SALMON CULTURE.
Mysterious Failure of the Effort to stock
the Atlantic Coast Streams.

An interesting review of salmon fish
conditions in this country is made in re-
mort of the United States fish commission

that although nature evidently has de-
signed that the quinnat salmon sha!l not

LAMPS AND CANDLES.
There Is an Art In the Managing of
Them.


The most effective cleansing sub
stance for the containers and wick ap
paratus consists of ordinary wood ash.
This has a peculiar effect upon petro-
leum, crystal and other oils of the same
kind Rub the ashes well all over the
parts that require cleaning and polish
or wipe it off with clean, soft cloth.
This is very simple method and obvi-
ates the use of water, which may prove
q serious difficulty, especially If the OPP
orator is not very particular as regards
the drying process. This treatment
should not, however, entirely do away
with periodical boiling Of the differ
ent parts of the lamp with strong soda,
but the regular use of wood ash should
make the washing last resource and
an altogether rare necessity.
The strictest cleanliness i'll every de-
! tail concerning lamps is OF the greatest
impoltance not only to insure good
light free from smell, but also as pre-
ventive against danger. Odd bits OF
wick allowed to collect anywhere near
the flame, for instance, are objection
able from every point of view.
Lamps that are but rarely used should
not be left with the wick to become sat
urated through contact with the OIL
The best plan is to empty the container,
clean it as above, dry the wick If 1t Is
new. and put it aside i'll box, into
which dust cannot penetrate, till 1t il

GRANTS SCCRETiVENESS.
The Responsibility of His Position Forced
Him to Guard His Utterances.

General Horace Porter, in Cam
paigning With Grant" in The Century,
says concerning General Grants secre-
tiveness:
After the general had set some miles |
out on the marcn from Cold Harbor an |
officer of rank joined him, and as they |
rode along began to explain plan
which he had sketched, providing for
the construction Of another line OF in
trenchments some distance in rear OF the
| lines then held by us, to be used in case
| the army should at any time want to
| fall back and move toward the James
and should be attacked while with
drawing. The general kept on smoking
| his cigar, listened to the proposition for
, time and then quietly remarked to the
astonished officer, 1.-THE army has al
ready pulled out from the enemy's front
and is now on it's march TO the James.
This is mentioned as an instance or
how well his secrets could be kept. He
had never been secretive man until the
positions of responsibility in which he
was placed compelled him to be chary
