Job. II Is thought that by the time
the present generation is grown and
the lawyers now living have reached
their rewards there may be an end to
this work Certainly the work will
go on for five or ten years longer.
Yet congress is supposed to pass few
er bills than the ordinary state legis-
lature. One man resigned his seat in
congress to get on the commission,
and he did not have TO make any effort
TO get reelected. Another member of
the commission has died during his
term OF office, but still the commission
goes on, and when the present men,
bers die there will be new set, and
when the new set gets old 1t Is ex-
pected by the lawyers that the work
will be finished.
This multiplicity of laws is an ele
ment of lawyers fees. When law
yer knows it is going to take him three
days to find out If mans COW can
eat the grass on the pasture of
another man In a certain parish he
must charge about the value of the
COW for an opinion. because he will
have to contribute services worth the
value of the COW before he is through
with his investigation of the question.
AS showing the differance in the
number of laws IL is set down that
there is only one lawmaking body in
all the Kingdom of England and that
ic .,f
the House of Parliament. They make
all the laws. both the larger and the
smaller ones. They make the laws
regulating the running of cattle at
large, as well as laws providing the
means for carrying on the govern.
ment. There are no distinct lcgisla-
tive bodies. All the legislation comes
from one source. Consequently. there
is very little of the confusion appar-
ent here, because there is need for lit
tie local legislation. There is only
one lawmaking body in France and
only one in Ge many. All these great
bodies consi.rr the smallest local
questions when there is occasion for
ii. but when there is no necessity for
violent change they so ahead. Laws
have stood for hundreds of years in
these countries without a change. an
the probabilities are that they will
stand for centuries more. They were
made on broad lines that were care
fully considered and elastic enough
to fit changing conditions.
The lawyers in this city who dis
cussed this question are at a loss to
know how to stop the craze for making
new laws. unless it be TO have spe-
cial session of the legislature called
for the express purpose of repeating
some few hundred acts watch are now
on the books and which should not
be there
In the meantime the average man
proceeds daily in his career of crime.

TRADES FOR EACH TOWN.
Philippines In Dagupan Would Net
Saw Boards In Their VILLAGE.

A characteristic of the articles pc
culiar to the Philippines is that they
can be had only by going where they
are produced, except very occasional
ly at an exhorbitant price in Manila.
At Callasio are made, in limited quan.
titles. fine hats and cigarette cases of
the fiber OF the bole palm, which can
be bought nowhere else. At Lucban
they make an even finer hat, to be had
only there. Paete. another town. Is
noted for its woodcarving. Other
places may have the same materials
and as skilled men, but they will not
make for you what is not peculiar to
the place; II asked why they say,
1T is not our custom" and that la
final reason with them. Near Dag
upan there is town where almost
every native is a carpenter by trade.
An army officer stationed at Dagupan
wished to have some boards sawed;
but in Dagupan II could not be done;
he must go three miles to the neigh.
boring town of carpenters, or go with
out his boards.

RIVAL STEEL TRUST.
French Company Soliciting Orders at
Less Than American Rates.

The Steel Trust Company of France
has Representatives in Chicago en-
deavoring to obtain contracts at less
than American trust prices. II Is
claimed by these representatives that
one contract was signed Wednesday.
Rene Blume and CASTOR Block, who
were sent to this country by the
French company. say the steel they
sell Is made by new process. which
is known only to those engaged in its
manufacture. BY this secret process
they assert their concern can produce
the best steel at about half the cost
Of American manufacture. The
Frenchmen visited the offices of the
Burlington. the Alton and other rail-
roads, and It is said the first named
roads made contracts for large con-
signments of steel to be used in the
manufacture of tools for their machine
shops.

LIVING IN LONDON.
IL Is Not n Good Place for n Man of
Small Income.

small Income.
An American, vino, in the classical
language of his country, is at present
located" in London, wants to know
whether any city in The world Is quite
SO niggardly as our town. He has been
going the round OF the London restau-
rants, and has encountered in the
management of them q spirit which
Gistresses him. There is. to begin
with he says, "a charge OF from I'd.
to Cd. for guarding your hat aud coat
in the cloakroom, and tip In addition
Is expected. You want 70 wash your
hands-another %. or another Cd, and
another tip. You take up the menu,
and behold, there is an intimation
that a charge of Sd. each person will
be made under the guise Of table
money" The charge varies accord
ing to the nature of the place-3i. is
the lowest, Cd. perhaps the average;
at great many restaurants it is Is,
and in at least two that have visited
Is. Cd. The only difference is that
in the lower-priced restaurants it is
called table money and in the high
er-priced ones placed under the cap
tivating heading of convert To my
mind, an entrance fee. frankly de-
manded at the door, would be much
less offensive than to find yourself
asked at the end of a dinner to pay
tor the trouble and expense of clean
ing up the. cutlery you have used"
His conclusion OF the whole matter
is that London lives by imposing
fixed tariff on the accessories that in
every other city have ever been to
are thrown in gratis" and he thinks
that being a gentleman is one of the
most expensive professions an Eng
lshman can have. He declares IL TO
be an utter delusion that London Is
a cheap place to live in. For the poor
man." he says, the man whose in
come is less than $500 year. there
is no city where less can be had in
the way of comforts and even the ne
cessites of life. In New York 1t is
only the luXuries that cost: the eX-
pensas OF everyday living may be as
great or as small as one cares to make
them. New York, in fact is laid out
for the poor man. From the transpor-
tation system to the price of such fun
damental charges on the household
treasury as COAL. ice, fuel, meat,
bread milk. ana fruit. almost every
thing conspires to bring him in a
good return for a very small outlay
All these things are cheaper in New
York than in London4"-London

STUDYING Glacial Movements.

A recent number of the Meteoro.
logische Zeitschrift. calls attention to
the use that may be made of the fall
of red dust, which occurred over most
of Europe on March IL last 1t was
suggested some time ago that studies
of glacial movements and phenomena
might be facilitated by coloring a con-
siderable portion of the surface of a
glacier, and then noting the rapidity
of movement and the folding and frac-
turing of this particular colored stra.
tum. The dust storm of last March
colored the European glaciers on a
grand scale, and thus an excellent op-
portunlty of making critical studies
of these glaciers has been provided.

A gentleman has tried the follow

when ia Fun Bcing Sick.

One of the local girls boarding
schools includes among its day pupils
a young miss OF II years who repre-
pents the concentrated affection of her
parents. a sister and a number of old
er brothers. She bubbles over with
merriment, is healthful to a degree
that alarms the family physician and
speeds through her lessons as thought
fully and regularly as could be eX-
pected of a girl who takes music les
sons and must give half an hour a
day to each member of large family.
The other day she went to school in
good spirits, but succumbed to tooth
ache at the end of her first study
period. Instantly the whole school
went TO work to nurse her-possibly
out of recognition of her fathers in
fluence and his interest in the school.
She was taken up stairs to the room
CT one of the boarders, blankets were
heaped on her until she almost smoth-
cred, the superintendent came in the
room and lowered the blinds, the his
tory teacher came and offered edibles,
and every girl in her class poured in
after each recitation period to inquire
how she was. But no one gave her
any remedy for her toothache. She
lay there two or three hours, suffering
bravely and counting the figures in
Inc wall paper design, when suddenly
the pain ceased. She accordingly arose
put on her wraps and walked home
Yesterday she vouchsafed to tell her
home folks something about it. why
in the world didn't you tell us before?"
they all asked. Then the sly little
school girls eyes began to twinkle and
she replied demurely: well, you see

tooth fixed for good and all. And its a
mighty lot of fun being sick in a
boarding school, specially when you

DEATH OF A BELOVED MOTHER IN

Mrs. Beneta Purser, the beloved
mot her of Rev. r. II. Purser, pastor of

She had passed four score of years and
yet the vital spark seemed 10th to be
extinguished, after this long period of
time Mrs Purser was IA woman of ex-

convictions and of marked influence
among her associates. She was the
mother of ten children, only four of
whom are now living: Rev. X. Ii. Pur-
ser, OF Brookhayen, Rev. John F., of
Opelika, Ala, and two daughters who
rt side at Hazlehurst.
No matter how white the hair or how
bent the forms of ones parents may be,
or how advanced the years of their
children, the tie that binds them to-
gether remains as strong in age as in
earlier life; and, when at last it must
be broken, Faith whispers it will be
renewed where all things pure aud
beautiful find blessed fruition beside
the River OF Life, in the City of God.
Surely this faithful mother wears a
crown among the brightest reserved
! for those who inherit the Kingdom of
Heaven.
