understanding, she became engaged to

Eating a Live Fish-Japan.

ifrom japan, by Christopher Dresser.l
Resting on a large Cutane dish is a
mat formed of rounds of glass held to-
gether by plated threads, on which is a
living fish with gills and mouth moving
regularly; at its back rises a bank of
white shreds resembling damp isinglass,
but IN reality a cOlOrless seaweed, while
the fish itself rests on green alg@. In
front is pile of small slices of raw fish
garnished with a radiatlng tuft Of varie-
gated bamboo leaves. A portion of the
raw fish from the pile in front OF the liv-
ing victim is now placed on a saucer and
passed to one guest, and so with the rest,
until the pile is consumed. Then, to
my disgust, the serving maid, not having
enough in the pile for all, raised the skin
of the upper side of the fish, which ]
now saw was already loose, and simply
picked up slice after slice from the hy-
ing creature which, although alive, had
been already carved; nay, even the pile
Of flesh already served consisted of the
lower half of the creatures body. There
Is a refinement OF bnrbaric cruelty IN all
this which contrasts strangely with the
geniality and loving nature of the Jap
anese, for with consummate skill the fish
has been so carved that no vital part has
bsen touched; the heart, the gills, the
liver, and the stomach are leftintact, while
the damp alg@ on which the fish rests
suffice to keep the lungs in action. The
miserable object with lustrous eye looks
upon us while we consume his own body;
and rarely is it given to any creature to
put in living presence at his own en-
tombment, but, if being eaten IS to be
buried, this most miserable of victims to
mans sensual pleasure actually enjoyed
(?) that rarest of opportunities. This
cruelty is practiced only by the rich.

A HaDDy Family,

LFrom the Virginia City (Nev.) Enterprise.J
There was little genre picture in
aboriginal colors on the sidewalk of G
Street this forenoon that nobody but q
reporter noticed An Indian mother, in
her dirty red and black shOulder-shawl
and calico dress, was kneeling on tine
planks buttoning a pair OF cast-off blue
overalls on her 10-year-old son. She
smiled with maternal pride at the i'm
provement In the appearance OF her
youngster as the buttons were put in
place. The old paternal buck, in the
remains of a black dress-coat, and sport
ing n plug hat with feather III it, stood
off and surveyed the effect critically,
with head on side and eyes half closed.
The boy grinned with sheepish embar-
rassment at being the object of so much
attention, but as he iolIed his head be

NySter Shells.

4 new and valuable use has been found
for oyster shells, which until recently
were only utilized III making lime. 1t
he been discovered that the shells make
q capital foundation for oyster beds, and
within the past few years many thousands
of bushels have been used for this pur-
pose in the United States. The oyster
man selects good spot for the bed and
simply drops the shells overheard. This
is done in July and August, during the
spawning season. The spawn attaches
itself to the shell, and in two years the
shell Is covered with oysters, ranging
from the size of quarter to that of a
half dollar. Then the oysters are big
enough to seed, and are planted as such.
Sometimes thirty or forty OF such oysters
are found attached to a single she'll The
shells are worth only 3 cents per pushel
when thrown overheard, but at the end
of two years they are worth from so to
70 cents per bushel, making a very good
margin for profit. This method of rails
ing seed oysters is being rapidly extend
ed in the states, and may be initiated
with advantage as regards our British
oyster beds, which are not in too flour
IshIng condition.

SFVENTY-FIyE LOST.


The most careful compilation of the
probable loss of life at the Newhall
House catastrophe makes the number of
victims not less than Is. On the morn
ing OF the fire IL bodies were taken to
the morgue. Since that time s of the
survivors of the disaster died from in
juries received by jumping from the
windows. OF the 46 bodies, or rather
the remains supposed to represent 46
bodies, there was subsequently, identi-
fed those OF Robert Howie, David H.
Martelle and VIM. e. Wiley. To the
list of survivors were added the
names of A. Fl. Clahin, who turned
up at Chicago; Ida Daniels, who was
enormously reported among the missing;
Capt Edward Coates, who has been
heard from at Pontiac, Mich, and I. G..
Campbell, who telegraphed from
Omaha, Neb., that he made good his
escape. Adding these four to the names
Of the saved, and substracting the names
OF the eight who died since the fire, the
list OF those known to be saved foots up
lO2. These figures leave four persons
TO be accounted for. Whether they
made good their escape and left the
city, thus being beyond the reach of the
reporters, or whether their chsrred
bodies are yet under the ruins, is a mat
ter Of conjecture; still they have to be
reported as missing. These compila-
tons have been made upon the basis of

Appalling Disasters.

Appalling as is the loss of life by the
Newh2lI fire, it Is small in comparison
with that caused by tho burning of the
Brooklyn Theater six years ago last
month, and even that was small IN COM
parison with the loss of life caused by
the destruction of the Ring Theater In
Vienna, year ago last month. The
number of lives lost in the BROOKLYN
Theater is commonly given as 2S3, and
449 is now the accepted number of the
victims OF the Vienna disaster. But the
Newhal calamity was probably more de-
structive of human life than any other in
the history Of hotel fires in America.
