Shad Matching and Distribution.

The number of young shad placed in the
various rivers of the United States during
1887 has been unprecedentedly large. To do
this the capabilities of the stations for repro
duction and the means of distribution have
been taxed TO their utmost capacity, Hatch
ing the young fish en- route VII =. aboard of
cars has been found perfectly successful amt
tripled the method of distribution From
various fishing stations l4o, 0OS, 900 eggs were
received. Counting for losses the actual dis
tribution of young fish was los, $4,000 OF
these fish the Hudson river ard tributaries

the Penobscot 49,, go, the kennebec .O47,-
600, the tributaries of the Gulf of Mexico
loss, 900 and inland waters 1,0l4 900.
A most important experiment has been
made looking TO the administration of the
sbad in the rivers which are III connection
with the photographic basin of the Great
Salt Lake. 1t is believed by Col Mcdonald
and the fish commission that all the condi-
tons for the reproduction Of shad are here
naturally found. The late commissioner,
Professor Baird, had determined to test by
exhaustive experiment the capabilities Of
these waters Accordingly 1000, 600 snad
fry were sent TO Utah and the young fish de-
posted in the Jordan river. This first at
tempt viii be followed in 1883 and 1889 The
value Of these fish in Utah territory can
hardly be estiInated.-New York Times.

ally they are seldom met with. | have seen
a great many cases of sickness which seemed
to me due to basement living, and many cases
of tuberculosis which seemed to have been
there developed. The last is particularly
noticeable among servant girls of foreign
birth. In the experience of physicians IN
some sections il is rare to find servant girl
living and working in a low basement who
has good health, though previous to coming
to this country, and being subjected to such
conditions, good health is stated TO be the
general rule. Many people have attacks of
sickness, following time of exposure in a
basement, with great regulsrity.-Dr. W. o.

the other evening she entered the lists as
prestidigitateur. Jugglers and Juggling and
hypnotism, &c, were under discussion in a
pleasant company, Of which she was one.
She was comparatively a stranger in the

promptly offered to back her claims with five

her up; then the door was opened and what

her pretty mouth and began to sing the

The Dismal Swamp of VIRGINIA.

a correspondent has recently stated that
the Dismal Swamp of Virginia was no longer
dismal, cranberry patches and clover fields
taking tho place of the once muddy ground,

he wadeS knee deep in the hay. Your CORE
spondent is greatly mistaken, and / am sure
he would not Ike to be following that far
mer's boy through the swamp. If he did at
tenpt to pass through any portion Of it he
would probably be equipped with pair of
rubber boots reaching to his waist and a
full stock of pet names to throw at the snags
that he would run against and the vines that
would trip him, and not with that merry
whistle Dodging green, Shiny pools that
would iet him down in mother earth deeper
and quicker than quicksand, making about
half n mile an hour, not including the stops
for refres hmcntS.
The farmers boy never goes in the
desert" except to look for a stray horse or
COW, or probably on hunt for Coons or pos
sums, and then he is very particular to keep
on the edges Parties are often made up TO
hunt the hears, of which the swamp is. full,
and they sometimes push into the heart of
the swamp to camp, and camp on the high
grounds. These high grounds are beautiful
little places. They are fully two feet higher
than the swamp proper, and while all around
them is nothing but stunted cypress and syc-
auore trees, the hulSer finds here large flour
fishing oaks and sweet smelling pines. under

capped slaves spent their days, and were safe
