4 GOOD EA IT'.

Occasionally a good law gets through legislature if it is of such a nature that it will not pay anybody to defeat it. For instance, the law signed yester- day by Governor Roosevelt of New York which amends the penal code so as to make it a misdemeanor to publish, or cause to be published, or connive at the publication of any letter, telegram or private paper or any portion thereof, found on or among the effects of any person dangerously wounded or who has committed suicide or died suddenly or who has been found dead The only time such publication shall be justfia- ble is when the coroner declares in writ ing that it is necessary to aid in the discovery of crime, or in the identifi- cation of the wounded or deceased per- son.
 The only people whose feelings this law will hurt are the publishers of sen- sational newspapers and those who like to know all the sad and bad things they can. There will be many cases in which it will be very useful law

LORD R0RERTS' NEW NET.

Those interested in the situation in South Africa can read this morning that Lord Roberts has now spread a net with forty thousand or more men ing the whole western semi-clrcle around Wepener. They can also read that Eff the Boers are as well informed of the British plans as they have hith- erto been they are likely again to es- cape" And in a few days perhaps they can read that the Boers have again es- capped. The Boers have shown them selves to be great escapers.

ONE TOR JAPAN.

Those Yankees of the East the Jap-
 anese, have succeeded in teaching the Russian Bear something about fishing.
 One of the many vexatious questions
 that in relation to the fisheries in Sag
 halien waters. The Japanese have been
 pursuing this industry, unobstructed,
 for forty years, and have been very successful at it, much more so than the
 Russians. Their fishing stations in
 those waters number 250 or more, and five thousand men are employed. AL
 though practically trespassers, they have been allowed to fish for so many years without interference that they had come to believe that they had as much right to do so as the Russians themselves. A year ago the Russian governor of the district issued regula- tions giving Russian subjects preference in the matter of fishing privileges, but as these aiu not seem to interfere with vested interests, not much attention was paid to them. Recently, however, new rules were promulgated giving Russian subjects priority in all conditions, al- ways and everywhere, and the Japanese found themselves deprived suddenly of the fruits of their enterprise. An ap- peal was made to the Japanese Foreign Office, which, of course, was powerless to act in the absence of any conven- tion, more particularly when every side. The Japanese legislature, how ever, was not so helpless, and both

Hints of New BcIts.

Belts are becoming complicated. 4 shaped affair of silk crepe de chine with
 long fringed streamers, like the one shown inconspcuously in shis picture, IS to be classed as inelaborate. The newer ribbon belts quite outdo it in fancifulness One ribbon sort is won- derful. It is shaped, Is reinforced by cordings of featherbone till it clasps the waist with almost the security of cor set, and so molds into the waist line that there is no danger of the belt rid ing up or slipping from the skirt band. Belts usually are little wider in the back than the front, and they all bring the waist line down couple of inches lower than ths normal. This and the

 Your stylish woman is wearing some sort of chain about the neck and the
 old time locket and chain is again in fashion. These are worn with tailor suits. The chain should allow the lock- ct to hang about at the bust, and the locket is not at all the same as the or nament that may hang at the end of a knee chain. A knee chain may pass twice about the neck before it falls to the knee. Women Of full figure should not wear these long chains, for the ap- pearance of rope of pearls swinging in the air a half yard or so from the knees is not good. The woman with pretty hand and wrist may display the beauty of a pretty chain by slipping the links between her fingers, but she who has an ugly, restless hand and gaudy chain is likely to flutter' it till oKe is tired of her.

Indianas law to encourage the plant ing of trees, which practically exempts from taxation every acre of ground up- on which ITO trees are standing, has proved very popular, and very large number of people have availed them selves of it's privileges. Under this law 8 description of the land must be filed with the county auditor for record, and an examination must be made by him before appraisal. No horses, cattle, sheep or goats may be pastured until the trees are four inches in diameter. Much interest is shown by the farmers, as many of them IS twenty-eight in one county taking advantage of the law. The reservations are from three to eighty acres The benefit of the law cannot be claimed until the trees are three years old, but the ultimate advan- tage to landowners has caused the law to be regarded with favor by them.

Irishmen are not apt to lose their presence of mind. It Is related that in one of the recent scrimmages before Ladysmith, in the direction of Pot gieters, various sections of infantry had been slapping away for some time at the Boer trenches, when it was de- cided to send forward a detachment of Dundonalds cavalry to try and head off a band of moving Boers. As the horse men galloped past the infantrymen one lost his seat. The fallen rider--an Irishman--pulled himself together and chased his mount.

Tests made on the South London electric railroad show that the tractive resistance per ton of train measured at the draw-bar at the moment of start ing is forty pounds, and this falls to ten pounds as soon as speed of six miles per hour is attained. Between six and thirteen miles per hour the re- sistance remains almost constant, while above that speed it seems to rise al- most approximately until a speed of twenty-six miles per hour is reached. when the resistance is about twenty one pounds per ton.
