How Salmon Are Oaught.

Salmon are caught by what is called
1.-THE fishing wheel" This device con-
sist5 of jetty of rocks built out from q
point on the shore of the river, outside
of which is planked sluiceway, in
which an undershot wheel with large
taak buckets revolves. The sluiceway
was built when the river was at its low
est stage of water, and the wheel is
hung SO that it can be raised or lowered,
as may be desired, according to stage
of water. The instinct of the salmon is
to run up the river alongside OF the
hanks instead of mid-channel. By this
the fish can take advantage of the ed
dies below jutting points of land. On
the projecting points the Indians have
been from time immemorial taking sal
mon in large numbers by using dip-nets.
The jhtty built out from the point above
named makes alarger and longer slack
water b3hind it, and the salmon round
ing the point rush into the sluiceway
to get up the river. In the sluiceway
the wheel, which revolves in the cur
rent. is gagged SO as to sweep within a
foot of the bottom, and the salmon are
scooped up in the tanks or buckets,
which latter let out the water as they
ascend. On the wheel descending the
fish are thrown out into trough or
gutter leading to a pen below, where
they remain until taken away to be
canned. The arrangement of the sluice,
wheel, ETC., is q most successful one,
the catch of the adult salmon. which
are the only ones canned, running from
1,500 to 1000 per day. There is vir-
tually no expense in taking the fish
save attending to the pen.

How Peanuts are Cleaned and Prepared
for the Market.


Peanuts to be prepared for the mar
ket are placed in large cylinder.
from which they enter the brushes,
where every nut receives fifteen feet of
n brushing before it becomes free.
Then they are dropped on an endless
belt, passing along at the rate of four
miles an hour. On each side of the belt
stand girls, and, as the nuts fall on the
belt, the girls. with a quick motion of
the hand, pick out all the poor-looking
nuts, allowing only the best to pass the
crucible. Those that do pass drop into
bags on the floor below. When the
bag is filed it is sewed up and branded
as cocks" with the figure of a roost-
er prominent on its sides. The peas
caught by the girls are thrown to one
side again, picked over, and the best
singled out, bagged and branded as
''ships." These are as fine a nut as
the first for eating, but in shape and
color do not compare with the cocks
The third grade is branded as eagles"
These are picked out of the cuttings
of cocks and .iships." The cuttings
that are left from the "eagles" are
bagged, sent to the top story, and what
little meat is in them is shaken out by
patent shelter The nuts being shelled
BY this process, the meat drops in bags
below, free from dirt or dust of any
kind, and is then shipped in 2o0-pound
sacks to the North. where it is bought
by the eonfectioners for the purpose of
making taffy or peanut candy. 1t may
be here stated that peculiar kind OF
oil is extracted from the meat of the
nut, and in this speciality large trade
is done among the wholesale druggists.
There is nothing wasted, for even
shells are made useful. They are pack
ed in sacks and sold to stable-keepers
for horse-bedding, and a very healthy
bed they make.

His Interest in the Bow.

A negro boy in Galveston came very
near being run over by the locomotive
of the special train. Had it not been
that an old negro, at the risk of his
own life, seized the boy by the collar
and jerked him backward just as the
cow-catcher reached him, he would
undoubtedly have been cut to pieces.
A gentleman, who witnessed the heroic
act, said, to the old negro
Il suppose you are the father of that
boyP''

country, and sends de boy to town to

A Substitute far Black Walnut.

Black birch is rapidly coming into
favor. Birch is a close grained hand
some wood, and can be easily stained
to resemble black walnut exactly. It
is just as easy to work, and is suitable
for nearly, if not all, the purposes to
which walnut is at present applied.
Birch is much the same color as cherry,
but the latter wood is now scarce. and,
consequently, dear. 1t is with difficult
ty that cherry wood can be obtained at
$50 a thousand feet, while birch wood
can be obtained at any saw-miH for 81
per thousand feet. When properly
stained it is almost impossible to dis
tinguish the difference between it and
walnut. as it is susceptible of beauti-
full polish equal to any wood now used
in the manufacture of furniture. In
the forests throughout Ontario birch
grows in abundance, especially if the
land be not too Doggy. There is
great difference in the wood of differ
ent sections. Where the land is high
and dry the wood is firm and clear, but
If the land is low and wet. the wood
has tendency to be soft, and of a blu
ish color. In all the northern regions
it can be found in great abundance,
and as the tree grows to such a size,
little trouble is experienced in proeur-
ing large quantity. The forests of
the Manito,llin islands abound with it,
as well as those of the Peterborough
and Halliburton districts. The Musllo-
ka districts also contain a plentiful sup
ply. During the past few years large
quantities of the wood have b ,en eX-
ported from the Province of Quebec at
n low figure 1t is easily detected among
other trees by its height, large trunk,
and the peculiar color of its coarse
bark. Most of the perforated chair
bottoms now in use are manufactured
from it. There is species of BIRDS
eye birch, but it is very scarce. An
evidence of the weight and solidity of
the wood is the fact that it will sink af-
ter being few days on the water. This
is slight drawback to the work of
having it conveyed to the saw mills.
One of the principal means resorted to
is binding it together with pine logs,
and thus it is brought to the mill.

A Bridal Trousseau.

The London Queen gives the follow
ing description of trousseau prepared
in Paris for an Italian lady: The bride
is Signora Ruccellani, of Florence, and
the bridegroom Prince Odescalchi, of
Rome. The house and body linen are
magnificent, and comprise three differ
ent types: First, renaissance embroid-
cry, enriched with deep guipure, mas
siVe designs copied from bas-reliefs,
after the Byzantine school, and this or
naments sheets, pillow-cases, towels,
petticoats, and peignours; second, en-
broideries, in modern style, light bou-
quets of flowers and garlands of foliage
surrounded with fine Valencennes laces
for chemises, petticoats, and summer
sheets; third, Russian and Bulgarian
embroideries, with large flowers and
grecques in colored silks (the dye and
shade being guaranteed for washIng),
and some fine gold carbohydrates
principally serviettes, table-cioths,
sheets, and bournouses for the bath.
Among the twelve dozen chemises
there are some of very novel cut. The
top of the chemise is round and low.
and edged with light Venetian guipure,
below which is a garland OF Margue-
rites, embroidered in white satin stitch,
the hearts being pale yellow. The front
is gathered, and q bunch of Margue-
rites falls gracefully over the guagings.
The Greek sleeve has a similar en-
broidery, and the edge of the chemise
has wide, open-worked hem, bordered
with narrow guipure; the initials, Z.
o., with princess coronet, are en-
ebroidered on the left shoulder. The
wedding-dress, in view of the extreme
heat of Rome, is in creppe lisse over
white satin. The train is embroidered
with orange blossoms and roses in
white silk, with silver veinings and a
thick framework of lace. The skirt
opens in front over a satin tablier. COW

Sunarstitious Brides.

Some of the superstitions about Irish
brides are amusing. 1t is an i'll omen
to rise before the sun the marriage
morning to dream of the croaking of
q raven, or to see the shadow of his
wing fit by in the sunshine or to hear
the knock of an invisible hand, which,
however, should be listened for, or to
note u winding sheet in the candle. 1t
is still more ominous to meet red
haired woman on the 1st of May if the
wedding is to be the following month,
or 10 tread upon the poisonous beetle,
whose death bodies fire or pestilence,
or to speak with her lover before meet
inc him in church and there are many
other equally mysterious saws that are
only not alarming because there are as
many favorable omens on the other
hand to contract them.

The Tramp's Drink.

sixteen distinct patches on his clothes
and plaster over his eye, went into
Main street saloon, slapped down a
worn out dime, and bawled out in q
voice loud enough to be heard in Og-
den:
.'Give me soda water cocktail with
the north pole in it.
A crowd outside, thinking free drinks
were to be set up, crowded into the sa-
loon and watched and waited. The
man of rags, who had ordered the
north pole in his drink, ate up all the
lunch he could find, chewed up the
coffee and cloves, and was tackling the
mint. when the bartender quietly
asked:
What did you say you wanted in
your drink, Mr.. Gouid?"
Mr.. Gould steadied himself n mo-
ment, grinned on the crowd and at him.

piece of gas-tubing, about three feet
in length, which had been left around;
he got it and blew some cayenne pep

in the cocktail, and SmlIlngly handed
it to Mr.. Gould. Mr.. Gould took it,
