Mississippi's Famous Shell Highways
Not to Be Profaned.

Nv
Pass Christian. Miss.-"We will walk
rather than have trolley tracks on u
shell roads," was the decision of a re-
cent town meeting, and President
Jones, of the Gulf and Ship Island
Railroad Company, had to promise to
lay his roads new trolley feeder on a
private right of way. HE shell roads

be the best in the country. The many

The Gulf and Ship Island Railroad,
which controls transportation in South
ern Mississippi, is building a trolley
line for thirty miles along the coast as
a feeder. Pass Christian people are de-
termined that the trolley must keep off
their roads. Other peoples roads did

be sacred to the horse and, under pro-
test, the automobile.

was that, while trolley roads car be
built anywhere, she'll roads can be

line would be built as near the highway

EXPERIMENTING THE SHAD
Roe So Popular That This Fish
Seems Doomed.
Government Expert Declares They
Are Rapidly Disappearing Under
Rapacity of Fishermen.

Washington, D. C.-"Shad fisheries
of the Atlantic coast are doomed unless
the States take immediate steps to pro-
tect them from the rapacity of the fish.
ermen," is the opinion held by John w.
Titcomb, in charge of the Matching ser.
vice of the United States Fish Commits
sion.
The great demand for shad roe pre-
vents natural spawning and perpetual.
ton of the species. The bureau is now
closing the Matching and distribution
of shad for this year, and reports from
various stations give startling evidence
that the supply of shad on the Atlantic
seaboard Is rapidly diminishing. Fa-
cilities of the bureau allow the hatch
ing and setting free in the streams of
the country of 10000, 900 shad fry an.
nually, but this year only about 10000.
600 have been handled. The output
was 65,493, 900 in 1904, and last year it
was below $1,000, 900.
Mr.. Titcomb predicts that in ten
years, without the Intervention of State
protective laws, shad will become so
oAN III lhO <AtldllliC lifclS ludI luty
will be~purchasable only by the stew
ards of big hotels and those who sup
ply the tables of the very wealthy.
Habits of the shad lend themselves
admirably to the determination of the
fish. They approach the shores in i'm
mense schools, actually %crowding one
another i'll their efforts to reach the
head of the fresh water streams. where
the spawn is deposited. The fishermen
have learned how to intercept the run
by nets in the bays and in the broad
mouths of the rivers, and the market
able shad are now nearly all caught in
this way.
Few roe shad escape the nets. The
rivers are thus much depleted, the nat
ural spawning of the fish interfered
with and the supply of eggs available
for the Matching bureau cut off.
In pointing out a remedy Mr.. Tit
comb says it Is incumbent on the States
to enact restricting laws against the
taking of fish in the brackish waters of
the bays and at the mouths of the riv-
ers. He believes the fish should be al
lowed to ascend the rivers unmolested,
at least during one of the annual runs,
possibly that in May, and during a con-
siderable part of the shad season the
catch should be limited to fresh water.
Streams on the Pacific coast have
been stocked, and the shad transplant
ed from its native waters i'll the Allan
tic Ocean with good results. Shad are
increasing in California and other
Western rivers under the restrictive
laws there enforced.

The Snre Foundation.

Some are all their days laying the
foundation, and are never able to build
upon it to any comfort to themselves
or usefulness to others; and the rea-
son is, because they will be mixing
with the foundation, stones that are
only for the following building. They
will be bringing their obedience, du-
ties, modification of sin, and the like
unto the foundation. These are pre-
cious stones to build with, but unmeet
to be first laid, to bear upon them the
whole weight of the building. The
foundation is to be laid in grace, mer-
cy, pardon in the blood of Christ. But
if the foundation be Of grace, it is not
at all of works; otherwise grace IS no
more grace. If anything of u own
be mixed with grace in this matter, it
utterly destroyed the nature of grace,
which, If it be not alone, is not at all.

Mr.. Bryce Introduces Bill to Erect
$4,000 Cottages.
London.-James Bryce. Chief Secre-
tary for Ireland, introduced in the
House of Commons a bill authorizing
a loan of 500, 100000 to provide labor
ers' cottages in Ireland. Mr.. Bryce
explained that after what had been
done in behalf of the tenants in Ireland
the laborers had a grievance, and it
was hoped that the proposed improve
ment in their dwellings would help to
arrest the physical decline of The pop
ulation and restore new hope to the
Irish laborers. Mr.. Bryce estimated
the cost of a cottage and land at about
$3.50, so that between $4,000 and 10000
cottages would be erected.
John e. Redmond, Irish Nationalist,
congratulated Mr.. Bryce on bringing
in a bill which would mitigate the
present evils, and said he accepted the
measure as an honest effort to deal
with grievances Of great magnitude.

HITCHED CHILDREN TO PLOW.
Farmer Compels Four Little Ones to
Drag a Ten-Acre Garden.


Drag a Ten-Acre Garden.
Oshkosh, Wis.-Complaint has been
made against a farmer living five miles
southwest of Neenah that he has been
hitching four of his seven children to a
plow, which he compelled them to drag
through a ten-acre truck garden while
he guided it..
After securing substantiation of the
facts, DR.. Wilkie, agent of the Fox
River Valley Humane Society, went to
the farmer and compelled him to send
five of the children to school. Five are
of school age. The farmer, it is al.
legged, was rearing them in ignorance.
The majority of the children are girls.
The eldest is not owe fourteen years
of age.
DR.. Wilkie says the plow had harness
attached to it which was put about the
shoulders of the children. The farmer
says the corner pillow or c%ultivator is
very light and was used merely to stir
up the top soil.
