Fishing an Art in China.

Nowhere in the world is the art of
fishing so highly developed as in Chi
ma. Rivers. creeks, stagnant pools,
the great ocean, and the little tank,
lakes and garden ponds, all furnish
their quota to the sustenance of man.
Even rice grounds are turned into fish
ponds in winter. The inhabitants of
the waters are killed with the spear,
caught with the hook, scraped up by
the dredge and captured by nets. They
are even dived for by birds trained for
the purpose. Eels are fed in tubs and
jars until customers carry them of

HOW TO BE HAPPY.
Make Note of Only the Cheerful Things
in Life.

Happy is the man who forms. early
in life Cor if not early, then late), the
habit of taking all the light and
warmth and cheer he can get with a
fine glow of appreciation, looking,
meanwhile, somewhat sideway at those
opposite experiences he cannot escape.
Let him squint a little or look the
other way. He will be happier man,
as well as more popular, writes Daniel
Gregory Mason in Scribner's Maya
zine, than the self-appointed DEVIL
advocate who sedulously notes the
mugginess of the weather, the feeble
ness of his pulse. or the fact that he
is tired" (Which, God help us, we are
all-until we get rested). He will be
a happier man, moreover, for two rea
sons and by virtue of two distinct
forces that his act of attention en-
lists in his behalf, IN the first place,
by removing the constant irritation to
his mere body his viscera and nerves
and muscles, that has resulted from his
morbid attention. he leaves clear
stage for the benign action of the ten
dency to health A mans body is not
the normal object of his attention.
Just as the normal focus of a sense
organ is an external object (of the eye,
a sight; of the ear. sound), so the
normal focus of the mind as whole
is the breathing, colored world out
side itself, and particularly the absorb
ing world of other people. The very
insidiousness of sickness is that it
tends to seclude the mind from this
wholesome outlook, and concentrate it
upon inner sensations. The process,
once begun, proceeds apace, and soon
the healthy activity of the body is still
further deranged by the meddling at
tention, precisely as clearness of exc
cution on the piano, for example, is
deranged by particularized notice Of
lingering or other mechanical pro-
cesses that should be automatic. Con-
scious thought always bungles the DEL
icate acts properly cared by the sub
conscious mind. The remedy is in
both cases to direct the attention else

AGED PERSONS.
Lives That Stretched Over Longer Terms
Than Seventy Years.

Than Seventy Years.
A generation Is commonly reckoned
as thirty-three and one-third years,
but sometimes two or three lives will
stretch over several ordinary genera
tions A grandmother of c. J. Monk,
q member of parliament, was born 1853
years ago, that is, in 1747, the year
after the battle of Culloden. and the
very year in which Garrick and Lacey
took lease of DIury Lane theater.
Gen. Francis Vinton Greenes grand
father was born 12S years ago, when
Napoleon was baby entering upon
his third year, and Sir Walter Scott
was entering upon his second He
was a year old when Watt built his
steam engine and the tea was thrown
overheard in Boston Harbor. The
generals father, Gen. George Sears
Greene died last year at an advanced
age. Therefore the lives of General
George Sears Greene and his father
Caleb extended for an interval of 127
years nearly four ordinary generations.
A relative of the general, Mary Ann
Greene of Rhode Island. died a few
years ago at the age OF 105, having in
her single life bridged more than three
generations. Sir Stephen Fox, grand
father of Charles James Fox, the dis
tinguished statesman was married in
1854, and in the following year his
wife bore him a daughter, who died in
infancy Sir Stephen marrying a Sec
ond time late in life, another daughter
was born to him in 1927. She died in
1920 at the age of SO years, no fewer
than 10 years after the death of her
elder sister! In other words, lady
who might have seen Queen Victoria
had sister whom oliver Cromwell
might have looked upon! The fact
that seventy-two years elapsed be-
tween the birth of Sir Stephens first
and last daughter proves that he must
have been married very early for the
first time, and that he became a father
for the last time remarkably late in
life. Indeed, perhaps, this is the most
wonderful part of the story. The
grandfather of the present British Sec
rotary of state for war, the old Marquis
of Landsdowne, who died in 1857 at the
age of 80 years, told Lord John Russell
(who relates the incident in his life of
the poet Moore), that he was intimate
with Sir Henry Baytun, who knew the
before mentioned Sir Stephen Fox. AS
Sir Stephen was the page in attendance
on Charles |. when he was executed in
1919, the three lives named-FoX,

a period considerably over two CEN

A TAXPAYERS VIEW.

Mr.. Editor: l have read the dis
cussion In your columns on the sub
ject of fire insurance, and with your
permission, / desire to give my ex-
perience as a property owner and
former resident in a state where there
Is law prohibiting fire insurance
companies to combine to charge GER
tain rates.
When this bill was before our leg
islature l championed 1t, but after
ward saw it was folly and tended to
raise rates.
A rate on a building or stock Is
made scientifically. The fire insur-
ance companies see what the profit
or loss has been on a certain kind OF
property for several years. They
then fix rate on standard building
and charge an addition for those that
are not up to the standard, thus en-
couraging good construction These
rates are given agents. and when
man improves his property his rate
is decreased.
If laws are passed to prohibit COM
panies from using these rates, invari-
ably they stick to the old rates and
when man improves his property he
gets no advantage in his rate.
These laws therefore keep rates up
and companies can not pool their ex-
perience to see If they can be reduced.
Since 1893, rates in all states in
this country having no anti-compact
laws have materially declined. The
average rate in these states for twelve
years has been Sill on every 500, or
eleven points lower than 1898.
The average rate in states having
laws preventing combinations or
rates for the same period is $1.27 or
one point lower than 1893. In the last
seven years rates of fire insurance
have been lowered 17.2 per cent while
in anti-compact states they have been
lowered only rs per cent.
In Kansas, for example, which has
an anti-compact law, the average rate
for fifteen years is s1.35. In states
having no such law it Is $1.07 for the
same time. The average rate in Kan
sas since 1893 is $132 in states hay
ing no anti-compact fire insurance
law, Sill.
States passing such laws, and there
are sixteen, hoped to force companies
to reduce rates, but it will be seen
such was not the result. These fig
ures are taken from the state insur-
ance departments.
These anti-compact states like Kan
sas have not participated in the bene-
fit of reduced rates because the COM
panies were not allowed to combine
and see If the results warranted de-
crease. Kansas today does not know
whether its rates are correct simply
because the companies cannot figure
out their combined experience.
Knowing that to abandon rates Is
to invite disaster, companies will stick
to the old rates, therefore anti-com-
pact law states get no benefit at all OF
new rates, based upon standards that
give reductions.
for one see that these laws are
failures and should be repealed.
