The first petition to the General
Court of 1902 for legislation was filed

Simmons; president Of the Plymouth
County Railroad Company, for extern
sion of the time for constructing por-
ton of the road until November 1902,

granted a charter in 1892, with capt.
tai of $3.50, 900, to build line in East
Weymouth, bingham. Norwell, Han

struction should be completed from the
Marshfield line to the Hummock in
Duxbury in one year. The new petit
ton asks six months extension on
this branch.

Dean Fremantle contributes to the
Times an interesting and important
letter to show that "the causes of de-
population, which are exciting such
dismay." are not peculiar to France,
but that "all Europe, except Russia, is
going in the same direction, and Eng
land is leading the way" He says If
the present decline in the birth-rate
continues in the next % years it will
have come down from 20 to % per
1000; and in less than so years from
this time it will have been reduced to
II, the lowest figure which we can i'm
agine the death-rate to reach. There
will then be no increase of the nation.
but, as now in France, the prospect
of actual diminution. He declares
there is no reason to doubt that the
limitation of families will go on be-
yond any assignable limits unless the
conscience of the nation awakes to its
tremendous danger. The wish for ease
and material enjoyment are indicated
as the general cause of the evil.

was badly ratified, but he removed his
overcoat, tossed his gloves into his tall
hat, and said:

An EnSIfsb Beauty.

Lady Milbank enjoys the superior
ity of greater number of inches than
any other of the high-born beauties
of London society. Lady Milbank
proudly boasts that she is fraction
over the perfect hight of a man, but
none the less is she graceful for all
that.
She is blonde and blue-eyed, with a
typical English skin of milk and
roses, and the artists who have paint
ed her portrait say she has the pref
test little ears in all England. AS a
rule Lady Milbank dresses in soft,
clinging fabrics, draped with a special
view to accentuating her stately
inches, and big black hat, loaded
with plumes, is the invariable accom-
paniment of all her charming gowns.
In spite of her good looks and great
social talents, this vigorous young wo-
man wastes little of her time in social
frivolities. She is an expert yachts
woman, holding pilots certificate,
and also great huntress, whether the
game is deer in Scotland, foxes in Eng
land or pigs in India.

people who are suffering from catarrh
Of the stomach who are wasting preci-
Gus time, and enduring needless suffer-
ing. The remedies they try only tenn
porarily palliate the distress, but never
effect a cure. Remedies for dyspepsia
have multiplied so rapidly that they
are becoming as numerous as the leaves
of the forest, and yet dyspepsia con-
tinues to flourish in spite of them all.
This Is due to the fact that the cause OF
dyspepsia is not recognized as catarrh.

range of medicinal preparations that is
in every particular adapted to dyspep-

AN ANrIPoDEAN LUNCH IDEA

The free lunch system of the United
States is a thoroughly American insti-
tuition, but, transplanted to Australia,
it fiourlshes at least as luxuriously as
its parent in the great republic, says
a writer in Beverages. There a per-
sen purchasing a glass Of beer at an
ian o. re3tluraGt may supplement it,
free of charge, with CIT from a joint
o. a c>0,ce o. dishes.
UaGer more favorable conditions,
Australian hotel ke5psrs and publicars
have brought the free lunch system to
a point of excellence which fills one
not only with an admirable meal, but
also with the conviction that it will
be impossible to go one better within
the limits of profitable transaction.
The injury, therefore. that has been
worked upon the ordinary caterer by
the rapid extension of the free lunch
business may be gagged from the fact
that there are at present in Sydney
several first-class hotels where, by
purchasing a 12-cent drink, you may
partake Of cold luncheons the equal Of
which, IL eaten in a restaurant, would
cost several times the money-without
the drink.
In these places there Is no indis-
criminate self-help by the patron, no
spelling of the symmetry CT the sir
loin by hungry and inexperienced car
vers, no ruthless wrecking of the lob
ster salad by selfish solicitors of lob
ster without the proper proportion OF
lettuce. You are attended to at a
handsome cedar counter and whatever
you may fancy, and as much of it as
you care for, is served by the walters
in attendance.
