Increase Of Salmon.

There have been fears expressed
that the enormous consumption of sal
mon in this country will cause a search
ty of that delicious food fish. But
these fears are groundless. AT Asto-
ria, Oregon, all the offal of the salmon
used for canning is thrown into the
sea at the shore, the canneries being
90 situated that the. Pacific ocean at
the mouth of the Columbia river re,
ceives all this refuse. According to
the Portland Orego11id11 this seeming
Wastefulness is a means of constant
reproduction of the salmon. The first
operation in the canneries, the writer
says, is to relieve the fish of their en-
trails, fins, heads, and spawn, and these
are in almost every instance dropped
into the river. Much of the spawn is,
of course, eaten by fish or destroyed,
but a goodly share finds lodgment in
che bottom, where it matches. 1t is
well-known fact that the water about
the canneries fairly swarms with
young fish during the summer and
fall

GENERAL NEWS.

LONDON, Nov. IS AN attempt to shoot NJ
Ferry, prime minister of France, was made
yesterday by a young man who declared him.
self communist. The doctors declare him
to be lunatic.
The report that the prohibition against
American hog products had been removed
by the French government lacks confrma-
ton.
1t is reported that of two female nihilists
recently arrested, ore was executed and the
other killed herself The nihilist organ
published in st. Petersburg declares that aD
informer has been executed.
There are rumors in France that Admiral
Courbet has been defeated in Tonquin
though the story is contradicted. Another
dispatch says that Admiral Courbet has ad-
yised France to declare war with China
Chinese troops are being concentrated at
Canton.
The ordinance permitting the Philadelphia
Steam Supply Company to lay it's mains in
the streets of that city was lost in select
council by a vote of yeas and Is nays. The
frequent underground explosions in New
York seem to have inspired wholesome
dread of underground steam-heating.
Harrison Crews, colored, employed as a
baker in the Norvell House, Lynchburg, Va,
has been arrested on a charge of having set
fire to a stable. He has confessed to having
been the author of the incendiary fires which
have occurred there within the last three
months. He duplicates no one else and as
signs no cause for his crime. A reward of
$500 had been offered for the arrest and con-
viction of the incendiary.

Scwing-NIncIine Industry.

These remarkable items pour into our Office
daily. Mr.. II. S. FULLER, with the New Home
Machine Company, of Orange, Mass, writes,
May %, 1889: IT have used Hunts Remedy
in my family for over ten years. My wife
was troubled with catarrh of the bladder,
suffered intense pain in the kidneys and
loins, and urination was accomplished with
the greatest of agony. My friends thought
that she could not recover. We tried doctors
and medicine !, and although better at times
she would grow worse again. She was obliged
to use the uIinal as many as fifteen times in
n night, and was growing worse daily. At
this time my attention was called to Hunts
Remedy, and [ concluded to try it; and after
using one bottle she was good deal better,
the inflammation was reduced, and the water
more natural. She began to gain in appetite
and fet no pain in the back and kidneys.
She could attend to her household work
without pain, and this had been a great
burden to do, even the lightest kind of work.
After using six bottles she was completely
cured. Since then | have had occasion to
use Hunts Remedy for kidney and liver COM
plants, and found it to be just as represented,
and | consider it a most wonderful medicine.
/ would not be without Hunts Remedy in
my family; and l have recommended it to
my friends here in Orange with equally good
results"

A Mistake.

There are numerous ways in which
young folk can make themselves un-
pleasant to society. and one of the
most successful in this direction is an
attempt to be original. They imagine
they can turn the world round by some
eccentricity of dress or behavior, or by
some method of speech. In general,
they offend their friends, and delight
their enemies. AS a matter Of fact,
people had better let well enough alone,
take up the customs of those about
them, and rest assured that what the
collective wisdom of the world agrees
to do, is on the whole best. Here and
there may be room for change, and
possibly for Improvement. 1t might
be better, for instance, that engage
ments only lasted six months: that
drawing-rooms should be abolished as
useless, or nearly SO; that wedding
breakfasts were improved off the face
Of the earth, and that dozen other
alterations were made in our social
customs. 1t is very noble, possibly
very heroic, to pose as a Regeneration of
society. All the same, people who are
content to take things as they are will
find the world wag more easily with
them than if they themselves troubled
to try to regulate the laws OF glavita-
tion. In nine cases out of ten young
people will find the path of safety in
following customs which are the rule.
Originality may be exciting, but in
the majority of cases where it is tried,
it will be found to entail good deal
Of trouble, and not "a little personal
worry.

of steaming liquid were spread upon
the table. "Wife's soup is not as good
as usual to-day" but by crumbling
bread into it they man aged to make a

At tea the husband said
MY dear, seems to me your bean

Where did you get it?"
"Out. of the pot in the chimney

wife, that was my dish-water"
Baked beans, baked salt-pork and
rye and Indian bread were the luxu-
ries of Bean Hill. Beans every Satur-
day night, or the oven-tops would fall
in. Why on Saturday night? 1t was
said to be commemorative. In Indian
war times an alarm sent the settlers

Thanksgiving was regarded as asacred

Holiday Gifts.

Don't put off your purchases until
The last moment, but commence your
pleasant duty in good season. Next
to the happiness of the children the
chief delight of Christmas probably is
the buying of presents. Not the pur-
chase SO much as the search for what
will please 1t is not the amount of
money spent, but the amount of
thoughtful care which you bestow on
the selection. A pretty book, or a
modest pin, little graceful addition
to the wardrobe or little parlor orna-
ment, something that with pretty
forms combines practical usefulness
will oftentimes win genuine thankful
ness as easily as a costly diamond or. a
pair Of shining bracelets. 1t is not
easy to buy Christmas gifts, and not
every one can make proper selections.
Many man and many woman, who
does not need to count the shillings, is
often in quandary, when confronting
the wealth Of the stores, and says in
capriciOus petulance: "If l only knew
what to get for mother, brother, sister,"
rs the case may happen to be. Christ
mas shopping, therefore, should not be
the work of moment or an hour, at
least with those who have more than
one beloved one to provide for and
have the means to care for all. But it
should be task well thought over.
You should have your eyes open all
the time and when you see any pretty,
portable and presentable objects, you
should bear in mind that these are the
very things which you will want,
when the day comes along, and secure
them at once.

" Scot Free.o

The phrase originated from the old
word scot, or shot, meaning primarily
money, but used in the sense of a
reckoning. Hence to be scot free or
shot free implied that a man had moth
ing to pay, or was clear of any contri-
button. Shakespeare says, Though
! should 'scape shot free in London,
fear the shot here; here's no scoring
but upon the pate" Shot free also
means uninjured by shot; also, un-
punished.
