The Freak Legislation. Every year sees the introducductiou of freak bills into the legislatures of one or more states, but the spring of 1915 seems to have capped the climax. The freak legislators have run mad. Hardly a state has escaped. It is the fashion of the press to poke fun at Kansas, which may be depended upon to come to the front with something foolish in the way of legislation. And although the Sunflower state has lived up to her glowing reputation in the present session, her companions in the sorority of states have not fallen far behind. Most of the new laws have been introduced for the purpose of prohibiting something or other. Here are a few, culled from one day’s exchanges. To prohibit the catching of ! frogs. Minnesota. To prohibit the use of face powder, rouge, hair dye or bleach, the piercing of ears and the wearing of earrings. Kansas. To compel chickens to go to roost before 7 p. m. To provide that bulls driven along the road at night shall wear lights. Colorado. Providing that all weeds and plants which cause hay fever shall be removed from the roadsides. Bachelors to pay an annual tax of $5 per head. Prohibiting the wearing of whiskers by doctors and dentists. Mass. Compelling the National Guard to do ninety days works each year on the roads and bridges of the state. Requiring dealers in stock foods to pay an annual license of $25 a year. Prohibiting free lunches. Neb. Compelling churchgoers to leave their firearms outside. Texas. Prohibiting treating. Prohibiting the giving of tips to barbers, waiters, porterk, hat snatchers, etc. Taxing bachelors of 30 years of age, $50 per annum. Licensing cats $1 per head per annum. Ill, To furnish lumber jacks with individual bathtubs. Minn. Establishing a uniform thickness of sleigh runners. N. Dak.

Invention of The Devil. The following bit from the archives of Pennsylvania is clipped from a Bellingham, Wash., paper, concerning n request of a literary society at Lancaster, Pa., for the use of a school house for the purpose of debating the question; “Are Railroads Practical?” The request was written in 1829. The school board answered: “If the society wants tlie school house to debate some decent, moral question, we should cheerfully give the use of it, but such a thing as a railroad is wicked as well as absurd. If God had wanted human beings to travel at the fearful rate of seven miles sn hour, He would have clearly foretold it; but since nothing is said about it in His Holy Writ,it is plainly an invention of the devil to lead immoral souls to hell. Hence we must refuse the use of the school house.”

To Elevate Railroad Tracks. " \ Plans for the elevation of the railroad tracks entering the Union depot in Indianapolis are gradually being completed and the work will begin some time in the near future, according toP, J. Landers, engineer of the Indiana' Union Railway company. The approximate cost of the work will be nearly four million dollars and a force of over 500 men will be employed. Th ) tracks are to be elevated from East Washington street and the belt line tracks to the Kentucky avenue crossing and the elevation will be sufficient to allow traction cars to pass under the tracks at the different crossings. At the East Washington street crossing the total elevation will be sixteen feet, as this is one of the places where traction cars, which require higher elevation than street cars, travel. At the other points the elevation will vary from eleven to fourteen feet. Directly in front of the depot the elevation will be eleven feet. The space below the tracks will be used for the transferring of baggage and mail to and from trains. There will be a flight of stairs from the south entrance of the station between every two tracks which will lead to the trains above. No definite time has been set for the beginning of the work, aut it is expected to be completed within the course of about four years.
