Beecher's Luxurious Habits.

Mr.. Beecher, has directed his mana

lecturing tour for next year. Mr..
Beecher's salary is $50, 900 per annum.
He averages to receive double this sum
from his lectures and a large addition
al sum from his pen. He is not rich,
however. He keeps open house with
his sou, with whom he resides), and
gives, loans, Endorses and does other
unbusiness-like things constantly at
heavy cost to his treasury. 1t is said,
that beyond his farm at Peekskill, the
house and stock thereon, and his lie
brary and brick-a-brack there and at
Brooklyn, the great word painter has
nothing to show for his large income
for each of very many years. His
library is so large that il is now being
catalOgued with view TO soon max

ed, it is estimated, $4,000 in books
and AS many more have been given
him by publishers. His house at
Peekskill, built not long since, Mr..
Beecher says has cost him $40, 900.
Others who watch business matters
closer are familiar with its growth, say
that $40, 600 would be nearer the cor
rect sum His cows are all Attorneys,

THE GREAT CANAL.

1t is now proposed to join the Bay
of Biscay with the Mediterranean Sea
by means of great ship canal, which
will save the voyage around the Span
ish peninsula. This would be work
second in importance only to the Suez
Canal itself. for all the vessels from
England and Northern Europe would
be. forced to use this means of cOmmu-
nication. ItwOuld he "a gigantic work !.
but itwOuld certainly pay in time. In
the meanwhile the Panama Canal is
being vigorously prosecuted by N. de
Lesseps. This is IL mighty work, for
it aims to join the Atlantic and Pacif-
ic oceans by u great ship canal cut
through Central America. A vast
amount of work has been done, and
the most gigantic effOrtsare being made
to finish this extraordinary channel by
the close of 1886. But it seems that
only 1-60 of the dredging, lI-5O of rock
cutting, and lis 1885,, 900 metres) of
earth Of excavation had been complet-
ed Oh the first of March last. The i'm
pOrtant supplementary work, the Cha
gres Dam, is not yet begun. There is
reason to fear that the canal will not
be flushed before 1900. Of the $780,
600, 900 francs subscribed for, 300, OOO, 900
have been spent in preliminaries and
plant. and 1OO,OOO,O 900 in purchasing
and improving the railway. 1t IS sup
posed that 100000 more of francs
will be required to complete the work.

THE DISTRIBUTION OF FISH.

One of the most marvellous and sue
cessful achievements of modern enter
prise is the introduction of new fish
food into the streams and lakes of the
various continents. The salmon of the
Pacific coast has been successfully intro
duced into the east coast of North
America. The delicious shad of our
waters is now to be found in the sea-gO-
ing rivers of the Pacific coast. Califor-
MIA salmon were successfully introduced
in 1877 into the Australian rivers, where
that fine fish had never before been seen.
The restocking OF streams with fish is
gong on all over the world, and will
eventually increase the supply of fish
food thousand fold. In England, our
American trout, black bass and white
fish have been naturalized. while the
German carp, fast-growing and food
producing fish, is already widely known
in the United States. This country leads
the world in fish culture. Our experts
do not despair of being able in time to
vastly increase the swarms of fish on our
sea-coast. 1t is known that from time
to time there is a short supply of salt
water fish, but experiments are now be-
ing made with the spawn of cod, had
dock, sea bass, Spanish mackerel, and
other denizens of the ocean, which
viii undoubtedly be successful. 1t is
said that an acre of water can be made
to furnish many times the quantity of
food produced annually by an acre Of
land.-[ From Demorest's Monthly for
July.

All of Buffers measures are severe

long ago he decided that the employ

old spoon scandal, but the green-eyed
