k One of the most valuable relics of Nelson in existence is small golden cenotaph constructed to the order of Alexander Davison, the army contract or, who made Nelson's acquaintance at Quebec in 17S2 and thenceforward un- til his death remained on the closest terms of intimacy with him. This cenotaph was cast in the form of a pyramid out of the eighty-four guineas found after Nelson's death in his escri- toire on board the Victory. When Davison came to grief it was sold by auction, together with some other Nell son relics, of which the most interest ing was a miniature of Lady Hamilton,
 with a lock of her hair at the back, taken from his neck after he received his death wound. In April, 1875, the cenotaph was announced for sale by a Pail Mall dealer. but where it is now appears difficult to discover.-London Graphic

Conflict of the Stars,

Every young star, such as our sun, attracts and gathers to itself quantities of impalpabIe cosmic dust which it en- counters on its journey through space. Therefore every youthful heavenly body is increasing in size But on the other-hand every old and wornout star reverses the process and instead of gathering in new supplies discharges its accumulations- In the end the old star is utterly disintegrated and dis solved back into primeva1 dust which reassembIes somewhere on the out skirts of space where a new star is or ganized- This process of tearing down old worlds and rebuilding new ones goes on perpetually. Some of the forces which nature employs for this work are light, electric currents and gravita. tion.-Kansas City Star.

tures It should be of a moderate redness, and we'll formed, with the upper lip generally slightly fuller than the lower.
 There are different degrees of red ness, and the girl whose lips are ha- bitually pink should never paint them a, vivid red. If Nature made them pink, the chances are that Nature knew what she was doing, and that pink blends best with their general coloring. If you have naturally very pink cheeks, the chances are that your lips will not be very red. This is as it should be, for often carmined cheeks and lips give a fast appearance that every woman wants to avoid.
 In winter or dry weather, use cam phor ice copiousIy. Never bite or suck in your lips. They are rather fra gile members.

the interstate commerce commits
lion, q few days ago, announced the
decision with reference to western
classification No. 81 which has been
nrder suspension since Feb. is, 1912.
Many important changes are involved.
The carriers being allowed to publish
some Of the proposed changes in 9th
srs, In all there were over 1000
Items involved and 1t has involved
vast amount Of work to give proper
consideration to all OF the Items.
Hearings haze been held In Chicago.

points to allow shippers to present
their arguments against and for the
changes. Over 1000 pages OF testi-
nony were taken and great volume OF
exhibits we're filed by shippers. The
carriers also filed large number Of
briefs in support of the changes.
The shipping public has for years
desired uniform classification and
about two years ago, a uniform CLASH
fcation committee was appointed to
work with view to occurring Uniform
ity. In order to secure entire uni
formity there must Of necessity be adj
vances and reductions, but uniform.

tate many changes In rates. The car
riers in publishing western classifca-
ton No. 81 proposed many advances
In classification, which OF course
would result In increased rates. It
was the protest against these adj
vances in rates which resulted in the
suspension Of the classification.
The commissions decision covers
167 pages and indicates that they
have gone into the matter very thor
oughly. Many suggestions have been
made to the carriers as, to the future
method to be employed in fixing
classification OF articles. The com.
mission states that the classification
is public function, public business
can be conducted in private way
and it was suggested that future hear
ings of classification committees
should be made public.
A few of the important suggestions
made by the commission are as fol
lows:
A compilation OF classification units
expressing the relation of one another
Of weight, space and value should bt
made.
classification and rates and reye
nues should be treated separately.
Each carrier can readjust its ratei
OH basis of a new classification t,
preserve existing revenue.
The commission emphasized the ne
cessity of greater uniformity in classi
ficatioa.
Carload ratings should be establish
Cd Whenever carload quantities ar
offered for shipment and the publ
interest demands IT.
Liberal provisions should be mad
for carload mixtures.
There should not be an excessiv
difference between carload and les
than carload rates on the same con
modify.
Freight cars should be made to q
