Representative Tawney, for the com mittee on ways and means, has fayora- b1y reported bill which has to do with the fur seal industry of Alaska, and which appears to propose the pro tection of the seal herd by it's practical destruction. The bill recommended by the committee provides for a modus vivendi with Great Britain looking to the abolition of pelagic or open sea sealing, and, failing to accomplish that the bill provides that the seal herd shall be reduced by killing until but 10000 female and 1000 male seals re- main. The object of this clause of the bill, as explained by Prof Henry ". Elliott. who is the chief advocate of the bill, is to so reduce the seal herd as to destroy the pelaglc sealing indus try by making it unproftable for the sealers. According to Mr Elliott the sealers of foreign countries now annu- ally destroy thousands of mother seals when they have gone out into the sea from the islands to feed. As a result the offspring of each mother thus killed is left on shore to starve. To stop this inhuman practice and at the same time to preserve sufficient parents to event. ually build up another herd is the ob- ject of the bill which the committee has fayorably reported.

SHATTERED TRADITIONS.

You young scoundrefv' exclaimed the unwilling father-in-law when the eloping couple presented themselves for parental forgiveness and place to live. .sYou constituencies scampi You stole my daughter away and disregard ed all the conventionalities of society," And yet you ask for forgiveness!
 You old scoundrel, what did you do?" retorted the new son-in-law. What did you do? You let us elope and did not pursue us on horseback with a shotgun. You have shattered all the traditions of elopements, and have blasted all the romance of the af- fair for us. We might as well have got married to the rum-tum-tum of the church organ and let you pay the bill You haven't spark of appreciation in your makeup"
 Crushed by the merited criticism the father-in-law invited them to supper, for they were rather hungry.-Baltia more American

 The declination of Governor Me- Lean to again be a candidate has brought to the front a whole loT of candidates, prominent among the num- Der being our well known townsman, George L. Lilley. Well, without going too deeply into the situation, or say ing disparaging things about former governors of Connecticut, we might re- mark in passing that the republicans might go farther and fare worse. The editor of the New Haven Leader says that owing to the practical recognition in state conventions of the locality principle in distributing the nomina- lions, and the .disinclination to give any section of the state more than its share of Ihonors, it is evident that MT IilIey. who halls from New Haven county, would prefer that the head of

the ticket be nominated from some oth- CT part of the state. And in view of the work that Mir Lilley and his friends have been doing for months past in the Lake Quassapaug confer ences and elsewhere, aspirants for places on the state ticket may find that he is a factor to be considered. Hav- ing this in mind, the Leaders list of candidates offers some interesting po- litical possibilities, viz: Hon N. D. Sperry of New Haven; Hon E. J. Hill of South NorWalk; Hon John Perry of Fairfield; Hon W. A. King CT Willi- mantle; Hon c. H. Brooker of Anson- ia; Hon Frank Brandegee of New London; Hon Frank T. Brown of Nor wich; Hon Donald T.

 The twenty million dollars which Uncle Sam is to expend for new pub- lie buildings means a tolerably good income for architects who are success full enough to provide plans that are acceptable to the government.

THE TWO GIVERS.

 l Once there was a man With yearning for Famn- For a bunch of renOwn To attach to his name; So the wages went down In his mills and his shop, And the profits went up With the price at the top. And the man struggled on, In his fight for the dough, Till he'd salted away Just billion or so. Then he scattered it. wide Through the school and the church, On the pillow of Fame
 He was given a perch Once there was man Who was earnest and good; He paid for his work Just as much as he could. He said men deserved What they helped him to make, And the people rose up To declare him fake" They called him scamp, And demagog, too; They said there were schemes Back of all he would do. Which all goes to show
 That gifts not the same When it's given for good
 Or it's given for Fame. Josh Wink, in the Baltimore Ameri- can.

.'The engines of naval steamers have been modified from time to time to con- form to the general progress in marine engineering" says a trade paper writer. ''but it is proper to note very marked difference between the conditions un- der which the two classes of engines opeate. The merchant steamer, as an almost invariable rllle runs at uni form speed for which the engines have been designed, so that they work con- stantly under maximum conditions, and they can be so designed within reason albe limits as to give the highest econ omy under those conditions. The naval vessel, on the other hand, is designed to secure a very high maximum speed which it is expected will be called for of her cruising is done at speed vary ing from little more than half the maximum down. This means that the engines of naval vessels ordinarily de velop only about one-eighth of full power, or less although the capacity must be provided for full power So long as the maximum speed of naval vessels did not exceed fourteen or fif- teen knots, the reduction in power for a cruising speed of, say, ten to eleven knots, did not entail very serious de crease of economy, because by some re- dsiction in the boiler pressure and some increase in the ratio of expansion it was possible to get the desired power; but when maximum speeds had risen to twenty knots and upwards, while cruising speeds were from ten to twelve knots, the problem was changed and became immensely more difficult

HE PREFERRED THE FODDER.

A good story comes from the seat of war in South Africa. 1t deals with one of the recent numerous captures by the Boers of bodies of imperial yeo- marry. On this particular occasion Commandant Shuts came across a party of thirty-six imperials, who at once threw up their hands and uncon- ditionally surrendered. Having re lieved them of their arms and ammu- nition the Boer commandant next day sent the following message to the off, cer in charge of the English force from which they strayed 'Have thirty six imperial yeomanry. Will exchange for fodder. What terms?''
 Quickly back came the answer: "Thirty-six imperial yeomanry no use to me. Fodder is. Exchange on such basis impossible.''

THOSE who have been made de-
PENDANTS in the Miller & Lux water
suit in this valley are taking steps
to establish their rights, and 1t IS
probable that a meeting will be
called to discuss how this can best
be done. The only question in
this valley is that of prior rights,
as none of the defendants here, we
understand, are diverting the
water from the river SO that it will
not return after use. 1t is claimed
that Miller & Lux are claiming
prior right to more water than
ac.Ys in the river at any time. 1t
is one thing to make such a claim,
and afSther thing to substantlate
it. We see no grounds for any
serious difficulty i'll this suit. 1t
may be that parties who have
taken out bitches lately will have
to lose some of the water when the
river does not carry enough for
all, but the outcome of the suit
will establish the right of every
ditch owner in this valley, and this
will be worth something to every
body. 1t will be better for each
individual to know just what he
owns in the way of water right
than to have things stand the way
they do, with only few having
any records of what they possess.
Such condition is detrimental to
the growth of the section, and I'M
der it no inducements can be offer
ed to people to come into our val
ley and settle. Settlers would de-
mand clear title to water enough
to irrigate what land they pur-
chased, and if they cannot get it
they will remain away. We are
not disposed to think that Miller &
Lux are disposed to play the hog
in this water suit, although such
may be the case. However, there
is little fear that those who have
bitches and can prove prior rights
and use of water will be in any
way damaged. OF course, it will
cost individuals something to prove
up their rights and put them on
record, but this money will be well
spent as it viii enhance the value
of their property

THERE are sixteen States which
will be benefited by the irrigation
measure which has recently be-
come law. 1t is stated that S.
100000 will Immediately become
available for carrying out the pro-
visions of the law, and that $4,000
900 will be received yearly here
after to continue the work of re-
claiming arid land. AS the money
received from the sale of govern
ment land in the fifteen States out
side of Nevada will be much great
er than that received in our State
the other States will be the ones
to first receive the benefits from
the new irrigation law. Nevada
will come in at the tail end. The
highest estimate we have seen
made for Nevada is $4,000 a year.
There are four great rivers in this
State, at the headwaters of which
the flood waters can be stored
They are the Truckee, Humboldt,
Carson and Walker. 1t will take
at least 100000 to establish a
storage system on either one of
these rivers. Therefore it will be
about seven years before reservoirs
and dams are constructed on either
one of the streams. Already there
is contention as to where the work
should begin. The Silvey State
thinks it is ridiculous to talk of
doing anything with the other
streams until the Humboldt Valley
is taken care of. Those in the
neighborhood of the Truckee and
Carson will probably think that
their interest should be first served,
while we know that the greatest
good would come to the greatest
number at the least expense by
beginning on the Walker River.

The first necessity of athletics is a
sound stomach. Food is the source of
all physical strength, but to extract and
assimilate the strength from food requires
that the stomach and other organs of
digestion and nutrition should be in
condition of good health. What is true
of the athletc is true of every man and
woman; physical health and vigor de-
pend upon the digestion and assimi1a-
ton of food
