MANY Favor It.

When offered In the last Legislature, a
similar measure was not successful, but
developments since that time have ar
rayed a strong line of members in favor
of the bill, and Senator Sadler now an
ticipates the passage of his measure. The
necessity for some such provision. he de:
claresl is urgent, and Is daily becoming
more so. Pot-hunters are operating in
every section of Virginia, and are killing
off game in large quantities for shipment
to city markets.

Ter of negroes and others who have ADAM
doned all work during tho hunting sea-
son and devoted their time entirely to
killing deer, turkeys and other game, for
which they receive good money In tho
markets.
This BILL" said Senator Sadler yester-
day, will cut down the rat!ons OF you
city fellows. Residents of counties will,
OF course. be able to hunt their game,
subject to the laws governing them, but
the 'pot-hunters.' who are in. not for
sport but money, and who are extermi-
Mating the game will be exterminated
themselves. There can be no moro ship
ments to city markets. II this bill is
adopted. But the difference to the cities
will in reality be small, for in a very
short while. II the present conditions con-
tinue. the game will be depleted and the
supplies will cease anyhow. The pot
hunters should be outlawed They are
no better than the hawks that prey on
game and for the determination OF which
many counties now appropriate money .
Indications point to other efforts at
this session of the Legislature to protect
the game of the State. Senator Lynn, OF
Loudoun, yesterday introduced n bill pro-
hibting the killing of certain game in
Virginia east of the Blue Ridge Noun
tains in the years 1906 and 1907.

New York Tribune. The maps in this
book are remarkably we'll executed and
are interesting In that they show the
parts of the world as they were known
at that time. On one Of the maps the
northwestern part Of North America Is
shown as parts undiscovered" Aus

of Tasmania, as one supposed continent.
New Zealand, too, Is shown as a partly
discovered new land. The Hawaiian
islands had not been heard of.
The Atlantic Ocean was at that time
called the western Ocean," What is
now the Pacific Ocean was called the
"Great South Sea-" and the Caribbean
Sea was then known as the "North
Sea-" Another important map In those
days was that of Mexico, known as
"New Spain," and what Is now Texas
was then the Province of Louisiana"

Charles NJ. Schwab, the young mil
lionaire who was once the head Of the
steel trust and Is now completing In
New York the costliest private resi-
dence in the world, has once again re-
marked that education and culture unfit
haps this is largely true so far as
Schwab's observation extends. But 1t
must be understood that the brain of
Charles NJ Schwab has a very limited
horizon. Great successes are being
achieved every day for the development
and betterment of humanity, which q
Schwab can no more appreciate and
comprehend than pig can understand
art. The pig-come to think Of it-has
tiny little brain. But every fraction
Of its intellectual energy Is devoted to
the welfare of its stomach. You see
a lot Of so-called human beings that
seem to be built on the same plan
There is sort Of fatality leading them
to the accumulation Of money. They
have marvellous cunning in getting rich
but If you touch their minds on any
other question you may find them blank
The man who thinks Of nothing but
making money may not be capable OF
realizing that other people can think
Of nobler purposes. Like the pig, with
it's snout SO deep In the trough that
its eyes are buried In the slop, its hui
man prototype may also be unable tc
see or think Of anything in the world
but the one business Of getting all that's
to be got 1t Is right and proper that
the pig should have no thought but fol
its stomach-it is made that way. But
with man 1t Is different; to have 9
pigs mind he must acquire 1t by kill
ing the best there Is in him. By will
he renounces manhood and debases
himself to the level of the animal. He
spills no blood, but he murders a mar
to make a pig. 1t Is the basest Of
suicides, and perhaps the commonest
1t is right and proper, too, that {
man should make all the money he car
get honestly and use wisely. The maj
who makes money, as a means to al
end, is not to be despised. He is doing
his part of the worlds work, and tn,
part Is no small or ignominlous one
But there are other duties in the worlt
besides making money. There art
qualities in the human mind and sou
infinitely more important than thos'
which make large accumulations o
money possible.

Why should the American citizen or
citizeness who pays $500 in good money
to be enrolled In an Americas smart
set be made a target for the mordant
jeers of an inconsiderate populace?
How are we ever going to have an

exalted ambitions by hooting at the
patient performers in the field? If we
are not to have a "Burke's Peerage''
edited by society writer's and sold on
subscription to people who want their
names mentioned, we are left with no
standards Of aristocracy whatever. 1t

ALLIoAToRs IN CAPTIVITY.

Not Hard to Raise, but Are Canni-
balls and Eat Their Young.
Probably az long as aliigators have
been known the young have been kept
as curiosities and most amusing pets
do the little fellows make. Unlike the
young other wild animals, which are
sometimes domesticated when small,
they grow very slowly, especially when
out Of their natural environment, and
are consequently we'll adapted for this
purpose, as q number Of years eiapse
before the alligator is large enough to
be troublesome or even dangerous. Al
ligators do not appear to be very in
telligent, the recognition Of the person
who feeds them In captivity being
about the limit Of their mental attain
ment. The older ones are sluggish and
lazy, though they sometimes fight VI
ciously with each other and are capa-
BILE of doing terrible execution when
aroused, says the Scientific American.
If properly taken care Of the young
alligator will thrive even In unnatural
circumstances. His main requirement
is sufficient heat, and II the box or cage

little reptile becomes languid and al
most torpid, refuses to eat for long Pc

some weeks. If, however. the temporal
ture of the air be raised or the tank
wherein he lies be warmed by the ad-
dition Of little hot water he soon re-
wives and attests his continued interest
in life by renewed activity and the re-
appearance Of his appetite. Unlike the
older members Of his family, the young
alligator in captivity is quite lively
sometimes of an investigating turn OF
mind, and usually combative, his antics
are often diverting. If he can escape
from his cage he will travel consider.
able distances and unless overcome by
cold will wander indefinitely, subsistins
as best he can.
Many people who have attempted to
keep alligators have made the mistake
Of trying to feed them on a vegetable
diet, for the alligator is first and last q
carnivore. The diet Of the young, who
should be fed nearly every day, is sim
pie and consists of bits of fresh meat
insects and worms. They often show
great fondness for the ordinary earth
worms and will frequently refuse al
food but those. The larger specimens
in captivity are fed about three times g
week on fresh meat or small live ami
mails and they require little attention
other than this.
The older ones, particularly the
males, will II possible eat the small al
ligators with avidity, and to checl
these cannibalistic tendencies the rep
