All discrimination is not forbidden by tho net to regulato commerce, but only such discrimination as is undue. This, in effect, was a decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission on Tuesday of lost week, in the case of the Herbeck-Domer Co., of Hones dale, against the Baltimore and Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroads. Tho complainant has travelling salesmen who carry about 1,250 pounds of baggage, on all over 150 pounds of which they have to pay ex cess fare. The claim was made that if the railways charged for all bag gage they might well reduce the charge now made for the transporta tion of excess baggage, thereby bene fiting the complainant. It was urg ed that when a railroad charged the same amount for carrying a passen ger without baggage as it charged a passenger with 150 pounds of bag gage it was discriminating against the former in violation of law. The commission held .that the dis crimination was not unlawful. IIor.sc Stolen at Lnko Iiodore. J. E. Blggert, of Carbondale, is searching for a fine horse and car riage which mysteriously disap peared from the grounds of Lake Lodore, Friday afternoon. The rig was driven to the lake by three young ladies, who left the outfit In the woods, the horse tied to a tree. At six o'clock, when they were ready to return home the rig was not where it had been left, and no trace of it could be dlscoverea. Honesdale, Port Jervis and Scran ton and other towns were notified of tho theft, but as yet the thief has tho property in his possession, so far as is known. The horse is described as being dark brown and the carriage, body and gear, a bright yellow. That combination should be easily traced. The horse is said to be valuable. Two Naughty Girls tho Culprits. It has been discovered that two young girls, in n spirit of fun, took tho above rig and went for a ride. They were arrested for their prank and badly frightened, but were dis missed with a severe reprimand by Alderman Seaton. Mr. Blggert has his horse and buggy again, all right. Sentenced Under New Law.

Confirmation of Darwin's Theory that Man Is Closely Related to Primates. For some years past the eminent British ophthalmologist, Dr. Lindsay Johnson, has been investigating the eyes of animals, and has made some valuable discoveries of great Interest to zoology and our knowledge of tho evolution of various animals. Ono ol the most remarkable of these re searches Is a confirmation of Dar win's theory that man is closely re lated to tho primates. From his In vestigations Dr. Johnson has found that tho eyes or all the apes, includ ing man, are practically identical. Each has the highly complex system of veins and arteries, and the direct or parallel vision. According to this authority, the dog has two ancestors, ono round-eyed and the other oval .yed. The first is the hyena, and the latter the bear through the raccoon. All animals exposed to chase by ene mies, such as the hare, rabbit, and squirrel, can see all around, and all the rodentla squint. The lower an animal in the s.cale, the further is Its eye from parallel vision. According to this authority also, the corpus nlger, or black body of pigment, in the eye of the horse, which has proved such a source of speculation to the naturalist, veterinarians, and zoolog ists, reveals through the ophthalmo scope a new means of tracing the an cestry and relationship of the horse. The eye curtain is precisely the same as that which is found in all tropical animals, such as the onega, camel, antelope, etc., and fulfills one important function the protection of the eye from sunlight. One result of Dr. Johnson'3 researche:, according to Prof. Ray Lankester, the celebrated zoologist, will necessitate a reclassi fication in one sectiou of zoology. Original Names. With the exception of a few fami lies in Athens and Sparta, the Greeks had no family names. Latin sur names were derived from various qualities of mind or body, as Cato, from catus, wise; Crassus, fat; Macor, lean; Calvus, bald, etc. Originally names were all signified. This is strikingly the -aso among the aborl gines of America, our American In tliaus, ns Red Jac. ot, Black Dirt, etc It is possible that his intimates and a few of his wives called King Solo mon "Hoi. We speak of the sun, as "sol." But Solomon in Hebrew means peace. Who ever heard of Mrs. Abraham, or Mrs. Sarah Abraham? Sarah means princess. The great pro genitor of the Jews was not Mr. John Abraham, or Mr. Saul Abraham. Ho was simply Abraham, meaning the father of a multitude. He was origi nally Abram, meaninf the father ot height, the additional syllable being stuck in when the promise of a numerous and beautiiul posterity was renewed to uisn by God. Saw Dust Roads In Florida. They are making roads of Bawdust mixed with earth on a new plan in Leon County. Two ridges of earth are thrown up with a road machine at the required width from each other and the space between is filled with a six-inch bed of sawdust. This is fol lowed with a smaller machine which plows up and mixes the earth with the sawdust. This makes a roadbed on which the tires of tho heaviest loaded vehicles make no impression. The contractor, G. H. Averltt, has kept an accurate account of. expenses in connection with this section of saw dust and earth road and says the cost' aggregates $297 a mile, showing It to be about the cheapest road material in use. It may be suggested that saw dust Is not a durable material but tho True Democrat meets this objection with the statement 'that one or two roads were constructed in a south Georgia county 20 years ago, and are still In good condition, showing the durability. As is well known, Leon County soil Is clayey. Florida Times Union. Bad Roads a Tax. Bad roads are an extravagance that no farming community can afford. Just what they cost In unnecessary expense It takes but a moment to de termine. A team and driver la reasonably worth $8.00 a day, and by the use of these It la possible to deliver to mar ket, from your home, 100 bushels of corn. Hauling over good roads, the cost of delivery la three cents per bushel. But, If In consequence of bad roads but fifty buahols can be delivered, the cost Is doubled and the difference, la what the lmpasiable roads cost you. Continue this calcula tion, applying It to the hauling of all ot your crops and It quickly be comes apparent that it' amounts to a very burdensomo tax. WOMAN YET SAVAGE PROF. STARR KNOWS The Famous Student of Monkeys Finds Her Still in a Primi tive Condition LIKES EVIDENCES OF SLAUGHTER Say3 All Her Practices Are Fierce Her Fondness for Bloodshed He Considers Still Pronounced Makes Use of Deception and Treachery. Chicago. Frederick Starr, profes sor of anthropology in the University of Chicago, described the twentieth century woman as a savage, who gains her ends by deception and treachery and who delights in ovl denco of slaughter and bloodshed. He assorted that women have not chang ed since the days when the human race had tails and lived In tho Jun gle. This attack upon women is a new lino of activity for Professor Starr, who is best known to the world by his studies of tho monkeys In Africa. Tho professor at one time entertained tho hopo of catching tho talk of mon keys upon the phonograph. Three months ago Dr. Starr mado tho pre diction that Theodore Roosevelt would die of fever on his African hunting ex pedition. The professor airs his knowledge of women in an articlo called "Tho Women Men Marry." He begins by making it clear he believes women never must be permitted to rise above the savage state, for he reasons that the existence of the race itself de pends upon the savage or barbaric In stincts in the heart of the feminine half of the world. "Woman, the eternal savage," de clares Starr, "whose only salvation lies in the fact that she always has been, always will be a savage!" Then he continues to say it is im possible to civilize women, "for the fundamental nature of woman is bar baric, and the continuance of the race depends upon the rigid assertion of the fundamental difference between man and woman." Professor Starr then challenges any one to point to a single first class achievement in literature, In science, in art, by woman. He has been un able to find one, for the simple reason, as he holds, that there has never been a first class woman artist. "Woman's religion Is also notably that of the lower culture," continues the professor. "She is always seeing signs in everything; she avoids hav ing thirteen at her table and starting on a journey on a Friday. She is the chief supporter ol the spiritualistic mediums; she is the founder of new sects in which tho religious attitude of savagery is given high-sounding names and maintained by the most select individuals. Further, worn in dabbles constantly in the occult, and spiritualism, mental science and the occult are among the oldest ideas of savagery." Starr says tnat the twentieth cen tury woman shows herself no further advanced than her sister of the Jun gle by her love for bright colors, her fondness for decorating herself with birds and the furs of animals, also in her love of jewels and her use of per fumes. "In the very fundamentals of her character, in her very Instinct," says Starr, "woman has come down through the ages unchanged. Savage Ingenuity In gaining ends through de ception and treachery has become pro verbial. The modern woman retains these practices of savagery. When it would seem equally easy for her to gain her end by straightforward and direct methods she delights to resort to sinuous means and duplicity. Wom an lives in an old, aid world. She thinks the old thoughts, feels the old emotions, Is moved by the old im pulses; she dresses in the old gew gaws; she Is thrilled by the world-old hopes and fears." Starr's parting shot is at the charge of fondness for evidence of slaughter and bloodshed, and he says that In this respect woman's savagery Is most pronounced. FATHER OF MUSHROOMS. Giant Found Near Pittsburg, Only 48 Hours Old, Weighs 33 Pounds. Pittsburg. Tho father of all mush rooms was discovered a few miles back of Pittsburg by Dr. Allen J. Wil; lets, Professor of Economics and En lish in the Carnegie Institute. He found the mushroom at the base of a great oak tree near Mlllvale, It la 22 1-2 by 32 inches by 9 lnchea thick and welgha 33 1-2 pounds. Two houra after the diacovery the Carnegie Institute had the find, which la said to be the largest in history save one. Many years ago a mush room weighing forty-five pounds was discovered.
