carried in boats to the factory, where

You can see huge fish among them
that weigh from thirty to sixty pounds.
One Chinaman will seize a salmon.

knife, sever its head with one stroke !;
another workman then grabs it and
slashes off the fins and disem bowels it.

blood soaks out, and, | tell you, thay
bleed like stuck pig. After repeated
washlngs the fish is cut into chunks,
plunged into brine and stuffed into
cans, the bones first being removed.
The tops of the cans, which have a
small hole in them, are then soldered
on, and 800 or 600 of them at a time
are plunged into boiling water, where
they remain until the heat has expelled
all the air. Then the little air hole in
the top of the lid is Eoldered up and

occurred n marked increase In the
number of birds seen about the liobt

hundreds where before there was one.
while the air was filed with the calls
and chirps of the passing host.
The birds presented singular ap-
pearance. AS they entered the limits
OF the divergent rays of light they be-
came slightly luminous, but as their
rapid wing beats brought them into
the glare of the torch they reflected
the full splendor of the light, and re-

At eleven o'clock we climbed to the

There is very great danger of an
athlete dying of lung trouble if he
ever ceases his sports" said Professor
A. G. Mathews. 'In athletic exer-
cises large lungs are required, and
they become inflated beyond their
natural size. If the athlete ceases his
practice and adopts anything ap-
preaching a sedentary life, the lungs,
falling largely into disuse, easily de-
cay, and the result is quick consump-
tion. 1t is frequently the case that
young men in college who are athletic
leaders after graduation go into
stores, offices, or counting rooms, and
IN few years die of consumption.
Every one is surprised, and it is said,
such strong, healthy man when he
left college. Who would have thought
he would die with consumption? Must
have been hereditary AS a matter
OF fact, he brought it upon himself,
by failing to keep up the practices
that expanded his lungs. "-Cincinnati

The vertical system of handwrit.

that it destroys individuality iD
