Devoured the Elephant and Rhinoceros.

Devoured the Elephant and Rhinoceros.
This pleasant storyis told of Thack-
cray by woman at whose house he
visited: After having told lot of
delightful stories, Mr.. Thackeray re-
marked that he must leave, he was so
terribly hungry. We told him that
we could give him a very good dinner.
There is nothing, my dears, you can
give me-" he answered with funny
sigh, ''for could only eat the chop of
a rhinoceros or a slice from an ele-
plant" eyes, Itan," exclaimed Dot,
the 3-year-old daughter of the house.
She disappeared into a big cupboard,
and soon emerged with look of tri-
umph on her fat little face, holding
in her hands a wooden rhinoceros and
an elephant from her toy Noah's ark.
Putting the two animals on a plate,
she handed them with great gravity
to Mr.. Thackeray. The great man
laughed and rubbed his hands with
glee, and then, taking the child in
his arms, kissed her, remarking: "Ah,
little rogue, you already know the
value of a kiss!" Then he asked for
a knife and fork, smacked his lips,
and pretended to devour the elephant
and rhinoceros.

Screw Machine.

G. M. Spencer, of Windsor, Conn i,
the inventor of the original screw
machine and the Spencer repeating
shotgun, has been at it again. This
time he has made a device that turns
out eight screws a minute, with slots
and threads cut all ready for packing.
One popularity of the machine is
that it requires little or no attention.
After the apparatus is started it will
go on making screws until the mate
rial gives out. Sometimes Mr.. Spen-
Ger starts it up and goes to Hartford.
He stays all day, and upon his return
at night the machine is still grinding
out screws.

Honey.

By the color of the honey and the
aroma therefrom, an experienced
bee-keepar can determine the source
from whence it came. Thus, it is
very easy to tell buckwheat honey by
its very dark look, and by it's strong
and pungent odor Honey dew
honey has the same dark look, but
lacks the odor or aroma. In fact,
there is little or no aroma about this
honey dew. For this reason nc bee
keeper need be deceived as to the
source of such odorless honey.

CaldWelI's Fright.

Our readers are familiar with the
story of the boy who came to his
father one day in great excitement
and declared that he had seen a
thousand dogs down the street He
reduced the number little by little,
until at length he said, rather shame
facedly: well, I saw our Jack and
another dog, any way" The follow
ing incident, from the History Of
Bedford" n. H., is of the same type:
John Burns, of Bedford, had at one
time very narrow escape from the
Indians, the man with him being
killed and scalped. One Of Burns
neighbors, by the name of Caldwell,
used frequently to tease him about
the occurrence, and question his
courage in the affair, and end by de-
claring what he would have done I'M
der such circumstances. One even
ing Caldwell was at his neighbours,
and Burns found his Boosting rather
hard to bear.
Il suppose you know just what
you'd do if you met an Indian that
wanted your scalp?" Burns inquired.
"Wal, l guess l do" was Caldwell's
confident reply, and he soon after
took his departure.
No sooner had he left the house
than Burns rugged himself up to look
as much like an Indian as possible,
and sailed forth after Caldwell. He
soon came near him, and without
making any other noise, broke some
dry twigs. Caldwell heard the sound
and gave one glance backward.
It was a clear, moonlit evening,
and Caldwell had no difficulty in see
ing the Indian. He sprang quickly
into the bushes, where he stood still.
Burns, too, stepped into the bushes.
After awhile Caldwell ventured out,
and looking fearfully around moved
forward. Burns followed him, break
ing more twigs. Caldwell again con-
cealed himself in the bushes, and his
pursuer did the same. Several times
this performance was repeated.
At length Caldwell could endure it
no longer, and leaping from the
bushe she ran forward at his topmost
speed. Burns uttered wild whoop
and pursued him. When Caldwell
came to the brook, which was spanned
by single plank, he was in such
haste that he could not stop for the
bridge but bounded through the
water.
He ran into the first house he came
to and gasped: "The woods are full of
Indians q thousand of 'em!
And they'll be here in minute!
Where's the gun? Where's the gum"
He was in a terrible fright.
While the owner of the house was
trying to find out what had really oc-
Cured, Burns appeared at the door,
laughing heartily. Il say, CALDWELL, :"
he said, Il thought you wouldn't run
for an Indian"
After that Caldwell never wanted
to talk about Indians; and no one
ever heard him again boast of what
he would do it the sayages attacked
him,

rshy but True.


Nothing could have come from the
Census Bureau more OPPORTUNITY than
the bulletin relative to the fisheries
of the great lakes. It required sixty
one quarto pages for Mr.. Porter to
tell what he knows about our lake
fisheries, and some of the facts re-
ported will probably prove surprising
to many readers. For instance, did
any of them know that in the ten
years ending with the census of 1890
there were 1000, 100000 pounds of
food fish, worth s25, 100000, taken
out of the great lakes? We trow
not. How many of them know that
$500 persons were regularly employed
in 1889 catching fish, and that 107
steamers and 1876 other craft were
used in the business? The money in
vested in fishing apparatus would
Overwhelm with establishment the
majority of the readers could they
gaze upon it in lump The nets
and traps were worth 1923, 919, and
the total capital invested was So, $780,
$50. The yield of the fisheries in
1889 was s2,615, 7S4 at first hands.
The rank of the five lakes, deter
mined by the value of their yield, is,
Erie, first; then Michigan, Huron
and St. Clair, Superior, and Ontario,
the actual increase in the value of
the fisheries of Lake Erie being
greater than that Of all the others
combined. The causes of increase of
the value of fisheries are increase of
population, the advent of emigrants
from fishing and maritime countries
of Europe, improved facilities Of cap
ture and transportation, and the
practice of artificial propagation.
The fisheries of Lake Ontario show a
very marked decline since 1880, chief
ly the result of legislation against
commercial fishing in those waters.
The most abundant and valuable
food fish found in the great lakes are
behring's, a species of white fish quite
distinct from the herrings of the
West.
In 1889, So, $50, Cpl pounds of these
were caught, valued at SIT, 061.
Lake trout show great increase,
64.62 per cent, since 1880, but the
white fish comes next to the herring
in abundance and popularity in the
market. This fish, however, has
suffered very considerable decrease,
$3.50 per cent, or 6, 1874 pounds,
since 1880, the most serious decline
being In Lake Michigan. Sturgeon
is also being diminished in the annual
yield, the falling off in ten years
having been nearly So per cent. from
the catch of $780, Sawdust from
mills that covers up the spawning
and feeding grounds has much to do
with the decrease of fish in certain
fisheries, and it has become necessary
to enforce the laws that require mills
to burn their sawdust and waste lum-
Der.
The use of nets with understood
meshes is also an evil that should be
corrected. AS the fisheries of the
great lakes are the most extensive
lake fisheries in the world, and repre-
sent very important industry, it is
Of greatest consequence that they be
wisely protected against the wasteful
and injurious methods of the ignorant
and vicious. Along the $500 miles
of shore line covered by these fisheries
there are doubtless many abuses that
might be remedied easily if the law
were enforced.

The Peach Basket.

The peach crop of the Michigan lake
shore fruit belt will require millions of
baskets this season, and the present
outlook is that the growers will be able
to purchase them at about half the
usual prices. Several Of the largest
manufacturers are at war, and the price
has already declined to SIS per thousand
for ''fifths," which to the deluded buy
ers of fruit means peck asker.

DEATH IN \ ZINE.

A distressing accident happened in the Old Dominion Copper Co.'s mine, on Tuesday last, resulting in the al- most instant death of Joseph Tucker. The deceasod had been working in the large stope on the End level, and had returned after shooting, the smoke having cleared away Chauncy Gum, shift boss on Che upper levels, was Nith Tucker and orly three or four feet distant when the accident oe- cured.
 Although Tucker had warned his partner, Walter Shanley, of the dan ger, he braved it himself, and when in the act of picking up "a staging plank, a large piece of rock, weighing about 500 pounds, fell from above md struck Tucker in the back bearing him head long down the sloping ground on which he stood, and his skull was fractured by the fall The tremeR- dous weight of lock cut open the back and ground the spinal column almost to puTp. The injury to the back O fracture of the skull were either of them sufficient to cause death The unfortunate man breathed for a few minutes, but never spoke or regained consclopsness after the accident
 Acting coroner Geo. c. Strong held an inquest on the body, at which the above facts were elicitod, and the jury rendered E verdict of accidental death. Dr. T. $. Collins examined the body and testified as to the nature of the wounds. Neither the company nor any of its employees are to blame for the accident The ground overhead had previously been supported aud ma,le safe bv s'ull which was re- moved lshot ou0 to make the blast more effective--loosen greater amount of rock.
 The funeral took place Wednesday afternoon from the family residence in west Globe, and was largely attended thY the miners and the friends and ac- quaintauces of the family. The Old Dominion Comp suspended work as a mark of respect for the deceased, and in order that his companiors might attend the funeral. Services at the house and grave were conducted by Rev L. H. Trimble, and never has 8 more affecting scene been witnessed on a similar occasion here. There Was scarcely a dry eye in the large assem- blaze. The deceased was an upright man, kindly in disposition and an af- fectionate husband and father Pro found sympathy is felt for the be rcaved widow and children, who have sustained ID irreparable loss.
