WASHINGTON, D. c., May 29.-hespecting
the action of the French government in sta
tloning a war ship at st. Georges bay, New
foundland, to prevent United States fisher
men from obtaining bait, it is SAID at the
war department here that action cannot be
taken nor can any opinion as to the merits
of the case be given until further advices are
received. It has not yet been made clear to
the department whether the ship has
prevented our fishermen from buying bait,
OF whether it has prevented the French in
habitauts from selling it. These are two
very distinct and different propositions.

JOE,s MISFORTUNE.

His Look OF Anguish Was Not Due TO HIS
Having Been Crossed In Love.
The great farm house is ablaze with
lights tWinkhng from every room. Long
tables groan beneath the loads of good
things the busy house wife has been
days preparing.
From the barn come merry voices,
joyous laughter.
Let us stand unobserved in the open

What happy, merry lot of young
folks-stalwa-t. handsome young men
and healthy maidensl
They are ranged around the walls
with rapidly diminishing piles of corn
before them, which they husk and

kissed her-maybe on her collar or her
back hair; but that doesn't matter; she
counts it all the same.
How happy they all seem.
But no. Over there in a dark cor
ner sits a tall, powerful, handsome
young fellow, all alone. He speaks to
nobody unless addressed, aud then his
answers are short and sullen.
Ever and anon he casts q piercing
glance at young man of about his own
age who sits at the end of the row oppo-

His face dsrkens. There is murder in
his eyes. Heis in love, perhaps, and

The bell rings for supper Just as the
husking Is done, and the huskers
jump mp and scamper pen nell toward
the house, but the tall, handsome
young man remains seated and drops
his face in his hands with something
that sounds like a sob.
For a long time he sits thus alone
then light, hurried step is heard, and
q sweet voiced girl asks:

A CURIOUS example of how modern
research in bacteriology was foreshad-
owed long ago is furnished IN a report
of recent lecture of scientist given in
Nature. He there quoted a French
traveller visiting England in 1868, who

envy on May % of that year. At this
meeting it was reported, among other
things, that the termination of insects
does not arise from decay; for the in
testines Of an animal and other parts
which easily corrupt, having been placed
in a glass, closed with cotton wool, so
that no fly or other animal could enter,
but only the air could penetrate, they
had been preserved for six months with
out maggot or other thing being OBJ
served. This is almost exactly the ex-
pertinent of Pasteur in the present gem

ment, not only were insects and other
animals excluded but also the micro

Government bonds taken up. Congress
authorized banks with capitals of not
less than $50, 900 to issue bank notes to
the amount of 80 per cent of the
Government bonds they might hold,
and forbade banks not holding bonds to
issue notes. A Comptroller of the Cur
rency was appointed to look after the
national banks" and provision was
made by which each bank should re-
deem the notes of any other bank.
Thus the Government placed its bonds.
and all over the country were started
local banks of issue. so that money WAS
put into circulation very rapidly and
thoroughly. The National Bank act
expired in 1884, and was extended to
1904.
