HABITS OF THE sHAD.

The shad spends part of its life at sea
and part Of 1t in fresh water. At the
approach of the spawning season it
comes in from the sea and seeks the
fresh water streams to spawn; at the
close of this season it goes to sea again,
there to remain until the spawning sea-
son again returns.
1t is not known absolutely whether
the shad remains in deep water in the
ocean off the approach of the river
whence 1t came, or whether in winter 1t
goes South into warmer waters but It is
commonly believed that when the shad
returns from whatever point at sea it
may TO fresh water come, it returns TO
the river in which 1t was born, bat a
percentage of the shad do not return; it
may be a great percentage.
tits certainly the expectation when
shad fry are placed in such a river as
tile Hudson that the young fish which
survive and go to sea will return to the
Hudson; here the shores of Long Island
and New Jersey would serve as a great
funnel to guide the fish, if they needed
guidance, to the opening to the bay and
river.
1t is not supposed, however, that the
sbad of a river basin, like that of Chesa-
peake bay, for example, return each
group to its W particular stream; in
Chesapeake bay shad would come in
from the sea together, but once inside
the bay they would be likely to seek
each the most convenient of the streams
emptying into it.
Shad have sometimes been caught in
New York bay in the early yart of the
season with the o much advanced.
These may be simply individual cases
of early maturity in shad belonging
here; shad correspondipgly late have
been caught here. Roe shad have been
taken in the bay as late as August, but
generally the shad come in with the roe
in condition that might be expected in
fish that knew where they we're going
and when they were going to get there,
and fishermen incline to think of the
early shad with the advance roe that it
is one that from some cause perhaps
stress of water, has overrun its river.
That the shad does not always seek
its W river is plainly shown on the
Pacific coast, where the shad is not ma.
tive, but was introduced from the East.
Shad were planted there chiefly in the
Sacramento river, but they have now
spread all along the coast as far north
as southern Alaska. There is, however,
along the Pacific coast a cold current
which the shad does not seek to pass; it
is found in the bays and estuaries, and
can he caught the year round, and the
natural barrier that prevents its max
ing an Ofing has doubtless led to its
general movement along the coast.

pleasure in recommending Chamberlain's
Pain Balm for rheumatism, as l know from
personal experience that it will do all that
is claimed for it. A year ago this spring
my brother was laid up in bed with inilam-

The fist application of Chamberlain's Pain
Balm eased the pain and the use Ofone bot
