—By*M. A. SCULL, • Pibliskir nd Proprietor.

Entared at the post office at Capa May, X. J., as s«cond-o!ass matter, March 11th, 1901.

There sroulj appear to be disposition In old England to make a change from grain cultivation to live stock raising. Since last year she has made addition to her grass area of 195.4AS acres.'").

Failure to provide a suitable dwelling place, with the consequent exposure to cold, and to provide sufficient food and clothing. Is held in an Hllnots decision not to be within the meaning of a statute allowing a divorce for extrema and repeated cruelty. The census returns which have been made up for Edinburgh show that the capital of ScotUnd has now a population of 316,540 people. Ten years age on the occasion of the last census, the numbers were 272.978, thus giving an increase of 43,562. The growth of the population of Edinburgh, which Is a non-manufacturing centre, has been in many respects remarkable during the last century. Until the middle of the eighteenth century Edinburgh had almost remained stationary for ,200 years. In the beginning of the present century the population of the city was just over 100,000, so that during the century the number of its inhabitants has been more than trebled, while the town has extended Its borders on all aides and has also grown greatly In wealth. In 1821 the Inhabitants numbered 138,235, In 1851, 191.303. Great possibilities for the rice 1bdustry In Louisiana and Texas are predicted by Frank Bond, an expert of the department of agriculture, who has looked over the ground. Within the next five years or fp-the^Unlted States'*!!!, in hi&-opinion, be producing rice enjsgfi to supply all the demands of home consumption, and win hare a surplus for export. Already 60 percent of the rice used in this country is produced in Texas. Louisiana, and the Carolina districts. It Is for the growers in Texas and Louisiana fields that Mr. Bond predicts a future, as in the Carolina fields, which are 200 yeprs old. the character of the soil precludes the adoption of mod. em meioodg of cultivation. The ricegrowing Industry In Texas and Louisiana, however. Is comparatively recent, and largely the result of the agricultural department's successful solution of the irrigation problem, which confronted the growers In those states. The rice grown in this country, Mr. Bond says, is far superior, both In grain and polish, to the Chinese ric$. and there is no reason why, with it* extensive cultivation in this country, the price should not be cut In half and’’ the grain vie with the American cere-als-as a staple article of food for the American people.

Sportsmen of France are much exercised over the prospect of a speedy extinction of game on all but a very few exceptionally well-guarded pre ■serve^ In France the ancient craft of poaching Is carried to a refinement unknown in other countries with game laws and the harvest of the poacher and pot-hunter Is always very large. Modern Invention is called in to help the followers of the profession. The gun. the snare, the Blinking through the undergrowth to keep «nt of rang* of the-k8£B£rs- all these end similar things have beifa done away with by those who pretend to be artists in thejr work. Instead of these they XaUf a net, an automobile and an acetylene lamp. After dark they ride in' the “bubble” alongside a game preserve, but do not leave the road.

Then , away go the poachers at-a rate of 40 miles an hour or so until they come to the next p to rob. Technically they are not poachers, -an* attempts that have been made to convict the few who have been caught have failed, beeaaae they violate no game law, since they i

These the two must greet or exchange with them light words cl compliment. “There have so many ships passed to-day,” she said, mechanically, not to allow silence to fall upon them. “Bo many ships, Harold—but they all go by; they never stop or stay." “Yes,” he said bitterly, commanding his voice by a powerful effort. “Everything passes, Alecla, like the ahlps.” “Not everything, Harold.
