PAY ALINS' PASSAGES, 40 Gen'eraVe Opinion not td b 9pi4 to Rawaii.-Offcials of the Department of oommerc6 ' and Labor Hold a Con sultation. ashington, March 8.-It was av '90vely stated today tha the r n 4'on of the Attorney Gene he held that it is unlaw the recently enacted immi raon law for a 4tate to pay th ssage of intending immigrants o assist immigration, except by ad itiseinent, will not apply to th and to Hawaii. In -that country th .ision has already caused considex e agitation, as under the auspice Territorial Immigration Societl igrants are being brought to th d from Europe and, the Azore ;ake the place of Japanese labor on the sugar plantations. Thi been sanctioned by the Unite, tes government, and a ship-load o migi'ants recently brought. from th ores Islands have proved very sat actory. A conference was held today at th epartment of cdnierce and labor o1 ) opinion recen'tly submitited to th esident by Attorney General Bonn rte on the South Carolina immigra "n' case. It appears clear in th ,ew of the 'officials of the depart Int of commerce and labor that th 11torney General's opinion sustain e opinion of the department, tha Le immigrants landed at Charlestor . C., last November are legally ii his country. It is not so clear, however, that un r law, other immigrants whose pas e to this country is paid either b: tes or by individuals, acting fo tes, may be landed in America be c July 1 next, when the provisiol the new immigration law goes int fect. Those who participated iii th liference today were Seeretar. raus, Solicitor Earle, and Messrr prker and Larned, of the depart ent of commerce and labor, and As istant Attorney General Cooley, o he department of justice. )It was not until today that the ful ) xt of Atorney General Bonaparte' inion was available. The depart ent of commerce and labor desire obtain a definite interpretation o e law, because several Southeri ates have delegated to agents th prk of securing immigrants who wil -atte within their borders. It ap ,ears problematical whether unde he -present law the states have th igh't to induce immigration, excep y advertising. It is quite certaii hat after July 1 they will not havi he right, but among the lawyers whi ave examined Attorney' Genera aparte's opinion there iN a divis of opinion as to whether immi tits cannot be brought to thi untry now by the assistance o: tes. p.,~BATH IN COLD STORAGE. ief Chemist of Agricuiltural Bureai Gives Interesting racts. rHarvey W.

" 'An oyster is dead an hour before it is 'opened," said Dr. Wiley, "and - is not good. It loses its flavor.' - In response to inquiries from Rep D resentative Haskins as to the advis, r ability of freezing oysters to preserve - them for ohipment, Dr. Wiley said: e "Oh, they ought not to be frozen. 3 That ruins them and as soon as they - thaw they are dangerous." s He then urged that oysters should P, be shipped alive and in the shell and 3 said that the greatest outrage of the s oyster trade is to soak oysters with - fresh water and swell them up, miak s ing them look fat. Dr. Wiley said : the oysters seit out in tin cans are all 1 right, but in further denunciatioif of 3 bulk oysters shipped iii tubs and - buckets, lie said: "They are either preserved with 3 some preservative or are dangerously near the potmaine line, one of the , two. .

These hides go into the tanners vats and these s hides that smell to heaven are treat t ed and trimmed and these trimmings are used to 'make gelatine. The ma rie hospital service found tetanu germs in gelatine. Dr. Wiley said that the gelatine factories are the dirtiest in the world. In reply to a question from Repre sentative Hilaughen, as to the uses of gelatine. Dr. Wiley said: ''It is used for putting into ice creai and candies a.nd for making capsules that you put your medicine in. - Wandering Needles. - Inl one of the medical journals a F surgeon recorded some years ago a strange instance of the wanderings of a needle in a lady. The patient call 5 ed upon him, stating that the greate,r - portion of an ordinary sewing needle had broken in the first joint of her left thumb. The surgeon could plain. ly feel the .needle point, but after in 3 effectual attempts at the extraction of the foreign body he recommended that nothing further should be done lest the attempt.s to remove it might result in greater injury to the joint. About a year afterward, however, the patient called upon him to inform him that a day or two prev?ously she had felt a pricki.ng sensation of the right forefinger, and, having broken tihe skit, she without difieulty extraetbd the portion of the lost needle friom the point of the finger. This the needle traveled from the left thumi) along the airm. across the chest to the right arm and down the latter to the finger, where it was extracted. Chambers Journal. Cowbirds Unnatura& Parents. The cowbird is the only,bird that we, have in this country which is un natural iln its p)arenital duties. It never builds a nest for itself, but lays its eggs iln other birds' nests, thus forcing the rightful ownier to assume parent al duties. It is sagacious enough to choose the nests of birds smaller thtan itself, so that its young, when it is hatched, being inevitably the larg est of the brood, must necessarily re eeive the lion 's sha-e of the atten tion of its foster parents. Thme birds thus affliet,ed resort to var-ious means to rid themselves of this unwelcome adldition to their litter. The most intgeniious met hod is that CrecjuentIly used b)y the lit tie fellow wablerC, who will often build a substructure on top of her original niest, thus burying the eggs of thme cowh)ird and ofteni somec of her own wit h it. Nests have fr-equently beeni found with two of these substructures in cases where the wabhler has twieb been visited by the cowhird. Two Eagles at One Shot. Italeigh News-Observ~er. Mr-.

Some one adlvances the idea' that man may beC driven) fronm the face of the eairth by the enero-achments of the insect tribe. He might have said that thuis fantastie notion came to him as the results of his observations, of the ruthless slaughter of birds. Woman's vanity is not. w)iolly responsible for the prevalent senseless bird mu;der. A man who asked a. small boy" to ihoot a few birds for him for fish bait the other day was shocked when the youigster brought him four dead mocking birds. But why not? A bird is only a bird to that .boy, something to practice marksmanship ipon. Na ture study in the schools would help a little. The farmer's boy ought to know his friends.-Mrs Sake D.
