THE FISHERY iMBROGLIO.
Canadian Officials Thinking the Matter
0yer-Three Seizures.

Sver-Three Seizures.
OTTAWA, Ont, July 6-Regarding the
seizure OF the American fishing schooner
City Point, OF Portland, at Shelburne for
violation of the customs regulations the
minister of marine and fisheries states that
he has wired for full particulars, which he
expects to have by telegraph on Monday
morning. From the meager information at
hand it is impossible to give any decision.
The complaint appears to be only petty
infTaetion of the customs laws ami not fish
cry regulations, the captain having before
starting for shore to report his vessel, be-
gun taking water and making repairs for
which purpose he ran into the harbor.
From the manner in which Minister Foster
speaks it may be inferred that he will not
press the case, but will order the release of
the vessel a decision will probably he ar
rived at promptly,
1t is now clearly evident that there is
hitch somewhere and the imperial govern
ment is asking for explanations as to what
has been done and what course the Domin.
ion government intends following in the
future The minister of marine and fisher
les is a novice at'this work, having been
but a ort time in the cabinet, and the Off
cial visit he now proposes making to the
fishing provinces is for the purpose of quail
flying himself as TO the best measures that
may te adopted to protect the fishermen of
the maratime provinces without exceeding
the powers conferred upon him by the Do
mInlon government

That Tired Feeling

At no other season is the system so sus-
ceptible to the beneficial effects OF re-
liable tonic and inyigorant. The impure
state Of the blood, the deranged digestion,
and the weak condition Of the body, caused
by its long battle with the cold, wintry
blasts, all call for the reyiying, regulating
and restoring influences SO happily and
effectively combined in Hoods Sarsaparilla.

An Editors Escape.


IT turns out that editor Mumford. OF
the Talbotton Era, was one of the larg-
est sufferers by the freeze that recently
packed the state in ice and strung icicles
from Valdosta to Dalton. During one
of the DAYS when the freeze was at its
freczlest, Editor Munford, who weighs
200 If he weighs a pound. walked over
to his carp ponds. just outside of Tai
bottom, to see if he could succor his
carp. he found a small pond frozen
over hard and fast, and as it bore his
200 pounds without wincing he started
s0rrowfully across. On reaching an
other and larger pond he ventured on
its frozen surface without danger. In
the center of the pond he noticed water
bnbbling up. and, supposing that it was
caused by his pet carp blowing in air
after the manner of whales, he fastened
to the hole In an instant the 200
pounds of Editor Mmnfcrd I'd were in the
hole; but as he went down he threw
out his arms and was thus prevented
from sinking entirely out of sight. The
water, as may be imagined on an oc-
casion of this kind, was cold enough
for drinking purposes on n Fourth of
July, and the ice-bolmd editor was
made to feel that it was growing colder
every moment lie tried to raise HIM
self out by his elbows, but warning
creak of the ice deferred him. As there
was no other person within earshot, and
he found it impossible to cxtricatc him
self. he felt as though the supreme mo-
ment was close at hand Like q fash

spectacle, every event of his life flashed
across his mind. Every mean action
ever committed by him came out vivid
ly, and his brain fairly sung with the
good deeds he might have done.
In second after he fell the hundreds
of carp in the pond, hungry and desper-
ate, rushed to the spot and nibbled ut
his legs. 1t was when he felt the fish
tugging at his rotund body that he be.

and earnestly he prayed He forgave
John German for writing a book; he

he forgave those who recently voted the
anti-prohibition ticket in his own town,
and, in fact, he forgave everybody. In
the meantime his legs were freezing.
After praying earnestly for a long time,

with his eye in the hope Of seeing some
body to pull him out, he summoned all
his strength and resolved to make one
more effort, if the ice did break. He
was successful. The ice remained in-
tact, and after thirty minutes Of freez-
ing agony he was out of the hole. When
he reached the bank and started home
the water in his clothes frOzc hard. and
his locomotion on pair of legs whose
knee hinges wouldn't bend was neces-
sarily slow and not at all graceful. But
he reached home at last, and is still
thawing. His numerous friends through
the state will rejoice with us that SO far
no bad results from his cold bath in a
carp pond have shown themselves

Table Manners.

ssYes, he is fine fellow, but it is
surprising. considering the family he be-
longs to, that he hasn't better table
manners
This frank comment concerning a
young friend for whom we had been ex-
pressing our admiration, set ns to won
dering why it is that III SO many fami-
lies of genuine refinement, the table
manners of the children receive SO small
a share of attention. Many parents
seem to forget that the habits formed at
the home table are likely to follow one
through life. The child that at home is
allowed to s.sup'' his soup audibly, to
''bolt'' his meat and vegetables like
hungry brute, to take a quarter of
q slice of bread ut q m0uthful, sitting
meanwhile, perhaps. either, l0lling
against the chair-back or with his ell
bow on the table, will inevitably morti-
fy himself and his friends when he
comes to ssdinc out
Sometimes it happens that at break
fast the pressure of business and house
hold cares leads to undue haste on the
parents part, thus giving additional
license to the children. The mothers
attention Is confined to the pouring Of
coffee. and the father is too impatient to
be mt his Office to take time to serve the
steak and potatoes with the gracious
mien that distinguishes him when
guests are present, and children are
quick to note the difference. Mrs.
Nathaniel Hawthorne, ia letter to her
mother, recalls this "reminiscences Of her
childhood: AT table what an impress
sion Of elegance and spirituality YOU

pre-occupied with your own plate and
food. SO that / used to think mothers
