Fish by the Square Mile.

Some faint idea of the vast and mex
haustible number of fish on our shores
may, perhaps, be obtained by a con-
sideration Of the fact hat yesterday no
fewer than 5000 barrels of porgies we're
caught off Newport. If the sea,
through the Vineyard and Long
Island Sound is anywhere near as
rich in porgies, mossbunkers, and
other varieties of the most abundant
kinds of fish, what an unimaginably
teeming world of life there must be-
meath the waves! And it is, even more
than the striving, pushing world of
human life, a scene of rapacity and
destruction-the stronger preying upon
the weaker and "the survival of the
fttest." Enormous as this single days
catch of porgies seems, it is surpassed
by some Of the big hauls of bony-fsh
or mossbunkers the ~"whiteesh" of the
evil-smelling fish oil mills on the shore.
These creatures actually swarm in mil
lions and are caught and hauled in by
the cargo. Schools of ~voracious blue
fish pursue and drive them Tipping
and flashing to the surface, where they
are promptly pounced upon by the
sailing fish hawks and sea-gulls that
wait for them out of water. In the sea
and on the land the world seems to be
a scene of shark and tiger, in one OF
another form of destructive rap.city.-

Light Two Miles Under Water.

In the Lake of Geneva Messrs. Fol
and Sarasin found sufficient light to
affect very sensitive Photographic plates
at about five hundred and fifty feet,
the light at that depth being about
equal at midday to that at the surface
on a clear moonless night. In the
Mediterranean during bright sunlight
the last trace of light was lost at a
depth of 1900 feet. But an examine
ton of the eyes of certain c~rustaceans
lately dredged from the abyssmal re-
gions of the Atlantic convlnces Prof.
S. 1. Smith that despite the objections
of physicists, some light probably
reaches even beyond $4,000 feet. He
thinks that, on account of the purity OF
the water in mid-ocean, light might
reach this depth as readily as 5000 feet
or even 1900 feet near the shore.

Tea and Coffee Dyspepticy.

It has occurred to the writer to make
many observations as to the circum-
stances under which tea and coffee are
found to agree OF disagree with differ
ent persons; in the first place, as Sir
w. Roberts has pointed out, tea, if
taken at the same time as f%arinaceous
food, is much more likely to retard its
digestion and dyspepsia than if
taken a little time after eating; and the
custom adopted by mary persons at
breakfast, for instance, of eating first
and drinking their tea or coffee after
ward is a sensible one; so, also, it is
better to take ones five o'clock tea
without the customary bread and but
ter or cake than with it.
. Indeed, while there is little that can
be said against q cup of hot tea as o
stimulant and restorative, when taken
about midway between lunch and din
ner, and without solid food, it may, on
the other hand, be found a fruitful
cause Of dyspepsia when accompanied
at that time with solid food. It is also
a curious fact that many persons with
whom tea, under ordinary circumstan-
ces, will agree exceedingly we'll, will
become the subjects of q tea dyspepsia,
if they drink this tea at a time when
they may be suffering from mental
worry or emotional disturbance.
Moreover, it is a well-recognized fact
that the persons who are prone to
v excitement of the circulation
and palpitations of the heart have these
symptoms greatly aggravated if they
persist in the use of tea or coffee as a
beverage. The excessive consumption
of tea among the poorer classes is the
cause of much of the ~so-called "heart-
complaints" among them; the food of
these poor women consists largely of
starchy substances dread and butter
chiefly, together with tea, j. e., a food
accessory which is one of the greatest
of all retarders of the digestion of
starchy food.
The effect of coffee as a retarder of
stomach digestion would probably be
more felt than it is were it not so con-
stantly the practice to take it only in
small quantity after a very large meal.
It is then mixed with an immense bulk
of food, and it's relative percentage
proportion rendered insignificant; and
to the strong and vigorous the slightly
retarding effect OF digestion it would
then have may be, as Sir w. Roberts
suggests, not altogether a disadvan-
tage; but after q spare meal, and in
persons Of feeble digestive power, the
cup Of black coffee would probably ex-
ercise o retarding effect on digestion
which might prove harmful.-Dr. j.

Plentx Of Small Fruit.

Have o small fruit patch, have it con-
venient to the house. Seth long rows
so that nearly if not quite all the work
of cultivating and keeping the soil
mellow and the weeds down can be
done with the horse and cultivator.
Give good rich soil so that the best re-
suits can be secured. Give plenty of
room to grow, and yet leave plenty of
room to 20 between the rows at any
time to gather the fruit. Select stand
ard varieties, those that you know
either by your own experience, or by
that of others will do we'll in your sec
ton.
Plow the soil thoroughly. and put in
as good a condition as possible. before
planting. Be careful to keep the roots
Of the plants moist; this is important.
It will nearly always pay to have a
pail of water convenient, and dip the
roots of the plants into it before setting
in the ground. Take pains to see that
the soil is filed in carefully about the
roots after filling up. I find it a good
plan to press the soil firmly down upon
the roots.

having early and late, or still better,
early, medium and late varieties Of all
kinds, commencing with strawber.
ries, gooseberries, currants, raspberries,
blackberries, and grapes. If you will
plant one row, each one hundred feet
long of two or three varieties of each
of them, and give proper attention and
cultivation, this will furnish you with
an abundant supply for your family,
and will keep up a supply from the
earliest until late in the fall. During
the first year, 1 find it a good plan to
apply a mulch around the stems, not
later than the last of May.
Sufficient cultivation should be given
to receive a good growth. Keep the
weeds down and the soil mellow. Get
u few of the newer sorts in order to test
their value. Give the same soil and
cultivation that you give the others, so
that a fair comparison can be made. I
consider no part of the farm more
profitable than the small fruit patch,
and a good supply can be secured with
no more trouble than a crop of corn or
potatoes. They come into bearing in a
short time after setting out, and if prop
erly pruned in the winter, and pinched

Anxious TO reap the golden frrits de-

How Racing Destroyed the Collins Line.
Anxious to reap the golden fruits de-
rived from the carrying of the mails,
and to also show to the world that the
United States was as we'll able to build
and organize a feet of swift steamers
as Great Britain, Mr.. E. K. Collins
launched his company. the end of which
was such a tragic one. He was to re-
ceive a subsidy of $4,000 per voyage
to home-built steamers carrying the
mails of the United States to and from
Europe, and he began nobly by con-
structing four magnificent steamers
the Arctic, the Baltic, the Atlantic,
and the Pacific. These vessels were
built of live oak, planked with pitch
pine, the hull being extremely solid,
and divided into compartments SO that,
in the opinion of their builders, they
were all but proof against being sunk
by a collision or by touching the
ground. These steamers began to
carry the mails and passengers in
1850, and very soon Congress raised
Mr.. Collins subsidy to $$33, 900 per voy-
age, and fixing the minimum at $685.
900 per annum. The Collins steamers,
superbly furnished, performed such
runs across the Atlantic as had never
before been made; and on one of them
the Arctic, after doing the voyage from
west to east in q little over nine days,
was proudly christened by our hur-
raining countrymen "the clipper of the
seas" Alas! the sad end came only
too soon. The captains took to racing,
and there vas no personal management
to stop them. On the 21st of Septem-
Der, 1854, "the clipper Of the seas" left
Liverpool for New York with 233 pass
engers and a crew of 135, nearly all of
them Americans. When within sixty
miles of Cape Race the Arctic collided
with the French steamer Vesta; but
deeming his ship not much injured, the
American captain made for the Cape,
and before he had got far the water
rushed in, and almost Immediately the
splendid steamer was engulfed in the
waves. Only fourteen passengers were
saved, and among those who persisted
were the wife, son, and daughter of
poor Mr.. Collins. Sixteen months later
came the still more appalling disaster
to the Pacific. She quilted Liverpool
on the 23d of January, 1856, with forty
five passengers, q crew of al persons,
the mails and a cargo insured for over
So 0O0, 900. The Pacific was timed to
reach New York the I'd of February,
but she never reached that port, nor
any port on earth. The loss sealed the
doom of the Collins Line.-Boston
Herald.
