After man has lived for thirty
years in one place he sacrifices much
when he pulls up and seeks a new
home among new people. All the
old sacred family associations, old
friends and community interests are
given up, and that more valuable
factor in living which is the outcome
of continuity of resident and employ
ment goes also. If one wants to be
a mover, it is better that be move
often. Old homes, old friends, old
neighbors, old scenes, have a value
which some people never realize until
they have voluntarily severed them
selves from them.-Ev.

War Upon Food Frauds.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
 It is better to have the microscope re- veal the blue clay in a "cof2ee berry, than to await the tardy revelations of a disordered digestive apparatus. A mans stomach may stand the blue clay for years without serious protest but tha gastric juices will not labor with 1t al- ways. The process of waiting for an in- testinal rebellion is too slow for modern methods of warfare upon impure foods.
 This Is the very sound and sensible po- stion taken by Secretary Wilson of the department of agriculture. The micro scope Is now playing such an important part in exposing food frauds that the secretary has finally established a mi- croscopic laboratory where all varieties of imported foods are examined before being submittedN to the chemical tests and analyses in the chemical division.
 The revelations already made under the new regulations adopted by congress are astonishing Coffee berries, artistically shaped and Drowned. are found that con- sist of chicory, starch and other ingredi- ents. and when ground present the ap- pearance and give off the aroma of coffee. The cocoa adulterations disclosed by the microscope are said to be even more remarkable and more deceptive than the coffee adulterations.
 By means of the photo microscopic camera for picturing adulterants and disease bacteria and the microtone for cutting articles of food into infnitesimal pieces it is possible now to detect almost any food sophistifcation that may be at- tempted. Judging by frequent disclos- ures on the part of chemists, health bu- reaus and state food inspectors, Secretary Wilson has a great task before him, and it is gratifying to note the completeness of his preparations for the work.

From the Washington Times.
 Twenty years from now the lobster will have passed out of existence" said an
 official of the United States Fish Commis-
 sion to a Times man the other day. Don't mistake me. I refer not to the
 person designated by the slang term He,
 like the poor we shall have always with
 us, but the fellow you make indigeshble
 dishes out of Is doomed
 For the past twenty years fishermen l have been complaining that the lobster is steadily decreasing in size. Canning factories dotted the New England coast
 from Portland to Passport short while
 since, but today the majority have shut
 down, and the few that remain in opera
 ton work from time to time only. Ten years ago the fshwife who asked 75 cents for a five-pound lobster would have been hooted out of the market Today one of
 this weight would be a rarity and cheap
 at H.5o. The average lobster which Is
 for sale in the market today weighs about
 pound and half, as against the four
 pounder of yore
 "The Peabody Museum, at Salem, Mass,
 exhibits the shell of a thirty-two pound lobster. caught off its coast Not to be
 outdone. Swampscott, little town in the
 same state, boasts that one of her fisher- men took a thirty-five pound lobster. Strangers and the doubtIng Thomas often
 express wonder at this tradition. but they are overwhelmed when the oldest nhahi- tant triumphantly produces pair of gi- gantic gum boots, which Joe Masterson
 wore when he took ut sur.'
 "The passing of the lobster is due to two causes. First the criminal wasteful-
 ness of the fishermen in catching more ] than they need or can possibly sell; and.
 second, to the lack of laws which should
 be stringent and enforced to the letter.
 '"The United States Fish Commission Is doing and has done excellent work along
 scientific lines but 1t needs more support
 from the state legislatures to make It's work of practical value in saving the lob ster from destruction. We have trans ported spawn to various waters on the New England coast. and it has matched
 well. We are not. however. assisted by the fishermen themselves. They are slaughtering the lobster Just as the hun ter of the west slaughtered the buffalo. You are more apt 10 find Holsters in
 the deep water along the coast of New Jersey, New York. Maine and Nova Scotia than any other points along the coast of North America. Three fourths of the Holsters eaten in the United States are caught along the New England coast. The fisherman Is a picturesque figure with his cracking, fishsmelIing oisklns, rubber sou'wester strapped under his chin and long sea boots He looks to the ocean for his livelihood, and takes cod swordfish, haddock, and all manner of small fry. The winter is the real lobster season. The harbors are covered with dorys and the rise and fall of the lobster pot Is heard in every direction. The pot is a cage made of laths. and is about
 the size and shape of a Saratoga trunk.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-07-05
4 FISH COMMISSIONER
 DISCUSSES THE LOBSTER

There is an opening which gradually mar rows at each end and the unwary lobster who crawls in to get at the bait of fish is sure to drop down into the bottom of the pot whence he is unable to escape.
 Maine laws prohibit anyone selling lobster less than ten and one-half inches long, but the men never stop to look at the size of them until the shore Is reached If he is an honest lobsterman he will measure the smaller ones and throw them overheard if they are under the legal size. Having been kept almost without food for days, however, the small Holsters are in no condition to make their way back to deep water. It is a common thing to see the bottom of Maine harbors dotted with small Holsters. Fishermen will even catch female Holsters thickly incrusted with roe. To me 1t seems as if the lob- sterman looked upon the fish commission and the state officials as the biggest cranks now on exhibition. If they per sist in disregarding our recommendations. however, they will find their profession a lost and useless art.
 "A protest must and will arise against this willful waste of lobsters Does any one suppose for a moment that Richard H. or Macbeth or 'Dr. Jekyll and Mir Hyde can be properly enjoyed unless dis cussed over a lobster salad when the cur tain Is rung down? Of course, you may regret the salad and the lobster and the play afterward. but that isn't the ques- ton. If the lobster disappears the thea ter-goer will look for some other form of amusement. an army of bearded barn. stormers will be turned loose upon the public. and the waiter in the down town restaurant will be tipped no more half- dollars bogus or otherwise. Lobster man, think of this and stay thy handr

New York Telegram to the Pittsburg
 Gazette.
 Sixth avenue. between Fourteenth and Twenty-third streets. Is almost entirely made up of skyscrapers now. There are short stretches of old-fashioned small buildings. put up in the brick-and- era of quarter of century ago, but most of the ediiees are the steel frame temples with which all large American cities are familiar. None of the buildings are outrageously tall. however. It seems as if the dry goods kings want places which are not absolutely impossible in the way of stairs. While elevators are in all of them. it Is considered that people may sometimes prefer to descend by stairways from one floor to another. So. twelve stories Is the limit In most cases, and some of the big commercial places are not more than eight. But all are built of steel. and have an ornate suggestion, such as was considered entirely superflu- ous in the old days. Sixth avenue is one of the most important business arteries In Gotham. and recognition of that fact is afforded in the style of buildings which line it in the retail dry goods business. at least.

Must Thester Pillars Be Restoreda 2

From the New York Sun.
 For several years theater buildings have looked upon the abolition of pillars as the thing most to be desired in the construction of such buildings. There can be no pillars without seats back of them. The diplomacy of the treasurer was usually able to put a deadhead in the undesirable place, but there were al- ways times when the seats could be sold. Whatever the attractiveness of a play might be, however, these seats were al- ways the last to be sold, and patrons neveS failed to complain.
 The use of the cantiever system has made it possible to build galleries with out these obscuring supports. Now comes the objection to the abolition of the pillars that the acoustic properties of a theater are damaged when they are taken away. Tn several theaters recently built on the cantilever system the acous- ties have been so poor that 1t has been found necessary to put in sounding wires. One manager who has built seven thea ters tried in several the abolition of the pillars, but has decided to restore them in his next theater rather than run the risk of having the acoustics poor.
