fisheries of England and Wales was esti-
mated to Have been elS.000. In 1868 it
was said to have reached $50. .000 In 1870
its value was fixed at 100000, and two
years later the value was placed at e100 000
This increase is the direct result of the
salmon fishery act OF 1861, of which the
three fundamental principles were: The
preservation of the salmon during a fixed
close time. the opening up of rivers TO the
free ascent of salmon to the upper waters,
and The prevention of pollution.

the workmen at the west side of White

ingly bottomless bed of quicksand. Vain

for the foundation.
Finally the civil engineer and the con.

overcome the difficulty. They sent men
all through the country to buy wool.
They purchased nearly all Of that COM

Pazzles About the Eel.

Ofall the common creatures of the va.
ter none is as great puzzle to the nat
uralists as the slippery, everyday eel.
That they live and have their being there
is not the shadow of a doubt, but exactly
how they are propagated no living man
knows. You may assert that they bring
forth their young alive, like the viper
does, and I may declare that the baby
eel comes from eggs or spawn, and yet
neither can prove that the other is in er-
rcr. In short, the eel's manner of breed.
ing is one of the mysteries of nature.
Some authorities contend that they grow
up from horsehairs; others that they are
generated spontaneously from slime.
The fishermen of all countries have their
popular superstitions respecting this
slippery customer. To Scandinavia
lands they tell you that eels are the pro-
geny of the water snake and some species
of fish, and, being hybrids, like mules,
lever breed. In Sardinia they are said
to be produced from eggs laid by wa
ter beetle known, on this account, as
"the mother of eels." Some years ago
the celebrated Virehow offered large
reward to anyone that would send him a
female eel containing eggs. He was
never called upon to pay the reward. A
most careful examination with the mi.
croscope is necessary in order to distin.
guish the sexes. If you doubt these
things send to the United States fish
commissioners for a ton of eel eggs.

A Timid Millionaire's Gold.

In one of his romauces Alexander Du.
mas tells of man who kept all his say.
ings in gold. When wsr broke out in
France aud gold went to very high pre-
MUM, be exchanged all he had for Gov
ernment notes and thus acquired for
tune. When the property left by the late
Wilson G.. Hunt was overhsuled by his
executors they found s8OO,000 in gold
coin. The purpose ofthe old millionaire
in keeping such large amount of money
lying idle will probably never be defn-
itely known, as he did not confde his de-
sign to anyone, but it is supposed that he
thought the unsettled condition of the
money market would reduce gold to a
premium, aud be determined to have a
stock of it on hand.
Henry Clews, the banker and broker,
who was one of Mr.. Hunts most inti-
mate friends, and was at one time aseo.
ciated with him in business, was of the
opinion that Mr.. Hunts action was in
spired by fear.
"Mr. Hunt was an exceedingly timid
man." said Mr.. Clews. "His fortune of
f7e millions was the result of many years
of saving, and he never had sufficient
courage to venture into the scheme that
entailed even ordinary risk. Twice du'
ring my association in business with him
he put all his money into gold, and each
time he did it because he feared he
would lose it. tt Q first time was in 1867
when there was q panic, and the other
was just before the war. 1t was really
surprising that be should have made so
much money, but the most of it came
from saving. He finally retired in 1860
from the dry goods business with for
tune of s75O,OOO. He was unmarried,
aud lived with niece at the Clarendon
Hotel for forty-fve years to my knoHl.
edge. His mode of living was very in
expensive, and 1 doubt that he spent
over $4,000 year. Money invested in
good securities, as his was, will double
in ten years. His S750,O0O therefore
amounted to 81 100000 in ten years, 10
So 100000 in twenty years aud to &c.,
100000 in thirty years. As he left s5,-
100000, it is evident that he did not do
quite as we'll as he should have done l
think very few rich men hoard gold at
any time. The man who acquires riches
usually has sufficient confidence in the
great enterprises ofthe country to be will
ing to take his chances on their securi-
ties, and the Government bonds appeal to
to even the timid as being safer than gold
or any other kind of property ."-New

Can the World Afford to be Honest.

Parson Bangle became disgusted with
the untruthfulness of mankind and
preached a vigorous sermon in denuncia.
tion of society falsehood. he declared
that lies told out of politeness were just
So wicked as those told with the deliber'
ate intention of deceiving. In fact, these
society lies got folks in the habit of ly-
ing, and they readily pick up the other
kind. The sermon made great impress
sion. Many fthe congregation resolved
to reform. Coming out of the church,
Deacon Jones said to Judge Badger, who
sits in front of him:
Judge, I hope you didn't mind my
putting my feet under your pew"
The judge was about to reply, "Oh,
certainly not )" but he thought of the
sermon and answered:
"I did, though !; your old hoofs took up
all the room and were a fearful nui.
sance."
"WeIl," said the deacon, "the hair oil
you use smells so, it nearly forced me to
leave the pew"
They glared at each other, and just
then Mrs Badger and Miss jenkins came
along. Miss Jenkins had asked, GLOW
do you like my new bounet?" "Oh, I
thought it just love-" replied Mrs. B.
and then she thought of the sermon.
"No, didn't either. lis horrid thing.
wouldn't be seen with it," And Miss
Jenkins got mad and replied, "Well, if I
were you, I'd not wear dirty stockin's to
church and if did, I'd keep 'em out of
sight" While these honest converse.
tions were going on, Mrs. Smith had said
to her next door neighbor, Mr.. Murray, II
hope the crying of cur baby last night
didn't disturb you?' And Murray re-
piled, "No-that is-yes, I wanted to
brain the brat" And then Mrs. Smith
called him wretch and wept.
Then the clergyman came out and
asked young Symonds how he liked the
sermon. Symonds said, "It was grand
ef-.er-oh, parson, it was blamed non
sense" "Sir2" said the parson, and he
drew himself up Indignantly. Just then
Smith and Murray, after telling each 9TH
or the truth, clinched, and Deacon Jones
was trying to hold Mrs. Smith from
scratching Mrs. Badger. 1t took tremen-
dous efforts to stop the rows and prevent
a scandal, and, as it was, everybody went
away mad with everybody else. The
parson went home and meditated in
gloomy frame of mind for three hours,
and finally concluded that society lying
was wicked but he wouldn't preach
against it again. It's altogether too
handy sin to be given up.
