OWNERSHIP OF THE PEARL.

Our readers will recall the article
OF a few weeks back, to which this
is the sequel:
The Hamburg supreme court rem
dered decision in the case of the
pearl valued at over $3.50, found in
her mouth by woman who, accom-
panied by a male escort was eating
oysters In restaurant. The woman
Claimed the pearl and her escort
supported her claim, but the pro-
prietor of the restaurant sued to re-
cover the pearl on the ground that the
shells, like chicken bones, were by
tradition left by custmoers and were
a source of profit to the proprietor.
The court decided that the pearl
did not belong to the woman who
found it nor to the proprietor of the
restaurant, but to the man who paid
for the oysters. In rendering it's de-
clsion the court pointed out that if
the ownership of the pearl were to
riepose In the restaurant proprietor
instead of the person who paid for
the oysters then its ownership might
as we'll be carried back to the oyster
dealer who supplied the restaurant
proprietor with the oysters and thence
to the fisherman who took the pearl

A RUSSIAN HEROINE.

Side lights on the real causes of
the shot water" in which Russia is
always finding herself continue to
appear. cit was Madam Alchevsky
of Harkoff, however," writes A. ii.
Ford, in the New Idea Woman's
Magazine for May. "who first dared
to suggest mental improvement for
the peasant girls of Russia. At
tirst, and that was thirty years ago,
grand duchesses, wives of mobiles and
high officials threw themselves into
the movement. All Russia was
ablaze with zeal for educating the
masses. Homes of the wealthy were
thrown open as night schools, and on
Sunday mornings Thousands fiocked
to the first free public schools Russia
had ever known. Suddenly a chill
ling blast was felt. The Emperor did
not approve of popular education.
High officials at once commanded
their wives to forget that there were
such things as peasant girls desir-
ous of education, society withdrew
It's approval, and the houses of the
rich were once more closed to the
of the poor. Then it was
that the bravery of Madame Alchev-
sky shone forth more brightly. She
defied the government, and donating
her entire wealth to the cause, turned
her private residence into a public
school, where any poor girl desiring
an education might come at night or
on Sundays. For many years this was
the only free public school in Russia.

RAVE YOU FELT THAT wAyg

Haven't you often worn goggles OF blue,
And seeing Life's sham and its shame,
Felt II was all a big scramble, and you
Might as we'll get into the game?
That nothing much mattered but dig
bunch of cash,
And the man who was good was a jay,
And the whole blooming country was
going to smash;
Haven't you, haven't you felt that way d?
Haven'tyou felt it was hardly worth while
To try to live upto your bestG
Aud haven't you smiled cynical smile
And something way down in your
breast
Whispered Life had prize that was
higher than gold
And sweeter than fame or display?
Aud the faith that had slipped took
brsnd-new hold;
Haven't you, haven't you felt that way !?
And didn't peace come near that was
And urge you to strive toward It still ?
And didn't you turn your face to a star,
And didn't you say: Il willp
And weren't you stronger. and didn't you
find
The world was better, and didn't 1t pay
To be brave and patient and CHEEKY aud
kind;
Haven'tyou, haven'G you felt that way ?

FAMOUsHYMN AND IT'S AUTHOR

John Keble, who wrote the hymn
"Sun of My Soul" was remarkable for
the beauty of his character as we'll as
for his learning. In the May Delin-
Gator Allan Sutherland tells some
thing of the gifted author himself
and of the origin and romance of his
grand hymn. He says:
ait is through his famous collect
ion of poems, The Christian Year,
that Keble is best known and will
be longest remembered. These DO
ems were written between 1919 and
1927. 1t was in the second poem
printed in The Christian Year that
keble's famous evening hymn, Sun
of my Soul first appeared-a hymn
which voices the sentiments and the
prayers of countless Christian hearts
as the twilight fades into night and.
we yield ourselves to sleep and to
helplessness.
"a visitor once asked Alfred Ten
nyson what his thoughts were of
Christ: They were walking in a
garden, and for moment the great
poet was silent, then bending over
some beautiful flowers he said:
what the sun is to these flowers
Jesus Chrlstis to my soul. He is the
sun OF my SOUL Conciously or un-
consciously, he was expressing the
same thought in the same language
used by good John Keble years be-
fore when he gave to the world his
great heart hymn, "Sun of Ny Soul"

MARTIN Ar SUFFOLK.

One of the strongest political ar
guments which Suffolk people have
heard for a long time was delivered
Monday evening by Senator Martin.
About the declaration. OF Gov.
Montague that there were sixty-fve
members of the Senate who were cor
poration attorneys, Mr.. Martin said
that statement was false. There
were many ladies in the audience
who joined in applause with the
men.
In part the senator said; cit is
charged that / stand by my friends;
| thank God that i have deserved
this reputation; when the time comes
when L must turn my back on my
friends, then / court defeat and not
election. But challenge any man
to say that, /, when called upon in a
public capacity, have ever stopped
to inquire before performing that
duty whether he was my friend or
foe.
off have to win this office on the
dement's OF my opponent, if there are
any, | do not want the office.
"If | have not discharged the du.
ties of the office faithfully and effic.
iently, then vote for someone else.
The office does not belong 10 me,
but to the people of this dear old
Commonwealth. If the people of
Virginia desire a man in the United
States Senate who wraps himself in
his dignity as with cloak and with
lifted head and protruding chest, re-
fuses to visit the departments, pro-
claiming, / am a statesman, then
turn me down; want to do some
thing more than that for the people
who elect me.
1T is said / have shown activity
about the department; that 1 have
been a department runner. Yes,
but If there is any man who can say
that ne ever called upon me to per-
form a public service for him at one
OF the departments and failed to
do it owe that man an apology,
and will acknowledge that / have
failed IN one of the first duties of q
senator"

THE sHELLBARK HICKORY

The shellbark hickory is perhaps
the most interesting tree we have,
because it is strictly American tree
and so welded to it's native soil that
1t refuses to become citizen Of any
other country. In the sturdiness of
Its roots and trunk, in the boldness
In which it filings ont its tough
branches, in its strong individuality
OF character, and in its general fruit
fuiness, not forgetting its uncouth
roughness of bark, it further mani
tests Its strong Americanism. Its
winter buds are large and interesting.
Early in spring the dark brown out
er scales fall away. The inner scales
then lengthen to protect the grow
ing leaf, sometimes attaining length
of five inches. These inner scales
are marvels of beauty both in text
ure and in color. The body of the
scale is thick and leathery, while its
surfaces, especially the inner, are
soft with a silken nap gorgeously
dyed in yellow, orange and red, sug-
gesting the chimney-corner, and the
heat which glows from hickory
log.-From "The awakening of the
Trees" by Franz French, in the
June Scribner's.

NJ ACKEREL CAMPAIGN ON.

Advance Guard of the Fleet Put
Into Norfolk for a Supply of las.
Olines
The advance guard of the mackerel
fleet reached Norfolk April 4th. The
vessels were the schooners Mary f.
Harty, of Gloucester, Mass, and the
Natalie B. Nickerson, of Booth Bay,
Me. They sailed from Gloucester a
week previous on the first cruise of
the year in search of mackerel.
They have each an S5-horsepower
auxiliary engine aboard and called
there for gasoline, taking some 375
gallons each at liz cents gallon.
Trim vessels aud able ones, these
sea rovers are, clean almost as yacht
and beautiful to look upon. Each
is about 100 tons net as merchant
marines are measured, with towering
masts, two topmasts, main booms of
monstrous length and carrying
clouds of canvas.
Picked crews they carry of nine
teen men each, of great intelligence,
all apparently Americans and New
England coast bred.
On the deck each vessel carries a
big seine, two Swsmpscott dories and
a monstrous rowboat which looks
like a whaleboat and which every-
body on the pier who knows things
coveted.
The schooners are as able for their
inches as is anything afloat. Seamen
do not fear to sail in them in any
ocean, and the fact that they 90
tearlessly off Hatteras indicates that
they are the gameoocks of the sea.
The mackerel catching season with
the down casters, which has Just
opened, lasts until November, when
the fish which they have pursued all
summer arrive off the coast of Nova
Scotia. The pursuit begins about
OFF Hatteras, fifty to seventy-five
miles at sea, and is now beginning.
When they sight the fish ''schoollng.n
they go after them, scoop 'em if
they can, and purse 'em up with the
seine, which is handled from the big
boat that is put overheard when the
fish are sighted.
When the fish are taken in this
vicinity the schooners which carry a
lot OF ice to preserve the catch ship
the fish north. None are salted until
about July and afterward. The
schools are then farther north, and
the sailing and packing are done at
the schooner's home port.

SPEAKS TO LARGE CROWD

Congressman Swanson spoke to 8
large and enthusiastic audienc,
Thursday in Suffolk. Swanson wa,
introduced by W. j. Kendrick, chair.
man OF the meeting, who in a few
but very beautiful, remarks, recalled
to the audience the manly way in
which he took his last defeat.
MIR. Swanson started his speech by
referring in very complimentary
way to his opponents. His last de.
feat was referred to by him in very
amusing way, and as to his politics
he said
81 am not one of those who desert
the party because it refuses to crown
me as king"
He also stated that he solicited
the votes Of all the Democrats of the
State, but said: eff you think some
one else can serve you better than
can, you owe it to your manhood
and to your State to elect some other
candidate as you may choose"
lie alluded to the responsibility of
the office, and the power with which
the new Constitution had clothed
the Governor in the appointments of
the different boards, members of the
Corporation Commission and other
offices. He thought the twelve-year
service as member of the lower
House of Congress and six years. SER
vice on the Committee of Ways and
Means, one of the most important
congressional committees, equipped
him for the responsibilities which
the duties of office requires.
He most highly endorsed the sys-
tenn of education in public schools
of the State, but greatly emphasized
the fact that more money was needed
for carrying on the schools and the
same should have longer terms.
AS an original proposition, Mr..
Swanson said that he favored a
single book list, uniformity of books
aud cheapness of books, iustifying a
single list. Any book concern
should furnish books as cheap as is
done in any State in the Union, and
L as Governor would not contract
with any firm who Disseminated.
Good roads was discussed st length
and he said all of the candidates
stood for them. He declared in
favor of convict labor for working
them, and for county and State
appropriations combined with Fed
eral. He stated that by an eco-
nomical administration the State
would have four to five hundred
thousand dollars left in the treasury
and he would be in favor of expend-
ing that on the roads and the edu-
cation OF the boys aud girls.
That county and entire section is
overwhelmingly in favor of Swanson.

RETURN OF THE FISHING FLEET

The boats come sailing up the bay,
And one by one their anchors cast;
Storm-beaten are their sides and gray;
Their flags are at half-mast.
ana one by one they furl their sails,
And slowly pay their anchors out:
hopes' frayed and white, hang from their
rails,
With broken spsrs about.
Like poSntom ships they cross the bay,
With hulls and rigging weather worn:

Their canvas stained and torn.
