farming cells. Two gentlemen of the place,
whose experience warrants them in trying
the experiment, purchased large fresh
water pond and into this they put 80 bar
rels Of salt water cells of all sizes. At a
rough guess there must be in the pond co.
900 eels at the present time. These are ex-
pected to increase in size or weight at least
three-fold in month or two, when they
will be taken out and shipped to the New
York market, where there is always great
demand for them. Here ON the sea coast
no one ever thinks Of eating fresh water

are considered great delicacy by city peo-
pie, and the larger the fish the better prices
they bring. To feed them, 5000 "horse
feet " were caught and kept in a pound in
the river, and twice week 700 pounds are
thrown into the pond, and by this time the
cells have learned to know that they are fed,

BISON ROBES.
Number Of the Animals Killed by Indians.


Though the Indians have the credit OF
not destroying more bison than they could
actually utilize, some tribes appear to have
been less careful. Thus, the Sioux are said
to have occasional ly killed thousands in
single hunt. Mr.. Catlin describes one of
those grand hunts, which occurred in 1885,
settlement, Mt the mouth of the Teton, when
about six hundred Sioux horsemen started to
ride down large herd of buffaloes, return
ing at sunset with 1,400 fresh buffalo
tongues, all of which they exchanged for
few gallons of whislsey but not one skin,
nor even pound of flesh, was saved from
the victims thus ruthlessly slaughtered.
A few such statistics as these go far to
contradict the theory that the Indians so
greatly respected these heaven bestowed
herds that they never destroyed more than
they actually conld use. The white hunters
have very different impression. Very
characteristics is the sort of apologize form
in which some persons officially described
as otherwise intelligent" vindicate the
slaughter by white professional hunters as
being more than compensated for, from a
bison's point of view, by the determination
of wolves aud Indians" large number of
wolves had been killed by strychnine. How
the Indians were reduced in number is a
larger question.
Very elaborate calculations have, how
ever, been made regarding the slaughter by
Indians to obtain sufficient number OF
robes for their own use in addition to
those sold year by year to various fur COM
panies.
OF the latter, the return for ten successive
years was ninety thousand annually, and,
As each robe involves the death of three
bison, this was no trifing item. One of the
most moderate estimates suggests two hun
dred thousand as the number of robes an
nually manufactured, and these it must be
remembered only represent one-third Of the

Queer Pnrtuersl,ips.

Ono of the most interesting examples OF
intelligence among the sea-crabs, is that of
hermit-crab, which seems to have perfect
understanding with O sea-anemone, that
fastens itself upon its shell, and shares the
food the crab may capture. This might BIO
considered an accidental occurrence, were
it not that the crab proves its friendship by
assisting the anemone to move TO its new
shell, when, by reason Of its growth, the
crab has to change its quarters and if the
anemone is not satisfied with one shell, the
crab tries others until its friend is suited.
A similar friendship exists between an
other hermit-crab, found in the Mediter.
ranean Sea, that is also accompanied by on
anemonc. hi this case the friendship is no,
altogether disinterested, as the anemone ia
used as decoy by the willy crab, which
gives it board, lodging, and travelling &C.
commodations, in return for its services.
The crabs called Dron,ig encourage the
growth of various animals and plants upon
their backs, and the spider-crab of our own
shores, known as the decorator, is invari-
ably found bearing upon its back thick
growth of weed, placed there by itself.
The Glass-crabs are SO transparent that
print can be read through them, and being
thus difficult to detect, they readily escape
the watchful eye of hungry fishes. From

Professor A. Landmark, chief director OF
the Norwegian Fisheries, has published
some interesting particulars of his studies
of The capability of salmon to jump water
falls. He is of opinion that the jump de-
ponds as much on the height of the fall as
on the currents below it. If there be a
deep pool right under the fall, where the
water is comparatively quiet, salmon may
jump sixteen feet perpendicularly, but such
jumps are rare, and he can only state with
certainty that it has taken place at the
Hellefos, in the DRAINS River, at Haugsend,
where two great masts have been placed
across the river for the study of the habits
of the salmon, so that exact measurements
may be effected. The height of the water
in the river, of course, varies, but it is as o
rule, when the salmon is running up stream,
sixteen feet below these masts. The dis
lance between the two is three and one-half
feet, and the professor states that he has
seen salmon jump from the river below
across both masts. As another example of
high jumping, he mentions some instances
Of Carratunk waterfall, Reumbec, in North
America, where jumps of twelve feet have
been recorded. Professor Landmark further
states that when salmon jumps fall
nearly perpendicular in shape it is some.
times able to remain in the fall, even if the
jump is foot or two short of the actual
height. This, he maintains, has been prov.
ed by an overwhelming quantity of evil
dence. The fish may then be seen to stand
for minute or two foot or so below the
edge of the fall in the same spot, in tremb-
ling motion, when with smart twitch of
The tail the rest of the fall is cleared. But
only fish which strike the fall straight with
he snout are able to remain in the falling
mss of water; If 1t is struck obliquely, the
Ash is carried back into the stream below.
This Professor Landmark believes to be the
explanation of salmon passing falls with a
clear descent of sixteen feet. The professor
believes that this is the extreme Jump SAL
mon is capable of, aud points out that, of
course, not al are capable of performing
this feat.

AMERICAN SHOES ABROAD.
The Trade Being Rapidly Extended In thu
Countries of Europe.

Some time since the State Department
sent circulars to the various United States
Consuls, asking for information in regard
to the shoe and leather trade in the various
districts in which they are located. Re.
sponses to these circulars are now being re-
ceived. Consul Harper, at Munich, says Of
the trade in Germany:
German manufacturers have during the
last decade made rapid progress in this in.
dustry. There have been founded large
factories that produce first-rate goods quite
equal to those produced in other countries.
No money has been spared to introduce the
very best machinery, sons of the most
prominent houses being sent to America,
England and France to study the trade and
its bearings. The American method of
manufacture has had the special attention
of the leading firms. The result is that
many factories are completely furnished
conducted on American plans. In fact, the
German manufacturers are endeavoring to
elevate their production to the highest de-
gree of perfection. The time is not far dis.

Consul Russell writes from Liverpool;
American leather Is sent here with a
quantity of waste attached, which English
tanners would render into glue and not be
at the trouble and expense of tanning. There
is something in the American process which
robs the pelts of large portion of its glutin-
Gus parts and makes the texture dry. 1t is
found necessary for buyers of American
sides, before they can be used, to rid them
of much offal before they cut them up.
This is waste. 1t would enhance the value
of the sides if American tanners would cut
these off and make glue pieces of them.
s** There are no bona fde American
made boots sold here, though there are sew
eral so-called American stores. The goods
sold in them are manufactured, as the pro-
prietors say, on the American principle.
There are no import duties on leather, either

How peopIs Live In Washington.

Life is comparatively easy in Washington.
People do not work so late at night, nor do
they get up 80 early in the morning rs in
other cities. There are no all-night cars on
our street railways, and the day begins on
the car lines at $40 in the morning, an
hour when New York seems to be all alive
in summer. There are 10000 breakfast
tables in Washington, and at 10, 900 Of them
The bell rings to sit down at 8 o'clock. In
cities like New York, Philadelphia, Boston
and Chicago the days work begins for the
vast majority from one to three hours earl
Ter. Our people go to bed early, too, and
thus cut the day off at both ends. 1t is safe
to say that Washington people get 730 hours
more sleep every year than do those of her
sister cities. No wonder, then, that travel
ers remark upon the sickness Of Washing
ton men and the plumpness of the women.

EDUCATED LABoRERs.
,oileae Graduates who Put ON Overaila
and go into Work Shops.

The fact is that the overstocking of the
professions is but the outcome of what has
been going on for more than q generation.
As in an army, those who command are few
and those who are commanded are the many
and do the work, SO in community, the
Tast majority should be those who contrib
ate to the material gain-putting it broadly,
those who work with their hands rather
than with their brains. But until very
lately, although one heard much of the dig.
nifty of labor, it was o dignity which too
many were willing to forego, and the only
implement Of labor which these considered
proper for their hands was pen. Their
fathers did not all share this feeling. Ex-
cept in that local class already referred to,
IN the last generation certain pursuits began
with work that is now unknown; he who
entered q counting-house went there early
in the morning, took down the shutters,
swept the floor and lighted the fires. A
student in lawyers office not only copied
the pleadings, but all other papers, carried
notes, went to the bank and did generally
what was asked of him. But the sons of
that generation have considered not only
that customs have changed, but that work
done by mems hands, no matter what, is
ierogatory. Hence, employment even as a
,lerk has been as much desired as any less
elegant occupation has been scorned. OF
course the supply soon exceeded the de-
mand, and the unemployed crowd, educated
and uneducated, is absurdly large in pro-
portion to the community and its wants.
The reaction seems to have set in. Some
young men of the present day have, IL would
seem, future before them which was de-
MED to their elders or was undreamed of by
them. Many of them seem now to feel that
no work can come amiss to them for which
their abilities are fitted-that no life can be
too hard, no privation too great which leads
to their development. It is significant
and not as matter Of regret but rather as q
matter of pride-that graduates of our uni
versities are found in the machine shops of
our great corporations, wearing grease proof
overalls and earning five cents an hour for
n working day of eight to ten hours, out of
which they pay their board. OF course,
these see their future they have measured
their own capacity and foresee their ultimate
promotion, though there Is none for the first
year. 1t is also significant that schools fol
mechanical instruction ere springing up all
over the country, and that some of our col
leges have themselves introduced it among
their branches.
OF course one does not mean that our col
