work Of the Fish Commission.

Work Of the Fish Commission.
During the fishing season of 1892 the
United States fish commission, which
busies itself solely with the propaga-
ton of edible fish in the waters all
over the country, stocking rivers with
species new to the region, distribut
ing eggs and young fish to the lakes
and seacoasts, and working in vast
number Of ways to the one end, dis
tributed total of so6, $50, 4s2 eggs,
fry and yearlings of all kinds of fish.
The largest operations were in shad.
OF this fish SO, 1000. 600 fry, LOCO, 900 year
nngs and 100000 eggs were distrib-
uted. Cod is the fish most distributed
next to shad, and of whitefsh, lake
trout, pike, perch, salmon, fatflsh and
lobster the distribution Of eggs, fry
and yearlings was away up in the
millions of each, every state and terri
tory getting share. The work of the
commission, which is Of SO great inn
portance and substantial value to the
whole people, is done quietly, in q thor
ough business way, without parade of
any kind, and the commission is by no
meansa widely known department OF
the government. HI

some or the Objections to Living IL North
ern Borneo. ss
The northern half Of the island Of
Borneo is the queerest and most un-
satisfactory place to live that one can
imagine, thinks the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. It is land of constant re-
curing phenomena, where cyclones
are frequent and deluges of water very
common. The vegetation in that half
is very fine, but in all probability the
widest and most tangled on earth
not even excepting that Of Africa The
cause of all the trouble is the shallow
condition Of the sea north of it, great
shoals of sand existing a few miles out
which extend along it's entire northern
length These shoals are covered by q
depthsof water not over five feet deep.
The constantly recurring winds that
blow in that climate change to hllrri-
canes and sweep the smaller islands of
all visible life. When such a storm
strikes the sand shoals north of Bor-
neo it sweeps up the shallow salt water
in its course and drenches the island
with it. Often it gathers up sand,
great masses of it, from the clear
swept shoal and whirls it for miles
high over the island, carrying it into
the island and scattering it every
where. The work of these storms does
not always end with that. Entire
shoals of fish, of all sizes, have been
swept up time and again by the fierce
wind with the water and sand and
scattered about Borneo. In some places
the ground would be literally covered
with. fish, enough to supply a heavy
population for weeks But such luck
is no reparation for the evil the winds
do, and consequently the northern half
will never be inhabited by those who

A Pair OF Heels Made to Order That Could

There is a certain young woman In
Washington, says Kate Fields Wash.

in the matter of height has been fol
years subject of the keenest regret.
The fact that some day she may have
lover who will rejoice that she is only SO
s.high as his heart does not take away
the poignancy Of her present grief. Not
long since, having accepted an invita-
ton to be bridesmaid for friend, she
resolved upon a plan which she i'm.
agined would tend to equalize the mat
ter of height between her.and the other
attendants This was to have her
white satin slippers constructed with
heels three inches high.
The order was given and at the day
appointed she went to the store to
have the slippers tried on. They were
cut on the most artistic principles pos
sible and the young woman surveyed
her foot with pride. She started to rise
in order to test their comfort and then
came the tug Of war. She found impos-
sible to stand without the aid Of the
amused clerk, who, with both hands
extended, succeeded in landing her
firmly on her feet The instant he
withdrew his support the unusual
height Of the heels caused her to lose
her balance and topple forward like Q

FAcToRIEs FOR DOG FEED.

"a Place where Sustenance for AristocrataO
CANNES IL Manufactured Wholesale. IS
One Of, the two factories in this coun-
try for the making Of patent food and
patent medicine for dogs has been de-
scribed in the New York News. Tho
founder of this cstab lishment was a
Scotchman. He was employed in LON
don kennels, studied the needs Of
dogs, thought out special treatment
for them and finally took out patents
on foods and medicines, and in this
unique business amassed fortune
On the ground floor the visitor enters
the receiving room Of the raw materi-
ais. Thousands of pounds Of butch
ers' scraps are brought here in the
course Of month. Oatmeal in whole
sale quantities and tons of herbs are
used. The old-fashioned dogs bane,
boneset, catnip and beef-root, under
various scientific names, find a use as
food or as medicine. The second floor
is: occupied by four curious machines,
with great cylinder attachments At
ter the fat and meat have been sorted
they are ground separately in these
machines and then placed in great
wooden tubs where various mixtures
are added.
The next process seems so much like
the ordinary bakers work that one is
quite disposed to taste things, and
when the round and square cakes of a
tempting brown have been taken from
the brick ovens one really envies the
aristocratic dog. After cooling, the bis
cults are packed in neat pasteboard
boxes. According to size these boxes
are labeled for pet dogs, for grey
hounds and St. Bernards. There are
especially prepared dishes for cats.
Sufficient food to keep pussy for two
days may be had for five cents. But it
costs pretty penny to keep a dog. A
large dog must have six or eight cakes,
besides a quantity of meat The meat
costs probably about ten cents and the
cakes are four cents apiece. The most
interesting department is that of the
patent machines, at the top of the
building. The mixtures of herbs and
chemicals are boiled in great kettles,
and the liquid is brought up to this
floor to be put in bottles OF various
sizes and labeled ''cure for mango, -
Ointment for sprains,' and to ''pre-
vent badness Sure cures for seven
teen diseases, and pills as we'll as liquid
medicines, are made. This curious es-
+, tablishment also makes dog-collars,
dog soaps, crates for. carrying or ship
ping dogs, dog brushes and combs,
blankets and macintosh waterproofs,
with hoods, for greyhounds.

THE TERM "YANkEE."

Various Theories Which Have Been Ad-
vanced rs to Its Origin.
The theories which have been ad-
vanced as to the origin of the name
Yankees are numerous. According to
Thierny, it was a corruption of Jakin,
diminutive of John, which was q
nickname given by the Dutch colo
nists of New York to their neighbors
in the Connecticut settlements
In a history of the American war
written by DIR. William Gordon and
published in 1889 was another theory.
DIR. Gordon said that it was a cant
word in Cambridge, Mass, as early as
1918, used to denote especial excellence
AS q Yankee good horse, Yankee
good cider, etc. He supposed that it
was originally byword in the college,
and being taken by the students into
parts of the country gradually obtained
general currency in New England, and
at length came to be taken up in other
parts Of the country and applied to
New Englanders as term Of slight re-
proach.
Aubury, an English writer. says that
it is derived from Cherokee word
eankee-which signifies coward and
slave. This epithet was bestowed upon
the inhabitants Of New England by
the Virginians for not assisting them
in a war with the Cherokees The
most probable theory, however, is that
advanced by Mr.. Heckewelder-t that
the, indians in endeavoring to pro-
nounce the word English, or Anglais,
made it Yengees. or Yangees and this
originated the term.

ONE OF AR,zoNA's WONDERS.

A Barrel-Sh8ped Rock Two Hundred Eeee
High Which Can BE Seen Miles Away.
For many years Heidelberg univer-
sity has had the honor of owning the
largest barrel, or ''tun," as they call
it, in the world. They have had the
honor, although, according to the San
Francisco Call, it does not really be-
long to them, for Arizona has a barrel
that makes theirs fade into insignia-
canoe. The one at Heidelburg will
not hold liquid, neither will the one
in Arizona. In this way they are the
same, but are different in many other
ways. Arizona's barrel is the work of
nature, and it is on high peak Of
mountain, about five miles from Aguas
Calientas, which is in the Catalina
mountains, about sixteen miles from a
railroad. The barrel is one Of those
peculiar rock formations and is about
two hundred feet high, and the top of
it is at least two thousand feet above
the valley. It can be seen for miles
before the traveller gets to it, and it's
appearance is most deceiving. 1t re-
quires no effort Of the imagination to
see the large utensil Of Bacchus
perched on its peak with a glass under
a faucet as if ready to be filed. A
large fssure in certain spot forms a
bunghole. It does not look like q
barrel unless seen from the plain; on
all other sides it is simply rugged
rock. It is soft granite formation of
volcanic origin and is crumbling to
pieces all the time. 1t is so soft that
half q dozen men with picks could
knock it to pieces in few days.
