l were sealed up, making 5000 cans in one l days service. Oysters in their season. and crabs, of which it requires thirty for one two pound can, as we'll as tomatoes, peas and l other fruits in season, are sought for by the largest dealers in New York and by the gov ernment for it's stores. Large orders are now being filled by MT. T. T. Bryce He &C., cumulates no stock. He has great opposition from Baltimore packers, who are two or three hundred miles further from the oyster grounds in Hampton Roads; consequently he has the advantage. Quite number of schooners with his flag flying make it always known that he is ready to purchase. As cards were once circulated by them that no colored men need apply for work, so the colored oystermen (who are all colored) concluded among themselves that if the Baltimoreans could not employ colored men the colored men would not sell to them Hence it is working well. Directly and indi- rectly, between three and four hundred col ored people are employed in this enterprise in obtaining supplies. These people certain ly do show their willingness to work when well paid; and they are appreciative of kind ness. ''What Mir. Bryce says is certainly so." The writer was incredulous, but with his own eyes saw over one hundred crates of ten bushels each taken into the packing house and saw the operation going on, and saw the 1892 cans at night the results of days work. The writer saw the restaurant pro-
 
 men, boys, women and children, receiving for each measure five cent token, which will pass for currency at the restaurant for a cup of coffee, six crackers and piece of pork three such meals each day being all they want and better than they ever lived be- fore On each Saturday the tokens are redeemed, all over fifteen cents @ day being their savings. The hands can earn dollar each day with comfort About 3 D. m., being tired, their singing commences-regu- lar negro melodies. This altogether is IL sionary effort and result as it goes to show the surrounding people what can be done. Mir. Bryce has entered upon the work of speaking to these people in one of the outside school houses. Small beginnings end in large enterprises sometimes, and may this be such.

were individuals in taking property, socie- ties in keeping it, and wonderfully well or ganized for evading the payment of taxes

Judge Stiners of the Supreme Court ot
 Rhode Island has searched the Legislative
 records of that State from colonial days to
 the present to ascertain what has been done
 heretofore for the regulation or suppression
 of the liquor traffic. He finds that the first
 colonists passed laws to restrain or prohibit
 the sale of Intoxicating iquors,- especially to
 Indians. In 234 years 134 different acts were
 passed relating to the matter. Prohibition
 was tried in the seventeenth century and local
 option early in the eighteenth. License laws
 of some kind have been in force
 in Rhode Island 222 years, while
 prohibitory measures have stood but twelve years, and much of this brief period was wasted in settling questions as to their constitutionality, so that while the i- cense system has had a fair trial, prohibition has been but ftful experiment. The judge, commenting upon these facts, remarks that ''a in force grows in respect with the people, while one that is constantly changed has it- tie effect upon public opinion"
 Who would be a brakeman? If any of our readers would he may change his mind after being informed that only about 25 per cent. of the brakemen of freight trains die natu- ral death ,and that the average life of brake. man after he assumes the duties of his posi- tion is but ten years and fraction over. It is estimated by contemporary that at least ten brakemen are killed in the United States every day, or 3,65O during the year. Twice that number are set down as injured while on duty, making 10000 brakemen who are killed or injured during each year. Life insurance companies generally decline to take risks upon the lives of brakemen on freight trains at any rate and charge extra 1 per cent. on brakemen of passenger trains. The req son given for the discrimination between the two classes of brakemen is that linen on pas senger trains have great many lives intrust- ed to their care, and consequently have greater responsibility resting on them, and hence are not so liable to meet with acci- dents.'' Accident insurance can be obtained by brakemen on freight trains, but the rates are much higher than for men engaged in the ordinary callings of life. A preferred risk" such as merchants, salesmen (not traveling) lawyers, editors etc., is taken for about one- fourth what it costs to insure freight brake man

The inquiries do not cover the whole ground and have no ref. erence to personal property such as stocks and bonds. In 1900 the orders had nothing in France; in 1843 they owned $s, 500, 900. The inquiry was made in the interest of tax ation as many estates owned by religious bodies paid but few taxes or none at all.
