Bontblack Supplies.

A business that has sprung up In
New York In recent years is that OF
bootblack supplies. 1t owes its origin
to the growth Of the city, the multi
plication Of bootblack stands, and the
introduction and extensive use of COL
ored shoes. There are now number
Of concerns, small but complete estab-
lishments, devoted to this business,
that supply everything bootblack re-
quires, and his requirements are great
er than they formerly were.
At one place there are kept on hand
sixty-five varieties of shoe backing or
polish, for shoes of all kinds and COL
ors, including blackings and polshes
In boxes and bottles, and imported
blackings as well as domestic, and wa
terproof blackings and oil. There are
sold here cans for oil and for water;
backing pans, the small round pans
made to hold larger quantity OF
backing than would be contained In a
backing box; brushes Of all kinds, in
Guiding daubers, dust brushes, and
backing brushes, whisk brooms and
shoestrings of various kinds and COL
ors.
Some OF these establishments send
out supply wagons, which regularly
make the rounds of their customers
at bootblacking stands all over the city
and supply their wants, whatever they
may be, on the spot.

ZONE KILLED" !

A brilliant victoryi Hear the shout
Ringing through all the land!
Enemy utterly put to rout- -
Vainly essayed to stand.
The streets are crowded, men hurry
across;
A nation with Joy is thrilled
Because twas achieved with trifing
loss;
But Jim-our Jim-was killed!
The flags are Haunting exultantly,
Proud in their arrogant scorn.
Thanks arise for victory
With naught--almost-to mourn.
Yet in my heart, like a cut from q
knife,
A pain that won't be stilled- \
An Insignificant loss Of life
When Jim-our Jim-was killed?
"A marvellous thing that in such
fight"
Come comments over the wife,

In the face OF venomous fire.

When otherwise all would have been

I STURGEON FISHING.

Capturing asif-Tsn Fsshss Is No Pinhooh
IL Recreation.
I saw sturgeon in Victoria, on the
cannery floor, says writer In the To-
ronto Globe. measuring twelve feet by
the tape and Weighing more than six
hundred pounds. Any one Wishing to
deceive the public by aid Of a prevari-
eating camera should pose beside this
twelve-foot fish. The men who skill
fully and laboriously reduced 1t to sec
lions with an axe said 1t was not an
uncommon fish, though the biggest on
the floor; that they often found them
far larger and Weighing as much as
twelve hundred pounds.
Two men lifting half-ton fish into
their boat is the exciting feature of
sturgeon fishing. The sturgeon, II not
fastened In his thick hide, is apt to
resent It, He shakes his head in en-
phatic dissent; and a head three feet
long and as big as log, when vigor-
ously shaken by half-ton body, is a
thing to be avoided. The tail, too. is a
source of danger, for 1t not only slaps
with energy, but can cover large sur
face with one application. The man
new at the business Is apt to get hurt
the first time he helps to coax wrig-
Cling sturgeon of standard size over a
