Hot Day-Sit Down.

The captain of the Central Station, De.
troit, had a day dream CT burglars rudely
shattered the other day by the event of a
gaunt, tall woman about forty years of age
who carried closed umbrella in a threat
ening way. She refused his salutation of
"Hot day, madam-sit down." but slowly
advanced to the desk, gave il rap with
her umbrella, and solemnly asked:
''Am / a human being-a persona
womanl"
The startled captain was so long in an
swering the question that she continued: :
''If amt want to know 1t, and that's
what am here fort
''What is your case2" be cautiously in
quired.
'Why, I've been passed over by the
census men the same as il | were dog !,
Not one of the gang has been near me-"
Haven't, ehl Well | suppose they
have missed a few"
But there is some spite work about it,
and you can't make me believe there
wasn't" she exclaimed as she waved her
weapon around his head. They might
accidently miss some little dwarf of a
woman, but how could they get past me 2
l tell you it was put up job, and don't
feel right over it."
''It won't make no great difference, l
suppose, unused thesCaptain.
'How do you know it won'ti" she in
dignantly demanded. Don't live here
Don't | count onel Haven't | Just as
many rights as any other woman? Do
belong in the census of people or of goats?
l know when | am stepped on as well as
anybody else! -
''It's too bad
''lt's mean, that's what it is! Every
old polk of maid on our street, every girl
and every old woman, has got her name
down, while I've been left out in the cold
asif belonged in Africal You've got to
make this thing rightI'
"Me2"
''les, sir, you. Now then, write it
down. Pm forty-three years old, and no
lying I've been married three times and
am the mother of nine living children. My
father was born IN England, and my moth
er in this country. | was born in New
Jersey, and my occupation is that Of a
widow who don't care two cents for all the
men you can pile into ten acre lot! Got
that all down 2"
"Yes, but you see"
81 don't see nothing. If am put in the
census, all right. If find | amt there,
you'll see me again. Good day, sirl"
With that she gave her umbrella an extra
flourish, upset the chair on which she had
rested her foot, and sailed out without a
look behind.

An Irish Manner of stopping "a Hole.

''Osr folks" have got a Biddy of tine
vertablest kind. She was a queer duel
and good natured ''as basket of chips
Well, last Sunday, as we were sitting dowr
TO dinner we found the old cat with thre,
young grimalkins largely engaged in the
nursery business under the table.
"Biddy," said we take this cat and heI
kittens and put them where we shall nevel
see them more" A hint of dreadful i'm
port but not understood.
''Faith sir, that | WILL"
The feline family was removed, and We
proceeded to dine. BY and by Biddy re-
entered, with an impression on her face
that seemed to say, ''be dad, guess they're
in safe keeping now"
''Well Blddy, what have you done with
the old cat and her kittens"
''Be gor, sir, they're safe enough, sure
dye mind the wood house forninst the
stablel Well | put them all in there,
and fastened the doors and windies. Then,
seeing there was hole besides where they
might get out, | stopped that up too and
so, you see, they won't trouble you any
more
We were satisfied ''av course" and we
ate our dinner Ill peace; afterwards walked
into the yard when We saw the ''dintical''
old cat and her kittens at liberty. Calling
Biddy we said:
did you say You oufastened the cat in the
wood housel"
Faith an did sir.
"And stopped the hOlel'
''Yes sir"
''Well, she had, that's fact but what
do ye suppose she stopped the hole with ,
She had stuck section of stove pipe
in it B.! We thought we would split. And
there sat enc of the little imps at the mouth
of it just as it crawled out licking its paws,
and looking as sausy as thunder.

Fish Facts.

A Washington dispatch says: ''Investi-
CATION into the history and present condi-
ton of the fisheries Of the Uuited States
forms one of the most interesting and i'm
pOrtant inquiries in taking the tenth census.
1t is placed in charge of Prof. F. Bard,
United States commissioner of fisheries.
His final report will include imports and
exports of fish and fish products from
1920 to the preseat time, besides foreign
shipments A few of these tables have
been prepared, and exhibit some remark
abel features, such as the growth of the
oyster export trade from SS5, ,0S9 in 1860,
when the first reliable information begins,
to 1853, 306 in 1879, and the decrease in
exports of spermaceti for candles which in
1886 was SS4I ,907, and in 1857 was but
S35, l2l, since which time it has gradually
fallen Off to a condition of absolute stagna-
ton. The work Is divided into several
sections, each one in the hands of an ex-
pert in his particular branch. X. f. Earl s
work has been peculiarly successful, re-
sulting in discovery which Prof. Baird
pronounces one of great importance. The
most important food fish of southern wa
tiers is the Spanish mackerei. 1t Is only
found in certain localities, however, and
has never been propagated because no one
knew when or where it spawned. Mr..
Earll, after careful watching, found that
the lower part of Chesapeake bay, known
as Mob Jack bay. was the place and June
the time. Next June the Fishhawk will
be taken to the spot and, withher improved
apparatus, take up quantity of the eggs,
which will be Matched on board and sub
sequently distributed in favorable locali-
ties. If the young fish survive, the we'll
known principle that they will at any risk
or labor return 10 spawn to the spot where
they frs. saw light Is depended on TO insure
their first residence in their new habitation.
About fifteen new varieties of food fish
have been already added, by the lsbors of
this department of the census, to the 173
common food fishes of this country. Prof.
Baird contemplates the formation Of per-
manent bureau for the collection Of statis-
tical information in connection with the
fish commission al the close of the present
work.

"Mr. Henry. -

At political meeting, the speakers and
audience were very much disturbed by a
man who constantly called for Mr.. Henry.
Whenever a new speaker came on the stand
this man bawled OUT
''Mr. Henry Henry Henry! call for
Mr.. Henry
After several interruptions of this kind
at each speech, young man aScended the
platform, and was soon airing his eloquence
in magnificent style, when the same man as
before was heard bawling out at the top of
his voice.
Mr.. Henry! Henry. Henry. l call
for Mr.. Henry to make a speech"
The chairman arose and remarked that
it would oblige the audience if the gentle
man would refrain from further calling for
Mr.. Henry, as that gentleman was now
speaking.
SIS that Mr.. Henry?' said the disturber
of the meeting. THAT can't be Mr.. Henry
Why, that's the little fellow that told me
to holler."

civil and not evily-disposed, threw him
in wenty-pound bass, and he ate 1t with
a relish. For six days he remained neal
me, reaping the harvest. He at last be-
came so tame that he stationed himself
thirty feet away, and received his fish with
evident pleasure. Nvr did he act the hog,
or display any ingratitude. He took only
the fish that were thrown to him. At one
time vicious biueish snapped the line

THE MUTE MINSTREL.

The fakes fall white and fast and soft
In noiseless whirl from the vault aloft-
And spread their mantle wide aud fair
On earth's brown breast through the darkeued
air;
So reft the rose-bush looks and wan.
Methinks her blooming is all undone,
And lestiess trees bend sad and low
Beneath their branches crown Of snow.
Arotin paused in his flight too long
In his frozen throat is a silent song;
And nevermore shall his dead heart beat
With It's love of the norland true and sweet.
Southwark his winged mates have flown,
But this redbreast died at home alone.
Through the Bonded boughs you may dimly
sse
bird of snow in q cedsr-tree
Ny life, dead bird, is the cedar-tree,
And my heart in its branches is dead like thee
Twas red as thy breast IN its love and youth.
But the snow-fakes fell on its trust and truth
When the singers HE them on happy wing
To leafy arches in pomp of spring.
Their merry carols may mock the Lutte,
But thine and mine shall-be chilled and mutel
