LOBSTER DISAPPEARING
Like the Buffalo Avarice Is Causing
Passing of Shell Fish.

"Avarice is the prime cause of the
passing OF the lobster Years ago they
were numerous along the New Jersey
and Long Island shores; but they have
been gradually fished out. until now
the supply that reaches the New York
and Boston markets is very largely
caught in Canadian waters. says an
interesting article in Appleton 5 Maga
zinc. Canada is much wiser than
the United States III protecting its
fisheries. Up TO within ten or fifteen
years ago Maine furnished large pro
portion of the Holsters that the
New York market demanded; but
today practically none leave the Pine
Tree State for New York; and nearly
all the canning factories that dotted
the coast few years ago have been
closed on account of inability to secure
Holsters, Wholesale and fancy grocers
do not quote canned Holsters i'm their
price lists, because of the uncertainty
Of the supply.
"Most of the lobstermen pay not the
slightest heed TO thc law They catch
and market understood Holsters, some
only seven or eight inches long, yerit,
able babies; and when they find a
seed lobster On female in spawn,
with the eggs incrustcd on the under
side of the shclD in one Of their
pots, instead of returning il to the
water. as both The law and common
sense demands. they throw 1t IN with
the rest of the catch.
''Thc Maine law prohibits the catch
ing or having in one S possession a
lobster under ten and onc-half inches
IN length; but such laws do not exist
IN other States; consequently. if
fisherman OF 4 dealer succeeds in get
ting his Holsters safely over the State
line, ne IS practically safe.
At irregular intervals tour of
inspection is made by the Maine fish
wardenS. These tours are of the comic
opera variety, and suggest a brass
band poolroom raid in New York.
They are usually privately announced
in advance. and all the lobstermcn
along the coast are tipped of by
telephone, or by mon on horseback or
in sailboats. Consequently lobsters Of
Illegal length are rarely found.
Recently the Massachusetts State
Board of Fish and Game Commits
sioners, in the course Of its report,
Said
The commercial extinction Of the
lobster is as sure TO result as day is TO
follow night. In thirteen wears there
has been decrease of more than 66
per cent i'm tho catch of Holsters. -

A TALE OF ROME.
lErom Jnlv Bohemian. J

(From July Bohemian.)
''Rome in her pristine splendor.
Stripped of the scurrilous years.
The Rome that lived and loved and fought
AS we; in her hopes and fears"
Over the Circus MaXimUs
And the multitude crushed within,
Brooded an omnous silence,
While the flame OF the sun grow dim,
And a blot OF Shostly shadow
Was spawned in the Place OF Sin.
Slow, TO the gloominG arena
Came One, the last OF his band,
And the folds OF his snowy toga
AS He paused on the bveathless sand
Swayed, like q wrath OF the Martyred
Faith
That had bloomed In a merciless land.
Pale were the Roman faces
Pale--to the mlghtiest there,
While the Gagged beasts, crouched tenscly
In the depths OF their distant lair,
ShiVered and screamed together
In the chill of the pregnant air
A moment then back at the heavens
The Roman Defiance WAS flung,
Drowning the stridulent trumpet
The roll OF panoplled drum
For @vith two out. three men OF the
bases.

MANNERS AMERICAN WOMEN
Henry James Has Desperate Task i'll

In the July number of Harper s Ba
Zar, Mr.. Henry James continues his
desperate task of reforming the wom-
on of America IL is their manners
that concern him now. and no writes
of them sadly but frankly.
60 Let me thus then, making my im-
age comprehensive, invite it TO cover
the case of the whole social opportun-
ity of women i'm orr rough American
world--that world indeed whose appar-
emily admirable capacity for still feed.
ing innumerabIe millions makes us even
yet resent the application to it's lib
erality of any invidious epithet. We
have to breathe low that it is rough,
and that the free hand we have given
on all sides to our women has done
much less than we might have dreamed
to smooth it: we otherwise invite our
selves TO taste overmuch OF certain
forms Of the roughncss. This, how
ever. is trif1e if VIC only succeed in
insisting, insisting with lucidity; than
which there is no better way, doubt.
Directness is achieved accordingly,
when this petition to the American
woman is made, absolutely. against
her much misguided self, and when it
10 asked of her to recognize. not that
her path is more lighted than that of
her downtroddcn sisters in other worlds,
but that she literally stands in need
of three times their sufliciency Of
admouition. il is in other words NOT
three times easier for her to please and
soothe and happily TO cxcmplify, but
three times more dIfficult-by reason
of the false lights that have multi.
piled about her and that an atmosphere
absolutely uncritical has done nothing

CANADA BEATS us
Foreign Trade Has Grown Wonderfully
in Past Ten Years,


The foreign trade Of Canada, OBJ
serves writer in the current Harper s
Weekly, has grown during the past ten
years from $230,000, 900 to $552, ,000,-
600, and is now two and half times
per head that of the great American re-
public. The expansion of her home man
ket is attested by the statistics of her
economic prosperity. Last year her
railroads, in which Sl,2S9, 100000 are
invested. carried 30,0O0,000 passengers
and 102,000,000 tons of freight and
earned Sl06.000.000. The paid-up capi,
tai of the banks in the Dominion is
$S3000,000. and the sum of their as
sets is $767 900, 900, In 1905 the reve-
nue. of the Dominion was $7l 900 900 for
100000 people: IN 1856 the revenue Of
the United States was but sos ,000.-
600 for 27000,000 people. No better
proof could be affored of the immensely
greater purchasing power Of Canada to-
day than was possessed by our repub.
llc half century ago, In view OF these
facts, 1t is not strange that Canada
should face the future with supreme
confidence. 1t remains to add that the
opening of the short route TO Europe
by way of Hudson Bay-a route which
will be open for five months in the
year, and will shorten the distance be-
tween Liverpool and the Western ship
pers OF grain by about 1000 miles-is
now definitely assured, no fewer than
six railways TO Port Churchill, the best
OF the Hudson Bay harbors. having
been already chartered.
