A Poisonous Fish.

The anglers and lovers of fish about
Park Rapids, Mimi, are much dis
gusted and seriously alarmed over the
appearance of numbers of peculiar
fish in the lakes and ponds of that vi
cinity, and which fish is said to be high
ly poisonous. The best naturalists, as
well as the oldest and most experienced
fishermen of the neighborhood, have
declared that they are at loss to
name the strange fish, which are SO
voracious that they swallow all bait as
soon as placed in the water, and pre-
vent Others from biting, while wholly
uneatable themselves. 1t is also be-
lieved that they are exterminating the
other varieties, as immense quantities
of the latter are found dead every day
along the shores of the lakes and
ponds
The unknown member of the finny
tribe is not unlike a small trout, very
plump and very tender, with few bones,
and those large. 1t is, however, nearly
black in color, except about the under
parts, where it is of metallic gray mixed
with gold, and few red blotches near
the fins and about the head. 1t pre-
sents a handsome appearance in the
water, about the surface of which ii
delights to linger, making it very easy
game Eaten it has pleasant flavor,
but will produce violent pains in the
stomach which If not allayed precede
death only few hours. How these fish
came into the lakes no one knows, but
they first appeared about two weeks age
after heavy fall of rain, when many
firmly believed they accompanied it

Rock Crystal.

Rock crystal is plentiful in variona localities of the United States. A mass of it weighing fifty-one pounds from North Carolina was sent four years ago to New York. The original crystal, which must have weighed 300 pounds, was unfortunately broken ill piece, by the ignorant mountain girl who discov cred it. One very useful purpose tc which this mineral substance i, put ;s the manufacture of mirrors, when it can be found in big enough blocks to be sawed into slabs of sufficient size. Its superiority over glass lies in the fact that it does not, like glass, detract from the rosiness of the complexion. Every pretty woman should surely have hand glass of rock crystal.

Guidea at VeSuviuS.

A correspondent writes from Valle di Pompei: ''The death of the Brazilian journalist in Mount Vesuvius has rather damaged the reputation of the guides, but it is unjust to blame all the guides and their agencies. It is true that some of them are unfit to accompany stran- gers, especially in times of eruption, and even the permit of the police is no se- curity that the excursion will be safe one. But the chief fault lies with the travellers themselves. The guide who accompanied the Brazilian correspond ent has been regularly authorized tc conduct visitors for the last four years. and was considered no inexpert guide.
 "But, as I have often had occasion to observe, foreign visitors, and especially English young ladies, rebel against the cautions of the guides and often run and jump about on the very edge of danger. It is therefore difficult when some accident happens to define the re- sponsibility of the guides. They are cer. tainly not to blame if the people they conduct will not listen to them. Lon. don News

A Queer Way to Drink Wine.

The Spanish mountaineers drink in 8 curious fashion. Throwing back their heads, they raise the wine skin in the air with both hands, and allow the thin stream which flows from the pin hole in the horn nozzle to fall into their open mouths from distance of several inches. With bottle they manage to do the same by narrowing the mouth with the thumb and forefinger. The motive of this procedure IS economy.
 In these regions of high air, intense fatigue and snow water, wine is at once the most refreshing and tho heaviest thing among the provisions. And they assert that, drunk in this manner, one litre goes as far in the way of refresh ment as three drunk in mouthfuls from , cup It is true; but the first efforts of the duffer are apt to end in landing the rcd stream in his eye or on his chin which impairs the economy of the proceeding.

al am in great distress OF mind,
said Senator Sanders the other day;
"my heart is bowed down with woe,
because of the death OF my fellow be-
ing, Mr.. S. Bull, formerly a resident OF
my state, but recently a solourner in
a neighboring territory. He has gone
the way of all flesh aud there is other
copper-colored flesh that would not 60
far astray if it followed him. S. Bull
was a man of some activity in the line
of industry he pursued. His vocal or
gans were always in good repair; his
larynx never troubled him as it did
other people: if he ever suffered from
any pharyngeal difficulty, l was not
aware OF it, and his stomach was never
satisfied. In justice to him l should
say that most of the work he did was
performed by somebody else. (lf

His fighting was universally by proxy,
and the domestic labor pertaining to
his home was entirely vicarious, as his

that when he was not taking any risks
he exposed himself fearlessly. Vale,

out and become part OF many lives,
goes away from our shores the loss
and sorrow is correspondingly larger.

Boston Post: "Why is it," people
are asking every day, "that there is
such dearth of money!" 1t has not
been exported. Has it been boarded?
Not at all. There is just as much
money i'm circulation as ever, prob
ably more. But the trouble is not
here. In ordinary times financial
transactions are based much more on
confidence than on cash, say rs per
cent confidence and 25 per cent cash.
just now the supply of confidence is
low and the proportion is reversed.
And SO, although there is as much
cash as ever, and although it is doing
more service than in ordinary times,
it fails to 60 round. 1t is not more
cash that is wanted, but more conf
dence. That is the situation in nut
shell.

Cause of Failures.

have been a careful observer of agri-
cultural matters, and am of the opin-
ion that the principal cause of failure
in farming is lack OF intelligence and
work and managing the business con-
nected with the farm. Such failures
are mostly among men who never read
an agricultural paper or take any
pains to inform themselves in regard
to the best methods OF farming; they
seem to be satisfied in doing things
just as their fathers did before them,
and it is not to be wondered at that
they are left behind.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8, 1891.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8, 1891.
The only lottery recognized by congress
took place this week, when Senators Shoup
and Mcconnell Of Idaho drew let's to decide
Shoup drew the prize and will serve until
March B, 1895, while the senatorial career
OF his colleague will close with the present
session Of congress. These two gentlemen
are referred te by their older colleagues a.

The majority in congress, including most
Of the Democrats and all Of the Republi-
cans, are Of one mind in regard to the
Bshring sea correspondence, which was
sent to congress this week-they think that
Mr.. Blaine has conducted the negotiations
in a mastery manner, and that he has
shown that he 10 in no need Of assistance
from congress. OF course. there are a few
Democratic kickers who eriticise Mr.. Blaine
for not having taken a more pugnacious
stand, and they are the same fellows who
have for weeks been bowling themselves
hoarse because OF a sensational rumor say
ing that Mr.. Blaine was intsn ntienally bring
ing on q war with England.
Senator Ingalls, has returned to his duties
here, and, while he refuses to be interviewed
on the subject, his manner indicates to his
friends that he is confident OF being re-
elected.
The amount of talk aud criticism in
dulged in here OF the military authorities
and their movements against the Indians
carries old Washingtonians back to the
late war, when. as everybody knows, the
abest commanders remained in Washing
ton and did their fighting through the col
umns Of the newspapers.
The shipping bill is occupying the most OF
the time in the house this week, and it's
friends express confidence in it's passage.
The house has adopted resolution pro-
viding for an investigation OF the killing Of
Sitting Bull.
Vice President Morton is in no way to
blame for having accidentally been out OF
the chair, which was occupied by Senator
Harris, when the upheaval occurred which
resulted i'm temporarily shelving the elec-
ton bill. When he left the chamber to 60
to lunch Senator George was just beginning
what every one supposed would be a very
long speech, and had Mr.. Morton been in
the chair he could not have prevented Mr..
George giving the floor to Mr.. Stewart to
make his motion.
The international monetary conference
provided for by the late Pan-American con-
gress met here this week and was presided
over by Mr.. Blaine. Owing to the non-
arrival of some OF its members the confer
ence adjourned, subject to the call OF Sec
retary Blaine.

Inter Mountains: The honeyed words
and golden promises which the COVER

secret ballot law and the urgency OF
amendments to that measure do not
by any means conceal the danger to
popular liberty which would result
from the adoption of his suggestions
and their capitalization into law. The
laboring men of Montana have been
taught by bitter experience that the
millionaires are against them as far
as . free expression of opinion at the
polls is concerned, and that the high
officials who owe their positions to the
millionaire and corporation influence
are not to be trusted.
