houses to pass upon Sanborn & Berry
mans new version of the statutes was

after the legislature had adjourned.

consideration should be given the mat
ter and advised against hasty action
Mr.. Flett explained that it was the
intention TO have this special commit
Toe do most of its work at the end of

journed for Sunday and then just be-
fore final adjournment at the end Of

Worth Saving.

The people of Belgium evidently be-
lieve in training their children in hab-
it's of economy. Possibly no better
method of convincing the young folks
of the wisdom Of looking after small
things could have been found than that
resorted to in the public schools Of
Brussels. The Outlook gives the result
Of the experiment.:
Some time ago the children were re-
quested by their teachers to gather up
all the waste and apparently useless ar
ticles that they could find on their way
to and from school and to deliver them
to their respective teachers.
For eight months the work of collec-
tion went on. Such objects as tin foil,
tin cans, paint tubes, bottle capsules
and refuse metal were especially looked
after. The result was astonishing.
Nineteen hundred and twenty Eve
pounds of tin foil rewarded the chill
dren's efforts. together with 1900
pounds of metal scraps, 4. 400 pounds Of
bottle capsules and old paint tubes that
in the aggregate weighed 220 pounds.
But it was when the articles were
disposed Of and the money applied to
useful objects that the full force Of this
economy was manifest. The proceeds
completely clothed 500 poor children
and sent 90 invalid children to re-
cuperation colonies. and there was n
goodly balance left to be distributed
among the sick poor Of the city.

HIS NAME NOT ON THE LIST

So, by Customs Law, This Steamship Pas
senger Was Not Passenger.
A passenger ON one Of the transatlantic
steamers that arrived here recently
stepped into the line Of people who
were making their declarations before
the customs officer and told his name.
Cant take your declaration, the
officer said after examining the passen-
ger list. II don't see your name there I"
"But I got my ticket on Friday
night" the passenger responded. "and
the time was too short to have allowed
of my name being put on the list"
"That makes no difference" an
swered the inspector. "Unless your
name is ON the list you are not pas
senger, and cannot take your declara-
tion. Nobody not ON the list can be re-
garded as passenger.
The New Yorker said few things,
thought good many more and dropped
out Of the line. Then he went In search
of the captain. The captain came up
and wrote the passengers name on the
inspector q list and the declaration was
duly taken. After this formality had
been finished the passenger asked the
inspector his reason for refusing to take
his declaration in the first place. To
this question he added the remark that
ON number of trips to Europe he had
left at such short notice that his name
had not got ON the passenger list, but
he had never had any such experience
with the English inspector.
~ don't know anything about that, "
the official replied, "but the rule in
the United States is that unless a mans
name is on the passenger list he is not
officially regarded as passenger and
we cannot recognize him as such until
his name appears there. You were all
right as soon as the captain wrote your
name, but until then you had no stand
ing as a passenger. New York Sun.

each time Renshanus failed to appear.
Riddle was again arrested, and this
