Appalling to men and to gods was the sight
When a bare-footed boy got bumble-bee bite.

KILL THE FISH AS CAUGHT.-Most
fishermen seek to proong the lives OF fish
caught at angling by stringing them and
keeping them in water. The device
generally ends injuriously where the
cooking is not soon enough. Fish cannot
live long with aswitch through theglls,
and dying in the water soon taints them
That very good authority, Forest and
Stream, advises that every fish caught
with the angle shall be killed as soon as
caught. Immediate death follows the
insertion of awl or sharp-pointed knife
at the point of junction of the backb bone
with the head, or into the brain. Fish
so killed remain more plump and con-
tinue longer soupd than if treated in the
ordinary way. Alliuages say that there
is deal Of difference between the fish
killed at once and those that are not.
We beg fishermen to test the matter
The good rule; First have your basket
and a plenty OF grass, cover the basket
bottom with grass, and shield your fish
from the sun with grass. When the
fish is caught kill him and put him ID
the basket. Don't throw him in the
bottom of the boat or in the Sand. The
dirty water soon taints them. Ifpersons
will thus save their fish they will find
them vastly better than if treated in the
ordinary slovenly mannner.-Rich-
mond Dispatch.

COMMON SENSE.

Many imagine all advertised medi-
clnes to be worthless nOstrums, and in
discriminatory condemn them; but is it
not an Injustice to the thousands of re-
spectacle citizens who give voluntary
evidence of benefits received, to thus
question and doubt their veracity and
integrity? Fairbanks standard scales
are extensively advertised. Does it nee
essarily follow that they are inferior in
make, and less accurate than others p
Have they not been demonstrated to be
among the best? Again, is it common
sense to suppose that physician with
capital could be induced to hazard it and
a hard earned reputation upon a worth
less article? r. V. Pierce, M. d., of the
Worlds Dispensary and Invalids' Ho-

OvER.pR0DUCTION!

Among all the yagarics or the lnnumeraDlc
modern hair Drained smattcrers in political
ocopomv none seems so irrational or sclfcon-
Trajectory rs that which ascribcs all the tinan-
cial troubles and hard times" of the day to
over production Can "A man be so rich rs to
he brought to want? Can man have his
larders and cellars SO full Of provisions that
ne must starve? Can Il man have such an
abundance of clothing that he must 90 naked
Nations are but families on large scale.
1t is absurd to say that family whose lardclH
and cellars and money boxes and waidrobcs
are full is on that account brought to want and
distress. so it is absurd to say thatthiS nation
is brought to want-that hunger and naked
ness are abroad in the land because our people
have raised too much to eat and our inanuiac-
urcrs made too much to clothe Us wlthal
Our distress comes not of ovcr.produc'loh,
but of under or non consumption. In lS'2,
when all our mills, and factories, and thrcsh-
inr machines, and beef and pork packers were
working at their highest speed and tension,
there was no complaint of Ovcr-prOductiOn.
As a bar of iron or yard of cloth or calico, or
a barrel of beef or pork was turned out, there
stood the buyer ready with cash in hand TO
take il off to the eager consumer. Since then.
though the mills have ceased, and the furnace
fires died out, and the board of trade is dull,
the same number Of consumers remains; but
instead of being clothed in purple and fine
linen and faring sumptuously every day, they
are clothed in Topped and Widowed ragged
ness" and their gaunt yisages and hollow
cheeks denote a painful scarcity Of the com.
mon necessares to appcasc the cravings OF
hunger.
Why this want and suffering? Is it ration
al to say it is because clothing and provisions
are too abundant in the land? Nonsense,
Give the ill-clad and poorly-fed the means and
opportunity to buy of this super.abundance-
IN short, to turn generous consumers again
and how soon would that supcr.abundanccd dis
appear!
And that is the great problcm-not to lessen
production, but to provide means that there be
more Consumption-not wasteiul or cXtraya-
giant, but rational adequate consumption.
Without undertaking the solution Of the
problem, we throw it out at present to be re
volvcd by our thoughtful readers, only limiting,
by way of Il leader in the direction of their
thoughts, that the true solution, IN our humble
opinion, will find itself largely involved with
the mysterious element, so hard to nOurish
and slow of growth, designated by the word
CONFIDENCE.
