Mrs. Burgess Pets.
TAfalbOro-Journai-l

Mrs. +. II. Burgess lives in Sandwich,
Mass, on the banks of charming lake.
II has been her custom once or twice a
day for quite period TO feed the fish in
this lake. She first splashes the water
witt her hand, when in a moment there
may be seen approaching in every direc-
tion hundreds of large sinners, then eels
varying in size from one to about three
feet in length. Next tautles appear on
the surface, ten, twenty-five and thirty
feet away, their necks stretched, appear
emily to see whether it is friend or foe
who is disturbing the water. In less
than three minutes these various species
collect directly before her, and as she
commences to feed them the water is
fairly alive with them. They take bread
directly from her hands. and the turtles
will allow her to take them entirely out
of the water, and while she holds them
in one hand they will eat with the great
est voracity from the other. But the eels
were the most amusing. There was one
she called QuiHn, measuring about three
feet in length, that repe eatedly came to
the surface. and would glide back and
forh through her hands, and several times
she lifted him partially out of the water,
but he was careful TO keep his head un.
der. The moment he saw daylight he
would dart back as only an eel could.

Gems of Thought.

From Geo. Ellots "Adam Bede.'
The beauty of a lovely woman is like
music.
Our dead are never dead to us un.
til we have forgotten them.
A woman may get to love by de.
grees; the best fire does not flare ur
the soonest.
A man may be very firm in other
matters, and yet be under a sort OF
vltchery from a woman.
When death the great reconciler
has come, it is never our tenderness
that we repent of, but our severity.
Then they looked at each other, not
quite as they had looked before, for in
their eyes there was the memory of a
kiss.
We are apt to be kinder to the
brutes that love us than to the women
that love us. Is it because the brutes
are dumb?
If you would love a woman with
out ever looking back on your love as
a folly, she must die while you are
courting her.
don't want to know people that
look ugly and disagreeaole, any more
than | want to taste dishes that look
disagreeable.
There's no pleasure in living if you
are to be corked up forever, and only
dribble your mind out by the sly, like
leaky barrel.
One may be betrayed into doing
things by a combination of circum-
stances which one might never have
done otherwise.
"But, mother, thee know'st we can
not love just where other folks 'ud
have us. There's nobody but God that
can control the heart of man.
The vainest woman IS never thor
oughly conscious of her own beauty
till she is loved by the man who sets
her own passion vibrating in return.
Because, dear, trouble comes to us
all in this life. we set our hearts on
things which Gods will for us to have,
and then we sorrowing.
A man never lies with more deli
cious langor under the influence of a
passion, than when he has persuaded
himself that he shall subdue it to.mor
row.
When | have made up my mind
that | cannot afford to buy a tempting
dog, | take no notice of him, because
if he took a strong fancy to me, and
looked lovingly at me, the struggle
betTsen arithmetic and inclination
might become unpleasantly severe.
It's a deep mystery-the way the
heart of man turns to one woman out
Of all the rest he's seen in the world,

could bear pain as well as man. That
is not so. The fact is generally the other
way. Mrs. Edward Meyers, of Rondout,

out taking either, or moving a muctle, or

A Half-Breed Editors Opinion of the
StalWarts.

Thomas NJ. Nichol, editor of the
Springfield Republic, pays his respects to
the Stalwart wing of his party in man
ner that allows of no doubt as to his
meaning. He speaks out boldly, and in
plain and comprehensive language. He
directly and unaquivocally charges the
crime of Garfields murder to the hands
of the Stalwarts. He says:
All of you who glory in the name of
Stalwart, and who took part in the viii
LITIGATION of President Garfield last sum-
mer, and who sought to control his Of
fetal action or degrade and destroy his
character and reputation, are responsi.
BILE for his murder, land his blood is on the
garments of the whole gang of you, and
you cannot wipe it off. You have been
delt with very tenderdly touching your
grave responsibility for this crime, but
everybody knows that you are guilty,
and you feel it in your innermost souls.
Why, you are the most stupid fools in
the world to keep on provoking discuss
ion of these old matters. You stand as
acknowledged criminals, morally re.
sponsible, and you are guilty of President
Garfeld's murder, but against you, on
account of your friends and the good
name of the community. the prosecution
and witnesses are 10th to proceed, but
when you treat mercy as cowardice, and
to guilt add lnsolence and defiance, you
are no longer entitled to forbearance; so,
if you want reconsideration of the de.
clsion of the whole subject, proceed with

TEILTH IN WOOL.

other than that Of population were in
troduced, shows twenty-four woolen
factories that spun yarn, and 9,25S, ,269
yards Of woolen cloth woven in families.
valued at $4,413,000. In 1860 woolen
establishments had increased to 1000,
employing 49, 900 work people of various
grades. and paoducing goods valued at
SCI, 300, 900 annually. The demand for
blankets and clothing for soldiers dur
ing the rebellion caused general ad-
vaEcc in prices, and a corresponding in.
crease in factories, so that in 1870 per-
sons employed in the manufacture num-
bered $1,000, who produced goods val
ued at $177, ,00O, 600. The demand for
woolcn fabrics naturally increases with
the population. Since 1888 this coun-
try has imported wool, either manu-
factured or in the raw, to the value Of
over 81. 200, 600, 900, and for the past
four years, in the aggregate, $17O. .O0O.-
600 has been brought in; while the ex-
port has been comparatively trifing.
In 1876 the total duties ON wool and
woolen textures amounted to $40, ,9l4,-
036, which is the largest annual revenue
the Government has received on these
articles. with the exception Of those Of
the four years previous to 1916. By
this exhibition it viii be seen that the
wool grower in the United States meets
with remuneratiye reward for his la
bor. In fact, it is another evidence
that almost any legitimate occupation
in-this country "pays" when properly
attended to.

The I'll fated Tay bridge is about to be
rebuilt, or, rather, replaced 10y a new
one of similar structure. The Tay is
about mile wide, and subject to Sudden

will run alongside of the old one, whose
remains can be utilized to some extent.
1t will begin, starting at the south end,
with four brick arches, each OF fifty feet

eleven Of 2i5 feet, two OF 227 feet, one
OF 1872 feet, ten of 129 feet 6 inches, one
of 127 feet inches, and twenty five of

seventy seven feet in the clear above
high water mark. The trains will run
between the girders of these spans, and
on top of those on either hand. as in the

FISH As FoOD.

Pound for pound, fish is fully as nu-
tritious as butchers meat. It may not
seem SO satisfying, but that is because
the sense of satisfaction which we expe.
rience in eating is the result OF supply
ing the stomach with food, and in no di-
rect or immediate way related to the
nourishment Of the organism as whole.
Very fow OF the solid substances We eat
are Ggested, even 30 far as the stomach
is concerned, in less than an hour, and
nutrition cannot commence until after
digestion has proceeded for some time.
1t follows that the feelings of satisfac-
ton produced by solid food during q
meal must be due to the appeasing Of
those cravings which are set up in the
stomach rather than the supply Of the
needs Of thesystem inasmuch as butch
ers' meat is easier Of digestion than fish,
and it gives the stomach much more to
do il is easy TO say why it seems, at the
moment, more satisfying. i Looking to
the ultimate purposeof nutrition, fish is
the better kind Of food [; it is more read
lily and completely reduced in the stom-
ach, and nourishes the organism more
thoroughly, and with less physical in
convenience, than the flesh of warm
blooded animals. A common error in
the use of fish is the failure to recognize
that there are two distinct classes Of this
staple, looked at as food. In one class,
which may be represented by the mack
erel and the salmon, the Gil and fat are
distributed throughout the flesh, while
of the other, of which tho cod and the
whiting may be taken as examples, the
oil and fat are found almost exclusively
in the internal organs, notably the liver.
Now, the oil and fat are necessary, and
if the fish is not cooked and eaten whole,
or nearly SO, these most important parts
ore wasted. In cleansing fish, as little
as possible should be removed. This is
. point of the highest practical moment.
Fishmongers and cooks need to be in
structed afresh on the subject. To
omit any portion Of the liver of cod in
preparing the dish for the table is to
throw away great delicacy. A Gods
liver properly dressed is dish for a
gourmet. 1t is inexplicable how any
thing SO nauseous as the "cod-l liver oil F."
of the chemist and druggist can be pre-
pared from anything SO nice as the liver
of cod. Housekeepers and those who pur-
vey for the table should take care that
nothing edible in fish is sacrificed.
For cooking purposes it may be as
sumed that the fish is not only good
food, but food Of the best description,
well able to supply the needs of the sys-
tenn, and particularly easy Of digestion.
It is equally serviceable for the weakly
as f,r the robust, the young as the old.
