Easy Way of Getting at Whether a
Fish Is of Lawful Length
"How do you know," this man asked
of the man hauling on the Belne,
'whether the fishes you catch are up
to the limit fixed by the law? Have
you put a tape line on some of themT
"Well, no," said the fisherman,
we don't exactly have to go to that
rouble. We have an iiU'r way of
.en. tiring them than that,
Kvery fisherman has sawed In the
eat of the boat little notches of the
ight distance apart to Indicate the
awful loriKth at which nny nsh may
c taken, and when he takes out the
lit a fish that doesn't look much too
ong he lays Its nose against one of
hese notches and its tall against the
ither.
"If It touches the notches, rhy, Into
he basket goes the fish; but If it
'oesn't, why, then the tlsn goes overboard."
Scotch Students.
Many a man who never had any
schooling" gets an education, and
iften a surprisingly good one,
A traveller in Scotland once met
i farmer whose ground rent was about
520 a year and who wrote poetry In
Jai'llc that was of high order.
This sanvj traveller met a youth In
Scotland who rode from borne on hore
jack to the seaport, and then across
Scotland to Aberdeen, where he sold
lis horse to enter the university.
It Is related of another Scotchman
hat he was overheard repeating a
ine of Tennyson, whereupon some one
isked what poet he liked best.
"Homer," he replied.
"Whose translation do you read?'1
"I rarely read a translation," he
?atd, wiping the fish scales from his
Tron. "I like best to read Homer In
'.he original Greek." Minneapolis

Marriage Reduced to a System,
After strong competition for ilie
marrying business of East St. Louis
Justices Brady and Williams of that
city have organized what looks much
like a trust. Cutting out all banquets,
souvenirs or special Inducements of
any kind, renting one olfice and fur
nishing It In sumptuous elegance and
charging a flat price for the perform
ance of the ceremony are things show
ing all the earmarks of trust organiza
tion. As the combine will put a num
ber of dru 'mers out of work, It may
be in contravention of the Federal law
ngalnst restrpint of Interstate trade
and commerce, more particularly as
the majority of marriages performed
In the justlc courts of East St. Louis
come clearly under the head of inter
state business. St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Crow's Raid on Golf Balls.
A golfing Incident Is reported from
St. Jean de Luz, Pyrenees. David
Ecott and M. Carlos de Candamo were
playing a match a few days ago on the
Nlvelle links. Both had driven on to
the second green and were walking
toward the hole when a crow swooped
down, picked up Mr. Scott's ball and
flew away with It. The players bad
nearly reached the green when a
second crow picked up M. de Cnn
damo's ball and mr.de off in the direc
tion of a neighboring tree. Pursued
by the golfers and caddies the bird
dropped the ball, but pounced down
and secur-d It again while the pur
suers were still fifty yards away.
Neither bah was seen again. Golfers
are asking: "What If it had been a
four ball match?" London Dally Mail.
Branding Criminals in England.
The branding of criminals, which
Judge Rentoul suggests might advant
ageously be revived for the benefit of
deported aliens, was abolished in this
country in 1778. Until then, this
punishment was Indicted In open
court, generally in the presence of the
Judge, tho necessary implements
the Iron brand, the chafing dish and
the Iron gripper for Imping the hand
steady being always In readiness.
The UMinl brand was an "R" ap
plied to the left shoulder. Child steal
ing. etc., however, wpr at one time
punished by branding the offender
with "R" on the shoulder (for rogue),
'M" on the right hand (for man
slayer), and "T" on the left hand (for
.hief). Pall Mall Gazette.
Connecticut Farmer's Flying Hen.
A man residing on the Harwinton
road has a hen he claims Is the only
one of its kind in existence. In ap
tearance she Is much like any hen,

the farm like a bird, but only rises
ibout five feet from the ground. Many
limes she is seen on one of the larger
iimbs at the top of a tree. On
several different occasions she has
laid an egg In a small box, which wag

Japanese Royal Palace la Separated
From Other Places In Toklo
by Triple Moat
The mikado, earth-born son of heav
en, and his court of demigods dwell
In a forest solitude in the midst of
the great city of Toklo. The palace
world is separated from the world of
the people by a triple moat of dead
water and a double wall of granite
crowned by twisted pine trees and
mottled with the moss of ages. Except
upon stated occasions, the mikado Is
as invisible and well nigh as Inacces
sible as the sun goddess amid the
hereditary treasures of the Ise shrine.
In his august person the hotly dis
puted origin of his race finds Its re
flection, for he has the eyes of the
Mongol, the coloring and facial struc
ture of the Malay.
Unlike the reigning houses of Aus
tria, Russia and Prussia, the house of
Japan, which, thanks to the system of
plural wives and the custom of adop
tion, has survived so many hundred
years In an apparently unbroken line,
has- no family name and the given
names of Its members are toot by any
means what they seem to be or to
mean upon a superficial examination.
The Mikado Mitsuhito Is not the
"meek man" nor Is Prince Haru a
"verdant" or "springlike prince."
These names have an occult meaning
which Is probably hidden from all ex
cept the princes of the blood and It
is In a close family council that they
are decided upon.
Behind tho moss-grown battlements
and the stagnant moats, the Lord of
Ten Thousand Years leads a singular
ly sober and frugal life. It has been
suggested that he Is still haunted by
the memory of the threadbare court of
his father, the Emperor Komel, where
not seldom even food was lacking. The
support of hawking and of the old
ewordmakers with their secret meth
ods of tempering steel and his efforts
to collect the widely scattered books
relating to the Shinto cult are his only
extravagances. Metropolitan Maga-tine.
CAUSE OF CANCER IN CHINA
Eating of Steaming Hot Food Respon
sible for Prevalence of Disease
Among Men.
In China, when a native family sits
down to dine, the men of the house
hold and the male guests, If there be
any, are served first. Their, food
comes to them steaming hot. The
women must watt until later to be
served, and by that time the food has
grown cooler. The men commence to
eat immediately the dishes of steam
ing hot food are set before them.
Rice, cow peas and other things are
bolted hot. The women have to be
satisfied with only lukewarm dishes.
So much for etiquette. Now for the
consequences. In China cancer of tho
oesophagus, or' throat. Is common
among men. Among Chinese women
the disease Is very rare; practically
unknown.
All of this, and more, was reported
by Dr. E. D. Bashford at the recent
annual meeting of the Imperial Can
cer Research Fund held In London. He
said, In referring to the alarming In
roads made by cancer among China
men, that the frequency of the disease
would be diminished if such practices
as the eating of very hot rice were
discontinued. The rice the women
eat is cool and non-irritating, and
they rarely contract cancer.
Old-Time Delicacies.
Cleopatra, frail and fragile, like
many thin people at heartily, and her
guests wondered at the rarities of
which they partook. There was every
thing there that gastronomy could
think of, except mutton, an exception
In favor of the divine Amnion with the
pamllke head. Even the roast beef and
plum pudding were not lacking, for
these delicacies were as popular In
Thebes as was the broiled and salted
goose, with the good brown stout, and
Strong barley wine to cheer the spir
its and assist the digestion.
Initiative,
'It's the man that's a-trylng soma
thing new that gets laughed at every
time. And h is generally right the
rest are wrong. Somebody haa got to
begin and be guyed like a fool, and
bide and starve, and eat his heart
out and then after years and years
the rest of the world that was too lazy
to do Its own thinking comes a-strut-tlng
up to pat him on the back and in
vite him to dinner and everybody
comes In on the chorus: "I told
you sol"

Pride In Saving.
Only well-bred trained people who
are used to having things take pride
In saving. They who have never had
breeding or training and have never
been used to having anything know
nothing of saving. Most menials and

squandering and big tipping and wide
spending are a sign of big folk; aye,
even of decency.
