No Support
 For This Bill No One Favors Measure Against Perpetual Oyster Ground Franchises
C0RBlN FOR LONG LEASES
Would Have Yale Scientific School Establish Station for Examination of Prop agation.

Hartford, June 15-Several bills deal ing with the shell fish industry were given a hearing before the commit tee on shell fisheries at the capitol yesterday afternoon. No one appeared to favor a bill introduced by Repre- sentative Chandler of Rocky Hill pro- viding that no perpetual franchise shall be granted upon certain ground designated in the general statutes up- on any ground within the exclusive Jurisdiction of the shell fish commits sioners.
 The measure further provided that the shell fish commissioners be em- powered to grant a lease of five years Commissioner w. H. Corbin favored long leases rather than the granting of perpetual franchises to individuals.
 There was no opposition to the bill providing that notice shall be given to the shell fish commissioners pre- from any oyster grounds, and that no substance shall be deposited in Long Island sound between sunset and sum- rise, under penalty of a fine of not less than s100 nor more than $500.
 Tax Commissioner Corbin explained a bill which authorizes the director of the Sheffield Scientific school at New Haven to establish station for the scientific investigation of oyster propagation and other ostreicultural problems.
 F. S. Beardsley, of Stratford, thought the appropriation asked-$S00- too small. Former Senator F. L. Ho- man expressed the opinion that scien- tific research should be taken up by the federal government.
 The only objection to another bill providing that at least one member of the shell fish commission shall be an oyster grower, was that the word oyster grower might be construed to bar from membership an expert oysterman, who might not be grow er The committee promised to amend the bill so as to overcome the objec- tion.

A Dignified Function.

George AIDE was out walking with a
guide in Kioto, Japan, when he OBJ.
served great procession approach
ing, and he paused while it passed.
The people wore gay apparel, and
carried banners with Japanese inscrip-
lions. Their faces were grave. They
were mournfully chanting to the &C.
compartment of tomtoms, cymbals
and drums. 1t was long procession.
AIDE took off his hat with due respect
to the unknown dead. Finally he
turned to his guide and asked:
"Buddha?"
The guide shook his head.
"Shinto?" inquired AIDE.
Again the guide shook his head.
"Was not that a funeral process

Glad at His viii.

A heart rejoicing in God delights in
all his will, and is most surely pro-
vided with the most firm Joy in all
estates. for II. nothing can come to
pass beside or against his will. then
cannot that soul be vexed which de
lights 5in him and hath no will but
his. but follows him in all times, in all
estatess not only when he shines
bright on them, but when they are
clouded. That flower which follows
the sun doth that. even in dark and
cloudy days. when it does not shine
forth, yet. it follows the hidden course
and motion of it. So the soul that
moves after God keeps that coursv
when he hides his face; is content,
yea, even glad at his will in all es.
tates or conditions or events.-Leigh

Universal Habit Of wastefuIness.

We have not yet organized ou- eco
nomic life with sufficient reference to
the poor. A French family OF very
small income can and will get
along well on a very small part
OF what an American family Of
the same size requires. We lack thrift
mot only thrift in the buying and the
use of food, but corresponding cheap
ness in growing it, in transporting it,
in marketing it,, in distributing it.
Waste-a habit of wastefulness. even
a universal habit of wastefulness-
that's our trouble; and it takes many
forms. The thriftiest poor family must
live i'll in New York on an income that
the eame family would live very well
on in Paris or in most continental
cities. The whole organization of our
life Is wasteful.

But one thing the steamship artists
generally do wrong. They point the
mouths Of the ventilators to wind

to leeward, being shifted as the wind
changes. The marine artists often

A curious legend is associated with
the name Of Alexa nder |. Of Russia.
1t is to the effect that the emperor in
1928 was sojourning in the Crimea.
When near Taganrog his coachman by
some means managed to overturn the
carriage Of a II courier named
Markof. who was killed. The en-
peror. wishing to rid himself Of the
cares OF state. so the story runs. caus-
ed 1t to be reported that it was he
himself who was killed. Then he car
ried out a plan which he had for long
conceived Of retiring to Siberia and
living there under an assumed name.
Schilder. the historian. processes to
have satisfied himself that at all
events the remains in the Cathedral
of Peter and Paul are those Of the
courier. Schilder asserts that he learn
ed this much from the children Of
Markof.
According to the legend. Alexander
/. of Russia died in Siberia in 1854.
but history records that he died at
Taganrog in 1898. 1t seems hat in
1922 a mysterious stranger appeared
in Siberia. He gave his name Us l'e

received generally with respect. In
1856 he accepted the Invitation Of a
rich merchant TO take up his abode in
his house ut Tomsk There he was
very retired and held communication
only with Mile. Kromof and the mer-
chant. her father. Every one who
saw him was struck with his ex-
traordinary resemblance to the de-
funct car. The Grand Duke Mich

he denied the sensational part Of the
