II is believed that the Menhalen fishery
will be abandoned during the next five
wears. Only 1000 barrels have been taken
since last April The value of the season 5
catch will not pay for fuel in the majority
of cases. The most hopeful fishermen have
hauled up their vessels for the winter. This
is the most Improbable season in the ex-
perience of old fishermen.

One of the strange effects that div
ing has upon those who practice it is
the invariable bad temper felt while
working at the bottom; and as this
irritability passes away as soon as the
surface is reached again, it is only
reasonable to suppose that it is caused
by the unusual pressure of air inside
the dress affecting probably the
lungs, and through them the brain.
My experience has been that while
below one may fly into the most vio-
lent passion at the merest trife; for
instance, the life line held too tight
or too slack, too much air or too lit
tie, or some imaginary wrongdoing
on the part of the tender or the boys
above, will often cause the temper
to rise
l have sometimes become so angry
in similar way that 1 have given
the signal to pull up, with the ex-
press intention of knocking the heads
off the entire crew; but as the sur
face was neared and the weight of
air decreased, my feelings have grad
ually undergone change for the bet
ter, until by the time 1 reached the
ladder and had the face glass un-
screwed had forgotten for what I
came up.-H. P. Whitmarsh in Cen
tury.

But as There Is No Way of suppressina
Them They Must BE Endured.
The highly reprehensible Eabit Of
coming into the thoater after the
curtain is up and disturbing the en-
tire audience in getting properly
seated is growing in New York.
This is bad. The other and more
fragrant violation of individual rights
getting mp and hustling for the
doors before the curtain goes down
on the last tableau-is also growing.
This is worse.
There may be and very often are
sufficient reasons for some people
being late. / can't help but think,
however, if there were stringent
rules enforced prohibiting any one
going or being shown to seat while
the curtain is up there would be a
great falling off of this nightly nui-
sance The discretion of ushers,
properly exercised, is often COM
mendable, but a well known rule
enforced by the police, if necessary,
would work advantageously all
around, for those who come late
would know before hand that they

AS for the person who begins to
shuttle into his or her wraps during
the most telling lines of the piece
and noisily bolts for the exits in the
middle of the grand denouement,
nothing but a club seems adequate.
This because the annoyance is so
great and because there is no reason
abio excuse for it. l have seen men
and women who have the outward
appearance of gentlemen and ladies
get up thus and stampede as if there
were a fire, and have found them
loafng in the lobby until the lights
were turned out on them.
The desire to get out first is ap-
parently one of those curious freaks
Of human nature that impels men to
jump from the moving train and off
the ferryboat before it gets to the
dock, and women to run across tracks
in front of the horse cars-not be-
cause they are in any special hurry,
but merely to "get there, Eli"
The effect upon the great majority
of playgoers is to spoil their full APP
probation if not destroy their under
standing of the piece. This matter
is so palpably outside the bounds of
good sense and the most ordinary
exercise of the reasoning faculties
that a remedy is not to be readily
suggested. Nothing short of a Bow

there are some who can give them

Bob Montgomery, with Mr.. Sher-
wood and Mr.. Metcalf, left with six
bulTos on a prospecting trip in the
foothills around Death valley. They
are all old hands at roughing it, but
they agree the famous valley is well
named. In making the trip from
Furnace Creek to Cottonwood hot
wind came up, in which it was next
to impossible for them to get breath.
The animals began to give out, and
they were compelled to abandon
their packs and start on hunt for
water. What little they had left
they mixed with vinegar and oat-
meal, but the intense heat soured the
oatmeal and made the mixture so
hot that it would actually burn them
when they wet their swollen tongues
with it.
None had ever been on the ground
before, and it was only due to the in
telhgence of Montgomery's pet jack,
Sullivan, that they were saved from
suffering. if not death. Dragging
along up the valley, they were pass
ing the mouth of a canyon, when
suddenly old Sullivan gave tre-
mendous bray. Metcalf said, That's
water, boys" and started up the
canyon. Sure enough. he gave a
yell of joy. Water was found

Prices for Otter Skins.

The most valuable otter fur is that
of the darkest color. A rich, nearly
jet black fur with long silver hairs
scattered through is the most priced
of all, and such pelts bring the hunt
er from $3.50 to $3.50 The clear black
comes next in value, and the brown
is the cheapest of all and bring from
SIS to $780, These prices do not in
dicate the true value of the skins, for
the locality is long distance from
the railways, and it is very difficult
and expensive to get freight of any
kind from this out of the way beach
A skin that the hunter sells for $3.50
more than doubles in value by the
time it goes through several hands
and reaches good market.-Cor.

The Black Death in England.

In England the black death made
it's first appearance in Dorsetshire,
and quickly spreading over the west
it reached London by way of Oxford,
leaving death and desolation behind
it everywhere. 1t was as fatal in the
country as in the town. Whole vii
lagos were depopulated and small
towns almost wiped out of existence.
The dead lay unburied as they had
died, for priests had been swept
away with their fiocks, and in many
parishes there was no one left to eel
citrate mass, while every trade and
craft was suspended in the universal
terror and suspense.
To add to the honor of the times,
bands of marauders roamed about
mmolested, robbing alike the dead
and the living, and dogs, deprived of
their masters by death, came to-
gether in packs, made ferocious by
hunger, and secured the country like
so many bands of wolves. All the
