Rabbits in District of Columbia.

'Anacostia and the southeastern
suburbs of the District are overrun
by rabbits, and unless the Police De-
partment overlooks some Of the po-
lice regulations and gives the resi-
dents permission to fire a few shots
into the swarms of animals it is
feared the vegetation will be de-
stroyed
Until November I the police game
regulations prohibited the shooting
of rabbits and exposing them for sale
or having them in possession, thus
protecting the animals which have
caused so much havoc. Another po-
lice regulation offers them additional
protection,
The regulations stipulate that no
gun or pistol can be fired in any Sec
tion of the District within 500 yards
Of the public road, school, church or
residence. In certain sections of Con-
gress Heights only can a location be
found that is 500 yards from a resi-
dence. AS the rabbits do not frequent
this section, but confine their habita-
ton to the more densely populated
quarters, the police cannot give a per-
NIT to the residents to fire it the al

Adventures of Stolen Money.

To avenge himself IN a bank which
he held responsible for the loss of his
savings, Louis Teodule Lelongt, q
Paris bootmaker, entered the service
of one of the partners in the bank and
succeeded in stealing $4,000. He
placed this money in an iron box.
which he concealed in his mother-in-
laws vault at a cemetery and fed,
after informing his wife and step
daughter.
At length he became tired of con-
cealment, gave himself up to the po-
lice and confessed all. When the
police searched the vault they found
the box gone, and Nine. Lelongt ad-
mittei that she had removed 1t to her
sisters house. The police fastened
thither and recovered the box, only
to discover that it was empty. They
have now ascertained that the STEP
daughter took the money, which was
in notes, from the box. and sewed the
notes into the lining Of her %petticoat.

The Shelley Legend.

Most Englishmen, then frightened
by the Terror, thought that Atheism,
Republicanism and what we now call
Free Love were all symptoms Of a
new kind of wickedness which threat
ened to destroy society. They were
only too glad to make an example Of
Shelley as a monster in whom all
these symptoms were united; while
he himself, condemned as consistent
in vice, was the more firmly convinced
of his consistency in virtue. After
his death, when the fears caused by
the French Revolution died away and
his music began to enchant the world,
the old legend of a Shelley with horns
and a tail gave way to a new one of a
Shelley with wings and a halo. This
has been accepted even by his de-
tractors. and Matthew Arnold made
skilfulS use of it when he called him
a beautiful and Intellectual angel,
beating in the void his luminous
wings in vain. I am not pre-
pared to emasculate him thus. I
treat him as a human being. and try
to prove that he was one, interesting
because of his very imperfections. be-
cause of the c~easeless struggle Of his
not omnipotent will 1 have
criticised him freely because I believe
that all men, even the greatest, are
imperfect in all things, and that I'M
less we understand the nature Of their
imperfection we cannot understand
the nature of their greatness.-Mr.

WANTED THE VALUE KNOWN.
Shipper Didn't Object to Having the
Girl Know What Gift Cost.

A young man brought a package
into the main Office of an express COM
pany on lower Broadway the other
day and asked the receiving clerk to
send it to a town upstate.
The clerk weighed the package and
than asked the young man If he de-
sired to declare the value Of it. The
young man said he would and put the
figure at SIS. Then the clerk marked
in a corner Of the package in very
small letters, "V75."
The young man asked the mean
ing Of "V75."
"That Is the ~abbreviation of value
$75," said the clerk.
"But why do you print it in such
small letters in an out of the way
place."
Because most folks do not care
to have the value marked in letters
that will attract attention" replied
the clerk.

an ordinary package I would not
care" said the young man, but the
truth is that this is a present I am

Spells Of South Georgian
Waters.

The island of South Georgia, lying
Just outside the Antarctic circle and
about 500 miles east-southeast Of the
Falkland Islands, Is an important sta
ton for the Norwegian whalers who
work in the southern latitude. 1t
comprises 1000 square miles, has a
mean temperature of thirty-four de-
'grees Fahrenheit, is frequently visit
ed by terrific gales, and has practical
ly no vegetation. This unprepossess-
ing land is claimed by Great Britain,
and she maintains there a resident
governor in chargeaof the little colony
Of sixty persons. He Is authorized to
protect the seals, sea leopards, sea
lions, sea elephants and other animals
that are found on these coasts, but
the great number of whales that
abound in the waters of that locality
are fair game for the adventurous
seamen. Fourteen thousand barrels
of oil, valued at $3.50 600, were OBJ
tanned in four months time by three
steam whalers recently, and the en-
tire quantity has been sent to Buenos
Ayres in a storeship, or floating sta
ton, which accompanied the boats &C
lively engaged in the fishing. This
amount of oil represented a catch of
600 whales. + e.
The plant that has been established
on South Georgia Island is conducted
by Norwegians and has a capacity Of
200 barrels per day. From Buenos
Ayres, the usual destination. the oil
is trans-shipped to Europe and to
New England.
Narwhals, humpbacked, and right
whales are the species most frequent
ly taken, although a magnificent blue
whale that measured ninety-1ve feet
in length was taken by one Of the
ships. The right whales are the
rarest, as well as the most valuable,
for it is from them that the whale
bone Of commerce Is obtained. The
name fright" was given them to des-
ignate which were the proper ones
to search for. Their bone is valued
at $500 a ton, while the fiuted tusk
of the .narwhal brings $4,000. The oil
has a ready market at $40 per barrel.
In addition to theregular wages, each
man engagedinth the whalingindustrya at
South Georgia Island receives a bonus
of half a cent on every cask OF Oil.
This is an acceptable present when II
Is considered that the average yearly
product reaches 10000 barrels

THE PRICE OF PEACE.
Its Victories More Expensive Than
Those of War.

Peace has her victories no less re-

ties. Last year the United States.
England, Germany and France spent
$1,000 00,0 900 on their armies and
navies. Since the war with Spain we
have increased our own naval and
military appropriations by $1.072,-
100000. This year seventy-two per
cent. of our aggregate national rev.
enue will be expended in preparing
for war, and on account of past wars.
During the present fiscal year we
have expended over $110,000.000 on
the army and land defenses. and over
SOC, 900 or the navy and naval
defenses. -
Only t~wenty-eight per cent. Of our
national revenue is available for ma
tional administration. And it must
be remembered that we are just be.

Subordinate Themselves to Fashion.

Charles Bruce Winston, an English
who has left the stage to take
charge Of a dressmaking firm, says
that women make the great mistake
of subordinating themselves to. fash
ion instead of binding fashion to
!. their chariot wheels" Actresses, he
thinks, are the best dressed women.
because, while they sometimes over
dress, they at least study what suits
them and pay attention to "those tiny
and apparently Insignificant points
which make the difference between a
charmingly and a badly dressed
woman"
The stage, he thinks, has a great
effect on dress, but the good is often
nullifed because the woman who tries
to copy the dress she has seen on the
stage has failed to mark the details.

dress is a failure.-New York

The Morgan Horse.

The Morgan Is the horse that made
Vermont famous. In the history OF
the Green Mountain State the name
of Justin Morgan ranks almost as
high as that of Justin Morrill,, which
is saying a great deal.
But fashions change in horses as in
everything else, and for a time 1t
looked as though the Morgan was
slipping into obscurity, and that there
was danger of the entire loss of the
pure Morgan type. Happily this has
been averted, partly by the aid of the
United States Government, and at
the White River Junction Fair the
200 animals entered in the Morgan
classes included many which would
be recognized at once as true descend
ants of the founder Of the family.
No breed of horses ever surpassed
the best Morgans in their concen-
trated combination Of endurance,
pluck and power. A strain of the
blood is valuable in a trotting pedi-
gree as indicating the stamina which
should accompany speed. 1t was
shown at the Vermont fair that
proper handling is all the Morganx
need to make them successful as show
horses. But their great value, and in
this respect it is not probable that
they ever will be surpassed, is rs the

MARRIAGE rs POPULAR.
But the Wonder is That Nine-tenths
Of Them Still Hold Good.

Answering the query, Why so many
divorces? Life offers six answers:
First, because of the decline Of an
thority. Everybody in the country
wants to be his own boss, and Is so,
as far as possible. Nobody wants to
obey unless obedience matches in
clination. Second, because there are
so many mora ways than there were
a generation. age for a woman to
make a living. Third, because the
price of living is so high. Men aban-
don their wives in shocking numbers
because the job Of maintenance Is
heavy and they get tired of 1t. FOURTH
because women require much more
and give less than they did a genera
ton ago. They have been carefully
endowed by law in most States with
rights and privileges proper to indie
pendence. Fifth, because distractions
have greatly increased in American
life in a generation. Sixth, church
Influences, for the time being, are
weaker than they used to be- and
dramatic influences are more per-
vasive; church influences favor con-
tinuity in marriage; dramatic infu-
ences favor variety. There are plenty
more reasons, but six are enough.
The wonder is that, in the face OF
such convincing reasons as these
about nine marriages in every ten still
hold good. All things considered,
marriage seems incorrigibly popular
even in this restless and progressive
country. The united state being diff
icult and expensive to achieve, it is
bad business for those who have at
tanned to it to relapse back into the
condition Of the united.
