The Supreme Court.

For the supreme court of the United States there Is no exact precedent ei- ther in the ancient or the modern times. In making the great constitution the fathers" availed themselves of all past knowledge and experience. but ii was probably from the French publi- cist Montesquieu that they got their idea of the supreme court. In this book. ''The Spirit of the Laws" MOn- tesquieu. after making masterly anal ysis of all forms of government. uses these words: "There is no liberty if the judicial power be not separated from the legislative and the executive" The framers of the constitution knew MOn- tesquieu's book we'll and there is not any room for doubt about their getting the idea of the supreme court from that source.-New York American.

 Swindling promoters are shrewd. Whenever they iinl any line of indus try phenomenally successful they im- mediately organize fake companies and print lurid literature telling of the won derful prospects in this line, of fortunes that have been made sn 1t and of the opportunity they are giving to small in- vestors to secure . generous income. So we have had automobile, oil, min ing. real estate, hotel. plantation. and now there are several newer schemes, in which the credulous public is invited to put all its loose change.
 Why doesn't the public realize that in all these lines of business the old, well established and dividend paying concerns offer the best opportunities for investment? They never print lurid literature, guaranteeing fortunes and promising extravagant dividends. They are managed by men whose characters put them above this. yet the public will only bite on . bait that is made ex. traOrdinarily attractive by promises impossible of performance.
 !. Hence the vogue of companies tha, sell their shares as low as cent each. The man with $1O who can buy . cer- tificate for 1000 shares jumps at the promise held out to him that some day his $1O may grow into sIO.UOO. To him 1t is a lottery, nothing else. And when he loses, as he always does, he goes out on the street corner and denOunces ti,e "sha rks of Wall stret."-Jasl,er in Les lies Weekly.

UNGATHEREO HONEY.
Billions of DoIIars' wTth 10 Lost by
 Waste Every Year.

"aotV sVe'y sVaT.
 An editorial in the Farm and Fire. side says:
 The present centering of attention by economists on food waste Is showing that one of the most unnecessary lOss- es of a valuable food product is the ungathered nectar of flowers.
 Speaking in broad way. there are few farms in America that do not all nually produce several hundredweight of honey over and above the honey re- quired to sustain the bee harvesters of thls appetizins staple food product.
 The farms on which the owners sys- tematicaliy l.:in to save their honey at present are less than one ill hundred. On several million American farms where this honey goes unharvested year after year tliis wastage aggregates billions of dollars.
 A Minnesota scientific bee culturist. Francis Jager. Is authority for the statement that 100 colonies of honey bees suitably located and properly car ed for can he expected to average Il net production of profit twice as great as that of the average lO acre farm of his state can show. while the equip ment and overhead are less. Of course tOO colonies of bees cannot be pastur- ed on an average sized farm. but there are innumerable farms where dozen hives of bees could gather $1OO worth of honey annually.

Monkovs In Eoots.

In tropical countries the natives have many unique ways of catching mon- keys. One of them. as explained by . traveller. is this: The hunters walk about in short boots in sight of the monkeys. Then they take the boots of, place some gum In the bottoms and leave them on the ground. with drawing themselves to a great dis. tance. Presently the monkeys come down from the trees and try on the boots. and when the hunters come aft CT them the boots stick to the feet Of the monkeys. and they are unable to climb. Thus the initiative little anil mals are captured.
