caught by nets on the::lower river were
dumped overheard, because of the inca
pacity of the canneries to handle them.
When the wheel fisheries are so situated
they simply hoist their wheels and this
murderous waste is Immediately stopped.
1t is all right however, for the fish
ermen on the lower river to string their
nets by the thousands from shore to
shore, and murder and destroy all they
can, but the case seems to be different
when it is few fish wheels among the
rapids in Eastern Oregon.

several Kinds Of Beetle..

In the Argentine Republic a weevil
known as the diamond beetle" is in
great request for breastpihs and other
ornaments. The palm weevil of the
West Indies is regarded in that country
as great luxury, fried or boiled. It is
eaten in the larva stage, in the shape of
big white worm, which is found in ths
tenderest part of the smaller palm trees;
The historic poem of Brazil makes TIE
astonishing assertion that these worms
first become butterflies and subsequent
ly mice. A similar dainty in Java is the
larva of a beetle which, in the shape of
white maggot, lives in wood and SO
eats it away that the backs of chairs
and portions of other furniture are
often, though apparently sound, actual,
ly mere'shells.-Washington Star

JUDAS IsCARIoT.

The Probable Origin of His Name--Some
Legends About Him.
There is no doubt or ambiguity with
regard to the earliest part of Judas
Iscariot's name, says the New Orleans
States. Judas is merely the Greek or
Hellenistic form of the Hebrew
"Judah," familiar to everybody. But
"Iscariot' is, as it has always been, a
puzzle. At least half dozen interpre-
tations have been suggested by philolog
lists, but no one of them is in all respects
satisfactory.
The most seeming of their number is
that the word is condensed or corrupted
form of the Hebrew words, "Ish Ker-
10TH" meaning the man of Kerioth,"
Kerioth being a village in Southern
Palestine, where perhaps Judas or his
family had their origin. The name how
ever, is of no consequence for our pres
ent purpose; and we have remarked it
only to show the mystery attaching to
the man is every phase of his surround
ings.
With regard to his birth, legend and
myth are as copious as is conjecture
with regard to his name. Here are two
of them, for which we are Immediately
indebted to Moncure Conway.
In the apocryphal "Gospel of the In
fancy" it is related that a demoniacal
boy, brought to the child Jesus, strikes
him, whereupOn Jesus weeps, and Satan
comes out of the boy in the shape of a
furious dog. This boy was Judas. Ac-
cording to another legend Judas's mother
had dream before his birth that her
son would murder his father and sell his
God. To avert this the child was sunk
in the sea, but was cast on shore. He
was adopted by king and queen, Who
had son, whom Judas slew. He fled to
Judea, became the page of Plate, and,
after the predestined murder of his father
learned from his mother her dream.
In terror and contribution Judas hears
of prophet who forgives sins. When
he throws himself at his feet, Jesus,
recognizing him as his predestined
betrayer, accepts him as a disciple and
entrusts him with the purse, so that
Judas avarice might be excited and the
plan of salvation not fail. Judas thus
became heir apparent to the internal
throne, and in mural pictures of eastern
churches he appears seated on the knee
of majestic satan.

Aiming with a Revolver.

Captain j. Forman, Thirteenth infan-
try, says: ''It is peculiar fact that very
few men. even accomplished shots, know
how revolver ought to be handled.
Nearly all are taught to aim a revolver
as if it were a rifle-that is, by bring
ing the object aimed at and the fore and
hind sights into line This is all well
enough for shooting gallery practice,
but should never be followed in the field.
In training troops to use the revolver
they are taught, in aiming, never to
look at the weapon at all, but to keep
their eyes on the object to be struck. In
quick firing, and especially in shooting
from horseback, much better results are
obtainable in this way.
GA man throwing stone does not look
at his hand; neither does billiard play
er sight along his cue. The same rules
apply to the use of short weapons
have seen men trained to shoot excel
lently at mark when they could not
see their pistol sights at all. Pieces of
pasteboard were fastened just in front of
the cylinders, which effectually prevent
ed the men from using their foresights,
and greatly increased the rapidity, as
well as the accuracy, of their fire. Near
ly any one can sight pistol correctly,
the inaccuracy of the aim being due to
trembling of the hands before the trig-
ger is pressed. By hiding the sight the
temptation to hold too long is removed. |.
and the first aim, generally tks most ac-
curate, is preserved."-St. Louis Globe

GIVE US Il FAIR DEAL.

A paragraph which appeared in these
columns few days ago relating to the
number and capacity of the fish wheels
between this city and Cello has received
considerable comment at the hands of
newspaper men who are not familiar
with all the facts. Because a fish wheel
is able, under exceptionally favorable
circumstances to catch three tons of fish
In twenty minutes, or under like circum-
stances to catch ten to twenty tons of
fish day, it does not follow that this is
done all the time. The fact is all the
fish wheels on the river combined, do
not catch more than one tenth of the
whole product. Last year, it is said
thousands upon thousands of salmon

SUNDAY AGITATION.

Considerable agitation is in progress
relative to the opening of the World 8
Fair ON Sundays. The Independant has
obtained the views of ninety-seven
Protestant and Roman Catholic arch
bishops and bishops with the result that
large majority of Protestant prelates is
opposed to Sunday opening. Fourteen
out of twenty-five Roman Catholic &C.
clesiastics would admit the public on
Sunday, but only in the afternoon. Out
of twenty-five Episcopal bishops two
favor Sunday afternoon opening. Their
opinions however will by no means settle
the question and it is safe to say that
the big show will be open on Sundays
pretty much as on other days. While
the writer believes that Sunday is the
working mans day and that the man
who would rob him of it is an enemy to
the race, he has little hesitation in say
ing that the present agitation is un-
American. Much as we are indebted to
Christianity for the benignity of our
sense Christian government any more
than it is an infidel government. A day
of rest from active labor is wisely recog-
nized but it's religious observance is
purely a Christian institution with
which the government has nothing to
do. While the true Christian is pro-
foundly thankful that the day he holds
sacred above all others is, by our laws,
made legal holiday he has no right to
force its religious observance upon men
who are not Christians. To call in gov
ernmental aid for the suppression of
harmless Sunday pleasures is nothing
less than ''going down to Egypt for
help" The enforcement of the religious
observance of Sunday belongs to the
pulpit and Sunday school and not to the
legislature or other qusi-judicial bodies
and were not repelled from rather than
attracted to Christianity when preachers
and prelates endeavour to place legal
restraint on the innocent pleasures of
those who have never submitted to the
claims of the Christian religion.

GOOD TIMES INDICATED.

The report of U. S. Statistician j. R.
Dodge for the month ending May 9th, is
at hand and is but duplicate of the ex-
ceptionally high returns of the previous
month. The general average condition
of wheat drawn from the Consolidated
returns of county correspondents is 97.9
and is said to approach full condition
more closely than any other May report,
with one single exception since the de-
partment first commenced to issue crop
reports. 1t is the opinion of Mr.. Dodge
that all indications point to positive i'm
provement in farming prospects and
render practically certain, year of gen
eral agricultural prosperity. Western
prices of corn are more than 100 per
cent. higher than in May of last year.
Wheat has advanced about 80 per cent.
and the different classes of beeves in the
Chicago market from Is to "a per cent.
The report closes with the following
statement
The wheat crop, so far, promises to be
large. A few weeks will fix the relative
rise OF it. Ordinarily large crop would
depress prices. This year the prospec-
tive reduction of foreign crops, which is
assured though not yet definitely ascer-
tanned in degrees, will certainly make a
demand for any crop we are likely to
produce at remunerative, if not rela-
lively, high prices. The exhaustion of
the maize surplus will have it's effect in
sustaining corn prices during the year.
The same is true of the oats crop. OF
course a continuance of heavy crops will
eventually reduce prices, and this should
be avoided by wise diversion to
products needed but not produced. For
instance, in sugar-beet regions, ''to
plant or not to plant is not a question
OF the relative profit of an acre of wheat
or OF beets, but one which will help to
settle future prices of corn, wheat, pork
