SINCE the beginning of cold weather
the Fish Commission has been busy
arranging and sending young fish to diff
ferent parts of the country. The fish
(German leather carp) are prepared for
shipment by placing as high as three
dozen of them in gallon can half filed
with water. The cans are then placed
in refrigerators arranged on each side of
the car. The carp can exist in these
cans nearly two weeks. The cars used
by the Fish Commission are said to be
models of neatness and convenience.
They are lined on the inside with white
ash left in its natural color. The refrig-
orators are arranged on both sides of the
cars, and at the ends of the refrigerator:
are large tanks for carrying water.

In O Russian Prison.

In the cells of the upper and middle
tiers are put the least compromised
criminals. All the cells are of the same
size-ten feet long, seven feet broad and
twelve feet high. The doors have each
two openings-one large enough for the
daily food and drink to be put in through
it and the other of smaller size, to serve
as q spy-hole for the jailers. The doors
are also each fastened with two pad
locks-the key of one being in the jail
er's custody, while that of the other re-
mains in charge of the commandant of
the fortress. The dish from which the
prisoner eats is pushed in through
grooves cut in a plate of iron which
projects from the interior of the door,
at the height of about fout feet from the
floor. The dish cannot, therefore, be
removed by the prisoner. who must
take his food standing against the door
and this with spoon which is at
tached to the plates. The drinking wa
ter is put into sort of Jug hinged to
the door. When. the prisoner wishes to
drink he must get down upon his knees
and turn this vessel upon its hinges or
pivOts. Food is supplied at eleven
o'clock in the morning and six in the
ONCuluS, bllu OlOIudLlly COuSiSlS VI Ostt-
meal Cruel and a quarter of a kilogram
of meat; besides this there is daily
allowance of kilogram of rye bread.
The prisoner bed consists of plank,
six feet by three, with straw mattress,
a sheet SO strong and coarse that it is
impossible to tear it, and a covering of
felt-all of which articles are taken
away during the day. The dress con-
.sists OF gray wooden jacket quite short
and tight fitting; short pantaloons of the
same color, and long felt boots. For
women the jacket is supplied, and a
gray skirt added. The prisoners must
get up at six O clock, and 90 to bed
again at eight. Ithas been ascertained,
by means OF the secret observations
which are constantly taken through the
peep-holes, that, as a general rule, the
prisoners spend their long hours from
their rising until their breakfast in
pacing to and iro in their cells; after
this they are wont to remain quiet for
an hour or so, only to give way next to
an excess of dcsolate despair which their
pitiable situation may well inspire.

THE Postoffice Department has begun
the payment of allowed claims of Post
masters who have suffered loss by fire
or robbery. so far nearly 1000 claims,
covering period of fifteen years, have
been received and examined. In many
cases the loss cannot be ascertained. rs
the Postmasters records were all de-
Stroyed, and evidence has to be taken as
to the probable loss; upon this the claim
Is allowed. The largest number of these
claims are from the West, especially
those arising from robbery. Allowance
OF these claims will probably not neces-
state additional appropriations, as in
past years losses by fire or robberies have
been deducted from the pay of Post
masters and the amount turned into the
Treasury, where it now remains.

AN evil which has grown to great pro-
portions, and for which a remedy is being
eagerly sought, is said to be engaging the
attention of Commissioner McFarland, of
The General Land Office. 1t is to pre-
vent persons who make what is known as
timber culture entries from disposing of
their entry, without having made some
improvements as the law contemplates.
Under the law one year is allowed for
improvement, but spectators have been
in the habit of disposing of the land be-
fore that period elapses, thus complying
with the letter while they violate the
spirit of the law.

COMMISSIONER DUDLEY in preparing
the tables for his annual report has made
the discovery that there are / ,OOO. 900 ex-
soldiers yet living in the United States
who have never applied for pensions.
These men are growing in years, and dis
orders contracted in theservice are mani
Testing themselves. The prevalent idea
that the pension-rolls should be decreas-
ing at this time is, he thinks, erroneous
They are, on the contrary, quite as like
ly to increase for some years as other
wise. The annual amount for current
payment Is now about S55, 900, exclusive
OF arrears. The Commissioner has in
formation that petitions are in circula-
ton praying Congress to pass another
arrears-of-pensions bill. Applicants
whose claims have been filed for the first
time within the last two years are not en-.
titled under existing laws to arrears.
The proposition is to have all limits and
restrictions removed, so that pensioner
whose claim has been established. or who
shall hereafter make a claim and prove
It, shall be entitled to back pensions from
The incurrence Of the disability.

Industrial Accidents in Germany.

A recent MonGtschrtt zur Statistic
deS DeitSchein ReictS contains an in
teresting census of accidents that oc-
Cured in all the factories and manu-
featuring establishments throughout
Germany during the months of August,
September, October and November last
year. The inquiries extended over
1854 shops and factories, employing
1852 workmen and $40, 295 women
in all, 1857, 548 individuals. OF
these. during the four months, 662 were
killed, eleven of them being women.
In addition, there were 1913 rendered
completely, though not permanently, in
capacitated. Temporary loss of work
through accident happened to 1854
men and 70S women, the total number
of those who had suffered being 1884.
Taking this calculation for the year
(although it should not be forgotten
that accidents fiuctuate accord NC to the
time of Year,, the total would be SO. 1872,
or about As per 1000 A further re-
port tells us that out of the %, 352 in
valided during the four months, Is, 139
caused cessation of work amounting
to 126, $40 days, in this Category being
including the stoppages from one to
fourteen days: 1852 came within the
second category or from fifteen to twen-
ty-eight days, causing an aggregate loss
of 80, COO. the third category, embrace
ing all sufferers over twenty eight DAYS,
including 5,68l, causing a loss of 287,-
913 days. The total loss of DAYS in the
four months were $40, $50. Among the
lists of industries that figure in these
accidents, the greatest number of fat ali
ties was experienced in coal mines, which
employ (not including women) 1882
work-people, in which the number
of mortal or totally incapacitat-
ing accidents was 292; iron and
steel works, employing 115, 12S,
showing eighty-six accidents; ma
chine shops. employing 161, 069,
with seventy-seven accidents; quarries,
employing s47.O37, with .sixty-four ac-s
cidents; building-works, employing a.
POI, accidents So: mills of various kinds.
employing 20. 103. accidents 81; sugar
mills, employing A, 402 accidents fifty
six, etc. Classifying the occupations
according to theidegrees of danger and
the number of fatal accidents. we find
that mines are the worst, and TO them
succeed building works. chemical-works.
distilleries and sugar beet mills, quarries.
works of lighting and heating (gas),
saw-mills and wood-workers, machine
works. metal-works, paper-mills and

The Mormon President, Taylor, in
structed his Priests and Bishops and their
councillors that they could not continue
to hold positions unless they qualified
themselves by taking more than one wife.
Of the few such officers who are Monog-
Amists, one has since resigned
rather than take another wife.
Many are in quandary as to
what to do about it, but they will either
have to take more wives or step down
and out. One has been appointed a
Priest of the Seventies on condition he
take a new wife; one, a new made
apostle, mere boy, is understood tohave
complied with the condition of holding
office.

The Gay and Festive Goat.

The cleanliness of the freight yard Of
the Boston q Albany Railroad is mat
ter of common remark, but it is not gen.
orally known that the scavengers of the
premises are the goats, whose headquar.
ters are in the vicinity of Franklin street.
They number twelve or fifteen, and from
morning until night scour the freight
yard and vicinity in search of garbage,
oats, corn, or anything else other than tho
ties, rails and spikes of the road itself.
Every scrap of paper is eagerly devoured,
while the delicacy most acceptable to
their palates is a cigar-stub or tobacco
quid. The goat is almost the only do
mestic animal that will eat tobacco.
They seem to prefer the garbage and
other refuse matter to good sweet grass.
They will follow cars loaded with grain
from one end of the yard to the other to
pick up the droppings, and for hours at q
time will wait around the cars to be I'M
loaded at Garland & Lincoln's elevator,
20 as to secure every kernel of corn and
every oat that falls to the ground. They
run around the moving trains with i'm
punity, just barely escaping the wheels.
but taking their own time to move when
their tails have passed the danger line.
There has never been a goat killed in the
yard, and this is remarkable, when the
number and amount of business is con-
sidered. They are cute and crafty,
never seeking trouble, but, when cor
nered, will show fight with their heads
and forward feet. Dogs and mischieyous
boys are their worst enemies. 1t is said
they keep the bill-boards on franklin
street pretty well cleaned of old paper.
and sometimes feast on new bill, if the
color is tempting. These goats ares of
course, kept for milking purposes, and
the question arises whether or nor diet
of tobacco-stubs and printers ink is con-
ductive to the quality of the milk. Were
it not for their cleaning the freight yard
they would be declared a nuisance by
the railroad men. A member of one Of
the hardware firms on Maine street had
little experience with a goat at the
south end last week. He was on his way
home, when the goat playfully butted
him twice, and was coming third time.
when the gentleman seized him by the
horns and threw him in the gutter The
goat regained his. feet, and retreated.--
