of Fish,

It is said that between 60, 900, OOO, 900
and 100, 900, 900, 900 Goldfish are taken
from the sea around the shores of New
foundland every year. But even that
quantity seems small when we consider
that over 5000, coo eggs have been found
in the roe of a single cod. A herring of
six or seven ounces in weight is pro-
vided with 80, 200, 600 ova. After max
ing all reasonable allowances for the
the destruction of eggs ando the young,
it has been calculated that in three
years a single pair Of herrings woult
produce 154, 600, 600.

has no less than three thrones. One is
the old-fashioncd affair of the days of
the king of Prussia, another was fur
nished for the occasion of the Princess
Victoria's wedding, and now a
third appears, to be used only
when his majesty appears as
supreme head of the United German
Empire. This last one is created in the
white hall of the German Schloss, and
its canopy is of yellow silk and gold
brocade, into which the imperial eagle
is beautifully woven.

JENNY LIND, according to her mem
oirs just published, disliked her career
as a professional %songstress very much.
Writing 10 her father in 1912 she eS-
pressed the desire that God would save
her from being obliged to sing on the
stage. During her whole life there was
a gradual increase of religious feeling,
which doubtless induced her early re-
tirement from the stage, although not
through puritanical motives.

The way in which Hoods Sarsaparilla builds up
people in run down or Weakened state of health
conclusively proves the claim that this medicine
makes the weak strorg." 1t does not act like a
stimulant, impartinG fictitious strength from
which there must follow a reaction of greater
weakness than before. but in the most natural
way Hoods Sarsaparilla overcomes that tired
feeling. creates an appetite, purities the blood.
and, in short. gives great bodily, nerve, mental

The police are not idle, even if the troops

that an ounce of prevention is worth pound
of cure, the police yesterday evening arrested
about three hundred Anarchists, Socialists,
and other persons coming under the category
of dangerous characters" These men will
be held as prisoners until all signs of danger
have passed, in order to prevent them from
melting riots or IN any other way taking steps
which might lead TO disturbance of the peace.
