The Game Laws of Prussia.

Up to 1917 the killing Of game in Ger
many was a distinct and alienable pro-
prietary right, held independently of the
ownership of the soil, and empowering 9
the holder to hunt and shoot exclusively
over other than his own. In that year
the Frankfort parliament abolished the
game laws throughout Germany, and the
principle was established that the pos
session of the soil should henceforth
carry with it the alienable and exclusive
right to pursue and kill game upon it.
But the abolition of all game laws was
found upon trial to be too sweeping a
measure. It permitted the taking Of
game in all seasons, encouraged poach-
ing, gave use to lawless abuses, and
threatened the determination of game
altogether. In 1850 Prussia limited the
personal exercise of the right of killing
game to owners Of at least two hundred
acres, and restricted the exercise of this
right to certain seasons. In 1870 the
North German parliament passed a new
game law which retained the leading
features of the laws of 1913 and that of
1850. As the law now stands, any per
son in Prussia owning not less than two
hundred acres of land, lying together,
and who procure annually a game certi-
feate at a trihing, cost, has an unre-
stricted right to kill all the game upon
his own property; and the same right is
extended to the owners Of all enclosed
lands. The owners of unenclosed lands
of less than two hundred acres are not
entitled to kill the game upon them;
these revert, for all sporting purposes,

Frederick the Great as a Prophet


A collection of passages from the
works of Frederick the Great, apropos
of current events, has just been pub
lished at Wurzburg.. The following ar
guments bear striking resemblance to
those which are now generally advanced
against the doctrine of Papal infalli-
bility and the temporal power; How
can we believe in the infallibility of
those who profess to be the vicegerents
of Christ. We see Popes banishing each
other and Withdrawing the pretensions
they have put forward; ecclesiastical
councils offering the dogmas of former
councils under the pretense Of explain
ing them. The inference is clear either
one or the other must have erred. .
One may be a good Catholic and yet de-
prive the vicegerent of God of his
earthly possessions, which draw him
away too much from his spiritual duties,
and even frequently place his souls sal
vation in danger"
His remarks on the French nation are
equally telling These people," he
SAYS, "despise to-day what they admired
yesterday. The secret of OBJ
tanning applause in France is to be
novelty. To please the French it is ne
cessary to give them a new King every
two years. The French ma
ton is the most inconsistent in Europe.
1t has much wit, but no right sequence
of ideas. The leading characteristic of
the German people is not that amiable
vivacity which we see in the French;
but on the other hand, we are known for
our common sense, frankness and truth
fulness."

One of our "swell" New York fel-

Gloomy Harvest Prospects I'm Ire
land.

The Irish papers report the prospects
Of the coming harvest, which a month
ago seemed promising, to be now ex-
ceedingly gloomy. The almost incessant
heavy rain since the first week of July
has already caused immense damage,
and unless there should be a speedy
change for the better, this year will, it is
said, prove a disastrous one for Irish
farmers. The evil has not been con-
fined to any locality, but extends over
the whole of Ireland. The hay crop
has been irreparably damaged, and in
many instances totally destroyed. TIE
cereal crops have suffered considerably
in many districts, but should the weather
become and continue fine the yield may
yet prove an average one. Another
fortnight Of rain such as recently expe-
rienced would, however, it is feared,
ruin wheat, barley and oats. In any
case a late harvest is expected. There
have been some slight indication of po-
tato blight.

A Parsimonioun Merchant.

While in Havana, | became acquainted
with a merchant in good standing, but
unpopular in his social intercourse by
reason of his parsimonious habits.
/ endured his waspish obstinacy and
garrulous disposition without betraying
the slightest degree of anger, believing
it wiser to repay him in manner that
would render him ridiculous in the eyes
Of his friends, than by any rebuke or
alteration, thus waving all considera-
tions in reference to my own personal
feelings. The occasion was afforded me
at the residence of wealthy gentleman,
where large assembly had gathered, by
invitation, to partake of and enjoy his
munifcent liberality. Luxuries were
numerous beyond relation, being the
products of all climes, Independent of
cost. The richness of the exotics, their
perfume, the fruits and delicacies, the
substantials, the variety and rareness of
the wines, the decorations, the valuable
qualities of the plate and china, the
splendid dresses of the ladies', their
sparkling gems and animated counte-
nances, radiant with health and beauty
rendered the event a most brilliant and
interesting one.
The guests were constantly grouping
around me, in the hope and expectation
that would amuse them with some ex-
periments. Most eager among them was
the individual have alluded to. With
out hesitation | consented, and com
menced operations by causing the disap-
pearance Of handkerchiefs, rings and
gloves, and the production of an mex
haustible supply of bouquets, which
were presented to the ladies. The eyes
of all looked electrified, especially those
of the merchant, who, after endeavoring
to account for what he himself and others
had seen, remarked it was happy fac
ulty-the obtaining the growth of flow
ers without owning foot of land. Why
did not supply fruit in like manner2
Are you fond Of it?" | asked.
"Yes, l liveupon it, he answered.
That will account for the quantities
in your pocket.
" In mine2"
Yes, sir."
You have made a,mistake."
"Ohl no; I'll take them out, if you
will allow me"
With all my heart, sir.
He turned his body partially round,
while my hand entered his pocket and
bananas, oranges, and other
fruits, one after another, not only to his
CONSERVATION, but to the great merri-
ment and glee of his acquaintances.
Well, you assisted yourself literally
tonight, " l said.
No, sir ! never carry things awayl"
he Indignantly replied.
" But facts show for themselves" / re-
torted; and here is quantity more of
thingsH taking from under his neck-tie
ham sandwiches and grapes.
He appeared confused and ashamed
at what had taken place, and, lifting up
his hands, protested he was not guilty of
stealing, and by what magic means they
came about him, his philosophy could
not fathom. This, however, did not sub
due the taunts and laughter he was sub
jected to, or prevent my realizing full
satisfaction.-Signor Btitz.

A very discreet young Boston clergy
man, while out sailing the other day, was
saluted by two ladies in dory, who waved
their handkerchiefs at him. Being near
enough to see that they were strangers to

ladies that they had become too tired to
row further, and wished to obtain assist
