Congress is at it again, and there is a good deal for it to be at during this session. The matters to be discussed. if not settled, include the questions of protecting the interests of policyhol- ders in insurance companies. Statehood for the remaining Territories. Panama Canal construction, immigration. and the treatment of the Chinese under the present exclusion law, raising revenue against a possible deficit, control of corporations engaged in interstate business, corrupt use of money at elec- tions, the Philippines, San Domingo and other western republics, tariff questions and commercial competition with Germany as well as the usual di- versifed subjects which the various executive departments annually pre- sent to be reviewed by Congress.
 The indications are that there will be an uncommonly lively session. The people are more awake than usual. and perhaps Congress will be.

 PHILIPPINE RAT CATCHERs
Bounty for the Capture of the Animal
 in Manila

Bounty for the Capture of the Animals
 in Manila.
 The Manila rat is much more in de- mand than is the Buffalo rat. Since the American occupation of the Philippines rat catching has become @ big industry It has thrived so much under a pater- nal form of government that 150,OO0 of the animals were caught in Manila dur the last year. Incidentally that meant only good rats in Manila are dead rats. This wholesale slaughter of rats is carried out under the direction of the Philippine Board of Health. It is one of the means used to prevent the much dreaded Asiatic plague.
 In an informal discussion that some Buffalo physicians were having the other night Dr. R. H. McMullen. re- gently returned from the Philippines. told about the inroads the United States Government had been making on the pest carrying rat of Manila. Dr. McCnllen was attached to the Board of Health there.
 Although it is an established fact that rats are carriers of the infection of the dreaded Asiatic plague, yet com- paratively few Americans in Manila are alive to the importance which the Board of Health authorities attach to the trapping of rodents. or are aware that the city has an organized corps of seventy-five rat catchers, and that they trap about hundred and fifty thousand rats a year." said the doctor Such is the case, nevertheless, and, were it not for this rat brigade, it would be difficult to say, where the pest would stop.
 If one pauses to think that bubonic plague is epidemic in Hong Kong and other Asiatio ports which are brought in close relationship with Manila by reason of the immense freight and passenger traffic between the main land of Asia and our new possessions,

writer to get direct hearing before them. He must either hold the cen ter of some stage himself as an actor, or he must be able to secure the in- terested friendship of some successful actor for whom he is able to write promising play. I always read my plays to the managers, because I can interpret their meaning with my own voice and action much better than they can understand it by reading the plays themselves. After reading to these managers some of the ambitious plays that can't get played, they have exclaimed with regret: MT. Kremer, if we could only get actors to act that play as you read 1t, we would under take its production But, as [ have said, the actors and the plays are just what the people want. To get some thing better the people must be edu- cated by seeing somthing better, not at, their own unwilling expenses. We need free dramatic art schools and theaters where the shakespears, Schilers' Molieres. Racines, and all the great ancient and modern dramat- ists can be. played and studied and enjoyed. These free performances would by and by create for dramatic art an atmosphere in the life and hab- it's of the people" ,.-... ......

THE FAMINE IN JAPAN.

Japan isn't anywhere near as dis tressful a country as Russia is after the war, but she isn't entirely comfort able. A famine prevails there over a large area. Out of 1,OOO,OOO people who are troubled, at least half are actually starving, not knowing where to turn for the necessary sustenanee wherewith to keep alive. So many instances of petty theft have occurred that the po- lice are unequal to the enormous work of arresting. They now merely for ward the statistics to headquarters and nothing more is done. There are cases where parents are selling their children i'll order to decrease their re- sponsibility and gain little money. Wholesale emigration to other prov inces is going on. The unhappy people leave stealthily at night to avoid their creditors, taking small bundle of their earthly belongings.
 The talk is that there are too many Japanese in Japan. By and by per- haps the surplus Japanese will find a good living in Korea, Manchuria and the United States. B

amounts to about six pesos a month. So he receives an income Of l6 pesos a month-an average clerks salary. A rat catcher must be industrious. He is hired by the district medical inspector, and if he fails to correl a certain num- Der of animals he is promptly succeed ed by a new aspirant.
 The Oriental professional resorts to many ingenious ways in attempting to fool the Officials and incidentally, in- crease his revenue. When the trap ping was started the officials were none too strict, and 1t was soon noticed that some of the trappeFs were making quite an amount of money. Investiga- ton revealed the fact that oftentimes one rat was made to do duty several times, being kept on the grounds earn ing bounty for its captor until decom- position set in. To remedy this the inspectors now make each trapper bring his rats to the station every morning, and there the right front is chopped off and the rat is labelled with the street and the number of the house from which it came. All rats iare then taken to the crematory. But the clever native found a new
 means of evading the law. He con- ceived the idea of starting a rat farm, and before the authorities were aware of it the business of breeding rodents, in order to collect the bounty, assum- ed goodly proportions.
 Once month an auditing is made, at which time all the traps which are furnished by the authorities must be accounted for by the catchers.
 One of the principal acts in this rat drama is enacted at the water front, where every precaution is taken to prevent rats from coming ashore from ships arriving from plague in- fected ports of Asia. Cargoes are closely watched, and while they are being discharged tin tunnels are plac- ed on the hawsers to prevent the rod ents from reaching the wharf, Buffalo Express.

only a matter of conjecture. but 1t is undoubtedly great, and well, under coalitions ante-dating American oc- cupation. this active rcdent was large Iy responsible for the destruction of an immense amount of property.
 The corps of rat catchers is divid- ed into seven sections, one being as- signed to each of the health stations. Each man, who in turn hires small boys to do the actual work, receives a monthly salary of 10 pesia, which is s. and in addition, three centavos q 1-2c) for every rat he catches This bounty

And She Did.

In boat on a stream they hoated
 along,
 He and She, on a sweet June day (Oh. 1 know this is not an appropriate
 song,
 For d month when the skies are gray; But what matters it, anyWay) She sat at the tiller, and he at the oars, And he looked in her wonderful eyes. And wished he might float to some far
 away shores With her into Paradise. (And he heaved a couple of sighs) And so he asked her to be his wife (Only he put it thus, you see): "Ah, will you not promise to float
 through life Like this, together with me?' (What a chestnutty speech!' thought
 She.) But she answered: "Oh, yes!-through
 life like this We will paddle and drift and float" (Which shows that she was wise lit

4 COTTON PICKER THAT WILL PTCK

4 COTTON-PTCKER THAT WILL PTCK
 One of the long felt wants in the South is a cotton-picker that will pick cotton. Many inventors have long been at work to make such a machine, and now there are indications that a MT. Campbell has succeeded. Tests are now being made of the machine. It has been found that in going over the rows the first time the machine picked 91 per cent. of the open cotton, and going over the rows the second time gathered 6 per cent. more, leaving only per cent. on the ground to be gathered by hand. It is said that the cotton thus gathered fro mthe plants was remark ably free from dirt and leaves and averaged well with the hand-picked staple. But by means of a cleaner also the invention of MT. Campbell, or dinary cotton was raised at least a. half grade or more, and the planters who W9tChed the operation or the machlne agreed that it would be of great value to the cotton growing industry, aside from the saving of labor cost, as the difference in the value of the cotton that has gone through this process is from $1.25 to $1.5O on each bale by rea- son of the grade being raised as the re- suit of freeing the staple of dirt and trash.
 It is claimed for the machine that it will pick ten acres of cotton in day at a, cost of $10, or about quarter of the cost of hand picking. If it will many southern negroes will find a part of their occupation gone.

WORLDS GREATEST MEL LODRAM-

St. Clair, in Public Opinion, quotes Theodore Kremer, the author of 50 successful melodramas, as say ing: Having written so many plays, I am often asked how a young play wright should go about getting his play produced There are compara- lively few responsible managers or men who give the final word as to the production of play. These men are all overworked and do not have time to really read the plays they are com pelled to read, therefore it is almost impossible for an outsider or new

PRTvCETON'S LAKE.

Mir Carnegie is so rich that he can give almost anything he takes a notion to give. Perhaps he could even give an ocean if he wanted to. Anyhow, he has given a lake. Awhile ago MT. Carne- gie bethought himself that Princeton University needed a lake on which to do aquatic stunts. So he arranged to have one made, and it is approaching completion. This lake extends from Princeton to Kingston, 0 distance of three miles, and in it's widest portion will be about 800 feet across. At Kings ton a large concrete dam is to be con- structed to hold the combined waters of the Millstote and Stony brook. The dam will be 27 feet high and 600 feet in length. The waters will thus be backed up to the lower borders of the university campus and will be kept alive by the inflow of the Millstone and Stony brook. Altogether it is estimat- ed that 1900 acres of meadow farm and farm land will be flooded to slight depth. Two high arch bridges will cross the lake, while several islands will be constructed to add at- tractiveness to the scenery. MT. Car negie pledged himself for $3S5,O00 for the building of the lake.
 Princeton has been able to hold her own in land games, and now she may also be able ito hold her own in water games.
