WANTED A SECOND CATCH.

There once lived a man and his wife at St. Ann's, the only town of the isl and of Alderney, and the pair were not on the best of terms.
 One fine morning the man was miss ing and nothing was heard of him for a fortnight. The wife pretended to be in great distress, so much so that when his body was found in a small bay sur rounded by rocks at low water no one liked to tell her-more especially as the finding was accompanied with what they thought would shock her dread fully, for when the poor fellow was pulled out of the water a great quan tity of small conger cells fell on the sands from his body; the fact was, he was full of them!
 At last a friend undertook to break the intelligence and receive the widows instructions.
 This he did, not emitting to men tion the cells.
 The story told he asked what were her wishes, as he was anxious, to- gether with the rest of her friends, to obey her orders.
 The widow removed her handker- chief from her eyes and murmured out in the Channel Island Anglo-Norman tongue:
 Send home the cells and set him again; I am very fond of eels!"-Spare Moments.

Notwithstanding the generous deliveries this week, yet there Is an exceptional scarcity Of all grades suitable for domestic uses; We'll ington, Seattle and Coos Bay shipments have all been taken out of first hands into the re- tailers yards. Our protracted spell of frosty weather has largely Increased the consump- tion for house purposes. IT our Coast coal pro ducers should see fit to take advantage of the present condition of our fuel market they could very readily mark up prices. and housekeepers would be the sufferers. Steam coals are in fair supply. and change of values need be feared for the present, large consumers are so IIcited to make contracts at current rates and do not appear to be very anxious buyers. IT Ye do not have some general rains shortly, to induce grain carriers to seek this port for the next seasons crop, there will assuredly be stiffening in coal freights.
