long enough to answer all purposes.
The weak point Of these construc

this a box has been designed which is

Liquor Can Be Shipped.

The supreme court of the United
States, in a case arising from New
Albany, Ind, decided tha- state n
not regulate the shipment OF intoxi-
eating liquor into its borders, as that
is entirely a function for the govern
mert to exercise under the interstate
commerce clause of the constitution.
A licensed liquor dealer alt New Al,
bany shipped liquor into Hart county,
KY. which is dry territory, and pre-
paid the express charges. The con-
signee was w. c. Thanp resident
OF Hart county. Thanp was in the
habit OF becoming intoxicated and
the defendants agent in Hart count :
knew this when he delivered the IL
quor.
The commonwealth of Kentucky
brought suit against THE com pany to
recover a statutory penalty of $50
and the supreme court holds against
the commonwealth
Justice Brewer, in delivering the
opinion OF the court, said:
Liquor, however, obnoxious and
hurtful it ma be in the Judgment
OF many, is a recognized article of
commerce
The court lays down the following
as the law on the subject:
The proposition is well establish
ed that the right to send liquors from
one state to another and the act of
sending the same is interstate com
merce, the regulation whereof has
been committed by the constitution
to congress, and hence that a state
law winch denies such right or sub
stanfiably interferes with or hampers
the same. Us in conflict with the con-
stitution"

Barnhart. Proposes New Plan.

Representative Barnhart will in
troduce a bill providing for a new
plan OF making federal appropria
tlons If he finds upon full inwestiga-
ton that his plan will stand the test
OF constitutionality. He proposes to
make it unlawful for congress TO pass
any appropriation without yea and
nay vote in each branch.
If members OF the House and Sen
ate had to go on record on every ap-
preparation, large nd small, there
would be big saving to the govern
ment," said Mr. Barnhart There is
law Of this kind in force in Ohio.
In that state the legislature cannot
appropriate so cents without putting
its members on record, and il fed
eral law of the same character is con-
stitutional the reform should be ex-
tended to apply to all national appro-
priations."

The Status of Smallpox.

With almost 10000 cases of small
pox reported i'm the United States in
the first four months of the year by
the federal marine hospital service,
it certainly can not be said that
smallpox as an epidemic disease has
been overcome. The great change is
that the disease is no longer anything
like what it once was IN violence.
Most of the cases are mild, and some
are so slight that the diagnosis is
difficult. The exceptional cases of
victims who have been vaccinated
and who get the disease in its worst
form do not serve to alarm a COM
mrnity. And even fifty or hundr ed
cases Of the mild form in one of the
smaller cites, no uncommon thing
today, do not produce the panic that
would certainly result if the cases
were so severe as formerly.

Beetle Destroying Trees.

fact by State Geologist w. S. Blatch-

the elm leaf beetle, and, as the name
indicates, it specializes on the elm
tree. 1t is a destroyer of foliage,
without which the tree becomes
weakened. Spraying three times
year is the only known remedy.
