LAWS THAT ARE LAPSED
THERE SEEMS TO BE NO END TO
SUPERFLUOUS LEGISLATION.
Ttia American Hm to obey More Laws
Than ! a Illiro or Any Other
.'onntry This Multiplicity of l.nl
Si Clreat Rihiii lu His Many Lawyers.
To be a law-abiding American cltl
ten requires mortt of an effort tban
in expected ot the citizens of any
other country on the face of the
map of the world.
Not only doc the American have to
obey more laws, but he has more
law-makinK bodies tban any other
country. He has his congress, the
state legislatures and municipal bo
gles, all of which have power to make
laws and enforce them.
No lawyer knows how many laws
there are fn the state of Louisiana, for
lnsta'icp, much less how ninny laws
t:iero on; In the Vnltcd States. When,
ever a question Is submittel to a
lawyer about the simplest proposition,
it requires three or four days of ftti-en-uous
investigation before he is e!:le
fo form an opinion as to what the
legislature (lid do or Intended to lo,
and even then It is not a certilnty
thnt the law Is as the lawyer trunk
It is.
There are about 14,000 ordinances iu
force In the city of New Orleans elone.
How many thousand laws thcie are
in the state no living man can tell.
Citizens expectorating on the Bids
walk are violating a law. Cltl.ens
throwing refuse into the streets are
violating a law. Motonr.en running
their cars faster than six miles an
hour vlolr.te an ordinnme. Trains
which block a crossing longer than
five minutes violate the law. People
driving horses rapidly on any of the
streets can be arrested by the police
iind fined. Men or women lingering
on the street corners are guilty of a
misdemeanor. It ib a penitentiary of
lense to can a ter without a stamp
on H rn is undressed to another.
It is a penitentiary offense to open a
letter adJressed to another under any
circumstances. It Is an offense to soli
goods on Hundny. Gambling and lot
tery games i.re crimes. Taking money
from another for the purpose of shield
ing him or his business is a very ser
ious crime. It is a misdemeanor for
a farmer to permit his hogs to run nt
large In cert districts.
The list might be prolonged inJefl
nitely. It would fill a strip of paper
an wide as the ordinary railroad track
anj reaching from New York to Hong
kong. rs say that there is hardly a
ma '11 mis blic who does not at
some time .ng the year violate
come law, state, national or city. Tlio
reasom why so few arrests are made
la that most of these statutes are
more honored in d I mine than in their
rigid enforcement.
Laws are ehanirej with every suc
ceeding session of the legislature. A
great a lawyer as Mr. KruttschnUt
said he did not believe a person could
take the statute books of 18." 5, or
about that time, and find a single law
which is in torce today as it was the.i.
The beginning of many of the pi-cwiit
laws are there, but they have been
amended and amended until they hate
completely lost their original shape
and effect. Most of the acts of tho
legislature as recent as ten years ago
have been repealed and changed so
that they re not all what they were
in the beginning. It Is apparently the
passion of every legislator, for reasons
political or otherwise, to try to get
tne e lre regulation of the affairs ot
the citizen changed to f.ilt his parti
cular notions of political economy, and
bo be goes to tho capltol with a bunch
of bills in his pocket and he begins
Introducing them the first day of the
session and keeps hammering away
at them till he manages to get one or
two of them through. Then there Is
the man in the legislature who does
not care how much legislation gome of
the other parishes get so long as they
let him and his affairs alone. He Is
perfectly willing to vote for tho other
man's bill If the other man will vote
for one of hia bills and vote against
gome bill for him. It was something
of this condition of affairs which nia.lo
the legislature of a state not very far
from Louisiana geriously debate for
four or five days and nights the pro
position to Incorporate a brass band
and make every member thereof ex
officio justice of the peneo. The gun
tleman who proposed the measure,
when asked why he wanted to make
tho horn blowers and the . banner
bearers officers of the law, replied that
It wag necessary to give thora this
power In order to enable them to pro
tect themselves against the populuec,
which was In the habit of going early
to bed and which manifested a clec-IJ'id
objection of being waked up by a braua
horn just us they were beginning to
get their first cood sleep.
Bills just as foolish as this have
been proposed In other legislatures
and have served a rather good purpose
in the eyeB of the lawyers. In that they
consumed time which might have
been spent in a way much more in
jurious to the interests of the state.
It Is a fact that every legislature
passes more bills than It repeals. The
new laws cover hundreds ot pages.
The lawyers hav.e to try to familiarize
themselves with the most Important
legislation. It la an absolute impossi
bility to try to absorb all of the acta
of the Bolnns, because that is a task
' which would send a man to an asylum
before he got half through.
Aa showing the number of laws
passed by congress, a blU wag passed
three years ago providing for a com
mission to recodify the statutes of the
United States. That commission baa
been steadily at work every Jay of the
year, and Ib not bait through with lu
job. - It in thought that by the ttm
the present generation Is grown an 1
the lawyers now living hnve reached
their rewards there may be an end to
this work. Certainly the work will
go on for five or ten years longer.
Vet congress Is supposed to pass few
er bills than the ordinnry state legis
lature. Olio man rt signej his seat in
congress to get on the commission,
on the ground that It was a life Job
and he did not have to make any effort
to get reelected. Another member of
the commission has died during his
term of office, but still the commission
goes on, and when the present mem
bers die there will be a new set, and
when the new set gets old It Is ex
pected by tho lawyers that the work
will be finished.
This multiplicity of laws Is an ele
ment of lawyers' lets. When a law
yer knows it Is going to take him ttaicn
days to find out if a man's cow can
cat the grass on the pasture of
another man in a certain pntb-.h liq
must charge about the value ot the
cow for an opinion, because he will
hove to contribute services worth tho
value of the cow before he is through
with his investigation of the question.
As showing the difference in tho
number of luws It Is set down that
there is only one lawmaking body in
all tho kingdom of England, and thut
Is tho House of Commons, or rather
the House of l'arllnment. They make
all the laws, both the larger and the
smaller ones. They' make the laws
riguluting the running or cattli At
large, as well es luws provi.lliiK the
means for carrying on the govern
ment. There are no diu'mct legisla
tive bodies. All the legislation comes
from one source. Consequently, there
Is very little of the conftission appar
ent here, because there Is need for lit
tle local legislation. There Is only
olio law making body In France and
only one In (in many. All thee great
bodies consi..rr the smallest local
questions when there is occasion for
It. but when there Is no necessity for
a violent change they go ahead. Lnws
have stood for hundreds of years in
these countries without a change.-an!
the probabilities are that they will
stand for centuries more. They were
made on broad lines tliHt were core
fully considered and elastic enough
to fit changing conditions.
Tho lawyers In this city who dis
cussed this question are at a loa to
know how to Btop the craze for making
new lawu. unless it be to have a spe
cial session of the legislature called
for the expreys purpose of repealing
some few hundred acts which are now
on tho books find which should not
be there.

LIVING IN LONDON,
It Is Mot ftninl I'Iiii-s for s Mnn of
Kmnll Income,
An American, who, in tho classical
language of his country, is at present
"located" In London, wants to know
whether ony city In tho world is quite
so nigpardly as our town. He has been
going the round of the London reatau
rants, and has encountered lu tho
management of them- a spirit which
(iistresses him. "There is, to begin
with," he says, "a charge of from I'd.
to td. for guarding your hot and coat
in the cloakroom, and a tip in addition
Is expected. You want to waah your
hands another 2d. or another 0d., and
another tip. You take up the menu,
and behold! there Is an intimation
that a charge of 3d. each person will
be made under the guise of "tablo
money." The charge varies accord
ing to the nature ot the place 3d. Is
the lowest, Gd. perhaps tho average;
at a great many restaurants It Is Is.,
and In at least two thnt I have visited
Is. Cd. The only difference Is that
In the lower-priced restaurants it' is
called 'table money,' and In the higher-priced
ones placed under the cap
tivating heading of couveil. To my
mind, an entrance fee, -frankly de
manded at the ioor, would be much
lew offensive than to find yourself
asked at the end ot a dinner to pay
tor the trouble and expense of clean
lag up tho. cutlery you have used."
His conclusion of the whole matter
is that "London lives by Imposing a
fixed tariff on the accessories that In
every other city I have ever been to
are thrown In gratis;" and he thinks
that being a gentleman is one of the
most expensive professions an Eng
Unman can have. He declares it to
be an utter delusion that London Is
a cheap place to live In. "For the poor
man," he says, "the man whose In
come is less than 800 a year, thare
is no city where les-a can be had in
the way of comforts and even the ne
cessities of life. In New York It is
only the luxuries that cost; the ex
penses of every-day living may be as
greut or aa small as one cares to make
them. New York, In fact Is laid out
for tho poor man. From the transpor
tation system to the price of such fun
damental chargB on the household
treasury as coaL ice, fuel, meat,
bread, milk, and fruit, almost every
thing consplrcg to bring him in a
good return for a very small outlay.
All these things are cheaper in New
York than In London" London

When It's tnn liolim Sick,
One of the local girls' boarding
schools includes among Its day pupils
a young miss of 17 years who repre
sents the concentrated affection of her
parents, a sister and a number of old
er brothers. She bubbles over with
merriment, is healthful to a degree
that alarms the family physician and
speeds through her lessons as thought
fully and regularly as could be ex
pected of a girl who takes music les
sons nnd must give linit an hour a
day to each member of a large family,
The other day she went to school in
good spirits, but succumbed to a tooth
ache at the end of her -first study
period. Instantly the whole school
went to work to nurto her possibly
out of recognition of her father's In
fluence and his interest in the school.
She was taken up" stairs to the room
ct one of the boarders, blankets were
heaped on her until sho almost smoth
ered, the superintendent came in the
room and lowered the blinds, tho his
tory teacher came and offered edibles

after each recitation period to inquire
how she was. lint no one gave her
any remedy for her toothache. She
lay there two or three hours, Btiffcrints
bravely and counting the figures in
lue wall paper design, when suddenly
the pain censed. She accordingly arose
put on her wraps and walked homo,
Yesterday she vouchsafed to tell her
home folks something about it. "Why
In the world didn't you tell us before?"
they all asked. Then the sly little
school girl's eyes began to twinkle and
she replied demurely: "Well, you see,

ANOTHER GHAND REPORT FROM HIS
MAJESTY'S DOCKYARD, AT
PORTSMOUTH, ENGLAND,
TThera Upwards ol 10,000 Mea Are Ce
stsatly Employed.
Sometime sgo the Portsmouth Time
and Naval Gazette published a moat thrill
ing nnd remarkable experience of the wife
of Mr. Frederick Fayne, himself connecter
with the Portsmouth Dockyard for many
fears. The report produced a great sensa
tion, not only in Portsmouth, but through
out the country, being considered of suffi
cient importance for reproduction and ed
itorial comment by the leading Metropoli
tan and Provincial Press of England, as
showing tbe marvelous powers which St.
Jacobs Oil possesses as a cure for Rheuma
tism, its application having; effected a per
fect euro in the caw of Mrs. Payne, sfter
having been a helpless cripple and given
up by several physicians.
Wc have now further evidence of Its in
trinsic value aa a Pain Conqueror. Our
readers will do well to follow the intelli
gent nnd lti(7lily interesting details as given
in Mrs. Rabbets' own words:
To the Proprietors St. Jacobs Oili
Gentlemen My hiifbancl, who is a ship
wright in His Majesty's Dockyard, met
with an accident to his ankle and leg,
spraining both so badly that his leg turned
black from hie knee to his toes. The Dr.
aid it would be months before he could
put his font to the ground, nnd it was
doubtful whether he would ever get proper
Use of his leg again.
A few days after the accident I had
a book left at the door telling about St.
Jacobs Oil, so I procured a bottle from our
chemist, Mr. Arthur Crcswell, 3T0 Com
mercial Road. I began to me St.
Jacobs Oil, and yon may guess my
surprise, when, in about another week
from thnt date, my Inn-band could not
only stand, but could even wall; about,
and in three weeks from the time I first
used the Oil my husband was back at
work, and everybody talking about his
wontlerful recovery. This is not all. See
ing what St. Jacobs Oil could do gave me
faith in your Vogeler's Curative Compound,
also favourably mentioned in the book left
at my house. I determined to try the
compound on my little girl, who was suf
fering from a dreadful skin disease, the
treatment of which has cost me large sums
of money in going from one doctor to an'
other with her all to no purpose.
She has taken two bottles of Vogeler's
Curative Compound, nnd one would now
hardly take her for the same child, her
skin has got siu-h a nice healthy colour
after the sallow look she has always had.
I shall never cease to be thankful for
tho immense benefit we have derived from
these two great remedies of yours. I
think it a duty to recommend these medi
cines now I have proved their value.

er nnd far more convincing than pages of
paid advert iscmcnts, which, though in
themselves attractive, yet lnt-k that con
vincing proof which Mrs. Rabbets' descrip
tion of her own enperiencc supplies. St.
Jacobs Oil lias a larger sale throughout
the world than that of all other remedies
for outward applioation combined, and
this can only be accounted for from the
fact of its superiority over all others.

TO EXTRACT LEAD.
New Method of Getting It Out of Ore
Discovered.
Dr. A. F. Linn, ot Springfield, O.,
professor of chemistry at Wittenberg
College, has discovered a method by
which lead lu solution may be "thrown
out" In tho form of pure lead by the
use of an electric current. The com
mercial possibilities of the discovery.
It Is said are great, as the plan may be
applied to extracting tho metal from
the ore. The method consists In get
ting the lead In a solution containing
an excess of phosphoric acid and then
allowing an electric current to act up
on the solution for six or seven hours.
Tho lead Is then .found to be deposited
In a smooth gray coating at tho bot
tom of the receptacle.

RIVAL STEEL TRUST.

claimed by these representatives that
one contract was signed Wednesday.
Hene Illume and Caston Blcjelt, who
were sent to this country by the
French company, say the steel they
sell Is made by a new process, which
Is known only to those engaged In Its
manufacture. Hy this secret process
they assert their concern can produce
the best steel at about half the cost
ot American manufacture. The
Frenchmen visited the oltlces of tho

Studying Glacial Movements.
A recent number of the Meteora
loslsche Zeltschrlft, culls attention to
the tine that may be mnd of the fall
of red dUBt, which occurred over most
of Europe on March 11 last. It was
suggested some time ago that studies
of glacial movements and phenomena
might be facilitated by coloring a con
siderable portion of the surface of a
glacier, and then noting the rapidity
of movement and the folding and frac-
Ituring of this partlculur colored stra
tum. The dust storm of last March
colored the Kuropeun glaciers on a
grand scale, and thus an excellent op
portunity of making critical studies
of these glaciers hag been provided,
which could never have been brought
about by artificial means.

Mrs. L. A. Harris, a Prominent Member
of a Chicago Woman's Political Club, tells
how Ovarian Troubles may be Cured with
out a Surgical Operation. She says :
" Doctors have a perfect craze for operations. The minuta
there is any trouble, nothing but an operation will do them ; one
hundred dollars and costs, and included in the costs are pain, and
agony, and often death.
" I suffered for eight years with ovarian troubles ; epent hundredi
of dollars for relief, until two doctors agreed that an operation was
my only chance of life. My sister had been using Lytlhv E. l'lnk
li urn s Vojretnblo Compound for her troubles, and been cured,
and she strongly urged me to let the doctors go and try fiie Com

were over and my health restoretl. If women would only try Lydia

would occur." Mrs. L. A. Harris, 278 East 31st St., Chicago, 111.
