We do not hold ourselves responsible
for the opinions expressed by our cor
rcspondents.-ED
LUNATlC ASYLUM ROAD.
EDIToR BULLETIN: We, the resi-
dents in the neighborhood of the
Lunatic Asylum, are under obliga-
ton to you for having formerly, on
more occasions than one, called the
attention of the government to the
bad condition of our road and advo-
Gated practical recognition of our
just demands. We had hoped that
your earnest and reiterated represen-
tations would have resulted in some
little attention being paid us long
ago. In fact, we were distinctly
told by government official that
when q certain road was completed,
then being made, ours should come
next. But, | am sorry to confess,
we were badly fooled; for the said
road was finished long ago, and is
now nearly ready to be made over
again, but our road has never yet
been touched. 1t is really too bad.
We would not have felt half so sore
had not our hopes been raised and
then disappointed. Better to have
said in the first place that we must
not expect anything than to have
deceived us.
But why cannot we have some
thing done for us as well as other
districts? We pay our road tax,
and some of us have done so for
many years, without receiving any
benefit in return. Our only way OF
ingress and egress, unless by going
all the way around the old What
Cheer House, is by the road leading
from King Street, opposite the Re
formatory School gate. Nothing has
ever been done Tor this road but
what has been done by the residents.
In dry weather we can get along
very well, and do not complain but
when it rains the mud is something
frightful. So bad was it during 6
part of last month that my childrer
could not go to school for two OF
three weeks, and my neighbors
were compelled to keep their child
rem at home for the same reason
Now again it is in dreadful condi
ton, although not so bad as then
Will the government take no pity Oh
us?
l have just been informed, since
writing the above, that the authori
ties say our road is not q regula
government road, and therefore they
cannot expend any money on it.
am aware that this road was not il
the original government survey, bu
has been voluntarily given by lane
owners along it's course. Then, if
am correctly informed, because We
have been willing to do SO much fol
ourselves the government consider
we are not entitled to any assistance
from them. The neighborhood was
without road it needed one badly
the residents gave their land for th'
purpose of making one, and threw i
open for the use of the public; an(
now we ask the government to lay
out little of our tax money on it tc
make it passable in rainy weather
Is this an unreasonable request?
The elections are at hand. Thi'
neighborhood has good many elec
tors. The candidate that will giv'
us satisfactory assurance that he will
do his utmost in the Legislature t.
secure practical recognition of OH
rights may rely upon our votes.

Cigar Making.

The process of cigar making is rot
leaves are sorted out into bundles of a
hundred. The sorter first takes out the
stem from the leaf, and divides the
sheep from the goats, the dark leaves
from the light ones. The stems and
stalks are put away and used afterwarei
for making into snuff. OF course, a re-
gard for economy is rigidly enjoined
upon the workers and a premium paid
to encourage it. Each bundle is tied up

The Food Fish Of Alaska.

The greatest and most available re.
source OF Alaska is the abundance OF
food fish to be found in the streams and
IN the waters along the coast. From
June until September the fresh-water
streams, from the great Yukon to the
little brooks flowing from melting
glaciers, are crowded with salmon and
trout, while their presence in the bays
and adjacent sea is indicated by the
leaping of herds OF porpoises pursuing
them for food. Were it not for theiT
destruction by these ravenous fish, and
the fact that but small percentage OF
the spawn lives to reach deep water,
the sea and bays in the vicinity of these
rivers would become unnaYigable. In
the spawning season they ascend the
streams in such numbers as to render
fording extremely difficult There are
i've distinct species as classified by the
inhabitants, though no scientific CLASH
location has yet been made. Early in
June the Quinnat Ca very fine fish.

In July appears the Crassena Rubia
(red-Aeshed), and in August the Gar
bosnia (humpbaeked), followed later in
the season by the Kischutch, or black
mouthed. The last is considered the
finest table fish, though the Garboshe,
which is coarse and unfit for canning, is
the favorite with the Indians, and is
cured by them in great quantities for
their winter food. There are already
half a dozen canneries at work, several
of which were built the past year, and
the Alaska pack is becoming quite a
factor in the market. The possible ex-
pansion of this industry is practically
unlimited. Large quantities are packed
in barrels by the various fur and trading
companies. Of Fox and Shumagim
Islands, at the southern extremity of The
! Alaskan Peninsula, cod-fishing is car
ried on quite extensively, Three com
panies in San Francisco employ twenty
vessels in this work, catching about
1000 tons annually. In this vicinity
there are number of good banks, with
depth of water varying from thirty to
sixty fathoms. In the eastern end OF
Behring Sea is bank covering an area
of $4,000 square miles, which has 8

Marrying a Deaf and Dumb Man.

A very singular marriage was one
which took place at Leicester, in the
eighteeth year of Queen Elizabeth's
reign, between Thomas Rilsby, deaf
and dumb man, and Ursula Bridget, a
hearing and talkative spinister. As the
prayer-book required that the promises
of marriage should be exchanged in
spoken words, the clergy and civil au@
thorties of Leicester were unable to say
how this dumb man could be satisfac-
torily married. In their perplexity they
appealed to the Bishop of London, who,
with the help of another member of the
clergy. devised marriage service by
signs. The bride made her promise in
the usual manner, and the groom did
his part thus: Having first embraced
Ursula with his arms, he took her by
the hand and put the nuptial ring on
her finger He then laid his right hand
significantly upon his heart. and after
ward, putting their palms together, ex-
tended both his hands to Heaven. Hav-
ing thus sued for the divine blessing,
he declared his purpose to dwell with
Ursula till death should separate them
by closing his eyelids with his fingers,
digging the earth with his feet, as
though he wished to make hole in the
ground, and then moving his arms and
body as though he were tolling funeral
bell. st. James Gazette.

Indian Test for a Mad Dog.

An amusing and at the same time IN
structive commentary ON the new local.
self government policy in India is
afforded by the following resolution, re-
Gently issued by amunicipal committee in
the Northwest Provinces. The subject is
the destruction of mad dogs. ''It is no
doubt impossible to ascertain the degree
of madness of dog killed, and the only
possible way of determining the question
is that whenever the sweepers notice any
dog of serial madness, such as has
begun to bite and assault persons, they
should report it to the Munsarin, who
will issue proper orders for killing the
dog; and after it has been examined by
the native doctor. the person who will
kill it shall be rewarded annas eight for
each of such dogs The symptoms of
usual madness in a dog are-first,
attacks on people; second, not recogniz-
ing bis master; third, senselessness in
general. When these symptoms be
proved to have been truly shown by a
dog, such dog will be taken as mad
and unscrupniously killed on the spot,
and the person entitled will be awarded
annas four for each of such dogs

The drought and hot weather have
been SO severe here the past four or
five weeks that cotton has been
greatly injured and cut off in yield
thereby, Great many cotton crops
estimated to make full crops up as

later, have been cut short at least
forty OF fifty per cent since that
time. Turnip seed have been sowed as
many as two or three times and failed

"All is uneven,


And everything is left at six and seven."
One earlier explanation of still earlier
form ''set on seven'' is that God APP
pointed everything in seven days, and
that the expression was originally used
to indicate order. but afterward came
to express disorder This is not very
satisfactory. Mares explained "sixes
and sevens'' by reference to the game
of backgammon, but no explanation
that l have seen is so good as one sug-
gested to me by an ingenious friend.
He says that if we write down the or
binary arabic numerals we shall find
that all run evenly Q2345) until we
come to six, when the upper stroke
runs above the line, and to seven, when
the stroke runs below the line; so that
it may be said that ''at six and seven
irfegularity begins. Of course this is
mere conjecture, and no explanation
can be considered as thoroughly salts
factory until historical evidence corrob-
crates conjecture. but / think it is q
suggestion that is we'll worthy of con-
slderation. The Aat&quGry.
