FISHING SEASON
ONE OF DULLEST

Especial to The Richmond Virginian)
HEATHSVILLE, VA, April 25-
The fish trapping season along the
Potomac river. Chesapeake bay and
its tributaries Is almost at an end, and
most Of the trappers have lost money.
The present season IS the dulest in
years and every branch of the bust
ness has been crippled. The herring
and roe packing houses have done
practically nothing, and the competi-
ton in this line has been greater than
for many years. AS a result the
prices of shad and herring have been
high but with good prices the catch
has been so small that the fishermen
have been unable to make their ex-
penses.

Never Settled Questions.

The familiar saying that nothing is
settled until it is settled right eX-
presses only half truth. Questions
of general and permanent Importance
are seldom finally settled. A very
wise man has said that short of the
multiplication table there is no truth
and no fact which must not be proved
over again if it had never been prov
ed, from time to time" Conceptions
of social rights and obligations and the
institutions based upon them continue
unquestioned for long periods as postu-
lates in all discussions upon questions
of government. Whatever conduct con-
forms to them is assumed to be right.
Whatever is at variance with them is
assumed to be wrong. Then a time
comes when with apparent suddenness
the ground of discussion shifts and the
postulates are denied. They cease to
be accepted without proof, and the
whole controversy in which they were
originally established is fought over

Profitable Roses,

Roses, though generally admired as
The most beautiful flower, are not uni
versally recognized as the profitable
article of commerce that they really
are. Trade roses are grown in vari-
Gus parts of Europe, but chiefly at
Grasse, in France, and Kasanlik. in
Bulgaria, where great stretches of rose
gardens provide the chief supply of
roses for the markets of the world
The highly cultivated roses are useless
for commercial purposes, and both at
Grasse and Kasanlik it is the cabbage
rose that is chiefly grown-"the rose
of hundred petals" as they call it in
southern France. The Grasse roses
are used chiefly for pomades, soaps,
rose water, and such commodities, and
the demand made by the manufactur-

History Made by a Postage Stamp.

A postage stamp which played part
in history is told about by Nj. Bunau-
Vanilla in his book on the Panama
canal. The incident occurred when
the discussion over the relative merits
of the Panama and Nicaragua routes
was at its height Bunau-Varilla had
been working vigorously for the PAN
anna route, making use of the two
arguments of less cost and immunity
from active volcanoes. One day he
recalled that Nicaragua had issued a
handsome stamp, showing a volcano
in full activity. He at once sent to
the dealers in foreign stamps in Wash
ington, and obtained ninety of these
stamps, which he forwarded to the
ninety senators, along with bits of
paper bearing the words, postage
stamp of the republic of Nicaragua;
an official witness of the volcanic &C.
tivities of Nicaragua" The catastrophe
at st. Pierre took place about this
time, to deepen the impression of vol
canic danger. and the Panama route
was adopted by the narrow margin of
four votes.-New York Post.
