FplIacy Of Fish and Brain.

One popular fallacy i'll connection with
fish may be noticed, namely, the oft re-
peated assertion that t.le eating of that
particular food increases brain power.
No one who has studied the subject can
possibly believe the assertion. A man
might eat a huge portion Of fish every
day Of his life. and on the day of his
death, if the quantity of phosphorus (the
brain invigOrat0r) consumed were to be-
come visible, it would not amount to
more than might probably suffice to tip
a couple Of lucifer matches.
Communities have existed that lived
almost solely Gu fish, but these ichthy-
ophagists We're certainly not famous for
intellectual attachments. 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 cur tisherfolks are remarkable
for genius, or even what is called COM
mon sense, their views Of life and its re
sponsiOilities being shrouded in a haze of
superstition, which they lack sufficient
strength OF mind to see through.
No fishing community, SO far as is
known to the writer. has given to the
world Il great man. Men of mark
poets, preachers, lawyers, philosophers,
warriors and physicians have ema-
mated, in Scotland at any rate, from all
classes except the fishing class. -Temple

How Dogs Are Stolen in Paris.

Dog s~tealer5 III Paris have two prin-
cipal means of getting hold of the ami
NAL they want. First of all they find
out the dogs habits, the liberty he is al
lowed, the hours that lie takes an airing
either alone or with Il servant, and make
their arrangements accordingly. They
sometimes proWl around a house for a
week before obtaining all the informa-
ton they need. When they learn where
they can meet the animal, they attract
him by some sort Of bait, or make him
follow a bitch, which they lead with a
string.
In a narrow street it is easy to]approach
the dog and pat him. If he is not very
savage, the offer Of something to eat rem
ders him confiding; the thief, who has a
slipnoOse ready, passes it around the
dogs neck, and the game is bagged. On
the boulevards and in the public parks,
where dogs usually follow their masters
or mistresses without being held by a
cord, the thieves always use a second
animal, and as soon as the dog comes
near enough to the decOy brute the lasso
is thrown and the gallant captured.-

Used to l;cing Married That Way.

A wedding ceremony occurred some
years ago Of q then United States sena-
tor, who, a Widower twice over, had fol
the third time succumbed to Cupid's
Wiles. At his first and second marriage
the ceremony had been performed by an
Episcopal clergyman, and hence the SEN
ator was quite familiar with the EpiscO-
pal marriage form.
But the beautiful woman who had
captured his affections the third time
was a devEut Presbyterian, and naturally
wished the cOnnubial knot to be tied by
a minister of her own church, and &C,
cording to its simple service. TO this
the statesman lover made no objection.
The character Of the service was Of
small account to him so long as it served
to unite him to the object of his adora-
ton, and the thought that he might
blunder in the course of it never dis
turbed for q moment the serenity of his
mind.
But, standing beside his bride to be,
stage fright, as it might be called, seized
him. In the excitement he began to
marry himself, as it were, by the Episco-
pdl SERVICE, repeating SIlDIy: l., -,
take thee, -, to be my welded wife,"
and he would probably have gone on to
the end if the astonished Presbyterian
minister, who Immediately appreciated
the situation, had not interposed, and,
interrupting the bridegroom, performed
the ceremony with the brevity of the
Presbyterian form.
At the point where the perturbed
groom seemed bent on doing the business
for himself Il distinguished brother SEN
ator present drew near to a lady, an
other guest, a close friend of his own
and of the bridal pair, and whispered in
a plying tone:
Poor -. He's used to being mar
ried by the other service.

Charley jenkins was an engineer on
the Baltimore arl Ohio for many years,
and he had MANI i3irbrea1th escapes.
His run was between Garrett, Ind, and
Chicago Junction. o., and nearly every
body ah.ng the route came to know him
personally. His friends could tell his
engine every time by the peculiar ~"toot,"
and whenever the engine was in sight
there would be Il wave of the hand as a
recognition of friendship. His engine,
the 720, was the best on the division, and
if a fast run was to be made jenkins and
the 720 were sure to be on the call board
for it.
One day the old engineer was taken
Ill, and for weeks he fingered on his bed,
when it seemed that only Il thread held
him on to life. He was sadly missed
along the route, and the peculiar "toot"
of the whistle was heard no more, for,
although old 720 was kept running, there
were other hands at the throttle.
The crisis Of his illness came. The
family surrounded the bed and watched
with breathless eagerness for any sign Of
a change.

i've. Nothing could be hard save the
regular, heavy breathing OF the sick en-
gineer.
Suddenly he arose on his elbow. He
stared wildly around, and his eyes looked
like a madman's. Then he sat up in bed,
clutched IN imaginary sheet of paper,
and gasped:
''Tifin; train five; engine SEVENTEEN
ty; prepare to meet thy God"
He sank back exhausted and fell into
a quiet, easy sleep. When he awoke he
was on a fair way to recovery, but by
that time the news had reached the place
that a terrible accident had happened;
that No. 5 had collidel with a freight;
that engine go vas a wreck, and that
the engineer and fireman were dead.

HOW THEY VOTE IN JAPAN.

PolIs That Present "a Striking Contrast
to Ours in Tbs C"nntry.
The polls had opened at 8 o'clock, and
one by one the FARMERS had come strag-
Cling in from the surrounding country.
The greater number gathered in the
small meeting hall just outside the poll
ing room. whence arose a quiet buZzing.
1t was a remindcro Of the gathering in the
churchyard or Sunday. in old times, be-
tween the morning and the afternoon
services.
There was little laughter, less loud
argument and no angry disputing. Ev-
cry now and then, like bees leaving a
hive, a figure vas seen to separate from
the rest and move of toward the polling
room, and anon another returned. One
saw among them here and there the
modern japanese, with his imitation of
foreign garments, in appearance seldom
elegant, often awkward, and generally
out Of harmony with the surroundings.
But chiefly there I'M the old fash
toned rustic, in his best silk robes, with
square shaven crown and short queue
caught up and tied-perhaps wearing
the hakalna, or divided skirt, Of the old
samurai. A gentleman in every act. he
bows as he enters 10 the official at the
door, carefully writes his ballot and
affixes his seal. then with great delibera,
ton folds it and places it in the oblong
official envelope. For some Of the voters
it is necessary to seek the assistance of a
special clerk in writing their ballots. It
is not that they cannot write; for every
body knows the plebeian kama or sylla-
bic writing. They prefer to see thei1
ballots inscribed with the more elegant
Chinese characters; and then, too, the
kama is sometimes ambiguous (fOr some
words have a dozen different meanings),
and there is a natural perturbation and
a desire to have their meaning clearly
and correctly conveyed. When the
writing is finished the long sleeved voter
walks over to the tachiainin, or inspec-
tors. Here further effusions of polite
ness take place, while the voter gives
his name, number and address, and is
checked off on the register. Then, with
another gesture Of courtesy, he turns to
the ballot box, and with a bow, perhaps
in duplicate, to the kind old mayor, who
sits behind the box, he carefully deposits
his ballot and quietly retires by another
door,. II. WigmOre in S~cribner's.

Wasting His Breath.

Out at the ball grounds a small boy
who occupied Il pew in the bleachers said
8 funny thing. One of the Albany play
ers was at the bat. AMI after a couple of
balls and a strike had been called on
him he hit a long foul to right field. He
at once started for first base, and with
head down plunged along in the same
way that a steer is supposed to run
through the corn. The small boy over
in the bleachers watched him for a min
ute and then yelled out at the top of a
very shrill and squeaky voice: "Say,
Gully, come back. You're working over
time. Rochester Democrat.

Scotland, but the rich Americans over
ran the country and gobbled up every
available estate. Then we tried Brigh-
ton; but, bless you, the hotel people

They next drove us out Of every fashion

have no longer the exclusive social sway

at used to be that the Swiss and Ger
man watering place hotels were III
chiefly in the interests Of the English

his own way. There are now more

and the German spas than Englishmen.

and further extended the seams. Then,
too, the quarry is too little developed
to show the face of the rock. The work
that has been done is merely a surface
exposure.
AS to the probable extent of the
ledge everything points to an mex
haustible supply. Down and up the
hill, one hundred feet on either side,
you can, with hoe, uncover the rock,
and around the sides of the hill for
thousand feet or more the same discov-
cries have been made. The rock lies
beneath light covering of soil, over
which is scattered rough and broken
boulders of basalt. 1t is highly prob
able that the entire hill is composed of
the magnesia rock, ma king mountain
of precious material as valuable as any
quartz mine in the world. The first
work will lie to skim the surface of the
soil and loose boulders, and expose q
perpendicular face. No stone in the
world can be more easily quarried. On
either side the hill slopes away into q
sharp ravine, making natural dump
for the dirt and refuse of the quarry.
The rock, when quarried, will prob
ably be brought Dy tramway to the
river and shipped thence to this place.
The company is co opposed of live, ener-
getic men, several of whom are practi-
cal stone men and builders and con-
tractors. There is demand created on
the market already for the material
and the work of development will be
rapid and profitable. Since first placed
on the market, the stock has risen rap
idly in price, and owing to the excel
lent prospect for the future none can
be had now at any price. The industry,
properly and successfully developed
will add greatly to the prosperity OF
Lewiston.
Magnesia stone Is widely known
among builders and contractors as one
of the cheapest and most durable Of
building materials. Stone from the
Kansas quarry is used everywhere ovel
the Mississippi valley states, and it i.
in great demand for public buildings
The state house in Kansas and many
court houses over that state are mad,
of magnesia stone. Quarries Of tn
, valuable material are very rare. Their
is one of some note in Europe, and tn
new houses Of parliament in England
!, are made of this material. Once on tn
market, it will, in great measure
supersede all other building stone. l
i, is more easily worked, owing to tn
fact that it can be sawed and cut easil
into any shape desirable. 1t is abse
! lutely fire proof as the tests describe
above testify. 1t Is lighter than brick

}, building makes q more beautift

market. The stockholders have levied
an assessment for developing purposes
and j. A. Mcclure, of Spokane, has
arrived here with all machinery neces-
sary for opening the quarry. Active
operations have already begun and the
development will be rapid. The stone
will be brought to this point for ship
ment and plant erected here in all
probability, for preparing the dressed
stone for ornamental designs and fin
ishing purposes. The stone is easily
worked. When taken from the quarry
it is so soft that it can be cut or sawed
with the greatest ease. 1t can be
dressed and placed in the wall more
cheaply than any other building stone
yet discovered in this section. 1t is
light in weight; it is durable. Under
pressure or fire test it is proven to be
superior to the best brick Fire has no
effect on it whatever. A small piece,
now on exhibition at the Mining Ex-
change, Spokane, bears this inscrip-
ton, signed by c. M. Bassett, assayer:
"This sample of stone has been sub
jected to a red hot heat in my furnace
and plunged into water. Its condition
speaks for ITSELF" The only effect this
treatment had on the stone was to
change the color from white to brown
In the building, under the influence of
the weather, the stone presents beau
tiful white appearance, aud experience
here and elsewhere proves it to be as
durable as it is beautiful and attractive.
The ledge has been known to many
citizens of the neighborhood for years
but it was left for outsiders to discover
its intrinsic value and make known its
worth and merits. The ledge is located
on dry gulch, leading off the main
Asotin creek. The Hill comes down t.
the gulch in a point or ridge and il
appearance is not greatly difteren
from the thousand and one others tina
lie about it, but strange to say careful
prospecting fails to discover the rock il
any of the others. 1t has been fOunt
at various points on the Idaho side
but in quantities so broken as to hinde
quarrying. Up along the back bone @
the ridge, at an elevation of about on
hundred feet above the level of tn
gulch, is the opening of the quarry
Here, for years, the farmers have bee
