Reasoning stranded Fishes.

In reply to letter of complaint pub
hshed in Forest and Stream the United
States fish commissioners give an ex-
PLANTATION of their apparent neglect of
the fish in the upper Mississippi The
complainant says in his letter that while
ON the river between Dubuque and st.
Louis he saw tons of black bass aud
great northern pike rotting in shallow
pools. wherein they had been left by the
falling of the river, and asks why the
fish commission does not scoop them up
and transport them to safer waters.
In 1888, say the commissioners, two
cars of the commission were lent to the
Illinois commissioners, together with the
necessary number Of men, for the pur
pose of rescuing the fish left in the pools
along the river From July Is to Oct. 5
twenty-six car loads of fish were rescued
and transported to Illinois waters. In
1889 two cars were used, and in 1890
three. The fish deposited were from
to IA inches long
Since then the government has been
actively engaged in the work on large
scale, and has rescued many millions of
valuable food fishes The commission
ers say that all states subject to any con
siderable mortality of fish life should
take steps Immediately to rescue the fish

a couple OF the eggs in his pocket and told
the pleasant faced waiter girl to have tSem

and the bachelor boartler declared that no

egg, The handsome waiter girl said she
sorry that the cook hadn't done as she had

two other eggs boiled soft, but the bosrder

Tuesday there was case before Judge
Freeman in the probate court of pecu-
liar kind. Some weeks ago Mrs. Ellen
O'Neil died intestate. At about the
same time her new born child also died.
The question to be decided was whether
the mother or the child died first. If the
mother died first the child would have
inherited her estate. and at the child's
death its father would be it's heir. If,
on the other hand. the child died first,
one-half of the estate would go to the
brothers and sisters of Mrs. O'Neil, and
the other to her husband. Judge Free
man gave his decision, which is that the
mother died first. In accordance with
this the estate goes to the father.-Hart-
ford Courant.

One of the assessors relates an odd ex-
perience in Bucktown, near lndianapo-
lis. He called at the house of an old
woman, whose furniture was valued at
fifty cents Under the law he had to
place the value at one dollar, which
would make her tax fraction over a

house he discovered that the old woman
was the happy owner of six dogs, on

by them Il the only thing the school re-
lies upon for its patronage. The college
has no endowment or UNCONVENTIONAL
bias 10 assist it, but succeeds because Of
its merit and merit alone.
The thorough, symmetrical and pro-

cation.
THE CAREFUL MANAGEMENT
OF this institution has attracted TO it
