The committee concludes from the statement
that the volume of business in fruit-shipping by
passenger trains has more than doubled and
the income from freight thereon has increased
from sl2I. ~ from January LIST to September /
1SS4 to S2l2,SS1 from January Ist to September
/, 1888, amounting to an increase of SS5 100
which is largely owing to the announcement
given fruit growers by the reduction of freight
charges.
The fruit buyers, shippers and middlemen
have undoubtedly profited largely by this i'm
proved fruit trade with the East but it is feared
that the producer here and the consumer there
have not been materially benefited
The causes that have led to this result and
remedies to he applied to improve the future
condition OF the friit-growers of this State are
subjects tor consideration by this Convention.

Salmon Fishing ON the Coast o.
Labrador.

One of the most important of the
Labrador fisheries next to the cod il
that of the salmon, though they are by
no means as extensive here as they are
in the lower Canadian provinces, espec-
tally of Restigouche and the Bay of
Chaleur, on the southside of the river
st. Lawrence.
The salmon 60 up the river to spawn
returning, they are found in the ada
cent waters of the river along the coast,
in the late summer and early fall. The
number of fish annually captured is i'm.
mense.
The best, and in fact only real, season
for capturing these fish is few weeks in
the early autumn. They are caught in
gill nets, large or small, with a regula-
ton mesh of six inches. The nets are
placed along shore at the mouth of the
river, or across some channel of the
stream, and visited every day. The fish
entangle themselves in the meshes,
which are made sufficiently large to al
low the young fish to escape by passing
entirely through them, and are held un-
til the fisherman comes and secures his
catch.
The fish are then cut open from head
to tail, and carefully cleaned inside and
out, all the black skin being peeled of
the backbone. They are then soaked iu
fresh water, then in salt brine, and fual-
ly packed in barrels. There are seldom
more or less than twenty-three fish to a
barrel. As each barrel brings about SO
cash, each is valued at fifty-cents. This
is, of course, the first cost of the fish.
Salmon fishing is only in its prime for
about four weeks, between, say, July rs
and August rs. This fishing is plenti.
full all along the rivers on the coast, and
there is seldom one that has not several
fisheries upon it. should say that a
barrel of sailed salmon would average
about 200 pounds in weight. Salmon
are, other than above, preserved by dry
ing, smoking and canning. The latter
process is rarely, if at all, employed in
Labrador; the other two seldom. They
are smoked much as herring are, and
dried in the sun much as Goldfish on the
fishflakes.
Salmon are caught with the hook and
line by those who care to angle for them
and as the rivers and bays are quite full
at the proper season, 1t is work oil
pleasure and profit to practice the rod
with this king Of fish in his native ele
ment and at home, when he is most
abundant.

We have then confessedly to face the
fact that cancer is increasing in our
midst at rate which bids fair to become
more and more serious with the advance
of time.
In an article eutitled IAN Inquiry in
TO the Causes of the Increase of Cancer"
published in the British Medical Jour
nal' year ago, | drew attention to the
observations which had been made upon
the subject by the late Charles Moore,
whose investigations into the pathology
of cancer had brought under his notice
the incontrovertible evidence of the in
crease of the disease.
In the year 1865 he published small
book called the" Autecedents of Cancer"
the contents of which chiefly consists in
an attemp. to explain in what manner
the augmentation of cancer is influenced
by the circumstances of life prevailing in
this country.
For instance, he held that the intro
duction of corn laws, the discoveries OF
gold and sanitary impro vements, whereby
The well-being of the nation was con

predisposing causes of It's occurrence;and

~ corollsry of commercial prosperity, is
Intimately associated with the manifesto

Again, inasmuch as cancer ia charac
.eristic of the beslthly, it may be expect.
ID to abound amid the conditions OF
health. The greater prevalence of the
disease among the rich than among the
poor can probably be explained in this
manner. According to French obser.
yer, the proportion of cancer in the
wealthy classes is about log in 1000, in
the poor classes it is ~ in 1000; or at q
rate in the former case of ten per cent,
and in the latter of seven per cent.
Now, curious as it may seem, cancer
is met with in the lower animals; and it
mas been said to prevail more frequently
among those which are ffesh-eaters than
those which are herb-ea tiers. 1t has been

actress, in which poor Mary's given away

The writer describes Mary's first appear
ance on the stage, which, because Of its
queerness, created q sensation. The
Sisters of the school had prepared q
small drama for commencement day.
Mary was to sing in the chorus in the
play. Each girl was ordered to appear
in plain muslin dress, high necked and
long sleeves and no jewelry. All but
Mary were ready for the drama, but,
Mary, where was she? But let the
writer finish Mary's first appearance on
the stage:
ave waited for her until minutes
heightened into half hours. The Sisters
fumed and fretteG, the audience waxed
impatient, yet still no signs of the delin-
quent chorus singer. Finally, when our
endurance wss nearly exhausted, there
was a general turning of heads, . con.
fused murmur from the front row of per-
formers, and, lol Mary hove in sight,
smiling and gorgeous, and strongly sug.

She was arrsyed in lavender silk dress
of her mothers, which made amends in
width for its shortcomings at the bottom
and top. 1t was, in fact, painfully low
necked, there were no sleeves to speak
of. but profusion of founces stood out
all around it; gorgeous bracelets adorned
Mary's arms, a large watch glittered at
one side, while her hair was the triumph
of the hairdresser's skill"
The Sisters stood aghast at the daz-
cling vision; they had no language short
of swearing whereby to express their
horror and disgust. Amidst the sup
pressed tittering of the girls Mary was
solemnly conducted to the dressing room,
where a hurried council was held as to
what should be done with the culprit.
To leave her out of the chorus would
seriously derange the harmony OF the
performance. Yet to let her appear in
such a costume as the one In question
was impossible.
AT last a brilliant idea suggested
itself to one OF the Sisters-she cut the
feet off q pair of white Isle thread hose

The Busy Bees Occupation Gone.

The spurious honey is now put up in
little square boxes, which sell for from
twenty to thirty cents pound. 1t looks

excellent judge to tell that it is fraud

The comb is manufactured with such
skill that but few can tell it from the
genuine article. 1t is made from par
affine or beeswax, and the honey is blown
into it by machinery.
Another kind is put up in glass yes

cane sugar, with the syrup of inverted
cane sugar and others by heating ordi-
nary sugar with an acid; but it all re-
