FISH-EATING PEOPLE,

The japanese eat very little meat. With a
population of 100000, the whole country con-
tains less than million head of cattle. Ofthese
less than 100000 fit for food 1t follows there
are but two head of cattle for every hundred Jap
anese, whereas there are seventy-three head of
cattle for every hundred Americans, men, women,
and children. About one-half of the cattle
slaughtered in Japan is eaten by the foreign pop
ulation, and the residue is consumed by the Jap
anese army and navy. COnsul-General Van Blu
rem reports that the people live mainly upon fish,
which includes cod salmon, mackerel, herring,
carp cells, skate, mullet, and catfish, while plaice
are plentiful and cheap. The consul also states
that one-half Of the people eat fish every day.
and the rest two or three times week. So as
to secure a variety, many of the fishes are eaten
raw. The Japanese, however, live mainly on
vegetable food. They have an acorn which grows
on small bush four feet high, and is plentiful
cheap, and very nutritious. This NUT it is said
should be naturalized in this country, as it has
the merit of being free from bitter and astring-
ent qualities. The japanese, however, are not
a strong people. They are small and feeble
race physically as compared with Europeans
They have, however, a high civilization of their
own, and are intelligent and industrious. The
meat-eating races are, after all, the most virile
and vigorous. 1t is the beef and mutton-eating
Englishman and American. who consumes so
much animal food which are populating the
earth. The rice and fish eating nations of the
East are not distinguished for either bodily or
mental igor Dem0rest's Magazine.

ENGLISH JUSTICE,

1t has been frequently said that there is very
little justice in law An extraordinary and
melancholy example of the truth of this is re-
ported from the English town of Leek. Two
farmers living near that place were convicted
upon the evidence of the prosecutor of commit
ting an outrageous assault upon him, and SEN
fenced to ten years penal servitude The pros
ecutor has just died leaving a full confession
that the injuries received were inflicted by him
self in the hope of extorting money from the ac-
cused persons and their friends. In the mean
time, one of the innocent convicts who has de-
pendent wife and nine children, has lain in Jail
and near death through Imprisonment and de-
spair. 1t is a slight consolation to know that the
memory of the heartless man whose confession
has been made public is held in such utter
loathing by the community that the utmost diff
fculty was experienced in hiring men to carry
his body to the grave.

FISHING IN A CORN-FIELD,

In Colorado is a ten-acre field, which is no
more nor less than subterranean lake covered
with soil about eighteen inches deep On the
soil is cultivated field of corn, which produces
thirty bushels to the acre. If any one will take
the trouble to dig hole the depth of a spade
handle he will find it to fill with water and by
using a hook and line fish four or five inches
long may be caught. The fish have neither
scales nor eyes and are perch-like in shape The
ground is a black mari in nature and in all
probability was at one time an open body of
water, on which accumulated vegetable matter,
which has been increased from time to time I'M
til now it has crust sufficiently strong and rich
to produce fine corn, although it has to be cult
waited by hand, as it is not strong enough to bear
the weight of a horse.
While harvesting the hands catch great strings
of fish by making a hole through the earth A
person rising on his heel and coming down sud-
denly can see the growing corn shake all around
him. Anyone having sufficient strength to drive
a rail through the crust will find on releasing it
that it will disappear altogether - Territorial

LOVES MINISTRY

] sit alone in the orchards shade,
Decking robe for my little maid.
Faster and faster the needle flies,
Tracing the daintiest broideries.
Gods beautiful world, around, above,
Is filled with the ministry Of love.
The birds and breezes, blossom and bee,
Live for each other, unselfishly.
Phebe, atilt on the locust bough,
Is all too busy to heed me now.
-Four little nestlings crying for food
Had ever mother such hungry brood?
One of Gods sparrows, singing for me,
Voices his faith in sweet melody.
Winds gently whisper of coming bliss,
Till apple boughs bend and daisies kiss.
In feathery beauty, the golden rod
Beckons the bee with a royal nod.
Kind Mother Earth on her tawny breast
Has taken the Graded grain to rest.
My hands lie empty, my work is done,
But my heart enfolds thee, little one.

The province of New Brunswick now has
within sixteen miles of 900 miles of railway in
operation, said to be greater mileage in pro-
portion to population, than that of any other
province, state, or country. New Brunswick has
mere miles of road than Portugal, Denmark or
Norway, and nearly as many as Holland, and
more than either New Hampshire, Connecticut
or Vermont There are eleven lines of road in
the province, the Chatham branch, nine miles in
length, being the shortest, and the 1nter-colonia
343 miles, the longest.

the last years crop of grapes; these are valued
at 100000. The progress of this industry has
been remarkable. In the reports of 1873 the
assessors made no mention of it. 1t is expected
that this crop will be doubled next year. In
some favored localities as high as 500 per acre
has been realized. One great advantage of this
kind of fruit crop is that half million of dollars
may be produced from 1 500 acres of land, while
to realize this aggregate value in wheat would
require $4,000 acres of first-class land to be
planted and well cultivated.

very careless in regard to their fowls and if one
of their flock, by some chance, happens to take a
particle Of cOntagion into its stomach and con-
tracts the disease, this first Bird when it dies, is
allowed to remain where its fellows can feed upon
it's flesh. There is no more certain method of
communicating the disease than this, and it is
not surprising that, within the next week or
two, -fourths Of the flock are either sick or
dead.
When taken at the beginning of an outbreak,
the disinfection is very easy matter. Three
