The Eruit Union.

The following letter, from the President
of the California Fruit Union, is selfex-
planatory, and will appear in the Rural
Press oi to-day:
Eds. Press In your issue of April oath
is quite lengthy epistle from L. ID.
Stephens, President of the Sacramento
Fruit-shippers Union, containing state
ments from which one who does nc. know
the facts would be very Likely. % infer
their direct opposite. For instance. the
statement was never made anywhere, at
any time, by any member of the California
Fruit Union, that said Union had or would
have supreme control of all or any part of
the fruits of Natoma Company, but that
whatever amount of the fruits of the Ma
toma Company were consigned to Eastern
markets would be through the California
Fruit Union and to its agents.
The facts are that the California Fruit
Union does not pretend 10 have control of
one pound of the fruits of its members
They are free to dispose of their fruits, by
sale or otherwise, as best suits their several
wishes and necessities.
As for the contract with Porter Bros. Co,
| would refer any and all who desire to ex-
anime or ciiticise it, to the copy of the
Pacific Rural Press of March 9th page 30S).
and ask them not to take for granted any,
thing stated by anyone that differs from
their own version of the English language,
except by getting legal definitions from un-
prejudiced lawyers. They should also re-
member that the members of the California
Fruit Union have all the freedom claimed
for the Sacramento Fruit-shippers' Asso-
citation by r. d. Stephens in the article re-
ported, except it is a Union for producers,
and therefore does not admit competitors
except under light restrictions.
Preferring that the fruit-shipping specu-
lators'should (as they have) form an organ
ization of their own, believe this is all
the notice necessary to take of this matter,
and will say no more at present l leave
it with the good judgment of the fruit
growers to determine whom their friends
are. A. T. HATCH,
President California Fruit Union.

Fish as Food.

We quote from the Chemistry OF Food
by Prot. w. 0. Atwater, Middletown. Conn:
Fish, as found in the markets. generally
contain more refuse bone, skin. etc, than
meats. With the larger proportion of both
refuse and water. the proportions of nutri-
ents, though variable, are usually much
less than meats. Thus sample of founder
contained sixty-seven per cent of refuse,
twenty-elght OF water, and only five per
cent. of nUtritive substance, while the
salmon averaged twenty-three, the salt cod
twenty-five, and the salt mackerel thirty
six per cent. of nutrients. The nutrients
in meats ranged from thirty per cent. in
beef 10 forty-six in mutton, and eighty
seven and half in very fat pork (bacon)
The canned fish compare very favorably
with the meats. 1t is worth noting that
the nutrients in fresh Goldfish. in oysters
and in milk, all were nearly the same in
amount-about twelve and q half per cent,
though differing in kind and proportions
! wish TO call attention to two more
things concerning the composition of fish
First. the chief difference between the flesh
OF fish and ordinary meats is. that The fish
generally contains less fat and more water.
The fat contained in the meats is, in the
flesh, retained to considerable extent by
water. On this account the flesh of fish
has generally lower nutritive value, pound
Tor pound, than ordinary meats Fish. as
we buy them, have the further disadvant-
age in comparison with meats, that they
contain larger percentages of refuse bone,
SKIN, entralls, etc, than meats. Second on
the other hand, in the flesh of most fish.
the nutTltive material is nearly all protein.
That IS to say, fish supply the ingredient of
food which is the most important the most
expensive of all.

WICKED SLAUGHTER OF BIRDs.-A pri-
vate letter from Wellesley says " Professor
Niles, of the Institute of Technology, ad-
dressed the students last Saturday concern
ing. the terrible slaughter of our song birds
and other birds to satisfy the demands of
fashion. The statistics are horrible. Why.
one concern in Boston ordered 10000 bird
skins, and another 10000. to meet the de-
mands: and these are but two instances
out of hundreds. Some of our most beau
tiful species are almost wholly extinct; and
If the slaughter should be checked at once.
it would take three generations of mans
life to people our groves and woods again
as in 1881. President Freeman made an
appeal after the talk was over. and such a
sentiment was created that it would not be
surprising if .every Wellesley girl vetoed
feathers henceforth. Indeed, / think those
will be ostracized who do not. Miss Free
man says that great difference has b. EN-
noticed in the 400 acres belonging to the
college grounds, and that some species of
birds that were plenty in our woods five
years ago have wholly disappeared"

A RICH MINE IN SIsKIYoU CoUNTY.-De
Forrest last week made milling test of
eight pounds of rock from the Carson &
Snyder mine on Squaw creek. The sam
pie was taken from the end of the lower
tunnel, at depth of $50 feet. The yield
was at the rate of S2,0S0 10 ton in gold.
Another sample of five ounces, milling
test, yielded at the rate of SIT ,s75 per ton.
The above is milling test for free gold.
The sulphurets from the ore averaged 20
per cent. and ASSAYS S2,0S5 60 in gold and
s37 so in silver There is a clay seam in
the vein at this depth, about four inches in
width, which samples from $4,000 to
$4,000 ton in free gold. How extensive
this rich body of ore is the boys have not
yet determined, but suffice it to say they
see enough in sight to yield a handsome
sum. he rest of the ore in sight, exposed
by $50 foot tunnel, samples by fire ASSAY

with very little sorting $25 ton. If this is
not magnificent showing for valuable
mine, we would like to know what is.

a FIVE THOUSAND DOLLAR DoG.-A sleek
coated st. Bernard mas if stood upon his
hind legs against the desk of the Thirtieth
street station and barked How dye do?"
to Captain Williams on Monday afternoon.
The dog, as he stood, was exactly as tall as
policeman Herman, who is nearly six feet
high. Policeman Herman said he brought
the dog from Thirty-third street and Sew
enth avenue because he couldn't find its
owner. Half an hour later Prof Echtler,
German sculptor, rushed into the station
and in great excitement hugced the dog
around the neck and talked 10 him in Ger
man. The dog is miner the professor
cried. u He is worth $4,000 He's got q
gold medal from the Berlin Humane So
ciety for saving twenty-five lives" The dog
and the professor went around to the fiat
together. The dog put up its paw and rang
the janitors bell. When the janitor pulled
the door-catch the dog pushed the door
open with his nose and bounded up stairs
and stood at the door. The professor
proudly showed the big gold medal and
the certificates of the Humane Society. 1t
attested that the dog rescued twenty-five
people who were upset some years ago
from little pieasure-steamor on the Rhine,

HOMEMADE HoMINY.-Make strong w.
from wood ashes enough to cover thoo
amount of corn wanted. Put on the stow.
and boil until the hulls slip off readily
then pour the whole into enough cold wa
ter to keep from burning the hands, and
rub until free of hulls. Boil and wash
number of times until clean and free from
lye. Towards the last drain it and fill up
with boiling water, and boil until the ker-
nels become so tender that they swell and
break open. Suit yourself about that. how
ever. Lovely hominy has been made from
concentrated lye but we should never r,c-
ommend it, for unless great care is taken it
will injure the stomach. Homemade hon.
my is healthier. We knew a man who had
the dyspepsia so bad that medicine was
powerless to help him.. After living on a
hominy diet for a year he was well man.

mission into labor society does 50 with
the object that he may entiee its
members into his saloon after the
meetings close. No question of interest to
labor has ever been satisfactorily settled
over a bar in a rumhole. No labor society
ever admitted rum-seller that did not die
a drunkard's death No workman ever
drank glass of rum who did not rob his
family of the price of it, and il doing so
committed double crime-murder and
theft. He murders the intellect with which
the Maker hath endowed him. He steals
from his family the means of sustenance
he has earned for them. Turn to the an
mails of ever dead labor society, and You
will see whole pages blurred and destroyed
by the accursed footprints of rum. Scan
the records of meeting al which dis
turbance took place, and you will hear
echoing through the hall the maudlin,
fiendish grnnt of the drunken brute who
disturbed the harmony of the meeting"

main on the island all winter, and did not
try to get them off. The crew of twelve
men, not getting assistance, built a hut of
the wreckage, seven miles from Fox Har-
Dor, where there are only three fishermens
families. They got what provisions they
could from the wreck and settled down.
During the winter they suffered terribly
from cold, and toward spring their provis-
ions ran short, and one of their number
decided 10 try and get home. He took an
open boat and crossed the Gulf of ST. Law
renee, a distance of $50 miles, to Gaspe
Point. He was three DAYS in the boat and
suffered severely. The men had nothing
when he left in the middle of April except
flour, and no prospect of getting anything.
The winter was very hard one, and all
had suffered terribly. 1t is supposed the
suffering men will be sent for immediately.

Over in the corner tonight were two

the extreme end of long ropes, the pro-

other appliances to his subject. When
he was in readiness the horstlers cast of

strap wound about his left hand, deity
caught the end of the horses tail as Il

stopped to think what he would do next.
Concluding to rear next, he found his
