Fishing for Lost Anchors.

Perhaps one of the oldest occupations,
which, by the way. could not by any pos:
sibility be associated with the theatrical
profession, save by inference. is fishing
for lost anchors. II the anchors were
only anchori4es-but that is another
story and also has nothing to do With
the subject under discussion, says New
York paper.
There are in and around the city at
least a half dozen sloops and schooners
engaged in the profitable occupation OF
anchor hunting. The captains and crews
are perfectly familiar with the ground
where anchors are likely to be found IN
the bays and rivers along the coast.
The methods pursued are simple. but
effective. A chain is let down In a loop
long enough to drag along the bottom.
The boat sails along and the entire crew
IA on the lookout for bite" Suddenly
there is a tug at the chain. and the ex-
element is almost as great as when a
whaling boat harpoons leviathan of the
deep. The recovered anchor Is hauled
aboard amid general rejoicing.
A ready market is found for this treas
ure trove and the price obtained is 6
cents a pound. AS big anchor weighs
from 5000 to 5000 pounds. the anchor
angler makes gross profit of $500 to $3.50.

They are certainly In better position
to Judge In this matter than any west

rs no other nation does, II the court
does not return II probably means that
no general reforms will be undertaken,

A SOUTHERN VIEW or LySCnISG,
New Orleans states.

Lynching Is becoming altogether too
common all over the country, and 1t Is
the solemn duty Of the courts to so ad
minister justice. as 10 leave no excuse
for resort to mob law. Light sentences.
IN cases such as We have cited above,
are calculated TO make the people losr
patience with their courts and judges
and take the law into their own hands
when the situation is serious. With the
highest respect for the members Of the
criminal bench Of New Orleans. la
whose integrity and ability the States
has most implicit confidence. II would
suggest that heavier sentences in cases
Of the nature discussed, viii better pro
tect society give greater strength ana
efficiency to the courts and avert any
disposition on the part Of the publt
to resort TO mob law. Confidence In the
indeXible justice Of the courts is the
greatest guarantee OF social order
while lack Of confidence will inevitably
breed all sorts of disorders and crime.

EMPLOYMENT OF KArfIRs,
New York Evening Post.


II was not a noble figure which Mr.
Chamberlain presented In the hous,
OF commons yesterday, explaining as he
did In the name OF the government OF
imperial Britain that he had 100000 sol
diers in South Africa now engaged In
handwriting. and that he was even
arming KafIirs against the Beers. He
asserted that there was no understand
ing whatever that England would no,
employ black troops against the burgh
ers. No understanding, perhaps, but MI.
Balfour distinctly asserted for the gov
eminent, at the beginning OF the war,
that the thing would not be done. Sure
~, Mr.. Chamberlain cannot have for
gotten that, or John Morley's grim con-
gratulatlons Of the cabinet on havlns
determined to use only Christians in
killing Christians.

DECREASING BIRrH RATE.

We are so accustomed TO comments
on the low blrthrate in France that 1t
is almost startling 10 hear the state
ment made by The Medical News that
the average number OF children TO the
marriages In the United States Is but
two. And It seems the birthrate has
been steadily decreasing during the
past years A century ago, II Is claimed,
the sterilty Of the American woman
was but two per cent, while today II Is
twenty. Then the average number Of
children TO tie marriage was six, while
now It Is but two,
This should be compared with the
conditions In Europe The average
number Of children to each family Is
given as follows; France, $685. Switz-
erland 3.9i; Austria and Belgium 4O5.
England 4OS Germany 40. Holland
i22, Scotland 4.4G. Italy 4.56, Spain Les.
Russia 4.S3. Ireland IL highest with
an average Of $40 children in each
family.
That is to say, this country is behind
even France IN this matter, while Ire
land today is very near the standard
OF the United States a hundred years
ago,
The Medical News points out that
physicians are much more concerned
about this problem than appears at
first sight There is a tendency that

clan ito advise too readily against ma
ternity and its attendant cares" II this
is correct, some OF the responsibility
for the state Of affairs complained Of.
must be laid on such medical advisers.
and the reform should be started with
them. They should be taught that
violations Of natural laws always
bring disaster.
But, after all the problem Is chiefly
a moral one To the decline OF morals
must be attributed the decline of the
family. The remedy is a return to the
moral standards Of previous genera
lions The home, the school, the
church and the press, all have a special
work to perform in the direction OF the
riyival OF public morality on the only
sure basis that exists. And unless this
work Is taken in hand before 1t Is too
late. there Is nothing to prevent our
civilization from sinking TO the point
where dissolution is inevitable. Other
civilizations have disappeared when
their beams ana braces became rotten

The multiplication of religions Is
one OF the distinguishing marks OF our

unsettled as to what to believe, and
how to worship. There is no unity.
Religion and art, science and ethics are
at variance The masses are easily
swayed to and fro by the ever chang

for all that there is progress toward
truth and light. Out OF chaos new
