With the discovery Of the Nondike,
with all its INTERPRETATIONS, comes also
the practical discovery of q fish found
along the Alaskan ShoreS which Il is
said will furnish food, light, heat and
medicine to the prospectors who have
gone into the new FL Dorado. This
fish is of the s1nelt variety, but larger
and fatter. They are caught in nets
easily and on being caught are found
to be of rich green color on the back
variegated with blue and with golden
reflections ON the belly. On being held
UP to the light they are almost trans
parent. On being caught these fish are
dried and stored. When the Alaskan is
showed in and thout q iighthe simply
inserts the tail OF one of these fish in
crack in the table and touches match
to it's nose. It gives out clear three
candle power light. The backbone Is
largely formed of phosphorus, which
not only causes it to ignite easily, but
also accounts for the strength OF the
fame and the heat developed. The sub
stance of the fish, largely fat, retards
the rapid burning, as the tallow acts
in an ordinary candle. The fish is also
valuable as food. Still another use to
which it may be put is as substitute
for cod liver oil, which, aiding the nat
ural heat Of the body, serves to protect
against the severe cold. 1t is to be
hoped that scientists will discover a
way by which the skin Of this fish may
be made into clothing and it's backbone
sharpened into miners picks.-Phila-

A writer in a leading magazine has
made the prophecy that in 800 years
from now the world will know only
three English, Russian and
Chinese. The English language will
be spoken all over North and South

COURT DAY IN EARLY KANSAS.

How a Mild-ManneFed Sheriff In
duced Spectators to Disarm,
LIN the early days of Kansas, when
the state was divided into nine dis
tricts instead of 30, Judge William
Brown presided over the Ninth judicial
district, which took in all the territory
from Marion county to Colorado on the
west. and the Indian territory on the
south. The judges district was bigger
than the state of Massachusetts,, and, be-
sides calling for several thousand miles
Of travel by stage every year, it en-
braced some wild and woolly territory.
When he arrived at Medicine Lodge to
hold his first term, he found each jury
man with a belt full Of cartridges en-
circling his waist, and at least one large
IA" slung from his hip. The litigants
and spectators were attired in the same
manner, and to Judge Brown, who is
emphatically man Of peace, the pros
pect seemed uncomfortably waTlike.
He mildly suggested to the sheriff that
he persuade the crowd to lay aside their
arms during the sitting Of the court
The sheriff, a well-lnown character by
the name of Reuben Lake, was noted
for his plain speaking and profanity.
"Now, sheriff, /" said the Judge, with
mild look through his spectacles, "J

men who are iurore, and others who
have business i'm court, that it would
perhaps be better If they would remove

1862-1997.

Twas five and thirty years ago
Yes, five and thirty years; how slow
The mind doth turn and harken back
Along that smoke enshrouded track
TO five and thirty years ago.
In Hampton roads a clear March
morn,
In Hampton roads scene forlorn;
Two mighty ships that side by side
But yesterday swept DER the tide,
Now lie beneath the ripping wave.
With mastheads swaying DER oach
grave
While close at hand in sorest strait
The Minnesota waits her fate;
For through tho mists, from Ports
mouth town,
The dread destroyer streameth down.
All, then, when men felt grim despair,
And watched the scene with stony
stare. '#
From round the point deliyeranoe
came!
Was ever seen queerer craft? .,...
A hummock on submerged raft!
And yet she boldly sought the path
And faced the plated thing OF wrath,
And fought and won eternal fame.

Ye know the splendid story we'll
Twas fearless David come once

The mighty giant, filed with dread,
Charged all in vain, and turned and
fed;
And through the northland far away
The trembling wires exulting say:
@The Monitor hath won the day
And buried the foe to shore"
All, when the ram had turned and
fled
Prone lay the Captain as if dead;
Conclusion fierce had laid him low
That morn in March so long ago.
Again in quiet pose he lies,
For death hath sealed those fearless
eyes
And death renews his wreath Of
fame
And gifts anew brave Wordep's name.
While countless hearts with loyal
glow
Recall Goliath's overthrow
In Hampton roads 80 long ago.

If we are in tho midst Of prosperity,
why ia it that the cost Of living has
been 80 greatly increased?
Why are all the prime necessities
Of life and the principal staples 30
much higher than year ago?
Corn is 8 to 10 per cent higher.
Granulated sugar is over IL per
cent higher.
Molasses is per cent to per cent
higher.
Pork is over 1915 per cent higher.
Mutton is over % per cent higher.
Potatoes are over 100 per cent
higher.
Apples are more than 100 per cent
higher.
Butter is moro than Is per cent
higher.
Eggs are over 10 per cent higher.
Wool is from 80 per cent to 100 per
cent higher, and the trade in wooden
goods is struggling to get the price of
WOODEN cloths up to par with wool.
Who is to pay for this increased cost
of WOODEN cloths?
Hides, boots and shoes are 40 per
cent higher. Is this Of supreme ben
eft to the great majority?
If we are extremely prosperous and
daily growing more 30, how does it
happen that printing cloths, involv-
ing one of our greatest manufactur-
ing industries, has Just reached the
lowest price ever recorded, viz, 5-16
centsP
How does it happen that the cotton
market has continued to sag, if a
home market only is desirable? And
how does it happen that the cotton
people are setting up the argument
that the low price of cotton ID largely
due to the fact that Europe has not
been buying freely?
If a home market is the key note Of
prosperity. how does it happen that
all the good that has come to the
farmers Of the West from higher
