Whether the sailors were merely too
surprised to resist or because they rec

question. At any rate, as he descended
they hacked away.

FOOD FOR PLUToCRATs.
The Lobster Has Passed Beyond
Reach Of the Poor.

From the Portland Press.
Tho lobster has passed beyond the
reach of the poor and has become a
luxury only to be enjoyed by tho rich.
Every year the price Of Holsters adj
vances a few points, and even at the
highest price offered it is difficult to
obtain them. From Massachusetts
comes the information that were it
not for the catches in Maine and Nova
Scotia Holsters could not be had in
Massachusetts, for the waters OF that
state have been fished out. In 1888,
SO the Boston Transcript says, 1,74o,-
$50 Holsters of legal size were caught
in Massachusetts. In 1914, only 1913
were taken there. The opinion seems
to be gaining ground in MASSACHUSETTS,
that a mistake has been made in deal
! ing with the lobster industry. The
small lobster has been protected,
! while the large lobster. which is
| the one which produces an enormous
| quantity of young, has been taken
| This, it is held by some. is wrong:
| We should catch the small lobster.
| so it is argued. and leave the bigger
ones to breed.
There seems to be some virtue in
| this contention because tn spite OF
the loDSler Matching pIAnlS "aAA
tanned by the federal government
| fewer Holsters are being taken each
year, while the demand for them is
continually increasing. This, OF
| course, accounts for the high prices.
| It is also claimed that in planting
lobster fry the federal agents have
| made serious blunders. The fry have
been liberated in places where they
have been subjected to the attacks of
! other fish, and few of the Holsters
Matched in the government plants
have ever attained a size where they
| could look after themselves. The ex-
| perienced fishermen on the Maine
; coast have frequently called attention
| to the mistakes which were being
| made in lobster propagation and pres
ervation, but as frequently happens
| in the making Of laws. the opinions OF
sters and their habits have been fg-
nored, and the theorists have been
| the only ones consulted.
j If the federal government should
put q close time on Holsters for sew
eral years and arrange with the
Canadian government to do the same
| thing, it is reasonable to suppose that
| tho Holsters would increase and this
industry would regain something OF
| the magnitude it has lost. But we
| have no idea that such a plan will be
! adopted. It would be strenuously OPP
posed by the dealers, who now make
large profits in the business, and prob
| ably by the fishermen also, who have
considerable capital tied up In their fish
| ing gear. What has happened in
! Massachusetts. where few Holsters are
| now being taken, must eventually
| take place in Maine. and unless some
| radical step is adopted the time is
not far away when even as a luxury
| the lobster will become so scarce as
| to be beyond tho reach Of every one
save the epicurean Of the plutocratic
class.

Immortality.
From the Indianapolis News.


Argument over immortality, GER
tainly argument, the object Of which
Is to reach logical proof, is largely
futile. though some Of the greatest
minds in the history Of the race have
1abored toward that end. It would
perhaps be presumptious to say that
they wasted their energy to no pur-
pose. For though they have not
proved immortality-as jhow could
they-they have certainly made it
seem more probable.
But there is a phase Of the subject
that may possibly be worth think
ing about. Do those who profess a
belief in the doctrine really believe
it in a practical way?-do they ac-
tually have a realizing sense of it?
Belief in Immortality is as essentially
a part of Christianity as any other
article Of the Christian faith. st. Paul
had no doubt about it: with him it
was a conviction and the driving
power Of his life. st. Paurs Master
taught it in words which the world
has cherished for two thousand years.
There is nothing in His revelation
more important or vital. Belief in
Him necessarily involves belief in
'.the life everlasting" There can b no

The History Of Flanders.
From the Manchester Guardian.

From the Manchester duAf0l3os
No part of Europe has a moro ro-

over which the counts of Flanders
held rule for centuries. AS far back
as the first century of the Christian
era. when it formed part Of the Ro-
man province of Belgica Secund, this
region was distinguished for its In
dustrial towns-remarkable even then
for their large populations and demo-
cratic rule.
From the middle of the tenth to
the middle of the sixteenth century
was. however, the golden age OF
Flanders. 1t began with the intro
duction of the wooden industry by
Count Baldwin and the growth OF the
municipalities. Flanders became the
pioneer of the development Of civic

try's fame altogether rest. 1t was
the struggle of her people against
tyranny that wrote the name of
Flanders upon the pages Of the
worlds history.
noted warriors. bent on defending
their land and on guarding their
boundaries against the invasion OF
Frenchmen or Englishmen. The
Flemish people were Dred OF a ngnt-
ing stock, and the King Of France
came to learn that in attempting to
extend a despotic rule in Flanders
he had to reckon with more than
trained soldiers and knights of chiv-
alry, In the Battle of the Golden
Spurs, fought at Courtrai over SIX
centuries ago. the cloth weavers OF
Bruges. Client and Ypres routed and
destroyed the proud French horse
men; while at later date powerful
French army was again defeated at
Courtrai by Flemish burghers under
the leadership of Peter de Conyne,
master of the cloth weavers.
Indeed, until the country passed
into the possession Of the dukes OF
Burgundy. it's whole history was filed
with stirring deeds. Today, although
the name Flanders is applied to two
Belgian provinces, Of which Client
and Eruges are the capitals, it still
stands for an underlined stretch Of
country, which has been the battle
ground of Europe for centuries.
"The War in Flanders" was as FAM
lar an expression to British ears in

turtles as it is at the present moment.
and there is not an inch of ground
in that heroic country but has been
