which move them.

ECCENTRICITIES OF THE SWORD FISH,
Visitors at New London, Block Island or
other of our fishing ports, have no doubt
noticed hat the end of the bowsprit of the
larger sized fishing boats there is often an
iron cage or frame so made as to be sale
for man to stand in. This is the place
from which the fisherman throws the har-
pooh to catch the swordfish and the sword
fish is Just now the subject of considerable
discussion. It's ways have at least as much
mystery as those of the shad, salmon, her
ring, or any other unaccountables.
Professor G. B Goode is studying up the
matter preparatory to a report to the gov
eminent. Some of the interesting features
of the fish are these: 1t is found here and
there from spring to fall in the ocean on
our coast, lying "asieep," the sailors call It,
on the very surface of the water. Nobody
on the American coast, so far as reported
ever saw little swordfish. The smallest
recorded by correspondent of the ForeSI
and Stream, weighed forty six pounds.
They run up to six hundred pounds
Their only known breeding ground is II
the Mediterranean. There the same fist
are found weighing half a pound; from
that they go up to very heavy measure
ment. 1t is naturally inferred from this
that all our ,wordfish are Medit rranear
products. What mysterious ocean curren
guides them over herep Or is it an instinc
that teaches them that here they will tint
the mackerel and menhaden that they feet
onp One can almost imagine that thu
game of fight and pursuit kept up BY
these two species starts at Gibraltar and Il
run to Block Island every year.
The swordfish darts upon school OF It's
prey and by skilful use OF its sworc
wounds those that it afterward captures
and eats. Until this season nobody eve
thought of catching it except by harpoons
This year, however, it has taken the bait
of the travis bottom lines-of the Capt
Ann cod fishermen. and many swordtist
have been caught in that novel way. VIVA

puzzles of their nature. They come ant

HONEST FRUIT observation-disclosures

HONEST FRUIT PACKING.--Diogenes
went hunting about the streets. seeking
for an honest man in the middle of the
day, with a lantern. IF we were looking
for an honest fruit grower, we should seek
for him in the middle of his peach baskets
and apple barrels. Notwithstanding the
vast amount of preaching on this subject
hardly one fruit grower in ten has ye,
found out the money profit of honest pack
ing. because they have never tried it
Men expect to be cheated when they buy
fruit in the original packages. But the
establishment and delight they experience
on emptviug basket or barrel and finding
it of equal quality all through-and espe
cially when, after buying again and AGAR
of the same grower, they meet the same
experience every time-is such that they
will submit TO very high rates to get tina
mans fruit 1t is true that there may b'
IL loss on the first shipments of honestly
packed fruit, but just as soon as the repu
tation of brand is established-and i
does not take long-tbe reward of sucl
honesty-or let US call it good bushes
sense-begins to come in abundantly.
The rule OF honest assortment shout,
hold good even if. as in some years, no
one package in ten can he branded " No
:" The scarcer such packages are, tn
bigger the price they will bring. Thi
kind of packing also has direct tendenc
to make better fruit growers. A man VIII
has had the pleasure of receiving an nc
count of sales, in which No. apples ar
figured at five dollars and his No. rs II
two dollars, will try and increase tn
quantity of No. Is by manuring his oil
chard, pruning his trees, and keepin
down the insects that weaken the tree
and disfgure the fruit. 1t is most emphat
ically true in the fruit business, that hon

CATTLE TRADE WITH ENGLAND.-The
best proof of the strong hold that Amerl-
can beef and mutton have taken upon the
British public, and of the permanent char
acter of the business, is the fact that En-
glish capitalists and traders are preparing
to engage in the business on an extensive
scale We learn of project in London for
engaging in the shipment of Texas cattle
at Galveston direct to England, instead Of
by the usual route of driving and freight
| inc them across the country, thence by
steamer from New York or Boston. In
| fact this arrangement is so far advanced
that n new four thousand ton steamer, the
! Brazilian, has been specially fitted up fol
he business. 1t is also rumored that the
steamer Great Eastern will be fitted up fol
similar traffic. 1t is understood that thu
Brazilian is the first of Il line of steamers
10 trade in cattle between America and
England,
The preudices of the common people Of
Great Britain against American meats
have been fairly broken down by the trans
rctions of the past few years Another graf
flying fact in connection with this import
ant trade, and one which is calculated tc
insure its permanency, is that live stock
like men and women. are improved ir
health and condition by sea voyage. A.
the deficiency in the meat supply of Great
Britain has heretofore been imported from
the continent of Europe, where cattle dis
eases have been prevalent, stringent Iegis
iation has prohibited the importation OF al
live cattle from European countries. The
| freedom from disease in American cattle
and the splendid condition in which they
are landed after their trip across the At
laptc. has exempted this country anc
Canada from the operation of the above
named legislation, thus facilitating the
introduction of American stock.

SMALL FARMs.-For common farm
crops and farm management Mr.. Geddes
thinks the most profitable results do moi
come from very small farms. A neighbor
of his owned seventy-five acres, requiring
for working two teams and II fifth horse
for doing errands From this small farm
he made enough to support his family, but
no surplus. 1t was paid for, and he had a
few thousand dollars besides from another
source. Another farm adjoining, contain
ing also seventv-tive acres, was thrown
into market. He bought it for $40 per
acre, or for little over 10000. paying
down $4,000, and having IL debt of $4,000
to be paid in eight years, or 500 year
and interest. His net property then con
ned of $4,000. and he had debt of
S4, 900, the combined farm of one hundred
and fifty acres being worth $4,000. This
debt was not large one in proportion to
his entire means, or only one NTH part ;
and for this reason his note was taken ill.,
stead of mortgage. The enlarged farm
did not require double outlay to manage
it. One additional team, in connection
with the two he had before, did all the an
imal labor One more hired man was
enough, ms everything was now more sys-
tematically arranged, and the labor ad
iusted to better advantage. His system Of
farming was grain with green crops fol
manure, cattle. and the sale of milk. In
stead of only $500 year, he has regular
| ly paid 81, 900 IL year on the debt, and his
land is nearly paid for.-Country Gentle

A BOYS CHANCEs.-A boy is an uncer-
tain affair, when all his chances are sum
med up; but if he should happen to hard
en- and develop into man, it is the one
blessing of his whole life to reflect that he
was born in the country. 1t is the place of
all others to he born in. The associations
of youth, of home, of school. winter. and
he farm, work and play mixed together
in delightful tangle. are never rooted
out, but grow deeper into the character
and become dearer to the being while life
passes and the revolving years hold out
it is worth more than university education
TO have been born and brought up on "A
farm of well-to-do parents. That supplies
what no learning from the books ever can.
That is a resource that stands by. 1t is
something to feed upon. And if the boy
as u man engages in business or a profes.
sion, he has stock of health and sound
constitution to draw upon that will be sure
to carry him triumphantly through when
the city boys are giving way all along tht

The teacher of Sabbath school class
we wot of, during the recitation of a recent
Sabbath school lesson, called upon one OF
his scholars to read the third verse of the
sixth chapter of Daniel, from which the
lesson was taken. The verse reads: Then
this Daniel was preferred above the presi-
dents and princes, because an excellent
spirit was in him; and the king thought
to set him over the whole realm. The
scholar, not being the most correct OF
readers, gave the verse Il rendering differ
ing somewhat from our translation, but
which eptomized the lesson and revealed
he courage of the prophet in a manner
that would do credit to many wise man.
lie read Then this Daniel was preferred
above the presidents and princes, because
an excellent spine was in him. This is
the truth of the matter. David had M
excellent spine in him. 1t is what Chris
tians need to-day. We may well pray
that God will give us the spirit and back
bone of Daniel. That boy read better

GOOD FAMILIES. There can be no doub
that, rs each person now living mas h"u
father and mother, grandfathers an"
grandmothers and so on, every one really
comes of as old family as every one else.
Moreover, every living eldest son is the
heir male of either the senior or a Junior
branch, not only of the family of the man
who first bore his name, but of progenltols
hidden still deeper in the msts OF antlqui-
tv We so often hear of families either
diving out altogether or ending in females
that we come to think that such fate is
fhe eventful end of all families, but this is
Tar from being the case. Every man Nv,
ING could, if he only knew where to ma
the data, count up from son 10 fatner'
from father to grandfather, from genera
ton to generation, until he came to Aham
himself, And this is the great difference
between GOOD families and families OF all
other kinds; the members of good family
can tell who their forefathers were, where
,bev lived, and who they married: while
those who belong to no families in partlc-
Mar are classed in body as those VINO
don't know their own grandfathers' OF VINO
perhaps never had any to know. Inc
GOODNESS of a family depends much more
on the number of its known generations
ban on any other condition. Given two
families in which the numbers of recorded
generations are equal, doubtless the family
Whose members have been the most Illus
trious would be reckoned the best OF the
two; but family of only two or three
generations, however ilustrious their two
members might have been, would GER
lainly not constitute what is known as a
good family. As in the case of many pop
nlar ideas, there is some little substratum
Of reason in this belief. If TO be educated
and cultivated is an object OF ambition
and if there is anything in the doctrine
heredity, it may be supposed that thu
members of a family who have been o
Importance enough to leave their names

New York can boast of some buildings,
bridges and other things that cost very
handsome sums. The following ave
some examples: The new Post Office, de-
signed by Mullett and built of Dix Island
granite, cost about $7,000,000. The Brook
lvn bridge has cost little over 80, 100000
up to date. When completed the total
bill will be about Sl4 100000, according to
present estimates. The City Hall, with
It's marble front and brown stone buck
cost half n million at the beginning of the
century, when labor was cheap and job
berry was rare. Vanderbilt's Grand Cen
trail depot cost two and quarter millions
but the approach to the depot, through the
fourth avenue viaduct and tunnels, cos
six or seven millions, half paid by the
Vanderbilts and half by the city. Tn,
Tribune tall tower is nine stories high, ha:
IL GIN shop and clock, cost about SbOO,0OC

Just about its present value. The u otol

A. r. Stewart lives in cost $2,000,0O0. The
Custom House cost 100000, The New
York Life insurance Company's building
cost round million. The Western Unior
Telegraph's building cost 50, 100000. TIL
County Court House was originally est
mated at $780, 900, but owing to unforseel
circumstances the expense was between
twelve and fourteen millions. nearly 81!
millions of which went for furniture, an'
three millions for plasteriug and painting
