Tho Story Of Canned Salmon.

The fish are swimming near tho surface
now, and if they look up they will sec
upon every pole which rises from the wall
of mesh either hawk, an eagle or great
gull ready to pounce upon them They
dive and try to swim under the weed.
They cannot. The water is shallow, and
the weed rises from the very bottom.
Meanwhile hawks and eagles are busy, a
panic ensues, a few fish dart through the
narrow way. 1t is more open beyond, and,
after all, it leads in tie right direction.
The general impulse is to go forward. No
one wants to turn back, and, like sheep,
they follow their leaders through the gates
of death, for after this it is all over with
the salmon. Before long the wide pool
narrows again. Again a straight way lies
beyond them, and before long they are
crowding and jostling each other in u
pound 90 feet by 30 feet, where they stay,
hopclessly confused and dashing wildly
from side to side until u steamer comes
along with scow in tow. On the scow is
a crane. Chains from the crane are hitched
on to the net which is Eelow tho pound,
and some thousands of strong, free fish,
who had an hour ago the whole sea to
swim in, arc drawn up to the surface and
ladled out in scoop nets, knocked on the
head, thrown on the scow and carried off
to the American canneries at Point Rob-
erts, where they go through u sausage ma
chine and become canned salmon. -

Did the Romans Smoke?

Coltsfoot, or the leaves of the lettuce,
being slightly narcotic would form a
harmless make believe for the good folk
who persuade themselves that they could
not sleep wink were they deprived Of
their evening comfort Ages ago both
Greeks and Romans, according to Dios-
coridcs ard Pliny, found comfort in slnok
ing through a reed or pipe the dried leaves
of coltsfoot, which relieved them Of old
coughs and difficult breathing. We can
picture the leglonary in Britain's bleak
atmosphere, while pacing the Roman wall,
trying to console himself in his lonely
vigil with the vapor from his "elphin
pipe fragments of which have been
found among the ruins Of those early
memorials to the Scots persistent deter
mination to travel southwark.
And as to the lettuce, it has been famous
since the time OF Galen (Claudius Calcnus),
who asserts that he found relief from sleep
lessness by taking it at night. Regardless
Of these things the nicotian epicuIe Of to-
day enjoys tie inestimable advantage OF
luxrriating in the delicate AROMA Of the
Cuban leaf, while fencying himself waited
on his upward way to Nirvana. The
charming simplicity that leads to this
ideal conception of existence is most re-
freshing. The being so lost to the outer

LIGHT CUIRAssIERs
Preliminary Steps Taken for Organizing
Crack Cavalry Company

Rumors of the organization of new
cavalry troop on radically different lines
from the one now in commission. have
been afioat for several weeks past. Much
dissatisfaction and lack of harmony
has existed among some Of the factions
of troop d. What was then only ru-
NOR has now crystallized itself into a
certainty, and the Los Angeles Light
Cuirassiers are reality. .
The cognomen is rather taking. Much
secresy has been maintained in regard
to the organizing of such company.
The reason of so much mystery being
observed was the feaf that the plans
would fall through. Even the place of
meeting was to be kept dead secret.
however caught on" to the news The
chosen few held a meeting Saturday
night in the Office of prominent young
society man not far from the city hall.
Another will be Neld next week to perfect
the arrangements. A committee of
membership was organized, civil Off
GERS elected, such as temporary chair
man, who later on will be superseded
by the commander of the troop, the mil
itary law requiring him to act in that
capacity; secretary, etc., were also
elected. 1t was decided to limit the
membership for one year to forty. There
will be fifteen charter members. 1t is
proposed to make this the premier COM
pany of the city and if the ideas Of
some of the organizers are carried out,
inside of two months Los Angeles will
be able to boast of a crack miiV .ary or
| ganization in every respect. The roster
will include only young men of the
| highest social standing. Being con-
| genial, it follows that certain amount
of harmony will prevail. The uniform

have been reading, selected last Tues
day evening as fair night to make i
test of the sentiment prevailing here as
l could see 1t for myself.
II first visited the Mckinley club, that
being it's regular meeting night, and as
l understand the usual manner OF
attracting attention adopted by the club
was in vogue that evening, being large
drum corps making much noise on the
street corner, / was somewhat surprised
on finding about eighty persons present
listening to a fine orator expounding the
gold gospel to this small number OF peo-
pie. l made inquiries as to who the
speaker was and was told that he was
new conner here, and man who had
splendid reputation as an orator, which
he is, and one who has been accustomed
TO speak to his thousands. ON learning
this l felt sorry for his position ana
how disappointed he must have peen 10
be greeted by such small number, ana
how little return he was favored with in
response to his beating the air. / next
visited the Silver Wigwam, where was
simply surprised to find gathered there
an audience of over 1000 listening 10
some local speaker of no great reputa-
ton, and at every mention OF Bryan
name the air was filled with hurrahs
and the enthusiasm was OF the soul STIR
ring nature that showed the people s
interest 1 then wandered less than half
block to the rooms of the Silver Re-
publican club, which meets every Tues
day evening, and to my great surprise
/ there saw a hall holding about 50l
packed to the doors listening to negro,
and the enthusiasm at this hall was as
marked as at any of the meetings
have yet attended.
after my visit to these three clubs
and at the latter meetings 1t is only just
to say no bands or drum corps were
necessary to draw a crowd, simply the
ordinary newspaper announcements OF
these meetings were made in the two
champions of the silver cause, the Her
aid and Record.
Does it seem from the above state
ments that the silver craze is dying out
and especially to further learn that tht
