again. A citizen saw it, too, and screamed
at the officer:

Columbia River sa,mou.

The catch of salmon is still light, but
is improving slightly, which is consid-
cred very good indication that there
are plenty of fish outside The fish be-
ing caught are unusually fine, averaging
thirty-fve pounds in weight, and run
ming nearly all of the same size. Fish
ermen say that as soon as the water in
the river begins to fall the fish will COM
mence to pour in, and there is chance
that a heavy run may swell the pack to
at least somewhere near the usual pro-
portions.
Mr. James Hawthorn says he COM
menced fishing last year on May 10, and
this year he began on April 10, month
earlier. and now he has only eighty-five
cases more than he had at this time last
year. While the salmon are swarming

How to Preserve Fruit Trees.

Fruit growers are constantly annoyed
by the inroads of insects of one kind OF
other, which destroy the fruit and injure
the tree
Here is an excellent recipe for the pre-
vention of the insect scourge and the pres
eryation of the trees: One pound each
of suet, quickline, snuff and sulphur;
mix all well together and put them into
a vessel containing four gallons of soap
suds and wine. Let the mixture stand
for two or three days and then Gin Feb
ruary each Year, apply it to every part
of the trees with paint brush. This
not alone kills the insects eggs and pre-
vents their attacking the trees, but
causes the trees to look particularly
green during the ensuing summer.

Child and Caterpillar.

1t is pretty illustration of the eternal
feminine to see little Herzchen, two
years old, over a caterpillar. The child
when she sees the caterpillar on the
walk straightens back her skirts with
her two hands. moves backward quick
ly a couple of steps and screams at the
top of her voice. Nobody pays any at
tention to the scream, as it is recognized
as her peculiar way of announcing that
she has discovered ''yurm.'
Having uttered this scream, Herzchen
advances step, puts her hands on her
knees, and looks down earnestly at the
caterpillar. Then she screams again.
Then she bends over closer to the crawl
ing creature. Her eyes have perceived
beauty in it. She suddenly reaches
forward, picks it up, holds it on the
palm of one hand, and studies curiously
the row of bright blue spots down each
of its sides and the golden yellow streak
along its back.
Beyond all doubt these caterpillars,
when fully grown, are beautifully robed
creatures. Herzchen brings the worm
nearer and nearer to her eyes, till it al
most touches her face, gloating over it
with sort of curious fascination. Then
she lays it carefully down on the ground
looks at it an instant longer, utters an
other scream. piercing, bloodcurdling.

Ginseng i'm Commerce.

The trade in ginseng is revival of one
that formerly existed. In the autumn of
1716 Pere Joseph Francois Lafitan. Jesuit
father, who had arrived in the country in
1712, and was stationed at the Sault, above
Montreal, discovered the plant. He had
been in Quebec in 1715, and there saw a
letter of Pere Jartoux, who had seen GIN
seng in Tartary in 1709, and who gave a
description of it. Lafitan inquired about
it from the Indians, and examined the
country to find it.
At this time it was worth its weight in
gold at Pekin. A company was formed to
export it to China, Japan and Tartary.
The price at Quebec was from thirty to
forty sous or cents per pound. At first
any one was allowed to sell it, but as its
value increased the company exercised its
monopoly rights, and in 1T51 undertook to
exclude all others from the trade. AS the
demand increased the care with which it
was obtained and prepared was relaxed
1t was gathered out of season and imper-
fectly dried in stove ovens. Even in this
state it brought twenty-five livres per
pound.
value of 100000 livres was exported In
1754 the value of the export had fallen to
$1,000 hvres. A quantity sent to La Ro-
chelle remained unsold, but finally found
its way to China, where its inferior quality
gave the Canadian article bad reputa-
ton; the demand fell off and the export
ceased.-J. Jones Bell in Popular Science

Library for Omaha.

1t is gratifying to learn, that no matter
what may be done in regard to a contest
of Byron Reeds will, his bequest to
Omaha for public library and museum
will probably be promptly carried into
effect by mutual agreement of all par
ties interested. The gift is a generous
one and possesses features OF peculiar
value. The real estate alone is probably
not worth over $50, 900, but the collec-
tion of coins is rare and almost un-
matched in this country. Certainly there
are not more than two or three collec-
tions in the United States that are more
perfect or more valuable. Fifty thou
sand dollars would be a moderate valua-
ton to place ON this result of years of
careful selection and thousands of dol,

a cold Mime on a Roof.

Three thousand dollars for an old tin
roof would be a pretty steep price, but the
man who gets the battered roof from the
old Tabernacle church at Broad street and
South Penn square, which is now being
torn away, for that sum will be in great
luck. Some years ago thei paint was
scraped off the old roof and yielded S., 900
i'll fine gold. 1t is almost certain to yield
as much this time The gold comes from
the mint.
When gold is being coined consider
able quantity of it yolatilizes with the
smoke through the chimney, and as soon
as it strikes the air it falls. Much of it falls
on the roof of the mint, so much of it that
tho officials save even the water that falls
upon it during shower. All the drains
from the roof are connected with large vats
in the cellar of the mint. Before the water
finally gets to the sewer it is strained
through many blankets and s;eves which
retain the gold.
Notwithstanding all these precautions
the gold that is annually washed into the
Delaware from the mint is worth thou
sands of dollars. Every particle of dirt
swept up about the mint is carefully stored
away with the washings from the roof,
and once every year it is sold to the high
est bidder, as it cannot be used at the mint

Never ask a favor from stranger or an
acquaintance unless some business OF

they are true they will grant it. Friends
are often proved in adversely. 1t is a

The simplest way to discover if fish is
in good condition and fresh is by the
color of the gills and smell. Fresh, sound
fish have bright red gills and smell sweet.
Stale fish, which are yet sound, have dull
colored gills, but smell all right Un-
sound fish always smell bad. In sound
fish the eyes are prominent and the fms
erect or stiff; in unsound fish the eyes are
sunken and the fins hang and are fabby.
1t is always well to see that your fish is
perfectly fresh, for no food is so rich in
disease germs as unsound fish.
