1t is one thing 10 be careful,

simonious and so narrow-mlnied
that goud results cannot possibly
be reached.
The Legislature has mistaken IN
its ignorance parsimony Tor econo-
my. and does mol seem to reailze
the broad distinction between the
two terms.
This is made evident by The dis.
position manifested in that body TO
reduce the salaries and lees OF
State officers which we've meagre
enough before, down t. beggariy
sums that cannot command The
services OF the most efficient and
able.
The manifest disposition of the
Legislature to gel the services OF
State officers for nothing is very
apparent when We consider The pro
posed reduction of The Governors

saiion of $1,000 to S3,50), sum
inadequate for the maintenance Of
The Executive CT Il great Common
wealth, fifteen hundred dollars less
than a representative in Congress
receives for wire pulling and hay

The fact that the Governor lives

distinction of being the head Of the.

that the office is unattended by
great labor and responsibility; MOI

While Mr. Carnegies disinterested-
ness il not very apparent, his ground
for cxtnlling the Mckinley tariff is quite
obvious. Yet. notwithstanding the high
duty. the wide margin in price between
American structural iron and the for
cign article affords an opportunity Of
saving money of which builders should
avail themselves. We are assured that if
foreign beams should be carried in stock
by American merchants there would be
large market for them in this country,
in spite of the duty of $lS ton. I'm
portcrs are unwilling to take this risk,
because the American Beam association
could drop its prices below the lowest
rate of the foreign article and still have
considerable margin of profit. Thus
the Mckinley tariff. in obstructing the
imports of structural iron nearly as
efrec,ually as did its predecessor, amply
justiiies the warm praises of Mr.. Car

Welded in a Cemetery.

Six carriages drove into GreenmOnt
cemetery near Baltimore, recently.
1t was bridal party. The choice of u
graveyard for the performance of a
marriage ceremony was due to the
sentiment of the bride and her devo
ton to the memory of her parents,
who for two decades, have lain buried
in GreenmOnt.
The groom was Colonel Hendrick
Won Stamp of Washington, d. c., and
the bride, Miss Mildred Hammond,
daughter of the late General Howard
Hammond.
The party proceeded TO the Ham
mOnd burial lot and there the bride,
standing upon the grave of her mother
and the groom, standing upon the
grave of the brides father, with hands
clasped, the Rev. A. F. Sterger, pastor
of German Trinity Church, pronounced
them man and wife The graves were
handsomely decorated with flowers.

Japanese Oddities.

The Japs are picturesque above all,
and appeal to the artistic. sense. Next
to this their methods are 30 queer that
from our western point of view, the
camera is eternally inverted. In the
first place the Jap gets up when we
go to bed. Our north is his south, for
his compass needle points in the exact
opposite direction to that north Of the
equator. His methods would astOnish
an American carpenter, for he pulls
the plane and saw toward him. And
in building house he makes the roof
first.
A transplanted boat crew would
find their training of little avail in a
Japanese boat race, unless they could
push as easily as they could pull, for
in Japan the rover faces the prov and
pushes instead of pulling. In towing
the tow line is often fastened to the
top of the foremast instead of at tie
deck line, and boat is beached stern
first.
Stable practice would give our
cOachman a cold sweat; for he would
have to mount his horse on the right
side, fasten his harness there too, and
in the stall place the head of 'Buceph-
alus where the tail ought to be.
The japanese shakes his own hand
instead of yours and in the game OI
battle-dOOr the boys play with theil
feet, sometimes catching the shuttle
cock on his forehead.
THE last shall he first" in theil
books, for they begin where we enc
and the foot notes are placed at the
top of the page. In the matter OF di
recting letter, the destination is writ
ten first and the name last.
Our extreme nervous sensibility fndI
its balance in the Japanese woman, 6(
years old, whose cancerous breast wa
removed without anaesthetics anC
not a grOan or a movement made"-
quoting from the medical journal tina
recorded the case.

DEATH OF PROF. DwIGHT.-The
death of Theodore Woolsley Dwight,
professor emeritus of municipal law in
Columbia College, covering period of
80 years, removes a man who had
made a reputation as a teacher. a
scholar and a man. During his CON
nectiOn with Columbia College he
became widely known az one of the
most famous of instructors, but he had
the foundation of his reputation even
before that time. Born in 1920 he
became tutor in Hamilton College as
far back as 1912. and from 1886 to
1858 he held the chair of law, history
civil pOlity and political economy in
that institution. In addition to his
professional duties he rendered his
state valuable public services in vari.
GUS capacities. Few men have more
faithfully and usefullv performed
their life work in their chosen spberes
than the late Professor Dwight. He
was an own uncle of DIR. E. s. Dwight

Reneless SAad Coming.

D. E. Crawford, of the United States
Fish Commission, while in this citv
yesterday, said:
ave have little doubt now that he
fore two more years we shall have
evolved what the seaboard :public has
been clamOring for so many years-tbe
boneless shad. Of course, 1 don't
mean shad that actually is boneless.
but one that will be to all intents and
purposes as bOneless as the founder of
this country or the sole of England.
This will have accomplished by the
cross breeding of the shad, the Houn-
der, and the peculiar edible jelly fish
which is staple food among the sea-
coast natives of Japan. The commits.
siOner had much difficulty in securing
supply of these jelly fish in a healthy,
living condition, but at last managed
to bring about l 100 of them to San
Francisco and thence to the Cbesa-
peake Bay hatchery in tank cars.
They have thrived amazingly, and our
experiments, while at Grst rather dis
cOuraging, now leave but little doubt
OF turning out successful.
'At first the crossing resulted in the
production of a lot of jelly-fish with al
elaborate outfit of bones, which wa.
just what we didn't want, but time
and study showed us our mistak es
and now we have "A few half grown
shad with less than 18 per cent as many
bones as the ordinary sort.
Yes, as you say, science is remark
able thing. ."-PhiLG. Record.
