The Fisheries Question.

NOVA sCoTIANS WANT RECIPROCITY TREATY
FAILING THAT, AMERICAN FISHERMEN
MUST KEEP OUT OF THEIR WATERS.
HALIFAX, n. s., June A meeting of the
Halifax chamber of commerce was held yester-
day afternoon, when the protection of the Ash
cries and a reciprocity treaty were discussed.
The president stated that under the old treaty
peace. prosperity and quietness prevailed be-
tween the fishermen OF the country and those
of the United States, and it was very desirable
that such a state Of things should exist. 1--WE
want" continued the president, "a treaty, for
it is plain that we cannot prevent fishermen
from following fish a mile or two, as they are
not likely to stop to ascertain what waters they
are in. Wewant to be friends with the United
States" VIM. Roche, jr, said the minutes of
the last meeting showed the chamber to be
unanimously in favor of a reciprocity treaty.
The speaker moved that, as the Dominion gov
eminent had done nothing to make q rectprOc-
ity treaty. the local government call upon the
admiral TO use the ships OF the British navy to
used to exclude Americans from fishing in our
harbors and bays, and they must not be
afforded bait and supplies 10 take bread from
the mouths ofour people"
minian government was this: Sir John Mac
Donald had intimated that no approaches
would be made to the United States unless the
Washington authorities expressed their will
and that as yet no such willingness had been
expressed.
adopted, as follows: "Whereas It does not APP
pear that the Dominian government has taken
any steps to renew the reciprocity treaty with
the United States, therefore be IL Resolved, That
the local government be requested to bring the
matter to the notice of the Dominican govern
ment and request them to call upon his excel
navy in efficiently protecting the fisheries until
reciprocity treaty or other arrangement can
be effected on fair terms to this province.

NeYada, Singing Sand Hill.

Over in Churchill county, New, there
is a travelling mountain of sand The
winds have gathered together a great
heap and kept it constantly moving like
an immense glacier. 1t crawls steadily
along over valleys and through canons,
never ceasing, the sands making a low,
musical sound as they rub against each
other, much as they do around the
sphinx every morning at sunrise, which
gave rise to the legend that the stony
Statue was greeting the morning sun
with a song. But the moving mountain
of Churchill contains still another pecu.
liarity. While its sides are symmetrically
formed and lay in folds like soliditied
waves there is no cone at the top. In.
stead of it going to a peak there is a
hole there made by counter winds, and
whoever is rash enough to scale the ridge
and pass into the hole pays for his
rashness with his life, for the tickle sands
yield beneath his feet and the more he
struggles to get back the faster he sinks
until he is smothered to death. The In
dians tell of several of their tribe having
been thus swallowed up, and no trace
has ever been found of them since. -

A Japanese Baby.

When Kline, the little japanese baby,
was one hundred days old she was car
ried to the temple, just as some Ameri-
can parents take their little children to
the church to have them christened,
though Kine's parents do not know or
worship the true God. The priest wrote
a prayer on piece of paper and put it
into the prayer bag, which was small
and made of red Grape, embroidered in
white flowers and drawn together by
silk cords. This bag containing the
prayer was the guard from evil, " and
it is devoutly believed by all Japanese to
have the power of keeping children from
evil spirits, from delusion by foxes-for
the people think that foxes can cheat or
enchant people-and from all dangers.
This little red bag was attached to the
girdle behind. After bestowing q gift
in money upon the priest, the parents
and relatives returned home with the lit
tie girl and held great feast in her
honor. Kline was carefully nursed, and
carried on the back of faithful servant,
who fastened her there by long string
or bandage drawn around the waist aud
legs of the child, and crossed over the
neck and shoulders of the maid. Hel
little head and bright eyes would bob on
every side as her nurse walked or ran
and here she would go soundly asleep, Of
play as any baby would. She was neve
carried in any persons arms. japanese
babies seldom are. When Kine's aunt
or cousins wished to coax her away from
her nurse or mother, they would holC
their backs invitingly, and she woult
put out her little arms and go to one o
another as she chose. Clasping tightl.
the neck of the favored one, and hell
there by the feet or legs, she would b
as happy as if cuddled up in the arms
AS the baby grew and began to walk
little sandals made Of straw were put oil
her feet. These were fastened on by put
ting the great toe through a loop. Whel
she was year old her hair, which ha'
been shaven, was allowed to grow lit
tie, and then tied ON the top in a yer
funny fashion. Every year it was wor
differently. Nicholas.

only guess, but heard cry and crash,
then down came that great mass, COM
pletely blocking the passage and sending
an immense black wave over my head,
and clear to the top of the tunnel.
Oh, heaven, what q night of horror
that wasl l have wondered since that
it did not turn my hair to snow. Back
of me the black, gloomy, silent mine
yawning like grave; before me the
barricade and on every side the eddying
currents of water.
In vain l called for Phil, and felt my
way back and forth along the wet rocks.
Nothing answered but the fitting of the
bats and the gurgling of the waves.
SObbing, crying, praying, half crazed
the long night wore away: sometimes
dreaming that saw the. boys face in the
darkness-calling to him only to have
the echoes of my own voice come back
in mockery. l think was truly mad
when the party of rescuers came at last,
guided down the tunnel by my cries.
In the flickering rays OF their lights,
the first thing my eyx-saw was poor
Phil, lying crushed under the timbers.
At the sight, and before they could reach
me, tainted dead away.
1t was up in the pit-house, with
crowd of rough, sympathetic faces about
me, that came back to life once more
and looked eagerly around.
1.-THE girl9" l asked, for she was the
first thought, where is the girl7"
They drew back silently, and then 1
saw her kneeling over shrouded body
in the corner. For her own sake she
must be taken away, while. the men did
all they could with the poor battered
| figure. The lads helped me to her ten
derly.
"Mary," whispered, taking her cold
hand in mine, ''you cannot help Phil
any more, now. Come, let us go home. "
She looked up at me, her face like
death, but without a tear in the clear
eyes.
"It is so hard to leave him here" she
said, piteously; sis it right9"
eyes, my girl, " my own voice tremb
ling. 81 think so, and you must trust
me, Mary"
'EYes.n
I led her out of the sad place, dowr
the hill toward their little cabin. At the
bottom she stopped and looked wistfull!
back, and as she did so, the tears brok'
forth at last.
"Oh, Phil she sobbed, "you wer
all l had in the world"
The heart came up into my throat a
the pitiful loneliness of that cry, and
knew loved her.
"Not all, Mary" whispered, tenderly
"not all, if you will turn to me.
She looked up into my face bending
over her, and, l think, read there m
earnestness.
, "You were good to him." she said
simply, "and l love you'll"

independence Day.

There is wide spread belief amoh,
Americans that the Declaration of lnde'
pendence was signed on the Fourth OF
July" The writings of John Adams
and Thomas Jefferson, as well as the
printed journal of the Continental
Congress, bear out this idea, but a
recent investigation by the chief libra
rian of the Boston public library shows
that we have all along been laboring un,
der mistake. The declaration was read
and agreed to on the 4th of July, but it
was not signed. 1t was ordered to be
authenticated and printed during the af'
ternoon, and on the following day copies
were sent all over the country. On the
10Th it was resolved that the declaration
be engrossed on parchment and signed
bv every member. On the ID of August
nearly all the members signed it. Thorn
ton, of New Hampshire, did not sigI
until November 4 of that year, ano
Mexican did not sign until 1871. o.
course DO one proposes to change ou1
day of celebration. 1t is fact that ou1
independence was announced to tht
world on the 4th OF July, and that i
enough. The signing of the documen
was of less importance.

The Potato as a Luxury.

The potato, originally South Ameri,
cln plant, was introduced to Virginia by
Sir John Harvey in 1929, though it was
unknown in some counties of England
15) years later Potatoes were served,
pc ,haps as an exotic rarity, at a Harvard
in taliation dinner in 1907; but the plant
WIS only brought into culture in New
England at the arrival of the Presby
terian emigrants from Ireland in 17lS.
Five bushels were accounted large crop
of potatoes for Connecticut farmer; for
J; was held that if man ate them every
day, he could not live beyond seven

One day he assisted her in olsen

knot that will never untiep
She blushingly replied:
"I don't know, Daniel, but I am WILL
ing to try"
The knot was tied, and though eighty
years have since sped by, it lies before
me to-day, time colored, it is true, but
nevertheless still united. l have note

AT THE MINES.

AS the adventurous traveller turns from
the narrow strip of prairie land, and fol-
lows the Old Rolton Shaft road, where it
winds in and out among the snow
decked cedars of the mountains, he will
come unexpectedly upon small white
wooden cross, standing, az if on guard,
OYER grave close beside the trail, its
only surroundings being the moaning
pine trees and the endless waste of snow.
Ofthat simple cross, rudely carved by
a knife in some friendly hand, is the
name and date:

A number of railroad men were tell.
inc stories at Denver. Reuben Fielding,
an engineer on the South Park road,
said he had experienced wind storms,
and had gone wild on steep grades, but
the worst time he ever had was two
years ago on the high line to Leadville.
Wed been troubled with the snow
all the way up" he said: 'but we
thought we'd get through. The further
up we got, however. the worse the drifts
became, and it got so after awhile that
we couldn't tell whether we were on the
track or humping it along on the rocks
1t got dark, and the storm increased IN
severity until it seemed as though the
snow was being shoveled down on us.
Finally we got stuck, and before we
could back out slide occurred that
covered the lear cars about fifty feet
deep. Then we couldn't move either
way. The longer we stayed there the
more certain it became that the train
could never get out of there until spring
and after all the cars had been well-nigh
buried we decided to abandon them.
That was a mighty risky piece of busi,
ness. The storm was something terrific.
We couldn't see ten feet ahead, and
every little while we would go in up tc
our ears and sometimes deeper yet. We
had to 90 twelve miles of about the hard
est travelling you ever saw this side o
Jordan, and it wore ten pounds of mi
in doing it. l couldn't move for weel
after that. They didn't see the trail
again for two months, and when tn
snow went off it came near bein!
knocked over with the slides. The rus
was an inch deep on the iron, and mos
of the paint had been worn off; but W
gave it good dose of grease, and go
: her into Leadville in great shape alon
: about the middle of April"

LIFE.

When violets bloom and soft winds play
When Heckless skies hoat DER the earth
When all is youth. and joy, and mirth-
Life's aim is happiness, we say,
When violets bloom and soft winds play.
When summer joys have all gone by
When frowning skies hang DER the world
When Hopes gay banners all are furled-
Life's aim is usefulness, we sigh,
When summer joys have all gone by.
