TON OF BLACK SEA FEI.S.


Cfisheld, Md, Dec. 2S-During the
past two days Messrs. Stewart & Jen-
kins. fish dealers here, have shipped
over one ton of cells to New York.
These eeels are known as the black sea
eel, and do not begin TO run until there
is frost, or about the middle of OctO-
ber Some of them will weigh i've
pounds. and it is stated that some have
been caught which tipped the scales at
nine pounds. They are quite different
from the ordinary eel. This firm has a
large pound in POcomOke sound Of
finely woven meshes, and these eels are
taken there in large quantities, always
commanding a good price in market.
On being taken from the pounds they
are placed ait once in live-cars, where
they are kept alive until shipped. They
seem to be somewhat Of a mystery to
the fishermen here. No bait is ever
found in them as in the ordinary eel,
and it is not known upon what they
feed.

SPEAKING TO THE DEAF.
A Mistake Is Often Made In Trying TO
Enunciate Very Plainly.

Many people, and / am sorry to say
some teachers If the deaf, fail to realize
jim practice at least-that speech is not
as clearly visible to the eye as it is audi
BILE to the ear, and think that by speak
ing slowly, word by word, and opening
their mouths to the widest extent, they
will render the task of the speech reader
easier. AS a matter of fact they render
it all the more difficult. A child in
school may learn to understand a teach
err who mouths his words in this man
ner, but this ability is of no value to
him when he leaves school. Indeed per-
fectly natural, deliberate speech is easier
to understand than the exaggerated
form of articulation which people are
apt to use the moment they know they
are talking to o totally deaf person.
People who depend entirely upon
their speech reading for understanding
others have requested me, when intro
ducing them to strangers, not to say
that they were deaf, because they find
it easier TO read the lips when the per-
son speaking is not aware that he is be-
ing understood in that way. | have in
my acquaintance a young man educated
wholly by this method who travels "a
great deal and picks up acqCaintances
on the steamer or on the train just as
people do vino possess al their faculties.

unusually bright, yet whose speech is

NEED FOR SLEEP.

The Most Important Compensation Tor
An Effects OF Fntiguc.
By far the most important compensa.
tion for all effects of fatigue is sleep.

inert, develops when awake a mass OF
mental effort which he cannot afford
continuously without suffering. We

gree to which the activity of the brain
sinks the more rapid and more COM

The mental vigor Of most men is usu-
ally maintained at a certain height for
the longest time in the forenoon. Evil
deuce Of fatigue come on later at this
time of day than in the evening, when
the store of force in our brain has been
already considerably drawn upon by the
whole days work. If no recovery by
sleep is enjoyed or it is imperfect, the
consequences will invariably make
themselves evident the next day in a

in a rise in the personal susceptibility
to fatigue. The rapidity with which one
of the persons | experimental upon could
perform his task in addition sank about
a third after a nights journey by rail-
way with insufficient sleep. Another
experimenter could detect the effects of
keeping himself awake at night in a
gradual decrease of vigor lasting through
four days. This observation was all the
more surprising because the subject was
not conscious of the long duration of the
disturbance and was first made aware OF
it incidentally by the results Of contin-
ued measurements on the auses Of the
manifestations of fatigue. Popular Sci

GREAT GRAPE INDUSTRY.
The Shores of Lake Chautauqua Supply
Half the Country.

The management of the vineyard is
an interesting study and Il which to
be successful requires technical knowl-
edge. In the large vineyards, as o rule,
the owner himself gives personal super
vision to every detail. Sometimes q
manager or overseer performs these du-
ties. Ono OF the largest growers in this
section tells me that the most successful
grower is tie foreigner, who, with his
family Of eight or ten, and leases
or buys % or so acres of land, each
member of the family having his or her
part in the work to perform from spring
until picking time, while the winter is
devoted to the making Of the baskets.
Thus no outside expenditure is incurred.
and when the grapes are sold the pro-
ceeds return to tho family ns the profit
ON the individual labor CT each member,
quite ia contrast with the large owDer,
who is compelled to hire help to do each
little thing in addition to buying his
baskets.
Tho Concord grape is the only variety
of any consequence raised in this region,
and soma idea of the magnitude of the
business carried on may be had when it
is known that the shipments for one
year from Chautauqua county alone
will amount to $500 carloads, 5000
baskets Of 10 pounds each in each car.
These are taken from the grower by
some one of the numerous growers as
sooiations, whose business it is 10 find a
market. Strange as it may seem, it is
nevertheless true that three-fourths Of
them so to points west Of Chicago, while
the other one-fourth travels eastward.
The making of baskets is an impor-
tant item. Many factories are employed.
The price ranges from 2 to 2 ~ cents per
basket. Thus the grower who would find
bis business in any way profitable must,
in addition to the cost of the basket,
realize at least l cent per pound for his
grapes. while today it is a common
thing to find a ten pound basket ON the
retail market slow sale at 10 cents.
Thus we find that the utmost care must
be taken in the management of a vine
yard to make it profitable. -ChaEtau-

A PUZzLlNG PARIS HOUSE.
Tt Has Two spiral Stairways Which Look
Like One at Times.

AANN Oto - AA2N
One of the greatest curiosities Of Paris
is the house with the double staircase.
1t does not figure in the guidebook and
is not among the places Of interest that
are photographed, bat, for all that, it
is OF greater interest than many of the
things that come within this class.
This house has entrances at 35 Rue
Radziyill and at is Rue de Valois. 1t is
in the quarter of the Palais Royal-that
palace now given up largely to restau-
rants and cheap jewelry shops, and once
the residence OF the most licentious of
French princes, the regent d'Orleans.
The quarter is one of the most central
in Paris, and all Americans who have
been in Paris know it, but the house,
which is a few steps from the Palais
Royal, the Ruede Rivoli and the Louvre,
escapes general attention because ii faces
On dark and narrow streets.
Each staircase begins on opposite sides
of the central space of the house and is
continued separate right up to the roof.
They are in "a graceful spiral form. The
house is nine stories high, a very con-
AOtShN ~ OAtO Oh OlN. \ 1Ou
look up the wall you can hardly realize
chat there is more than n stairway.
The result of this arrangement in that
II stairway takes you TO the first floor
apartment on the right, the second floor
on the left, and SO on. The other stair
way takes you to the first floor on the
left, the second floor on the right, and
so on. Yen must be very careful to
choose the right stairway when you are
going to an apartment, otherwise you
may mount as far as the sixth floor and
find yourself on the wrong side of the
house. 1t is just as we'll then to go TO
the top and come down by the other
stairway.
1t is difficult to describe the pnzzling
effect of this continuance on those who
gee it for the first time. No more in
g%epious continuance for exciting pro-
family and causing confusion was ever
designed by architect. The beauty lies
in its simplicity. which gives it an adj
vantage over secret doors and such la
borious devices.
1t is a favorite trick with those who
know the house to take moderately in
toxicated friends TO see il. The man
who knows tells his friend TO go up
stairs. Then he goes up himself by the
opposite stairway. When he has gone
up about two stories, he leans over the
balustrade and tells his friend to join
him. The inebriate endeavors to do SO,
running up and down stairs, but never
ablo to catch the other. New York

WHY 1T WAS HOT.
The Hash Epicure's Initial Experience
with a Chatting Dish.


II had heard Of chatting dishes for
years, said Smiley Williams, ''but the
one ! saw for the first time foored me
completely.
II never thought much about the
blamed things, but somehow ! supposed
a chatting dish was some sort of concern
that they grated things in--something
that rubbed together and mashed things.
"'Phe other night, though, Bolton
and I went into a Madison street res
taurant for dinner. You know I always
have q sneaking liking for hash OF any
kind, and sc does Bolton. Bolton order
ed turkey hash for two, and the waiter
brought it on in a swell sort of silver
dish nearly as tall as d cake basket. 1t
had a tight cover. and when we opened
it If steamed like a 40 horsepower boil
er blowing off.
Il loaded up Bottoms plate, and in
the first pass at it he took the skin off
his tongue, it was SD hot.
Just like these internal places, ;
Bolton growled. Anything you've got
TO eat is blistering hot, while coffee is
always stone cold.
"After awhile Bolton took some more
hash and burned his tongue again.
"'Holy Noses, he said, whats got
into hat hash?'
81 told him nobody was expected TO
know anything about restaurant hash,
especially the fellow who was eating it,
but be wasn't satisfied.
"Well, we kept On eating hash until
we had enough. And do you know that
hash left in the dish was hotter than it
was at the start?
"'Well,' said Bolton, L wouldn't
have believed my eyes, but with most
of the skin off my tongue I've got to
give it up Then he called the waiter.
Say he said, in a low tone, IN
give you a quarter e you'll tell me
what in blazes is the matter with that
hash.
Beg pahdon, sah?'
"'What keeps that hash SO all fired
hot?'
Why, sab, that's a chatting dish,

That's how | found out that a chat
ing dish is a silver fruit stand with a
fire built under it. Chicago Record.

A ROYAL CORNER.
How the Sacred, if Lonely, Precinct Was
Invaded by an American.

Invaded by an American.
An American attending a wedding re-
ception iii a great house in London con-
graduated bride and bridegroom aud
passed the usual compliments with the
host and hostess.
There was a great throng of guests.
and he could not hnger at the entrance
Of the drawing Room when there were
many behind him anxious to offer their
greetings.
Perceiving a quiet corner TO the right
o. the bride where a gentleman and a
lady were standing apart from the other
guests he went directly to it, unwit-
tingly coming to a stop between two
royal p~ersonages.
The American was not aware of the
fact that he was face to face with one of
the queens daughters and had turned
his back upon another member of the
royal family. He stood quietly looking
about, hoping TO see some acquaintance
i'll the company with whom he might
have a chat, and soon became uncom-
fortably conscious that he was attracting
attention and that the hostess and bride
were casting uneasy glances in the di-
rection Of the corner where he had taken
shelter. While the drawing room was
crowded, the company of guests with
u consent avoided the secluded corner
where he and his two royal companions
were stationed.
An acquaintance in the background
perceived his mistake, and coming with
in hailing distance motionad to him.
He left his two companions in exclusive
occupation of the corner, turning his
back upon both as he edged his way
through the throng, while everybody
stared at him. When he reached the
spot where his acquaintance was wait
ing for him, the stage whisper was
breathed into his ear:
"You have been poaching on royal
preserves. You are a privileged charac-
ter because you are ~ American, hut
no Englishman venturE to turn his back
upon a prince or a princess. People were
staring you out of countenance because
they took it for granted that you must
be a royal parsonage, yet they were I'M
able to identify YOU"
The answer might have been made
that every American is a sovereign by
the divine right of equality Of free cit
izenship. but this would have been a
meaningless pleasantly in an English
drawing room, where social etiquette
has a sanctity superior to loyalty to
democratic principle.
The American thanked his friend for
rescuing him from an embarrassing po-
sition, and then stood by and watched
the corner where royalty was isolated
from too close contact with the world
of wealth and fashion.
No guest approached the royal pair.
Their presence was an act of condescen-
sion to the host and hostess, and they
remained on exhibition as the patrons
of this social function without having
their corner invaded. Everybody was
careful not to approach them too close
ly, and there was a general sense of re-
lief when they departed and the neces-
sity for backing away from them on side
tracks was removed. YOUTHS Ccnpan-
