4 Busy Old Man.

The Emperor of Germany, in spite of
his Sc years, leads remarkably active
life. While undergoing his water-cure
at Ems, he drank, about o'clock in the
morning, his first glass of Kranchen,
and, with the assistance of light cane,
took stroll through the park. During
his walk his majesty chatted with the
ladies, the superior officers, the high
functionaries, or the little children
whom he happened to meet. AS the
emperor took Kesselbrunner water as
we'll as those of Kranchen, the prone
made lasted until 10 o'clock, when he re-
turned to his modest apartments at the
Curhaus for breakfast. The afternoons
were given up to business, for every day
brought messengers with enormous dis
patches from Berlin. Then the reports
of Gen. AlbedyI, Councillor WilmosI,
or NJ. de Bulow were gone into. At 4
O'Clock dinner was served, to which the
principal members of the emperor's suite
and the distinguished persons who had
been received during the day were in
yited. After dinner there was long
drive. Toward s O'Clock the old man re-
turned to the town and visited the thea
ter. often on foot. Long into the night
light might have been seen at the lit
tie window of his room, where he sat up
working long after everybody else had
gone to bed.

Why He Wanted to Know.
IFrom The Detroit Free Press


At the second battle of Bull Run re-
cruit who had just joined New York
regiment, turned around upon his cap
tain as an order was given, and asked: 4
Say, Cap, what are we going to do
now?
"Move by the flank to the left of the
regiment, was the reply.
" All right as soon move as not. :"
After the company had held it's new
position for a quarter of an hour, there
came another order, and the recruit
asked:
"Say, Cap, which way now ?"
"Going to advance"
Cali right, I'm with you.
The company moved forward with the
line and was presently hotly engaged
with Jackson's men. They had not been
at it over five minutes, when the recruit
slid up to the captain and shouted:
"Say, Cap, boiler as loud as you can
and let's see If L can hear you"

He says, among other things, that the
dreariness of the country between Alex

Pasha's soldiers can hardly increase it,
though they appear to have done their
best toward that laudable end. The in
genious three-handed game of robbery
now being carried on in the Nile Delta,
the soldiers plundering tie peasantry
and the Bedouins plundering the sol
d1ers, is intensely characteristic of the
East. But it would require rich
booty, indeed, to tempt any man to re-
main long in such region. From the
magnificent cathedral-like depot at Alex

ABOUT THE FISHERIES.

1t is to be hoped, says the New York
Times, that no Legislative or govern
mental action in regard to sea-fshing
will ever be enacted, for any laws made
In this direction would have for their
foundation the least modicum of COM
mon sense. In most excellent report
due to Mr.. Spencer Walpole, one of her
maiesty's inspectors of fisheries, it may
be found that the causes for the scarcity
of certain kinds of fish were always i'm
puted by ignorant people to methods of
fishing. There have been prophesies of
the diminution of the sea harvests in all
ages. Three hundred years ago herring
became scarce In Scotch waters, where
upon the Bishop of ST. David's declared
that this scarcity was due ''to the covet-
business Of the fishermen, who in time of
plenty took so many that they destroyed
their breeders" Not more than a cen
fury ago another prelate prepared a
prayer supplicating the Almighty to re-
store the blessings of the sea, which
threatened to be withheld from the
fishermen of the Isle of man because
new processes were being used. Now,
for one herring caught 100 or 800 years
ago hundreds are taken now, and there
is increase, not diminution, in the
general catch. It is perfectly true that
there may be local scarcity of fish, but
in the aggregate the catch seems to be
about the same. The question of supply
of fish TO any large center of population,
and consequently of distribution, be-
comes solved when transportation is con-
sidered. just as London draws its fish
from all the waters, so does New York.
That must be, however, a wonderful pro-
cession of fish which suffcies for the
great NAV of London, since it is repre-
sented, In food terms, as equivalent to
drove of one thousand fat oxen enter
ing London every day, Sundays except
ed" Mans efforts to drain the wide
seas of their fish will be forever futile.
We catch more and more fish in the
United States every year, out of the seas,
and still they do not diminish. Certain
kinds of fish may be scarce for season
or more, but the aggregate will be found
in few seasons to be made up again.
But, for all this, the idea which is enter
tanned about the impossibility of depict
ing the seas OF their fish does not hold
good to bays or rivers. These can most
positively be fshed out. It would be
perfectly possible to clean out every
shad that enters the North River, as has
been done with the salmon in the Con
necticut River. Then the work of ex-
termination becomes local and the en-
gines of destruction are all focused with
in limited area. AS shad and salmon
are anadromous fish, they are not free
rangers; and the following of their
natural instincts leads in time to their
complete destruction. '. ~

AMERICAN SILK.

The report of the Silk Association of
America shows steady increase in the
prosperity of the manufacturers of that
article in this country. The product for
the year ending July Both amounted to
$35, 000,0 900, or more than three times
the product of ten years ago. The num-
Der of factories has increased during
that period from sc to 398, while the
looms increased from ], 800 to 5000, and
the hands employed from $500 to 3D.
800. The wages paid increased from
100000 to 1000, 600, and many new
states not previously engaged In the in
dustry now have factories at work.
These states are Maine, Rhode Island,
California, Illinois, Kansas and Mis-
souri, The main part of the business Is
still, however, confined to New Jersey,
New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts,
and Pennsylvania. AS yet imported
raw silk has to be used in American
manufactures, as silk raising is still in
its infancy here; but the Americap made
silk is gaining an acknowledged superb
ority, and makers are taking every pre-
caution to maintain its standard of
purity and guard against adulteration.
1t is often tested with the very best
French-made goods as a standard, the
simplest test of purity being to burn a
small quantity of the threads. Ii pure,
the latter will crisp at once, leaving a
residue of pure charcoal only. Silk
which has been subjected to treatment
with heavy dyes will smolder a while and
leave yellow and greasy ash behind.
