ciety." play that created quite sensation

Sorosis is one Of the wOman'S clubs that

tally and all that something good to eat Is.
They come In their best bOnnets and gowns,
and gather around daintily appointed tables
In Sherry's white and gold ballroom, and
grow benevolently disposed toward the
world by first discussing palatable spread
before 'tackling" the profound problems
that veX the minds of the thinking world.
A brilliant weekly in town. inclined to treat

RAILWAYS THAT WON'T PAY.
Is 1t Ever Advisable TO Build Roads
Before They Are Wanted

Whoever is responsible for the railways
of Victoria, writes the ex-chalrman of the
Victorian Railway Commission, Richard
Speight in the current number of the Eagi-
neering Magazine. due regard was PAID 10
the development of the country and to fair
distribution OF the accommodation the State
was able to provide. Some hold the view
that. II 1t Is not in evidence that a railway
Will pay, 1t should not be authorized; but If
this doctrine had been adopted from the
first, many railways now direct source #
revenue to the State would never have been
made. and the development of the c0u try
would not have received the impetus the
construction OF those railways created.
Most OF the districts now served to the pres
ent railways depend upon agriculture for
their main products, and would have To-
manned practically in their virgin state il
facilities of transit had not been provided.
The advantage TO the country has therefore
been enormous. as compared with a tenn
porary inability to earn sufficient net rev.
enue 10 cover the entire interest upon the
moneys invested In the railways.
1t may be that the present generation
cannot undertake to bear the burden of i'm
mediate expenditure, which is not Intended
Tor present requirements only, but, as it
properly should do, contemplates the 1eees-
stiles of the future. The country's de-
yelopmenl ought not TO stand still on that
account. and ii temporary difficulties are
too great and incunsistent-under present

splendid colony. it is surely within the
ability OF lis statesmen to reconcile aud ar
range distribution that will not bear too
nard upon present, and at the same time
not give our successors grounds for saving
that we had no confidence in the resources
OF the country
The question of making only railways
that will pay whatever that elastic term
may mean is associated with the c0nsid-
GRAFTON that any one who has TO deal with
the question cannot disregard tue condition
that so long as the State decides TO DO the
ralway-proyider it must, to the extent OF
It's ability. fairly distribute its accommoda-
ton. That is 20 say, it cannot satisfy one

1t Is astonishing how many people be-
lieve the old story that Napoleon Bonaparte
put check for 100000 francs in silver
fve-franc piece, and that the coin is yet in
circulation in France. They say that the
people did not want the fve-franc piece,
and that in order to create a demand for
silver money of that denomination the En-
peror resorted to the device mentioned.
The check, or treasury order,was written
on asbestos paper. and mace In the coin.
1t would be interesting to know, il all this
be true, how many five franc pieces have
been broken open since the story Of the
check was first circulated,

SUCH A MISTAKE.

But the Irishman Remedied 1t as Par
Possible.
An Irish officer, who had served in
Malta, was one day at public din
ner. Expatiating on the luxurious
living at Malta, he spoke particular
ly of the excellent quality of the
anchovies. He had never seen any
like them anywhere else. He told OF
a grove of them which he had seen
growing in the governors garden
upon the esplanade A gentleman
present disputed the statement that
anchovies grew on trees, says the
ArgOnaut. The Irishman reaffirmed
it most emphatically. The wine was
flowing, and the lie passed. A chal-
lenge was given and accepted. On
the following day the parties met, at
tended by their seconds. At
the first fire the Irishman's
shot took effect in his opponent's
thigh, the ball hitting the bone and
causing such shock that the latter
fell upon his back. and in such pain
that he kicked his heels vigorously.
''ffaith, major" said our hero's sec
ond, you've hit your man. but !
think not dangerously. for see what
lively capers he is cutting" Capers!
Capcrs.." exclaimed the Irishman.
with a start; oh, by the powers.
what have | done? Bad luck to me
forever for such dreadful mistake!'
And. Fastening to the side of his an
tagonist. who had been raised to
sitting posture, he grasped his hand,
gushing forth as he did so: my
dear friend | hope you're not killed;
and if I've harmed you seriously, I'll
ask your pardon forever; for made
a murderin' mistake! It was capers
that / saw growing upon that tree at
Malta, and not anchovies at all!''

When fishing for Holsters. it is there
fore necessary for the men to exam
Inc thelr pots as frequently as possi-
be. Grabs, being slower in their
movements, do not so readily escape,
and an extra good haul is anticipated
II the pots are unraised for a longer
period than usual
Lobsters are not only evilly dis
posed toward crabs, but, sad to say,
they do not bear good will to one an
other. As soon as they are safely
landed their formidable nippers are
encircled with piece of string to
prevent them mangling their neigh
bors They are most pugnacious
creatures. If two happen to meet in
a confined space they will at once

Perhaps it is because crabs arc
less active than Holsters that the pot
into which it is hoped the former
will crawl must be moved to fresk;
ground every time they are exam
lned; otherwise few or none will be
caught. On tho other hand, the
pots for Holsters may be dropped on
the very spot from which they were
raised, without the subsequent catch
being thereby lessened.
In the matter of food, our crusta-
cean friends have dissimilar tastes,
says Cham bers' Journal, and this
fact is manifested in the character of
the bait used. The crab likes his
meat to be quite fresh, while the
lobster, in spite of the avidity with
which, as we have seen. he will
clean out the shell of newly killed
crab, prefers flesh that j. decidedly
''high. Indeed. The staler it is the
more tempting it is to his appetite.
The bait is placed between tive
leathern thongs. and is kept in its
position by a sliding button. 1t
