THE rIsHERrns TREATY.

A MAJORITY of the Senate committee on foreign relations have reported ad- versely to a resolution ratifying the fisheries treaty with Great Britain. It appears that the import of this treaty, which was formulated and concluded without the advice or consent of either congressional house, is widely at vari- ance with what the public were led to believe during the negotiations, The committee find that instead of being in any proportion equitable to the rights of our fishermen, the conditions of the treaty virtually cede every point of value to Great Britain, binds the United States to be content with
 whatever is given by this treaty as full measure of its rights, and to be content with it forever or until a greater hospitality or freedom of inter- course can be obtained by further con sessions or consideration on our part. " It fun cher surrenders and annuls the right of United States fishermen from carrying on their business in the larger bays along the British territory, ri5h ht which has been claimed and exercised by our fishermen for century by vir. tue of a tribunal decree organized un- der a treaty with that government. From beginning to end the treaty is simply an itemized list of privileges and concessions granted to the British with virtually nothing to represent to our fisheries the heavy and unjust losses they sustain through its provisions.
 The committee very properly censure the President for withholding informa- ton on the question from the Senate. Why the President should have so stu diously endeavored to secure the ratif- cation of the treaty would ordinarily appear mysterious, but in the case of Cleveland, who is notorious panderer to English interests, and laboriously improves every opportunity to discrimi- nate, proclaim and endeavor to infu- ence legislation adversely to home in- terests, the shadow is dispelled. The grip of the Golden Club is apparent in the direction of Cleveland's policy, and that its imperious dictates find servile obedience in the once unbending and naughty sheriff and hansman of Erie County is amply proven by a glance at the prolific anti-American sugges- tions and recommendations to be found in his official messages,

Leaping salmon or canada.

The salmon rivers of Canada are all
streams of swift currents, whirling rapids
and high falls. The salmon seems to
make its way up these streams with as
much case as he moves down. One of
1 the sights in the vicinity of Quebec is
the salmon leaping at the Falls of
Lovette, and during July many persons
assemble there to see it. The falls are a
succession of steep tumbles, and the water
PUSHES over the rocks with great velocity.
The salmon gather at the foot of the
lower tumble, and, with marvellous leaps
up the very face of the rushing waters,
make their way to the summit without
apparent difficulty, gliding up the swift
chutes like a flash and mounting each
successive tumble until the grand sum-
NIT is reached. The Canadian will tell
you that when there was no legal inter
ference with spearing, the Indians were
in the habit of gathering at the foot of
the falls in their birch canoes and cast
ing their spears at the salmon as they
leaped up the torrents, making their
casts with such marvellous skill that the
salmon aimed at was invariably stopped
in his vaulting career and fell back i'm
paled by the Indians cruel barb.--Cor.

At the Dinner Table.

The American An~thropologist has posi-
tive views that a perfect dinner, thor
oughly good in variety, cookery, service,
aesthetic appliances, culinary chemistry,
roses in winter, ice in summer, and
guests with educated palates, is the
finest type and expression we have of
the highest civilization. ''Savages eat
when they can get food, and eat as long
as the food lasts. Civilization may be
traced by the changing hours of refec-
ton" That is doubtful, for the rules
quoted from the age of Francis l, of
France, are better than those now in
vogue: Rise at 8, dine at 8, sup at s
and couch at o." The question of grace
at meals is traced to the pre-C Christian
and heather habit of placating the gods,
offering them a share of the food. Her.
bert Spencer would refer it to the Gus
tom of offering a part of each meal to
deceased ancestors, and members of the
family. Almost all customs eAtant have
secured new meanings since their origin.

Give Felons Their Labor.

The idea is simply preposterous that
the people sent to the penitentiary should
live in idleness. They should have the
benefit of their labor, and if you give
them the benefit of their labor they will
turn out as good work as though they
were out of the penitentiary. They will
have the same reason to do their best.
Consequently, poor articles, poorly CON
structed things, would not come into
competition with good articles made by
free people outside of the walls.
Now many mechanics are complaining
because work done in the penitentiaries
is brought into competition with their
work. But the only reason that convict
work is cheaper is because the poor
wretch who does it is robbed. The only
reason that the work is poor is because
the man who does it has no interest in
its being good. If he had the profit of
his own labor he would do the best that
was in him, and the consequence would
be that the wares manufactured in the
prisons would be as good as those manu-
featured elsewhere. For instance, we
will say here are three or four men work
ing together. They are all free men.
One commits a crime and he is sent to
the p~enitentiary. Is it possible that his
companions would object to his being
paid for honest work in the penitentiary?

A Spirited American Lady.

1 was recently told a good story about
a spirited American lady, for whom q
titled female friend had undertaken the
delicate mission of inviting for her a
number of guests to fill her house al
Ascot sduring the races. Among these
guests were numbered seven male scions
of the British aristocracy. Two Of these
p~ersonages behaved as gentlemen should
do, and were all courtesy and amiability
to.their hostess. The other five acted as
the British cad is apt to do under any
circumstances, and persistently snubbed
the lady under whose roof they were
staying. On the return of Mrs. x
to London, she was asked who her guests
had been at Ascot. at had the pleasure
of entertaining two gentlemen and five
men," was her answer. This reply got
abroad, and every one of the seven called
upon her afteTward to express separately
and individually the hope that he had

Gold and silver has become SO com,

and you see the result before you. Just
o great simplicity is affected in this

that when this metal becomes popular, as

copper was not more generally used be-

harmonizes perfectly with dark mate
rails and compilations, and it is compar-
atively free from oxidation. Barbarous2

Absinthe consists essentially of alcohol
mixed with volatile oil of NORWOOD and
some other less active Ingredients, especi-
ally oil of anise. DR.. Cyrus Edison, of
the health department, and others say
that for some time it has been noticed
that the effects of absinthe drinking diff
fer essentially from those of pure alco-
holio drinks, constituting u series of
symptoms which have been designated
under the name of absinthism. The at
tention of u reporter was called to the
case of a wealthy merchant who was
quite recently taken i'll in the street and
carried into the house of a physician. He
had for a score of years drank brandy
and whisky, oftentimes to excess. About
six months ago he took to drinking alb
sinthe In the morning 70 steady his nerves.
He found that after the first effects
of the drink wore off he was in a worse
condition han before, and in order to
keep up he found it necessary to keep him
self pretty much all the time braced up
with the poison. From drinking alb
sinthe in whisky he took TO drinking it
plain. When he was carried into the
physicians Office he was frothing Mt the
mouth and suffering from commissions.
He is now under special care and there
are hopes OF his ultimate recovery.
The characteristic symptoms of alb
sinthism are restlessness at night, with
disturbing dreams and nausea and vomit-
ing in the morning. The hands tremble
and the tongue shakes in n jerky fashion
in the mouth. The sufferer is hardly
able to articulate. Then follow vertigo
and a decided tendency to epileptiform
commissions, in which the patient loses
consciousness. he falls, bites his tongue,
foams at the mouth and makes facial
grimaces. All the while his limbs are
working. Experiments nave been made
with alcohol and oil of NORWOOD, separ-
ately, on the lower animals, and it is I'M
deniably demonstrated that the effects re-
ferred TO are ascribable directly to the
wormwood. AS absinthe is made from
wormwood it may be inferred by even
the uninitiated in medical science hat as
q drink it more dangerous than any
other alcoholic drink in its pure form.

Professor w. Matthew Williams writes
to Nature hat the practice of muzzling
oysters-recently described-is by no
means new, though probably original OF
the part of American naturalists. Lon
don fishmongcrs have muzzled oysters on
a large scale from a time that is imme-
mortal among them, but without wires,
as anybody may learn by watching an
expert in the process of barreling. After
the mass OF oysters is compressed so as to
render the slightest gaping of any one
quite impossible he firmly nails down the
head of the barrel. Experience has
proved that oysters thus effectively muz-
zled may take long slow journeys Gas they
did in the old coaching days. and be kept
fresh and without loss of flavor for two
or three weeks, provided the barrels are
unopened. If, however, they are loosely
barreled q few days are too many.-Chi-

When hardly more than a boy he

Six months later he was found in an
uninviting little room with a case or two
of eggs and several tubs CT butter, hav-
ing gone into business for himself on
borrowed money.
"Clerking don't pay" he said. THE

law in a short time. Then he spent three
months working on a patent shoe but
toner that amounted to nothing, al
though he said it was worth a million
dollars.
He mex went west, but instability and
lack of purpose are worth no more there
than in the east, and he came back pro-
nouncing the west the greatest humbug
of the age.
He tried canvassing, reporting, type
writing and bookkeeping, but gave up
each occupation for something that
promised immediate and great wealth.
he had married in the meantime, and
he and his wife successfully boarded,
kept house, took their meals out and
rented a lodging house. With a great
fortune always in sight, he is always
poor. Unmindful of the fixed rules of
success in life, he spends his days in
seeking the short cut to wealth that such
men never find.-Youth's Companion.
