IN HIGHEST COURT.
Question Regarding the Misbrand-
ing of Medicines,

What constitutes the misbranding of
medicines. under the federal pure food
and drug act of 1906. has been brought
to the Supreme Court of the United
States for final determination.
The question arose out of the indict-
ment of Dr.. 0. y. Johnson Of Kansas
City, Mo-, on charge of violating the
law, because the articles manufactured
and shipped by him were alleged to
be ineff1cacious in producing the cures
and remedies indicated by the label.
The District court of the United States
for the western district of Missouri
quashed the indictment. The court took
the position that if Congress had intend

such manufacturers and vendors by their
labels or brandings on bottles and pack

drugs. as TO the mere matter of COM

IRISH TONGUE CRUSHED OUT
Curious Story of How "TaIIy-Stick"
Was Used Decades Ago to Kill
Gaelic Language.

The curious story of how the tally
stick crushed out the remains of the
ancient Irish language among Irish
children some decades ago was told
the other day by T. P. O'Connor. the
Irish political leader.
when the English were determined
to make all Ireland over into sort
of England" said Mr.. O'Connor, they
used some most unusual means.
Among these was the 'tally-stick.' This
was a small stick of wood which each
child was forced to wear on cord
about his neck Every time his par
ents heard him say word of Irish
they we're supposed to cut notch in
the stick, just as the American trap
pers of the old days are said to have
notched the stocks of their guns every
time they killed an Indian. Then
when the child got to school the next
day the master counted the notches.
And for each notch the child was Civ
en- one blow with a switch-one notch.
one blow; two notches, two blows; six
notches, six blows. Thus the Irish
language was beaten out of the
mouths O. the Irish children.
IN school the little ones were
taught to look on themselves not as
Irish children, but as English. They
were not taught any Irish history, and
the fires of patriotism in them were
damped in every way.
'sBut of late years there has come
I'D a great national movement in Ire
land which has restored the ancient
Irish OF Gaelic tongue, and has made
the people proud of their ancient liter
allure. 1t has reawakened the pride of
the Irish nation. A university has
lust been founded in which the Irish
language is now being fought by sir

FISHING TIME IN THE PAslG
Swimming in Myriads Near Surface
They Are Shared and Speared
by Filipinos.

Friday morning Fflipinos sharing
cells and other fish in the Pasig near
the old captain of the port building by
the aid of fish snares caught the
largest eel ever seen on the water
front. 1t was fully ten feet in length.
Both banks of the Pasig and all the
ships and lighters moored in the
stream were thronged with hundreds
of Filipinos with snares and spears
trying to catch the fish that in myri-
ads were swimming near the surface
of the stream.
Natives when asked in regard to
the phenomenon were almost unani-
mously in their statement to the eff
feet that at this time of the year the
bottom of the river gets hot and that
the fish have to leave the depths OF
the stream and flash back and forth
on or near the surface.
Another theory that seemed to have
a great many adherents was to the eff
feet that at this time every year
there was a change in the character
of the water this change acting on
the fish as a stimulant
This theory was advanced by an old
pilot who has witnessed the phenome-
non for many years.-Manila Times.

opportunity of suffraoist.

Baroness Aletta Korff tells in one
of the magazines how the women of
Finland came to vote. The fact is
that women had to show that they
could meet an emergency before the
vote came to them. They have not
had many opportunities to take the
initiative in the worlds history and
they have not always responded when
the opportunity came, but when a
crisis, such as that in 1904, when the
strike and the revolutionary outbreak
in Russia took place at the same time,
occurred, they proved they could
make peace by doing it. Not until
England and the United States find
the women helping them to bear some
great trouble will they give them the
right to vote.

TaIkinq to the Child.

Mrs x talks to little Madge
just as Mr. K talks to their dog,
said a little girl of a neighboring fam
lily. And it was indeed true. Mrs.
X is a very well-meaning woman
and would be greatly surprised if she
should hear the foregoing statement,
She has simply unconsciously acquired
a harsh tone of voice in dealing with
her children. This is altogether un-
necessary and is not, as many moth
ers seem to think, a mark of good dis
cipline. The mother whose manner is
quiet but firm is generally much
more successful disciplinarian than
the harsh-voiced mother who issues
her commands in dictatorial manner.
Kindness never spoils children. 1t is
f1abby indecision, sometimes mistaken
for kindness, which spells them.
