Judge s. D. Weakley or H. c. Sell
heimer, who have been specially re-
tained by the State in the railroad rate
cases, will leave Saturday night for
Washington, to be present Monday,
when the arguments are to be made
before the Supreme Court OF the Uni
ted States, on the application of the
rate-fghting railroads, for writ OF
certiorari
II the certiorari Is granted, the night
Of the railroads on the statutory rates
will be taken before the Supreme Court
from the Court OF Appeals, and the
question of the legality Of the rates
settled finally. II refused, the case
will come back to the supplemental
bills. ana the State viii be forced to
take up the pleadings on them.
II has been stated by the Central
Trust Company. one OF the rate lighting
corporations. that it's case would not be
appealed. but rather that 1t would rest
its hopes on the outcome of the Gem
trail of Georgia appeal. But now comes
the uncertainty on the part OF the
trust company. and 1t seems probable
that II will also add its strength to
that OF the other six already In the
lists.

Fourteenth Century Doeters.

Synge's Social Life in England" quotes a number of fourteenth century hints to success for physicians:
 Suppose you know nothing, say there IS an obstruction of the liver. Perhaps the patient will say, Nay, master, 1t !s my head or legs that trouble me-" Repeat that 1t comes from the liver, and especially use the word "obstruc- tion," for patients do not understand 1t, which is important.
 Never dine with patient who has not paid you. It will be cheaper to get your dinner at an inn, for such feasts are usually deducted from the surgeons fee.
 When you are treating wound or accident, the friends of the patient should be excluded. for they may faint and cause disturbance, but some times a a/higher fee may be got from persons present fainting and breaking their heads against wood and the like than from the principal patient.

 The Sese islanders have attained peculiar notoriety ill Uganda because of q secret society called the Bachichi, which is not burial society, although Its members take a deep and intelli- gent interest in all deaths and burials In their midst. In the more retired vil- lages. although greatly discouraged by the British authorities, it is said to be still the custom for the sorrowing rel atives to bear the body of the deceased wrapped in bark on a rough bier to some forest thicket, desolate ravine or other unfrequented spot, where it is left unburied by the bearers, who nev- CT revisit the place again. The Bachi- chi, who are denizens of neighboring village. and distant relatives of the deceased avoid the necessity of burial or cremation and show their respect for the deceased by simply eating him.

change in the styles of toys.

The amount of actual cash spent for

toys alone. Unnumbered millions will
