SURGEONS IN COMMERCE.
Some of the Points of singuiarity About
the Fish.


A sturgeon is naturally an inhabi.
tant of the large rivers and brackish
water Of the north temperate zone,
more particularly Of Europe and
America, says the San Francisco
Chronicle. The Sacramento, the San
Joaquin, Russian River and the Co.
lumbia on the west and the Hudson
and Delaware on the east are very
favorable to its production in great
quantities,
The importance of the fishery TO
San Francisco is shown by the amount
brought into the market, in the first
three months of last year, being 49,.
7Gl pounds.
This interesting and curious fish has
many points of singularity. It's armed
exterior skeleton seems to point to its
being one of the few descendants of
the ganoid or armor-plated fishes of
the prehistoric ages. The position of
the mouth is much the same as in the
shark family, but its form and func-
ton is rather that of the remora, or
sucker family. The flesh, too, is re-
markable as being reddish and yellow
and part white. English fshmongers
call it beef and veal" In that coun-
try is usually cooked by baking with
stuffing OF fine herbs.
There are several varieties of the
sturgeon family. the sturgeon proper
(accipenser sturio), the beluga and the
sterlet being the principal, the two lat
ter kinds belonging to the Russian
waters.
Some twenty-five years ago there
were millions Of surgeons in San
Francisco bay and tributary waters,
principally in the mouths Of the Sac
ramento and San Joaquin rivers, where
they lay on the muddy bottom feeding
on clans and bottom fishes. The
Chinese, who have all inordinate fond
ness for gelatinous substances, such rs
isinglass, sea swallow nests, trepang,
etc, imported from China q very
deadly hook for capturing the stur-
geon, which they caught solely for
the marrow in its peculiar backbone.
They stripped out the backbone and
threw away the rest Some of the
backb bones were sent to China, where
isnglass is made from them and also
highly tenacious glue. The princi-
pal use, however, III for making CELIA
tinous soup.

Reni Courage.

All men have their own ideas Of
what constitutes courage. i believe
our firemen ana some Of our police
men are as heroic men as ever
breathed, but ms ances OF true cour-
age are rare The policeman is too
often the mere active principle Of his
uniform and shield, his club and re-
volver. Firemen fight fire as ordinary
persons fight flies. II is second ma
ture. They brave danger SO con
tinually that it becomes mere routine,
utterly devoid OF excitement. A brave
man is he who, seeing q fellow crea-
ture in the grasp of death, goes to the
rescue. Those who brave the under
tow to save drowning person, who
enter a yellow fever or cholera-rav-
aged district to nurse the helpless
victims Of either dread disease, who
throw themselves in front of IA trolley
car to rescue child from the very
jaws Of death-they are the brave
people. Bravery, my brethren, is
homely. II does not lie in spectacu-
lar performances aud theatrical stunts.
One Of the bravest acts Of recent days
occurred on the Brooklyn bridge, when
II man volunteeredto be let down by a
rope to the bottom Of the tower well
to get the dead body Of his companion.
The gases were killing, and the deed
nearly cost him his life. There's no
medal for such as he. New York Sun.

SMILE WHENEVER YOU CAM

When things don't go to suit you
And the world seems upside down,
Don't waste your time in frettlng,
But drive away that frown;
Since life IL oft perplexing,
lis much the wisest plan
To bear all trials bravely
And smile whene'er you can.
Why should you dread the morrow,
And thus despoil today
For when you borrow trouble
You always have to pay.
1t is a good old maxim
Which should be often preached
Don't cross the bridge before you
Until the bridge Is reached.

You might be spared much signing
you would keep in mind
The thought that good and evil
Are always here combined.
There must be something wanting,
And, though you roll in wealth,
You may miss from your casket
That precious jewel-health.
And though you're strong and sturdy
You may have an empty purse
And earth has many trials

But whether JOY or sorrow
Fill up your mortal span.
Twill make your pathway brighter
To smile Whenever you can.
