The Fishhawk's Warning.

The fishhawk tells us when the
shad begin to run up the river" said
a Gloucester fisherman. 1--WE have
learned that it isn't much use to cast
nets, no matter how mild the weather
may be, until Mr.. Fishhawk swoops
down on us.
when he comes sailing up the
bay we know it's time to get to work.
Lots of farmers down Jersey would
never think to start planting until the
fishhawks come. l don't believe they
have ever been later than April IL,
though. Thy work their way up the
coast from Florida and the other
Southern waters early in March,
when the fish begin to come north,
They follow the big schools of her
ring, as a rule, because the herring
swim close together, and the hawk
has easy picking. The shad follow
the herring, and when the fishhawh
comes we know the shad are not faI
away"

White Way in a Town of 1900.

The most remarkable example Of
street illumination that has yet come
to our notice, says the Illuminating
Engineer, is that of Winterset, Ia, a
town which boasts of population of
/ 800 and has a real white Way"
illuminated by thirty-nine handsome
cluster lampposts. This is at the
rate of one lamppost for every 400
citizens. At this rate New York city
should contain 10000 decorative
lamp standards. Taking Winterset as
a standard of public lighting, the ex-
tent of oportunity for the sale of
lamps and electric current for this
purpose in the other cities and towns
in the United States is something
whose contemplation will make the
central station dizzy.

LEGAL OPINION WANTED.
DIR. Kalbfus Seeks Advice on Bill to
License Hunters.

Secretary Joseph Kalbfus, of the
State Game Commission, has placed
in the hands of an attorney the mat
ter of ascertaining if bill providing
that the fees from licensing hunters
can be used for the protection and
preservation of game would be con-
stitutional.
The bill provides that the fees col
lected be used for this purpose. On
the other hand the Legislature two
years ago presented bill providing
that all money collected in the de-
partments be turned into the general
revenues of the State. Automobile
fees were at first used for good
roads, but are now turned back to
the State Treasury.
DR.. Kalbfus, in addressing the
Hunters and Anglers Association,
of Harrisburg, several nights ago,
spoke of the proposed license, which
will be one dollar for every hunter.
He referred to the alleged opposition
to the plan and said that if anybody
had a better plan, the commission
would be glad to hear it.
In speaking of the petition, now
being circulated against licensing
hunters, DR.. Kalbfus said
''It is an easy thing to get signers
to petitions. / do not believe that
ten per cent. of the signers of the
petition are men who go hunting
What would happen If the railroad
ers, for instance, went before the
Legislature with a bill and then a
petition, signed by lawyers, minis.
ters, draymen and bricklayers was
presented, protesting against the

The AmeeTs Venaeance

When Sir Charles Euan-Smith,
who died not long ago in England,
was in the market place of an At
ghanistan town he was fired at by a
native, He lodged complaint with
the Ameer, who appeared to take no
notice of the incident, merely remark
ing, That's all right" Sir Charles
complained again and met with the
same reply. He still thought that the
Ameer was treating a serious matter
with less consideration than 1t de-
served, but thought 1t advisable to
say no more on the subject. About
a week afterward he was invited by
the Ameer to ride with him. They
rode for some distance outside the
town and passed gibbet after gibbet.
At length Sir Charles said; Your
Highness has been busy OF late"
"Oh, no." replied the Ameer, they
are your little lot" He had taken all
the members of the would-be assas-
sins family and hanged overy one OF
them.-Chicago Daily News.

A NOVEL EXPERIMENT STATION.
Founded by Women's Clubs and Tres
Out Housekeeping Devices.


New devices and economies for
housekeeping will be tested in an ex-
pertinent station of the New Jersey
Federation of Women's Clubs, accord
ing to a report published in the Bos-
ton Common. The results secured by
appliances or methods which prove
to make housekeeping easier or cheap
er will be communicated to all the
women's clubs Of New Jersey, and
as that State seems quite unlikely to
be hampered by any of the prejudices
against labor saving machines which
keep the New England housewife
mixing her bread and cleaning her
floors by hand there is a probability
that the club members will become
the most up to date ana scientifi"
housewives in the country.
The idea of a housekeeping expert
ment station was first worked out by
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Barnard, who,
having moved to a suburban home
after MIR. Barnard's retirement as a
playwright and editor, found their
neighbors groaning under task
which they had solved. The cause,
along with the absence of gas and
electricity, proved to be the lack OF
knowledge of the various means OF
making work almost if not quite play.
For three years the Barnards have
given out the results of their tests,
and the eagerness of women in all
parts of the country to learn these
facts is evidenced by the letters,
which average fifty day, asking for
information or advice.

LONG SESSION OF ASSEMBLY.
Trying To Check Flood OF Bills At
CapitOl-SchOOl Code Has Right
OF Way.


Capitol-School Code Has Right
OF Way.
In an effort to check the antici-
pated flood of new bills in the leg
islature the attention of members,
and particularly new, ones, has been
called to the fact that a bill intro
duced at such a time receives less
publicity than if presented during
the week, when the rush is less pro-
nounced. AS the night sessions do
not begin until 8 o'clock there is
little time for the newspaper cor
respondents to scan the bills for the
next mornings papers, and conse-
quently some important bills do not
get the prominence to which they
are entitled. Passage of the bills is
not facilitated by getting them in at
the night session.
1t is said that the legislative lead
ers are in favor of giving the school
code the right of way, so as to have
the matter disposed of early in the
session, instead of postponing the
inevitable debate until the end of
the session. In the absence of a fix
ed date for adjournment some of
the members are predicting that the
session may continue as late as
June /. The last long session OF
this sort was in 1901, when the leg
islators remained in Harrisburg until
June 27.

Said Somethinu.

On board an ocean liner were a
lady and gentleman, accompanied by
their young hopeful, aged 6, and as
is usually the case the parents were
very sick, while little Willie was the
wellest thing on board. One day the
parents were lying in their steamer
chairs hoping that they would die,
and little Willie was playing about
the deck. Willie did something of
which his mother did not approve, so
she said to her husband, John,
please speak to Willie" The hus'
band, with the little strength left in
his wasted form, looked at his son
and heir and feebly muttered:
"How'dy do, Willie. e."-The Lyeeum
