Work and Wages-The Tariff.

There are two things which deeply
and personally interest the workingmen !;
they are work and wages They are not
satisfied with irregular work at made
quate wages; they want the American
standard applied to both. They are not
satisfied with steady work and poor
wages; they want regular employment
at remunerative wages, with steady
work; they want to be paid i'll sound
money; they do not want to lose any
part Of their hard earnings through
poor dollars, and they do not want to
be paid i'll dollars whose value can only
be ascertained by the daily market re-
ports. Whatever work they now have is
paid i'll good money, and no complaint
is made. Oh chat score. Ehoy are salts
fled with the money, but they are not
satisfied with either the Ecant work or
the reduced wages. They are satisfied
with the present dollar bill, but they
are not satisfied with the present tariff

to make living. But in the winter
when the steam trawlers are laid mp fish
are scarce and bring good prices. Then
it is that the ice fisherman comes for
ward and supplies the market
His preparations are not elaborate, and
his whole equipment does not cost more
than $50 or $50. In the first place he
builds or buys "shanty. This is
commonly a miniature house about 3
feet square and feet in height. 1t is
made of light pine wood and is either
lined or covered with tarred paper. 1t
has "peak" roof, one door and no
windows. In the floor is trapdoor. A
low bunk that will serve for seat or
bed is built ON one side. In one corner
is a small sheet iron stove set in a shall
low box of sand.
An AK, lot of fish lines. spear or
two and bushel or so of coal complete
his outfit. When the fisherman is ready
to start, he puts his little house ON run
ners and hauls it out ON the ice. II the
wind is against him this is a hard job,
but if it is with him his house slides
along easily.
When the fishing ground is reached,
he selects location, chops hole in the
ice and moves his house over it. The
runners are removed and the light shell
ter banked around with snow and ice so
that it may not be blown away. Then
he is all ready to put down his lines.
The house is necessary for several rea-
sons. Often the fisherman stays out ON
the ice for weeks at time, and his
shanty is his temporary home. 1t also
provides him with a needed shelter, for
the wind that comes in after sweeping
over miles of ice and water would be too
much for any one but an Eskimo to
stand. But with ever so small fire in
the stove his little shanty can be kept as
warm as toast.
Another use of the tiny house is to
keep out the light. This enables the fish
erman to look for some distance down
into the clear water. If he intends to
spear lake trout, he first puts out de-
coy. This is either live minnow or a
small artificial herring, which he keeps
bobbing up and down. Tie passing
trout sees it and comes up to investi-
gate. This is fatal move for the trout,
for the fisherman has been sitting, spear
in hand, waiting for fish to appear out
Of the blue depths beneath. When one
does, there is flash of the spear and
the water is stained with red. The cap
tured trout is thrown out ON the ice.
where it quickly freezes as solid as a
stick of wood. Then the fisherman refills
his pipe and waits for another.
In fishing with hook and line for
pike, whitefish and the like minnows
and other kinds of bait are used. One
man will put down two or three lines

A Forest or Microbes,

Cheese, the supposed TO DO edible
milk curd of commerce, is the best soil
in the world fer microbes and bacteria,
and ON its surface flourish millions up
on millions of infnitesimal parasitic
plant growth. A microscopic eXamina-
tion of single gram of fresh cheese,
such as is usually sold at the grocer's,
proved that il contained not less than
80, 900 separate aud distinct specimens
of bacteria. After seven days this same
section of cheese was examined and
found to contain $4,000 separate and
individual bacteria. Professor de Kahn
says that cheese, properly sliced and
exposed, will within week be implant-
ed with a bacterial growth containing
more separate specimens than there are
trees upon the whole of the earth's sur
face. st Louis Republic.

inc. In the spring these disasters are
more frequent. as the fishermen are loath
to abandon their means of livelihood.
Life in an ice fishing village is
unique. In the evening the men get to-
gether in the various shanties and
smoke, drink cheap whisky and play
cards. Music from a dozen accordions,
jewsharps and mouth organs usually en-
livens the evening air. Outside the wind
may whistle and the snow drive in blind
ing sheets, but inside the shanties there
are warmth and a certain amount Of
comfort if not luxury.
A diversion sometimes occurs when a
shanty is blown over. Then if the sur
face of the ice be smooth and the wind
high the unlucky fisherman has a most
exciting ride. With 60 mile an hour
gale roaring behind it sliding shanty
will occasionally acquire the speed of a
railroad train. If the fisherman happens
to be inside when his house is overturn-
ed and started off on such trip, all he
can do is to crawl out through the trap
door and let his temporary home go nm
til it stops or is swept into the lake.
The shanties are usually well anchored
when the fishing is good, for the catch
is always stored outside, and the big
trout, frozen hard and stiff, are piled up
like cordwood. When the fisherman gets
pile big enough to make trip to the
shore with, he loads up big sled and
starts off for the nearest market. Some
times wholesale dealers drive ont and
buy the trout on the ice.
These ice villages are rather unstable.
