ceoraia Fish Go on Spree.

Walter Taylor, city clerk of Atlanta, Ga, declares that the fish in South river should have the attention of the Humane society. They are being gross ly mistreated by the city, since the police began dumping blind tiger liquor in the sewers, he states.
 He said after a trip to the river with Oscar Cochran, manager of the city parks, that he found the fish in a maudlin condition, due to excessive use of alcohol. Most of them were in a disgraceful state of intoxication. and the ones that were not were fighting to get their share.
 He says the river is rapidly becoming stocked with fish from farther down the stream, coming up to get share of the liquid. And he adds that the inhabitants of the region are trying tc find some way to extract the alcohol without having to eat the fish, recogniz ing that the two don't go we'll to gether.

Where No Taxes Are Paid.

Happy and free from the worries of war taxation are the people of Lundy island, that little speck off Devon in the English channel, the liking" of which, Rev. Hudson Hetven, died a short time ago. The reverend gentle man administered the affairs of the island from 1887 to 1904, as his father, who bought the island in 1884 for about 5000, did before him. The inhabitants of Lundy number aboat forty and lead an uneventful life. They pay no saxes, are attached to no parish or union and have no poor. The island has a romantic and Iawless history and was once considered an excellent harbor and refuge for murderers. Bardsley island, situated in the Irish sea, off the county of Carnarvon, is another spot where the tax collector is unknown. There are about sixty peo- pie on the island, who elect their own king. The inhabitants are mostly en- gagged in farming and fishing. The island got it's name from the tradi- tion that it was the last retreat of the Welsh bards. In ancient times it had reputation for sanctity and to be buried on it's soil was an honor much to be desired. It is believed that more than 5O,O0O saints" gained this privilege.

Proposal of M. Brjeux.

Eugene Brieux, distinguished French academician and noted play wright, author of Damaged Goods" who was in America recently, has a plan for quickly repopulating France after the war. He urges the estab- lishmant throughout France of off, cial matrimonial bureaus under the di- rection of mayors of cities, towns and villages. He says:
 Many young men are willing to marry mOneyless girls, and many young girls are willing to marry poor or mutilated men, but the marriages do not occur because the men and girls do not meet. Special registers should be kept at all mayors offices where eligible young people can sign their names and give their age and profession, so that anyone desiring to marry can find life companion with cut difficulty.
 Since we agree today that the pres ervation of the race is the greatest and most sacred duty, 1t is necessary 10 give all help to those inclined to build new homes."

Supreme Court Changes.

There is not single member of the Supreme court of President HarrisOn's day now serving on the bench. Twenty six years is not a long time for con- tinuity of service in the lower courts. There are hundreds of judges appoint ed at the age of thirty-five who are still in full mental vigor at seventy, and not few cases of this kind are to be found in the lower federal and state courts. Even Chief Justice White, however, is able to point to q judicial record of only twenty-six years. He was appointed by Cleveland in February, 1894, and all the members with whom he was associated at that time have passed away. President Taft had the honor of appointing full majority of the Supreme court in the course of his four years in office. He appointed Justices Hughes, Van De vanter, Lamar and Pftney. President Wilson has already made two appoint ments-McReynolds and Brandeis- and now has another appointment to make. Despite all the changes that have taken place in recent years, more cases were disposed of by the Supreme court during its recent term than in any other term since 1890. A total of 547 cases were decided, while In 1890 there were 61O cases. There still re- main on the docket 522 cases.-ThOmas F. Logan, in Leslie's Weekly.

Holy Wac Instead of Wine.

Before Sonora de Riano, wife of the Spanish ambassador, christened the first warship ever built in the United States for the Spanish government and bestowed the name Isaac Peral on the submarine, there took place formal religious ceremony, and holy water was sprinkled on the ship. A prayer was read as part of this ceremony. Never before had a warship built at Fore River ship yard been blessed and christened in this manner.
 No spectator was more interested than were the members of the crew of the Peral, who had arrived several days before and who were preparing to take the ship to Spain under its own power Several hundred of the yard workmer also stood near by and cheered as the submarine slid into the water, amii the footing of whistles.

Grandmother Has Come Back.

For every summer, stretching back through the decades, always and al- ways there has been a new crop of summer girls with each succeeding summer The 1916 girl is not like unto the 1915 girl, and, again, the 1917 girl will be different from the 1916 girl. This last Is in the nature of prophecy, but it is safe and sure prophecy. They differ, these successive outputs of sum- mer girls, but in a way that is less than skin deep. It is all in the clothes and the way of coiffing the hair, ac. cording to a veracious masculine ob- server who bases his conclusions upon a close range inspection of 20 crops of summer girls.
 And even in the matter of clothes and hair arrangement the summer girl simply reverts to an antique idea. The hoopskirt-the expanded crinoline-is the up-to-date idea, but also it is a re- naissance of period back fin the last century. When grandmother was a summer girl she was hoopskirt girl i; also she coiffed her hair carefully down over her ears. Grandmother has sim ply come back and she is just as sprightly and lovely as she was fifty years ago.-Baltimore American.

OUT OF THE ORDINARY
In the Great London Shows

Something out of the ordl nary" is remark that can prop erly be made of Howe's London Shows Consolidated which vii exhibit Monday, Oct. '23.
 The big circus has a reputa- tion for producing remarkable surprises in its arena until the public has learned that it can at tend an exhibition of the Great London Circus expecting to see something new and different.
 There is an unusual number of features with this show this sea son. It is difficult to pick the best. Some will like the trained wild beasts exhibition of the horse wonders. Others will pre- fer the Zanfrettas family, Mere dith Troupe, the riding Lowandes, the Glasgow Royal Horses, the Elite Troupe, while some will spend most of their time laugh ing at the host of clowns, listen ing to the Julius Winslow fam ous band, enjoying the races, admiring the animals or betting the beautiful Dublin Prize Horses. No matter which way one looks under any one of the Howe tents, he is sure to see something out of the ordinary.
