New Zealand's rabbit pest can be ap-
preciated only by inspection OF the fig
ures submitted by the secretary of ag-
riculture OF that colony for the year
ended July. 1900. and recently publish
ed In bis annual report. He states that
during the year ended July 1. 1900,
o.lo2,SII rabbits and 7,744.63S rabbit
skins were exported as against 4.214.-
e62 rabbits and 6.504. 1s9 skins shipped
the preceding year.
This Increase In the number OF rab-
bits killed Is. In his opinion, not an en-
couraging sign, but rather the reverse.
The inspectors OF stock for the yari-
Gus districts report that phosphorized
pollard. when carefully laid, is the most
effective means OF stamping out the an
imals without Injury to stock. 1t ap-
pears. however, that careful superyi-
sion Is necessary In the use Of this pol
son to produce good results.
Other methods OF dealing with the
problem, which are not so effectual as
the use Of poison. but which have the
advantage OF leaving the dead rabbits
In such condition as to be salable, are
trapping. shooting and bunting with
ferrets or dogs. For comparatively
small Enclosures wire netting Is without
doubt the best means OF dealing with
rabbits. and every year sees an increas-
ing quantity Of it being erected. Its
great expense. however, prevents its
being applied to large farms or ranges.

Many of our well known millionaires
have a habit of going about New York
with only few cents of change in
their pockets, and perhaps none car
ries less Of the coin OF the realm than
Henry Clews. Not long ago he and
Mrs. Clews dined at place where the
banker broker author was unknown
and where the rule was strictly cash
down. Knowing that his goodwife
generally had sufficient money in her
purse TO defray any ordinary expense.
he whispered when the finger bowls
were brought: MY dear, will you lend
me enough TO pay for the dinner? I
forgot TO bring any money"
But Mrs. Clews, too, had forgotten to
bring any money, and there sat this
delectable couple with millions Mt
home, but not a cent for hotel tribute!
The bankers explanation to the wait
er was not regarded as satisfactory,
neither did the house understand. The
proprietor, fellow without discern
ment or tact. was so inclined to be In
credulous that Mr.. Clews, disdalning
n controversy, quietly deposited his
gold watch as a pledge that the bill
should be paid as soon as he could send
messenger from his home. In get
ting Into this scrape Mr.. Clews is not
singular.
Other millionaires have had similar
difficulties. There Is n well told story
that John d. Rockefeller. happening
to find his pockets empty. once permit
ted stranger TO pay his fare on the ell
eyated road.-New York Press.

Christ? Not one. When Peter came

tanner What power had Christ's name
on the Roman exchange or In the ba-

Now that Is all changed. Among the
migbtiest men In our great cities today

workers today are the Christian mer-

world are coming on the right side.
There was a farm willed away some
years ago. all the proceeds OF that

Somehow matters have changed, and
now all the proceeds OF that farm go
toward the missionary cause. One Of
the finest printing presses ever built
was built for the express purpose OF
publishing lnfdel tracts and books.

Bibles. ] believe that the time will
come when In commercial circles the

ETHERIZlNG A HORSE.
The Mercifu1 Work Tint Is Done at
an Animal HoxnifnI

nm Animal Hospital.
The interest taken in horse shows by
wealthy people Is in odd contrast with
the neglect which threatens the closing
OF the Harvard Veterinary school at
Boston and its hospital and free clinic
for the animals of the poor. Unless
money Is provided for an endowment
New England, it Is announced, must
lose its only institution for the sys-
tematic study and relief of the diseases
Of animals.
The free clinic has been by far the
largest in the United States and one of
the largest anywhere. 1t Is estimated
that the present year will see n record
OF over $500 cases. 1t is much like the
free clinic OF out patients at any hospi-
tai and will be sadly missed by a class
that can hardly afford the services of
Observation-Disclosures. Cases are brought
to the hospital as an ordinary out pa
tent clinic, accompanied by friends if
not by relatives. The most common
cases are those OF the smaller domestic
creatures. When monkeys were more
commonly seen with hand organs In
Boston. the tendency of these animals
to consumption and the poverty OF
their owners brought many of them
TO the clinic. The animals are examln-
ed and treated by students working
under the professional surveillance of
their instructors and finally of DR..

ment In Washington. The hospital it.
self is revelation of consideration for
animal suffering. The straw which
takes the place Of linen In hospitals for
human beings is as fresh and well
cared for as any linen could be, and
the smaller compartments, which pro-
vide quarters for invalid cats, dogs and
other small animals, are as well kept
as the most exacting could desire. In
performing operations the same consid-
Grafton for possible suffering is shown
as Is the case when medical science
operates on suffering humanity. In
small operations cocaine is used as
local an'esthrtic. and in the more CON-
piicaied operations the patient is under
the influence OF ether.
horse, for example, about to under
go severe operation illustrates on q
large scale exactly the process by
which n human being is prepared for
the same emergency. He is first made
as comfortable as possible. A bed of
clean straw Is spread, two feet thick.
In the middle Of the operating room.
Upon this he is made to lie down, at
PENDANTS holding his feet firmly with
ropes to prevent any possible struggle
and another holding his head and
the animals nerves with hand
and voice. The nose bag, conical, as In
the case of the smaller apparatus used
In etherizing man, Is placed over his
nostrils, the ether is poured upon the
sponge. and the animal, after few
deep inhalations, is utterly oblivious
to any further suffering.

A PRInCsLY BANKRUPT.
How +. r. HooIey Lives mt the Rate
of Sz5.O0O n Ncnr.


1t is now nearly three years since the
failure OF +. L. Hooley, whoce estate
has yielded so far only shillings in
the pound to his creditors.
In view Of the magnificeuce with
which this splendid bankrupt contin-
ues meanwhile to enjoy life, inquiries
have been made by Daily Mail rep
resentatiye as to the future prospects
the estate offers.
Ills inquiries took our representative
TO the Office of George Hardy, a men,
Der or the bankruptcy committee ap-
pointed by the creditors TO act under
che supervision of the board of trade.
Questioned as to the outlook for cred
ltors, Mr.. Hardy expressed the belief
that the estate would yield another .
shillings in the pound in the course of
few months and was exceedingly pes
simistic as to anything beyond that.
Mr. Hooley bears his creditors mis-
fortunes bravely, does he not?'
"In what wayf'
He still lives at the rate of a few
thousands yearT"
More than a few thousands" re-
piled Mr.. Hardy. HE has. besides his
suit of rooms at walsingham House,
his two country seats, Papworth Hall
and Risley Hall. Why, he pays in
wages to his servants, male and fe-
male. and his gardeners, grooms and
the rest, more than 10000 yearly. His
weekly wages BILL apart from those he
pays monthly or quarterly. is between
f12O and f130. He keeps many horses
and every sort of vehicle, from a dog
cart TO q shooting coach. He has about
score of gardeners at Papworth
alone. He is constantly adding TO his
estate there by buying ND adjoining
farms, and recently he bought f2.OOO
worth OF additional agricultural ma
chinery for his operations there. His
wine cellars contain one of the most
extraordinary collections ever got to-
gether, and you may say on my esti-
mate. as member OF the committee,
that this princely bankrupt is not liv-
ing at the rate Of less than $4,000
yearly"
But haven't you and your fellow
committeeman any means of dlverting
some of this income toward the cred
itors?''
None at all. Mr.. Hooley obtains his
income by financial operations he
conducts from Walsingham House.
where he sees clients daily. But he
doesn't deal on his own behalf. He is
she agent of his wife. have long con-
ENDED that we. the committee, should
De able to control the bankrupt's earn
ings We ought to be able to secure
for the creditors the remainder of that
income after allowing the bankrupt a
good maintenance-ssy $4,000 a year."
And do not your powers enable you
to do anything in that directionT
NO; but l have heard from n very
reliable quarter that as one result Of
this Booley business legislation will be
proposed with the object of rendering
such crying scandals impossible in the
future."-London Mail.

A Que,tIon or cn,o.

In the South Carolina legislature the
president OF the senate and the speaker
or the house wear silk robes while pre-
siding over their respective houses.
This custom is nearly q century old.
ana Its origin Is somewhat obscure.
Present attention to the matter arises
from change In the color or the robes
from the original ultramarine blue.
Over this the South Carolina papers
are justly agitated. At one time, far
distant, the robe was red, instead of
blue, but both colors are those OF the
national dag. and either, In the South
Carolina view, is preferable to the robe
OF royal purple donned by the speaker
at the recent session, the gown of
heliotrope gracefully worn by the presi-
dent OF the senate. There was evident
need for new robes. as 1t is learned
from the Charleston Post that the one
worn at this session by the speaker
was n successor to one made for
Speaker James Simons In 1889 at a
cost or 81 200. That robe, as shown In
portrait Of Speaker Simons, was blue.
aud The Post asks that that color.
which has some historical associations.
be fixed by statute. Otherwise II fears
that the house may some day have a
speaker wearing a yellow jacket and a
peacock feather like Ii Hung Chang.

Catarrh has become such a common
disease that a person entirely free from
this disgusting complaint is seldom met
with. 1t is customary to speak of Catarrli
as nothing more serious than a bad cold.
simple inflammation of the nose ard
throat. 1t is. in fact, complicated and
very dangerous disease; if not at first, il
very soon becomes so.
The blood is quickly contaminated by
the foul secretions, and the poison through
the general circulation is carried TO all
parts of the system.
Salves, washes and sprays are unsatis-
factory and disappointing, because they do
not reach the seat of the trouble. S. S. S.
