oleO and the Grout Bill.

The Grout anti-oleo law, passed al
the last session of congress, has had
an effect opposite TO that intended. Il
has increased the production Of Cleo
margarine and lessened its cost to the
consumer. The creamery interests
expected the law to stop the manutae-
lure of oleomargarlne almost entirely
or to increase its price on account Of
the ten cents tax per pound, SO that
httle would be used. The ten cent tax
was put on colored oleo. Uncolored
oleo has to pay only a quarter OF a cent

law took effect was two cents a pound

BEST WAY TO CATCH RATS.

stiff, stout paper, tying the edge
round the barrel. Place board 80
that the rats may have easy access to
the top. Sprinkle cheese parings or
other food for the rats on the paper
for several days until they begin to
think they have a right to their daily
rations from this source. Then place
in the bottom of the barrel piece of
rock about six or seven inches high,
filling with water until only enough
OF it projects above the water for one
rat to hang on. Then replace the
paper. first cutting a cross in the
middle and the first rat that comes
on the barrel top goes through into
the water and climbs on the rock.
The paper comes back to its original
position and the second rat follows
the first. Then begins fight for
the possession of the dry place on
the stone, the noise of which attracts
the others, who share the same fate.

OWNERSHIP OF RIVER BEDS.

The opinion of Judge Wexford
rendered in the Circuit Court recent
ly in connection with the chancery
suit of Mrs. Ellen G. Taylor against
the Commonwealth of Virginia
and the Colonial Water Company
practically gave the State ownership
over all river-beds and the develop
ments thereon below the water
mark.
The particular question under dis
cussion was the ownership of well
which had been bored In York river
of the property of the plaintiff. II
was claimed by Mrs. Taylor, through
her counsel, that the well, being
located in the river just off her
shore, was her property. Counsel for
the defendant contended that the
well was beyond the jurisdiction of
private parties, and therefore the
property of the State.
The decision of Judge Wexford
in favor of the defendants is OF
great Importance, this being sub
ject of much interest throughout
the Tidewater District. The case
may go the Supreme Court.

Protect the Robins.

Editor Richmond Times:
SIR,-May l beg sufficient space
In your paper to appeal to the people
of Virginia in behalf of the robins of
the State? The slaughter of this
beautiful bird has become tragedy
for all lovers of the Virginia fields,
and to any one who has watched the
robins of England, Canada or of the
Northern States, as they gather
fearlessly about the country thresh-
olds, there is keen reproach in the
aloofness of our own redbIeasts. 1t
was only last autumn that one OF the
foremost American writer's upon
birds remarked to me, in pointing to
d string of dead robins at "a wayside
station: "One sees that sight no.
where in the civilized world except
in the South"
Surely it is time that this reproach
should be lifted, at least, from Vir-
ginia. Surely it Is time that our
housekeepers should refuse to buy a
robin in the market; that our farmers
should realize the priceless protection
they afford the crops; that our sports
men should feel that to bag such
game "is not sport, but butchery.." Is
it possible that there are not enough
bird lovers in Virginia to prevail
upon our lawmakers to preserve for
us the robins?

Gen. Miles Tells How Stonewall
jackson Got HIS Breakfast.

The leading feature Of the Good
Roads Convention in Charlottesville
last week was the speech of Gen.
Miles. whose appearance did not
indicate that he had suffered much
mental worry over the criticisms and
snubs of his superiors. Gen. Miles
did not take up seriously the discus
sion of good roads. He spoke jocular-
ly of his former attempts to visit
Virginia as follows:
81 am gratifed to be with you on
this occasion. always loved yir-
glnia, for | remember that myself
and some companions struggled for
four long years to see more of your

Suddenly Stonewall opened up eigb-

A Point or Etiquette.

In fashionable society single wo-
man does not invite young men to
call upon her unless she has had
several years of social experience. In
some parts of the United States wo-
men claim the right to invite gentle
men to call, while in other sections
it is the custom for a gentleman
first to ask this privilege and for a
lady to grant it. Having passed her
twenty-fifth year lady may depend
upon her experience and judgment
in her choice of male acquaintances
and offer or grant them the hospi-
tality of her parental home. There
is, however, an unwritten law against
lady's asking man to call on first
meeting Unless he is a friend or rela-
tive of good friend of her own and
formally introduced, or a gentleman
we'll known in her own circle of
friends. ds.-Baltimore San.
