IN PUGET SOUND.
A Paradise for Fishermen in wate
Teeming With Life

Puget Sound swarms with fish.
Wonderful stories are told of them.
So plentiful are the salmon that dur
ing the season when they are running
up the streams it is said they will
rush up brook so thickly as to wedge
together and form bridge that one
can walk across. In jumping the falls
of small creeks they often lacerate
themselves terribly on sharp rocks.
Salmon is the favorite fish of that
country. Even the ladies like them.
One old fisherman down on the wharf
told how a lady up town had a pet
salmon. 1t stayed in a certain little
cove. During the rainy season the
lady would come each day to feed it
with bread When she would start
back it would swim up the watery
streets and follow her home. then
swim down again to it's little cove.
Very queer fish are caught in these
waters. One kind is called candle fish
1t is dried and packed in boxes like
candles. We are told the fishermen
use them to light their homes. and
that at one time all the boats on the
sound used them instead of sperm-oil
lamps. By putting the heads of the
fish downward in a candlestick AMI
lighting the tail, which, in conjunction
with the backbone, acts as a wick. it
burns like candle. They eat this
fish, and when cooking it is so fat it
fries itself.

LINES IN THE HAND.
Reading the Character, tie Future, and
the Past by Them.

Square or spatulated fingers in the
science of palmistry, denote the
philosophical and practical tempera-
ment. Taper fingers signify an artistic
temperament, and very pointed digits
are a sure sign of the dreamy, psychical
nature. Much is learned by the gen
eral quality and confguration of the
hand and palm as well as by the lines
which cross the latter. The life line
running around the base of the thumb
denotes long or short life, good or ill
health, according as it is long or short,
clear and unbr oxen or otherwise. The
''heart line" running across the palm
nearest the base of the fingers, signi-
fies the quality of the possessor's emo
tional nature, also the kind of love she
will give and receive. This will be
enduring or temporary according to
whether the line be long and clear.
forked or crossed and chained. Be
low this is the head line, which indi-
Gates the mental and moral qualities
and achievements and deficiencies.
The line of fate runs perpendicularlv
across the middle of the palm and is
very importanJ factor in the happiness
or unhappincss of its owner. 1t should
be clear and narrow, unclaimed and
uncrossed by the fine wrinkles which
score so many palms, and it should
never come to an ersi on the line of
the heart, since this signifies disap-
pointment in love. A cross on the
Mount of Mercury" which is lust at
the base of the fore or index finger, is
an unfailing sign of happy mar

Our great neighbor to the south,
.vb;lom our foe and now our very good
friend who seeks every opportunity to
t.stify to his amicable feelings and to
his admiration, has come in great bulk
70 the worlds fair. Mexico, a sister
r.public whose territory is four times
The size of Germany, five times that
Of Texas and nearly eight times that
Of the British isles, has never before
been half so well represented at any
treat exposition as at this one. Tho
ancient land of the Aztecs, walked from
IFS slumbers, has appeared in our
midst with an exhibit which, so far as
size and variety are concerned, is cx-
ceeded by but few, equalcd by not
manv She has products to show in
nearly every one of the exposition
buildings; products of the soil of tho
mind and of the hand. She is weak in
some strong in several, but insignti.
cant in none Her aim, as directed by
her progressive and kecn-eyed presi-
dent Cen Diaz, was Enthusiastically to
let the world see-and especially tho
United Statcs-that she is country
not to be despised in any sense of the
word, country most prolific, most
yariegated, that has made enormous
strides forward since affairs political
nave taken on more stable and
Eaceable aspect. Let me give you q
lew figures in support of my claim:
Mexico covers 5000 square feet in
Manufactures building proper and
1000 in the liberal arts display on the
gallery of the same structure; 5000 in

exhibit in the Fine Arts palace Is only
conditionally deserving of that title,
for it shows nothing of great merit.
But the strong feature of the whole
Mexican exhibit is found in Agricul-
tural hall. There the arrangement
has been made slsillfully and impress
sively, and there the wonderful re-
sources of her soil and climate shine
resplendently. The tobacco display,
for instance, is the most comprehen-
sive at the whole fair. The excellence
and the enormous variety of her leaf
tobacco, of her cigars and cigarettes,
and the enormous possibilities of
trade in this article with the United
States-thc largest tobacco consumers
of all the nations on the carth-are
shown beyond doubt. Then there is
the coffee-strong and aronatic-and
Of which Mexico can produce any
amount.
The seed exhibit is the most extern
sive comprising more than 1000 kinds.
Corn and wheat may be seen in greater
variety than ever before; the maize OF
peculiar blue tint for instance, ex-
hibited here is SO wonderfully produo-
tlNt ds W nave Dccn hlDWH 10 NlGlu
500 fold. MeXicans use this sort of corn
for food and call it a superior article.
Then there is the showing made in cot
ton, sugar, peppers (chile), the mag
uey plant, all sorts of tough fibers and
silk. The wild cotton which grows in
Mexico without any cultivation is seen
here. 1t is largely manufactured into
coarse cheap clothes, leaving it in its
natural hue, a dark gray. This cotton
grows on bushes two TO four feet high.
But there is also the white cotton Of
fine texture, the cultivated variety.
The products of the agave or maguey
are exhibited in great variety, includ-
ing pulque, the strong and somewhat
acidulent liquor obtained from it.
Brandies of every kind, made from fruit
such as orange, lemon, peach from the
teguila and similar plants are also on
view. The silk plant producing Il
natural fiber almost a. fine as that of
the silk worm, attracts attention. In
word, Mexico is first in Agricultural
