Age doesn't creep, after all; it runs like
a jack rabbit. This is evident from the
manner in which tapestries have grown
old since the passage of the tariff bill
letting in works of art that are more
than one hundred years old.

The statement of the state game war
den that fewer deer than usual were
killed ducing this years open season may
be evidence that the rush of poor shoot
ers to the woods is becoming greater
each year. 1t is certain that the death
list of the hunting season is growing,
and this may mean an increased number
Of would-be deer-slayers to shoot at
and a larger number of greenhorns and
victims of ''buck fever to do the shoot
ing. OF course the average hunter who
came back without venison, hides or
horns, will say that an absence of snow
during the greater portion of the open
season enabled the deer to avoid the rife
men.

A prominent physician of Des Moines,
iowa, declared in an address before the
horticultural society of that state that
apple eating kills the taste for cocktails
and other strong drink. He therefore
advises free eating of apples by those
who are inclined to be bibulous. The
recipe is worth trying.

Two removals from the New York
custom house in the cleanup" incident
to the discovery of the sugar frauds are
worthy of especial attention. An in
spector and a Waterman were taken
from the payroll because they accepted
tips" This official announcement
against the evil of tipping should have "a
good effect all along the line, and cause
employers generally to grapple with the
nuisance in a practical way. The dis
charge of tip takers would soon be
known among patrons and cause prac-
teal display of satisfaction that would
make other employers follow suit.

The hunters of Northern Michigan
who are organizing for the raising of
funds to pay for the restocking of the
woods with rabbits and other game ami
mails and birds should continue in ex-
istence as an organization after restock-
ing has begun, in order to assist the
game wardens in preventing depletion
by pot-hunters. Hunters can help them
selves in the matter of making provision
for good sport better than those who
have only an official interest in game
preservation and propagation. The
Northern Michigan movement is there
fore a good sign.

William J. Calhoun, the new minister
to China. is, like Charles r. Crane,
Chicago man. He is a lawyer of large
practice and high standing, and has
had some experience in public life. From
1898 to 1900 he was member of the In
terstate Commerce Commission. He is
said to be not lacking in tact or in the
ability to keep his own counsel-and that
is an important qualification for the Chi
nese mission in these pi7ing times.

Sane and conserva sc progress in
river improvement was advised by Presi-
dent Taft in his speech to the delegates
to the National Rivers and Harbors
Congress in Washington. This was
doubtless disappointing to many of the
delegates, who went to the national CAPT.
tai with visions of big appropriations for
pet projects, but it will meet the views
of taxpayers generally, who are willing
to pay for genuine improvements, but
are 10th to enter upon doubtful projects
that may prove veritable sinkholes for
millions of the public funds.

attracted BY some household furoilure
on pavement, which tells a pathetic
story Of eviction and casts upon the

snnals of TIE poor. A comparatively
young mother with six helpless young

cold and rainy weather they have hud-
died together as best they could in bsre

MOVING YACHTS.

Notwithstanding the cool condition OF

additional fact that the wind sought

In the afternoon 1t was pleasure to
view the power and sail crafts returning

Joseph Moore, took s trial spin over the
mile course, near Washington, yester-
day morning aud made the rue In two
minutes and 30 seconds, or averaging
speed of "A miles en- hour. The "Try-
