The United States Fish Commission
succeeded in Matching 80, 1000, 900 sllad
eggs at Gloucester, on the Delawat
this year, while from the Susquehanna
only abont 20, 900, 900 eggs Of this fish
were obtained. A few years ago the
eggs obtained at Havre de Grace every
year amounted TO nearly 65,000,O0O,
while from Gloucester the annual
Matching was in the neighborhood of
only 20, 000, 900. The reason for the
great increase in the take of eggs Of the
Delaware shad and the vast falling off
in the take of those from the Susque.
hanna is easily explained. Maryland
has no law against the deadly fish bask-
cts, and residents along the SusquebSn-
ma in Pennsylvania persistently defy
the commands Of their State against
these co~ntrivances. Most OF the ripar-
ian residents on the Delaware, both on
the Pennsylvania and New Jersey side,
obey the acts against fish baskets, and
swift punishment overtakes the. few
who attempt to violate them. THUS
while the shad are rapidly dimishipg in
number in the Susquehanna they are
increasing with wonderful rapidity in
the Delaware. 1t is officially stated
that the catch of this great food fish in
n week this year in the latter stream
outnumbered the total catch Of the sea-
ION in the ~Susquebanna. While the
Delaware river fishermen are carefully
nursing the goose which lays for them
the golden egg, the Susquehanna river
fishermen are doing their best to kill
their goose for the value Of the eggs

| Tho WcaIth of Elm DemidofY Ia Beyond
Calculation.
Like the English millionaires, those
OF the cars domains mostly derive
their revenues from landed property,
says the New York Tribune. While
the Briton, however, devotes large
part of his gross income toward improv-
ing his possessions and to the anchor
alton of the lot of his tenants in one
way or another, tho Russian, on tho
other hand. extracts every farthing
that he can from his property, and
spends it upon himself, tho result be-
ing that agriculture in Russia is going
from bad to worse, that formerly fer
tile and productive estates have now
become barren and impoverished and
that, while the pcasantry are in n
state of misery bordering on famine,
the mobiles themselves have been
obliged to mortgage or sell their lands
and are at the end of their financial
tether. Of course there are some ex-
ceptions, such as, for instance, tho
Yousoupoffs, the Dcmidoffs and the
Schcrcmctieffs. Tho wealth of the
Demidotfs is SO vast that 1t is beyond
calculation, and, strangely enough, tho
fortune is of relatively recent creation,
its founder having been q country
blacksmith in the days of Peter the
Great. 1t was while travelling in the
Ural mountains that the latter broke
one of his most valuable English pis-
tolls. A village smith mended it so
quickly and SO well that tho car was
delighted and asked the mans name
"Demidoff, l shall remember YOU"

was beginning to think that Peter had
forgotten him, when there came an Of
fetal document adorned with the inn

POLAR BEAR AND wALRus.
Strange Association Existing Bctwccn the
Two Animals.

Strange Association Existing Bctwccn the
Two Animals.
Old voyagers in Dehring sen tell of n
strange association between the wal.
rus and the polar bear. The walrus
furnishes the principal food OF this
great carnivore, which is his deadlcst
foe, in fact, yet to see them together,
as they frequently are encountered,
one might think they were boon com
panions- Lying upon the field ice will
often be seen patches" of walrus con-
tanning from thirty to fifty, and with
each OF these groups will be found the
polar bear. They all are apparently
resting together in the happiest sort of
unity. Occasionally walrus flops into
the water and sinks lcisurely into the
depths, while others will be seen
emerging thc-cfrom and climbing up
on the ice.
The bear becomes hungry and de-
cides he will dine with the walr,ls that
day. He rises to his launches and sways
himself heavily upon all tours. After
yawri and a stretch he sauntcrs to the
nearest walrus and swings his power
full paw in a crushing blow on it's
head, instantly killing the animal. He
then proceeds leisurely to make COM
Portable dinner off the unfortunate OBJ
jcct of his selection. This perform
ance, apparently, does not startlc the
others. They continue to bask I'M
disturbed, seemingly Indifferent to the
fate of their comradc and awaiting
their turn like stoics. The female wal
rus with young, however, does not toll
crate the presence of the bear. She
regards him with merited suspicion,
and promptly takes to the water with
her offspring on his appearance.

A Thrush,s odd Fancy.

A young Wilson thrush taken from
the nest last summer and raised by
hand has bath and n run every morn
ing on my floor with all the other birds,
says writer in Harper's Young People.
A few days ago he had his freedom, as
usual, while l was at breakfast. On nv
return glance at Specky disclosed
something hanging from his bill an
inch or more in length. The bird. was
caught, examined, and it was found
that the little scamp had swallowed a
piece of elastic cord which it had found
in the sewing basket. The rubber was
covered with white cloth, and 1 sup
pose the foolish bird had mistaken this
object for n fine big worm. Even the
short time it had been in the birds
stomach the lower half of it had balled,
and only by careful management was
it finally extracted. It measured six
inches in length and was as big around
as the coarsest wrapping Irvine. 1t is
pleasant to add that the Wilson thrush
sang rs usual next morning.

Mr.. sLubeE, The MEDIUM.
Tho Poet Browning Detected an IMPOSE
ton on HiA WIfe.

The Poet Browning Detected an Hmposi-
tion on His Wife.
Mr.. Frederick Greenwood, in his per-
sonal recollections, written for the
'Realm," tells the following story:
Every body who lives with books has
heard that Robert Browning's 'Sludge,
the Medium reflected upon Home, and
most people have also heard that the
celebrated creature succeeded in bring
ing Mrs. Browning under his influence
completely. But tho trick that unde-
ceived her 1--WE must suppose) is not so
well known. 1t may have got into
print, but, if so, I, for one, have never
seen it, and tell the story as it was told
by Browning himself. Home had been
about the Brownings o good deal, knew
many people known to them; was, in
his tea-party way, an agreeable sort of
person.; and there were seances here
and seances there; and said the poet,
casting vague look about the room to
express his bewildcrment, Il don't know
how it was. I did my best, but little
by little he gained her over to believ-
ing in him; how much to my distress,
imaginer After awhile Home found q
yet moro excellent way of working on
little child by death, and, her own
wishes running out to- embrace the
promise, he began to hint that some day
he would bring the little ones spirit
into her presence. But he was slow in
performing this promise-natura for,
otherwise, he would have lost the nd
vantage of an excited expectation,
often stimulated and as often baf1led.
At last an evening was named when
the mothers yearning should DO
satisfied. In the customary way, light
was shut out of tho room when the
three sat down, and tho usual rap
pings and questionings and invoca-
tions went on for time, and then
then the child's spirit was to ap-
pear. And, sure enough, there did
arise above the edge of the table some
thing that was whittier than the dark,
that seemed to have n motion of it's
own and the luminousness of q living
thing, and That might vertically be
what poor Mrs. Browning fancicd it.
But, conscious of her trembling state of
mind her husband was in another
guess sort of passion. Il suddenly
sprang up, dashed my arm across tho
table, and took hold of-what do YOU
think? The scoundrcl's obscene foot
naked' The flaming anger in which
Browning finished the story-after SO
many years, too-left no doubt about
what happened next to the celebrated
medium-IIomc. He was instantly ind
literally kicked out of the house; his
shoe and stocking after him, no doubt"

The Plntc Process Said to Render Ice en-
tlrcly Free from Microbes.

The Pinto Process Said to Render Ice en-
tirciy Free from Microbes.
a very novel combination of interests
is now being consummatcd in some of
the western cities in the union of plants
built for the production of light with
plants for the manufacture of ice. the
same companies intending to operate the
two plants as joint enterprise. This
idea has also taken root at home,
and the plans for n gas and ice plant in
nearby city are already in an ad-
vanced state of preparation.
This new development of the artificial
ice business has been brought about
largely by the improvements made in
the process of its manufacture, which
have not only materially improved the
quality of the product, but reduced its
cost TO n point which seems to assure a
very large profit even at price much
below that possible TO those who get
their supply from natures stock.
1t is claimed that the "platc" process
enables the product to be made entirely
free from impurity of any sort, freezing
from plate outward, tending to expel
all the impurities which by the ''can"
process of freezing from the four sides
of the cake are lodged in the center of
the block. The plate" process obvi:
ates also all of the necessity for raising
the temperature of the water before it
is frozen and the best results SO far
gained by the plate" process indicate
a product of ten and fivc-eighths tons
of ice from single ton of coal where
artificial heat is demanded in supplying
| power for the manufacture
In the "can" process the results are
said to have never exceeded seven tons
of ice to ton of coal and the average
product has been much less than this
proportion. The plate" process ncces-
states a heavier investment in the
original plant, but gives higher per-
centage of return upon its cost when
once in operation.

TIPS IN ENGLAND.
Gnmekeepers Scorn Anything Less Than
n Efve-Pound Note.

Ffve-Pound Note.
A retired Anglo-Indian officer has
published his notions on the subject of
"tips." Thaclseray's Col. Newcome, it
will be remembered, made sort Of
royal progress through England on his
return from long sojourn in the east,
rcwarding postboys with gold and maxi
ing walters happy with handfuls of
silver, says the London Daily News.
This reminds The Anglo-Indian officer
that there arc no tippers SO hardened
and profuse as Anglo-Indian tippers. It
is SO novel for them to be waited on by
white faces that they feel inclined to
reward the most trifling service. They
are, moreover, pleased to be at homo
again, and touched with the civility
they meet with in their journeyings to
and fro their hands are everlastingly in
their pockets.
The retired Indian officer does not
object to tips in the abstract, but he
enters protest against the giving of
gold to any domestic in house where
one has been staying. It spells the
market and Is unfair to those with
slender purses. Five shillings, he con-
siders, is q sufficient reward for q little
extra trouble. This is very well, but
what about the gamekeepers-a large
class, as some of us know to our cost
who are accustomed to return the
shooting guests sovereign with polite
intimation that they never accept less
than paper"
