The Colored'State Fair.
Special to Commercial Herald.
JACKSON, Sept. Pain the case of
the Miazza heirs against Helm, Yerger
and Green the chancery court dismissed
the bill so far as Helm and Yerger are
concerned, but directs an account to
ascertain if any surplus over and
above the debt due to j. s. T, Green
by Miazza, deceased, remains in the
hands of the trustees making the sale.
The City Railroad Company and the
board of mayor and aldermen have en-
tered into a compromise, by which the
former agrees to place its track in the
middle of the road. The authorities
agree to increase the width of the new
iron bridge six feet, to enable it to pass
over.
The chancery court has been
engaged most of this week in
a tedious law suit, including
the question as to whether or not

James went on, thinking how much he
should himself like to be that successor.
''The good will won't be worth half what it
ought to be, and the stock is just falling to

Mr.. Chalker looked about him again
thoughtfully, and opened his mouth as if
about to ask a question, but said nothing.
He remembered, in time, that the shopman
was not likely to know the amount Of his
masters capital or investments.
''There isn'ta book even in the glass case

Mr.. James, whispering, ''and he don't look

Mr.. Chalker returned to the back shop.

repeated and then departed.

years he had spent there, the books he had
bought and sold, the money which had
slipped through his fingers, the friends who
had come and gone. Why, as for the books,
he seemed to remember them every one-his
joy in the purchase, his pride in possession,
and his grief at letting them go. All the

went up the stairs; then he left his. table,

the safe, and try the desk. Everything was
carefully locked. Then he turned over all
the papers on the table, bat found nothing
that contained the information he looked
for. 1t was his daily practice thus to try
the locks, in hope that some day the safe, or
the drawers, or the desk, would be left open
by accident, when he might be able to solve
a certain problem, the doubt and difficulty

How to Cook Husbands.

Miss COrsOn said at the Baltimore
cooking school that a Baltimore lady
had written copy for cooking hus-
bands so as to make them tender and
good" 1t is as follows: "a good MANY
husbands are utterly spoiled BY misman-
agement. Some women go about it as
II their husbands were bladders, and
blow them up, others keep them con.
stantly in hot water; others let them
freeze by their carelessness and indif.
ference. Some keep them in a stew by
irritating ways and words, others roast
them. Some keep them in pickle all
their lives. 1t cannot be supposed that
any husband will be tender and good
managed in this way, but they are real
ly delicious when properly treated. In
selecting your husband YOU should no.
be guided by the silvery appearance. as
IN buying mackeral, nor by the gold
tint, as If you wanted salmon. Be sure
you select him yourself, as tastes differ.
DO not go to market for him, as the
best are always brought to your door.
1t IS far better to have none unless YOU
will patiently learn to cook him. A
preserving kettle of the finest porcelain
is the best, but if you have nothing but
an earthenware pitkin, it will do, with
care. See that the linen in which YOU
wrap him is nicely washed and mended.
with the required number of buttons
and strings sewed on. Tie him in the
Kettle by strong silk cord called COM
fort, as the one called duty is apt to be
weak. They are apt to fly out of the
Kettle and be burned and crusty on the
edges, since, like crabs and Holsters, YOU
have to cook them while alive. Make
a clear, steady fire of love, neatness and
cheerfulness. Set him as near this as
seems to agree with him. If he sput-
ters and fiZzes, do not be anxious some
husbands do this until they are quite
done. Add little sugar in the form
of what cOnfectiOners call kisses, but
no vinegar or pepper on any account.
A little spice improves them, but it
must be used with judgement. Do not
stick any sharp and painful instrument
into him to see if he is becoming tender.
Stir him gently; watch, the while, least
he lie too fiat and close to the kettle,
and becomes useless. You can not fail
to know when he is done. If treated
you will find him very digestible, agree
ing with you and the children, and he
will keep as long as you want, unless
you become careless and put him into
a cold place."

According to statistics printed in the
Suabian Merklr, Germany appears to
be the most intelligent, or at any rate,
the least illiterate country of Europe.
For example, of persons above fifteen
years of age in Germany "a per cent.
can read, while in Great Britain the
percentage is 81, in Austria and France
each 49, in Italy "A, in Spain 60 and in
Russia SO. Adding writing and simple
arithmetic to the requirements re-
duces the percentage in Germany to
80, Great Britain 81, France II, Aus
tria 75, Italy 63, Spain 49 and Russia
80. Germany and Austria decidedly
lead in the knowledge of the modern
languages, their percentages of persons
knowing more than one being SO and
81 respectively, to % in Great Britain,
% in France, 20 in Italy, % in Russia
and 13 in Spain. The order is
changed when the classics are consid-
cred, Germany having 80 per cent. OF
classical scholars, Great Britain 81,
France 20, Italy 16, Austria 13, Spain
7 and Russia 2. These figures furnish
an interesting indication of the direc,
ton of intellectual development in
these countries, and strikingly show
how far the Anglo-Saxons and Teutons

AN ADVANCE IN FISH CULTURE
Science says; Heretofore, in planting
salmon, it has been customary to place
the fish in the streams and allow them
to care for themselves, but the new
idea of placing them in protected pre-
serves, where they can be cared for by
the people living near at hand, and
their growth to a certain size assured,
will, no doubt, revolutiOnize salmon
culture.
A similar experiment has lately been
made at the station of the U. S. Fish
Commission at Wytheville, Va, where
10000 California trout have been con-
fined until they have been vigorous
fish of half a foot in length. They will
be used, instead of helpless fry just
freed from the yOlk sac, in stocking the
Atlantic Slope with this fine species.
The conclusion of the ClendOn Bros
experiment will be eagerly looked for
not only by anglers and economists
but by biologists generally, to whom
the extension of the actual habitat of {
large river fish, some three degrees t.
the southwark, will be a matter of con
siderable interest.

THEY GET TO BE VERY OLD FISH
1t is not generally known that there is
hardly any limit to the age of fish.
Professor Baird, of the United States
Fish Commission, is authority for the
statement that there is authentic evil
dence to show that carp have attained
an age of two hundred years. Profess
sor Baird also says that there is a ira
dition that within fifty years pike
was living in Russia whose age dated
back to the fifteenth century. There
is nothing" he says, to prevent fish
from living almost indefinitely, as it has
no period of maturity, but grows with
each year of life" There are gold fish
in this city that have belonged to one
family for over fifty years. They do
not appear to be much larger than
when they were originally placed in
the aquarium, and are every bit as live
ly as they were when young. There
are so many fish stories in circulation
that the ordinary reader has almost
made up his mind that fish and truth do
not well go together. Probably some
persons will doubt Professor Baird
about the age fish can attain. II
they do, they are simply doubling the
best known authority on fish. The
Russian Minister says that in the royal
aquariumns in St. Petersburg there are
fish to-day that have been known by
the records to have been in them lac
years. Some of them are, he says, over
five times as large as they were when
first captured, while others have not
grown an inch in length. An attacht
of the Chinese Legation cOrrObOrate'
this statement. He says there are sac
red fish kept in some of the palaces il
China that are even old than any o
those in Russia.-PhiladetphiG NOrtI
