SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

Knoxville, Tenn, Is entering large.
ly into the manufacturing enterprises,
and among its latest industries are car
works.
The making of sassafras oil is nov
leading industry in many parts of Vir-
ginia. The raw root costs $3.50 for
1000 pounds.

Manitoba the increase of the lumber
product this year over last Is estimated
at $50, 900, 900 feet.
Washington Territory fir Is in de.
mand in San Francisco for car building,
and very large trade Is expected to
spring up in this lumber for the East,
as it can be proiitably used instead Of
hardwood for finished work. Chicago

Scientific engineers say that tho
bridge over East River is the last long
bridge that will ever be erected, and
that, had engineers known as much in
1870 as they do now, this bridge would
not have been erected. Tunnels are to
take the place of bridges T.

"FamIIy Dramas"

M. Roman Marsi has been sentenced
by the French tribunals to thirteen
months Imprisonment for extortion.
His mode, of operation was to attend
the police courts and to take note OF
any cases in which persons were found
guilty of trivial offenses, which they
would have special reasons for wishing
''to keep out of the papers, Having
made his selection he would write a
letter to the delinquent informing him
Tor her, for he practiced largely upon
the crcdulty of the female mind) that
he regretted, as editor of the Petit
Journal des 1ri6undtr, the circulation
OF which was enormous, to be COM
PEELED to publish report of the case;
but that he should be at his office any
morning from nine to eleven, and
would be happy to hear what they
might have to say before the article APP
peared. This letter rarely failed of its
effect, and when the delinquent called
and was shown into the editors room
he found himself confronted with a
large poster at the top Of which was
printed the "Pilory of Evil-Doers. :"
Upon the chlmney-piece was a statue
of Justice welding her sword; and
upon an open bookcase several boxes
with the words "Secret Documents. :"
Family Dramas" etc, painted upon
the lids. Marsi took care to leave the
visitor alone with these sinister articles
of furniture for several minutes, and
when he came into the room he began
to speak of the enormity of the offense,
and the necessity of making a public
example of the offender. He gradually
became less indignant, and finally let his
visitor understand that for this once he
would not publish the report of the
case. The visitor, delighted at being
thus spared the humiliation of pub.
LEFTY, was only too glad to accept
Marsi's proposal to subscribe to his
newspaper-a matter of thirty to forty
francs; the more so as Marsi assured
him that he would find in it most
salutary counsels for his guidance in
the future. His device was FINAL,
brought to the knowledge of the police
and prosecution, with the result refer
red to above, followed. Letter.

Fishery Statistics.

The Dutch now take in the North
Sea somewhat over 200, 900, 900 behring's
annually. These are sailed and bar
relied according to old Beukelzoon's
receipt They also take about 50,000,-
900 year in the Zuider Zee. These,
for the most part, are sold fresh. But
these figures are insignificant compared
with those of the Scotch herring fishery,
the export of which is 100000 bar
rels, or at least 100000 900 fish. The
Dutch have also very large anchovy
fishery in the Zuidcr Zee, which employs
1900 boats, and in good year gives
10000 baskets of $500 fish each, or
about $50, 000,00 anchovies. We pay
them very large sums for fish taken by
them in the North Sea. Fifty years
ago, in the time of protection, and so
of high duties on foreign fish, and
before the days Of packing fish in ice
and carrying it so packed to market in
steamers, we paid them, on Yarrell's
authority, 100000 a year for turbot,
and El5,000 for the Holsters that were
to accompany 1t to table, The Dutch
have also very large cod-fishery. A
great part of what they take on the
Dogger Bank is sold fresh. OF sailed
Goldfish Germany and Belgium took
from them about 1000, 900 pounds.
The Belgians are, for their numbers,
large consumers of fish. 1t is sold an
nually to the amount of about E170, 900
in the market of Ostend. More than
half of this is taken by Belgian fisher
men. The rest is bought, chiefly from
French and English boats. We may
suppose that Antwerp also does some-
thing considerable in the fishing BUSH
ness. A great deal, too, of fish is i'm
ported by rail from Holland.
The fisheries of Denmark proper are
worth about f250,000 annually. The
most important of the fish taken in the
Danish waters are the cells of the two
Belts and of the Sound Germany is
the chief customer for Danish fish. The
cod fishery of Iceland is worth about
100000 and the herring about 1900.
900 crowns, that is together about
E250, 900 year.
The facts connected with the fisheries
of Italy that are most worthy of notice
are the variety of fish captured, for th,
Mediterranean species ontnumber thos,
oOf the coasts of Western Europe; til,
smallness of the money value of tn,
capture (f1, 600,000), compared will
the number of men engaged in the fish
cries 100000; and the inadequacy o
the supply, for the imports amount X
1880, 900 d year The most valuabl,
product of the Italian seas is coral AT
ter that come the anchovy, the funny
and the sardine.
The fisheries of Spain are no excep

In that country overtaken every des
scription of effort and of industry. All

doned. But even the small take of theil
inshore fisheries is more than the Span

Value of Montana Ora sses.

1t is claimed that Montana grasses
are richer and stronger than any in the
world. They grow In punches, and
have solid stalks from six to ten inches
in height, whose heads are filled with
sweet nutritious seeds. 1t is kind of
standing hay" for Winter use. As we
saw it, it looked like wheat. dead ripe,
and it is said to letain. this color till
Spring. But while the pasturage is so
free and open, still every ranchman has
his own range with his cabin and corral
for branding service. After branding
his cattle and turning them loose for
the Winter, he Is careful not to huIaor
them on the approach of a storm by
feeding them at home. and they soon
become independent and learn to rus
tie" for themselves. As before men
toned, the Winter of 1S79-SO was very
severe, and thousands of cattle perished
on the ranges. Many stockmen are
now building sheds near well sheltered
canyons, as a precautionary measure,
and also cutting ard putting up hay
at cost of only about 81 ton. Ex-
perience is teaching them that with
their wide margins they can afford
more expense. The average cost of
raising steer, not counting the inter
est on the money invested is only about
81 a year. He will bring on the rancho
in market condition abou. $50, and at
the railroad S25. With such handsome
profits there Is no excuse for careless
and some of the large
growers are becoming more careful of
their stock during the Winter. They
will supply herder for about every
thousand cattle, whose duty it is simply
to watch them from a distance, ride
around the outskirts and follow up any
trails leading away.

He,ning at Tabie.

When at last the work of carving is
done, the delicate anu difficult duty of
'helping' begins. There can be no
peace of mind for the man who helps
his family and his occasional guests to
sny food, except soup ana oysters, both
of which can be accurately and fairly
divided. In the case of chicken he can
never give satisfaction. There is no
rule in this matter, beyond that of
giving the chicken legs to the boys,
which can be followed. To ask people
what part Ct the chicken they prefer is
simply madness. Either everybody
tells the truth, and demands the best
cut, in which case all but one will be
exasperated by failing to have their
wish gratified, or everybody will reply,
''any part, sit makes no difference"
or words to the same mendacious and
aggravating effect. Of course, when
the man who says sit makes not differ
ence" is helped to anything but the
breast, he becomes an enemy of the
carver Tor life, and nothing can. ..disabuse
him of the impression that he has been
wantonly insuIted. 1t is far better to
boldly help people without making ally
pretense of consulting their wishes.
They will then regard the carver az a
rude and careless host; but they will
acquIt HIM of any intention to press
open insults on his guests. Perhaps
the most difficult person to deal with
is the lady who says she ''prefers IA
Leg" In the presence of this most
trying person the carver is almost Ger
tain to make mistake. The chances
are that she abhors chicken legs, and
expresses, for the sake OF politeness an
alleged preference which she confident
ly expects to be disregarded. To help
such a one to leg is TO abuse her con-
fidence and secure her undy1ng hatred.
On the other hand, if she IL one of
those rare women who really have an
abnormal fondness fer legs, she feels
herself outraged if legs are withheld
from her, and decides that the carver is
a selfish brute, who has not sufficient
decency to respect lady's wishes. We
shall never know how many happy |
homes have been broken up, how |
many friends estranged, and how much |
miscellaneous misery has been suffered |
merely because the duty Of carving has |
heen ulaced IN the hands of the fathers
Of American families.
