1t is well known that by arrangement
among the salmon packers on the Pa
cific coast the catch of salmon has been
restricted to the requirements of the
market under existing conditions. Bet
ter facilities for preserving the fish are
now being realized, with the result that
this delicious food fish is likely to find a
much larger distribution in fresh state
than ever before. Late dispatches from
Victoria, B. c., announce that cold
storage system has lately been COM
pleted by San Francisco parties for the
Cunningham cannery on the Skeena
river.
Into these refrigerators the fish are
placed as soon as taken from the water
and subjected to a temperature or 90
degs. below zero. Here they remain six
or seven hours, and are then removed to
another room with zero temperature,
where they are held some two weeks.
and then hermetically sealed in cases for
shipment. The general introduction Of
cold warehouses adjacent to the fishing
grounds is destined to effect notable
change in the salmon industry, enabling
Gamers and others TO utilize the heaviest
runs, instead of being restricted in their
catch to the number they are able to use
up from day to day. The fish may now
be caught in larger quantity and stored
in cold rooms for future treatment IN
the intervals between large runs

A Useless Animal.

A Detroit man who takes great delight
in his possession of a horse that can &c
in $3.50 was hailed by friend the other
afternoon while he was rapidly driving
along Jefferson avenue.
81 can't stop" he sung out; "I've got
to catch that 1850 train"
About half an hour later the friend
met him again.
"Hello," he exclaimed, ~ thought you
were going away on that $3.50 trainT
81 was, but missed it,"
The friend became grave.
"Why don't YOU sell that horse?" he
inquired.
"What do / want to sell him fory
asked the owner Indignantly.

"Come offl What do you means"

A REPORTERS REVENGE.
1t was a Complimentary Paragraph. but
1t Got in Its Deadly Work.


1t wa. Complimentary E.rae eraph. but
1t Got in Its Deadly Work.
There is a man in this city who, like
the original Hamlet was reputed to be,
is fat and scant of breath, but, unlike
tie melancholy Dane, he is also exceed
ingly vain and pompous. He occupies
position OF some little prominence, and
solely ON that account newspaper men
resort to him for views and information.
Laboring under the delusion that he
really possesses profound knowledge
of public questions, and that on that
account his utterances are occasionally
quoted, he sometimes puts on airs and
adopts manner toward the interviewer
which is exceedingly disagreeable and
even positively insulting.
"I'm really tired of thinking for you
fellows" he remarked some time ago to
a reporter who had asked his opinion
concerning some proposed legislation. 81
wish you would do some thinking fol
yourselves and not come bothering me
with questions"
II am much obliged to you for the
hint" said the reporter, with some diff
Guilty checking an impulse to give free
vent to his feelings then and there. 81
will do little thinking for myself"
Then he went away and did some
thinking and Matched scheme of re
venge.
He wrote neat and highly eulogistic
little paragraph about the vain and
pompous individual, complimenting him
highly upon his courteous manners and
concluding with the statement that he
made it rule never to sit down when
riding on the "L" while there was a
woman in the same car unprovided with
a seat.
"Now let it work. Mischief, thou art
afoot," he remarked gleefully when he
had finished.
1t did work.
The little paragraph was extensively
copied in society weeklies, which al
ways keep sharp lookout for little per-
sonal squibs. The V. and P. individual
found himself suddenly possessed of a
reputation which he had done nothing
to deserve. But he had to live up to it.
He had always been in the habit of seiz-
ing the first seat he could catch on an
al" train and sticking to it no matter
how many women might be standing up
near him, while he devoured the con-
tents of his favorite morning OF after
noon newspaper. He could do that no
longer.
AS he lives up in Harlem and his Office
is away down town, and he is besides
fat and scant Of breath, as have before
remarked, the physical discomfort which
ne endures daily can be better imagined
than described And he hasn't even the
approval of his own conscience to make
it easier for him, for he knows that he
doesn't do it from any desire to save
women the inconvenience of standing in
the cars, but merely because he is afraid
that if he doesn't do it some people will
think that he doesn't deserve the reputa-
ton with which he has been publicly
credited.
And whenever that reporter sees the
V. and P. individual hanging on to a
strap in an 81" car and looking su-
premely miserable he just hugs himself
for joy Perhaps he ought to be sorry
for having written what wasn't strictly
truthful about him, but he isn't bit.

Comfortably Wrecked.

It is q lamentable fact that constant
repetition tends to strengthen belief in
story until it grows into sort of ira
dition that no one dares or cares to dis
pute. Such was the case with the tale
of Joel Goodhopes wrecking. Fer
years he had spun his yarn before the
fire in the little shoemaker's shop, and
the village youth had listened with
eyes extended, thrilling at the thought
of the torn sails, the uncertain drifting
and the final striking of the vessel upon
the shore.
To Joels credit it may be said that
his account never varied, not even in
the appalling infection of his tones.
A stranger came into the village, and
one dreadful evening, never to be for
gotten by Joel, sat with the others be-
fore the cobbler's cheering blaze. They
were listening once more to Joel's mar
rative.
"Had ye been long outen provis.ons?'
inquired the stranger.
"Well, no." replied Joel; 1--WE had
food enough"
"You was a-coming to Squam, any
way, wasn't yer?"
Eyes, we were coming to Squam,'
said the unsuspecting Joel.
"She landed putty near where the
cap'n wanted her?' persisted the stran-
ger.
swell, yes, bout ten foot from the
wharf, said Joel, growing a little net
tied.
"You say you run along the bowsprit
and jumped off. Did yer git wet any,"
"No; / landed in sand heap-hap-
pened to-"
"Well," pursued the seeker after in
formation, "you live putty nigh right
on the beach; you couldn't got very wet
running homer
Joel was obliged to acknowledge to
the dry state.
"Well," said the stranger after long
pause, II call that tolerable comft-
able wreckin."
A silence fell on the listeners, and
Joel went out and shut the door quietly,
feeling that somehow he had been
robbed. Youths Companion.

A New York pharmacist has a
novel flytrap in his store window.
It is run by a little electric motor
and gathers in the flies with great
celerity and absolute certainty. A
piece of strong brown paper, about
four inches wide and fifteen inches
long, is fastened in a continuous band
around two rollers, which are kept
revolving at slow rate by the motor.
The band is slightly smeared with a
sweet substance. Two-thirds of the
length of the band is freely exposed,
but at the other roller it runs under
wire cone and then against a
brush. The flies alight on the slowly
moving band, and unsuspectingly
remain there slipping the sweets un-
til brushed off, when they fly up into
the cone, from which they can find

several strange Dreams.

A farmers wife dreamed that she was
walking near the house Of rejected
lover--one O'Flanagan-attended by a
beautiful hound, of which she was fond,
when a raven dashed at him, killed him,
and tearing out his heart flew away
with it. She next imagined that she
was running home, and met funeral,
and from the coffin blood flowed upon
the ground. The bearers placed II at
her feet, opened the lid and exhibited
her husband, murdered and his heart
torn out. She awoke, as might be ex-
pected, in great terror. But here fol-
lows the most mcomprehensible part of
the narrative. Her husband entertained
an idiot cousin in the house, and he in
doggeral rhyme repeated the very same
dream TO n gossip 10 whom the farm
er's wife had related hers.
That very night the farmer was MUIR

"My dear" called out Mrs. Forrthly
from the head Of the stairway, "what
time does the train leaveY'
Great drops Of perspiration broke out
on the Rev. DIR. Fourthly's brow. His
wife had just gone up stairs to dress.
The train was due in two hours, and her
customary time was two hours. If he
told her 81 o'clock" they would miss
the train. The case was desperate. She
must not know the exact hour. And
yet he could not tell o lie. He was i.

That depends upon the
Liver. If the Liver is
inactive the whole sys-
tenn is out of order-the
breath is bad, digestion
poor, head dull or aching,
energy and hopefulness
gone, the spirit is de-
pressed, heavy weight
exists after eating, with
general dependency and
the blues. The Liver is
the housekeeper of the
health; and a harmless,
simple remedy that acts
like Nature, does not
constipate afterwards or
require constant taking,
does not interfere with
business or pleasure dur
ing its use, makes Sim
mons Liver Regulator a
medical perfection.
I have tested its virtues personally, and
know that for Dyspepsia, Biliousness and
Throbbing Headache, it is tho best medi-

than temporary relief, but the Regulator
