for three members Of town council was
the quietest known here for years The
fact is the affairs Of council have been 50
ably managed of late years and the spirit
OF local government so progressive, that
there has been no desire among the voters
to make any raiical change in tile persons
mel Of council. The members whose terms
expired yesterday were Samuel j. Wright
Of the Eastern, district, Wilbur T. Wilson
Of the Middle district, and Samuel NJ, Don
nell Of the Western district. The only
member retur4ed was Mr.. Donnell. In
place of Mr.. Wilson +. b. Frazer was
elected, and George w Williams was
elected to succeed Mr.. Wright. Mr. vii.
son was urged to accept re- election but
declined because he was to be employed
under pay By council as town surveyor,

sALMoN HAVE HOMES.

1t Is Now known That Every Fish Knows
Its Own River and Particular Pool.
In their journey up the streams the
first run of fish push on rapidly to the
upper pools and head waters, one hun
bred miles or more, unless prevented
by insurmountable falls, with which
most of the Labrador streams are well
provided. Here fish have been caught
sixty miles above the estuary before
one has been taken in tidal water.
Some of the former remain in the lower
pools and are joined by others as the
run progresses
Why is this? Have the fish any re-
membrance of where they spent their
youthful days, and remain there while
others pass them?
1t is now received as an undoubted
fact that every fish knows it's own
river, but go further than that, and
think every fish has a particular place
in the river where it wishes to remain,
says the American Angler. Were all
the salmon in the Restigouche to push
on to its head waters, would not the
greater portion of the river be barren?
The turmoil OF spawning time on the
restricted spawn beds, the turning over
Of the newly'laid ova, could only end in
wholesale destruction. Even under
present conditions | am satisfied not
over ten per cent. of the eggs deposited
naturally ever come to life.
AS to the speed with which they
travel at times have caught two sal
mon with partly-digested caplin in
them quite recognizable, and these fish
were caught sixty miles above where
the caplin is known to come.

Not Much Chance for Training In the
Modern Ships.
The anonymous author of Life in
the Royal Navy" which has just been
printed in London, points out that ''the
keen competition between ship and
ship in our squadron did much to re-
lieve sea life of its ennui During the
day we were busy making preparations
for any evolution that the admiral
might signal to be carried out in the
evening, so that when it came the work
was performed with much zest by all
hands. The tremendous desire to be
first was such as to lead to hazardous
running in and out and climbing on the
mast and yards. This splendid training
to keep men fit is now lost to us with
the large abolition of masts and yards,
and nothing of equal Importance has
been established to compensate for it.
Something has been done in the way of
physical drill and gymnastics, but there
is much room for improvement in the
same direction. The men should, in
my opinion, be granted greater facili-
ties for taking part in those exercises
on shore that are at present doing so
much for the youth Of the country"

Three o'clock came, but no signs of

off his belt and buclxled himself fast to

At seven o'clock the sun went behind

Unloosening his belt, Mr. Requa de-

cramped that he could hardly walk.

coat thoroughly chewed. He reached
the camp at daybreak. Two of the
boys were out on horseback hunting
for him. -Youth'S Companion.

Children Are Insuniciently Instructed In
Modern Schools.
Let us see what 'object lessons"
chiefly deal with. Last year, in nor
NAL school in the Empire state, a teacher
of primary methods, proudly claimed
by her principal to be the best in the
state, gave thimbles, scissors, chairs
etc, as suitable subjects for object-les-
sons, and carefully led her pupils
through the steps required to develop
in children's minds ideas of the parts
and the uses of these objects. Is there
one child in six hundred, at six years of
age, ignorant of these parts and uses?
Then the so-called development process
is farce and waste of time and en-
ergy. Look over manuals of object
lessons and courses of study for primary
children; you will usually find but few
subjects leading the child from the
beaten path of his daily life into new,
inviting and fruitful fields; and of these,
note the directions as to what is to be
taught Such directions often resem-

The most powerful microscopes
render visible point about 100000
part of an inch in diameter There is
reason for believing that single mole
cule is much smaller even than that.
One reason for tbs has been deduced
from the soap bubble. Scientists have
measured the thickness of the envelope
of soapy water inclosing the air of the
bubble when it had become so thin as
to produce rainbow tints. At the APP
pearance of the shade of violet it was
one-fourth the thickness of the length
of an ordinary violet wave of light, one
xty=thousandth of an inch, thus malS-
Ing the thickness equal to one-two-
hundred-and-forty -thousandth of an
inch. As the bubble continued to cx-
pand q black patch formed adjacent to
the pipe from which the bubble was be-
ing blown, and the thickness of such
patch has been found to be only one
fortieth of the thickness of the violet
section, or about one-ffty- millionth of

1t is customary in the town of Quito,
when a visitor takes OF his hat upon
entering room, to beg him to put it
on again; and, in the absence of per-
mission, leave is generally requested.
This, it is said, arises from apprehen-
sion that cold will be taken by remain
ing uncovered. The same persons upon
going out of doors take off their hats to
flashes of lightning, no matter whether
rain is falling; and, when the streets
are busy and lightning is abundant, a
grotesque effect is produced by these
salutations, which seem to be regarded
as a duty by well-behaved persons, and
are performed as punctiliously as the
homage which is paid to religious pro-
cessions when they are in sight.

queer oyster Boats.

Bug-eyes, the characteristic craft Ok
the Chesapeake, have crept down to the
North Carolina coast, where they are
used by oystermen. The bug-eye is a
long, narrow boat, sharpened at both
ends and marvelously swift and stanch.
Sometimes it is made like canoe, OF
tree trunks followed and clanped to-
gether side by side. Cambridge, Nd,
has formidable feet of bug-eyes en-
gagged in oyster catching, some of them
being large boats Capable of carrying a

that the stranger. on first seeing bug
eye, can scarcely believe that the masts
are set at their nroner ancle.

How working Girl Can Use Part of Hen
Ticket to Destruction.
When a working girl allows the
faithful performance of her work to
fall behind her devotion to dress she
has used the first coupon on her ticket
to destruction The hand of Providence
NAV interpose before the brakeman
calls the last station, but nothing short
of such Intervention can save. If you
must come to this big city to earn your
living seek first the mpanionship of
Christian people. By Christian people
I do not mean church members neces-
sarily, but all such as have lofty stand
ards and strive to live up to them.
Earnest, clean-hearted. pure-lived peo-
pie are the best Christian people and
make the best comrades. Never be
ashamed to stand for your principles.
If you have been brought up to say
your prayers before retiring do not be
turned from the practice by the laugh
ter of fools. Be as brave as the little
hero in "Tom. Browns Schooldays,"
who dared to stand by his colors in the
face Of swarm of tormenting boys.
Be courteous always; a gentlewoman
can always be detected under shabby
clothes, and lady through the stress
of ever so gruesome poverty by the
we'll bred affability of their manners.
The shop girl who cultivates a
languid and indifferent style of de-
pertinent would never be lady of the
right stamp although you hung every
hair of her head with diamonds and
