CURIOUS MANX LAWS.

Food and Drink Alone Are Taxed and
Debtors Arc Imprisoned.
In some respects the Isle of Man is
the British empire. All the revenue is
raised by taxes on food and drink.
There are no death duties, no proper
ty tax, no land tax. The working
classes are unprotected as well as over
taxed. No factory laws exist, and no
attempt has ever been made to limit
the hours of shop assistants, although
shopkeepers. Then, although usury is
forbidden by law, Imprisonment for
debt is still legal and is commonly re-
sorted to.
Yet Manx laws, although backward
in some respects, are in other ways
well advanced. Every woman, widow
or spinster, in the Isle of Man. be she
owner, occupier or lodger, enjoys the
parliamentary franchise. Every wild
ow enjoys half her husbands person
al estate and has a life interest in his
real estate, and she cannot be deprived
Of this by will.
The sale of cigarettes and intoxi-
Giants to children was forbidden in
Man for years before such a prohi-
bition was enforced in England. Eng
lishmen have legislated mildly against
money lenders. The highest interest
that can be charged in the island is 6
per cent, and that has been the law
for over 200 years.-Chicago News.

MORE TIME GIVEN
IN RAIL WAY CASE
Motion to Modify u. P.-S
P. Merger Mandate Grant
ed by Supreme Court.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-The SUI
preme court today granted the mo-
ton to modify the mandate in the
Union Pacific-Southern Pacific merger
case extending the time until July 1,
the limit to which the government az
reed.
The first plans of dissolution sub
mitted by the Union Pacific officials
to the supreme court were sumn1arily
rejected. In its decision OF January
5, 1913, the supreme court made clear
its original decision of December 2,
1912 in which the merger of the Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific was or
dered dissolved.
The original plan, as submitted by
the Union Pacific company, was mere
ly the simple process of selling the
Southern Pacific stock in its possess
ion to the Union Pacific stockholders.
The supreme court held that this did
not satisfy the judgment of the court
or accomplish it's aim. This position
was generally regarded as a great ad-
vance from that which the court as
sumed in the dissolution of the Stan
dard Oil company and the Tobacco
Trust. In both these cases, the stock
OF the component companies was en-
tirely taken up by the stockholders
within the confines of the dissolved
corporation.
In rendering it's decision of Jan
uary 5, the court did not formally
alter it's mandate in the Tobacco and
Oil cases. 1t simply repeated that
each case must stand on it's own mer-
! it's and the court had no other object
but the breaking up of offensive mo-
nopoly and restoring something like
the competition that existed before
the combination was effected.
In the Standard Oil merger it was
argued the offense lay in the combina-
ton of eighteen companies. There
fore the redistribution of the stock, to
those who held stock in the original
companies, ended the illegal merger.
In the Union Pacific case, however,
the court held that the distribution OF
or sale of the Southern Pacific stock to
the Union Pacific stockholders would
not effect any disjointer of interests
| ana Lnat the Union racine might Stlil
continue to dominate the Southern Pa
cific as before.
| The Union Pacific company alleged
that it's stock was distributed between
| 22,150 stockholders, but this failed to
convince the court that it would be
impossible for the control of the
46 per cent of the Southern Pacific
stock, now owned by the Union Pa
cific, to fall again into the hands OF
limited group of Union Pacific stock
holders.
Realizing that further effort to con
vince the court of the feasibility OF
this dissolution plan would be futile
the Union Pacific company again
summoned their lawyers and advisers
and began at once to formulate a new
plan of dissolution to meet the ap
prevail of the supreme court and al
the same time create as little havoc
as possible in the stock prices of the
Hartman roads.

LUXURIOUS KITCHENS.
They Used Silver Lined Saueepans In
the Old Days In Rome.

While the housewife today prides
herself, and with reason, on the equip
ment and conveniences of her estab-
lishment, she need not think that cen
turtles ago other women in other lands
were not equally we'll provided. In
deed. the kitchens of Roman women
were much more luxuriously fitted out
than are most kitchens of today.
Now, in the days when the Roman
empire was at its height if you went
into the culinary department of an ele-
CANT establishment you would find
saucepans lined with silver and pals
of various description richly inlaid
with arabesques in silver and shovels
that were handsomely and intricately
carved. Egg frames, too, that would
cook twenty eggs at once and pastry
molds shaped like shells and an in
finite assortment of gridirons, frying
pans. cheese graters and tart dishes.
The toilet tables Of the Roman wo-
men were well supplied In the same
lavish fashion. Ivory combs, perfumes.
cosmetics, hairpins, even an elaborate
hair net of gold. have been recently
unearthed. Safety pins, too, which
have for a long time been considered
a strictly modern invention, could be
found on their tables. But they had
no brushes nor any glass mirror, the
kind they used being Of silver or other
white metals--Chicago Tribune.

SAVE LARGE AMOUNT

Believing that large sum could be

affiliated with the order. delegates to
the annual state convention of the
Knights of st, John, which was held
in this city yesterday, went on record
as in favor Of placing these organiza-

At the national convention, held last
year in Toronto, this matter was taken
up, but was lost by one vote There
are now thirty-seven widows and or
phans' insurance organizations In the
United States that are affiliated with
the Knights of st. John, and it is es-
timated that at least one-half million
dollars is paid out each year in sal
aries. In tn event that the organiza-
tions were combined, 1t is argued,
100000 could be saved annually in
salaries. Many state conventions of
the order have discussed this matter,
and it is likely that it will be preached
again at the next national convention
In 1914.
To Create Interest.
The convention also discussed the
matter of creating more interest in
the organization. One method decided
upon was to avoid placing individuals

Indiana Again 10 Display Products
OF Her Apple Orchards to the World

Indiana is again to display the pro-
ducts of her apple orchards to the
world. The Apple Show commission
announces that the third Indiana APP

shows were a marked success and

to start growth is covered with bloom.
Satisfactory weather conditions at
this most critical of crop formation
will give all portions of the state an
equal chance to produce fruit which
can compete favorably for the excel
lent premiums that are to be offered
at the 1913 Apple Show. Nature has

thinned and attended so that only per

vest. Nature makes no effort to pro-
duce perfect specimens. Her ultimate
aim is that of seed production. Guam
tity, not quality is her watch word.
Man, for his fancy markets, requires
quality and after that quantity. Many
possesors of apple trees in Indiana
will make an effort to be an exhibitor

ut isn't always the commercial or
chardist who grows the fancy speci-

millions of dollars Write to the Sec

II have thought of similarities between
Albania and Scotland. There are parts
Of the country reminiscent OF the high

is characteristic of both peoples. The
alertness Of the highlander to resent

The blood feud Is the best known of

fraternities as well in which blood

lished is so sacred that the children of

A HOBO, answered MIS-. harvey,
sis any person, man, woman, girl or
boy, who is out of work, out of
money, and nearly out of hope. A
hobo GIRLS any girl jobless, homeless,
moneyless, hopeless. Just as man
hobo wanders around hunting for
work, so does the girl hobo.
There is only this difference, the
man hobo can count ties along the,
railroad, ride in freight cars, and get
to the place where work is. The out
of-work girl cannot do that.
But one fate is hers-death, death
by starvation or suicide.
mo! | forgot! There's another
and worse fate for the poor, down.
and-out girl hobo-that is sin, shame
and then a more awful death.
There's always that monster Of
vice waiting for the out-of-work girl
waiting until she gets down to her
last penny and her hunger cries the
loudest for food.
There are flop houses for men
hoboes; soup kitchens and coffee
lines But no girl out of work has
anything to fall back on-except her
own SELF"
you don't look like the accepted
idea of hobo, anyway" said 1.
Your clothes are not ragged and you
don't seem to have any tomato cans
hanging about you"
NO. Mrs. Harvey answered. But
I've been out of work and out of
money and have gone into cities
penniless and walked miles in search
of work-just like men hoboes."
Right here Mrs. Harvey's eyes mar
rowed and she asked abruptly: What
would you do if you were in a strange
town and you did not have a job?'
I stammered a minute while
thought, and answered l probably
would apply at some newspaper Of
fee.
