RULE OF THE SEA.

Old Whaling Law Applied to . Twice
Caught Cod.
That etiquette is observed among
the fishermen that journey to the fish,
ing banks was discovered by an ANA
teur angler on his first trip.
The amateur hooked a Goldfish, but
his line parted just as the fish was
above the water. Back fell the cod
fish. carrying with him two sinkers
and the hook.
Twenty minutes later another angler
cried out that he had captured a cod
with two sinkers and a hook The
amateur went up to the angler. who
appeared to be an old salt, and asked
for his hook and sinkers. which had
his name stamped on them. He was
surprised when the old salt told him
to take the fish also
According to the rules generally fol-
lowed on the fishing boats, the second
angler was entitled to the fish. but the
hooks and sinkers should be returned
to their owner. The old angler ex-
planned why he wanted to give up the
fish.
It seems that he had followed the
sea a great part of his life. When a
young man he was a whaler, and, ac-
cording to whaling law. dead whale

pears on the harpoon that killed it.
Therefore the old salt figured that the
amateur owned the Goldfish he had
taken.-New York Sun.

TWLNKLES
HER Vows.


Detroit Free Press.)
o many were the vows she made
In days gone by; I'm half afraid
To now recall them here;
we'll remember once she said,
NO man is good enough to wed;
The best man living here
I wouldn't marry. No sirree!"
She didn't. She just married me.
I'D never darn husbands socks
She said, such mental labor shocks,
Nor sew his buttons on;
Think you that l would stay at home
To cook for him, when l would roam
Such work frown upon.
That kind of toll, I'll never do"
She makes a splendid Irish stew.
Il could not be poor mans wife
To lead the stern and simple life,
I'd plunge him into debt:
I'd much prefer to single be,
My father will take care of me,
And all want l GET
That bonnet that she wears today
She trimmed herself to save my paw
Il don't like children, not at all,
cannot bear to hear them squat
And dread a dirty face;
Their table manners all are bad,
I'm sure I'd die, if e'er l had
A child about the place."
And yet, my goodness. how she flies
Upstairs the minute baby cries.

NAVAL RED TAPE.
Tho Resuit Of Having Neither Cefins
Nor Graves In Stock.

The Result Of Having Neither CefYins
Nor Graves In Stock.
A case once occurred. which Is
vouchsafed for by naval officers who
were present and who tell Of 1t as a
joke. showing the absurdities to which
-ed tape can 60. About twenty years
ago certain ship was in a foreign
port. One Of the men was taken sick
and on the recommendation Of the sur.
geon was sent to a hospital on shore.
The man finally died. and it became
necessary to bury him.
The simple and straightforward
method would have been to call In an
undertaken and have him arrange for
a decent casket and lot in the Gem
etery. This would be the usual proce-
dure with business man or ordinary
citizen. The regime Of economy aud
reform. however. would not permit OF
so simple a course. What actually &C.
CURED was this:
The surgeon made a reputation on
the paymaster for one coffin. Natu-
rally he did not have one in stock and
SAASA S4OAS ~ vas All -" 0ACu ~ lAC uCcI
paymaster. who also. not being In the
undertaking business. had no collins
on hand. Then the admiral directed
the feet paymaster to purchase one
coffin after obtaining prices from six
reputable dealers. The same course
had to be followed in securing the
grave. The surgeon made requisition
on the payhaster for one grave.
Strange as it may seem. the paymas-
ter had no graves in stock. Neither
had the fleet paymaster. Consequently
the commander in chief directed the
fleet paymaster to procure bids from
six reliable dealers in graves and pur-
chase one from the lowest responsible
bidder.
All this, of course, is a screaming
farce. but It is the horrible example
to show what comes when common
sense and experience are set aside to
give room for the play Of amateur and
academic fancy.-Engineering.

Eular'a Wonderful Mannorx.


Leonhard Euler, who was born in
1907 and died in 1883 at st. Peters
burg. where he spent his life as a
teacher of great power and as a pro-
life writer. was an instance Of the
genuine mathematician endowed with
almost superhuman powers. He left
more than 200 manuscript treatises on
his favorite subject, and the bulk of
the works published by his academy
between 1927 and 1888 were from his
pen. In his old age he was totally
blind. Then he carried in his memory
a table OF the first six powers OF the
'series Of natural numbers up to 100"
1t is related that on one occasion
two Of Euler's students attempted to
calculate converging SERIES As they
advanced they found they disagreed
in the result by unit in the fifteenth
figure. The question was referred to
Euler, who decided to make the calcu-
lation. He did this mentally. and his
result was found to be correct.-New

KIDNAPPING VOTERS.

Once a Regular Feature Of Political

In England a generation or two ago
kidnapping was a regularly recognized
feature Of political warfare On the

strange tales Of forcible seizures, mad
races across country in post chaises
driven by yelling positions. followed
by longer or shorter terms Of gilded
Imprisonment in great mansions. where
they were wined and dined in sump-
tuous style and treated right royalty
In every way. only their liberty being
denied them.
Quite humble voters. too. were forci-
bly, abducted. but these did not always
fare quite so well. Thus one victim
made complaint before Z magistrate
that he had been decoyed from his
house by q ruse and kept shut up In q
coal hole for three days.
Wholesale kidnapping Of voters in
patches. too. was not unknown, the
process being rendered easier by the
custom Of candidates paying, the trav-
cling expenses Of their electors to and
from the polling places.
For instance, at q certain Newcastle
election a whole shipload OF freemen
Of the borough. dispatched from Lon
don by sea. were taken by the cap

to Ostend and there left stranded.

THE MARK OF THE BASTARD.


No doubt it is the spectacular which
arouses human interest and sympathy
Perhaps it was that which has forced
us all to take an interest in the Robin
the Mother Robin who SO bravely
made the trip on the freight car with
her young. And perhaps after the per.
son with the yellow streak had killed
that brave little bird--it was still the
spectacular that warmed the hearts of
those who fed the small fledglings.
But when the bastard whom some still
| recognize as a man. killed the fledg-
lings too-.Oh. 1t is not the spectacu.
lar nor the mere sentimentality which
has made vows of vengeance and in
dignation rise in the minds of strong
men.
The dog poisoner. the drivers Of
spawned horses are not far removed
from the kidnappers, the assaulters
of children and all other forms of ami
mails which masquerade in the guise OF
men. The Yellow Streak-the white
cappers-the torturers of old women
and old men for their money, and
those who Turk and lie in wait for
their prey after the days work is done
and the electric lights shine full ana
strong and pitiless. All these.
And 1t is such one who killed the
Mother Robin and the Fledglings in
the freight yard.
All these.
Those hyenas and jackals-the spawn
of mankind who through some terri
BILE perversion of the basest sort have
been depraved beyond all feeling
these men-and others-what will you
do with them? Think you a fine-an
admonition-a sentence for term Of
years-what do these avail:
No. they run loose on the face and
breadth of the land poisoning all that
is good and pleasant to have in life
they enter in In the guise of friends
and would do worse than murder had
they the courage even OF their villain
GUS minds.
All these!
For them it were better that the
brand of mutilation should be placed
on them that all the world might
know. And like the leper of old. let
them cry from their near exile from
society.

FLY TIME ADVICE.

We have remarked that fly time is
at hand, and we have tried to impress
on the Butler County public the fact
that fly time is time of danger-a
time when special precaution ought
to be taken.
The time has passed when human!-
ty can indolently regard the house

annoyance, but he is a deadly peril.
too-the most potent dissemination of
disease that we know.
Health Commissioner Evans of Chi
cago, in his weekly bulletin yester-
day. devoted considerable space to
the fly. He set out number of SIM
pie rules that will aid the public IN
overcoming the peril of the house fly
to human health. These rules re-
quire little diligence-that's all.
You can carry them out If you will.
but take the trouble. They are worth
preserving and religiously following.
Commissioner Evans says
Death turks on the feet and wings

science must come to the aid of the
people to fight the disease that travels
from the sick rooms to the cribs of
babies on these flies. In the war on

formula for a poison that will kill the
flies and not endanger human life

sweetened. is the cheap and effective
method of encouraging the flies to
kill themselves. There are other
sanitary regulations. though, that the
health report says ought to be exer-
cised Here are some OF the ways
suggested:
Screen your windows and doors be-
fore fly time.
Screen all food-especially milk.
Keep flies away from the sick-es-
pecially those ill with contagious d.
seases.
Kill every fly that enters the sick
room.
Catch the flies with sticky fly pa
pers. traps and liquid poisons
Eliminate the breeding places OF
flies-this is important
The following should be done:
Sprinkle chloride of lime or kero-
sene over contents OF garbage boxes
and other refuse.
Clean the can daily.
Clean the boxes every week.
Sprinkle them with kerosene or
chloride Of lime.
Pour kerosene into the drains.
