Hos1ERY.-Fancy hosisry seems to be
coming to the front. But, while black hose
will retain its large circle of friends, fancies
h we acquired mary mere admirers than
thew had, last year. Spring impcrtations
show novel combinations Of callers more or
less fast. aud The variety is such thai al
tastes. ages and social sradstiuns can hod
what they consider appropriate tcT them.
Much preference is being shown to Very loud
fanc:es, and the more the colors contrast
and the more strangely they ere asa 9Fsed,
the greater seems TO be the fever they are
expected to find.

TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY IA.

FISH raoM UNDEReRoUND The follow
ing fish story comes from Santa Rosa, Cal.
A we'll has been dug on the ranch OF John
Walker, who lives a few miles west of that
city. which is o marvel to the neighbors. In
drs wing water thousands of eyeleas fsh,
ranging from half al inch to six inches in
length have been taken out. Occasionally
the bucket is drawn up half full OF fish. NO
subterranean inlet to the we'll bias yet osen
discovered. The well 1t about fifteen miles
from the oceaD, and e chain of mountains
intervene. This is q reminder OF the WOO
derfnl eyeless dsb that were swimming 10
the hot, wafer of the lower levels of the
Savage mines some years ago.

SAYS THEY ARE ABOMINABLE
As Compared With the Pasements OF
other Cities.

Andrew Fyfe, the superior court
clerk, while on his two weeks iaun,
through the Queens Own, Canada.
made some interesting observations.
lie was particularly observing Of the
pavements, and be has come home pre-
pared to give the people few points if
necessary.
The finest and the only truly Ameri-
can city IN Canada is Toronto" he SAID
yesterday. Il was particularly struck
with the payements and Grand Rapids
could take a few pointers from our
Canadian neighbor. The streets are ali
paved with cedar blocks, Medina stone
and asphalt, and they present truly
pleasing appearance To one who has
been obliged TO travel over gravel.
NeIilngton-st. Is paved with asphalt
and II Is as smooth as billiard liable.
Any evening hundreds of bicycles can be
seen spinning along ut a lively rate
II has become the leading pleasure
drive Oh the city, whereas before very
lew people could be induced 10 take
their horses on II. II has been said that
one great objection 10 asphalt is It's
smOothness. which causes horses To
slip. 1t appeared to me that the ami
nais Travelled over 1t Just as easily as
over wooden pavements. and they
seemed to be equally as sure of their
footing.
"A question arises with me as 10
whether the Canal-st. pavement will be
substantial enough TO stand the wear
and tear OF every day travel on a lead
ing thoroughfare. As / understand IL
tney are only going 10 lay > inches Of
asphalt Oh a 6-inch concrete fonnds-
uon. On NClhDgtOn-st. they Law 4
inches of asphalt on a Pinch concrete
foundation. This is just double the
IhickneSs OF the pavement contracted

enough, there are chances that it's not.

The school census has not as yet been
