Yachtsmen in the east who have been
studying the provision of the Payne tariff
bill which places duty of 50 per cent.
on yachts that are purchased abroad are
quoted as declaring that the enactment
of the law will increase by 30 per cent.
the cost OF yachts of both foreign and
domestic build. This is not clear; but it
does seem reasonable to put tariff on
luxurious yachts, so that would-be own
erS thereof would have to build
them at home and thus assist in placing
the American shipbuilding industry on a
footing from which it might more nearly
compete with the foreigners in the pro-
duction of tonnage fol- the merchant serv-
ice. 1t has never seemed fair to compel
the vessel man to build at home and at
the same time permit the pleasure-seeker
to bring in tonnage from abroad free.

A Warning Example.

New York reports the first conviction
for violation of the new law enacted
by Congress relative to the number of
steerage passengers which ships NAV
carry to the United States from foreign
ports The master of the steamer
Giovanni, of an Italian line, took the
risk of carrying enc hundred and seventy
one passengers in excess of the steerage
quota fixed by the law in accordance
with her deck area and cubic feet of
between deck space, and his greed for
fares brought him before Collector Loeb,
who when the captain pleaded guilty
promptly ordered a fine of $500. an
amount large enough to make him think
of the American law the next time he is
taking on passengers in Italy.
This law is very important from
sanitary standpoint, and its rigid en-
fOrcement is therefore gratifying There
is a heavy flow of immigrants into the
United States from all parts of the Old
GRID, except when business conditions
are forbiddiag, and it is highly neces-
sary that conditions on shipboard should
be such IS will not contribute to the
spread OF contagion of any kind. SAM
tary science has prevented the Asatic
cholera from making its traditional tours
of the world, and has been successfully
coping with the bubonic plague, a disease
which is ever present in the Orient, but
garded as a menace, because of the open
ing of China, and the concomitant in
crease i'll business association with peo-
pie among whom the plague has always
had a foothold. The plague has been
checked at San Francisco and at Seat
tie by port precautions such as are
strengthened by the law under which
the Italian captain was punished.
The collectors at all American sea-
ports should enforce the law rigidly
BY so doing they will guarantee com
fort to poor steerage passengers who
once upon time were crowded between
decks in quarters that would not now
be accepted by shippers of cattle because
of fear of loss through sickness and
death. The immigrants who came on
the offending Italian ship We're not as
comfortable as they would have been
had the ships complement been in ac-
cordance with the law. and the captains
punishment will tend to make things
better for those who follow them.

Pruning Shrubs

As ornamental trees and shrubs are
pruned to aid in the production of flow
ers and foliage, the Towering season
necessarily controls the time of pruning
Many of the early blooming shrubs de-
velop their flowers the year before. and
with these heavy pruning should be de-
layed until Just after their Towering sea-
son, Deutzia, spirea, forSythia and many
other popular shrubs are of this charac-
fer, Soon after their Towering season
is over they tegin to develop buds for
the next year.
Shrubs needing heavy trimming should
he nruned in early winter. This will re-
suit in larger blooms on the remaining
buds. Such plants as the hydrangea.
and clematis which make their Towering
huds on shoots grown the same year
should be pruned heavily while dormant
as this will give q greater prOfuSion of
shoots on which to develop new buds.
When pruning hardy deciduouS flow

from the roots should be destroyed.

dacks has formally expressed itself in
favor of prohibition of the use of the
Maxim gun silencer except by the regu-
lar military establishments and duly au-
thorized officers of the law. 1t is feared
that general use of the silencer will in
crease poaching and other crimes. This
was remarked when the simple contriv-
ance was first exploited, and it is inter
esting to note the fact that the opinion
is rapidly becoming general. Cross bows
in olden times, and later the airgun, were
prohibited for the reason advanced by
the New York organization.

PANAMA AN OBJECT LESSON.

The building Of the Panama canal and
the sanitary record of the Japanese in
their war with Russia are the two great
object lessons of recent years, demonstrate
ing that men can neither work nor fight
to the best advantage unless protected
from infectious and preventable diseases.
The civilized nation which will here

a government which would build vast
fleet of modern warships and then arm
them with muzzle loading ordnance of
100 years ago.
An epidemic of typhoid fever in a mill
tary camp should be considered n great
er disgrace to an army than a defeat
in battle since defeat may come in spite
of the greatest eXertions and the highest

would be the result of Ignorance or
disregard of well known laws of preven-
ton. All nations will profit by the SAM
tary lesson of the Panama canal.
The scourge of yellow fever against
which the French struggled in vain, has
not been seen there since May, 1906, al
though 1T exists at several points to the
north and south of the canal zone. Blu
bonic plague has not appeared since Au-
gust, 1905, but that disease also has
broken out not far away. No case of
smallpox has been reported during the
year.
