WHEN THE NEW WEARS OFF.

He was youth and she, a maid
Both happy, young and gay,
They loved-and life to them was fai-
As one continuous May.
The croakers saw this happiness
And said 'Ah love is blind;
You're happy now, but care will come,
When the new wears of, you'n find"
They married, and then their life grew rich
With calmer, ripper joy;
They were as man and wife more fond
Than when as girl and boy.
Their friends could not endure the sight,
And said, with worldly w.t.
Tt will not be so bright and fine
When the new wears of a bit"
All, well, the new wore of, of course.
And then what did they findf
An oldness which was better far.
For Love is not 50 blind
As selfish Care; and loving hearts
New joys will always meet,
So, when the new wears of, they'll find
Old love the more complete.

SOME FISHERIES FIGURES.

In 1889 there were in operation
on the Pacific coast 1872 canneries,
90 being in the United States terri
tory and "a on British soil, and of
the former SO were in Alaska. Of
the total pack of salmon Alaska
produced the largest, and although
in the number of canneries the Terri
tory exceeded Oregon by only one
ablishment, the output was more
than double that of the state named,
a fact due partly to the large
capacity of the Alaskan canneries,
but chiefly to the greater productive
ness of the Alaskan rivers.
The number of cases put up was:
United States, ], 2S7,O6O, valued at
$7,993, $50; British Columbia, 414,
900 cases valued at $2,O72, 900.
The pack during the IA years ending
with 1889 on the west coast 12,
1880 cases with an estimated
value of SIS, 100000. The weight
of the salmon consumed in the pre-
para ton OF this enormous pack was
over S76, 100000 pounds equivalent
head of cattle, and greatly exceeding
the ldlleT III SCOuOIlllC lIIlpOI ldHCS
and food value.
In 1889 the pack of CTS. 900 in
Alaska, represented an increase of
$4,000 over the previous year.
The total shipment was 1864, 1897
cases. The aggregate number Of
men employed on vessels was 1879,
on boats 1904, shore men and factory
hands 3167, making a total of 49,
$50, not including 753 men employ
ed on whaling vessels belonging to
New Bedford, Mass, and making
their headquarters at San Francisco.
The value of apparatus and capital
employed in these fisheries is found
to be Sc, 499, 239, and the products
Of all kinds in 1888 were valued at

would make the tax heavier for the
year in which it was done than the
shiftless annual tinkering. Yet in
ten or fifteen years it would cost far
less for the original work and the re-
pairs. But the penny-wiseacres
who too often are allowed to manage
town business in such regions, have
so far defeated the proposition to
borrow money and make a sound
road once for all, paying off the debt
gradually. OF course, if the state
were responsible for the maintenance
of that important road it would
never tolerate such waste. So far as
to the economy; word as to the
equity of having the main roads built
and kept up by the state. 1t is often
the case that thoroughfare between
large and rich towns passes through
poor ones The main benefit from its
use is reaped by these strong COM

PREVALENCE OF GAMBLING.

The article on THE Prevalence of
Gambling" which is published in the
October number of the Forum, is one
of the clearest and best explanations
of the almost universal prevalence of
gambling that has appeared for
many years. 1t is written by Mr.
w. B. Curtis, editor of the Spirit of
the Times.
at is safe to say" writes Mr.
Curtis, "that there never was a time
in the history Of the world when
gambling was so rife among all
classes of people as at present. In
fact, many legitimate branches of
business are tinged with the hue of
speculation; those persons who do
not bet on horse-races or in stocks,
crafty their speculative tendencies
by dabbling in rural town lots, in
mining shares, and in various other
so-called business enterprises, the
methods of which are really varia-
tons of the methods of gambling by
the roulette wheel, with twenty eagle
birds instead of one. The same class
of men who, in the last century,
wagered thousands and hundreds of
thousands on the turn of a card or
on the emptying of dice-box, now
speculate in the stock, produce or
the cotton exchange, and on horse
racing, which is at present the great
est of all gambling games.
Mr.. Curtis, after citing figures to
show the vast scale on which betting
is carried at horse-races and in lot
teries, presents some interesting
views on the moral effect of this vice
upon those who indulge in it persist
emily. ga bold gambler" he says,
''is a great man gone wrong, and
gamblingi is a misdirection of courage
and energy and enterprise and of
most of those attributes that make
men most manly. The same mental
qualities that enable man to await
without tremor the turn of card
that carries his fortune, or the stock
quotation that will make him a beg
gar, will lead him to face death I'M
finchingly at the call of glory, of
honor, or of duty; will bring him
first over the breast-works when a
forlorn hope saves an army; and
will nerve him to risk his life for
others at the throttle, in the surf,
amid flame and smoke, or in a hos

LABOUCHERE ON THE PRINCE OF
WALES.

Nature has endowed the Prince of
Wales as it did Charles IL, with
great tact Like that monarch, in
conditions of men and women with
whom he is brought in contact, he
always says the right thing, and
says it in a hearty and CHEEKY way,
as though its utterance were pleas
ure. He presides over charity din
ners, lays foundation-stones, sits
through scientific oratory, opens
bazaars, and dances at balls with
unhagging zeal. He is eclectic in his
surroundings. A few years ago he
devoted himself greatly to American
girls, as their exotic independence
and freedom from conventionallty
pleased him. They have now been
put aside, and he has developed
curious taste for vulgar and osten-
tatious parvenues of doubtful ante
cedents and nondescriptive nation
atty. This has caused heartburn
ings among those who deem that
they ought by right of birth to be his
associates; but it is a matter of alb
solute Indifference to others. A few
months ago he figured in a court of
law as a baccarat player where
cheating had been suspected; and
whenit came out that he himself had
provided the counters with which the
game was played, he was lectured
and prayed for by the "unco guide, !"
although confess that failed to see
the difference between playing at
baccarat and keeping race-horses.
The general feeling was that it might
be well for him SO to arrange his
amusements as to manage to keep
out of the law courts; but his popu-
larity has not permanently suffered
from this episode October Forum.

One of the chief hindrances to the
farmer in the decadent town is the
increasing difficulty of keeping up
decent roads. With the departure of
those who seek the city, all the bur-
dens of those who stay grow more
heavy. The almost certain result is
that road repairs will be done on
more skimping scale year by year,
although this treatment makes the
cost greater instead of less. When
anything is running down is just the
time when thorough work is needed.
THERE'S, however, an element of hope
Just at this point. The main roads
are essential to the comfort and
prosperity of the larger towns, and
when their condition gets too bad,
there's reason to hope that the state
will take these main roads in hand.
This will, or should, secure scientific
location, so as to give favorable
grades and avoid spots where good
road cannot be made or maintained
at any cost. l know of stage road

hauling is done that has been run

AN ANECDOTE OF ROUGET DE
L'ISLE.

A rather curious anecdote is related
of Rouget de IIsle, the composer of
the "Marseillaise," who was the son
Of a lawyer at Lons-le-Saunier.
When a mere baby, about two years
of age, he one day left the house I'M
observed by anyone except Caesar,
the old house dog. One or two
gypsy women who were passing at
the time, struck by his beauty and
the elegance of his attire: suddenly
seized him, and wrapping him up in
her apron, hurried away as fast as
she could. The dog, recognizing the
cries of the child, rushed after the
woman and seized her by the leg and
compelled her to drop her burden.
BY this time the whole house had
been aroused, and young Rouget's
parents and the servants came up,
delivered the boy. and had the
woman arrested

rupt. With the latter the exact op-
posite is true. As class they are
honest. So withjournalists; as class
they are careful and conscientious.
The erroneou sjudgment of public
men and members of the press spring
from the same cause; namely, listing
the shortcomings of the few upon
the many. In the one case the fact
that party men, as a rule, unite to
shield those detected in wrong creates
a general opinion that the class is
corrupt In the other the fact that
there is too much liberation by the
press of the present day of its
libelers and sensation-mongers gives
excuse to pubic men for their sweep
ing charges. In word, the most
effective foes OF the press are those of
its own household. 1t is fully able
to deal successfully with all others it
should be abundantlv able to crush

A STORY OF RENAN.

Here is an interesting story about
M .Renan. He formerly lived in large
housein the Rue-de Fournon, opposite
to a hair-dresser's shop. One morn
ing M. Renan went across the road
to get a shave, and was asked by the
barber to provide him with a legend
to have painted on the shop-front.
After a moments reflection, Renan
wrote on a card a Greek sentence,
which may be translated as fol-
lows:-"I shave quickly, and my
tongue keeps pace with the razor. y

THE PRESS AND PUBLIC MEN.

Is the press immaculate? BY no
means. Do all connected with it ap-
preciate the grave responsibilities
which their limitless facilities for
reaching the public should impose
upon them? Again the answer must
be an emphatic no. Have public men
no reasonab BILE grounds ofcomplaint !?
Undoubtedly they have. But the
sweeping judgment which too many
ofthem pass upon the representatives
of the press as a body has in it the
same elements of unfairness and in
justice as exist in the wide opinion
that public men as a class are cor

WHISTLE SIGNALS.

The United States weather bureau
has recently authorized the esta blish-
ment of a large number Of weather
signal display stations in New Eng
land for the purpose of displaying
the daily weather forecasts and cold
wave warnings by means of signal
flags. The forecasts are telegraphed
at government expense to any sec
ton where set of flags will be pro-
cured and regularly displayed for the
benefit of the public. This offer has
been taken advantage of in many
places. but there are other places in
New England where the flags cannot
be displayed to great advantage, and
to properly cover these regions a
system of whistle signals should be
established. The forecasts and cold
wave warnings will be telegraphed
to limited number fmills, foundries,
ETC.. in the agricultural sections,
whose owners will arrange to give
the warning signals at some stated
hour in the day. The signals will be
as follows:
One long blast indicates fair
weather.
Two long blasts indicates rain or
snow.
Three long blasts indicate local
rains.
One short blast indicates lower
temperature.
Two short blasts indicate higher
temperature.
Three long blasts indicate cold
wave.
Different combinations can easily
be made, full explanation of which
will be sent them when the station is
established. 1t is sufficient to say
that the warning signal to attract
attention will be blast of from Is
to 20 seconds duration. After this
warning signal has been sounded
long blasts (of from four to six
seconds duration) refer to the
weather, and short blasts (of from
one to three seconds duration) refer
to temperature; those for weather
to be sounded first. BY repeating
bilities of error in regarding the fore
casts will be avoided.
WHY THE DUTCHMAN WAS GLAD.
A good story comes from South
Africa in regard to a Dutch Boer.
He attended a religious meeting
when they were discussing the pros
and cons of the rite of baptism, and
when the conclusion arrived at was
that persons should be baptised by
being dipped in water, because the
words in and into did not. in Biblical
language, mean in and into. Then
the Dutchman stood up and said,
"Oh 1 was so glat l was here dis
night, because 1 learn that in and in
to do not mean in and into. was
so glat for l ust to feel sorry for
those three Hebrew boys that the
Bible says were put into the big,
fiery furnace. was so glat to hear
that into did not mean into only
close by, where they would be warm.
Oh l was so glat because goot little
Daniel was not put into the den by
the big lions only near where he
would get frighten bid. How
please l was, to be here tonight be-
cause l learn that no one will be put
in hell, because in does not mean in.
Bud l was sorry also, when l think
about it, caus if in and into dom
mean in and into, perhaps none of us
will get into heaven, only close by,
just outside, caus in does not mean
in, only near by"

resisted by the Idaho senators on the
ground that Beattie was an active parti-

to invalidate the election of Standardized
Dubois, and finally Farwell, a warm
friend of Dubois, caused the failure of
the nomination by a demand that it lie
over for day, which carried it over March
