Bobby in Literature.

From the Illustrated Legion News.
An eX-policeman, who has taken to litera-
ture, applied to a magistrate the other day
for a protection order against his WIFE who
''interferes with and discourages his liter
airy labors." The magistrate very properly
declined to interfere. No doubt the man
wanted to write detective stories, with
which, in consequence OF the success of Mr.
Sherlock Holmes, we are just now inundat-

GOLDFISH FROM THE PACIFIC.

Rapid Growth of an Industry Which
May Soon Rival the Eastern Product.
From the New York Herald.
Codfshing In Pacific waters has not until
within the last two or three years assumed
the proportions Of a great business enter
prise. Since it began, however, 1t has
grown so rapidly that it seems likely soon
to become formidable rival to the fishing
and packing industry of the Atlantic
coast. Indeed, salt Goldfish from California
is already in competition with the eastern
product in st. Louis, Chicago and other
great cities of the middle west. and its
progress Is steadily toward the Atlantic.
The Pacific coast fisheries extend from
the Okhotsk sea, on the shores of Kam-
schatka, 10 the Shumagin Islands, off the
line of Alaska. The supply of goldfish in
these waters is practically inexhaustible.
They can be caught wherever Soundings
can be made, and the fleets engaged in the
business are invariably successful in their
work.
At Pescada, ten miles from San Francis
co, an extensive curing establishment has
been located and is doing an enormous bust
ness. 1t is fitted up with the most approved
appliances for preparing the fish for market
and is operated in connection with a fleet
or six Seagoing vessels which cruise and
fish along the coast of Alaska. These ves-
sells go out about the beginning of April
and return in October, sending their
CatcneS IN tne meantime TO san Fran
cisco by ship specially devoted to that
part of the work.
Experts prefer the Pacific Goldfish to its
Atlantic kindred. They say it is finer
firmer and possessed of better flavor than
the fish from the Grand Banks. Neverthe-
less there is. even in San Francisco, a
strong feeling in favor of the New Eng
land Goldfish OF the two thousand grocery
stores in that city not more than a dozen
sell the Pacific Goldfish, and efforts to in
troduce it into general use have made little
Roadway. The fish packers declare that 1t
Is only the narrowest sort of prejudice that
prevents the native product from crowding
the eastern article out of the market. They
insist that it is better, more nutritious and
in every way superior.
The Pacihc Goldfish is, nevertheless trav-
cling eastward. Three or four carloads are
shipped every week to st. Louis, Chicago
and st. Paul, where 1t finds a ready sale at
profitable prices. The shippers even de-
clare that they send quantities right into
Gloucester and other packing points in
New England, where it is repacked marked
with new labels and sent west again to be
sold as first choice sachusetts Goldfish"
1t may be, however, that this latter state
ment is only a sample California fish story

Eggs Are High.


Like all other products of the
past year, eggs are scarce and there
fore can only be bought at a high
price. During the early part of the
fall the price ranged from seventeen
cents to twenty-one cents, and
gradually rose until now they are
thirty cents per dozen. 1t Is
with difficulty the merchants can
buy eggs from the farmers, as they
only have enough for their own use.
The farmers say that they could not
afford to feed their hens on corn,
nor give them other kinds Of food
which tended to increase the pro.
duet of eggs. The cold weather
coming on SO soon was the greatest
barrier in the way of the egg
market, and the farmers preferred
to kill the hens rather than keep
them all winter in ldleness and
suffering.

English as She is SUNG

A religious reporter in London
thought to try his hand on hymn
as sung by the choir. He got this:
Waw kaw swaw daw aw raw
Thaw saw thaw law aw raw
Waw kaw taw thaw raw yaw vaw braw,.

On referring to the hymn book,
he discovered that the words sup.
posed to be sung were:

That saw the Loti arise.
Welcome TO this revyng breast,
And these rejoicing eyes!
E5eAdHge.
That "waw kaw" kind Of singing
can be still heard in Mineral Point
at times. There was a fad years
ago among singers that distinct
articulation interfered with the
melody of the performance, and
some singers are still unaware that
that foolishness is a thing of the
past among thoroughly educated
people, especially in the matter Of
sacred music. In the cities where
first class choirs are paid big money
for their services, no one hears any
Of the "waw kaw" nonsense.

SUDDEN SUMMONS.
Without Warning the Seal of Death
is Placed Upon Mr.. John F. Grace.

1t occurred about 10 o'clock last
Satur day night, but the awful shock
did not reach the people of our
city in general until Sunday
morning. Throughout all of
Saturday Mr.. Grace attended to
affairs at his home and office in his
customary quiet and genial manner,
apparently III full possession of
good health. Upon getting his
mail Saturday evening about .
O'Clock he went home, and after a
brief and pleasant chat with his
wife both retired. They had not
been in bed many minutes before
Mrs Grace noticed that her husband
was breathing in a strange ana
labored manner, and upon endeavor.
ing to ascertain what was the
trouble, recognized the appearance
of death. She Immediately went
for a neighbor, and physicians were
summoned, and they pronounced
life extinct.
Mr.. Grace was quite Il young
man, being only SO years of age,
and apparently in the best of health.
He was born in Highland, this
county, and served that place faith
fully in various places of honor
and trust, and as a school teacher.
Twas there he studied and prac-
tieed law, until 1889, when he
located in this city. BY his studious,
energetic business habits he built
up lucrative practice, aud one
that was constantly increasing,
while his ever pleasant manner
G altered around him many warm
friends. How sad is the suddea
ending of such an industrious and
meritorious life in its very prime.
The citizens of Mineral Point, and
of Iowa county, throughout which
he was well known, feel the shock
with great force; and one and all

Lancaster Herald: We have been
blessed with plenty Of snow thus
far this winter. 1t is true that not
a little inconvenience has been ex-
perienced by the railroads and trav-
cling public in consequence of the
heavy fall of snow, but all this is
handsomely compensated for in the
knowledge that good coating of
snow is as beneficial to The grass
crop and winter wheat as any
fertilizer known. 1t contains valu.
able fertilizing qualities that could
not possibly be possessed by any
thing else, for it protects the roots
of plants from the extreme cold,
keeps the ground warm, and renders
it less subject to upheavals from
frost in the spring. A cold, steady
winter is an advantage TO the entire
business Of the country. People
living in cities where the snow fall
has been heavy are complaining of
bad streets and uncomfortable
getting about, without once stopping
to consider the vast amount Of good
that such fall of snow is sure to
bring for the people.
