**INJUNCTION"?

"

The word "injunction," so pro- minent just now in reports of the dealings of the American Govern- ment with the miners' strike, is, of course, a term that is quite familiar in English law in the same sense of a judicial process restraining a per- son from a wrongful act... What seems however, to be peculiary American is the use of "enjoin" is the corresponding verb. country it is rarely if ever used In this

except as a synonym for "prescribe" command." In America it commonly means" "forbid.” Thus one reads that "In the State cours suits have been brought enjoin the usa of the boycott." Again: "It will, of course, be impossible to enjoin the collection of the tax, and presumably the attacks on the law will come in the form of suits for recovery of corpora tion taxes which have been paid." In asciber instance an American paper reports that this Supreme Court has enjoined the payment 10 a certa senator of a 75-dollar fee tor pushing a claim of the Cherokees against the United States, but at the same time has found it impossible to stop the payment of 300,000 dollars in fees to another agent for a similar servite

Sir Walter Scott, prince of time economisers, would let no one cut his hair but his wife, and this domestic arrangement enabled him to work while the operation was in progress. He would have been one of the first to use the self-cutter.

How is it that the ingenious and inventive tolerate the waste and the clumsiness of the umbrella?.

For 200 years slavish imitators of Jonas Hanway have carried about with them this bulky machine of wood and wire and calica, weighing goodness knows how much eves in dry weather and a great deal more in wer, to keep the rain from the ears and eyes and shoulders-for that is all it does. Pedestrianism is impeded and en- dangered by the obstruction and the screen of this, contraption outspread in appalling numbers on a wet day. The progress of cities is appreciably slackened in consequence."

Policemen, who are very shrewd fellows, protect their eyes and cars from the rain by wearing umbrella like helmets, which do not interfere with their all-round view, and do not get in the way of others. They have small but sufficient ulsters for their shoulders, and they never get so wet as men who load themselves with the umbrella machine.
