Shad In Danger of Extinction.

The annual report of the United States Bureau
Of Fisheries again calls attention to the fact that
despite artificial propagation American waters are
being depleted of fish, especially shad. The intima
ton that the shad is in danger of extinction is not
new; that the situation is becoming more alarming
year by year the reduced catch in the Potomac
every spring in recent years proves. 1t would ap-
pear that energetic and determined campaign
is necessary to bring the danger to the attention
of the legislatures of Virginia, Maryland, Della
ware, Pennsylvania and other States whose peoples
are vitality interested, or to arouse the Congress
of the United States to the imperative need of leg
is1ation if this delicious food fish of which the
supply only very few years ago was abundant in
these waters. is to be preserved. 1t would be a
crime to permit the shad to become extinct for the
lack of laws to protect it against improvidenee

The South still stood unchanged. No
revolution of industry. no breath of spec
ulation no plotting or building OF rail-
WAYS, no steam craft at her ports or on
her rivers touched or altered her hxed
order of society.
Some OF the first railways built were
built in the South. Her merchants felt
the impulse and saw the outlook of the
time as others did.
But no power from without. no altera-
tion of the world beyond her borders.
could change her economic and social
order so long as slavery lasted
There was no aristocracy in the South
of the kind men commonly think of when
they use the word.
There was a ruling race and subject
race; there were rich men and poor
among the race that ruled: there went
with wealth a certain ease and eNpan-
siveness of living, a good deal of quiet
leisure, an old-fashioned grace and
punctiliousness of manner which gave
to those who cultivated 1t an air of ex-
clusiveness and elevation.
Young men were apt to be arrogant
and to have their fling in the world Of
pleasure, and old men showed some
times a lofty pride of birth and position.
But there was little display.
Wealth did not in that agricultural re-
zion mean abundant money, but only
full store-houses. a well stocked stable.
an unstinted table. plain comfort. and
openhanded hospitality.
In politics the ruling race were as
democrsti as men of their kind any
where All white men had an equal foot
ing Of privilege there and an equal free
dom, though Offices fell as often to men
of position whom fortune had put at
the front as to men who had made their
way up from the ranks and men who
added ambition and initiative to ability.

The story reminds me or convefSauon once
heard in settlement house on the East Side of
New York. "A young physician, woman, was Civ
ing group of East Side women advice in regard
to health. Among other things she emphasized
the importance of sleeping in room with plenty
of fresh air. Suddenly, an old woman, with bright
eyes and color in her wrinkled face, spoke up with
spirit. 81 don't believe in such new-fangled no
tions," she said. "All my life I've slept in room
with all the windows closed to keep out the night
air, and the door closed, too. You can't make
me believe that draughts do anybody any good"
In herself, the old woman a strong argu-
ment in favor of her prejudice.
Very cleverly the physician made the Interrupt
tion point of departure to explain the wonderful
adaptability of nature even to habits that might
not in themselves be altogether wholesome.
once took an automobile trip through New
England. What most impressed me was the sight
of hundreds of mddle-aged men playing golf on
the many golf grounds that we passed. 1t was per-
fectly plain from the way some of them went at
the exercise, that they not having good
time at all and that they were doing sometn;ng
that they believed to be wholesome for them. or
perhaps merely fashionable.
At the time | wondered how much good such
enforced exercise could possibly accomplish.
And l also marveed at the wasteful expendi-
ture Of energy.
1t is appalling to think OF the vast amount OF
energy gratuitously expended in exercise nova
days What does it all mean? Surely, in itself,
it cannot be normal Where it is not spontaneous,
where it comes from an impulse, not from within
but from without, the results cannot be common
surate with the effort.
Fortunately the most popular form OF exercise
now in vogue among grown men is fairly whole
some. 1t makes no heavy demand on physical
energy nor does it cause great nervous tension 1t
involves easy walking, the breathing of fresh air
and association with country life, which has a
soothing effect on the senses and the nerves.
But, like many blessings golf is essentially
"a sport for the well-to-do.
Among ''the teeming millions of men" the mere
idea OF playing golf would be ridiculous.
And yet it is perfectly plain that the teeming
millions, as we'll the favored thousands, need
exercise. In multitude of ways the need is un-
mistskably betrayed. These include dullness OF
eye flabbincss OF check, and, in the middle aged,
superfuous flesh.
But does it follow that the whole world should
devote itself to unproductive sport, adc'ng tie
already great waste of energy?
Does the cause OF the general flabbiness lie in
of exercise be really due to the laundering way in
which we have developed our system of living?
Ito be concluded tomorrow.)

Pierpont Morgan conceived the idea that he ought
to take more exercise. The physicians made q

habits of life and decided that for Mr. Morgan. at

years he had taken virtually no exercise. His go

few years was supposed to be incura-
bic. For a great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease and pre-

stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven Catarrh to be a constitu-
