Alleged Cause OF Intemperance.

l think that intemperance reformers
would do we'll to consider more than
they do the causes that lead to the
drinking habit and endeavor II possible
to combat these. Instead of this they
trust to lectures and the closing Of pub
lie houses ard all such nonsense. There
are in my village of about l 1000 inhabi-
tants at least fifteen inns. Now, | be-
lieve that If all were closed but one
drinking would 20 on just the same,
and that one single innkeeper would
make his fortune. 1t is a curious thing
to say perhaps, but it is true that some
men are born a glass too low. Their
nerves are finely strung; they are east
ly raised to joy and easily cast down.
These men or women are very apt to
become drunkards. This is the reason
that 80 many geniuses go to the bad.
Ill health il another cause of intern
perance, tiredness and fatigue, dyspep'
STA, too jolly company, billiards and

/ could name a score more, but last,
though not least, come the want oil
sympathy at home and a scolding,
sulking or nagging wife. -Edingburp

There was such a vacant look in the

him to be s~emi-idiotic. Turning to the
District Attorney he said: II don't

crat. This was the case of John Adams,
who took the oath and became Presi-
dent of the Senate and Vice President
of the United States nearly a month be-
fore Washington's first Inauguration
it was the case of Willard Fillmore,
who, it is said, took the oath on Sun
day, March A, failing on that day of
the week in 1S49, while Taylor, the
President elect, being a rigid Sabbath
rian, did not permit himself to be
sworn until Monday.
1t is said that in 1877, when March 4
again fell on Sunday, Wheeler, the
Vice President elect, took the oath on
that day, while Hayes, having religi-
Gus scruples, put off the matter until
Monday. Of these cases, however,
the most peculiar was that of 1889,
when, the Government, having just
been put in operation, presented the
curious spectacle of a vice President
without a President. At the time,
however, the matter seems to have at
tracted little attention or remark, and
is now remembered only as a historical

Strongest Rope.

Given an equal number of strands to
make up the rope, and each OF the same
circumference, it may b~e,readily shown
that wire, twisted into rope form, will
make a rope so stro1g as to admit of
no comparison even with the best
white hemp rope. Twisted hempen
cords will sustain STAG pounds if the
rope be one inch thick; but one eigth
of an inch in diometer of iron will sus-
tain more than one inch in circumfer-
ence of hemp rope. No rope, whatever
its, material, could bear comparison
with an inch rope made of piano steel
wire, such a rope being able to bear
no less than 26S, 900 pounds or nearly
1870 tons, before it could be torn by a
dead weight Cincinnati Enquirer.

FOR FLORIDA FISHERIES.
Return of Special Commission Sent
nv the Government.

A special commission from the Fish Conn
mission has Just returned from study OF
the fisheries of Florida, especially those Of
the south coast, both on the Atlantic and
Gulf sides and OF the island waters, which
contain come Of the richest fisheries in the
State.
The party consisted DR.. Smith and Prof.
Everman. TheirrepOrt has not yet beenmade
public. but will be presented to Congress at
its coming session. one OF the rccOmmenda-
tions VIII relate to establishing a hatchery
and experiment station in Florida. The
state has as yet no regularly organized
fish commission Of its own; ho stations or
hatcherieS and novery thorough code oflaws
for The preServatln OF ITS pTCllllc fisheries.
At present the annual production, including
the sponge and yster fisheries ON the coast,
amounts to something over 81 900. 900.
Strange as it may seem, in spite OF the
fame achieved by the lordl tarpun and the
aristocratic renown of the toothsOme POM
panc, the backbone Of the Florida fisheries
is the despise and plebian mullet. There
are more mullet caught i'll Florida than in
any other State nd more mullct than of all
other fish in Florida combined.
The mullet is an Ishmaelite among fish.
Every mans hand is against him. He is
caught with hand lines on the coast and
erS, and he forms the staple article of
food for the poorer population of the State
The white crackers live on him winter
and summer; negroes wax fat on him. He
furnishes the bone and Sinew that culti-
Yates rice fields and orange groves. In
fact, he is such an important factor in the
domestic economy OF the State and in its
exports that the despised mullet may be
said to have had quite a hand, or rather,
a fin, in the material progress of this
country.
the big silyery tarpon, the king of
American game fishes, while not intrin-
sically valuable, probably brings more mon
ey into the State in the shape OF wealthy
Northern sportsnen than any other one of
the finny products of the Southern waters.
The pompano is also rapidly becoming
valuable II is the only export fish and
is shipped in ice to the Northern markets
The State has begun to realize the value
of its fisheries and the necessity OF pro-
tecting them. Laws have been passed
prohibiting net fishing in the inland waters
for a term OF years, but Il lack of Il state
commission and the general ignorance of
scientific fish culture among the people
make the laws difficult to enforce.
The catching is mostly by primitive
methods. reef fishing with hand lines be-
ing the principal one. The deadly purse
net is used on the coast, however. andthere
is good dealof waste eandnectllesS destruc-
ton.
All these matters will be touched upon
by the commission in its report to Con
gress, especially the question OF locating
a government station some where in the
State. The investigators feel that the
Florida fisheries are Il valuable institu-
ton, and that they may he greatly i'm
proved by culture and protection.
