a carriage,
and l rode in it all day long, while the
piggish passengers-th passengers who
did not trust the railroad men-were
crowded into the stages, inside and
outside.

THE BEST EXERCISE.
Beauty and Health Seekers Should
Practice Cooking.

Practice Cooking.
at is d pity that the average Amer
lean woman should look upon cooking
as mere drudgery," says Prof. Harvey
w. Wiley, chemist-in-chief of the De
partment Of Agriculture. "Such an at
titude IS wholly wrong, for cooking is
a true art-as much so, indeed, as
painting, music or poetry, and far more
important to the welfare Of mankind.
incidentally, cooking Is admirable
for the development Of the body. 1t
affords physical exercise of the most
beneficial kind, bringing into play near
" all the muscles. To knead bread is
a most vigorous and wholesome exer-

mis-; and the beating of eggs, the stir
ring of materials for cake and the mix
ing OF puddings-not to mention the
rolling of pie crust-are as healthful
as rowing OF golf.

We Use Millions of Cigar Boxes.


There are something like 100000
cigar boxes used In the United States
annually, and about nine-tenths Of
that number are made in New York,
where the trade rivals the clothing In
dustry In point of capital invested and
the number of people employed. The
material out Of which the best boxes
are made comes principally from Cuba
and is known as Spanish cedar. The
latter wood retains the flavor of a good
cigar, owing, 1t Is claimed, to the fact
that 1t Is grown in the same localities
as the best Havana tobacco.

block. The latter is operated by the
thumb, the blade being pushed across
