SNAILS BEYOND THE LAW.
Their Civil Status in France Fixed by the
Council of State.

The civil status of the snail has been
decided by the council of state at Paris.
Last year the general council of the
Yonne department passed a resolution
that the snail should be treated as game
and so should receive the benefit of a
close season.
Gourmets rejoiced, for the future of
this delicacy seemed once more assured,
but the Yonne councillors forgot the
Administration" without which moth
ing moves in France. Their resolution
was forwarded to the project who sent
it to the minister Of agriculture.
The ministry pondered over it for
nearly year and examined all the laws
that touched on the question. This in
quiry has resulted in a circular pub
lished in The Bulletin de PAgriculture,
which declares that the snail is neither,
game nor fish, but only an agricultural
parasite" and as such can be destroyed:
at all times and all seasons.
The Yonne councillors are now think
ing of introducing a special law into the.
Chamber to protect the snail.

The launching of the non-magnetic sur
vey yacht Carnegie would be an inter
esting event because with the exception
of her engine pistons and cams, the pro-
Queer and the range CRATES, there is not
a piece of magnetic metal in the ship.
But marine engineers will be engrossed
by the fact that she is provided with gas
engines supplied with fuel by gas pro-
ducer. The statement that she is the
first ocean vessel to be equipped with a
producer gas plant is erroneous, however,
as a power boat in Great Britain has
been using producer gas engines for some
time. If the engines and producer OF
the Carnegie will give her a cruising
radius of 1000 miles at a speed Of six
miles am hour, on twenty-five tons of
coal, there will be an inclination to try
the producer and gas engine on a larger

THE HOME SEEKERS.

In the street of Bye-and-Bye,
Where the airships mount and fly,
You and l will go home hunting,
There are mansions in the sky;
You and I and Baby Bunting
Heavenward a home will try,
Where the landlords are good angels,
And no rentals make US sigh.
In the sky Of Bye-and-Bye,
In the heavens we will fly,
You and 1 star daisies hunting
When the evening shades are nigh;
You and / and Baby Bunting
Flowers of gold will find on high
Where the gardeners are angels
And no florists sell and buy.
On the planet Bye-and-Bye
We shall live and never die,
There is respite from home hunting
Many million miles on high;
You and and Baby Bunting
Dreamily will float and fly
Earth will be ITO LETT to others
In the coming Bye-and-Bye.

The House Of Delegates Of the Ameri-
can Medical Association, in session at At
lantic City, New Jersey, gave practical
endorsement TO a paper by Philadel-
phia physician who declared that the
use Of any sort Of preservative in foods
is harmful to the consumer by adopting
resolution declaring against the use
AFT benzoate of soda, or any other
preventative by the food packers who
supply the people of the United States
with the various canned and bottled
goods" This is in direct conflict with
the report of the special board of
referees appointed by President Roose-
welt after DIR. Wiley had ruled against
the use of preservatives. and will great
ly encourage those who are striving to
make the national pure food law what
it ought to be-a statute that will fully
guard the consumer.

The Coastwise Transportation Com
pany, one of the most persistent employ
ers Of sailing craft in the carrying of
coal along the Atlantic coast, has con-
tracted for the construction of two
S0O0-ton steamers to cost together in
the neighborhood of a million dollars,
to be used in the coal trade between
Philadelphia and Boston. The Coast
wise company has a large fleet of sail
ing vessels, which will doubtless be re-
duced to extinction when the steam craft
demonstrate their ability to deliver car
goes with scheduled regularity. This is
what drove sailing vessels from the
Great Lakes and put afioat upon fresh
water the finest steel freighters for their
particular service to be found anywhere
in the world.

More than She Could Bear.

Marion was a little American girl
of six years. For three months her
mother and aunt had dragged her
through the museums and art gal
leries of Europe.
She was made to look at the slip
pers of Marie Antoinette, the prayer
book of Catherine de Medici, hats of
Napoleon and endless numbers of un-
interesting Madonnas. These, her
mother told her constantly she must
remember, for when she grew up she
would realize how famous they were.
At last Marion rebelled She re-
fused to go to a world-famed mu-
scum. After much persuasion, she
yielded upon one condition.
"I'll go any place you like" she
said, eff you'll promise never again
to make me look at anything famous"
