missiuners had come to st. Paul during
the past week with $4,000 young carp,
with which to stock our Northwestern
waters, excited smile of ridicule on
the faces of some people. They won
dered what 80, 600 fish would amount to
among the rivers and lakes Of this sec
ton; and how, from so small plant,
this generation could hope to be sup
piled with fish food. Persons who
wondered at these things were ignorant
of the breeding capacity of the fish.
The number of eggs that one fish pro-
duces is marvellous, and if the fish
themselves were not continually
destroyed or taken they would soon fill
up every available space in the seas.
For instance, from 60.000,000 to 10000
600 Goldfish are annually caught on the
shores of Newfoundland. But that
quantity seems small when it is consid-
cred that each cod yields about 100000
eggs every season, and that even S,000.-
coo have been found in the roe of a
single cod. Were the 10000, 900 Goldfish
taken OIL the coast of Newfoundland
left to breed. the 100000 females pro-
ducing 100000 eggs each, it would give
a yearly addition OF 150,000,000, 900, 900
young Goldfish. Other fish are not SO
prolific as the cod: yet the herring. the
least prolific, is provided with about
$4,000 eggs.
Electrical Inventions still go on. The
old style finger ring with setting con-
tanning small compass is now being
brought into use by electrical engineers.
Held near line wire, the movement of
the compass shows at once whether a
! current is passing. In Paris the cleo
trio storage system has proved sue
cess.
The New York Medical Record says
that tumbler Of milk, heated as hot as
it can be slipped, is more stimulating and
by far more wholesome than mug of
beer or glass OF wine. The prompt
ness with which its cordial influence is
felt is indeed surprising, and is particu-
larly recommended for those who are
suffering from fatigue. Persons who
now fancy they need alcoholic stimu-
lants when exhausted by fatigue will
find in this simple draught an equivalent
that will be abundantly satisfying and
far more enduring in its effects.

Public opinion in France from both
the medical and legal side concurs in
the general conclusion that legislation
is needed to cover the most palpable
employment of hypnotism as all aid to
crime. The fact that hypnotiZed sub
ject can take and execute criminal
suggestion made by another, and yet
be innocent of any immoral intent, is
now well settled conviction in the
minds of French scientists.

1t has been favorte theory with
the Republicans that the Democratic
party is the whisky party. 1t is not
likely to ever adopt prohibition as a
featureln its platform, and makes few
pretensions to superiority on moral
lines. Still, its practical methods may
compare favorably in results with those
of any other organization. so far as per-
tains to minifYing the conceded evils
of the liquor business. In Missouri
the Democratic party, by its legislative
action, imposed stringent regulations
upon the traffic, and evoked such oppo
sition that the vote controlled by the
saloons was solidly massed for the Re-
publican ticket, and gave HARRISON
his large majority in st. Louis. The
great Democratic paper there is indig-
nant, anG demands that as a political
factor the liquid feature must be elm
mated. The Republican party is the
bulwark of the traffic in thai state. evil

The young mems club organized IL,
connection with the Peoples church is
understood to admit upon its programme
of recreation chess, whist and billiards,
and perhaps other games usually classed
with these. The distinguished Prof.
PROCTOR was an expert in those
named, and regarded them as the three
great games. Chess he put at the head.
as purely and often quite intense
mental exercise. There is no chance in
it, and little attraction for mental in
dolence. Whist he approved as good
for the memory and brains, and bill
iards involved exercise and gave alert
ness to the eye and hand. The fact is
growing in appreciation that there is no
needfnl connection of the amusements

young with anything that is pernicious
