i FUTILE AsTI-rR JUST LAW.

Some of the anti-trust laws aren't turning out any better than some of the Populist laws did. A few years ago, when almost everybody was afraid of the trusts, the legislators of Ohio made a law which provided that the attorney general of the State or the prosecuting attorney of any county in which trust existed might forthwith institute quo warranto proceedings to oust it from it's charter or franchise. and, further, that any violation of the law might be punished by fine of not less than $50 or more than $5.oOO. or by Imprisonment for not. less than six months or more than year, or by both fine and imprisonment. Under the law each day of violation constituted separate offence. Proceedings were in- stituted against seven members of the Coal Exchange of Massillon, it being alleged that they combined to prevent competition, restrict transportation fa- cllities, and fix the price of coal. The defendants were found guilty in the lower court, but on appeal the penal provisions of the act were declared un- constitutional. One of the grounds of this decision was the indefinite lan- guage of the statute which, it was held, did not define Trust with sufficient accuracy for penal statute.
 What is wanted now is a law that will make the Securities" of the trusts rise to point where those who own them can get out whole.

E HARD TO KILL.

Is there any way to, really get rid of mosquito except to hit him hard when his back is turned? Not long ago a cheering report reached England from Africa of the discovery of a plant, one ,os the basil family. which was obnox- ious and even fatal to mosquitoes. The story excited such interest and faith that the governor of Sierra Leone has caused a number of exhaustive experi- ments to be made, the results of which prove conclusively that the mosquito cares no more for the basil plant than a donkey does for singing. He does not try to avoid its presence, or suffer any inconvenience from it. He will perch upon it, sit upon it, and eat his dinner under it's shadow with the utmost non- chalance and satisfaction. Even when shut up in a bottle with it he lives for days or until he dies of hunger. If you get heap of basil leaves and set fire to them in your chamber and keep on burning them until the smoke is so thick that you are reduced to a choice between instant flight or death by suf- location, a mosquito who may be in your company will exhibit signs of dis comfort. He may even swoon, but, so say the scientific experimenters, a little fresh air will speedily revive him.
 So fades another ray of hope. It is too much to believe that anything but well-directed assault with intent to kill will dispose of such mosquitoes as have frequented New Haven this summer, and even that is uncertain.

BEraS,s rALK AT URBAyA.

Brother Bryan was never heartily liked by the worshippers of Grover Cleveland, and it is now evident that he either despairs of winning their love or doesn't want it. His speech at Urbana, Ohio, has made it impossible for them to even think kindly of him. He said of their idol: "The Democrats of 1892 played confidence game on the people and put bunco-steerer at the head of the party. I want to say to you, my friends, that the disreputable man who stands on the street curbing and leads the unwary traveller into game where he, loses his money is respectable com- pared with the man who accepts the suffrages of five millions of people and then leads them into Wall street to be betrayed. Don't be deceived when they tell you it was the silver question that drove people out of the party"
 This is plain talk, almost too plain for the peaceful summer season. But per- haps Brother Bryan is almost as much agitated this summer as he will be next summer. It is evident that he doesn't mean to run for vice president on a Cleveland ticket.

BOERS IN MEXICO.

Some of the Boers don't want to live under British rule. Two Boer colonies are being established in Mexico, one in Chihuahua and the other at Tamauli- pas. General Snyman of the Boer army was in Fl Paso, Texas, the other day, arranging to forward farm implements to one of these colonies in Chihuahua, and he told a reporter that General Vil- joen had cabled him that fifty Boer families were to be ready to leave Johannesburg for the colony on Satur- day last. General Snyman says: am the iappjest man in the world to- day and my wife Is the happiest woman in the world. Why, the other day when we sat down together at dinner at a little table in a modest house on the property which is to be our future home the little woman called to my mind that it was the first time in four years that she and had sat down in place that we could call our own. She is perfectly delighted. She already loves the cour- try, and says that were it nothing but a desert and a place she could call home and have her family undivided about her she would yet be the happiest woman living, And that is just the way that the others of my country men now in the country feel about it. For us all it is the coming after many

THE MARSH HAWK.

One afternoon in the early spring, I was walking across the low-lying land extending along the borders of river.
 Before me lay a wide expanse of open country, chiefly grassy meadow, with
 here and there little hillocks. which
 stood out somewhat higher and greener
 than the surrounding sod. Suddenly
 there swept past me, in easy, graceful
 flight, 8 long-winged, ash-gray bird
 with a large white patch upon its trump;
 a male marsh hawk, hunting. Quite
 low he flew, sometimes so close to
 the ground that he famed the tall
 grass blades, sometimes skimming
 lightly over clumps of bushes, rising
 and falling as though he rode upon the
 crest of a gentle ocean swell. For half
 a mile, perhaps, he continued on his
 course; then, coming about with infinite
 grace. he bore down upon me again.
 Back and forth he circled, .tquartering" the country in a way which proved his
 title to the name of .harrier." All this
 time his bright hazel eye was searching
 every clump of weeds, every hollow in
 the grass, every twig of the ieafless
 bushes. for a sign of his living prey. Presently he caught sight of that which
 he sought, for he checked his onward
 flight, and for an instant hung fluttering in the air. Then lightly he. cropped into the grass, where a lightning stroke laid low a meadow mouse, whose soft, fat little body offered scarcely any resis- tance to these talons of napier steel The bird did notify off with it's prey in it's claws, as sharp-shinned hawk would have done, nor did it stop to de-
 your the mouse on the spot, as I have
 often seen marsh hawk do; 1t picked
 up the little rodent with it's feet, and
 by a series of long leaps through the
 grass, it reached a rather more seelud- ed spot, where it began to tear it's vic- tim to pieces with It's hooked bill.
 About a week later. I was walking over the same open country, and again saw my old acquaintance the marsh hawk. This time, however, he was not alone, for in his company there was a somewhat larger bird. dark umber brown on the back, and with reddish streaks on the head. This was his mate and despite the difference in coloration, she had the characteristic white patch
 on her runp. It was the counting season, and as was anxious to see the manner in which the masher hawk courted his bride, hid myself in a ditch 1 which drained the meadows, and wait ed. For an hour, perhaps, nothing un- l usual happened, and I,had begun to
 fear that my patience was not to be re- warded that day, when suddenly the \ male fioated into view, and began a
 series of evolutions such as I had heard

We have at present about 1900 felony convicts in Alabama, he says. They are worked in mines, and when went into office as governor of the State they were all leased to con- tractors and put under absolute State control. It is true they are worked in the mines Of their old contract bosses, but they are fed, clothed and managed entirely by the State, which is paid so much per ton for the coal mined, and not So much for the labor of each con- Vict. as is done in Georgia" .'

It is being seriously suggested in England that King Edward, breaking through all tradition, should pay visit to America next year, beginning his tour with a stay in Canada. as he did many years ago. It is pointed out that nowadays a transatlantic journey is really small matter, and one writer expresses the opinion that therefore the visit of a European sovereign to the United States is but a matter of time.
