Branded Salmon.

Following is copy of a letter receiv-
cd from the proprietor of salmon
cannery at Coliinsville last week:
" There were landed on the wharf to-
day October Sd two salmon which ex-
cited no little curiosity. One weighed
about twelve pounds and measured
two feet seven inches, and had on his
side stencil brand 8 E. B." The other
measured two feet and would weigh
about eight pounds and had ada staerasag rasagI
run Of fish since the first of August,
but it has now ceased almost entirely"
The singular part of this matter is, that
no one here has been found who knows
of any marked fish having been put in
the river. If any one knows the his
tory of these marked fish he will confer
favor and settle a disputed and inter-
esting question in regard to the salmon.
1t has been held by some authorities
that all the adult salmon die soon after
returning to the sea from spawning.
Others, and probably the majority, deny
this, and to settle the question Living
ston Stone this year attached metal
tags to the adipose fin Of some fish
taken at the United States fishery on
Cle A1cClOuuJ anu lnen Iurneu Ine uSn
loose. This test is founded on the sup
position, which applied to the fish is in
the main correct, that the salmon al
ways returns to its birthplace to spawn.
Recent experiments have proved that
while this is the general habit of the
fish, it is not invariable, for twice during
the past twenty-five years the hump
backed salmon of Fraser river have
made their appearance in the Sacra-
mento, and this year the Columbia river
salmon were taken at the United States
fishery on the McCloud. In the absence
Of any knowledge Of the fish having
been marked here, it is supposed that
they were branded along the Columbia
Or northern coast, and have strayed
from their native waters. In this light
the history of these fish is an interest
ing inquiry, and it is desirable that if
any one knows aught of their origin he
should make it public for the settle
ment of a disputed and interesting
question in the natural history of our
most valuable fish.-Sao Francisco
Chronicle.

1t would get there by the middle of the
winter, and he would like to be shaved
and liked up before it arrived.
The barber said it was a terrible thing.
yawned, laid down the paper. and
shutfled up to the chair. He arranged
the towels about Jones' neck. felt of
his beard, run his fingers through his
halr, scrutlnized wart on the side of
ms nose, turned his lower lip down over
his chin, and asked him if he had his
/ York. -'o"
Jones answered as best he could. con-
slderlng that the barber still kept his lin
hauled down taut.
Alter examining the dental work on

stone at dog that was barking at q cat
in the back yard
When he came back Jones said he
would like to be shaved as quickly as
possible, as he was in somewhat of a
hurry.
Certainly, certainlyw said the bar
ber, as he spread the lather over Jones
face and began to hunt for razor.
After examining several, he began to
slap the strap with one, while he re-
marked that fall had probably set in
III earnest, and that the base ball fever
was about as bad as ever, etc. Giving
the razor one pull down over the side of
Jones' face, he wiped off the blade,
laid it down, took up another, examin-
ed its edge, and whipped the strap
with it as before, asking Jones if he
really thought business was picking
up any, and if he thought it would
rain.
Jones moved uneasily on the stocks,
and said he was sure there would be a
storm, and he wanted to get shaved and
have his moustache waxed before the
flood came. e,
The barber grew pale around the
mouth, and his lip quivered. "You said
that once before" he remarked curtly,
Don't say II again, please, or there'll
be trouble. Pm gentleman when deal
ing with gentleman; but know when
Pm insulted, sir" aa.
"Well, confound it ALL" exclaimed
Jones, very much out of patience. 81

talked to DEATH" 2.
ooh! you Want to be shaved, do
your" exclaimed the barber, in rage.
"You don't want to be talked to death,
don't you? A barber can't open his
mouth, can't he? o no! barber is a
doggoned machine, L suppose, and
must move about his work like a
wooden Injuu in front of a cigar store.
All right, all right! you shall be shaved
and have your moustache waxed so
blamed fast it'll make your head
swimw
And. buckling down to his work, he
shaved Jones in two minutes and a half
by the watch, and cut him seventeen
times by actual count.
Moral-Let a barber talk. 1t Is cheap
er than to be kept away from business
for two or three days while you stop
bleeding.

DR.. Hollands Misfortune.

Before he went into the country for
the summer DR.. J. G. Holland had his
elegant house on Park avenue thor
oughly decorated from top to bottom.
He and his wife and daughters put
their heads together to devise some
thing unique, and they spared no
money to fit up the already handsome
house in the latest style of decoration.
The walls were papered with the finest
Morris papers, and the ceilings were
painted in artistic style, while the wood
work was made rich and harmonious
with appropriate colors. Workmen
were in the house up to within short
time of the family's return, but q few
weeks ago everything was pronounced
in perfect order. and admiring friends
lavished unstinted praise upon the
taste that had been displayed. All of
this only makes the sequel harder to
bear. One unhappy night last week
the water pipes burst and flooded the
house. The delicate paper was soak
ed from the walls, the painted ceilings

How TO Provide Against Crows Feet.

What should the lady do who per
ceives the first trace of a crows foot III
the face reflected by her mirror? She
should lend an ear to the CCmtesse de
Bassanville, editress OF the Alnaanach
du SdUoir Viare. In the number for the
year 1879, just issued. sound advice Is
offered as to the best means of opposing
the ravages of time. Crows feet. in
deed, cannot be altogether removed,
but there is no reason why they should
assume too prominent an appearance,
if natures OWE most agreeable remedy
be reSorted to. When you are past
twenty-five" says Mdme. de Bassan-
vile land her counsels are rendered to
gentlemen as we'll as ladiesC "neyer let
more than five Or six hours pass with
out closing your eyes for short time
say ten minules; not necessarily to
sleep, but to repose the muscles of the
eye" Of course every movement and
play of the face necessarily tends to
fatigue those muscles-Whether it be a
smile or the expression of surprise of
fixed attention. The closing of the
eyelids at intervals is therefore recon-
mended as "beauty rest" The mus
cles, reposed, lose their tendency to
that nervous contraction which tran
states into wrinkles. 1t might, how
ever, be objected to this prescription
that in our busy age few persons can
find leisure to close their eyes at odd
times during the day; that to many
more enforced inaction-a condition of
absolute repose without sleeps intol-
erable; and, finally, that if a man or
woman happens to be tired, a ten min
utes' nap may easily develop into forty
winks or long doze, which is refresh
ing enough at the time, but loses pre-
cious slice of the day, and insures q
sleepless night. Few, indeed, share
that enviabIe popularity of the late
Baron Bunsen, who could go to sleep
for three minutes, and then wake with
powers restored and single hearted
appetite for Egyptian chronology or
any other light work.-PaHM MaR Gazette.
