THE DAYS OF MOTOR CARS.
How We Shall Get About at That
Period of the Worlds
History.

When the motor car shall have GUST
ed the horse vehicle, says Henry Nor
man in the Worlds Work, there will
be no need for families to herd to-
gether. To make a call 30 miles dis
tant will be nothing when everyone
has an automobile, and consequently
we shall be able to live with great ben
eft to ourselves in charming but now
hopelessly out-of-the-way country
places, and yet be in no way cut off
from the advantages of town life
Theaters, concerts, good doctors, good
shops will be within reach wherever
we may pitch our tents; there will be
no need to disfgure the landscape with
networks of railways. Our streets
will be cleaner and quieter, and our
goods delivered much more expedi-
tiously. According to Mr.. Norman,
our grandchildren will wonder how
we dragged along at ali in the days
when we were dependent on horses,
trains and bicycles.

The Board of Aldermen are taking
the right course when they invite the
public to an open meeting for the
purpose of discussing the Wet Dock
property. This is something in which
the people are deeply interested and
they should !be heard on the subject.
If there is chance to have public
dock on the site any time in the near
future it should be built, but if the
matter is to continue as it is indetin-
itely, sell the city's claim and allow
the plant, which promises to be one
OF the largest in this vicinity, to pro-
ceed without being Handicapped. 1t
is to be hoped the citizens will be on
hand May II and express themselves
freely.

MESSAGES IN MERCHANDISE.
Many Instances Are on Record,
Among IN em Being Some of
<6IrraEfsssriG mature.

In regard TO the story which has
been going the rounds of the English
papers lately as to Liverpool man
finding a message written upon an egg
by the packer, a widow in Manitoba,
whom he ultimately married, the Lon
don Chronicle remarks that many true
incidents of the same kind could be
related. In 1899 message was found
in barrel of apples that had come
from New Zealand. In this message
the packer of the fruit, young wom-
an, stated that her ancestors, whose
names were given, came from Kent,
and she asked the finder to ascertain
IL any of her name and family still
remained in the country. AS stated in
the papers of the time, the finder was
able to give her full particulars as to
surviving relatives. But Mr.. Tew, of
Leeds, member of Yorkshire bank
ing family, had at one time a coli
lection of these messages in mer-
chandise," some of them being very
tragical, and being survival of the
days when peaceful traders were
caught by Algerian pirates and sold
into captivity and slavery. One such
message had been written in blood
on a coarse canvas bag that had con-
tanned gum arabic; another appeared
as sort of tattooed stain on large
cork that had fastened up a
vessel containing altar of roses.

AN UNKNOWN cENTENAR1AN.
New Grenada Semi-Spandard who
Claimed to Have Lived 1874
Years in 1879.

The interest in centenarians is al
ways great, and, indeed, to some peo-
pie fascinating. As recently as 1878
a.certain Michael Soils, of semi Span
ish origin, resided in Bogoto, Colom-
bia, and was alleged to be 1874 years
old. La Epoca, new Granada jour
nal, wrote at the time of one Miguel
Lollo, whom we take to be Identical
with Michael Soils: s'sThe signature
of this venerable anciano (ancient) is
affixed to deed relating to the
foundation of a convent, sand is dated
1712. DR.. Hernandez, who had heard
about this Miguel Lollo, was desir-
Gus of making his acquaintance, and
found him busy gardening. His skin
is like parchment and his hair as
white as snow It initiates against
the genuineness of Michael Soils that
during the last 60 years or so pre-
vious to what we may describe as his
discovery no one had ever seen OF
heard of him, says the London Lam
Get. He is apparently unknown to
such well-known writer's on centenar-
ians as Easton, of Salisbury, and
Sharon Turner.

SHARPENING OF sABERs.


The question has come before the
war department whether the sharp
ening of sabers is violation of any
law, or custom of war, or of the Geneva
convention The inquiry came from
Capt. LIE Roy Eltinge, Fifteenth caval-
xy, now at Siassi, p. l., says Wash
ington report.
That officer reports a well circulated
opinion among officers that it is not
permissible to grind sabers when fight
ing civilized enemy. The judge ad-
vocate general of the army found
nothing which brings the character of
this inquiry within the exception of
paragraph 847 of thearmy regulations,
and the secretary of war announced
that the sharpening of sabers is not a
violation of the laws of war nor of any
of the conventions which have been
accepted by the United States, either
expressly or by implication for the
governments Of it's military forces when
engaged in actual military operations.
The Geneva convention and its modi-
Acation relate to the care and neutraIi-
cation Of the sick and wounded in time
of war.

THE TITLES OF MAYORS.
Proper Form of Addressing NUM-
cipmI Heads in Leading Eng
Hsh Citles.

When, asks the London correspond
ent of the Manchester Guardian, is
mayor entitled to the prefix fright
worshipful?" The question is not a
purely academic one, says the London
Telegraph, as 1 have seen the "right
worshipful the mayor of St. Pancras'
in print lately The mayors of Lon
don boroughs, following the example
of those in the country, are generally
content to be styled ''worshipful." The
lord mayors who have arisen in the
last ten years at Manchester, liverpool,
Leeds, Birmingham, Sheffield and Bris
tol copy the precedents of London and
York, and are "right honorable"
Strictly, 1 believe, the mayors of some
ancient cities-such as Exeter, Chester
and Norwich-are by custom styled
fright worshipful." Bristol was one
of these cities till the creation of its
lord mayoralty three years ago. These
fine distinctions recall story of the
rural deans of Oxford diocese in the
days of Bishop Samuel Wilberforce.
These rural deans represented to their
diocesan that they had grievance in
the fact that, whereas archbishops
were "most reverend" bishops "right
reverend" and deans "very reverend"
they had no title to distinguish them
from their fellow-clergy. The bishop
suggested rather reverend" Then
the subject dropped.

FISH COME WHEN CALLED.
York Naturalist to This COun-
try from Asia.

Otto Eggelingg7a naturalist of New
York, has finally succeeded in imports
ing from Asia the first specimens of the
curious fish known as the anabes ever
brought to this country, says the
Times.
The special popularity of the anabes,
which inhabits the streams of interior
India, is that it travels for miles on
land in search of water when the
streams are dried up.
Lovers of aquariums have for years
endeavored to osecure specimens of this
fish, but without success, as they al
ways died in transit, especially when
in the vicinity of the Suez canal, ow-
ing to the intense heat.
Mr.. Eggeing conceived the idea of
placing the fish in earthenware vessels,
containing a sufficient quantity of
water-soaked earth, and two months
ago he corresponded with friends in
India, who secured several fine sptci-
mems and shipped them The fish ar
rived last week, and when the earthen-
ware pots were opened, the earth
therein was found perfectly dry and
the fish were in a lifeless state Several
hours after being placed in water, how
ever, they came to life, and are now as
we'll as ever.
These fish are beautifully marked,
and when the light strikes them at GER
tain angles their whole bodies assume
all the colors of the rainbow. They av-
erage about two and one-half inchesin
length, and, unlike other fish, breathe
through the lungs instead of the gills,
thus enabling them to live on land.
1t is said that the anabes can be
tanned as any domestic animal, and
come when called to, eating food out
of ones hand. These fish have what
might be called "crawlers" on the low
er part of their bodies, thus enabling
them to travel over land

EVERYBODY WANTS A TIP.
This Account Has 1t That New York
Exceeds All other Cities In
the Habit.

"There's lot of caloric air sprouted
down here about the extent of the tip
ping evil in Washington and good
deal of it may be on the level at that,
but we don't go the length of tipping
barkeeps down this way, anyhow" said
a man who had just returned from a
New York trip to Washington Post
writer. 81 saw that idiotic stunt come
off in New York yesterday afternoon.
"a few days ago l saw another New
Yorker tip a clerk in a small upper
Broadway telegraph Office. He handed
over the telegram that he had written,
saying to the clerk: Make that rush,
will you?' and throwing a half dollar
and quarter on the counter.
"The telegram footed up 55 cents
and when the clerk passed back the
brace of dimes for change the New
Yorker said: That's all right, and
the telegraph clerk, wearing pleased
expression, tucked the silver into his
waistcoat and hurried to the rear to
get the telegram on the wire. That
looked like kind of greasy transac-
tion to me, but all of that kind of stuff
goes in New York. By the time l get
back to New York on my next trip I
expect to be sandbagged into tipping

me to a street, or handing car con-
ductor an extra nickel for letting me

always began with March 25. We
have had three calendars since Christ.
The first, was the Roman calendar,
and March was made the first month.
The Romans named it March after
