 It is evident that Consul Hill has lent or given away all the money he wants to, but that doesn't detract from the wisdom of his advice. A traveller with out money in his pocket isn't very com fortable anywhere, even if he knows that he can get money in the course of time.

SAD ABOUT SHID.

i It Is painful to read that the United States Fish commission has had a poor shad season. for the commission is en- gagged in the noble and useful work of helping the rest of us to have good shad seasons, and good shad seasons are highly desirable. The commission has, 1t appears, been able to get only 2S7, 900 shad eggs this season, while last year it got 326 945, ,00O For some reason or other the fishing grounds that usually are the most prolific in yield of shad eggs were this year rather Jersey, station was the only one of the northern depots to report good take, Eatonton, North Carolina, being the other station to increase its take over last years figures. The Ffshhawk spent most of its time this season in the vicinity of Gloucester, and secured a total of 115O33OOO eggs against S0,- 509,000 for 1900 At Eatonton, North Carolina, the commission representa- tives captured 75,000.000 eggs, a gain of 65,000,000 over last years record. The Havre de Gras station, covering the waters of the Susquehanna river and upper Chesapeake bay, secured 640OO,- 900 eggs, and the Potomac furnished ss,ooO'ooo. The goverpment has hatch cries at each of the stations above named, and as fast as the eggs were taken they were transferred to the automatic matching jars. A total of about 25O,ooO,oOO young were matched and shipped to various parts of the country for planting in waters that lead to the Atlantic Liberal shipments were made to the Hudson river, S,000,000 small fry being sent to Albany.
 Better luck to the Commission next season and good luck to the young shad until they get big enough to eat It will be a sad time when the shad seasons are permanently bad May that time be late in coming.

Not hence, o Earth. the saddest tears we
 weep That we are puny creatures of thy crust, And swift revert to our parental dust Which breeds from cen the ashes of our

 unjust; Not from our pain the deepest tears up

GOOD COUNSEL TO TRATEHLERs.


 United States Consul Hill, at Amster- dam, has had trouble with some of his impecunious countrymen, and he tries to prevent more of the same kind by calling the attention of American trav- ellers to the danger of going abroad without providing themselves with suitable letters of credit or ready funds He says that nearly all the American consuls in Europe have had the same trouble that he has, being constantly asked to supply funds for American travellers who are waiting for remit tances from home. Consul Hill advises that tourists should provide themselves with at least a third more money than is included in their most liberal esti- mates, He says this is particularly necessary in the Netherlands. He does not think any part of Europe is partic- ularly cheap to inexperienced tourists who have American ideas of comfort while the Netherlands is notoriously dear. The Dutch cannot understand how people could start off on a long journey in a hurry, planning to have their money sent to them from home, after they are on the way. For this reason they look with suspicion on anyone who is out of funds, and claims to be waiting for remittances from the United States. He also warns travel lers that there is Imprisonment for debt cult to be released when one gets into

pr. c. M Kober of Washington tells us why certain diseases that are pre- ventible are not prevented. He says that the failure is due to the neglect cautions the need of which was known to, and recommended by, all sanita- rians The facts, he says, that these recommendations have not been gener- ally adopted, because the knowledge gained by experimental medicine is not sufficiently diffrsed. Nor are we re- sponsible for the fact that SO many of our States still permit every charlatan to practice one of the most difficult and responsible of all professions without uniform and rigid system of examina- ton. However, we owe it to ourselves and to humanity to take positive steps in behalf of higher medical education and laws regulating the practice of existence of irregular and incompetent practitioners, so long will the public be deceived and we will be obliged to com pete with incompetent men, and so long as we tolerate the exnonents of so-called Christian Science, osteopathy and other quacks, infectious diseases will be spread as the result of ignor- ance and neglect.''

There's always something remarka- ble in Kansas, Just now 1t is in Elm poria Within the past two years there have been ten suicides, and a number of attempts, and the town is thorough ly alarmed The suicide epidemic corn- menced with the death of Charles Cross, followed by that of Governor Eskrldge, and but two causes appear to have been at work-love and financial em- barrassment. Of the ten suicides seven were women, and each of these is supposed to have had love affair. Within the past few weeks there have been two suicides by girls, and no less than four attempts, and 1t is believed that a morbid condition was produced in the minds of these girls by the pub lished accounts of the first one. So the newspaper men of the town have agreed with the mayor not to publish any more accounts of suicides in Em- poria, and it is hoped that this will put a stop to what has become a veritabe epidemic.

The meaning of the word "humph" was the subject of judicial decision in the Irish Court of Appeals the other day Four judges of the Queens bench division, from which the appeal was taken, were unable to come to a unani- nous decision as to the meaning of the word. Justice Madden and Justice Boyd held that "humph" as used by Sir Walter Scott and Miss Austen in their novels, was an expression of dis sent, while the Lord Chief Justice and Justice Burton inclined to the conclu- sion that "humph" only meant dis satisfied condition of mind" The Court of Appeals has now decided that the word is 'an expression of doubt or dis satisfaction" or, as Lord Justice Walk CT put it, in the words of the Century Dictionary, "grunt of dissatisfac- tion"

For some time the London county council has been conducting experi- ments in the utilization of liquid fuel for fire engines. Tn 1899 steam fire engine was equipped with fittings nec- essary for liquid fuel consumption. This engine has been maintained at one of the busiest stations, and the chief engineer has reported that the fuel meets the requirements admirably in every respect. It is stated that probably all the fire engines of London will be fitted with this apparatus.

have been unsatisfactory to the South

The war had to go on to its natural

Slave Laws Of Georgia.

There are very few persons to-day, in
either the South or the North, who
have any sort of an idea about what
constituted a slave in the Southern
states They know in general way
owned by a white man and who could
be bought and sold But not one per
son in Thousand can tell you what
sort of laws were enacted that defined
exactly what constituted q slave in this
country.
The laws of Georgia before the war
between the states will give a correct
identity of slave. and / have quoted
here all the legislative enactments
which were IN force when the war
began
1t was high misdemeanor for any
person to conceal, hide. harbor or EN-

ing greater labor from such slave than
he or she is able to perform. or by not
affording proper clothing, whereby the
health of the slave may be injured OF
| impaired, or if the same is caused to
be done, the offender shall be fined and
imprisoned
Slaves are not allowed to sell any
cotton, tobacco, wheat, rye, oats, corn
or poultry, or any other commodity
except brooms, baskets, food and door
mats, shuck collars and such Other
articles as were vended by slaves fol-
their own use. To sell such articles
as were prohibited by the law the
slaves had to have written permission
from their owners. If persons bought
such articles unlawfully they wert
then amenable to the law.
| Heavy fines were imposed agains
any person who sold or gave liquor Il
slaves.
Slaves were NO. allowed in places

DIR. Green. after quoting these as
Judge Campbell's recollection of Presi-
dent Lincoln's words, referred to the
controversy as to whether they were
ever used:

clared the same thing. as Gen. Gordon

Campbell, then said:

their places in the Union on the sam,

Dr. Green then took up Judge Camp
bells account of the conferences dis
cussion OF slavery. and quoted him a
saying that President Lincoln s remarI

Finally, Mr.. Stehpens felt oblige,
to tell President Lincoln that unde,
their instructions they could not con.

Manslauqhter Expensive.

The Brooklyn Rapid Transit COM
pany asks public sympathy because it.
had to pay over a million dollars in
damage claims last year. and thereby
suffered in dividends.
1t is pathetic case.
But what about the million dollars
worth of people who were killed or
MANNED by the brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit carsf
IL it was hard for the company TO
pay for the lives and limbs it sacri-
feed, was it not also little hard for
the victims and their families TO sub
init to that sacrifcef
Does Mr.. Greatsinger imagine that
if at the beginning of the year he had
stood up in a row all the persons whom
(, his cars have since killed or injured,
and had offered them a million dollars
for the privilege of running over them,
the proposition would have been
enthusiastically accepted
Over three hundred people have oeen
killed by the Brooklyn trolley cars and
the number is now far up in the fourth
hundred. The number of the MANNED
must be high in the thousands Ii Is
gratifying TO know that this is proving
expensive to the corporations. and that
it is even producing an effect on
dividends. That gives hope that the
corporation managers may ultimately
take it seriously.
A million dollars is lot of money.
and the amount the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company has had TO pay IN
damages in the past year is said to be
considerably in excess Of that sum.
That would equip all the cars Of the
system with effective brakes1 and
tenders and enable them to be Sorked
by fresh instead of overworked motor,
men without excessive speed in crowded
districts Y. Journal

Who of All is the Greatest womana

A Missouri school teacher, Miss
Vicroy, of Macon, who answered the
question of WHO is the greatest wo-
man in history struck popular and
true chord when she said:
The wife of Missouri farmer of
moderate means. who does her own
cooking. washing and ironing, brings
up large family of girls and boys 10
be useful members of society, and finds
time for her own intellectual and
moral improvement, is the greatest
woman in all history. T"
1t might be said that the greatest
women are hardly in history at ALL
but they ought to be.

tinually in the glare of the clacium

the greatest and doing the most t.
