lie enclosed fare for her. The lady
boarded the first train, and arrived in
Kansas several weeks ago. She was
met by the expecLant farmer, and in q

from the Kansas man, stating that he
was so pleased with his wife that he de-
sired TO reward his friend for securing
the prize for him. Enclosed was a

banding to limit even surpassn! these
enormous figures. The artificial propa.

couraging results, first in Germany then
in France, aud latterly in tue United
States. having become one OF our most
important industries. The United States
Fish Commissioners say: Norway is
