From the bulletin of the United States

of the Oregon Gamers of fresh salmon
TO pack not only the rich and savory fish
which ascend the rivers in the spring,
but the exhausted, poor and taste.ess
specimens which descend the same in
the autumn. This will account for the
fact that while the salmon of one can is
full of flavor, that of the next may be
dry and absolutely worthless.

The Overwhelming CoDceit OF the
Great Artist.
From the New York Star.
A Boston artist who was intimately
acquainted with Whistler in Venice
several years ago, tells two good stories
concerning that eccentric genius that
strikingly illustrate his natural or as
sumed conceit.
He was confined to his room for sew
eral days at one time with malignant
sore throat. An artist friend. with a
companion. called on him and found
him in bed, bundled up with wraps and
making a feeble attempt to gargle his
throat.
"How are you to-day, Jimmie?" said
one.
"Oh, Internally bad, Internally bad"
growled Whistler. Don't you know
you fellows ought to post bulletin out
in the plaza saying: Whistler is very
i'll. The physician has just left him and
he refuses to take medicine"

and. after looking the west over rs far
