the sewers Of large cities into the rivers and

pecially exposed to loss. The nitrogen. how

less OF fats and more Of protein than meats and
vegetable foods. BY fish culture. then, it is
possible to supply the very materials which are
lacking in our dietaries, and from the waste
products may be saved valuable fertilizing ele-
ments, including phosphorus and especially
nitrogen.
As population becomes denser the capacity Of
the soil to support food for man gradually
nears its limit Fish gather materials that
would otherwise be inaccessible and lost and
store them in the very forms that are most de-
fcient in the produce of the soil Thus. by
proper culture and use of fish, the rivers and
sea are made to fulfill their office with the land
In supplying nutriment for man.

sacrifice almost as hard as mine to make. Will
you give my girl willingly to your son as his
wife il both desire it after she has worked az
you wished, for two years at SCHOOL," Mrs.
Pierce was utterly unprepared for this. and her
! every thought and instinct rebelled against this
sacrifice OF her son. as she felt it to be. But
the voice pleading with her grew fainter, the
| face winter and the brave, sad eyes besought
her, till at last she consented.

| the dying man. Now, please send Kathie to
me-"
As the door opened to admit the woman he
loved Fred for the first time realized what
death meant He felt that he could not give
her up. Why must this other man, already
rich in all that makes life fair and sweet gain
also the love Of the girl whom he had yielded
even his life to save? 1t was hard bitterly hard

hand lay in his he had conquered even the Bit

he told her all his heart, then begged her to

Now, Kathie, said Fred ''kiss me once"

degradation and dirt. She, however. was
thoroughly in sympathy with the excitement,
and at the close OF the meeting dropped ON her
knees on the front of the stage, and offered a
simple prayer OF thanksgiving that brought
tears to all eyes.
When the meeting was over Mrs. Pierce
climbed the steps leading to the stage accom-
panied by her son and her pastor. and Graham
was once more beeide the girl who had so
strangely interested him. Kate Brown, for
such her name proved to be, was soon telling
the sympathetic woman beside her something
of her life.

Not any more so than life is q fail.
ure, but with frequent recurrence arise
the instances which add new stock to
the arguments of those who take the
affirmative side of the question. To
the woman who occupied the female
quarters of the lookup Monday night,
sleeping in a cell hammock and wrap,
ping herself in an old American flag
which was kept 10 the room, marriage
was a blank and total failure. She
had been hunting for work without
success aud applied as a last resort for
a place to sleep at the lookup. She
was not locked up but was given the
room mentioned, provided for such
cases, and slept in the hammock in the
cell.
The woman, who is about twenty.
eight years of age, and whose hands
presented the appearance of having
been used to hard work, told her story
to the Mayor and Chief of Police this
morning. She was the wife, she said,
of Adam Ruth, and was married to
him five years ago. Readers Of the
Blizzard will readily recall some of
the work of Ruth. 1t was he, who
under the guise of a detective, search
ed the little house of Jacob Adamo,
up Halyday Run, a couple of years
ago, aud then robbed the old mau of
what change he could find, brutally
pounded and kicked him and left him
for dead. The fact will also be recall
ed hat he was subsequently, captured,
convicted aud sentenced to ten years
in the ~Penite0tiary, which was not his
first experience 10 that line.
The young womsn he married was
working at Shippenville, she said this
morning, and making good wages when
she made the mistake Of marrying
Ruth. Since then. according to her
story, she has had a hard row to hoe.
She stated that she had been working
in various places in this section aud
was last employed at Franklin. She
had learned through a letter from her
brother.in-law she said, that Ruth
died in the ~Penitentiary several
months ago. She was provided with
breakfast aud resumed her search for
work.

NEWSY NOTES.

VIM. Gable, of Reading, ate peanuts all
through a game of ball, getting away with
a large quantity. On his road home he
stumbled and fell heavily to the ground.
The shock of the fall brought some of the
contents into his throat, and some of the
undigested peanuts entered his w~indpipe,
shutting off his breath 50 eflectually that
he died after terrible struggles, in a few
minutes.
A rural exchange thinks there is some
thing wrong with the eternal fitness of
things when a minister gets S. and a fine
supper for performing a marriage cere-
mony which only takes five minutes,
while the editor who takes two hours to
set up the list of presents only gets a piece
of cake" That seems to be a case, says
the Tilusville Herald, where the preacher
takes the money and the printer takes the
cake.
Charles Larrabee appears to be in trouble
