The Michigan Central Wreck

1t has been many years since American newspapers
have recorded such railroad wreck occurred Sun
day night at Porter Ind The exact of the col
ison between two trains, and the precise of
blame be attached to the different persons concerned
have not yet been ascertaned.
But it is not too to say that such wreck
ought not TO have happened, and that it would net have
happened if there had been proper observance of the
rules that have been established for the protection of
the lives of passengers and of tranmcn.
Railroad collisions do not happen a matter of
chance, and it is matter of chance that American
methods of operation have been improved that the
rate of deaths and injuries has been progressively
duccd until results have been gained that astonish

Like many other customs connected
with the law, the wearing of black
gown by the presiding magistrates OF
thc higher courts Is "a survival OF
the English practice, which. In s.
self, dates back to the time OF tho
Middle Ages. During this period tho
practice of law was confined princ-
pally to the clergy, who were almost
the only learned men in the kingdom,
and who. of course, wore their char
actcrisiic dress even when they were
arguing cases growing out of the trou-
bles of civil life.
When laymcn commenced to act as
lawyers, they too adopted a gown SIM

a compromise between the hood of tho
monks robe and tho ionsurc or shaw

The game OF dominoes, which was
invented in the 18th century, Is of OBJ
scurc origin. but has been ascribed
to the Italians. The original pieces
were OF ebony with an ivory face.
The ebony, with the white face and

to the mask and domino which was
worn at that time. and the game de-
rived its name from this fact.

SOWING TURNlPS TO
FOLLOW VEGETABLES
No Better Crop to Utilize Vacant
Spaces in Gardens.
They Are Useful for the Table, and
to Limited Extent Will Supply
Place Of Potatoes-Reasona-
bly, Rich Soil Needed.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
AS crop to utilize garden space
after early vegetables have been har-
vested, nothing is better than turnips.
Turnips should be planted in most
parts of the country about July %, but
in the extreme South as late as the
last of August and can be left in the
ground until after several light frosts
or all winter in the South. They are
useful as table vegetable, and to
limited extent, will supply the place
of potatoes. 1t is the general opinion
of specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture that the
American public could consume many
more turnips than it does, a fact of
particular interest this year. when
there seems every indication of cur
tailed potato crop.
For field sowing, turnips are usually
broadcasted. The particular require
ment is reasonably rich soil finely
raked and leveled off to avoid water
collecting in pools. The seed should
be sowed sparingly. One homely rule
is to take the quantity which, seems
sufficient and divide it in half. After
the seeds have been scattered on the
surface Of the ground, they should be
raked in. This may be done by drag
ging a piece Of brush over the ground.
The surface should be well smoOthed.
1t is good plan to SOW turnips just
after rain, giving them opportunity
to sprout before a crust forms. After
sowing, they will need little attention
until harvest.

IF 1T HADN'T BEEN SUNDAY

The ritual of society, as women

The infirmary nurses, three in mum

her therein and the matron had sought
to humble them by sending the cook
to enjoy her Sunday dinner in theil
company. The brawny cook described
what occurred as follows:
"Well, Nurse Jones, she comes dowr
and gets inside the door, 'Foul
plates?' she says. -Four? Who's the
fourth? Me- says I. Your she
says, and with that she losses hel

Here the cook drew a long breath
and then continued: "If it hadn',

INSTRUMENTATION About Title.

There is no such office as "chief JUS
tice of the United States Supreme
court" The proper title for the man
who presides over the higher court
in the United States-is "chief justice
of the United States" The Constitu-
ton Of the United States does not
mention the chief justice, although he
is the head of coordinate branch
of the government. Article III Of the
Constitution, which establishes the jul
dicial department of government, pro-
vides that "the judicial power of the
United States shall be vested in one
Supreme court, and in such inferior
courts as the congress may from time
to time ordain and establish" but it
does not mention the chief Justice.
Under this clause of the Constitution
congress has assumed the power to
declare how May Supreme court JUS
tees there shall he.
