Early on the 21st of March the sun the sign of Aries, and astronomical spring begins. Two or throe thousand years ago, when the heavenly y ii is were originally fashioned, Aries marked the vernal equinox, the passage of the sun through which betokens the opening of spring. Owing, however, to the slow westward movement of the equinoctial points Aries in reality has no longer the honor once ac- corded it, but has drifted to the cast- ward. The constellation of Aries sent in mythology the ram with the golden fleece of fame. and a short sketch of its history may lie of interest. n legendary king of had t children, and and also had two wives, having the and taken a second. The stepmother was not at all good to the children and treated them so badly that she aroused sympathy in their behalf. Among those inter- in the youngsters was Mer- who sent a ram, which took them on its buck, sprang into the air and hustled them oil to the east- ward. In those days Europe and Asia were separated by a strait, as we find in a measure to be the case and the girl became frighten- ed or perhaps dizzy from seasickness in crossing the water at this very rough time in her experience, lost her hold and fell into the which to this day arc known as the Hellespont. The boy had a better hold and kept on until he reached the far end of the Black sea. us showed a spirit of sacrifice, not of self, however, by killing the ram and presenting its golden fleece to the king of country, who caused it to be hung in the sacred grove of the Aries under the guard of a sleep- less dragon. The star marking the forehead was called by the Arabs which means sheep. In very early times it is said that the Greeks considered this star as the sunrise herald of the vernal York Time. MODERN PIRATES. Condolence One of the hardest things in tn world is to condole with ii a misfortune or a bereavement. If it were not that the matter generally serious u great many fun- stories could be printed about the condolences people offer to the be- Hut at Manchester some time ago a hardworking Irishman fell out of a fourth story window and broke his neck. His wife was of course in great distress. After the funeral n neighbor call- ed to offer her sympathy and con- was a very sad thing Indeed it was. To die like that to fall out of a fourth story win- was it so asked the visitor. I heard it was n third story The sea rover who was wont to swoop down on a mer- and loot his cargo was regarded by all civilized nations as a criminal of the most danger typo. If caught, he was usually hanged along with his crew In these more peaceful days there are pirates who prey on commerce, but they are far less engaging to the imagination. Among them may be called the as he is sometimes called, who, despite the laws, still prospers. Instead of holding up a ship laden with merchandise he attacks the bus- of some other manufacture and by imitating his rival's brand, the style and cover of the packages in which the wares are sold, and also by throwing out to the public the bait of a cheaper price, he diverts the revenues of his victim into his own pocket. So great has become the of these land that American are now asking for a law which shall make the imitation of trademarks a penal A bill has been intro- at Washington which pro that the maker of goods which are articles of interstate commerce and which bear labels in imitation of other brands shall liable to fine or for two years, or both. The manufacturer who fleeces the public by means of a counterfeit label is as much a swindler as the green goods man or the gold brick financier, If, as the advocates of the bill as- it will be supported by the courts should be passed. -New York Tribune.

C, Mar. Opposition to the rate bill has been latent all along and is crystal- zing as opportunity offers for the enemies of the measure to get a tangible reason for criticism. Sen- Scott of West Virginia is one of the latest to come into the open and array himself squarely against the administration measure- In a speech n the Senate this week, he took just the position that will be as- Inter by a number of senators and denounced the proposed as ill advised and inefficient. He took the that govern- regulation of rates was mount to government ownership, differing in degree but not in kind He said that the experience of for governments had abundantly proved that the government could not make a rate that would meet needs of expanding trade and com- And he said that a rate based on mileage alone would tend to centralize the trade of the country in a few cities that were favored in their location or had the natural advantages of water lo- cation. This last statement disclosed the radical weakness of the speakers position as it was obvious that a river or seaboard city the path to which was open to any sort of carry- competition would of necessity have the advantage of competition such as any favorably located point on the railroad ought to have. The advantage of location is obvious and inevitable if all shippers and all localities are treated on a perfectly equitable basis and the railroad, which v really the highroad of the country just as the rivers are, were thrown open to all comers on equal terms. The Senator said that he wanted to see the railroads forced to make connections with brunch and lateral lines and thus be forced to give free ind equal access to all shippers to all markets. lie also forced the principle of court review in any rate-making power that might be given.

Between the rears 1780 and a great animal fair was held here for the sale of goods brought for years by the fleet from Cadiz, whence it derived the name f applied to the city in documents of the eighteenth century. The city is famous throughout Mexico for the exceeding beauty of its women and of its situation. From these, its pleasing characteristics, arise the saying that is a part of heaven let down to earth, and the proverb, son alluring are the women of A less pleasing characteristic, its frequent days of mist and rain, at once the and- a very serious draw- back upon the its green loveliness, has given ray yet another in During these melancholy days the muffled in his and smoking, dismally mutters.

The city has a perfect drainage system, based upon and indeed consisting almost entirely of the facilities so lavishly bestowed by nature in the shape of rain and grade. The streets slope gently from the sidewalk on either side to the center of the roadway, thus practically forming high troughs or gutters, and nil dirt or refuse matter is immediately washed beyond the city limits by the rains, which fall, at least for a short time, almost daily throughout the entire year. This accounts for the clean appearance of the city, which impresses those who have vis- other Mexican cities not so ad- located in respect to drainage as So abrupt is the descent of the streets down the side of the hill that no attempt is made to use carts or carriages for transportation of goods or persons.
