Fish Matching in China, Is sometimes
conducted with the aid of hen. The
spawn is collected from the waters
edge, and placed in an empty eggshell.
THE egg is then sealed with wax and
placed under the setting hen. After
some days the egg is carefully broken
and the spawn emptied into water
well warmed by the sun. There the lit
tile fish are nursed until they are strong
enough to be turned into a lake or
stream.

rhree Trlelss for slender Folk.

Dainty shoulder finishings are in
great numbers, and are highly regarded
especially by slender women, to whom
they bring the appearance of increased
width so much desired. One of the
most beautiful of these devices is the
long scarf of chiffon, tied into festoons
by butterfly bows of ribbon and finished
at the ends by punches of flowers and
ribbon. The festoon that passes about
the shoulders is allowed to droop well

The private deposits of the Bank of
England have perhaps never been as
large as they are now. They now
amount to f41, 100000, against f33, 100000
six months ago and EDS, 100000 twelve
months ago; while in the years pre-
vious to 1890 the July total of private
deposits was f3O,O00000 or less. Were

Professor Bemis, late of the Chicago
university, puts a poser to President
Harper of that institution. He asks
president Harper to state publicly and
explicitly just why he has been deprived
of his professorship, if there Is any
other reason than that in his taking
ground against all forms of monopoly
and all kinds Of monopolists.

Oregon and Washington people have
lately started to boom their State
products for eastern consumption in
large way. They are particularly anx-
ious to sell fruit in the East, because
there has been notable development
in the fruit raising industry in their
region of late years. They are making
the novel claim that much of Califor-
MAS reputation for fine fruits has been
made on oregon and Washington prod
ucts. Great quantities of fruit from
these States have been sold to Califor-
mia buyers and, it is alleged, shipped
East as California fruit. A recent case
offered in proof is the receipt of an
order by a Salem, Oregon, cannery
from a California fruit packing house
for five hundred cases of canned cher
ries, "to be shipped without labels. :"
The inference is that the fruit would
be labelled as California product and

Nobody would expect to find Pata-
gonia or Abyssinia in the vicinity of the
center of learning, craftsmanship, sci
ence and progress OF the western hem
isphere. The most vivid imagination
would not be likely to conjure up vi
sions of Fiji islanders in all their crud-
ity and nudity within sight of her
majesty, the Goddess of Liberty, on the
dome; but here, beneath the blue can
opy Of heaven, with the light of the
stars for tapers, and the moon for a
lantern, in by-path leading from the
park to Maine avenue, which is near by
toward the south, haw-haws and guf-
flaws of loud and discordant laughter
attracted attention, and there, like I'M
kempt denizens of the Pacific wilds,
group of men and women were found
dancing and bowling in aboriginal
glee.
The women were from a con tiguous
quarter known as Louise alley, and the
men were from everywhere. They
were blacker than the night. shamefully
indifferent to their conditions They
were black women of sin and black
men of wicl1edness. Iniquity is their
portion and crime their pastime. They
were apparently not disturbing the
peace of the neighborhood, and police
interference was not thought of by any
Of them; nor by me. For our Washing
ton police force is composed of humani-
tartan philanthropists who never inter
rupt orgies of any sort, unless some
tragedy results, and then they mako
arrests as a matter of necessity. These
people were hilariously full of five-cent
whisky, or three-cent gin; but there
seemed to be no law violated, and no
reason on the statute books for the pre-
vention of their degradation, nor of the
contamination of their influence. You
will not wonder that said above that
women and children cannot eninv these

parks of the Mall after the shadows OF
nature fall, because then the shadows
of crime stalk forth and permeate even
the atmosphere.
The only man in the crowd Of half
civilized savages who was decently clad
wore the blue uniform of a sailor in the
navy of the United States. He was
dancing with the others, out in the
night within mile of the navy yard,
as wildly and frantically as any of the
foul and wretched beings about him.
No man can doubt the stories of dem
oniacal possession which the Scrip
lures narrate after having witnessed
such scene. All of these creatures
were bereft of true reason, and were
entirely under the influence of the
demon of the still. Through the trees
l could see the cleaning spire of the
Metropolitan Methodist church, where
Bishop Newman preached SO long, and
beneath whose eloquent ministrations
tens OF thousands of dollars had been
contributed to send abroad for the sup
port of the missionaries in foreign
lands.
Within five minutes walk, in the
direction of any point of the compass, a
man might come to the door of some
Christian sanctuary where other tens
Of thousands of dollars have been raised
for a similar purpose, and yet. we have
heather so near home. Why is it that
the ewes of sarctity so often look over
the heads of these creatures OF God and
stretch and strain their visual power to
see necessity for PROSECUTING in coun-
tries far away, while in our midst is a
lower order of civilization, thriving
commune of crime which never heard
the story of Calvary. nor ever dreamed
that they have a Father who Is the
same Father to whom the white men
and women clad in purple and fine linen
pray. and for whose worship they build
houses Of worship too fine for our home
heather to enter?
Still the stars were shining. and the
moon was beaming. and the southern
breezes were rustling the leaves over
head as continued a ramble which de-
veloped other scenes which deepened
and emphasized the reflections which
have been written above. All along
the Mall there were groups of men with
bottles OF liquid elimination which they

high iron fence, the gates are closed,
and the poor people of the republic can
only gaze through the bars and sniff
the incense of nature, vainly longing
for closer contact with the rare exotic
beauties which the public servants
withhold from their sovereign rulers.
The great Bartholdi fountain is playing
its crystal streams beneath electric
lights; but children, women and men
may view it only between the inter
stices Of the rails, and wonder why the
bars are there. But, even under these
circumstances, we can enjoy the beau
ties and fragrance of the place which
millions OF our countrymen would
gladly view, and who must envy US as
favored and pampered people.
Between these gardens and the white
house grounds, south Of Pennsylvania
avenue, for nearly mile there is one
continuous verdure which includes the
arsenal, national museum, Smithsonian,
agricultural department and monu-
ment parks, Overspread with me
branches of ancient trees in which the
swallows, robins and other aerial in
habitants twitter, chirp and sing until
lul;ed to slumber by their own music.
These places belong to the people. but
when the shades of night are falling
fast they are usually forsaken by ladies
and children because the Ishmaelites
congregate there; the men whom cir
cumstances and conditions have rem
dered homeless, friendless and, there
fore, not wholly amiable. They are
the men whose hands are against every
man, and who feel that the hands Of
all mankind are raised against them.
They people the Mall at night, just as
the birds people the trees. Whence
they come or whittier they go matters
little, for they are small factors in the
uiultiples Of a great city, and not one
of their integers commands personal
care or attention. It is only when they
violate law and order that they are
taken into custody; but in the mean
while they are objects of suspicion and
dread, SO that the timid and frail for
sake the Mall when the stars and moon
are overhead.
There are long benches in these con-
tinuous parks which are occupied dur
