THE STATE GAME LAWS

The Agricultural Department has pre-
pared digest of the Game laws of the
several States for 1901, which will be is
sued in the form of pamphlet. Last
Spring. amendments to the game laws
were enacted by the legislatures of nearly
all the states, and numerous changes
were made. The Department says:
Experience has shown that while
much stress is laid on close seasons, COM
paratively little importance is attached
to violations of other provisions of the
game laws, and it does not seem to be
generally recognized that killing game by
illegal methods, in excess of the number
allowed by law, or for unlawful purposes,
is as serious an offence as killing game
out of season.
''In order to emphasize this point,
special chapter on methods has been intro
duced and some of the other sections in
the former report have been rearranged
As the bulletin now stands, it is practic-
ally complete digest of existing Federal,
State and Provincial laws relating to the
capture, shipment and sale of game"
Obviously, in a country like this, the
public needs some education on game
laws. For about two hundred years
after the settlement of the United States,
such laws were unnecessary, because
game was SO abundant that there was
enough for every poor man who knew
how to use gun or a rod. Gradually,
in the more thickly settled portions of
the country, the animals most in demaEd
were practically exterminated, and this
process was hastened by the immense de-
predations of milliners and furriers, who
paid what seemed to the country people
to be large prices for the skins of birds
and animals. As transportation facili-
ties were improved and extended, it be-
came possible to supply game for city
markets in much larger quantities than
had before been sent there, and all this
time little or no effort had been made to-
ward preserving or breeding the species
thus ruthlessly destrored. The history
of game preserving i'll thi cudutry is
much the same as that of forestry. In
both cases the natural resources of the
land have been ignorantly or ruthlessly
destroyed; and in both cases it is neces-
sary, by-wise and well-directed legislation,
to repair the damage before it is too late.
This is a matter which ought to be
brought to the attention of every farmer
in the country If he impresses upon
his children and his neighbors and his
hired men the obvious truth that when
they destroy a bird in the breeding sea-
son they are helping along the time when
there will be no birds at all, he will be
doing good work. To this end, the
pamphlet issued by the Agricultural De-
partment shonld be carefully circulated
and carefully read.

WORK ON DELAWARE RAILROAD

Travellers up and down the Delaware
Railroad are particularly struck by the
activity all along the line. Hundreds of
men are at work grading, putting down
track, widening bridges and culverts and
otherwise preparing for double tracking
the entire road from Delmar to Whining
ton, distance of 81 miles. Thus far the
two track system has been completed
from a point north of New Castle to the
canal bridge, and from Mt. Pleasant to
Ginn's station. All the portion that has
been completed has been heavily ballasted
with STONE such as is used along the main
line of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Grad
ing is also rapidly progressing for stone
ballast and double tracks from the canal
at Mt. Pleasant, from Mt. Pleasant to
Ginn's and from Ginn's to Townsend.
The work for grading for double tracks
is also. being pushed from Laurel to Broad
Creek, from Broad Creek to Seaford, and
from Seaford to Cannon's. The work Of
double tracking from FELTON, to Harring-
ton is also being hurried.

EXTENT OF THE LYNcH1NG EVIL

The Chicago Tribune has for several
years made a collection of statistics OF
lynching, and its figures are surprising
A carefully prepared table shows the
number of lynchings that have occurred
in the country, by States, from 1885 to
1900, inclusive, period of 16 years. The
totals are as follows;
Alabama 2l0; Arkansas, 156; Califor-
MIA, 27; Colorado, 80; Connecticut, l; Da-
kota, g.; Florida, 100; Georgia, 219; Idaho,
20; Illinois, IA; Indiana, 36; Iowa, II;
Kansas, 35; Kentucky, 130; louisiana, 221
Maine, 8; Maryland, 20; Michigan, 5;
Minnesota, 4; Mississippi, 253; Missouri,
65; Montana, %; Nebraska, 33; Nevada, 4;
New Jersey, 1; New York, 2; North Caro-
lima, 90; North Dakota; 5; Ohio, 13;
Oregon, 8; Pennsylvania, 3; South Car
olina, 81; South Dakota, 10; Tennessee,
169; Texas, 247; Virginia, 78; Washing.
ton, 15; West Virginia, 35; Wisconsin, A;
Wyoming, 20; Indian Territory, So; New
Mexico, Is; Arizona, II; Oklahoma, 36;
Alaska, 4; total 2,516.
The States wherein there were no
lynchings during this period were; Della
ware, Massachusetts,, New Hampshire,
Rhode Island, Utah and Vermont.
The remarkable feature of this show
ing is the number of lynchings in the
States of the North, West and North
west, which sections were supposed to be
almost entirely free of this kind of law,
lessness. Kansas, the Dakotas and Ohio
were serious offenders, and even New
England did not escape.
The reason for the excess of lynchings
in the South is we'll known, and, this
fact being taken into consideration, that
section of the country is little, if any,
more guilty with respect to lynchings
than any other section.
The figures not only furnish food for
reflection, but for interesting comment.
In the latter line it is particularly gratify-
ing to note the good record on Delaware,
which has not had lynching for nearly
half century.

FAMILIAR PHRASES

Many of the familiar phrases OF the
day have been in use since remote an
tiquity
A learned German philologist has
recently traced number of these So
called slang phrases through half
dozen languages to their beginnings.
Here is a partial list Of them
Hes brickp-This phrase, mean
ing a good fellow, has been traced to
King Of Sparta, four centuries before
Christ. A visitor at Lacedaemonia, the
Spartan capital, was surprised to ind
the city without walls, and asked the
king what he would do in case OF lnva-
sion. Sparta has $4,000 soldiers, !"
replied the king, "and each man is
brickp'
"To give the cold shoulder. 1T was
once the custom in France, when
guest had outstaid his welcome, to serve
him with cold shoulder of mutton
instead of a hot roast as gentle hint
for him to go.
"To kick the bucket. This phrase
dates back to the time of Queen Eliza
beth. A shoemaker named Hawkins
committed suicide by standing on
bucket placed on table to raise him
self to convenient rafter. To kick the
bucket was, of course, his last act on
earth.
Catching a Tartar" During the
war between Russia and the Tartars a
private soldier cried out: Captain,
/ have caught Tartarp The officer
ordered him to bring his prisoner for
ward. "He won't let mer' the soldier
shouted back, and investigation showed
that the Tartar was holding back his
captor.
''Apple pie order. IA certain Hep
zibah Merton, in Puritan times, was in
the habit of baking two or three dozen
apple pies every Saturday, which were
to last her family through the week.
She placed them in her pantry, labelling
one or more for each day in the week.
The pantry thus arranged was said to be
in apple pie order.
"a feather in ones cap. ."-It was once
a custom in their wars with the Turks
for the Hungarians to wear feather in
their caps for each Turk they had killed.
"Blackguards!' When the Horse
Guards parade in st. James Park, Lon
don. crowd of bootblacks always crowd
about to black their boots and do other
menial work. These attendants at the
guard mount have long gone by the
name of "black guards. ?"
"Deadhead. I'm Pompeii people who
gained admittance to an entertainment
without paying admission were called
"deadheads, because the checks used
for admission were small ivory deaths
