Tanning Salmon.

"The process of fish-culture," is set
forth in the Century, by Fred Mather,
who describes as follows the method
of marking fish: "In the mode of OBJ
tanning salmon eggs, a great step in adj
vance was made by Mr.. Atkins, on the
Penohscot, when, instead of depending
upon the accidental capture of salmon
with ripe eggs, he found that he could
keep the fish in pens, in fresh water,
until their spawn ripened, and thus
could obtain a hundredfold more than
had been got before. At Bucksport,
Maine, after the eggs are taken from
the salmon, a metal tag with a num-
Der on it, is attached to the posterior
part of the first dorsal fin. A record
is kept of the, sex, length, and weigh
of each fish, and the date of its liberia
ton, thereby showing what growth is
made up to the time of its second cap
ture. Areward is offered for the
return of these tags accompanied by
statements of the time and place Of the
capture, the weight of the fish, and
other information. A female salmon,
liberated at Bucksport, November
10th, 1875, which weighed fifteen
pounds after spawning, was captured
two years later, and was found to have
grown a foot in length, and to have
increased eight and ahalf pounds in
weight. MI. auckland also marked
salmon by punching holes in the sec
ond dorsal fin with a conductors
punch, but we have no records of
subsequent capture and rateD Of
growth"

Literary Meaa in Political Positions.
"Gath," in a letter with the above
caption, enumerates the following
American men Of letters and journal
ism, who have held political positions:
A person not often considered by
the newspapers is our Minister to Eng
land, James Russell Lowell. Consid'
ering the length and efficiency of his
services he may be considered the
most successful literary man the Uni
ted States has eve put into politics.
Franklin was another diplomatist
and stands unquestionably at the head
Of American diplomacy, and his work
in that line has hardly been equaled
by any ambassador ever known
Without costume, equipage and suite
or any considerable pecuniary credit,
he obtained the recognition of the Uni
ted States by the most powerful court
in Europe.
Washington Irving, who was a
friend Of Martin Van Buren,, became
our minister to Spain.
General Lewis Wallace, now our
minister to Turkey, who was formerly
in Mexico, has written some novels,
and the last of these, though Of some
what strained and mystic character
has had a very fair circulation.
Eugene Schuyler, our minister to
Greece, has written and translated
very much on Russia and the East.
John M. Francis, our minister to
Portugal,is a newspaper editor at Troy,
N. Y.
John W. Foster, our minister at pres
ent in Spain, was formerly the publish
er Of newspaper in Evansville, Ind,
and he has made a reputation for his
skill and fnesse in managing impor-
tant foreign interests.
Our minister in Venezuela, John
Baker, is an upright old book-worm
from Illinois.
John r. Young, our minister to
China, is a graceful and fluent writer
for the press.
George Bancroft was our minister to
England in 1916.

Fish as Food.

H. The efforts made by the government
to restock our streams with fish has di-
rected considerable attention to them
as an article of food in the community
generally. 1t becomes q matter OF in
terest not only to understand the value
of fish as food, but also the relative
value of the various substances as
nutrients. The elements that compose
the flesh of fish are the same that com
pose the flesh Of other animals, though
differing from them in flavor. To
compare the nutrient value Of differ
emit kinds Of flesh, the offal, entrails
bones, skin, etc, must first be removed;
then allowance must be made for the
water contained. The proportion OF
these differ greatly in different kinds,
and also in the same kinds in different
states. Thus q sample of founder con-
tanned sixty-eight per cent. of refuse
and only thirty-two of flesh, while hal
ibut had only eighteen per cent. offal
and e~ighty-two of flesh. Lean beef
contains seventy-seyen per cent. water
and fat beef only ~fifty-five. ~Investiga-
tons in this direction have for some
time been made under the supervision
of Prof. Baird, of the Smithsonian In
stitute, of Washington, D. G.
The value of all articles of food is
determined not only by the amount OF
edible solids, but also by the amounts
of their chemical constituents. The
most important ingredients may be
divided into three Observation-Disclosures
or protein, fats, and carbohydrates.
Examples of albuminoids are such
substances as albumen (white Of an
egg, lean meat, curd of milk, and the
gluten of wheat. Lard, butter, tallow,
olive oil, cotton-seed OIL, ETC., are fats.
Sugar, gum, starch, celulose (woody
fber), and glucose (grape sugar. are
carbohydrates. The carbohydrates
and fats are composed of only carbon
and hydrogen. The albuminoids are
characterized by containing nitrogen
in addition to the other two. The use
of the carbohydrates and fats is, by
their combustion in the lungs. to sup
ply the animal heat, and also to pro-
duce muscular forces or strength. The
albuminoids are converted into carbo-
hydrates and fats, and thus perform
the work of both; but besides this,
they 90 to form all the heterogeneous
tissues of the body, muscles. nerves,
cartilage, etc With albuminoids we
might sustain life for a long time, but
with only fats and carbohydrates IS
food we should soon starve. A1bu-
minoids are, therefore, the most valua-
Bile, the fats are next, and the carbo-
hydrates are the least valuable. When
the chemical composition OF a substance
is known we can readily calculate its
value as food.-cincinfaatt Neaos-

HosC 70 Bot Water.

Unjust tell you the old story Of how
the late Charles DeImonico used to
talk about the new hot water cure.
He said the Delmonicos were the first
to recommend it to guests who COM
planned of having no appetite. "Take
a cup Of hot water and lemon and you
will feel BETTER" was the formula
adopted: and the cup of hot water
and lemon was simply . little hot water
with a drop Of lemon juice in it to
take away the insipidtiy. For this an
ii bilious remedy the caterers charged
the price Of their best liquors-25
cents or more-and it certainly was
d wiser way to spend small change
than in alchohol. Few people know
how to cook water" Charles used to
affirm. .s.Tnhe secret is in putting good,
fresh water into a neat kettle, already
warm, and setting the water to boil
ing quickly, and then taking it right
off for use in tea, coffee or other drinks
before it Is spoiled. 70 let il steam
and simmer and eyaporate until the
good water Is IN the atmosphere and
the lime and iron and dregs onlylef
In the kettle-bah! that is what makes
4 great many people sick, andis worse
than no water at all Every lady
