Delaware Sturgeon.

Albany beef is the euphuism on
the shores of the Delaware for sturgeon
meat Doubtless the term goes back
to time when the Hudson sturgeon
fisheries were really important. The
meat, cut into long, thick chunks and
kept in cold storage, was recently an
important article of commerce few
miles above the head of Delaware bay,
but the sturgeon fisheries in the Della
ware, as elsewhere on the Atlantic
coast, have greatly fallen off in impor-
tance. The sturgeon is the hated en-
envy of the shad fishermen, as he de-
stroYs their light nets.

IN the pursuit of the great aim to he
reached, are Of great value. Omaha Will
do everything to honor an occasion so close
lv associated with the welfare of Nebraska
and its sister states of the far west Such
conventions as these are worthy of the most
interested attention from all parts OF the
country, for what affects the west affects
the east. The day is rapidly going by when
one section can afford an indifferent atti-
tude to the essential interests of active sec
tons. There is a national irrigation com
mission under control of the interior de
partment, and each of the states specially
| interested has also bureau. To bring
| these into close relation with each other
and with public sentiment is of much i'm
portance.
Those who have examined the question
| most deeply claim that with good irriga-
| ton those regions which rely on this meth
cd of water distribution have greatly the
| advantage over such sections as depend on
what is regarded as an equable rainfall.
| In the case of the latter there are periods
every year of temporary drought or of too
much rain. In the regions of irrigation
the farmer receives exactly what his crops
need-no more, no less 1t will be curious

We crave the gain, but despise the getting;
We want wealth not ms reward, but DOVER

To thirst for glory, yet fear to fight

A Pagan's Prayer.
o Mother, | have loved thee without fear,
And looked upon the mystery OF change,
Since first child, upon the closing year,
| saw the snowhakes fall and whispered.
STRANGE"
Because in these pale borderlands of fate
Grief hath companioned me, | have not
qualed,
And when love passed into the outer strait
have not faltered, and thou hast not failed.
For have lifted up my heart to thee,
And thou hast ever hearkened and drawn
near,
And bowed thy shining face down over me
Till could hear thee as the hill flowers hear.
And have cried to thee in lonely need,
Being but a child of thine bereft and wrung,
Till all the rivers in the hills gave heed,
And the great hill winds in thy holy tongue
That ancient incommunicable speech
The April stars and autumn sunsets know
Soothed me and Gained with solace beyond
reach
OF human ken. mysterious and low.
Then in that day when the last snow shall come
And chill the fair round world within its fold,
Leave me not friendless in the gathering
gloom,
But grid thine arms about me as of old.
With sleep once more in thy compassionate
hands,
Groom me murmur as of many rills
When would rove the crimson valley lands,
With all my vanished comrades of the hills.
When that great storm out of the dark shall
drive
And blur the sun and bugle my release,
Let not thy weary earthling faint nor strive,
Earring beyond the tumult to thy peace.
Bliss Carman.

Men In New York Who Buy Pictures.

Don't count on the rich men of this city
to buy your pictures" said well known
art dealer to an ambitious artist who was
talking of bursting upon the New York
public. "They won't do it. And to tell
you the truth, he went on, 'in all New
York there are not more than $50 persons
who really love pictures-art for arts sake,
you know-who, in short, if they had opera
tickets for a certain night, would throw
them aside for the sake of visiting some
good paintings"
isn't that a small art loving public for
large town."
Eyes, it is, but it's the fact. tell you the
men who will buy your pictures if they like
them are the salaried men, head clerks,
jnnior partners-men who when they like
thing like it very much and are willing to
deny themselves for the sake of owning it.
"As a rule, it is not the married man who
will take your picture. | could count on
less than all my fingers the men of well
known wealth who buy pictures in New
York. They will commend, but they won't
buy. They can afford to go higher, and that
means TO 20 abroad. New York Sun.

oh, am sick at heart. The eye of day,
The insistent summer sun, seems pitiless,
Shining in all the barren crevices
OF weary life. leaving no shade, no dark,
Where may dream that hidden waters lie,
As ptiless as to some shpwrecked man,
Who, gazing from his narrow shoal of sand
On the wide, unspccked round of blue and blue,
Secs that fun light is errorless despair.
The insects hum that slurs the silent dark
Startles and seems to cheat me, as the tread
OF coming footsteps cheats the midnight
watcher
Who holds her heart and waits to hear them
pause,
And hears them never pause, but pass and die
Music sweeps by me as "a messenger
Carrying message that is not for me.
The very sameness of the hills and sky
Is uhduracy, and the lingering hours
Wait round me dumbly, like superfuous slaves,

They are forbid to tell.

Her Day
He was a mighty, rolling river;
She was little, ripping rill;
He was mountain naught could SILVER;
She was tiny, shifting hill.
He was lion, loudly roaring;
She was a lambkin, born To love;
He was an eagle, proudly soaring;
She was a gentle, cooling dove.
He was sturdy oak, defiant;
She wasa slender, clinging vine;
He was brave and brawny giant;
She was a wee thing feminine.
All, but the day when they went shopping
She was the one who took the lead;
She was the earth, SO far oertopping
Him that he seemed mustard seed!

AS THE WATER IS SUPPLIED TO A FARM.
the mountains of San Bernardino county is
the most wonderful artificial storage basin
in the world. A valley Of about IL miles
long and of varying width, lying at an ele-
walton of 6,3O0 feet, is utilized by the con-
struction of dam 60 feet high, making a
water plane SIX miles long and covering
$500 acres. THIS was built at IA trifling cost
of S15, 900, and the immense mass of water
21,l99, 900 gallons-is held by masonry
built in the form of horizontal arch. The
Sweetwater dam of San Diego county,
which cost a round million, stores only
about quarter of the above, yet has proved
splendid investment. These and similar
reservoirs in California show how easily a
complete irrigating method may be perfect
I'D in mountainous region.
English capital, always on the alert for
good outlets of investment, has gone large
ly into these ventures, and our own eastern
capitalists, it is said, are getting awake on
the subject. The fact that lands in them
selves nearly worthless, though otherwise
well located, jump to prices of from 300 TO
$500 per acre instantly that they are open
TO irTigating facilities in southern Califor-
mia is more suggestive than volumes of
comment. Indeed the vast vineyard and
fruit industry of the Golden State, already
more valuable than its mines of precious
metals, would have been impossible with
out scientific irrigation. So, too Colorado,
the industry of which has been so long sup
posed by many TO depend on its under,
ground resources, has, with the use of ade-
quate irrigation methods, within a few
years shown remarkable results in orchards
and grain tillage. Experts who have stud
led the question think that the now barren
wastes of Arizona, with the development
of a good system of irrigation, will prove
second California in its growth of subtrop-
ical fruits.

The red men who inhabit the whole west

Uains and the Cascade range believe that
the spots on Lunas face represent the form
of gigantic toad, and tell the following
story TO substantiate their queer ideas;
In time long past a little wolf, being des
perately in love with a toad, went a-woo-
ing one night and prayed that the moon
might shine brightly on his adventure. His
prayer was granted and by the clear light
of the moon he was pursuing the toad and
had almost caught her when, as a last
chance, she made desperate spring for
the face of the moon (Which appeared much
nearer than common) and succeeded in
reaching that luminary, where she sets until
this day in plain view of all the wolves of
the world, which nightly howl in their ag-
ony whenever they think of how the toad
outwitted their ancestor.-St. Louis Re

caused CONSERVATION In the ranks OF the
Tammany politicians this morning Inc
fact that an investigation had been set
on foot, and the possibility OF the whole

effect upon them.
