But I'll believe she's comm only when the dogwood is

How'll tell when spring has got here what the sym

For it's comm and certain an its almost now in

The Gods fought
And were victorious all foes, save one
Stupidity they could not overcome.

hat living for American workers is 'Socialistc
heory, and that to guarantee the toiler sufficient
provide the bare necessities of life his
ife and children is "a Utopian ideal, diamentricay
pposed to principles which American institutions and
merican progress have been founded and maintained"
This statement made by the attorney of the
which obbied through Congress legislative
mandate compelling the Interstate Commerce Commits
ion fix freight and passenger sufficiently high
to return of less than 515 per

If anything needed to cause American pro-

raordinary declaration Only drunk with power

If guaranteed for capital is be guaranteed

un-American and Utopian, the corollary is that

Henry's church in South Canal street.
He goes to the rear Of the church and
gets as close to the pulpit as possible
in order that he may hear the dis
course, and he stands there with
bowed head and resists all efforts to
lead him away until services are over.
He always returns after the services
of his own accord and never gives any
trouble unless an attempt is made to
restrain him when services at Elder
Henry's church are going on. So far

"QUAkERs" MERELY IN NAME
Sect In Russia. Of Doubtful Origin.
Has Little In Common With
the Parent Body.

In consequence Of the recent re-
vived interest in Quakerism on the e'con-
tinent of Europe-25O years ago there
were numerous Friendly settlements
throughout Holland, Germany and the
pale" of Russia-the international
service has been granted power by the
London yearly meeting to accept ap-
plicants for membership after receiv-
Ing reports from their relief workers.
The latest to be thus received, says
the Manchester Guardian, Is Countess
Olga Tolstoy, daughter-in-law of Leo
Tolstoy. She has long been interested
In the Friends, and the recent renewal
Of the Quaker activities in Russia has
made 1t possible for her to get into
direct communication with English
Friends. Among some Of the smaller
Russian sects there Is one whose MEM
bers are known as "Quakers." They
are apparently the descendants Of
some itinerant preacher Of the seven
teenth century. but they seem to have
no direct knowledge Of their origin,
and lack Of touch with the parent
body has led to variations In doctrine
and practice which today have left
little but the name as a link.

POOR TYPE OF LEGISLATORS
Some Reasons Assigned for the As
sertion That Lawyers Do Not
Make Good Lawmakers.

Lawyers, as class, should Of
course be represented in any legisla-
ture, but their enormous over-repre-
trous consequences. according to
Great American Issues" by John
Hays Hammond and Jeremiah jerks.
Observation of lawmaking bodies in
many countries leads to the conclusion
that lawyers make a most unsatisfac-
tory type Of legislators. 1t is not that
they lack intelligence but that the
whole course Of their professional
training and practice tends to unfit
them to play an important part in con-
structive enterprises of any kind.
Throughout his career a lawyer is oc-
cupied, not with the realities Of things
but with the appearance they may be
made to bear in legal argument; not
with the consequences which flow
from an action. but with the legiti-
macy Of its origin. He is always con-
cerned with the past as a source Of
precedent rather than with the fu-
ture as field for achievement. Pend
ing legislation Is often to the lawyer
something which will later be dis
cussed and interpreted by lawyers, In
stead Of an instrument designed to ef-
feet definite practical aim. 1t is
largely due to the lawyers attitude to-
ward legislation and to the influence
It has exerted upon the form and tex
ture Of enactments that SO many laws
passed for the purpose Of removing
abuses in our economic and Industrial
system have. until recently resulted

Use More coeonut Fat.

For many years past the worlds
production Of animal fats has been
steadily diminishing. Lack Of such
fats spelled famine in Europe during
the war. when great quantities Of
them were withdrawn from human use
to make glycerin for high explosives.
Even now, and in this country. there
is an insufficiency Of animal fats Gas
indicated by the price Of butter) and
to make good the shortage coconut
oil is imported in enormous quanu-
ties. During the last year 345, 1877 ,913
pounds Of this oil were brought into
the United States.
The oil is largely used in cooking
fat, but also In the manufacture Of
nut butter, candles, soap and cos
metics. It is said to be an excellent
substitute for cod liver oil. being high
ly digestible and with the advantage
of an agreeable favor. At ordinary
temperature coconut oil Is a white,
butterlike solid.
The new meats" are dried In the
sun before shipment from the tropical
countries, where coconuts are grown.
In this shape the material is called
copra. The oil is extracted by power
full hydraulic presses, the yield being
65 to 20 per cent Of the weight Of the
