SURGEONS IN COMMERCE.

Some of the Points of singu1arity About
the Fish.
The sturgeon is naturally an in
habitant of the large rivers and
brackish water of the north temper
ate zone, more particularly of En-
rope and America. The Sacrament
to, the San Joaquin, Russian river
and the Columbia on the west and
the Hudson and Delaware on the
east are very favorable to ite pro-
duction in great quantities.
This interesting and curious fish
has many points of singularity. Its
armed exterior skeleton seems to
point to it's being one of the few de-
scendants 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
it's form and function are rather
that of the remora, or sucker fam
lily. The flesh, too, is remarkable
as being a reddish and yellow and
part white. English fishmongers
call it "beef and veal.' In that
country it is usually cooked by bak-
ing with .stutfing of fine herbs.
There are several varieties Of the
sturgeon family, the sturgeon prop
or (Accipenser sturio), the beluga
and the sterlet being the principal,
the two latter kinds belonging to
the Russian waters.
Some Is years ago there were mil
lions of surgeons in San Francisco
bay and tributary waters, principal
ly in the mouths of the Sacramento
and San Joaquin rivers, where they
lay on the muddy bottom, feeding
on clans and bottom fishes The
Chinese, who have an inordinate
fondness for gelatinous substances,
such as isinglass, sea swallow nests,
trepang, etc., imported from China
a very deadly hook for capturing
the sturgeon, which they caught
solely for the marrow in it's peculiar
backbone. They stripped out the
backbone and threw away the rest.
Some of the backbones were semitic
China; where isinglass is made from
them and also a highly tenacious
glue. The principal use, however,
is for making gelatinous soup.-San

Growth of the South.

Where the proud city of Birming-
ham stands today there were in 1877
only wornout fields. Chattanooga
was dilapidated village. Atlanta
still sat in the ashes of the war.
Florida was almost as much of a
wilderness as in the days of Spanish
rule Texas had made no impress
sion upon the worlds markets as a
cotton producer. The states Of
Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas
were in poverty and despair because
of the miseries of the reconstruction
period. The coal and iron mines of
Tennessee, Alabama and Virginia
were practically undiscovered and
unopened. There was no serious
competition by any southern port
with New York and Boston for the
export and import trade. With a
single exec. ton there was not one
great railroad system in the south,
and that did not touch the south
eastern part.
Twenty years ago the manufac-
ture of cotton in the south was
wholly an infant industry, and cities
now known as textile working CEN
ters were mere trading posts at the
crossroads. The fruit and vegeta-
BILE business of Florida was go small
aa tn attract little attention. while
the fruit and melon business of
Georgia did not exist at all. South
ern farmers then bought their corn
and meats instead of raising them
as they do now, and the cotton crop

comparatively low prices and not
withstanding the cities have absorb-
ed so much Of the rural population,

the following to say:
Faith in the absolute solvency OF the
general government has created g. de-
mand for a postal savings department.
Since there Is about $70o, ,0oc lnoarded its
deposit and circulation would be of gen
eral advantage. Within two years at least
$1,000, 900 900 -uould be deposited, enabling
the government to bring the national
debt within the control Of citizens. Govern
ment would be made more stable by the
number of citizens that would make de-
posits in its own banks. Postal savings
banks have been introduced in all the
leading civilized countries with the excep-
Switzerland, and in Germany there are
many municipal savings banks. The pro-
position to establish postal savings banks
in Great Britain was first introduced In
parliament in 1907 but the measure was
not passed until 1861 when Gladstone car
ried it through. At the end of the first
year 1855 persons had deposited nearly
$40, QUO. Now one Of every seven per-
sons in England is depositor and the
total amount due them is close to $500,
100000. Deposits are limited to $3.50 per
year and investments may be made In
government stock equal to the amount de-
posted. No interest is allowed on deposits
that exceed $1,000 and the accommodations,
after that amount Is reached are invested
in government stock.

Curiosity.

NUT1O81Cys ..
Crowds representing innate hui
man curiosity gather easily in large
cities. A fairly good looking wagon
was driven hurriedly up to a place
on Diamond street one day recently,
says the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
In moment two boards had been
placed across the top of the vehicle
The six or seven men who stopped
to look on at the unusual proceeding
soon swelled to throng when four
small pillows were brought out and
deposited on the boards. whats

eager look in his eye, the remark
being addressed to a boy who had
swiftly climbed a pole. From his
vantage point the youngster made
.laconic answer, Dunno unless

At this point the two men at work
brought out and placed squarely on
the pillows something which looked
very much like stretoher. Every
body craned his or her neck for the
next appearance of the quiet work
men. The latter were not long in
coming. Between them, walking
very carefully, they carried large
mirror, which they placed on the
stretcher and then covered with
white cloth. In another instant
they had turned down toward Wood
street, and the most excited men in
the crowd looked dejectedly at each
other. A possible tragedy requiring

was deposited in the postal banks of Cam
ada nearly $3O,OOOOOO and nearly $780,
600 was paid in interest during the year.
There are also postal banks in Austria,
France, Belgium, Sweden, Russia, Hol-
land, New Zealand, Hawaii and Italy.
The system in vogue is practically the
same in all the countries. The only no
ticeable difference is in the amount that
may be taken from each depositor in one
year and the interest paid"

"Adamant" Wall Plaster i.
]. q. CAMPBELL, NJ. d..

Adamant is the result Of a life
work of scientific research, and has
gypsum for its base, from which, in
the process of manufacture, the sui
phuric acid and water of crystalli-
zation have been driven. It's com
position is such, therefore, that
upon the addition of water at the
time of use a complete sulphate of
lime is formed, and in a few hours
after being applied it becomes very
hard, and capable of thoroughly
resisting all the ordinary casualties
that prove so destructive to com
mon plaster. 1t becomes hard and
chemically complete in few hours,
while lime and sand require the ac-
tion of carbonic acid gas for many
years before the lime can return TO
a natural state. or carbonate Of
lime, and no process of carbonizing
lime artifcially has ever been dis
covered. 1t can be applied as well
in winter as in summer, frost not
affecting it, and it does not wet the
timbers. thus avoiding their shrink
ing and swelling. while by its use
the long delay ordinarily required
for rooms to become fit for occu-
pancy is made entirely unnecessary,
apartments having walls of this
material being ready for occupancy
Immediately 1t has fre-resisting
qualities superior to any other
plaster made, is hard, tough and
elastic, and costs but little more
than a good three-coat lime plas-
ter. Sold by III. Il. SEAvER,
