That ratio would, if adopted, increase the present membership by Pennsylvania would gain two seats, New Jersey two, New York three aud Illinois three. The net Republican gain would be twenty seats, against eight seats tor the Demo- erats. The representation in the House ought jio be reduced instead of being jocreased by twenty-eight additional members. The House is now so large that it has ceased to be a forum for re- asonable and searching debate. It is! ruled by t on rules, and three with the speaker at their bead lay down the law of its ac- tion. Only in the Senate 1s there free and unrestricted debate, and it should remain so, as the House is no longer representative, in the highest sense of the American people.

Io nearly every Con- | gress an : to the Constitu-| tion has been proposed to remedy this obvious irregularity and make the | House of Representatives more ex- | pressive of the popular will ; but as no | party interest was to be served by this | reform it has never commanded the requisite support : The ouly restraining influence on | which the country can rely under these conditions is the shortness of the | session. If Congress shall act with | any deliberation at all, there will be| scant time to reorganize the army and the navy, to provide for the construe- tion of an international canal, to vote | subsidies to steamship companies and | distribute local favors in improvement | bills, in addition to passing upon the eomplex annual appropriations and re- | vising schedule of war taxes All of these things are in contempla- tion and a hungry lobby isalready es- tablished at Washington for the promo- sion of the various schemes of draining | the public treasury into private chan- nels.

A, THE B 1G SEA TURTLE HOW IT IS CAUGHT BY GEORGIA COAST FISHERMEN. The Hunt Is Always Made nt Night and the Ungainly Creatures Are Brought to Grief Through the Use of Trick and Device, One of the favorite summer sports of the fishermen and marooners of Savan- nah Is turtle hunting on the sandy beaches of the neighboring islands, where from May to August the turtles come out to lay thelr eggs. On the long, flat stretches of sand the turtle crawls about 100 feet or more from the water line, and there, with her flippers scooping out a round hole from two to three feet deep, deposits hier often 300 or more, covering every or with a thin layer of sand, zml putting a final layer of con- ile thickness over the top of the nest after ber maternal duties are fin- ished. This final filling in of the nest off even with the beach making the surroundings as possible like the remainder ach, if undisturbed, crawls water with the pleasing of duty well performed and the lent conviction that in a short time her maternal heart will be gladdened with a pumerous progeny Even whe ! scapes with her life, however, f a family of ten disappois i, for turtle eggs are delicacy by nearly as tried them, and it eness of her product ing of the turtie's season of her lay- hit for continu- many of them found and contents, The method simple, Where the wind leading f@ iil and various poluts along the of a slender pest is dis- the re ady hunters thelr hands CEES, ob 80 shoe smooths ix near:y Le be to the is of t back Consciousness Copiid are un g the . for durin Nests are soug their very turtle are owed, are hey 0) tae “and with HOE pass ed al it alieaqa w in dd her noes her retreat $ Te unters secur fete £19 ver that dis and cornered valor i hen of escape.

Early Training In Fine Manners, Reciprocal courtesy has an influence in child culture not to be Ignored. Uniform politeness and graciousness shown to children by thelr parents and teachers and unvarying politeness ex- meted from them in their companion ship with sisters and brothers and with playmetes assist them In being lovely and calmly poised, for polite ness implies restraint of anger. It means thought for others; it puts self in the background, The person whose politeness is automatic will all through lite commend himself where the boop or the brusque and clumsy person wiil be at a terrible disadvantage.
