citizen Of Alpena, who is on the inside
track IN railroad matters, we were as
sured that the building of the shore
railroad known as the Alger road, is

extraordinary demand for labor on the
Michigan railroads now in progress,

Table D,Hote Abroad.

Rreakfast on the continent always
mean +, only bread and coffee; TO the lab
orino people It means bowl of broth
and bit of bread, or bread alone. The
American, however, will find himself
served with butter and eggs or meat, un-
less he has previously ordered "plain
breakfast when he will receive The
usual bread and coffee. The noted table
d'hote is perhaps the least susceptible OF
change. 1t usually Is served a. U O'Clock
AN hour when the days toll is over
and the meal can be taken at leisure. 1t
is the social meal of the day, aud all the
guests OF the hotel are expected to meet
ut the table. 1t requires never less than
an hour, oftener two, and unless your
company is entertaining, 1t is long and
dreary process. Perhaps you have been
told that there will be ten or fifteen
courses, land If uninitiated,you have your
mind made up that for once you Will
have your usual "square NEAL" but
when the waiter, with neck-.ie and shirt
front of immaculate whiteness, brings
you a small piece of bread and dish of
slightly colored water called soup, you
proceed with quiet resignation, with the
DtIltI JUHb YOU VIII nave tllO pre-
sently; but your curiosity is only the
more aroused when the plates are
changed, and, after long, dreary wait
ing, you receive very small bit of fish,
then the table is cleared again, and you
are served with bit of chicken; like a
true American,yo have dispatched your
bread long enough since, and you take
chicken and ''play it alone"; but you
conclude it is "passing strange" when
you learn that bu.tered chestnuts and
nothing else, or bit of cheese alone,
will be served for course, and 50 you
continue for an hour or two in patient
expectation OF the meal that never comes.
My Yankee friend put it exactly right
when he said: "There is mouthful to
eat and then a square acre of silence" l
shall always respect the American who,
the other day, when he had borne
patiently until the meal was half over,
Numbered out to the waiter, "Good
gracious Life is too short to be wasted
in this manner, sir For heavens sake
bring me something to eat"

An Indian squaw Sacrificed.
winnemuoca (Nev.) silver State.


1t is now stated, upon reliable author
lty that the Indians at the burial of a
member of their tribe, in the Harmony
Mountains, some eight or nine miles
from town, actually sacrificed a squaw
on the grave of the dead brave. The
Indians are very reticeDt regarding the
matter, but admit that the squaw was q
witch and had by her influence with the
evil spirit caused the death of four or
five men of the tribe, against whom she
entertained some grudge. They believe
that the woman, who was a Bannook,
was in league with the evil one, and by
her spells aud lamentations could bring
sickness and death to those with whom
she came in contact. The Indians say
1t has been the custom of their tribe
from time immemorial 10 put such per-
sons to death at the grave of ono of their
victims and they consider themselves
wholly justified in doing so.R .,rhe wo-
man, We learn walked TO the burying
ground perfectly reconciled to her fa.e
and made no attempt to get away. A
few years ago a Young squaw known an
Susie Jane was prom unced a witch by
the Leading men of the tribe and sen.
fenced to be put to death. On the way
TO the place of execution she made her
escape and left town for while. As no
Indians died within gwen time after
her escape, It was thought tina. the evil
spirit had been frightened away and she
was Pardoned and permitted to return.

From the N. Y. Herald.

From the N. Y. Herald.
Fish Culture.
From the description which we
publish to-day of the work of the
officers and crew of the Fish Com
missions steamer Fish Hawk our
readers may learn how our supply
of food fishes Is being increased at a
rate never before imagined. At
present the Matching ship is busy
with the shad, following the fish as
they come inshore to the various
rivers that they visit every spring;
as every month more than a hun
bred million eggs develop young
shad in the soonest on and about
the Fish Hawk, the work of a single
season results In about ten times as
many fish as there are men, women
and children in the United States
Some of the small fry will never
reach a frying pan, for many lovers
OF shad live in the water and do
their own fishing; still the immediate
increase of the yearly "catch'' along
the coast may be in some sort esti-
mated by the experience of one OF
the great North Carolina fisheries,
which, in the first year that the re-
suits Of artificial Matching could be
expected, caught nearly ten times as
many shad as in the preceding year,
the catch being the greatest ever
known in their locality. Wonderful
and prompt though the results of
shad Matching are, the possibilities
of artificial handling of the Spanish
mackerel are several times as prom
islng, and there is hope that the
very large, very desirable and very
scarce variety of bass known as
crock" may be Matched in large
quantities on board the Fish Hawk,
for the ground, or water, on which
these fish spawn seems to have been
discovered, and the crock" being
about as prolific as the cod, which
yields several million eggs every
season, few parent fish will enable
the Fish Hawks nurses to usher
many millions of babies into healthy
existence. The success of fish cul
ture, like that of all other efforts of
man to assist nature, consists in pre-
venting waste. In nature the eggs
and the principle that is to vivify
them are wooded in different portions
of the water, so 1t seems almost
wonderful that such eggs as escape
the vision Of hungry fish can be fe-
cundated at all whereas on the Fish
Hawk not more than two or three
eggs in hundred fail to produce
fish. How greatly the Fish Com
mission has increased the number of
cod and salmon in localities from
which these fish had almost entirely
disappeared has already been re-
ported by the Herald. Its success
with shad is vouched for by the fish
ermen themselves, and there seems
no reason to doubt that the intelli
gence and skill that have done so
much will be equal to making other
desirable fish so plentiful that the
harvest of the sea will be at the
command of the thinnest purse
And one gratifying fact is that all
the commissions work costs the
country less per year than any one
OF several "star" postal routes that,
until lately, no one seems to have
thought costly enough to make a
fuss about.
