Caught Fish by tho Bushel.

An abundantly stored fishing
ground, where several varieties Of the
Anny tribe con be scooped out Of the
water with baskets as easily as shovel.
ing coke with q pitchfork, has been
discovered near Holmesburg Junction.
The new fishing ground is a pool
located in an abandoned quarry hole
near Pennypack Creek. The quarry
covers an area of half On acre or more,
and the water, with which it was re.
Gently filed to a depth Of twenty-five
feet, ran in through a shallow and
narrow ditch from the creek. The
carriers. who have been engaged for
some weeks in hauling dirt away from
the deep cut being dug on Rhawn
street to do away with the grade CROSS
ing of the Pennsylvania Railroad al
that point, have been dumping earth
into the quarry at the rate Of 1000
carloads per day. Over 10000 cart
loeds have thus been thrown into the
pool, which has consequently been
growing smaller every day. By Satur.
day both the surface and the depth Of
the water had been so far reduced that
there was but few square yards Of II
left, and the bottom could almost be
seen. The pool was then found to be
teeming with toothsome fish, which
had presumably found their way IN
through the ditch from the Penny
pack.

Tattooing is not nearly as common
among savages as it was before the in.
auence of missionaries began to be
felt. Many of the natives Of the
South Pacific islands, however, still
keep up the practice. Every native
boy, when he reaches the age of eight
years, must submit to the needle. II
is peculiar fact that all Samoans are
tattooed alike. Devices representing
animals are never used. The tattoo
marks run from the waist to the
knees in intersecting lines resembling
tho small checks sometimes seen il
cloth fabrics. The lines are so Close
together that at distance q nude ma
tive appears to be clad in pair o.
blue knickerbockers.
As an illustration of the capacity o.
: the Samoan to endure pain, the fol
: lowing incident will suffice: A boy
eighteen years old, named Mua, in
jured his foot on a jagged piece O
coral. Gangrene set in and he real
lied that his leg would have to be Gu
off to save his life. No surgeon wa
at hand and the boy decided to per
, form the operation Of amputation him
self. He tied a string tightly arount
his leg above the knee, and, seating
himself on the ground, severed tn

may seem, the lad recovered. Sa

rhn ate,s olosed Doors.

The Senate, says the Springfield
RebA6hcaN. refuses to debate the
Hawaiian treaty with open doors.
This treaty turns the. nation from
its long settled policy Of maintain
ing a compact and homogene-
Gus landed estate into a career of
territorial acquisition and colonial
conquest whose end no man can
tell. No question has been pre-
sented in many day touching so
closely the integrity and future of
the Republic. But the people are
to have no deciding voice in a
matter OF such vital import. They
are not even to be allowed to hear
the discussion on which the final
and irrevocable disposition OF the
discussion is to turn. The Senate,
itself popularity unrepresentative
body, will proceed with closed
doors. The Chief Executive, un-
instructed ~ the people. e.negotiates
treaty reversing long estab-
Iished and vital national policy,
and it is whisked into secret con-
clave Of Senators to be adopted or
rejected. The situation at Wash
ington reveals in startling light the
fact that under the Constitution OF
the nation the people have been
given no voice in the disposition
OF certain questions OF the most
fundamental consequence to the
Government. In a boasted gov
ernment of the people, supposedly
deriving all of its powers from
their consent, the people stand
voiceless and helpless.
