Goldfish Mining in Labrador.

An old sailor to the Arctic regions
has been telling how he really misses
cold weather this way: "'Tain't the
kind of air I'm used ter" he said. IL
don't believe I'll ever get what l
want this side of Labrador. You
don't have to fish for cod down to the
Labrador. You just gifts pick and
shovel and mines 'em; just mines 'em
out of the icebergs. They're frozen
in fast. Some of em have been
there for 100000 years, more or
less. They got catched up some time
and just froze in.
"a whaling man It knows his bust
ness can tell offhand where hid strike
a paying lead. He lands a crew on u
berg, and they cut a level piece to
stand on, and then Just open galleries
into the ice. You find the cod in
seams like coal. l never worked in a
coal pit, but I've had the thing ex-
planned to me, and it's about the
same. The Gods were swimming
around, and layer of them got
frozen.
"Then would come a layer of plain
ice underneath, without any trim
mings, and afteward another layer Of
cod. It's colder work than fishing,
cod mining is, but the returns are
quicker. There are mines down to
the Labrador that have been worked
for years and years, and still they
have never run out. The Yaks-
them's the Eskimos where
the best cod mines are, and they
won't tell, but the whalers know
thing or two I'm a whaler myself"

others again believe that he was a
butcher, and made skewers and
spouted poetry in-of all places on
earth--the slaughter.house Blades,
the printer, concluded that He was a
printer, because he used such words

clans have claimed him as one of
themselves, because he knew so much
that they are proud to know. Hugh
Miller, who had once been a stone
mason, traced out reasons in his plays
for believing that "our pleasant
Willy" was also one. Botanists have
given reasons for their belief in him
as a botanist, and gardeners theirs for
assuring us that he must have been a
gardener, as In a certain amateur
fashion he probably was. Thousands
have conjectured, as thousands will
conjecture In a Thousand other ways,
and still know exactly what we know

Two Puzzles.

Here are two puzzles for some lively
young heads to work out: First-A
man had two watches, each watch he
sells for s12 apiece. On the first
watch he loses so per cent. On the
second watch he gains so per cent.
How does he come out on the entire
transaction? Does he gain, lose or
stay even?
Second-A man died leaving will
giving one-half his property as he
left it to one son, one-third to another
son, and one ninth to the third son.
His entire possessions were found to
be seventeen COWS. How were they
divided so that each son got his share
without killing or dividing a COW.

Physical strength is highly rated in
Switzerland. In several cantons the
custom still prevails of holding
wrestling matches. The champions
taking part in these athletic sports
belong to the most diverse ranks in
the social scale. Thus, at recent
festival at Grenchen, a little town in
the canton Of Soleure, a wealthy
property owner and his tenant, a car
penter, stepped into the arena to
wrestle according to the rules of the
art. There were to be four rounds,
or "falls;" the stake for each fall"
was one quarters rent. After the
carpenter had thrown his landlord
four times the victor's prize was
awarded to him, and he found him
self entitled to live in his house rent
free for a whole year.

A Handsome Reward.

A lawyer of considerable proml-
hence relates an amusing story Incl
dental to the first criminal case In
which he was retained by the defense
He was then practicing In small
town not far from Washington, and
the case was that of local character
who had purlolned fat porker the
property of his nelghbor.
At first matters looked bad for the
accused during the trial, but Mr., L.,
the lawyer, was most eloquenU in his.
defense. His speech abounded In
rhetorical flowers and figures. At
times he was even pathetic to such q
degree that tears dimmed the eyes Of
the jury, while the prisoner wept
most copiously. The final outburst
Of his eloQuence brought everything
around to q climax of triumph, the
jury delivering the verdict of not
guilty without leaving their seats,
although the evidence Of the prosecu-
tion tended to show most conclusive
guilt
The released man was most pro-
fuse In his words of gratitude, calling
Mr.. L. his preserver, the champion Of
his honor, his liberty and all that life
held dear to him.
Mr. L. acknowledged with becom-
ing modesty his flood Of thanks, but
at last, seeing no end In sight Of these
extravagances, began to hint that'a
financial acknowledgment would be
more in order
ITO be sure, to be sure" exclaimed
the client, eagerly. al won't forget
about that and will pay you hand
somely, too, Say, Mr.. L., you be in
your Office tonight at IL, and I'll
come around and fix things all right.
"Twelve o'clockp said the lawyer
In astonishment "Bless me! Why
do you set that late hour"
4Never you mind, sir, he returned;
"never you mind. l mean to pay
YOU and pay you well Don't forget;
IL o'clock, sure.
Lawyer and client departed their
respective ways. That night Mr.. Il.
sat In his small Office awaiting the
coming of the man whose reputation
he had cleared. There was hushed
commotion In the rear Of his estab-
lishment promptly at midnight, then
a mufiled knock at the door. Mr.. l..
answered 1t,

ly; "here / am"
"But why do you make such a Sc
cret Of it?" asked the lawyer.
mot too loud" was the answer.
4Dldn't / say I'd pay you hand

"You did, indeed"
"Well, / mean to keep my word,
Mr.. L.; here it is. I've brought you
the pig"
And there In the grlmness Of the
mldnlght's weird shadows stood sew
