THE DIFFERENCE,

Our HeighbOrs of the Chronicle need not
lie so much alarmed at the prosperity of
THE CALL for it caters to a different inter-
est from that of its contemporary. The
Chronicle has the reputation of selling its
columns to those persons who will pay the
mos. for them. Its management, in our
opinion. IS on a par with those members of
the Legislature who sell themselves fer
price. Only a few days ago we were in
formed that the interest which is endeavor-
ing to establish irrigation companies in this
State ana 10 put their bonds upon the mar
ket actually had TO pay the paper some
thousands of dollars for its services. No
matter how meritOrious proposition may
be or how much it may be calculated to
benefit the State, De Young must have his
pound of flesh" This, we presume, is fair
in the estimation of De Young, but THE
CALL does not look upon it in that light.
The Chronicle has labUred quite diligently
since TIE CALL was robbed of some $4,000
to misrepres-nt the condition of the ! aper,
but without success for it is now In better
condition than it has ever previously been.
Not month, we believe. since the robbery
took place. has THE CALL failed to pay
reasonable profit, and for no time within
several years has it had so large a daily
gain. The Chronicle. we believe, was one
Of the papers which sought TO make the
public believe the proprietors OF TIE CALL
were more TO blame for being robbed than
were the culprits who committed the robbie
ries. THE CALL to-day is the most valuable
piece Of newspaper property Cd the Pacific
Coast, and, indeed. we may truly say that it
is worth more than any other newspaper
published in the United States west of
Chicago and st Louis. De Young had con-
siderable money at one time from the rail-
road company to help put down THE CALL,
but it did not accomplish much toward such
a result. The Chronicle is regarded In Cali
fornia as a newspaper which is ready to
work with and for any interest which will
pay it money, while THE CALL advocates
right and strives to support an honest gov
ernment. This is why THE CALL has influ-
euce and meets with success

FISH AS BRAIN FOOD.
The Fallacy of the Ichthyophagists Com
pletely Exploded.

pletely Exploded.
AS result of personal experience. / may
state that some years since l lived for a
period of forty days, so far as what is called
solid food is concerned, solely on fish, with,
of course. the addition of bread mo potatoes
were eaten during the period; but / can
not recommend that mode of living. dis
covered before the forty days had expired
that fish was not the staff Of life, says a
writer in Temple Bar.
In the course OF my experiment not only
lost flesh but also energy, nor did | feel my
head clearer or my thoughts and feelings
more alert than when subSisting on more
varied food. While living upon fish only
one feels " a want" a craving for some
thing you don't know what-that is to say,
you cannot give name to your desires !;
nor does the feeling wear off as you con-
tlnue the dietary; at all events, in my case
custom came to the rescue; SO, after forty
days had expired, returned to the flesh
pots, not all at once though being convinced
that caution was necessary.
One popular fallacy in connection with
fish may be noticed. namely, the oft-repeated
assertion that the eating OF that particular
food increases brain-DOwer. No one who
has studied the subject can possibly believe
the assertion. A man might eat huge
portion OF fish every day of his life, and on
the day of his death, if the quantity of
phosphorus (the brain invigorator) con-
sulned were TO become visible it would not
amount to more than might probably suffice
to tip a couple of lucifer matches. Com
munities have existed that lived almost
solely on fish, but these ichthyophagists were
certainly not famous for intellectual attain
mentS. Nor are our fisher villages, in
many of which much fish is presumably
consumed, the seats of any great amount of
brain power. None of our fsher-folks are
remarkable for genius. or even what is
called common sense; their views of life
and its responsibilities being shrOuded in a
haze of superstition, which they lack suffi-
Gent strength of mind to see through.
No fishing community, SO far as is known
to the writer, has given 10 the world a great
man. Men of mark-poets, preachers,
lawyers, warriors, philosophers and physi-
cians-have emanated. in Scotland at any
rate, from all classes except the fishing class.

THE ENGLISH VIEW OF IT.

English publishers and writers have
taken good look at the American copy
right act and have come to the conclusion
that the Americans have the best of it. The
American law requires the American edition
OF an English book to be printed from
American plates. AS measure of economy
one set of plates should serve for both coun-
tries. The cost OF these plates is the prin-
cipal cost of book. There is no reason
why it should be incurred twice In publish
ing in the same language. But as the United
States has positively prohibited the importa-

STREET HALLWAY TRAFFIC.

The Canadian city of Toronto has just
come into possession of the street railway
system by virtue of clause in the original
charter providing that at the expiration of
thirty years the property should revert to
the city. Since May Municipal Street
Railway Committee has been operating the
roads. but the council proposes to lease the
lines as soon as proper arrangements can
be perfected. Tour tenders have been pub
lished. which show that street railroad
traffic is more profitable than has been sup
posed. The city finds that it can realize
profit of S137. La as the system stands. or
$780, if the city will convert tile lines to
electricity and add twenty miles 10 the length

One of the ingenious bttmen. an in

that and surprises are vet to come Set

Mr. Norton runs good sized apiary,
