The total number of entries for the year
reached 227, 4T4, against 245, 524 in 1885,
2s6.6l3 in 1884 and 226, 0Ss in

amount to s7,412, 767, against S.
6I9, $685. for 1856. S12,779, 1908 for
1884, and $11, 7O5, 765. So for 1883. The
total expenses OF the department for the

$685., ga. The number of acres of la,sd
disposed OF, compared with the previous

Catching salmon in Oregon

Salmon are in the rivers and bays
from Oregon to Alaska. often in mum.
bers that appear to be inexhaustible
A Montana correspondent says:
Where the current is swift the fish, in
their ascent of the river, must swim
near it's surface. Here, close to the
bank, huge wheel is constructed. 1t
has, perhaps, a dozen or twenty arms
which reach down into the river and
form the motive power. There are at
the ends succession OF scoops made
OF iron network The current OF the
river turns them, and as they revolve
through the water they capture the
fish and scoop them up. As
they reach the top a means OF es.
cape is provided for the fish, but it is
pathway which directs him into a
large tank in which the salmon are
gathered A firm who have wheel at
the Dalles said they did not care to
run it more than nine hours day,
for they could not take care of the
fish they caught beyond this. It's
manager said he had thus far shipped
200 tons of salmon. One day he be-
gan to fish at 8 o'clock in the morn
ing, and at 12:40 he had caught eight
cen tons, and had them all aboard
the cars in ice shipped to the east.
This was an extraordinary day, of
course. The swift current supplies
ample water-power to turn the huge
wheel.

Missed His Discharge.

B.F., of Sigourney, Ia, writes; ''The
"reminiscences of the Surgeon OF the
Tenth recalls to my memory similar
cases. As hospital steward of our reg,
iment had opportunity to notice the
different tricks and devices employed
for getting out of the army One oil
the most laughable and best played
was that OF private of one of the COM
panies, who had been suffering from
rheumatism for some time. He per-
sistently used cane while walking
one of his legs appeared to be drawn
up and lame. Although closely watch
ed, he had been so consistent in his
actions that the regimental surgeon
aud camp officers thought it best to
give him a discharge. After having
been examined by the brigade surgeon
the soldiers papers were sent up to
headquarters, but on account of some
red-tape omission came back to us for
correction. The camping-ground, on
the right bank of the Mississippi, was
very much infested by rats, and the
boys enjoyed themselves by pouring
water into the rats holes. causing
them to come out, whereupon they
would be pursued and much fun result
ed from the chase. One morning while
eating breakfast our crippled soldier
was standing near the kitchen tent, a
dseply-interested spectator of thesport
the boys we're having in drowning out
and watching the sousing of the rats.
All at once that lame man surprised
us by running as fast and well as a
schoolboy would, calling out: Rats,
boys, there is a ratp aud throwing his
cane at the rat at the same time.
"Well, he gave it up. The discharge
papers not having been returned to
headquarters yet. were corrected in
sucha way as to return a soldier to
his company. of which be wsys after

Modest (?)W est Virginia Constit-
uents.

One ot the West Virginia senator's is
quoted as telling an amusing story oil
constituent. Not long ago, he says,
he received letter from man well
known in his district, stating that for
years past his vote has been regularly
cast in the senator's interest and
hitherto he had requested no favor in
return. Now, however, he would like
to have forwarded to him at the earli-
est moment few gardening nipple,
with a letter. This seemed modest
enough and the senator started down
town after breakfast to fill his constit-
uent's request. Taking the list il
hand he entered large hardware
store on the avenue and requested
the clerk to fill the order, supposing
that $40 would cover all ex.
penses. The clerk beamed in such
pleasant manner when requesting
the proper directions for shipment
that it suddenly occurred to my friend
that he would ask the exact amount
of the bill. When told that it was
$125 the senator shook his head slow
ly, held out his hand for the list OF
goods and left the store. The same
senator. it is related, received last
winter from a person entirely unknown
to him, but claiming to be constitu-
ent, request for a Christmas box
which should contain a complete suit
of clothes for the writer, measure
ments enclosed; a large box ofthe best
candies, something suitable to make
glad the heart of his matrimonial
partner, and then followed minute
description of sundry useful articles
and toys desired for his six children.
At the end of the page in strong
parenthesis, apparently added as a
sort OF an appropriate nightcap, the
ingenious creature desired that for his
own private use the box should also
contain without fail a gallon OF the
best whiskey.

what her family name is. II she has

questions. In regard to the first, it is
nobody's business to know whether
the woman is or is not a widow, un
less she chooses to make that fact
prominent, and then she has way,
enough to emphasize it. And, in the
second place lin case the woman does
not marry her deceased husbands
brother by permission of Congressl,
it does not at all matter what be

1t is the woman's identity that is to
be preserved. And she cannot be re
