Fish and Fishermen.

Trout are caught in the Truckee
River, Nov, so easily that any one
with a bit of crooked wire tied to q
stick can get a basketful.
Winter fishing in Lake Manitoba
has become quite an Industry, several
hundred persons being engaged in it.
The fish is sold on the ice at a cent
and Il quarter a pound, or three cents
delivered at the railway.
In Lord Manstield's fishing grounds,
near Scone Palace on the Tay, a sal
mon weighing eighty pounds was re-
Gently taken. 1t was returned to it's
element. The heaviest Tay fish on
record weighed seventy pounds.
In 1872 1000 marked salmon were
turned into the Weser, but not until
recently was the first capture reported.
The fish WIS taken near the place
where it was put into the water. 1t
weighed thirty pounds, and its marks
showed that it was thirteen years old
in 1872. e
A race between a trout and a water
snake was recently witnessed near
Oswege, N. Y. The fish was on It's
spawning ground, and kept swimming
about in circle, a little in advance
of it's pursuer. The snake finally
caught the fish by the tail, but the
trout had the use of its fins, and kept
its body we'll ahead of the snake. The
snake then backed up toward shore,
and with one final effort drew the fish
out of the water and swallowed it.

DISMISSAL of the Dent

"a statement made by the counsel

ton at the recent investigation into
the management of the cemetery's at

of cremation than W. before,h said .
gentleman who was present at the in
vestigatiOn to a Mail and Express re-
porter. This was, That it was most
injudieions to allow relatives or friends
to be present when remains which had
long been in a grave were taken out to-
be transferred to some ether place, be-
cause the coffin was likely to nave be-
come decayed and the remains had to
be taken up with a shoveg. just think
of that! ( actually believe Ed rather
have the urn idea adopted in place OF
the present burial system, odd as it
seems"
An officer of q cremation company,
when asked by q reporter for particu-
lars regarding the mode of aisposing
of the dead suggested by the above
remark, said that from all observations
cremation is destined at no distant
day to supersede the practice of grave
barials because it had none of their
offensive features. "As now conduct
ed at Gotha. Milan, and other points
of Europe" he added cremation is
not for Il moment to be c~onfounded
with the offensive custom of burning
ON the open pyre, as practiced by the
ancients. 1t is effected in Il super.
heated air chamber, which allows no
contact OF flame or fuel with the body,
while all the gases and volatile pro.
ducts of combustion are completely re-
generated and rendered %innocuous and
o,lorless before being liberated. Why,
an approved modern crematory might
be erected in Madison square, and out
for transporting the dead bodies
thither, could not be an otfense to any
one. The process is accompanied with
no repnlsive sight, sound, smell, noise
or smoke"
"What is this process?2 was asked.
"The body, covered with a pail, Is
placed or a catafalque in the chapel
| or reception hall, whence it descends
noiselessly by means of an elevator to
the in%oinerating chamber. This, by
means of ~superheated air, has been
raised to a white heat at a tempera-
ture Of about 1000 degrees fahrenheit.
| When opened to receive the body the
in-rushing cold air cools this chamber
to a delicate rose tint, and the body.
after remaining IN hour in this bath of
rosy light, is completely decomposed.
Nothing remains but a few pounds
(about 4 per cent of the original
weight of clean, pure, pearly ashes.
These are then taken out and put in IN
urn of terra Gotta, marble, or other
suitable material, and placed in a
niche of the co%lumbarium or delivered
to the friends of the deceased"
What is the usual cost of crema-
tionpn
1.-The cost of such a disposal Of the
human body, after it reaches the Gre
matory, is from $40 to S25, according
to circumstances. To this may be
added, If desired, S. for an urn and
$40 each for a niche in the colum-
barium, where the urn may be kept,
with an inscribed tablet placed in the
wall below the niche commemorative
of the deceased. Thus the entire ex.

removed the oaks will grow rapidly
and completely occupy the ground.
Oaks are easy to propagate, as the
acorns can be obtained at small cost
and are almost certain to terminate.
Acorns are much easier to manage
than large nuts like those produced on
the hickory or pecan tree. They can
be planted where it is desired to have
them grow, or in nursery rows, from
which the small trees may be taken up
when they r at a suitable size to
transplant. The value of the oak can
scarcely be overestimated. The wood
is excellent for fuel, timber and posts.
The trees afford good shade, and
would be regarded as highly orna-
mental il they were not SO common.

Raising Oak Trees.

During the past few years large
quantities of acorns have been taken
from this country for the purpose OF
planting. White-oak acorn are pre-
ferred, and they have been CHIEFLY OBJ
tanned in the state of Missouri. They
are generally planted on sandy 0
broken land that is intended for past
uring sheep. In Great Britain sheep
are accustomed to eat acorns, and 1T
is considered profitable to raise sheep
for food. No variety of oak has re-
ceived much attention at the hands of
the planters of fruit trees, They state
that the tree makes a very slow
growth, and for this reason they prefer
to plant trees that grow rapidly and
furnish fuel and timber in a shorter
time. A foreign writer suggests that
oaks may be raised to excellent adj
vantage in connection with other va
rieties of trees that grow rapidly. He
admits that oaks grow slowly while
they are young, but states that they
increase in size rapidly when they are
fifteen II twenty years old. He there
fore recommends planting a rev Of
oaks between the rows of quick-grow.

young English women of the same
