STORY OF THE SALMON.
Ascends tile River in Autumn to De-
posit the Eegs

Ascends tile River in Autumn to De-
posit the Eggs.
In the autumn time and onward to
the beginning of the next year the
mother salmon ascends the rivers to de-
posit her eggs and thus to secure the
continuance of her race, says Cham
bers' Journal. In connection with this
periodical visit or visits to the river
must be mentioned very curious fact
The idea is entertained very strongly
by some authorities that salmon IN
variably returns to it's native river OF
that in which it was bred. 1t has even
been asserted by fishermen that, when
several rivers enter the sea IN one
stream (as at Bonar bridge, for exam
ple) the salmon bred in each river VIII
pass back into their own water ana
will avoid the strange streams. me
late Frank Buckland, a strong belleY-
er in the instinct of the fish, regarded
the sense of smell as that which led
1t to it's native river. Perhaps the
truth is that for the most part salmon
do return to their own rivers, but that
the practice and habit are not neces-
sarily invariable. We know the fishes
certainly swim great distances along
coastlinea, where they are captured IN
stake and bag nets, and it may well
be the case that now and then ilsE
will turn into river that is near IN
preference to seeking its own and dis
tant water Arrived in her river the
mother salmon begins to scoop out
kind of trench in the gravel OF the
stream. This she effects by ploWlng
! into the gravel with her body rms
trench is to be the nursery OF heF
young. The eggs are laid in the fur-
row and are duly fertilized by the male
salmon. Then the trench is filled IN
by the efforts of both parents, the eggs
are covered with gravel, and the mound
| thus formed is called, in the fishers
language, a "redd." How many eggs
mother salmon will deposit is, OF
course, a difficult question to deter
mine, but stock calculation maintains
that she produces about 500 eggs Tor
every pounds she weighs. Each egg
in its diameter measures about quar-
| ter of an inch, and it Is estimated that
25,0 600 eggs go to a gallon.

MAJOR M'klNLEY TALKS.
Addresses the AfrO-Ameri
cans at Canton.


Major Mckinley addressed a
delegation of goo Afro Americans
from northern Ohio cities, includ-
ing the Cleveland IOverture
Rifles. last Tuesday afternoon.
He complimented the race on its
splendid progress and continuing,
said
We have q great country and
we must keep it great. The post
which the United States must oc-
cnpy both in wages and industries,
and in the integrity of its finances
and currency must be at the head
Of the nations. To that place the
honor Of the people OF the country
must restore it this year.
They have the opportunity that
they have wished for since 1892;
will they meet in this year, 1896:
We want in the United States
neither cheap money nor cheap
labor. We will have neither the
one nor the other. We must no
forget that nothing is cheap to the
American people which comes
from abroad when it intrudes upon
our own laborers.
We are opposed to any policy
which increases the number of un-
employed in the United States,
even if it does give us cheaper for
eign goods; and we are opposed
to any policy which degrades
American manhood that we may
have cheaper products made either
at home or abroad.
Having reduced the pay Of la
Dor, it is now proposed to reduce
the price Of money in which labor
is paid.
The money question presents
itself to me in this homely
fashion:
If tree coinage OF silver means a
SO cent dollar, then it is not an
honest dollar. If tree coinage
means 100 cent dollar equal to
gold dollars, as some of its advo-
Gates assert, we will not then have
cheap dollars, but dollars Just like
those we now nave, and which
will be as hard to get. In which
case free coinage will not help the
debtor or make 1t easier for him
to pay his debts.
The most nn American OF all
propositions observable is the one
which seeks to array labor against
capital, employer against en-
ployed. 1t is most nnpatriotic
and is frlught with the greatest
peril to all concerned.
We are all political equals here

MRS. PARVENU

to Have Things in Style
Detroit Free Press: Mrs. Parvenu
received her lady caller with gusn and
bad grammar while dismissing the maid
with an injunction to see that all the
solid silver and jewels were placed IN
the safe.
Now, set right down and make your
self to hum as she made capaclous
lap for the pet cat. I'm terribly glad
to see you, fur we've got settled now,

canopy that I like it is to have COM

"Yes, and it cost us a pot of money.
Ezry amt much fur style, but jist said
to him, what's the use of gettin' rich
if you don't enjoy it after and he
in jist as he alters does But it's be |
a botheration from the start. When
the feller what was tryin' to sell us the
house called, | heered him tell EZry
that there was fine picture moldin'

| was damp and We wouldn't have it..
Ezry jist laughed, but made him have
the matter looked up"
The lady caller has tact and she pre-
| tended to recall something in her own
household experience while having a
good laugh.
"Then had trouble with Ezry about
| his bed The furnitoor man told me
that one of these here wire screen beds
was jist the thing, so ordered one for
Ezry's boodwore. He occupied it one
night and then he jist kicked over the
| dashboard. He vowed he'd jist 'sleave
sleep ON harrar and | had to have 4
tick put on the screen bed
Again the lady visitor had to quickly
tell story to excuse her laughter.
But when Mrs. Parvenu took her visi-
tor upstairs, showed her a bathtub alive
with gold fish, and called it an ant
quarian,' the tactful lady had to make
her escape, and when she leaned
against the fence around the corner for
five minutes, passersby wondered what
so dainty and SO respectable looking a
| woman could have been celebrating.

We believe that as Senator
Thurston says that after forty days
the silver question will be so thin
that it will not be talked of and
the tariff will be the main issue, as
it is now, but the free silver silver
populist has been evading the
main issue. The only question is
to open our closed factories, work
shops and restore lost confidence,
and there will be plenty money to
circulate. You can not restore
that confidence by visionary en-
thusiats or through political dema-
gogues as Weaver, Tillman, Debs,
