a Fish Story.

WASHINGTOE, Aug. "a.
The report of the United States Fish
Commission for the past year shows that
over forty-iiye million Whitefish fry were
placed i'll the great lakes; that carp were
spread quite thoroughly over the Union, and
that samples weighing from five to seven
pounds are already being caught in south
ern waters. The only ornamental kind
propagated is the goldfish which is wholly
absorbed by Members of Congress. Shad 10
the number OF two hundred thousand were
planted III the Sacramento River eight years
ago, and now they are sold at Puget Sound
at twenty-five cents per hundred They
are produced by the Commission at cost
of sixty dollars per million.

VARIOUS QUA(KS.
Who Each with his own PET Scheme
Cultivate the Field of Human Nature.

There have always been qnscks:-legal quacks,
theological quacks, scientific quaclls and medical
quacks. Some of them are bland, oily fellows
who argue and smile the world into believing in
their favorite bit of humbug Others are pomp-
Gus parasites But they make it pay. Men seem
to love to be swmdled, stipula1ing only that it
shall be neatly done.
The dear public are equally liberal TO the cleo
trio and magnetic fraud. This fellow is a genius
in his line: he will put magnetic belt around
your waist, a magnetic necklace around yourch
or fit yOn with an entire suit Of magnetic clothes,
warranted to serve the purpose of ordinary gar
ments, and al the same time to cure all diseases,
from whooping-cough to hasty consumption
Most of these have no more electric or magnetic
power about them than resides in woflc blankets
or in grdles of sackcloth. Only when applied by
an expert is electricity of the slightest use as
medicinal agen. and even then its value is great
ly oyer-stated. What is the strongest possible
presumptive evidence iQ favor of particular
remedy: Clearly that it should have been pre-
pared by responsible persons of acknowledged

WASHINGTON, Aug
In compliance with the request made by
the proprietors of one of the popular patent
medicines, which are widely sold through
out this country under the general name of
''bitters," the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue rendered a decision in regard to
the liability OF such Quasi-medicinaI prep
arations to a special tax as beverage. He
holds that where bitterS are sold i'll good
faith as medicine, no special tax since July
will be required. An analysis of particu-
lar specimen of bitters on which this decis-
ion was rendered, showed the following re-
suit: Absolute alcohol, - per cent; water,
"a per cent; essential oils and tiavoring eX,
tracts. per cent Upon this analysis il
was estimated that the sample contained S.
per cent OF ordinary whisky.

TAKING COMFORT IN LIFE.-SOOner or
later, friends, the time for folded hands will
come to US all. Whether or not we cease
from hurry and worry now, we shall one
day shut our eyes upon it, and lie still,
untroubled by the stir and fret of the things
about us. Why not take comfort as we go
on? You, proud mother of beautiful, act
i've boy, Of what use will it be to you by
and by to remember how eXquisitely fine
was his raiment, how daintily spread his
bed, and how costly and profuse his toys?
What the child needs is mothering, brood
ing, tender resting on your heart and he
needs it every step Of the way from baby
day to manhood. Take the comfort of
YOU. opportunities. Never mind though
the dress be coarse, and the food plain, and
the paythings few, but answer the Iucs-
tionS, tell the stories, spare the halt-hour at
bedtime, and be merry and gay, conden-
tial and sympathetic with your boy. And
YOU, whose graceful young daughter is just
blushing out into the bloom and freshness
of wondrousy fair womanliness, do not be
so occupied with your ambition for her,
and her advancement in life, that you let
her ways and your own fall apart. Why
are her friends, her interests, and her en-
gagcments, so wholly and distinct from your
own: Why does she visit here and receive
visits from this and that home, and you
scarcely know the people by sight? You
are losing precious hours, and the comfort
YOU ought to take is flying fast away on
those wings of time that arc never over
taken.

OF PLYMOUTH CHURCH, BROOKLYN, n. y.
No man in the United States has been
written about more than Henry Ward
Beecher, but the main facts of his life are
told in few words. He is a native Of
Litchfield, Connecticut, where he was born
on the 9th Of June, 1913. His father was
the sturdy Rev. DR.. Lyman Beecher, who
rose from the anvil to be the leader of Or
thodoXy in New England. The future pas
tor of Plymouth Church was graduated at
Amherst in 1884. He studied theology at
Lane Seminary, and in 1897 became pastor
of a church at Lawrenceburg. In 1899 he
accepted call to indianapolis, where he
remained eight years, after which Ply
mouth Church, Brooklyn, became the scene
Of his distinguished efforts as preacher.
Before the war Mr.. Beecher was long dis
tinguished among the opponents Of slavery.
During its progress he visited Great Britain
as representative Of the Union cause,
where his eloquence assisted the efforts of
the journalists, religious teachers and other
prisons who took the same view of the
struggle as he did. Jealousy of the rapid
prosperity Of this country, the dislike Of
British manufacturers to our protective
system, their business relations with the
planters Of the South. the interests of the
aristocracy, who foresaw mischief to their
privileges in the success of popular govern
ment, and, on the part Of many who were
disposed to side with the Union, their nom
apprehension of the reason which delayed
the abolition of slavery, may be mentioned
as among the causes which led to an un-
friendly attitude of Great Britain towards
the Northern cause at the time Of the war,
when, on the other hand the non-contormist
and radical section of its people favored it.
Mr.. Beecher met with opposition in his
mission, and with great kindness as well.
His Oratorical gifts were at their best, and
he returned after a campaign which did
great credit to his abilities and proved of
much value to the cause he promoted. AS a
preacher and lecturer the subject Of this
sketch takes the highest rank, and as Il
writer enjoys distinction. His versatility
is wonderful, his Iiberality. Of thought and
sentiments not less extraordinary. His
personal appearance and the peculiar fasci-
nation Of his address, whether in private
or public, are so we'll known that nothing
need to be said Of them here.
