The liquor deputies a few days ago applied to the court for warrants to search the person of man whom they had reason to believe wao pursuing the avocation of a pocket peddler.

 Although the Philippine commission
 enacted a provision last January mak- ing it lawful for the priest or minister
 of church to teach religion in the pub | lie schools at stated times to pupils whose parents or guardians asked for such instruction, it is announced by the
 commission that thus far not one such | reque:t has been made. The American
 authorities are at loss to understand
 this, especially in view of the fact that
 large majority of the Filipinos are | Catholics. and. therefore. presumably

 1 And now tle kite has been uoed for fishing. The credit of discovering the
 possibilities of airline fishing is due to
 Edward Horsman, the great kite expert
 and manufacturer. The advantage of | nSnlnB rom a Kite IS that the nSner-
 man may stand on shore whilst his bait
 is dropped far out at sea; also that tim
 id fi:.h are not saarred by seing fishing
 rods or boats when the airline is used.
 For kite fishing strong kites are flown,
 the string carrying a small pulley
 through which the fish line runs. One
 end of the fish line is held by the fisher
 man on shore. the ether, which is
 weighted. drops from the pulley as the
 assent is made, and dips into the sea.
 At the moment when a fish snaps at
 the bait and is hooked the fisherman
 feels the pull on his line, the kite is
 quickly hauled in. and the fish is drag
 ged in at the same time. MT Horsman
 has caught many fine sea fish in this
 way.
