Foolish Aeasures That Have
Occupied Legislators' .
A CAUSE OF LAWLESSNESS
New Members Think Their Reputations
Depend on the Number of Now
Laws They Can Force to a Passage
Home Ridiculous, Others Absurd
A Cause of Lawlessness.
In tho yeiir IS'.i!) there wore enm-ted
In the t'nltrd States by the legisla
tures of the xcvcral StntM the enor
mous total of 14,1.7.) brand new laws.
Two years luter u Blmllar animint of
new lotHlatloti was added to the Hint
ute bonks. This Is exclusive of Con
gressional nnil miinicljuil legislation.
Thiiics havo come to snrh a push that
while "Ignorance of Ihe law excuses
no one," It in absolutely Impossible
for any human belnj? to keep truck of
the laws which affect him personally.
It Is probably a fair Bta tement that
every man, woman and child Ignorant
ly breaks at least one law, national,
State or municipal, every day of bin
life.
Ono cause of tho prevailing lawless
ness, then, Is tho fact that we have
too many laws, and that these laws
uro Increased In number with every
year.
Especially are the Slate legislatures
prone to unnecessarily add to the size
of the statute books. New State Sen
ators and members of tin; Legisla
tures seem to feel lh.it their reputa
tion depends on the number of laws
they sm ccod in forcing to passage.
This feeling often leads to the Intro
duction of most absurd ar.d ridicu
lous hill, and lenda to make all the
State legislatures and their members
appear ridiculous in (lie eyes of the
public And tho public is not likely
to greatly rcr-pert the proceedings of
legislators whom It looks at with
contempt and laughter.
Two years ago, for instance, the
Legislature of Michigan gravely dis
cussed and spent much time and pub
lic money In the consideration of a
bill to prohibit the printing of hotel
menus In any language other lhau
Knglish the statcsmeu of Kansas de
bated a bill to make the wearing of
corsets or bloomers an offense against,
tho commonwealth; the Legislature
of Indiana had before it a bill to es
tablish a new mathematical truth
the squaring of tho i irole; up in Min
nesota it was proposed that a rod
light should bo kept burning before
every salncn, with the word "Din
ger!" emblazoned upon it; Pennsyl
vania proposed to force every man o
pay for his own drinks, and it was
actually proposed In the Senate of an
other State that every druggist offer
ing patent medicines for sale should
have posted In his store an allidavit
setting forth that he had personally
taken at le;ist one bottle of each rem
edy so offered for sale and that he
had experienced no deleterious effects
therefrom.
Rut the most nmuBing case of all is
that which conies from the Legisla
ture of a far Western Slate. It is par
ticularly amusing because of the in
genuous confession of the member of
the lower house who was responsible
for It.
"I was anxious to show my indus
try by introducing some bills," he
Bald, "but everything I could
think of had already been
covered by somebody else. Two or
three times other members Just beat
me In introducing bills covering cer
tain points, and I was feeling pretty
discouraged. I couldn't tind anything
to make a law about. One day I was
walking along the street when I saw
a stuffed lamb In the window of a fur
rier. Now, it struck me that it might
have a bad Influence on the young to
see stuffed animals in show windows,
bo I hurried back to my hoarding
house and prepared a bill prohibiting
under penalty of a largo tine, the use
of stuffed animals for advertising pur
poses. I tell you a fellow can't bear
down too hard on the morals of the
young."
Some laws hardly less farcical have
been actually passed and spread upon
the statute books. Chicago Tribune.
America's Increased Importance.
Henri I.orel, professor In the 1'nl
yerslty of Hordeaux, recently wrote an
article for the Depecho Coloniale on
France, Kngland. und tho United
States, which has been attracting
much attention, lie assumes that
this country will henceforth bo with
out exception the dominant power
through Its ownership of the Puiinma
Canal and its possession of all the
Strategic points commanding the ca
nal. He assumes that tho United
States will henceforth stand as a pro
tector of the Dominican republic. He
argues that those Kuropeon nations
will be wisest which limit their rela
tions to this continent to a strictly
economic basis, lie opposes the
Idea of surrendering tho islands of St.
Pierre and Mlquelon to tho United
States, on the ground that such a ces
sion would mean the political death
f Canada, ns the United States
would then control all tho eastern
routes. Moreover, tho possession of
theso islands by France gives that
country a vuluablo diplomatic lever
for the arrangement of the fisheries
WHERE 8LAVERY STILL EXISTS
Morrocan Government Approves Traf
fie, and Sales Are Frequent.
In his article on "The Slave Mar
ket at Marrakesb," in "Harper's Mag
azine" for January, X. L. Itensusan
gives a vivid picture of this terrible
tralllc which goes on approved by the
Morrocan Government. He describes
the beginning of the sale as follows:
"Tho crowd at the entrance parts
to tho right and left to admit twelve
grave men wearing white turbins
and ellablas. They are t lie delals, or
auctioneers, and tho sale is ubout to
begin.
"Slowly and Impressively Ihe delals
advance in a linn to the center of the
slavo market, almost up to tho ar
cade where tho wealthy buyers sit
nxpectanl. Then tho head auctioneer
lifts t:p his voice and oh, hideous
mockery of It alii he prays.
"Now each delal has his people
sorted out, and the procession begins.
Followed by his bargains, ho marclies
round ami round tho market, and 1
understand why the dust was laid be
foro the procession commenced. Some
of Ihe slaves am absolutely free from
emotion of any sort ; t hey move round
us stolidly as the blindfolded lioibes
that work the water wheels in gar
dens beyond tho town. Others feel
their position.
" 'Twenty-one dollars twenty-one,"
cries tin! dclnl at whose heels the one
young and pretty woman who has not
found a buyer limps painfully. She
is from the western Sudan, ar.d her
big eyes have the terror stricken look
that reminds me of a hare that was
run down by the hound a few yards
from me on the marslns near my
country home last winter.
'"Why Is the price so low?' I ask.
" She Is sick,' says the Moor, cool
ly: 'she cannot work; perhaps she
will not live. Who will give more
In mil-1i a case'.'' "
Early Colonial Administration.
The theory ol colonial administra
tion ia the sevenlctnlh uud eigU
teculh ci'utiiric.i was summarized by
Miinle-iiuieu in the plirase, "Com
mercial monopoly is the leading prin
ciple of colonial inter -oiirse." Tills
was common to all nations having
colon!' s, without exception, l'assiug
over sundry minor, though important,
details, by which the colony was
made to minisli r to the individual
welfare of members of favored
clajscs, tiio monopoly was expressed
under two principal heads commerce
and navigation. 1 ndcr tho lirst was
cobiprised all exchange of merchan
dise between the coiony uud the ex
ternal world. The mother country
reserved to itself the right to send to
tho colony all needed supplies; nut
only o" its own produce or manufac
ture, but of other countries as well,
which must lirst be brought to it, and
reshipped. lu the name manner col
onial products could be exported only
to the mother country, which consti
tuted itself a commercial centre
whence they were to be distributed
to other peoples. Thus tho colonial
market was reserved to the home
merchant, and tho colonist, for bis
market, was limited to the mother
country. This restricted intercourse
was called the direct trade; while the
concentration iu the mother country
of supplies for the colonies, and of
colonial exports, whereby she reaped
the profits of storage, of handling,
and of tho commission of the middle
man or broker, was known by the
French word "entrepot." From "The
Wur of is 12," by Capt. A. T. Mahaa,

A ltultimorean who Is now iu Kome

thirty-two years old, would himself

Take a Look at the Wind.
Ever take a look at the wind? Can't
see It, you say? Yes, you can, Some
day when a gale is blowing and the
atmosphore Is cold, go out In your
yard, taking a nice, bright handsaw.
If tho wind is blowing from the north
hold the saw with its ends pointing,
ono to the east, tho other to the west.
Take the saw us If you were going to
cut the air upward and let the teeth,
which are on top, tilt it over till the
llut part of the saw Is on an angle of
45 degrees with the horlsson.
Then if you look along the teeth
of the saw you can see the wind pour
over the teeth as plainly as tho water
over a waterfall. Wilkesburre (Pa.)

REMARKABLE EXECUTION.
Russian Criminal Who Killed Twelve
Helps Hang Himself.
Some time ago a Russian criminal
was executed in St. Petersburg, lie
had, during the last two years, mur
dered twelve persons, tho last one
being a priest. Tho law did not show
this monster any mercy, but speedily
condemned him to death.
Stebljauskl was tho name of this
wholesale murderer, and ho hoped to
tho last for clemency. When the
death warrant was read and tho
keeper Informed him that he had but
six hours to live, he raged and swore
to revenge himself in the most ter
rible manner. After being left alone
in the cell the Hist thing he did was
to break his lamp, and, procuring
somo matt lies, ho set lire to the oil.
tho window and the entire building
In a moment the Humes broke through
was for a time threatened with de
struction. Fortunately, Ihe tire was
discovered In time und got under con
trol beforo much damage had been
done, but In the meantime a terrible
struggle ensued between the keepers
and the criminal, who had fortified
himself with an Iron bar, taken from
his bedstead. The llrst man to enter
the cell was knocked senseless, and
It was only after being almost suffo
cated with smoke that the prisoner
was finally overpowered. Next morn
ing tho execution look place. The
condemned man ascended the scaffold
with much bravado, made a thor
ough examination of the same, and
finally declared tho ropo was too
short. .
"I cannot get my head In the loop,"
io said, "and though It will cause mo
some inconvenience to wait I will
smoke a cigarette while you are hav
ing it attended to."
He lighted a c igarette and, t irains
to the executioner, made a speech,
pointing out the detestable In his pro
fession, and as a condemned criminal
iu Kussia has cirta'.n rights, no one
dared to Interrupt him.
The executioner, who was really e.
tenderhearted man, became visibly
affected by the moralizing words of
the murderer, and, turning to the
crowd assembled before tho scaffold,
declared that his cons lence did not
allow him to proceed or to t:iki a
fellow nun's lite, and he then and
there resigned bis position and de
parted midst the shouts of tho as
semblage. This caused great confusion
among the representatives of the law,
for where could they iu a hurry get
another executioner? Tin; ipiestlon
was, however, solved by the con
demned man, who declared that hu
would execute himself as soon as he
got through smoking, lie started an
Interesting convirs.it.ion with the
priest during the live minutes or so
which he had left, and recommended
that ho read Count Tolstoi's latest
book, which contains striking re
marks about tho relation of capital
punishment to the teachings of Chris
tianity. He then threw a kiss to a
pretty girl among the spectators
stuck his head in tho loop, and kicked
away the trap beneath his feet.

Trades for Clergymen.
One cannot ipiestlon the practical
good sense of the advice given to can
dldates for the ministry by a promt
neut Philadelphia clergyman in urg
ing them to learn some trade either
before or after their ordination. He
has examined the statistics of the
various Protestant denominations,
and has been appalled by the -number
of ministers who are without a charge.
He thinks that a trade would be n
good thing to fall back on In such
rases, besides standing the minister
in good stead in many ways while
still in the pulpit.
The advice is applicable to men
entering almost any of the learned
professions, but particularly so to
clergymen, who run greater risks, ai
parently, than any class of profes
sionals of being "laid off" from their
regular lino of work. Most of Hi)
large denominations have a fund to
provide for their superannuated cler
gy, but tho stipends awarded are usu
ally too meager to do more than pay
for tho barest nedessitles of life.

A Itusslan sailor, a deserter from
his ship, recently gave himself up to
a crew of Itrltlsh seamen on tho gu
ano island of Leone, eaying that he
desired to renounce his allegiance to
the czar, and to become u subject of
King F.dward. The ltrltlsh Bailors
were puzzled how to naturalize the
man, so thoy held a consultation on
the subject. Finally, after the Itus

Rural Delivery Growing fiapidly

and 151 Petition Pending at End
ol Fiscal Year
That the rural free delivery ser
vice is steadily growing in popular
ity throughout the country and par
ticularly in the vState of Pennsyl

statistical table preoared by l'ourth
Assistant Postmaster General I)e
Oraw up to the close of the fiscal
year on June 30.
On June 30 there were 151 piti
tions pending fri.tn the thirty-two
congressional districts in Pennsyl

rural free delivery system. Accord
ing to the statement made theie
are 1778 rural free delivery routes
in operation in Pennsylvania . show
ing an increase over the same period
last ye"r when there were only 1432
routes in operation, of 34C1 ront-.'S.
The total number oi petitions for

From all appearances the rank

publican Organization of Philadel
phia will have considerable trouble
this year iu securing transportation
for their sunmiti' outing. Both the
Pennslvania and the Philadelphia

no favors in the shape of pass.s
will be granted for political reasons.
Ti e following announcement was
issued Saturday by the Pennsyl
vania Railioad Company:
In conformity with the ustia
practice the Pennsylvania Raiboad
Company issued orders which will
result in a general shutting down
in the issue of passes during the
present Summer season. This action
lias been taken in view oi the large
volume or" travel which is moving '
over its lines at the present time, I
and which is expected to increase i
during July and August, and furth-'
er fact that the passenger depart
ment has made the customary re
ductions in rates to the different
Summer resorts."
Since Mayor Weaver has taken
charge of the destinies of Philadel
phia there has been so little cause
for the railroads to seek favors
from those whom they have beett
compelled to Fee for the past few
years. Conditions during the past

Keep The Flies Out.
As time for flies is rapidly ap
proaching, let every one be prepared
to prevent, as far as possible, their
action in disseminating disease.
Flies are voracious feeders eat
everything and while they do not
as a rule bite, yet they carry wher
ever they go many filthy matters
which they obtain by visiting dung
heaps and heaps of all kinds of filth;
then when they alight upon food,
they deposit this filth where it can
do the most toward propagating
disease. We cannot say that they
actually place germs within the
body, yet who is to say that in some
way they do not deposit such filth
upon the surface, where it may
readily be taken into the system,
and aid in causing disease. Hence
always keep food, whether on the
table or on the ordinary place of
deposit, so covered that it can not
be touched by flies. Screen the
windows, especially of the dining
room, and rigorously expel or
destroy every fly that appears.
It is highly disgusting to witness
the struggles of these insects on the
fly paper, aud occasionally one
escapes, and then at once alights
upon the nearest article of food,
where he may deposit some small
portion of the article used on the fly
paper. This may not be poisoned,
but it is not highly appetizing to
think of. Therefore keep the flies

Uame Laws Obauged.
Season lor Woodcock Opens October 1,
for Doves September 1,
The last Legislature made n num
ber of changes in the game laws
that are very important and will be
a suprise to many gunners. Hereto
fore the season for woodcock open
ed on July I, and it is a Tact that a
number ol local sportsmen, ignorant
of the law, made arrangements to
start out as usual on Saturday in
quest of the birds Their plans were
upset when they were informed that
the last Legislature changed the
opening of the woodcock season to
October 1, and imposed a heavy
penally for shooting any before that
time. Another provision of the new
law relates to doves. Prevously
there was no restriction upon shoot
ing them. Now they may be shot
only from September 1 to January 1.
The Husy Farmer's Wife
The farmer's wife hasn't got a
thing to do nowdays but watch the
setting hens, hover about the little
chicks, milk the cow:;, attend to the
milk, churn butter, feed the pigs,
look after the young calves, watch
baby, carry the water, make the
garden, do the cooking, baking,
scrubbing, clean the house, make
the beds, wash the dishes, wash
and iron the clothes and a few
other little things. Her days are
one long, sweet song in the spring
and summer time, and when the
sun goes down she has a few chores
to do, just enough to keep her mind
; occupied until about 9 o'clock,
wlun she- can go to bed feeling re
freshed and frisky. In the morn
ing she is awakened early by the
victorious screech of a rooster out
in the garden inviting all his fe
male friends to come in and have a
nip. A pleasant sound, one that
brings a smile to her lips and a
twinkle iu her eye abernit.

The proposed new law that will
limit a day's catch of trout to twen
ty five instead of fifty, will meet
the approval of the sportsmen who
have the interests of the sport of
trout fishing at heart. At the pres
ent rate it is feared that the fish
cannot increase.
