worthy cause. William Kridor, flag
man, deserves a niche Of his own In

men are kept green in memory. 1t was

which was not Needed. He saw that
she would probably be struck by the

Rnpid Fruft .Sfem Chpper,

In sections Of the country where
large crops of fruit are harvested every
year It is a tiresome task TO pull each
individual apple, pear or peach from
the tree with the hands, and yet this
is necessary in order to preserve the
fruit to the best advantage. As an aid
in accomplishing this work, a Calffor-
MIA man has designed the fruit clipper
which is illustrated herewith. 1t COM
prises pair OF blades pivoted togeth-
er at one end and provided with rings
to attach the clipper to the thumb and
forefnger. A slight pressure with the
thumb and finger is sufficient to close
the knives and sever the stem. 1t
will be noticed that the clipper allows
the use of the hand to catch the fruit
the moment the stem is severed, thus
enabling it to be gathered rapidly
with one hand, while the other is used

a Gaze of Decentralization

complaint was made to the Inter
state Commerce commission by bust
ness men of Danville, Va, that the
freight rates on the Southern railway
were too high. The commission, after
taking evidence, decided against the
railroad company and ordered a re-
duction in rates. The road recently
asked for a rehearing on the ground
that obedience to the decision would
involve a loss of s433, 900 year, a sum
the company alleged it could not af-
ford to lose, considering that in 1899
no dividend was paid on its common
stock of $120 900.
The commission was not moved by
this argument. 1t is said that the
common stock was issued as a part OF
the scheme of reorganization of the
road, and that "it does not rest In the
within of a reorganization committee
in Wall street to impose tax upor
that whole southern country" So tn
rehearing was refused.

The Art of Good Manners.

Just why so many good men and
women who have been the means Of
loading the modern curriculum with SO
many useless things never thought OF
or undertook to inject this lost art into
modern school life is strange and hard
to understand. Thirty years ago
children were taught to be polite In
school and out of it, and when one
notes a gray haired man arising in a
street car to give his seat to woman,
while a great hulking boy remains
seated, he recalls the early teachings
OF long ago and is thankful for them.

PARLIAMENT OF sARK.
Chefs Plaids Is q House OF Hereditary
Legislators.

The other day attended the open
Ing OF the. as yet. unreformed Parlia-
ment of Sark, says a writer in the
London Daily Mail. There is but one
house, and 1t is called the Chefs Plaids.
So far so good, for believe every sane
political reformer agrees that the mod
ell state should have one legislative
body only. But alas, this single house
Is exclusively house OF landlords, ex-
clusiyely house Of hereditary legis-
lators. The people Of the island are
not allowed to elect their representa-
tives. Land alone is represented; not
wealth, nor intellect, nor the thing
masses, nor the submerged tenth. And
the land is represented in peculiar
way. When the island, then uninhab-
TIED, was granted in 1865 by Queen
Elizabeth to Heller de Carteret, Lord
OF st. Ouen In Jersey, it was stipulated
that he should coloniZe it and should
grant parts of it to 40 of his retain
ers or followers as copyholders or GUS
tomary tenants under him. It was also
stipulated that these tenants, though
they might ALLEVIATE their holdings
upon payment to the lord OF a thir-
teenth Of the value, might on no ac-
count subdivide them. Thus there are
still in the island the original 40 es-
tates, and the holder of each estate &C.
cupies with regard to the seigneur, or
lord, almost exactly the same posi-
ton as "leude" or baron occupied
in the old feudal days of Normandy
with regard to the sovereign. The ex-
listing Parliament Of Sark is, in effect,
the assemble des leudes ct barons"
OF the island. The law OF strict primo
geniture obtains, and there would be
today 40 hereditary members Of the
Chefs Plaids but for two circum-
stances. One is that If tenant hap
pens to be a woman she does not sit,
though she may vote in the house by
proxy. The other is that, in the course
Of years, certain Of the members, by
inheritance or purchase, have acquired
more than one estate. There are now,
therefore not more than about 80 ac-
tual sitting members of the Chefs
Plaids. They representa- they can
be said to representa- population OF
some $40 souls and an extent Of about
| 1875 acres.

Concerning DukeS. EarES and
COUNT

The telegraph thrills and trembles
with the startling information that the
duke of Manchester has poached eggs
for breakfast on Monday morning,
and that this evening he expects to go
to a vaudeville entertainment. Under
the ocean and across the continent
comes word that the Count de Castel-
lane hardly sees how he can get along
on an allowance of s250,000 a month.
The Press is stopped to announce that
the Earl OF Yarmouth is real mad"
at his Grace of Manchester, who re-
fused to shake hands with him at
dress rehearsal of cake walk. Do
the newspapers mistake the temper
of their clientage, or is ii true today as
in the time Of John c. SAKE that the
people OF the great republic edo dearly
love a Lord? Neither Manchester nor
Yarmouth he's any claim on public at
tention outside OF the accidental cir
cumstanee that both of them have in
herited titles. one is playing a small
part in a vaudeville company; the
other has married a rich American
girl. Neither has ever shown any
ability except in the direction Of
squandering money. II Is doubtful
whether either would be worth more
than casual mention in the newspapers
OF his native land The interest shown
in this country in cast-off noblemen is

The Life-%aVrnS Ser1fce.

The annual report of the Federal
Life Saving Service is one that is read
by few and cuts little figure among
the department publications, and yet
it deserves to be widely read as a rec

who patrol our ocean and lake coasts
to save life and property During the
last fiscal year 700 shipwrecked per-
sons have received help at the sta

were lost. To accomplish these results

The album habit is so strong and its
expressions are so varied that little
wonder ought to be felt at an account
OF an album in which a young woman
has placed a piece of each gown she
has bought, and has noted on the page
the date of purchase and the time
when the garment was last worn. The
price also is attached, both as an en-
couragement and a warning, 1t is to be
supposed. An observer of the other
sex might suggest an enlargement of
the album pages so as to include a
summary of the miles travelled in Sc
lecting the dresses. There might be
added an estimate of the total of re-
grets that other patterns were not pre-
ferred or different fashionings or
dered. No one, of course, would cloud
the pages with surmises as to the ag.
gregate of signs of envy or whispers OF
criticism which each dress called into
being.

doubtedly believed that the republic
would also become defunct, but he did
not count upon the enduring qualities
OF the foundation upon which the re-
public was built. The Englishman was
not alone in thus voicing the cry Of
vanity against Gen. Washington, but
II was noticeable that few of the dis

life at that day joined in this assault.
On the contrary, they appear to have
heartily approved of the action OF the
commissioners and were glad that the

be perpetuated by a city which would
forever remain a monument to the
service which he had performed for his
country.
The .SLxfb Congress-.
When congress began its sessions

the capitol anything but an inspiring
spectacle. Only the northernmost of
the old wings was finished, and that

chamber was mostly of wood and
plaster. The rotunda had not been
built, though It's foundations had been
previously laid Across this founda-
ton was constructed a platform, al

was covered with rough pine boards,

Spectators Not Aware of the scheme

Sir Thomas Upton is reported to
have cleared S350,000 by a pork deal
In Chicago. 1t has also been said that
Upton had so firm hold on Chicago
pork that he might have doubled his
winnings had he been so minded. The
Chicago pork spectators are puzzled
to know how the thing was done.
They had supposed themselves to know
a thing or two about the pork mar
ket, and yet they let this stranger beat
them out OF $350,000. This stranger
made a corner in October pork, which
raised the price from 81 to $40 bar
rel. While this operation was going
on there was plenty of pork in the
country. The pork spectators whose
business it was to know where and at
what figure pork was held did not sus-
pect what was going on until they
were called upon to fill their contracts
at Mr.. Lipton's own price. This pork
operation may inspire doubt in the
minds of yachtsrhen if Mr.. Liptons
expressed determination to carry the
Americas cup back with him, If he
can do so by fair means, may mean

right is that no modification of an au-
thor's work shall be made without his
consent. Is not this principle morally
binding after an authors death? The
rapid multiplication of denominational
hymn-books has led compilers so ma

they often express opposite tenets from
those the author held. 1t is a serious
