BRITISH SHOP.KEEPERS.
Brutal Arrogance Alone Inspires Them
with Respect.

Brutal Arrogance Alone Inspires Then
with Respect.
Not long ago heard one lady say to
another: ''If ever you buy hat or .
bonnet at any Of these London shops, be
sure to carry it away with you, for If
you leave it to be sent the tradespeople
will steal off some of the plumes or
other ornaments and keep them for sale
to other customers. All the tradesmen
in London will do that" Upon inquiry
learned that the speaker had had
sorry experience at one Of the most fash
ionable ladies' furnishing shops in tho
city. Paying for handsome bonnet,
she ordered it sent to her home; when
it arrived she found that it had been
plucked Of its finest plume. On other
occasions, in other shops, she had met
with similar experience. There was no
restitution. her complaints and expostu-
lations were simply sneered ct The
average London tradesman, groveling
though he may be in his attentions to
you while he has you in his tolls, does
not seem to care to retain your patron
age. He skins you at once, and having
got your money, it is ''thank you-good
day" forever.
Arrogance is the weapon with which
to deal with the London tradesman; be
brutality arrogant and you are respected.
The cowardly swagger Of John Bull was
never more clearly illustrated than in
England's recent dealings with poor lit

bully he sneers; when he dare not sheer
he fawns. He is no longer an Anglo

THE CONNECTICUT RIVER.
Interesting Facts About the Salmon
and the Shad.

Interesting Facts About the salmon
and the Shad.
DR. Hudson, one of the state fish COM
missioners, says that he has no official
knowledge of the fact as published in
river is to Ee stocked with salmon. DR.
Hudson says: "The Connecticut river
was stocked with salmon in 1874 by this
state, Massachusetts,. New Hampshire
and Vermont, 100000 of the little fel-
lows being Put into the river. In 1873,
when the result of the work were ex-
peoted to be seen, 500 salmon were
caught. Some have been taken every
year since, but the number has grown
rapidly less: In 1878 salmon. were
caught in the Connecticut weighing
from twelve to sixteen pounds. In the
following year some were taken which
weighed as much as twenty three
pounds.
there are two difficulties in the way
of stocking the Connecticut river with
these fish. First, fishermen take them
III large quantities as they come up the
river to spawn, and st cond, If they es-
cape the danger they can't get over the
Holynke dam. A fishway was erected
at the dam in 1878, but it has never
been of any use except for lamprey cells.
Some of the difficulties in the way of
salmon propagation in the Connecticut
are also working against the shad. The
catch in the river has been constantly
decreasing. In 1885, 100, 800 We're taken
between Essex and the mouth of the
river and contiguous parts of the sound;
in 1886, the number was III, $50; in 1887,
50, $50 in 1888, 6S, $40; and in 1889, Az
1926. This great decrease has gone on in
spite of constant efforts on the part of
the fish commissioners to Ike .p the river
stocked.

He was badly bruised about the head
and shoulders. his cap was gone, as well
as his punch and one shoe. When he
revived he said that an unknown man
had pushed him from the train. Other
conductors and trainmen say that the

than likely that MIR Hubbard was blown
instead of having been pushed off. He
was taken to his home in Bridgeport and
