Mr.. FRED MATHER, the well-known
pisciculturist, is editing a very interest
ing fishing department in the Chicago
Field. In a recent article he refers to
the reports that trichina had been
found in fish, dissents therefrom vigor-
ously, and offers to eat any fish said to
be affected by them. Mr.. Mather then
enters into some details on the general
subject of parasites in man, and finally
sums up as follows "We think we are
correct in asserting that, SO far as is
known, there is no evidence that any
human being has suffered from parasites
produced by eating fish" Mr.. Mather
speaks as one having authority, and his
opinion will tend to allay any alarm
that the reports may have created.

The officer on deck who spoke to me, told
me to be sure not to mention q word about
having seen the vessel on fire; that they had
her crew aboard. He also said: elf you
make any statement or report about what
you have seen, you had better look out for
yourself on your next voyage out" The
steamer was built of iron, had no name on
name on her stern or bows. She had sever:
al boats at the davits, more than steamships
usually carry, and did not appear to have
at all the appearance of war vessel or
merchant steamer. Her decks had lots of

AT REST


A ddlet folding OF earth-wearled hands,
Never too strong at welding life's hard oar,
A gentle closing Of the eyes that looked
So often, fot outlines Of a coming shore.
A glad renouncing Of hopes that died,
ready yielding Of lifes golden crown,
The utter peace that comcth after toll,
The tranquil joy of laying burdens down.
'Tis hard lesson for tender heart
Where close press clinging arms, and truest
love,
To know these deartf ones must yield theii
place
To earth-clods, pressing that same heart
above.
To know the violet growing DER the breast,
Will speak its words of tenderness for thee,
To cease from lifes glad singing, q so soon,
And feel they will not miss thy harmony.
But now they rest,-the pallor on the brow,
The fallen lid, the tircless calm of death,
These are the tokens of the victory
That comes not till we yield our mortal breath
Two quiet folded hands, a pulseless breast,
A glory unseen, and a dream of light,
The oars are useless, for the tide is up,
The sailor drif.ed out beyond our night,
