LOBSTERS RISE IN PRICE.
Those Who Are Fond of the Crus-
taceans VIII Have to Pay More
for Them This Year.

"This year people who are fond OF
eating Holsters will have to pay dearly
for the privilege of indulging their ap

are that further advance of from five
to ten cents pound may soon be looked
for.
Ten years ago almost any quantity
of fine Holsters could have been pur.
chased in New York at the rate of five
cents pound. The average size of live
Holsters that then came to market wa.
20 inches long, not counting claws. The
largest average now is not more thar
half that length. There used to bt

days.
THE present dearth Of Holsters il
New England waters is largely due tc
the enormous number of undersized
ones that have in the past been caught
and sold for canning purposes in Maine
Millions of small shellfish that SHOULD
have been allowed to develop and brecc
were thus annually exterminated, anC
the result has been that the supply OF
eatable Holsters has dwindled from &c.,
100000 in 1889 to probably less thar
100000 in 1899.

state. The Gamers do not find it profit
able to buy Holsters at the present high
rate, and they cannot purchase short
ones or shellfish weighing less than ter

For the last four years energetic ef.
forts have been made by the United
States fish commission to restore lob.
sters to their former abundance by
planting millions of lobster fry from
Fishers Island sound east along the
coast as far rs Maine. Meantime tho
chief supply Of live Holsters comes from
the British provinces. The shellfst
are shipped here in steamers especially
fitted with wells that have capacity
for holding from $4,000 to 10000 live
Holsters. These steamers touch at Bos
ton and New York, and from these two
cities the lobsters are shipped by whole
sale dealers all over the United States

FAMOUS IN SPORTS.

There is always good fishing at the
duke of Richmond's place, Gordon cas-
tie, and Lady Caroline Gordon Lenox,
who acts as hostess for her brother, is
quite an expert with the rod.
Lord Carnarvon is good shot, and
recently he gave party for the prince
of Wales, at which 10,S00 birds were
slaughtered in three days with only six
hunters-6OO birds day to each gun.
The Bradley Martins have one of the
finest shooting estates in Scotland and
their shooting parties are always eager
ly attended. Their daughter, Lady
Craven, and her husband stay with
them during the season.
There is no one who can compete with
Lord de Grey of England as sports
man. Once in Ireland, when shooting,
he brought down is wild geese with
two-barreled gun, and in one year was
responsible for the death of $4,000
birds.
There has been some record deer
shooting in Scotland. Atholl forest is
supposed to contain about $4,000 head
of red deer, and when the prince and
princess of Wales visited there in 1872
no fewer than 5000 deer were driven,
before them.

Destruction of Niagara Falls.

The announcement that a ledge of
-ock has fallen, making Niagara falls
once more "U"- shaped cataract, marks
another step in the process which,
sooner or later, will result, it is pre-
]icted, in the total destruction of the
falls. The terrific force of the water,
falling over n precipice $50 feet high,
gradually wears away the soft lime
stone underlying the harder strata over
which it runs, so that year by year
he top of the falls recedes. In the
ast so years some parts Of the falls
have receded $50 feet. In 1850 the
famous Table Rock, which had been
feature of the falls for years, was
obliterated. Al the present rate of
progress it will be hundreds of years
before the great falls will be degraded
to the level OF an ordinary riffle.-Chi-

Feudalism In Hungary.

Inconceivable as the anachronism
may seem to the western mind, the
agrarian system of Hungary has not
yet issued from the feudal form. The
Hungarian farmer of to-day is virtually
a serf, bound to his master, the heredi-
tary owner of the soil which the peas
ant tills, by the tangible tie of personal
liability. The Hungarian feudal lord
of to-day is entitled to so days labor
from each male adult who dwells on
his land. The seignior is at liberty to
demand this feudal contribution at
whatever time may seem best to him,
with the frequent result that the tenant
farmer is employed in gathering his
masters harvests while his own crops
are rotting after rainfall or are being
consumed by an early frost or suffer
damage from one or more of the many
possible causes which render destruc-
tive the slightest delay on the part of
the harvester in gathering the fruits
of a years labor.-S. Ivan Tonjoroff, in
