a curious case of arrest and punish
ment of idols took place recently at
Fooehoo, China. The idols of a certain
temple in that city were those appealed
to by persons hodesired to be revenged
on their enemies. They We're supposed
to cause death to those against whom
prayers TO them were directed. Recently
the Tartar military commander died
suddenly, and the IDEA got abroad among
the people that he had been slain by the
idols in question. The yiceroy of the
province, hearing this. at once gave or
ders that they Were to be arrested and
punished. They were of wood and about

Fishing on the Pacific Const.

Tho oldest industry of the Atlantic
coast the fisheries, is the newest indus
try of the Pacific. Until a few years
ago tho fishermen on the northern coasts
of California paid no attention to the
vast quantities of sturgeon and halibut
there, regarding them as worthless, and
it is only within two or three years that
the majority of places further north and
down the southern coast now making
money i'll fish have paid any attention
whatever to the industry.
Last year 6,000,00 pounds of sturgeon
were taken from the Columbia river and
shipped east, and altogether 100 or so
carloads of this one kind of fish went
east from that region. In the last year
or two there have been large discoveries
of halibut i'll Alaskan and other north
ern waters, and salmon are getting
more plentifuiSn the streams of that re-
gion. Los Angeles and other southern
California points have within year or
SO become great shippers of fish to the
east, barricudas and yellow tails being
the chief varieties.

Loyalty by Intimidation.

There is a growing opinion in the
provinces that the wedding present bust
hess in connection with the royal mar
riage is being carried too far. Regard
ing voluntary gifts, there is nothing to
DO said, but more than one case has como
to my knowledge where large employ
er of labor has been putting pressure on
his workpeople to contribute toward
some local fund for presenting the royal
couple with piece of plate. However
i'll the employees can afford the shilling
or two which is squeezed out Of them,
they have no option but to comply.
Now this is obviously not tho way to
engender respect for the monarchy. 1t
is complete reversal of the ancient
custom of feasting the people on the oc-
casion of n royal marriage.
The nation pays quite heavily enough
now for the luxury of an ornamental roy
al family without being indirectly taxed
in this manner. If the Duke of York
and his bride elect wish to gain the re-
spect of the people, they will some day
be called upon to rule, they cannot do
better than to refuse to accept all pres
ents except those which come from pri-
vate individuals, corporations or similar
bodies. 1t is time to put stop to these
disgraceful attempts by plutocrats to
curry favor with the royal family and SO
obtain linighthoods, baronctcies and
what not.-London Figaro.
