THE STURGEON CATCH.

Canadians Say We Are to Blame for
Depletion in Lake of the Woods.
One of the most valuable of the Cana
dian island fisheries was the sturgeon
catch in the Lake of the Woods. 1t is
now learned that this splendid fish is
nearly exterminated in the lake as
result of the unchecked ravages of
fishermen during the last few seasons.
1t is reported that as much as three or
four carloads of offal and eggs fire.
quently pass over the Canadian Pacific
railroad from Rat Portage in one week.
Five or six years ago the eggs Of the
sturgeon were worth $40 to SIS l1eg.
The demand has now increased the
price to $50 keg. says the New York
Sun.
Dominion officials say that the decline
of this fishery can be traced directly
to American depredations. A small
corner of the Lake of the Woods lies
within American territory, and while,
the Canadian authorities say, they al
lowed only 40 nets altogether in the
lake itself, the Americans had not less
than 200 or 300, and were catching, in
their own territory, a much larger sup
ply than their Canadian competitors.
Therefore, when the dominion govern
ment saw that their efforts were futile
TO cope with the depredations Of the
A., el,ieans, they gave their own lessees
a free hand to take all the sturgeon they
could capture.

LiseoNs EARTHQUAKES.
A city That Is Raised over a sepul'
cher.


It is impossible 10 be long insLisbqp,
even nowadays, without meditating,
vainly enough, about the great earth
quake. The city is far more massive
now than it was in 1858. The thickness
Of the granite walls OF its churches and
houses is laudable from many aspects.
But this same substantially would
prove incredibly murderous il the
earthquake of 1855 were to repeat IT.
self. Perhaps they do well to have con-
fidence; perhaps they have done amiss.
Viewed from the Tagus, Lisbon of 1897
seems to offer tremendous scope for a
new seismic ruin. How her churches
and palaces on the hilltops and slopes
might be overturned upon the houses
and palaces between her hills With
anything like the same destructive
force as in 1855, Lisbon would now be
rendered a scene of almostirredeemable
chaos, and the loss of life would, Of
course, be appalling. But these are,
one may hope, mere dreams inspired by
the skeleton ribs of the church of the
Carmo on one of the city's hilltops. The
earthquake wrecked this church, like
so many others, and 1t is preserved as
a ruin, says Chambers Journal.
Some one estimated the loss of prop
erty here in the earthquake at 1885,
100000. The figures do not seem mod
est, when one remembers that Portugal
was then rich country. They include
also the solid little sum of e4,O00,000,
the value of the kings diamonds, which
went with one of the royal palaces.
These diamonds alone would now be ex-
tnemely acceptable to Portugal's i'm
poverished exchequer. If ever a city
was raised over a sepulcher, modern
Lisbon was. But, of course, it is late in
the day to be plaintive ON the subject
even If it were worth while at any time

FEEDING HABITS OF FISHES.

How the Club and the Trout Seize
Upon n Wandering Worm.
Worms are occasionally fed at the
aquarium to such fishes as eat them in
nature, including suckers and chubs
and sunfish and trout, and some others.
The worms are put into the tanks at
the top, to sink gradually through the
water until they are nipped up by some
fish.
The manner in which the fishes take
them varies with the habits of the
fishes, says the New York Sun. The
worm sinks slowly through the water,
and with but few twistings or turnings
of its body. A little club will nip
worm much slenderer, but it win be
longer, than itself, perhaps atabout the
middle of its length, and swim away
with it with the two ends free. Then
the worm does squirm, and the little
fish twists with excitement as it darts
Off with dts prey, but it holds on to it,
and finally makes away with it.
The trout, flashing upward like light
ming, snaps up the worm before it has
descended far into the water. The
worm disappears totally and instantly.
and at the instant of seizing it the trout
turns in an incredibly short space, and
with simply marvellous swiftness seek
ing cover again as it would do in nature.

SAVING TIME.
More and More Work Carried For

More and More Work Carried For
ward by Night Hs Wen as by Day.
The electric light on the lofty frame
work of great modern buildings under
construction is now familiar sight,
says the New York Sun. The work goes
on at night as well as by day, so that,
with it's new building completed, the
valuable land shall as soon as possible
again be made productive.
1t is common now in busy streets to
do work that involves tearing up the
street pavements, on underground
pipes, wires, and so on, at night; so that
the work may be done with the least In
terruption to traffic, and with the great
est facility as far as the work itself is
concerned.
And nowadays work on new pave
ments is carried on at night, to hurry It
to completion; simply to save time. 1t
may be, for example, that in a residence
street two shifts of men are employed
in laying an asphalt pavement and the
work goes right on continuously, day
and night. One might look down this
quiet street at three o'clock in the morn
ing and see the men at work by the
haring naphtha torches, and the big
steam roller moving back and forth just
the same as at three o'clock in the after
noon.
On occasion work on gas trenches
and other street work Is nowadays kept
right on at night. And all these things
are in keeping with the great modern
tendency to save time; to utilize every
minute and to waste nothing.

NO OLD MAIDS THERE.
An Everlasting Disgrace to Grscian
Girls.


An Everlasting Disgrace 10 Grecian
Girls.
In Greece It is considered an ever
lasting disgrace to remain an old maid.
Girls are betrothed often when still
tiny babies.
Marriages of love are absolutely un-
known-even more so than in France.
And the father is most particular that
the intended husband must have an am
pie provision to support a wife and
family. For the girl dowry is not so
important as In France, but certain
amount of linen and household furni-
ture is required. The whole training
and education of Greek girl is simply
a preparation to render her brilliant in
the society of the great world. Her
toilet is a subject of constant anxiety.
Although most Greek girls are natur-
ally very pretty, they begin to paint
and powder from a very early age
cheeks bright red, eyebrows and lashes
deepest black and veins delicately blue.
The result is that she is a withered old
woman at 40, and nowhere are uglier
women to be found than beneath the
blue skies of lovely Greece.
Next in Importance to beauty comes
languages. Every Greek family who
can afford it keeps a French nurse or
maid, and French is universally spoken
in society. Painting and music are
quite unnecessary, but girls are care
fully trained in dancing and drilled to
enter room and sit down with ele-
| gance. Lastly. household duties are
taught-how TO make rose jam, Turkish
coffee and various delicate sweetmeats

ton for n western Girl.

Aoh AON - NfNHAEAh
Not long ago while young woman
hailing from western state was re-
siding in the east she had a slight at
tack OF the grip and was much in need
of something to cheer her up. With
view Of securing the needed amuse-
ment she wrote accepting the standing
invitation Of Boston girl to come and
spend few days at the Hub. When the
time was near for her to leave home
she received a letter from her Boston
friend which ran like this:
II think have planned as PLEASANT
a programme for you, my dear, as
would be possible. You viii arrive

shall have a luncheon of the Quiet Hour

behalf of the colored old ladies' home.
Tuesday evening we shall wind up the
two days with a lecture by Prof. ----
on 'Esoteric Buddhism which 1 am
sure will be the greatest treat of the
wholetwo days"
As.soon after the receipt of this let
ter as she could recover strength
enough to hold a pen the western girl
wrote her friend as follows;
"I am afraid, my dear girl, that you
will have TO modify your programme
or else can't come to you. What little
intellect the grip has left me don't
propose to wreck in any such manner
as you have arranged for"
