AMONG THE POLITICIANS.

Mr. O'Brlen, whom the Democrats have
renomlnated for Mayor Of Boston, has been
inquired Of by the Trade and Labor lions
OF that city, whether he favors an am nj
ment to the charter making eight h J1rs

Says Carter Harrison, Mayor OF Chicago;
"Am | downcast over Morrison's defeat
Not !. That was good piece of work.
1t will clear the deck In Illinois for Demo
Gratis to carry the State. Morrison, as the
nominal leader of the party In the State,
was q constant source OF weakness to the

The friends of Congressman Price OF Wis

church Distinctions Questioned.

reporter Of Tnr Carrie called on DR..
Rice, pastor Of the Fourth Street NJ. Il.
Church, this morning and found a very
pleasant gentleman, about 35 years of age,
who gave the following account OF what q
morning paper prin ted as a sensation; 1t
is customary to read the rules Of the church
to the congreg alton once year. Yesterday
DIR. Rice had fifty candidates for admis-
sion and he thought there could be no bet
ter time to read the rules, which he did,
and explained. There is one rule which
prohibits dancing, attending dances, the
aires and similar places, which the dis
cipline does not call sinful but iBprudcnt
conduct.
While DR.. Rice was making this dlstnc-
tion between sinful and imprudent conduct
In q Christian, Mr. Mahony asked, "Dld
Christ ever go to dancesY' to which DR..
Rice replied. ~ would not class any OF my
church and all of other churches who at
tend dances as children OF the devil, but
would leave that for others to do who seem
to have less Christian charity than | have.n
The incident passed almost unnoticed, and
no one would ever have given It q second
thought but for the article published this
morning. Mr.. Mahony said that the whole
story was a fabrication without particle OF
truth. DR.. Rice is his intimate friend, and
he would not knowingly wound his feelings

The Fish in Cache Slough.

Citizens of Capay and neighborhood arr
finding fault with Moore's dam, in Cache
creek, complaining that the fish cannot
ascend the stream in consequence, and have
sent a communication to the Yolo county
Supervisors on the subject The Woodland
Democrat says that the dam is so constructed
that the fish, in attempting to run it, fall
back ON the apron, and thence are washed
back into the stream below the dam. The
petition presented to the Board of Super
yisors states that some fish found below
the dam are entirely unknown above. The
cause of complaint is just one and can
be easily remedied by the construction OF
fish ladders, or by a modification in the
form of the lower part of the dam. The
Board of Supervisors did not feel justified
in acting in the matter, and referred the
petition to the Fish Commissioners. The
complaint will doubtless be considered by
the Commission and instructions be given
to the Board OF Supervisors as to the course
best to pursue in order to preserve a supply
of fish in all parts of the creek.

LAKE ANNIE.
Description of Beautiful Mountain Lake
and Trout Hatchery.

anu q trout HaIchery.
In letter from H. Woodson, of Alturas,
to Hon. A. b Dibble, Secretary of the Fish
Commission, the following description of
Lake Annie, in Modoc county, appears
'sThis gem of the mountains is formed by
an old ocean bar, which has been thrown
across the mouth of canyon a little to the
southeast of Mount Bidwell, making dam
200 or 800 feet high. The waters running
thus caught and held, their only means of
escape being by percolation through a
gravel bar nearly a quarter of mile in
thickness. The w6terS thus held fOim
beautiful lake of forty-fve acres, with an
average depth of fifteen feet, teeming with
insect life. The trout planted therein are
the California brook trout, or rainbow
trout The largest caught so far weighed
eight pounds, which is large enough. The
habits of the California brook trout, as |
have studied them, differ from those of the
Eastern trout, if their habits are correctly
reported, and | think, when generally I'M
derstood, will make them much more
popular and desirable. My hatchery
is situated on one of the two
splendid streams that are formed by the
percolated through the gravel bar. A dam
raises the water nearly two feet above the
floor. A two-inch gas-pipe conducts it
into distributing box. From the box
the water is conducted into the hatching-
troughs, which are made of pine boards,
surfaced, ten feet in length, eleven inches
in width and five inches in depth, painted
inside with coal-tar. Matching trays are
made of half-inch square hard wood, with
screen wire tackled on one side, and painted
also with coal-tar. The coal-tar prevents
the eggs from adhering to the wire, and
also prevents to q great extent the forma-
ton of byssus. The trays have shingle
halls driven into the under side to hold
them up so the water can circulate over and
under the eggs and in that way l can have
several trays, one on top Of the other. In
April the fish ascend the little streams that
feed the lake, for the purpose.of spawning.
When find good number are ripe | take
a net and, with an assistant, net the streams
and examine the fish, rejecting the
unripe and placing the ripe in a
pool where they can be caught in
very short time. When ready, place
them in a wagon and drive rapidly to the
hatchery, about three quarters of a mile
distant. On arrival at the hatchery they
are not quite all dead, and those dead have
not been SO to exceed ten minutes. They
are then spawned rapidly, fertiliZed, and
placed either in trays or Matching baskets
in the troughs | have better success IN
this way than spawning alive, as it is done
so quickly, and none have been dead long
enough to injure the spawn. The tempera-
ture of the water is $50. The young trout
begin to come out in twenty-six days. The
umbilical sack is absorbed in from two to
three weeks"

AIR-DREssING.-Ha ir-dressing is quite
an agitating subject at present, especially
to ladies who are no longer young, and to
whom the present arrangement of piling
the hair all upon the top of the head is not
becoming. In fact, this manner of dress
ing the hair is only becoming to very few
young faces, and the head must be shaped
IN manner proper to such an arrange
ment. If women would have the good
sense to arrange the hair in the style that
sets off their features to most advantage,
without regard to fashion, very many of
them would not look to be the frights that
they are now. An invariable style is not
suited to invariable dissimilarity. A great
many ladies think it necessary to adopt the
fashionable couture of the day for the sole
reason that it is the fashion If, however,
ladies persist in coming the hair up at the
back of the head, and drawing it all up to
the top and tying it there, il is easy to
modify this arrangement for middle-aged
persons by adding to it little gathered
lace, falling in lapels at the sides or at the
back. Long pins, with heads ornamented
with jewels and pearls, are still some of the
principal adornments of the couture There
are others of light-colored tortoise-shell,
forming dainty Spanish combs, which are
exceedingly pretty but rather expensive.
They are put on obli9uely, with perhaps a
bow of velvet at the side, for dinner or
evening coiffures.-[Philadelphia Record.
