STALE FISH SCRAMBLE.
Curious Saturday Night Affair in thu
. Streets OF Patorann

Curious Saturday Night Affair in the
T.. Streets OF Pa,crson.
''Darktpwn ,Scrilnmage" is the title
given TO an interesting performance that
takes place in Paterson, N. j., late ey-
cry Saturday night or rather early Sun
day morning In the market district on
lower Main street. For almost half q
century the same performance has oc-
CURED, and many of the older residents
of the city cannot remember when it be-
gan. The "scrimmage" that has caused
so much trouble. and in many cases
winds up with bloodshed, is in the strug-
gle for the old fish that storekeepers
cannot sell and do not care to carry
over.
Just as the hour of II strikes on Sat-
urday night the stores begin to close and
the clerks throw the fish into the street
1t Is then that the scrimmage begins
among the colored folk Of the poorer
classes. Long before the hour of II
these colored people gather around the
lower end of the city with their baskets
and bags. What they do with the fish
in one Saturday night thnn would keep
six ordinary families for n week. But
they all seem delighted to fight, and take
all they can get. Many shad has been
pulled apart in the struggle and the own
ership afterward settled with Il razor
light in River street alley.
F.. The custom of getting fish tlnder these
dltflculties has been going on for so many
years that the people Of Paterson pay
little attention TO it. Some men have
been known i'll days gone by to buy fish
and meat Of the best kind and throw it
into the street just to see the scramble.

Beef and Bad TEMPER.

One deplorable result of excessive
meat-eating in England is the ill-tempcr
which is !: chronic moral complaint
among us. In no country, I believe, is
so miserable by the ill-temDer of those
who are obliged to live together as in
England. If we compare domestic life
and manners in England with those of
other countries where meat does not
form such an integral article of diet,
notable improvement will be re-
marked In less meat-eating France
urbanity is the rule of the home; in
Japan l never heard rude angry words
spoken by any but Englishmen. l am
strongly of the opinion that the ll-tempcr
of the English is caused in a great meas
urc by too abundant meat dietary
combined with sedentary life. The half
oxidized products of albumen circulating
in the blood produce both mental and
moral distrubances-St. James Gazette.

foreigner placed an advertisement in the
personal column of morning newspaper
few days ago, requesting information
as to the whereabouts of his father, who
had left his family in Europe years ago,
and had been heard from last in San
Francisco
\ certain private detective with an
eye to business noticed the ADVERTISE
ment, and in due course of time an agent
connected with his bureau called upon
the more or less distinguished young
foreigner and informed him that should
he call at the office he could make ar
engagements to have his father found.
He did no. After a long talk with the
head of the bureau, to whom he gave
full particulars about his missing parent,
he was informed that his father could
undoubtedly be found, and that the
charges would be $25 as Il starter and

We Commonly Enjoy.
A chemist who is nearly as learned as
the Medicii in all the subtle secrets of
scent, sHid not long ago: II wonder
when the world at large will come to
realize there is very much more in per
fumes than meets the nose? I mean
scents have other properties than those
of which the olfactory sense takes cog
nizance., For example, the smell of
roses, thyme. bcrgamot, Glove pinks,
some of the honeysuckles, grapes, both
blossom and fruit; peach and plum bios
sones, arc both tonic and prophylactic.
They add to the ozone of environment,
either by giving it. off themselves or
liberatihg it from other elements of the
atmosphere. Contrawise, nearly all the
lily family, tuberoses, ,neroli-which is
oil Of orange hOwers-violets and nearly
all the artificial perfumes are depres-
SAINTS and irritant to the nerves and the
mucous membrane.
Musk is to many constitutions slow
poison-hence the danger of cheap per-
fumes. Musk is the basis of them ali.
1t must be, since it has so great Quali-
ty of fixing other odors. 4 very little of
the scent substance goes a. long way if
fixed with musk. Do you know grain

TWENTY MILLION STARS

Omer's Telescope.
Within the twehty-four hours which
elapse from one sunrise until another,
the astronomers Of the world have not
less than 2O,OOO,OOO stars within the
range of their powerful telescopes,
which today point out in all directions
toward the blue canopy which overhaigs
the earth. These bright shining, silvery,
disks are not itlfnitesimal points Of light

but each is now known to be d burning

colony of planets. each of these 90, UOO,-
600 communities of the skies having it's
allotted part to perform in the economy
of nature. When we consider that the:
nearest of these is 25O,OOV times rs far
away from It's as our own light and life
giver, and that each of those planetary
colonies is from 1O,O0O,00O to 100000
600 miles from some other family of
swinging worlds, we begin to get some
light conception of the grandeur and
magnifcence Of the universe. Another
thought in this connection. Each of these
2O,OOO,OOO suns is known to be moving
somewhere through illiinitable space,
taking it's brood of worlds with it, Some
of them travelling upward Of 100000

facts as these that have caused the
writer to often remark that no brain can

Tho steepest Route for Passehgef Rail.
way In Tho World
The new route UP the precipitous sides
OF Lookout mountain, recently conlplet-

way in the world;
The road is fifteen-sixteenths of 4 milo

The maximum grade is 72 feet to th,,

world for passenger traffic.
There are two other inclines which ap-
proach in point of steepness the new

ascent of Mount Vesuvius and a section
Of street railway in Pittsburg, Pa.
Both of these latter have an average
incline of about 60 degrees.
The cut through the bluff at the ton
OF the, mountain is very steep. The
power house is at the top of the mount
ain. There are three SO-horsepower boil
ers and two engines, each of IS horse
power. -
There are two cables, III inches IN
diameter, attached to either end ITO one.
OF the two cars. -
The attachment is SO made that if

engages with a wooden guard rail bolteti
to the track, and wedges tighter and
tighter with any downward motion of
