TRouT's NEST ON A RAILROAD.

Fish Hatchery and Com
Quoted In Corporations Interest.
A fish hatchery run in connection
with a railroad is something new, but it
is good business and is sure to bring.
lots of travel to the San Francisco &
North Pacific railway, which has under
taken an enterprise of this sort. The
company has established a hatchery
for trout in Gibson canyon, which is a
mile from the courthouse in Ukiah.
The hatchery has a capacity for several
million eggs. AT the present time $780,
600 are in various stages of develop
ment The output this year will be
from 1000, 600 to 100000.
In Marin, Sonoma, Mendocino and
Lake counties there are over 800
streams, making 5000 miles water
length, 5000 of which are open for ex-
cellent fishing.
For the past four years this road has
been stocking it's streams with trout,
using from 100000 to 100000 n year.
The results of this work have been more
than satisfactory. The management of
the San Francisco g. North Pacific rail-
way have now determined to increase
the supply of trout for its streams, and
Tor Inat reason nave erected TINS hatch
cry. AS far as known, it is the only
railroad in the United States which is
running its own hatchery for the pur-
pose of stocking streams in it's section.
1t was done through n spirit of enter
prise, not only new to California, but
new to the whole country. The numer-
GUS catches being made in that section
prove the value of the work already
done. With the increased facilities this
section will be n veritabIe sportsmen's
paradise. There are few men and won
en- who do not take great delight in
fishing for the gamy trout of the coast
as found in the mountain streams, and
there is Ito one who does not enjoy u
mess of trout. While affording sport
for the people this road is also giving
to the public a most valuable food.
The city of Ukian has taken great in
terest in this hatchery, and is more
than liberal in its attentions. a splen-
did, wide road of an easy grade has
been opened clear through to the hatch
cry. Only a mile from the courthouse
andamile and a quarter from the depot,
it is within easy walking distance. The
hatchery is really within the city limits
and the road in dusty weather will be
kept sprinkled. The hatchery is situ-
ated about midway up the canyon

PLATTER THE sITTERs' VANITY.
Photographs Now Made to Suit the
Fancy of the InordinateIy Vain.

photographs Now Made to Suit the
Fancy of the Unfortunately Vain.
The old saying that photographs do
not lie" must go to join h growing
host of exploded notions. It may have
been true when photography was new
and u~ndeveloped, but the fact remains
that at the present time photographs
may be and are made to lie with great
frequency and facility. The methods
by which this result is accomplished
are more various and extensive than
most persons suspect. Retouching in
it's simplest form, such as smoothing
out deficiencies in the complexion, is
we'll known to everybody, but it Is not
so generally understood that even the
shape of the features may be altered
by skillful work with the negative.
Lines of figure II also frequently
changed. The writer has seen and com-
pared the original proof and the fin
ished picture of a well-known actress,
famous for her beauty. In the proof
hollows appear in the neck, and the
lines of the shoulders, though grace
full, leave something still to be desired
in the way of perfect roundness and
symmetry. The finished photograph
shows a transformation. The hollows
are gone and the Irregularities of the
shoulder lines have become curves of
perfect beauty. 1t is a lie, doubtless,
but a pleasing and satisfactory one.
So much for the results of retouch-
ing. But there are tricks of posing
which pervert the truth just as COM
pletely. BY throwing an object OF part
of an object SO far into the foreground
or background that it is out of focus it
may be made to appear of a size wholly
different from it's real proportions. The
most familiar instance of this trick is
seen in the pictures of wonderful
catches of fish. The honest fisherman
holds the string out at arms length in
front of his body, so that, compared
with himself, his trophies appear huge.
A o~ne-pound trout passes itself off gay
ly rs a f~ive-pounder, and other varie-
ties gain in apparent size in the same
satisfactory ratio.
When professional athletes, "strong
men" Or prize fighters come before the
camera the same focusing device is en-
ployed. Hercules throws out his arms,
folded, well in front of his chest, and in
the picture the development of his BIZ
ceps is almost terrifying in its proper
lions. If he desires to give prominence
to the muscles of his shoulders and up
per back, he stands sidewise, so as to
bring them nearest the lens, and by
maneuvering and posing a little any
part of the body which it is desired to
emphasize may be made to appear well
developed.-N. Y. Tribune.

stakes They tried for Heaven and
won it. There stretches a hand
from Heaven toward the head of the
worst offender. 1t is a hand, not
clinched as if to smite, but ~outspread
as if to drop a benediction.
Other seas have a shore and may be
fathomed, but the sea of Gods love
eternity has not plummet to strike the
bottom, and immensely no ironbound
shore to confine it. Its tides are lifted
by the heart of infinite compassion.
Its waves are the hosannahs of the re-
deemed. The argosies that sail on it
drop anchor at last amid the thunder
ing salvo of eternal victory. But alas
for that man who sits down to the
final game of life and puts his immor-
tai sou on the ace, while the angels
of God keep the tally-board; and after
kings, and queens, and knaves, and
spades are ''shufiied" and cut" and
the game is ended, lowering and inn
pending worlds discover that he has
lost it, the faro-bank of eternal dark
ness clutching down into it's wallet all
the blood-stained wagers.

The aneen,s n,et..on,er.

In the Contemporary Review Mrs.
Emily Crawford, writing her reminis-
oences of Queen Victoria, thus describes
h purchase of one of the cleverest nit
tie canvases Meissonier ever painted.
The occasion of the buying of the pio-
ture was a visit to the Palais de I'm
dustrie in Paris. Prince Albert sim
gled out as worthy of admiration a hor-
rid little painting that had every quail
ity manipulation could give-Le Rixie,'
or The Brawl.' Ruffians were shown
engaged in a deadly tussle. The tech
inique was marvellous. Meissonier up to
that time a struggling artist, was the
painter. The emperor bought the
painting behind the queens back for
$1,000, and presented it next day to
her husband as a birthday gift The
subject was inauspicious. 1t would
have startled an old Roman in thu
princes place" Certainly Prince Al,
bert had good taste, and so had Louis
Napoleon, as far as Meissonier Is con,
cerned.

PIanked whitensh and shad.

This method of cooking is, as u rule,
confined to club houses, where large
open fires are accessible, but 1 assure
my readers that a planked fish may be
served to perfection in the smallest
and most modest home in America.
The peculiar flavor impaired by the
heating plank makes the fish more de-
licious than when cooked in any other
way. If one has a gas stove the method
is quite simple, but the oven of u coal
range may also be used with success.
Secure a two-inch plank the size of
the oven, made from hard wood, oak
or hickory; when ready to use put it
in the oven until it is so hot that you
cannot bear your hand on it for an
instant. Have the fish split down the
back; put in, skin down, on the hot
plank; dust with salt and pepper and
haste with melted butter. In an ordi-
nary coal stove, put it on the wen bot
tom, close the oven door and bake for
30 minutes, basting two or three times.
When the fish is done, take it from the
oven, garnish with parsley and lemon,
and send it to the table on the plank,
placed on a Japanese laquer tray, just
a little larger than the plank. White
fish may be planked in the same way.

A Unique Set of RuIes In n Buckley
HnfAI

Hotel.
They were sitting in the lobby at
Murphy's, talking about the striking
p~eculiarities of some of the hotels they
had been up against in the course of
their travels.
In the party were a red-headed drum
mer from Arkansas, a travelling rail
road man and a spindle-shanked man
who sells oil out of Pittsburgh. The
deal got around TO the man from Ar
kansas, and what he had to say was
this:
1--WE had to stand for some queer
rules and regulations in my time, but
the most unique code of rules govern
ing a hotel 1 ever had sprung on me
was at the T~allewanda hotel, in Col
,lege Corner, o. 1 remember each one
of them distinctly to this day. They
were posted in this order:
81. Board, $50 per week, meals extra.
"2. Breakfast at five, dinner at six,
supper at seven.
SO. Guests are requested not to speak
to the dumb waiter.
81. Guests willing to get up without
being called can have ~self-raising flour
for supper.
IS. The hotel is surrounded by a
beautiful cemetery. Hearses to hire, rs
cents q day.
80. Guests wishing to do a little
driving will find a hammer and nails
in the closet.
81. If your room gets too warm open
the window and see the fire escape.
"s. If you are fond of athletics and
like good jumping lift the mattress and
see the bed spring.
SO. If your lamp goes cut take a
feather out of the pillow; that's light
enough for any room.
40. Anyone troubled with a night
mare will find a halter on the bedpost.
I'll. Don't pick a quarrel with the
clerk. His brother is the chief of police
and his father the mayor of the town.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4-The monthly
statement issued by the director of the
mint shows that during July, 1897, the
coinage executed at the United States
mints amounted to SOTO, $50. as follows:
Gold, Ss77, 600; silver, $3.50, 900; minor
coins, $23, $50. No standard silver dol
lars were coined. It is stated, how
ever, that there is no significance In
this. In explanation of the fact that
no standard dollars were coined, 1t
was said that the supply on hand Is
sufficient for all needs, and, further,
that the stock Of minor coins has run
very low. In order to meet the pres
emit and prospective demands of trade,
the mints were occupied in coming
subsidiary silver, and probably would
SO continue through h month of Au-
nuat.
