AS evidence that persistent hunting
and fishing which prevent nesting or
spawning are destructive of bird and fish
life, the New York Times states in re-
gard to the slaughter of the sturgeon
that key OF caviar weighing 135 pounds
that cost $12 in 1885 was worth $40 in
1894, and 500 in 1900, and quotes an
authority on the subject who states that
in 1899, at Bayside, New Jersey, ninety
six sturgeon were sold for $3923, or for
over $40 each. Later figures would be
still more interesting, as the sturgeon has
become scarcer during the past decade
owing to the persistent taking of caviar.
The fish was once plentiful in the waters
of the Great Lakes, but it is no longer
common as smoked fish on the free lunch
counters, because smoked sturgeon and
caviar have both advanced to the plane
of costly luxuries.

The Los Angeles report that scores
of persons in that city have been made
ill by strawberries from Japanese gar
dens near Gardena, upon which power
full solution was used to destroy worms
that appeared on the vines early in the
season, should warn gardeners every
where TO refrain from using poisons on
fruits or on vegetables that are eaten
in raw state, as salads. The busting
of potato vines with poisonous powder
that destroys the potato Deetle is harm
less because the tubers are under the
soil. but the use Of poisons on tomatoes
and small fruits is dangerous, as has
been eonspicuously shown in the Los
Angeles poisoning.

Good Hard Soap.

Put five pounds of grease over the
fire and as it melts stir in quarter
of pound of borax. When this is dis
solved and the grease is little more
than lukewarm, turn into the kettle
slowly can of patent potash, dis
solved in quart and a pint of salt
water. Stir steadily until all the in
gradients are thoroughly incorporated,
and you have smooth, thick paste.
Turn into molds, and when firm these
should be cut into cakes.

Now that the great cities of the world
are warning against the rat, it is inter-
esting to note that a market has been
created for his skin. In London alone,
it is said, ratskins are bought to the
value of 100000 a year. They are
used for bookbinding, photograph
frames, purses, and the thumbs OF la
dies gloves. In Denmark, so says
consular report, rat-catching has become
a source of revenue for men otherwise
unemployed, who derive from the busl-
ness a revenue of 70 to 80 cents a day.

The Harvard oarsmen have decided
not to go to England to race with the
Oxford crew. 1t is difficult to hold a
crew together long enough FOR an event
of that kind, and moreover there is a
lack of enthusiasm on the other side of
the water which gives an atmosphere
of intrusion to a journey after rowing
honors. 1t can be said in addition to
this that international athletic contests
are rarely satisfactory because the Wis
itors are handicapped by climate to such
an extent that victory is doubtful even
for the best crew or team. There
is enough climatic difference between
the east and west, even in the United
States, TIC make contests unsatisfactory
TO touring athletes.

Egg Test.

Take a fat-bottomed dishpan, put at
least four inches of water in it and
drop the egg in the water. If fresh it
will lie perfectly level if it rises at the.
thick end in the least it is not fresh.
The older the egg the more it rises at
the thick end If it should leave the
bottom and swim it is not fit for any

The Legislature of the state of New
York has voted a pension to the widow
of Petrosino. the detective who was
murdered at Palermo by the Black
Hand. In New York city theatrical
entertainment for her benefit is to be
given on the End of next month. There
is a very general recognition that Petro-
sine was a hero who lost his life by
reason of his devotion to public duty.
Nothing but good can result from the
demonstration that the sacrifice which
he made is appreciated by the public
for whose good he made it.

A medical journel is quoted as saying
that is change of sound that benefits
mankind when busy workers seek the
country for rest. 1t takes the ground
that silence is tonic to people who are
overwhelmed with sound in their daily
life, and that sound is tonic for coun-
try people who are in comparative 81
lence most of the time. This is an indi-
rect argument in favor of the prohibition
of every unnecessary noise in cities, and
an argument which invites our country

The latest fad in the development of
luxury on transatlantic steamers is re-
ported from the Hamburg-American liner
Kaiserin Auguste Victoria, one of whose
stewards has charge of a garden patch
from which strawberries, lettuce, radish-
cs, ETC., are picked on order. The crops
of this garden bring high prices, the
Strawberries going at two dollars for a
small box. But it is not likely that there
will be a general adoption of gardening
on shipboard because of the excellence of
refrigerator accommodations on the av-
erage liner, which is never without the
earliest products of field and garden.

The capture of an American halibut
fishing schooner by a Canadian cruiser
which used her guns during the chase is
an incident of little importance. 1t will
be necessary for the captain of the
cruiser to show that the captured YES
sci was fishing in Canadian waters when
she was apprehended, and if he can't
do that his official head will go off, and
the Canadian government will have bill
of damages to meet. If the capture was
all right, the American fishermen will
bite their own tongues and mutter curses
over their i'll luck, as pirates of all kinds
do when they fall afoul of the law.

IMMENSE GAINS
SHOWN IN EXPORTS
Two-tl1irds of Twelve Billions
for lZ0 Years Exported in
Last Twenty Years.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S,-Twelve
billion dollars worth of manufactures
have been exported from the United
States in the last 100 years, $4,000, 900, 0Oo.
or .wo-thirds. of this enormous total
within the last twenty years, and
5000, 900, 900, or one-half, in the last
eleven years. The first years record
of the foreign mere of the United
States under the present form of gov
ernment covers, of course, the fiscal
year 1890. and the termination of the
fiscal year 1909 completes 100 years of
comeroe.
The bureau of statistics has just com
pjleted its record of the of
the fiscal year 1909, and, combining 1t
with the accumulated records of for
eign commerce from 1883 down to date.
find that the total exports of domestic
merchandise of all kinds during the l20
years have aggregated SAC, 000, 900, 900, of
which $12. 900. 000, 600, or 20 per cent. were
manufactures.
The share which manufactures form
of our exports has steadily advanced
as the years ave passed. In the dec
ade 1790-1T99 manufactures formed 6.5
| per cent. OF the domestic merchandise
exported; in the decade ended with 1919.
SO per cent; in the decade ended with

1859, 16.5 per cent; in the decade ended

ade ended with 1909, 37.6 per cent. The
share which manufactures form of the
total exports thus steadily advanced
and averaged 26.1 per cent. during the
entire period.
