our preparations for the Worlds Fair
several large companies have been or
gained for the purpose of developing
to the fullest our possibilities as a fish
ing colony. Much of the present great
exhibit is due to the efforts of these
corporations.
"The chief aim of the exhibit will be
to disseminate knowledge of our fish
food products. To this end will be
shown our methods of preparation and
the results actually achieved. We
think our fish possessed of an exceed
ingly fine natural flavor and to prove
our correctness will give away samples
to those interested. A specially will
be made of our salmon. Other fish we
have in abundance are the schnapper,
whiting, garfish, tailor. cod, brelm,
mullet and Jewish. The government
has printed pamphlet on our fish i'm
dustries and resources. We have n
supply of these pamphlets with us for

THE HUM AN FLY.
Afmrc TuIB How she Walks with nc
Head Downwards.

Head Downwards.
MANY unnatural positions are
assumed by vaudeville performers, and
nearly all the laws of gravitation and
health are transgressed. In my own
case / nightly do an act, now known as
the "Human Fly Act" which at first
so upset my whole anatomy as to cause
me illness for days at time, says
Aimee, better known as "the Human
Fly" SIN this act walk distance of
over thirty feet with turn This
turn is the most difficult part of tho
act, especially as my head is hanging
downward, and the only means l have
for support is on the planking above.
1t is not SO much the skill In walking
which makes the act difficult as the
strain on the head from the blood run
ming to it. Let the readers of tbis arti-
Gle try standing on their heads for q
few moments. They will become eavy
in an instant, their eyes will most
start from their sockets, and the will
be an unpleasant feeling all over the
body. If practiced daily for months it
will be found that the occurrence of
these unpleasant effects will not be so
great, and the performer will in time
find that it is easy to stand on his or
her head up to certain limit without
any disagreeable results. Constant
practice, in fact, for many years, is
necessary before an artist can perform
the human fly act with success.

Hardly less beautiful is the sunrise
when the hills which have been purple
turn to gold, and suddenly the rays of
light shoot fifty miles across the plain
and make every arop on the ice plants
sparkle. Nor less lovely are the
sunsets; you go out in the evening; the
fierce heat of the day is over; as you
walk cool breath touches
your cheek; you look up, and
all the hills are turned pink and
purple, and a curious light lies on the
top of the Karoo bushes; they are
gilded; then it vanishes, and all along
the west there are bars of gold against
IA pale emerald sky, and then every
thing begins 10 turn gray. In the
karoo there arc also miragcs As you

ALL IN THE FAMILY.

A 17-year-old Bellows Falls, Vt,
girl recently placed an advertisement
in the papers for husband, and in
side of two days she had received
thirty-five proposals.
Eighty years ago in Edinburgh it
was the custom for man to walk
through the town every day at noon
bearing large shin-bone of beef. His
cry was, Three stirs and q wallop for
q bawbee." All the housewives had
their vegetables stewing for the family
soup, and gladly paid their bawbees
for the privilege of three stirs with
the bone, which was supposed to flavor
the stew.

"Some of the Washington romances

to New York Tribune reporter. EN-
glish people, you know, are apt to be
more eccentric in their fads and their
fancies than Americans, and some
times they take very odd liSings. Some
years ago there was a young English
girl stopping at the British Legation
in Washington and this girl, together
with the lofty scorn of American men
peculiar to the insular English maiden,
had a proportionate although entirely
theoretical admiration for the abort
ginal red man, of whom, however, she
had never seen a specimen.
Just at that time there was some
trouble in the West and the Indians
were performing their ghost dances
and other war antics, and to Miss IS
great delight deputation of chiefs
was sent on to Washington to have a
pow-wow with the President. A very
