of large pea. At the same time a
third man holds over the pail a male
salmon, who is made to discharge his
milt, a white substance of about the
same consistency as cream. Foreman
Bass with feather stirs the eggs and
mIt together until they are well
united. The spawning of the female
means her death. She is Immediately
thrown out on the bank and left to lie
until the close of the days work,
when the fish are all picked up by the
Indian women, and after being cleaned
hung up in the sun and left to dry for
winter food.
The males continue to spawn TO a
week or two at a time, and when
once used are thrown back In their
proper jar to be used again day after
day until the seasons store of milt is
exhausted. When the eggs of the fe-
male first come in contact with the
milt they unite. While in this con-
dition they are placed in shallow jars
and left to stand for an hour or two,
at the end of which time the eggs
separate and are ready to be washed.
The process of washing follows the
days spawning, which generally lasts
until nearly noon. The washing OF
the eggs is accomplished by placing
them in large buckets, which are filled
with water from the river, with which
the eggs are washed over and over
again until they are perfectly clean.
The next step is to carry the eggs
to the hatchery, which is done by
hand. A brief description is necessary
to give the reader an idea of what the
hatchery is like. It consists simply
of series of long, narrow troughs,
through which flows constantly q
stream of water, pumped fresh and
cold from the river. In these troughs
are set baskets of wire netting just
wide enough to fit inside OF the
trough and about eighteen inches in
length. These baskets are the recep-
tacles for the freshly washed salmon

eggs. Foreman Bass in disposing OF
the eggs aims to place about 20, 600
in each basket. The unit of measure
is tin dipper which holds about 1000:
The baskets being of netting on all
sides, offer no obstruction to the con-
tinuous flow of water in the troughs.
This continued flow OF water has the
same effect on the eggs as though they
had been spawned naturally by the
parent fish at the bottom of the river.
As the eggs are thus left in the baskets
they are looked over from day to day
by experienced hands, who pick out
the dead eggs which have failed of i'm
pregnation. Eggs of this sort gener-
ally amount to about two per cent. OF
the whole. 1t is sought to get rid OF
these eggs before the good ones COM
mence to hatch.
The first sign of life in the egg is
the appearance of the eyes, which,
after the first few days, can be clearly
seen with microscope. The eyes ap-
pear plainly on the outside of the egg
after eighteen or twenty days. The
next manifestation of life is the ap-
pearance of the head and tail, which

rying these fish. The Indians, when
they have finished, are bathed in per-
spiration and feel no need of sitting
by the fire during the half hour Of
rest which is allowed before another
haul. Fishing continues until 7
o'clock, when an hour is taken for
breakfast. Following the breakfast
hour fishing continues with varying
success until the pens of the spawning
station are we'll filed with ripe salmon.
The average haul at the present time
is from thirty to forty fish. Only last
week single haul netted nearly 200
fish, and hauls have been known to
run as high as 900 fish, all Of large
size and aggregating such enormous
weight that the shore windlasses
groaned and creaked in most dis
tressing manner as the net was ad-
vancing shoreward.
The fishing finished, then follows
the more interesting business Of the
day, and that is to spawn the scores OF
ripe fish that have been caught. In
dians armed with hand nets lift the
salmon from the pens and deposit
them on the platform, where they are
left to thrash and kick about until
called upon to yield their accumulated
harvest of spawn. The process oi
taking the eggs requires the united

MYRA BRADwELL.

1852 married James B. Bradwell, o.
rising young lawyer. Becoming in
terested in his profession she COM
menced the study of law under his
supervision. She passed q most credits-
BILE examination, but because she was q
married woman was denied admission
to the bar. She did not despair, but
bent all her energies in removing this
legal defect.
Her application was refused by thei
Supreme Court of Illinois, and she
sued out writ of error against the
State of Illinois in the Supreme Court
of the United States. Her case was
argued in 1871 by Matt Carpenter,
United States Senator from Wisconsin.
The Court, upon consideration, noti-
fed Mrs. Bradwell that her marriage
was legal disability, which only legis-
lstion could remove.
Another effort was made to have the
Supreme Court consider the matter
favorably, but an adverse decision was
rendered at the time. Twenty years
later the Court apparently recon-
sidered its ruling and ordered GER,
tifcate issued. i
Mrs. Bradwen was the first woman
in the United States to apply for ad.
mission to the bar, the first woman who
became member of the Illinois Press
Association and the first woman to
become a member of the Illinois State
Bar Association. Over twenty-five.
years ago Mrs. Bradwell established
the Chicago Legal News, the first
weekly legal paper ever published in
the Western States, and was its editor
and it's business manager until her
death. The Legislature gave her q,
special charter for her paper and
passed several acts making it evidence
in courts and valid medium for the
publication of legal notices.

A New Safety Pocket.

Pockets are to be counted among the
MANY troubles of womankind, and any
alleviation of the difficulties entailed
by a desire to carry all that is neces-
sary with safety will be hailed with de-
Light by our sex. There IS hardly any
feminine pocket that can be honestly
said to be safe for carrying money.
Lady Isabella Margesson has, however,
come to the rescue of her sex, and has
invented one of the most convenient

the purse cannot be reached from the
outside. By means of spring, the
mouth of the bag opens wide, and on

still incased in sort of sac, which is
gradually absorbed. Even incum-
bered by this sac the tiny fish display
much strength and are soon able to
swim against the current in the trough.
The length of time required for the
eggs to hatch varies greatly, according
to the temperature of the water. The
warmer the water the quicker the
Matching. One degrees difference in
temperature makes difference in the
Matching of five days,
The fishing in the evening is repe-

first haul of the net is made by the
light of bonfire at 7.30 o'clock, and
fishing is continued until 10 o'clock
and even until midnight, when the fish
are sufficiently plentiful. The fish
taken in the evening are sorted and
placed in the pens, but are not

Warm up ths passions Of the breast.

OF summers rarest flowers in bloom,
Who sings deathless song Of death,
And glorifles the hero's tomb.

Can touch the chords Of life and bring

Bright blossoms Oh ao angels wing,
He doth express the grandest thought
In slaves Of sweet, exquisite rhyme,
And with o pen with beauty frauSht
He writes the annals Of his time.
IT'S he who sees beyond the stars
The beauty Of another CLINE,
And lifts the shadows dusky bars
From sweeter scenes that are sublime.

Amortal with brain divine,
Whose words shall like glowing fro
In stanzas sweet forever shine.

Some further particulars in connection

obtained from Bee and Gibson. 1t will be
remembered that the robbery occurred at
an early hour Saturday morning, February

O'NEILL AS VIRGINIUS.
Sheridan Knowles Play Is Well
Presented.


Sunday night is not an auspicious time
TO change programme, and the fact that
it is a Sunday in Lent makes it all the
more undesirable. Nevertheless, there was
a liberal attendance at the Stockwell las {
evening. Many came out of spirit of
curiosity to see their favorite actor take up
the high legitimate, and many, no doubt,
to enjoy the play itself; for, whatever may
be said to the contrary, there yet remains
a strong liking for the heroic drama. The
stately lines of Knowles meet this
liking. especially as the poetic fervor is
accompanied by strong. vivid and exciting
action.
Mr.. O'Neill gave US representation OF
the Roman father that was above the
