GAME AND FISH.
Digest OF the Laws Protecting
Them In Force In Mfssou-
ri-You Can't Sein.

Since the adjournment OF the
legislature the LEDGER has been
applied to repeatedly for intorma-
ton as to changes in the game and
fish laws. Two bills passed the
general assembly, both of which
have been approved by the govern
or, One amends the game law by
taking January from the season for
killing deer. The other repeals
that part of section 1910, revised
statutes of 1889, which authorizes
the seining offish. For the benefit
of persons not familiar with the
game and fish laws, the following
explanation is given of the sections
referring to game and fish:
Hunting within the enclosure of
another with gun or dogs without
permission Of owner of land incurs
q fine of not exceeding s10..
Game may lawfully be killed be-
tween the following dates
Deer, October 1 to January 1.
Wild turkey, September Is to
March /.
Prairie chickens, August Is to
February /.
Pheasant and quail, October 1 to
January L.
Woodcock, July / to January TO-
Doves and meadow larks, Au-
gust / to February /.
The killing of song and insectiv-
orous birds and the trapping of
birds and distinctions of eggs is
forbidden at any season of the year
There is subsequent modifica-
ton of this section which author
ICES the trapping of game within
season by the owner of enclosed
premises, and such devices to be
wholly upon his own premises.
Killing and trapping game by
non residents of the state is prohib-
tied at all seasons. 1t is unlawful
to sell game out of season or game
having been killed unlawful, and
the tfansportion of such game is
also prohibited.
FISH.
The poisoning of fish by any
means, of killing the same with
dynamite or other explosives, is
misdemeanor punishable by a fine
of not less than $50 nor more thai
$500, or by imprisonment in tn.
county Jail.
The section authorizing the sein
ing of fish certain months in tn.
year was repealed, and the follow
ing enacted:
"Sec. 1910. If any person shall
place or maintained, in any of the
waters of the state, any sein, net
gill-net, trammel net, bag, weir o,
other device ,or by ary such mean
shall fttss h g. arcatch- a. fish in the
waters OF this state, he shall beI
deemed guilty of misdemeanor, |
and upon conviction thereof fined
In sum of not less than s5 nor
more than s10O. Provided, the
of this sections hall not
prohibit persons who own land ad-
joining such waters from taking
fish for their own family use and
provided further, that they shall
not prevent the free passage of fish
from passing up and down such
waters"
The section following the one
quoted permits the use of a min
now net not exceeding fifteen feet
in length, to be used for catching
minnows for bait or stocking ponds |
1t is unlawful to buy or sell fish
caught contrary to the provisions
Of law quoted. The Missouri and
Mississippi rivers are not deemed
"waters of the state" " consequently
they are exempt for all general
fish laws.

The affectionate man, who sits with
his arm on the back of the seat when he
rides i'll the cars with his wife, is always
open to the suspicion that somewhere in
the recesses of his self esteem he consd-
ers himself a sadly henpecked individual,
and is excessively attentive to his better
half in public places for the simple pur-
pose of side tracking any intimation of
such state of affairs that might be ap-
parent if he didn't do his half of the
acting
But the exquisite way friend Of mine
directed his pretty wife where to 60 the
other day rs they parted at a crowded
street corner contained no such intima-
ton, inasmuch rs he put in the word
dear wherever he could catch his
breath, and concluded with, Don't for
get, dear, to take car at Park square,
dear, and remember that the number is
three hundred. dear, and thirty-seven.

One of the most calling tyrannies of
modern life is that of the average
man." Who eversaw the average man?
Is any one acquainted with any one who
ever did? Has any one any reason to be-
lieve that the average man ever existed?
The fact of the matter is that the aver
age man is a myth. He never did and
never will exist. He is "a philosophical
abstraction, "A stage property of the meta
physician, a straw man set up to be wor-
shipped or reviled, as the case may be.
Yet people always bow down to him and
talk in whispers about his thoughts, his
moods, his needs and desires They are
rejoiced when he is supposed to smile,
and are cast down when he frowns.
Statisticians burn the midnight oil in
order to edo sums" about him. States
men give up their lives to his service.
Political economists look solemn as they
take his measure. Physicians explain
how he may keep well, and preachers ad-
just the message of the gospel to his COM
prehension. Yet, of all the myriads of
men who have ever lived each one differs
more or less from the supposed average
man. Who will deliver the world from
the tyrannical rule of the average man:

Singers who murder" music are usu-
ally considered more guilty than the
music is. The provoked Cincinnati
judge was not blaming the music, how
ever, when he turned the metaphor the
other way.
His daughter and young gentleman
caller frequently indulge in tuneful vocal
practice over the piano, and when they
get together in the parlor the judge gets
in as remote part of the house MS pos
sible in order to avoid what he terms the
uproar. One evening they had been
even more devoted than usual to their
music, and on the following morning the
judge inquired of mis- daughter:

parlor last evening""

OF make believe is stripped off. 1t is with this
intent that have subordinated any reasonable,
or unreasonable, ambition for scientific fame
which | may have permitted myself to enter
tain to ether ends; to the popularization of
science: to the development and organization
of scientific education; to the endless series of
battles and skirmishcs over evolution, and to
untiring opposition to that spirit which in
England, as everywhere else, is the deadly
enemy of science.
Among Professor Huxley's most cher
ished friends is the philosopher Herbert
Spencer. an Englishman now over seventy
years of age, and one of the chief advocates
of the doctrine of evolution. Early in his
literary career he "became firm believer
that all organized beings have arisen by
development. In 1854 he first conceived Of
evolution as a universal process, and later
came to the conclusion that it must be-
come the basis of any system of philosophy
which represents and conforms to the gen
eral method of nature" His chief claim
to permanent remembrance must rest on
the volumes which explain his System Of
Synthetic Philosophy" and which will al
ways remain standard and an authority
for thinkers.
The other survivor of the distinguished
coterie is Professor John Tyndall. He was
Spencer's birth, but he did not have the
early advantages enjoyed by the latter.
His parents were humble residents of Car
low, Ireland, and could do little toward
launching their son on career. The boy,
therefore made one for himself. He studied
mathematics, got work as a civil engineer
and in 1913 toled from dawn to dark for a
salary of twenty shillings a week. After
ward he filled a place as n teacher in "A col
lege of technical education. He saved his
pennies went to Germany, and while there
studied sixteen hours a day that he might
miss nothing" In 1856 he visited Switzer
land with Professor Huxley and began his
researches regarding the phenomena OF
! glaciers. What he has done for science
can be suggested by quoting the titles OF
some of his books: Forms of Water il
| Clouds and Rivers, Ice and Glaciers
Heat as a Mode of Motion, "Notes OF
Electricity and Light" ami FLOATING Mat
! ter in the Air in Relation to Putrefactior
and Infection
Outside his recognized life work two
things have in their time brought Profes
sor Tyndall prominently before the public
One was his quarrel with Gladstone re
garding Irish affairs, and the other hi
famous proposition to institute a praye
test. In the latter case he suggested tina
patients equally i'll should be selected
half of them to be given the best medica
treatment and the other half to be praye,
for but not doctored. The proposal ere
ated IA sensation and much comment, bu
the test was never made.

Chinese Idcas About God.

A young lady who teaches Sunday
school lessons to two Chinese boys in an
Episcopal church on Fifth avenue, speak
ing of her work, said: my two sons of
the Flowery Kingdom can speak but lit
tie English, but l really think they have
a good idea of Christ and his mission on
earth. They seem very apt at learning,
and kneel and stand up at the proper
time during church services Both of
them wear queues, though, and would
not part from them for any considera-
ton. 1t took me long time to make
them understand that Christ was divine
They imagined l had reference merely
to his goodness. At first they imagined
he was an idol that had been found over
eighteen hundred years ago at Bethle-
hem, in Judea, and had been buried,
after being exposed on the cross, and
then stolen and hidden by those who
worshipped the idol. 1t was hard to get
them away from the JOSS idea.
"They speak English so imperfectly
think that is drawback to their rapid
advancement. One of them asked me if
God was buried in Judea, as well as his
son. When l explained that they lived
above the clouds an incredulous look
came upon the boys faces, and one said,
Mclean man hab tings way up
could not deny that we worshipped g
being far above us, but all around us
How long did it take me to make them
understand the divinity of Christ? Well
nearly four years. They are bright
boys. New York Herald

purposes.
Several of the pupils in a certain
"backwoods" district determined not to
study geography. The teacher believed
that they We're old enough to begin the
subject, and accordingly called one of
the oldest boys to her desk and spoke to
him about the necessity of knowledge
of his own and other countries.
Il sha'n't study geography till l git

him by the collar, intending to shake
him, when the young rascal hastily add
