After all there is vast deal in n

readily as disguised Eastern herring
in cotton-seed oil. Ocean trout and
ALASKA mackerel" are considered far
superior to the common menhaden
from which they spring. Picked
whitetishn are much more satisfactory
to the imagination than the weak-ish
which represent them in the market.

We are reminded of a circumstance

few years ago which created good

introduced a fish OF surprising sweet

tirely free from bones All went
swimmingly for a time. Inquiries
failed to reveal the name of the new

barrelful of young sharks 90 into the

Lumbermcn Near North Bay Fighting for
Their Pay-They storm the Company's
Stores and Kill the Manager.
TORONTO, Ont, May News has reached
the city of terrible riot among lumber
men in the district of Algoma, near
North Bay. The men who have been
working all winter have not received a
cent of wages, and after several peaceable
attempts to obtain their money have re-
sorted to force. Two days since they as
sembled to the number of several hundred,
and, again failing to convince the man
ayers of the justice of their demands,
attacked the stores, killing the chief
manager and badly mutilating his
body. His assistants were taken
prisoners and are held as hostages. But
and in the conflict which followed two of
the rioters were killed The enraged
mob, having full sway, soon pillaged
the stores and, becoming maddened
with whisky. took possession of the
country, W hich is now in a state of terror,
the inhabitants of the district having barri-
caded their houses The district is far from
civilization and the only means of communi-
cation is by telegraph wires along the Cana
dian Pacific. These have been cut and
all communication with Winnipeg and
reached Toronto by traveller who arrived
in the city Friday and brought a request
that aid should be sent Accordingly a
body of the finest men in provincial police
was sent out by special train.
