hands the visitor a brass check with

Gold Lions of Pekinu.

Fronting the imperial palace at Pc
king are two gold lions of enormous
size which, if we are to believe the
mandarins, are of solid gold and have
been there since time immemorial
When the combined armies of Eng
land and France advanced on Picking
in 1860 the Chinese painted these
statues gray in order to make the
Europeans believe that they were OF
bronze, and therefore to insure against
their being melted. Later, during the
Japanese war, these lions disappeared
for a time but at the conclusion OF
peace they reappeared in their origi.
nal position. The value of these relics
is said to be incalculable, and they
are in native eyes a symbol of the
unity of the empire.-Harper's Week

A WASTE OF FISH.

There seems to be no doubt
that herring, regarded as one
of the most valuable food fishes,
have been Systematically sold by
the fishermen during this and
previous years Ito the fertilizer
factories. One of the grievances
of the fishermen appears to be
occasioned by the cut in price
offered by the factories this
year, which, as reported, was
only SIPS per 1000, as against
$500 per 1000 last year.
Surely there is a sufficiency
of demand in the interior of the
United States for all the herring
which come up from the ocean.
1t is practically impossible to
distribute these fish in a fresh
state, but they can be distribut-
ed when sailed and packed in
barrels. The fisheries say that
there is not demand that will
take the herring when sailed
at prices that are remunerative.
But, surely, this is because an
effective distributing agency is
lacking. Is it possible that in
these days of universal complaint
about the high cost of foods, a
barrel containing 500 sailed her.
will not sell in the first instance
at $3.50?
1t does seem rather waste of
effort that the national govern
ment and a half dozen states
should be artificially Matching
millions of herring to supply the
fertilizer factories. Perhaps the
equipments Of the hatcheries
would be put to better use in
producing white perch, striped
bass, pickerel and varieties that
are not migratory. And then the
fertilizer factories should he
prevented from making inroads
on the undergrown stock. -Ra1ti-

The organization was launched
in Decatur, ILL.,, on April 6, 1866,
primarily through the efforts of
DR.. B F. Stephenson and Chap
lain w. J. Rutlege of the Four
teenth Illinois Infantry, who in
1864 conceived the idea. 1t was
then not even as popular an
idea as that organizing veterans
of the Spanish-American War;
witness that it required two
years to float it.
The principal object was to
maintain and strengthen frater-
nifty among soldiers and sailors
of the Civil War, to perpetuate
the memory of the dead and to
lend assistance to the needy.
Any soldier or sailor who served
between April IL, 1861, and
April 9, 1865, and who was hon
orably discharged, was eligible
to membership. The organiza-
ton was divided into depart
ments representing the States
and Territories, with. 1000 local
societies. To this organization
was due the establishment as
a legal holiday of May 80, and
it's political influence has been
tremendous. Every elected Re.
publican President from Grant
to Mckinley, served in the Civil
War, and polled practically the
solid Grand Army vote. In 1863
a rule was laid down against
political interference, but while
the letter was kept, the spirit
bobbed up on every occasion of
important elections or legislation.
All the pension laws and the
disability act were due to Grand
Army activity.

War on the Hatpin.

The hatpin question received seri-
GUS attention in Munich after several
people had been injured by protudtng
points. One of the measures adopted
by the street car authorities makes 1T
safe to travel in them, no matter how
many long hatpins at dangerous an
giles it may contain. The company
warns it's patrons against the peril
GUS article of woman's dress and asks
that wearers of "protruding, sharp
points" be reported to the conductor.
When this is done, he does not order
the pins removed. but, addressing
the wearer politely, he says, ALLOW
me, please" and proceeds to attach
an ornamental guard to the offensive
point. women don't object to the
decoration, and if any should do SO
they will be asked to remove the
pins" says Munich letter.

Extremely Careful,

DR.. Armand Delille of Paris said at
the International congress Of hygiene
at Washington that tuberculosis was
not hereditary but exclusively con-
tagious. Hence" said DR.. Delille to
a reporter, Consumption may ,un-
doubtedly be eradicated; but to eradi,
cate it we must be careful-as care
full as the deaf mute who slept in
wooden mittens" "Woolen mittens?"
said the reporter, with puzzled
frown. well, I suppose, these chilly
fall nights, there is indeed some lit
tie danger of catching cold" "Oh.
no." said Dr. Delille, smiling. THAT
wasn't the reason the deaf mute wore
wooden mittens. He wore them SO
that he couldn't talk in his sleep"

Jouvenile Court

Every county in Maryland should
have Juvenile Court. Only one has
Allegany. Baltimore City has had
such court for number of years, but
it does not consider county cases.
Under the present law, children less
than sixteen years old taken into GUS
tody for any reason may be put in jail
1t matters not whether they be offend
ees or offended against, young thieves
or neglected children without proper
care or guardianship.
The Juvenile Court system aims to
do away with the necessity for deten-
ton, but where, because Of coming
from a distance or other valid reason.
the child must be held, it will be car
ed for in suitable private home until
the case is disposed of. Detention of
this kind could be arranged by COOP
GRAFTON with the Maryland Children s
Aid Society.
1t is cruel thing to put child in
Jail. The stigma of having been "be-
hind the bars" is hard to live down.
Then there is always danger to the
child in associating with adult crimi-
nails, even the brief intercourse of the
jailyard. Old hands at wronging
coached one 13year old boy in jail,
drilling him how to testify to his inno-
cence of charge to which he had al
ready pleaded guilty.
Every county has cases of youthful
offenders and neglected minors to deal
with and, lacking Juvenile Court,
it must be cases where a boy or girl
faces charge that seems too serious
to dismiss offhand. 1t cannot but be
a temptation to the perplexed official
to evade personal responsibility by
sending the case on to court for trial.
The fact that, under the present law,
the child must be kept in Jail in the
meantime seems not to have any weight
in the matter.
In one county five boys robbed a
bakeshop and had feast. They were
committed for court, the five of them
bundled off to the county Jail together.
There they were in close contact, when
the one thing indispensable was to sep
arate them from each other. One boy
was found to be feebleminded, one in
corrigible, and the other three needed
only proper home influence. In passing,
not the least of the Juvenile Court s
services to the public is bringing to
light such deficiencies as Predetermined,
ness, that the unfortunate child may
be placed in an institution where it
will be so trained that it will not drift
into delinquency and be an evil asso-
ciate for other children.
This is a sample of the kind of case
that comes up in the counties. These
should not be Jail cases. Children
under 16 should be tried as children,
not as adult criminals. Enlightened
communities everywhere are demand
ing the Juvenile Court. This county
should be in march of progress.

Present From Grateful Convert.

Present From Grateful Convert.
The walking stick Of General Booth
used on the last walk he ever took
has little history of its own. At
a meeting in Paris some time ago a
notorious Russian anarchist was con-
verted by the generals eloquence, and
soon after the latter's return to Eng
land he received from his convert a
piece of string, with the request that
a knot might be tied in 1t to show the
length of the walking-stick the gen.
eral usually carried. The string was
knotted accordingly and returned to
Paris, and little later this stick ar
rived in London, a present from the
grateful convert and the work Of his
own hands.

Curious Geographical Change.

A member of the Canadian govern
ment Alaskan boundary line survey
party mentions the curious fact that,
within five years, Canada will have a
new port opening through American
territory into the Pacific ocean This
is made possible by an immense gla-
cier which extends from tidewater
across our narrow strip of Alaska, at
Glacier bay, into Canadian territory.
1t is receding at the rate of more
than a mile a year and soon there
will not be a glacier, but instead a
we'll protected harbor extending back
into Canadian territory, the only har-
Dor in Canadian territory within hun
dreds of miles
