Several gtocers have been called
upon in the past few days by parties,
who asked them for a small box to

be told that they, {tho grocers,) had
no boxes suitable, they would iuta-
riably ask for an empty scgar box.
The unsuspectinS clerk or owner; not
dreaming for moment to whom they
were talkingi gave them the desired
scgar boxes. Some time after they
found themselves in the custody of the
United States authorities, charged
with violating the Internal Revenue
law, by disposing Of the said boxes
without oancelIing the stamps on

Changing the Subject.

Little Mary had heard her father
instruct her older brothers and sisters
that when In the course of converse
iion a subject came up that seemed te
be disagreeSble 70 any one present,
changed as quickly as possible. Some
days afterwsrd her father said to her
as he left the house
"MsIy, papa wants you TO be very
careful il you play in the garden to-
day not to touch the hyaeiRths. Will
you remember"
OF course she would, but on pspa's
return in the evening he found the
hyacinths picked and the mark Of lit
tie feet on the garden bed.
Calling Mary to him he looked very
grave and said
"My dear, you remember l told you
particularly not to touch the hya-
cinths, and find them picked, and
no one else has been in the garden
but you. How Is this p
Mary laughed and said
"Oh, papa, it was splendid In the
garden to-day! | saw 8 beautiful lit
tie birds nest, and there was q great
big butterfly"
"Wait, wait, my child. am talk
ing about something else now. Don't
you understand me? I told you not
to touch the hyaclnths, and now / find
them picked and your footprints AL
about"
''Oh, yes, papa, I did have the love-
Hest time In the garden to-day. Don't
you think It was q lovely day 2"
"Mary, how dare you answer me 80
impertinently? I am talking 10 you
about your dIsobedisnce. Why do
you not attend to me? l shall have
to make you."
Rather sobered at this suggestion
the little girls countenance fell, and
she falteFed out:
"Why, papa, you said that when q
subject became unpleasant to any one
the only way was to change It,"
Papa saw the point, and the IN
pleasant subject was dropped for that
time.

The Resources or alaska.

A writer in the Alaska Herald
says:
''If Alaska had no other source of
revenue but her fisheries, and they
we're fully developed, this territory
would be one OF the richest posses
siOns Of the United States; but even
with the partial development OF this
interest we have much TO be proud of.
The salmon fisheries at Sitka alone
will yield several thousand barrels
yearly. South of here, along Prince
Edward Island and other localities
adjacent thereto, there are splendid
openings for establishing salmon fish
cries. The Indians catch great nun.
bers, and 20 a large extent live from
this source. Fish Is the real staff Of
life to the coast tribes. Furs pur-
chase them many articles of use and
luxury, but the finny product is their
main reliance for food
There is a mint of money in the
Shumagin fisheries. At present per-
haps the pioneers Of the trade are not
resPtng large profits, but from all
can learn they nsve every encourage
ment 10 extend their operations. PiO-
neers In any department OF life usual
ly have a hard tight. My owH expe-
rience, however, and that OF several
Others here, has been both pleasant
and profitable, and l hope the ener.
getic men who ars laying the fOunda-
ton for building up q vast trade In
the Shumagin specially will in time
find all their expectations realized. AS
the Pacific coast becomes populated,
everything that Alaska can produce
will very naturally find an increase In
the market; and nc other branch
would receive so great an impulse as
the Goldfish trade. The article is equal
and in some respects superior II the
Newfoundland species, and also tO'the
fish taken in the OchOtsk Sea. When
this fact becomes generally known,
our Goldfish will, Of course, command
4 better price than any other.
''Our fur trade is another feature Of
interest. We take from 5000 to TO-
900 mink every year, and from 5000
