Law Must Be Obeyed.

I'VE are also going to see to it that the
law regarding coal certificates is obeyed.
This law requires every dealer to make
out q certificate giving the gross weight
of the coal and wagon. the weight of the
wagon, and the net weight which should
be the weight of the actual fuel. This
certificate Is sometimes made out care
lessly. and that is what we want to put a
stop to-"
Col. Haskell has reported to the Com
mfssfOners two special cases wherein deal
ers have been fined an aggregate of $3.50
for short-weight coal and noncompliance
with the law regarding certificates.
In one of these cases Leo Schoenthal,
assistant sealer Of weights and measures.
reported that he had weighed four con-
signments of coal from the firm. The re-
port from him says that in each instance
the weight was less than that set down
In the certificate. and that the certificates
were not duly executed as required by
law, inasmuch that they failed to show
the gross weight of the coal and vehicle
and the weight Of the vehicle alone"
The four consignments were short, re-
spectively, $50 pounds. $40 pounds, 62h
pounds and 32E pounds, according to the
report by Mr.. Schoenthal. Col. Haskell
said today that it was hard and thank
less task to stop coal cart on the street.
lead 1t to an official scale and reweigh
the whole business but that his crusade
for full weights would have to include a
lot of hard work of that sort.
The firm in question was 1ned $3.50
after disclaiming any personal knowledge
Of the weight of the four consignments.
The Commissioners have also today re-
cefved Col. Haskells report in another
case. Sam Lee, a Chinese laundryman
at 2127 Pennsylvania avenue northwets,
had ordered ton Of chestnut coal. Mr.
Schoenthal intercepted the wagon on the
street. took 1t to a recently tested scale
and weighed it, wagon and all. Later,
when Sam Lee. refused to accept it be-
cause Of a dispute over the price of stow
ing the coal, Mr.. Schoenthal had the coal
dumped out and the wagon weighed. Ac-
cording to him there was a shortage Of
13O pounds. Judge Pugh heard the case
and fixed fine of $50.

The increase In the patrol Of the

Was World Better OFF Under N.ro9

From the London Saturday Review.
Three hundred and twenty thousand
soldiers were enough to guard Che riy-
er frontiers and to keep the Deace.'
to patrol and police from che:tef 10
AsSouan, from Tangier to the Eu-
pirates. No popular risings ever sought
to upset the Roman protectorates or
even to alter it's fundamental laws.
The secret lies probably in this: A
society, certainly as a whole quite as
civilized, as refined, as we'll cat
as our own today, had reached by a
sort of tacit covenant a sociaIistic
constitution which gave it entire sat-
isfaction. There were other interests
than the petty duties of self-govern-
ment; the idle man, like Ovid or Hor-
ace, rejoiced in his leisure and wrote
verses; the buzz, c.2n sought a post
in the emperor's service, whether mil
itary or civilian, and rose by certain
stages of promotion to influence and
wealth; the rich patron of a borough
could exercise his liberality in building
in his native town, In feasting the
guilds and in enjoying his irresponsi-
BILE yet pleasant precedence; the client
and slave knew that while In theory
the old father-right n despotic fam
lily usage left them unprotected. the
emperor would step in to avenge any
grievous wrong; the philosopher and
the Christian missionary could travel
tither and thither without passport or
peril to carry his message Of warning
or consolation.
When the ask of government and
police was so willingly taken UP by the
emperor and his men, why should any
one interfere with the scheme so adj
mirable, q division CT labor so entirelv
in favor of the subject class?

BEAVERS BUILD BETTER
DAM THAN ENGINEERS
Lake They Have Formed at
Stanhope, N. j., Enhances
Value of Cottagers' Property.
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
Beavers have just finished making a
lake at Stanhope, N. j.. n ~cottagers
who went down there for Thanksgiving
report that the addition has so beauti-
fled the landscape that their property is
worth at least so per cent. more than it
was at the end of the summer vaca-
ton.
They had themselves tried to do
something in this line of Improvement,
but the project on which they prided
themselves a few months ago was q
pigmy affair by comparison, and every
cottager now takes off his hat to the
superior skill of the paddle-tail artists
who have been at work.
Plans TO make an Arcadia of STAN
hope included a large sheet of water in
place Of the half acre puddle which the
beavers had ~impounded by means of a
dam. Everybody Clipped in to pay
landscape engineers to go there and lay
the thing out.
Expert opinion was unanimous that
the beavers had shown good Judgment
in locating the dam n that the de-
sired result might be obtained by erect
ing a higher barrier on the same site.
SO the beaver dam came down to make
room for an ornate structure of stone
and concrete. The bill was large, but
the summer colony thought the i'm
proyement worth the money.
While the cottages remained open the
beavers lay low, but as soon as they
We're closed work began ON another
beaver dam below the creation OF the
engineers. 1t had to be higher to hold
the overflow and in SO building it the
human dam was gradually submerged.
There is now two feet of water over it.
The new beaver dam, however, has
unclaimed enough water to make a real
lake, while the engineers had provided
little more than an ornamental pond.

To ARRANGE Flowers.

Here are FIVE golden rules which
should be observed by those who often
arrange flowers. Use plenty of foliage.
Put your flowers in very lightly. Use
artistic glasses. Do not put more than
two or, at the most, three different
kinds of flowers in one decoration.
Arrange your colors to form a bold
contrast or, better still, a soft har-
mony. The aim Of the decorator should
be to show off the fowers-not the
vases that contain them; therefore the
simpler ones are far preferable to
even the most elaborate. Glasses for
a dinner table should be either white.
a delicate shade of green, or rose col
or. according to the flowers arranged
