Game Laws Changed.
Season for Woodcock Opens October I
for Doves September I.

The last Legislature made num-
Der of changes in the game laws
that are very important and will be
a surprise to many gunners. Hereto
fore the season for woodcoCk open
ed on July I, and it is a fact that a
number OF local sportsmen, ignorant
of the law, made arrangements to
start out as usual on Saturday i'll
quest of the birds Their plans were
upset when they were informed that
the last Legislature changed the
opening of the woodcock season to
October I, and imposed a heavy
penalty for shooting any before that
time. Another provision Of the new
law relates to doves. Previously
there was no restriction upon shoot
ing them. Now they may be shot
only from September I to January l..

The theory OF colonial administra-
tion in the seventeenth and eigh.
teenth centuries was summarized by
Montesquieu in the phrase, Com
mercial monopoly is the leading prin-
ciple of colonial Intercourse" This
was common to all nations having
colonies, without exception. Passing
over sundry minor, though important,
details, hy which the colony was
made to minister to the individual
welfare of members of favored
classes, the monopoly was expressed
under two principal heads-commerce
and navigation. Under the first was
comprised all exchange of merchan-
disc between the colony and the eX-
tornal world. The mother country
the colony all needed supplies; not
only o" its own produce or manufac-
ture, but of other countries as well,
which must first be brought to it, and
onial products could be exported only
to the mother country which consti-
tuted itself commercial centre
whence they were to be distributed
to other peoples. Thus the colonial
market was reserved to the home
merchant, and the colonist, for his
market, was limited to the mother
country. This restricted intercourse
was called the direct trade; while the
concentration in the mother country
of supplies for the colonies, and Of
colonial exports, whereby she reaped
the profits of storage. of handling,
and Of the commission of the middle
man or broker, was known by the
French word "entrepot. From THE
War OF 1872" by Capt. A. Z. Mahan,

Plus X. Helped to Diq Grave.

A Baltimorean who is now in Rome
writes home that many stories are be-
Ing told Of the new pope. One which
he relates in his letter refers to the
time when the present pontiff was par
ish priest at Salzano, village near
Treviso. The story depicts Plus Y.
as "A grayedigger, and is accredited to
the Rev. Alexander Robertson, a Pro-
testant missionary residing at Ven
Ice 1t follows:
"a son of the soil himself, the pope
in his earlier days was always will
Ing to help his countrymen. The sac
rlstan tells how more than once when
a body had to be brought to the
church from n distance for a funeral
service and three men only could be
found to carry it Father Sarto, then
thirty-two years old, would himself
form the fourth. When, in 1873, chol-
era broke out at Salzano a panic
seized the villagers, and none could
be got to dig graves or bury the dead.
Don Beppi, as Father Sarto was
called, then said to his sacristan, You
and | must do it, So getting spades
they set to work. Their courageous
conduct was not lost upon the par
ishoners, who soon relieved them Of
their toil,"-Baltimor Sun.

The Busy Farmers Wife

The farmers wife hasn't got a
thing 10 do nowadays but watch the
setting hens, hover about the little
chicks, milk the COWS, attend to the
milk, churn butter, feed the pigs,
look after the young calves, watch
baby, carry the water, make the
garden, do the cooking, baking,
scrubbing, clean the house, make
the beds, wash the dishes, wash
and iron the clothes and a few
other little things. Her days are
one long, sweet song in the spring
and sumner time, and when the
sun goes down she has a few chores
to do, just enough to keep her mind
occupied until about 9 o'clock,
when she can go to bed feeling re-
freshed and frisky. In the morn
ing she is awakened early by the
victorious screech Of a rooster out
in the garden inviting all his ie-
male friends to come in and have a
nip. a pleasant sound, one that
brings a smile to her lips and a
twinkle in her eye-abernit.

Trades for CleraYmen.

One cannot question the practical
good sense of the advice given to can
didates for the ministry by "A promi.
nent Philadelphia clergyman in urg-
ing them to learn some trade either
before or after their ordination. He
has examined the statistics of the
various Protestant denominations,
and has been appalled, by the number
Of ministers who are without a charge
He thinks that a trade would be n
good thing to fall back on in such
cases, besides standing the minister
in good stead in many ways while
still in the pulpit.
The advice Is applicable to men
entering almost any of the learned
professions, but particularly so to
clergymen, who run greater risks, ap-
parently, than any class of profes-
sionals of being "lad off, from their
regular line Of work Most of the
large denominations have fund to
provide for their superannuated cler-
gy, but the stipends awarded are usu-
ally too meager to do more than pay
for the barest necessities OF life

WHERE SLAVERY STILL EXISTS
Moroccan Government Approves Traf
fic, and Sales Are Frequent.

In his article on The Slave Mar
ket at Marrakesh," in "Harper's Mag
azlne' for Janaury, S. l.. Bensusan
gives a vivid picture OF this terrible
traffic which goes on approved by the
Moroccan Government. lie describes
the beginning Of the sale as follows:
THE crowd at the entrance parts
to the right and left to admit twelve
grave men wearing white turblns
and ellabias. They are the delals, or
auctionecrs, and the sale is about to
begin.
slowly and impressively the delals
advance in line to the center of the
slave market, almost up to the ar
cadc where the wealthy buyers sit
eXpectant Then the head auctioneer
lifts UP his voice and-oh, hideOus

Now each delal has his people

Take a Look at the Wind.

Ever take look at the wind? Can't
see it, you say? Yes, you can. Some
day when gale is blowing and the
atmosphere is cold, go out in your
yard, taking nice, bright handsaw.
If the wind is blowing from the north
hold the saw with its ends pointing,
one to the east, the other to the west.
Take the saw as if you were going to
cut the air upward and let the teeth,
which are on top, tilt it over till the
Hat part Of the saw is on an angle Of
40 degrees with the horizon.
Then If you look along the teeth
OF the saw you can see the wind pour
over the teeth as plainly as the water
over waterfall.-Wilkesbarre Pa)

No Mere Passes For Politicians

From all appearances the rank
and file of dismantled political Re
publican Organization of Philadel-
phia will have considerable trouble
this year in securing transportation
for their summer outing. Both the
Pennsylvania and the Philadelphia
& Reading have issued notices that
no favors in the shape of pass IS
will be granted for political reasons.
The following announcement was
issued Saturday by the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company
In conformity with the usua
practice the Pennsylvania Rail- DAD
Company issued orders which will
result in general shutting down
i'll the issue of passes during the
present Summer season. This action
has been taken in view oi the large
volume or travel which is moving
over its lines at the present time,
and which is expected to increase
during July and August, and furth-
er fact that the passenger depart
ment has made the customary re-
ductions i'll rates to the different
Summer resorts.
Since Mayor Weaver has taken
charge of the destinies Of Phladel-
phia there has been so little cause
for the railroads to seek favors
from those whom they have beeu
compelled to see tor the past few
years. Conditions during the past
month have greatly changed. The
railroads are doing business direct
with the Chief Executive of the
city and they are having no trouble
in securing all proper requests.
For many years the railroads have
been trying to curtail the issuing
passes to politicians and their
friends, 1t is we'll known that the
privilege has been abused, and it is
thought that this is the time to put
a stop to it.
