THE "CRoWNER's QUEST"

An Absurd Old Law Which Has Some
Very Undesirable Results.
Dickens, who SO often studied with
delighted interest the application OF
English law to particular cases, would
have found subject worthy of his
grimmest humor in the. fact, cabled
recently from London, that when the
master OF fishing smack, cruising near
where the Elbe went down, saw float
ing IN the water a dead body, which
WA Ger LESS that of victim OF the
grest ,sisa ster, he made no effort TO res
cue rom the waves and carry it
asher f3T Identification and burial.
lnstead he sailed past and away from
the ooiafsll bit of fot'sam as quietly as
clrcuu'sfa noes would permit, not, as
one ialSllt suppose, because he was a
particularly hard-hearted and cold
blooded mariner, but because recent
~, after landing body, he had been
forced TO pay the funeral expenses. -
Curious as that experience had been
and delightfully."- illustrative as it was
OF ''crowner's quest" wisdom, the cap
tain had no inclination to repeat it.
One Lesson had been enough TO teach

That II the Way the Yisharmsn Eats d

''In the minds of most people" said .
man with an expert knowledge Of fish
and fishing, "the sturgeon is doubtless
associated with the idea of q big fish
only; they think Of him when he is well
grown and has come to weigh seventy
five to two hundred and fifty pounds,
and 1 suppose that most people, when
they think of sturgeon as food, think
only OF smoked sturgeon, which is the
form in which it is most commonly
placed in the market. To those famil-
lar with the fish In these forms only the
idea Of broiled sturgeon might seem
humorously preposterous, but broiled
is the way the fisherman eats Il If he
can get sturgeon of the right size.
"The flesh of the old sturgeon is
coarse and rough; that Of the young
sturgeon is finer and much more palat-
able. If you take . sturgeon that
weighs eight or ten pounds and cut out
steaks five or six inches back from the
head and broil them you viii find them
very good. But the sturgeon is rather
oily and you can't eat very much OF
them. Young sturgeon is sometimes
fried, but not so often; it is better
broiled; but along the water front men
make stew of sturgeon, with onions,
that is by no means unpalatable."

WHY MEN SHOULD MARRY.

os0boess Less Opportunities for Mental
saN Moral Development.
1t was clearly meant that all men, as
well a. Ill women, should marry; aud
those who, tor whatever reason, miss
this obIous destiny are, from natures
point Of view, failures, says the North
American Review. It is not question
OF personal felicity (which in eight
cases out Of ten may be more than
problematic), but of race responsibility.
The unmarried man is sku1ker, who,
in order to secure his own ease, dooms
some woman who has a rightful claim
upon him to celibacy. And in so doing
he defrauds himself of the opportu-
mites for mental and moral develop
ment which only the normal experience
can provide. He deliberately stunts
the stature Of his manhood, Empower
ishes his heart and brain, and chokes
up all the sweetest potentialities of his
soul. To himself he is apt to appear
like the wise fox that detects the trap,
though 1t be ever so cunningly baited;
that refuses to surrender his liberty for
the sake of an appetizing chicken or
rabbit, which may after all be decoy,
stuffed with sawdust; while as matter
OF fact his case is that OF the cowardly
servant in the parable, who, for fear of
losing his talent, hid it in napkin, and
in the end was deemed unworthy of
his stewardship.

LOSS AND GAIN.

1t was early in July when Philip
began the campaign of restoration. He
made up his mind in the beginning
that it was to be a race with death,
and, believing this, he did not spare
himself, though the heat during the
weeks that followed was terrific. It
was a dry summer, and in a drought
the climate of the Chiwassee valley is,
to say the least, something less than
invigorating. For the first fortnight
Philip went about with the feeling that
the next day would finish him. Then.
as the barriers hedging him on the
side toward accomplishment grew into
respectable mountains of difficulty,
winged spirit of energy, which was,
perhaps, only an unused heritage from
his Woodworking father, began to pos
sess him, breaking the bonds of habit
and lifting him out of the rut of in
trospection. One morning he forgot
to count his pulse, and the daily analy ;.
sis of his symptoms was omitted for
the first time in weeks; and that night
he slept with open windows, through
which the cool breeze from the noun
tain blew across the bed, and no harm
came of it. He was too busy to think
much about his infirmity at the time,
but a week later he stepped upon the
patent weighing-machine in the ro-
tunda of the Johannesburg, and when
the pointer failed to record the usual
decrease he went to his room AMI
dropped the half-used bottle of hypo-
rhosphites into the CRATE. That was
the turning of the tide, and by the
time his fellow-migrants in the exotic
oaty were beginning to wilt under the
fervid summer sun, Philip was growing
stronger in body and saner in mind;
finding certain tonic in series of de.
feats which were sharp enough to stim-
ulate without being heavy enough to
crush.
And while he wrestled with the diff
hculties of the legal problem, the fire
burned within him, consuming some
rubbish and shedding new light into
