About Whitefish,

The whitefish Is found all over the
region of the great lakes. up to the
Arctic Sea. and even In connecting
rivers, but Is only in its prime north
of the As degree of latitude. Whiteflsh
from the lower lakes do not compare
with those caught in Lake Superior,
Georgian Bay or the st. Mary River,
where they are "scooped" from the
rapidly rushing current with long
handled scoop-nets.
In these Northern waters the white
fish often attains a weight Of ten
pounds and length of two and half
feet. The flesh should be firm and
fiaky, bluish-white in color, changing
to pure white on being boiled. The
whitefish of commerce frequently comes
from Lake Erie or Lake Ontario, and,
even when fresh. Is comparatively
tasteless.
Whitefish are considered more valu-
able than any other members Of the
salmon family in America, and fish
ing FOR them has become an enormous
industry. AS rule they are caught
In gill nets. A chain of nets Is used
sometimes ten miles long-each end
being attached to large. buoy, while
the other end is left at the mercy
Of the winds and the Httle-understood
lake currents. Hour after hour the
crews Of the fishing tugs work at
drawing in the nets, pulling" ias 1t is
called, and quite often the catch is
not confined to iish. Occasionally q
corpse is brought to the surface, and
old shoes and odds and ends thrown
overheard from passing steamers are
frequent finds.-St. Louis Star.

Tn. Rat, and the Missing Check.

A remarkable incident is brought to
our notice by the Bristol post-ofiice,
and, what Is more, 1t is story with a
moral. Some days ago letter contain
ing a check for upward Of $500 was
posted to a gentleman's business ad-
dress in the city, and although there
was proof that 1t was delivered the
same evening, the addressee complain
ed that the important missive had not
reached him. Subsequently, however,
1t occurred to him that as his business
premises were infested with rats, and
as everything put through the aperture
In the door, in the absence OF letter
box, dropped to the floor, the postal
authorities might not, after all, be re-
sponsible for the strange disappearance
OF the letter. A search which he insti-
tuted was completely successful. On
looking behind corn-bin he discovered
to his establishment two huge rats ac-
tually fighting for the possession Of a
dust-smeared envelope, which on being
opened was found to be none other
than the one that contained the check.

A Clever SiIyersmith.

"The late Bob Whitehead the silver
smith, will be much missed by ma
gicians," remarked an attache of a pro-
fessional magician, "for he coud always
be depended upon to fix up our proper
ties and apparatus and to keep the Sc
cret Of their operation to himself. He
was very, very clever at tinkering with
metal, as many in our business found
to our satisfaction. Whitehead made
much of the apparatus with which
Heller started on the road as a ma
gician. Heller, you may not remember,
was named Palmer when he originally
resided in this city, when he was the
organist at Epiphany Church. He did
nearly all his practising in the room
over the drug store at the corner of
Thirteenth and + streets. AS he
thought out the apparatus he needed
he gave his orders to Whitehead, who
put them into shape. The latter did
many hundred dollars of work for
Heller then and afterwards. White
head also did considerable jobbing dur
ing the last twenty-five years for
the late Professor Hermann and Pro-
fessor Wyman, the father of magicians,
and Professor Anderson, the wizard Of
the north, who was such an attraction
years ago.
Among the odds and ends recently
sold at auction in Whitehead's old curl
osity shop-and 1t sold for old metal,
by the pound-was the plant for one
of Heller's famous tricks. 1t never
worked satisfactorily, and was sent
back to Whitehead to be remade. 1t
was nearly completed when word was
received here that Heller had died. 1t
was the apparatus by which Heller APP
parently grew a tree of oranges from a
pot located in the midst of the audience.
The flower pot was filled with tubes, at
tached to the end of which was rub
Der balloon bag, which when blown up
resembled in color and size an orange.
The growing was done by pumping air
into the rubber oranges until they were
sufficiently large. The pump was a
bellows at the bottom of the pot, the
magician using the bellows. White
head had done over one hundred dol
lars worth of work on the apparatus"

FRED vRNToN's SMART DOG.

One of the smartest dogs in Chicago
belongs to Fred Venton, who lives at
1926 Halsted street. 1t Is black and.
white bulldog, and Fred has it so well
trained that it will trot as well as horse
in harness, stop when he shouts "Whoa"
and start when he says "Get up" He
has strong dogcart with his name painted
on it, and he says that he has often hauled
as much as 300 pounds of coal to one
load, the dog trottng off with it as easily
as If it was sawdust.
Freds dog is now 8 years old. 1t was
trained when it was s months old. Fred
doing all the work himself. 1t may be
of interest to other boys who have dogs
to know just how Fred succeeded. In
the first place, he secured tin can that
would rattle well and tied it to string.
Then he harnessed up the cog, and a
friend of his ran ahead and called it. The
moment the express wagon started Fred
dropped the can into it, and the rafting
which it made caused the dog to run all
the faster. When he wished to stop he
shouted whoa and lifted the can out o (
the cart at the same instant. In this way
the dog learned that when the can ratified
lie was to start. and when 1t stopped he
was to stop. Soon he would start and
stop without being called by boy in
front, and not long afterward Freds com.
mands whoa and Get up were
obeyed without the use OF the can.

Holidays the World Over.

A computation made short time ago
showed that among the European coun-
tries the two in which wages were
highest and the hours of labor least
were England and France, whereas the
two countries in which wages were
smallest and the hours of labor long
est were Italy and Russia. In some
countries of the world an explanation
of the apparent dearth Of progressive
industry among the inhabitants is to
be found, perhaps, in the recurrence of
holidays of a religious, patriotic or
purely social character, and many per-
sons who are familiar with the indus
trial usages in some cities of South
and Central America say that there the
number of holidays seems to exceed the
number of working days. There are in
some countries usually not fewer than
Q dozen church festivals; and there are
besides patriotic festivals. A similar
state of affairs exists in all Latin coun-
tries. Deducting the Sundays and holt
days, the number of working days in
the United States, exclusive Of the gulf
states, is 305. In Russia there are 267
working days; Great Britain has 278;
Portugal, 283; Spain, 200; Austria. 292;
Italy, 298; Bavaria, Belgium and Brazil,
300 each; Denmark, France, Norway,
Saxony, Switzerland and Wurtemburg,
302 each; Sweden, 304; Prussia and Ire
land, 305; the Netherlands, 30S; Hun
gary, 312.
1t has been found impossible to get
any accurate figures f.,m the South
American countries. but 200 Is the
maximum estimate OF actual working
days in many of them. or course, II
the number Of Sundays be subtracted
from the total number of days in a
year there are left 313, and IL one-third
Of the other days available for work
are set apart for holiday purposes 1t Is
perfectly clear why there should not
be more than 200 working days in a
year. In Anglo-Saxon countries and in
the United States the special effort Of
working men has been not to reduce
the days of labor. but the hours OF
labor in each day, and thus there has
been within the last twenty years a
larger reduction, really, Of working
time in the United States and In Great
Britain than in the Latin or Latin
American = countries. Free

bidder for 80 cents apiece. They had
been appraised at $40 each when the
bank failed; but. as they were ON the
outskirts OF place that lost its grip on
prosperity, they had nothing to keep
them above the level of farm land.
Farms In the western part OF Nebraska
and Kansas are in the same condition.
This has all resulted, not from the,
lack of effort hut from the fact that
not enough water has fallen in the

to make the crops grow. 1T Is not bad
judgment or politics. Kansas has lost
