He declares that one of the great

Our statesmen of smaller calibrc

SENATOR LAPHAM, of New York,
opposed the ten-year anti-Chinese-
bill because he believed that it
would disturb American relations
with China, being against the in.
depreciation put upon the treaty
by the Chinese minister. The
opponents of the measure in con
gress committed themselves to the
principle that all proposed lesisla-
tion which may affect a foreign
country must be submitted for the
approval of that country. If for
eigners do not Ike what congress
desires to enact, it must become
the duty of the President to in
terpose veto. In effect, the veto
power is to be lodged with every
foreign minister. And he can be
privileged to call the members by
opprobrious names if they pre-.
sumo to pass measures that do not
please him. That will be accord
ing to tho precedent that Lspham
and the rest of the Chinese set
Iare approving. Suppose that the
existing tariff system be submitted
to the British minister, and his
advice be taken. What do our
New England fellow-citizens think
of that proposition?

Mineral Waters.

The popular mind has been more or
less invaded by u strange absurdity in
connection with the idea that certain
spring waters contain valuable medicin-
al properties 1t also is strange that
the opposers OF mineral medicines are
among the advocates of TINS impure
water, made so BY the presence of the
dreaded mineral poisons. Now, | deny
that minerals are any more poisonous
than vegetables, or even rs much so,
since the mdSt poisonous articles are
found in M vegetable world. The
greatest objection to minerals is not
their poisonous character, but the fact
that they So long reicain in the system,
like = needle, tor example.
Now. what is mineral water? Ii is
not waller really. bat a combination of
water and accidental substances. The
mineral spring is found in the vicinity
OF various earthly salts, not needed in
the human system, generally, not or
dinarily in the best OF water. In most
OF these popular springs the water is
composed of waller and such minerals as
iron. sulphur. soda. silica. etc. none
of which are always needed by all per-
sons alike.
If. for example, iron is needed by a
certain patient. il does not follow that
all who seek the supposed virtues Of
these WATERS specially need Just this
m neral. The same is true of all OF the
other elements. Ii would Toe unusual TO
ind score OF per,ons all demanding
precisely the same medication. and vet
they all must take the same mineral
drugs. They not only take articles not
needed but take such variety as NAV
properly be objected TO by the reason
ably cautious. Indeed, while il is gen.
orally true that we, u q nation, take too
much medicine. il Is certain that he who
takes this all-healing water of ne
oessity takes a great deal more than is
necafal
Again, the mos. popular waters, with
some persons, certainly, are the most
offensive to the taste and 10 the smell.

to enter the room by man who pre-
tended acquaintance with him. Then
the usual practices OF bunko men in de-
frauding their victims were attempted.
He became suspicious, and finally fright

expression appeared upon his features,
and asmoment later he fell back in his
chair All of the men. with the excep-
ton OF the one who tells the story. fled
the room at once. He regarded the
affair as nothing more than simple
fainting fit, and used such means as he
was conversant with, Ia revive the old
gentleman. They were of no avail.
Then he slipped his hand beneath the
vest and found that the heart had ceased
to heath. Rough as he is, and aceus-
toned to scenes of strife, he relates that
he was staggered for a moment. and
stood, staring dumbfounded at the body.
Then he turned away. locked the door.

companions, but fled town on the first

The Homes Of the Goldfish.

Stretching for hundreds Of miles
southwark and soutbeastward of New
Ioundland. and sixty miles from shore
at the ifearcst 20 mt. is the Grand Bank
OF Newfoundland. that mystic table,
land Of the sea. whose limits and ma
tare are still underlined A little way
occaaward from its slopes the sea
reaches some of lis greatest depths, and
within It's boundaries are depressions
where the fsherman's anchor never
touches bottom Old codfishers say
that the Grand Bank is steadily rising.
and that few centuries viii md it jut-
ting above the surface. The Grand
Bank. with It's adjancts. is some six
hundred miles long and from two TO
three hundred miles wide. The shall
lows over il vary from ninety 10 four
hundred feet in depth. The Grand
Bank is, beyond comparison, the finest
fishing ground in the world. For cent
uries the fishermen have visited it, and
millions on millions of tons OF Goldfish
have been taken there, but still the
Weld is undiminished. Sometimes for
two or three years the fish will be
scarce. aud the report will spread
that the bank is "fished out, when
suddenly year Of unprecedented
catches will give the lie TO the
notion. For about six months in the
year, beginning with MAY. the Goldfish
swarm, not only over the Grand Bank,
but. in lesser size and numbers. along
the whole North American shore from
the latitude of New York 10 an unknown
distance norlhwar6. They are found
from the eastern waters of Long Island
TO the turthest extremes of Labrador,
and even up 20 the regions of eternal
ice. What lures the cod from the ocean
depths TO which he goes in winter is not
certainly known, but il is surmised that
he either follows up the small shore
fish or seeks the sca-cherry-a small red
berry that often grows on the weedy
bottoms where the cod is found. Ii is
also pretty well established that during
the summer visit shoreward the female
fish spawns. The immense race of cod,
far outnumbering all the other large
fish of the sea. is accounted for by its
fecundity. Nine millions of eggs have
been computed as the roe of large
specimen. and all the Goldfish caught by
man are mere cipher compared with
the billions. large and.small, swallowed
by sharks and other fish OF prey.-Cor.
