States Attorney Robb's raid on the Will
mington rumsellers is said to receive the
strongest kind Of support from the people
of that place generally, though some dis
satisfaction is expressed because it was not
more sweeping in its action and more yio-
lent in the matter Of fines. 1t seems to be
the opinion that the states attorney had
his forces SO well organized for business
that affairs should have been conducted on
the largest possible scale.

WEALTH FROM THE WATERS.
Much Money Was Earned Last fenr
by the $1,000 Fishermen
in Canada.

Since the inception of the bounty sys-
tenn $2,25O,0O0 has been paid to encour-
age Canadian fishermen in developing
the deep sea fisheries of Canada. Can
Gda's fisheries are the most extensive
in the world. The eastern sea coast
is given as 5000 miles, and that of Brit
ish Columbia as 1,l60 miles, or more
than double that of Great Britain and
Ireland. While the salt water area, not
including indentations, covers more
than 800 square miles, the fresh water
area of that part of the great lakes
belonging to Canada is computed at r.
100 square miles, not including the nu-
merous lakes of Manitoba and the terri
tories, all stocked with excellent spe-
cies of food fish. In 1857 it was esti-
mated that the sea and inland fisheries
were worth S1,5O0,000. In 1897 they had
reached $50, 900. In bait alone it is
estimated that the value of fish used is
S22i,633 a year. Our output of fish oil
last year was worth $2j0,0o0. The seal
skin catch was $J2O.250. The salmon
catch shows an increase of over $780,
coo, and the herring catch an increase
Of 100000. The sardine catch fell off
somewhat. Between the years 1869 and
1897 inclusive the five principal com
mcrcial fisheries have yielded as fol-
lows: Cod, S1OG, 433,217; herring, $751;
373.O42; Holsters, 81, 1904, 500; salmon,
$4j, 7iO, 40; mackerel, $37.5s9, S25.
Over $4,000 men were engaged in the
fishery industry in the past year, and
the total capital was over S9,7jo,00o.
Besides the 1900 fishing schooners and
tugs valued at 100000. manned by
9,7s5 sailors. G5.5O0 fishermen, using
$500 boats, valued at over $l,oCo,OO0,
toi!Cd on the great deep for liyeli-
hood, using altogether G,344,fG0 faith
oms of nets. The lobster plant for
1897 amounted to $1,l14,920. This rep
Ioscnts the G65 canning establishments
dispersed throughout the maritime
provinces, and 100000 traps required
to keep them going. Over 14,O0O per
sons find employment in this branch Of
the industry.

BROUGHT THE GLAD TIDINGS.
Tame Crow Adds TO It's Vocabulary
aad Astounds = Pennsyl-
vania Farmer.

II captured while yet a nesting and
properly educated crow may be taught
to initiate the sounds of the human
voice so closely that it will articulate
words as distinctly as parrot, al
though the crows vocabular is not apt
to be extensive. Such words as Good
morning" How de do" HALO" and
similar familiar expressions, and the
name of its master are learned easily,
and the bird will repeat them so in
variably at the right time and place
that the crows vocal accomplishments
will naturally seem uncanny to aperson
who observes them for the first time.
All tame crows are surprisingly inteili-
gent creatures, and now and then one
viii aStonish even its friends 10y ciacu-
lating a new word or an expression en-
t,rcly unexpected and Star'liugly apt.
About two years ago Peter Downs,
who then lived with his father on the
Downs farm. near Rose Lake, Pc, cap
turcdancwly-nedged crow, anditproycd
TO I've a very apt scholar and be
came great pet. II was the wonder
of the nciUhhorhood. Early in its
career it began calling the elder Downs
"pop." and regularly every morning u
greeted him with "Good wurniu' pom"
\ year a"o the son got mar"icd and
went TO I've ON a farm a mile and
half from the Downs homestead, taking
Richard, the tame crow. with him. The
crow returned to the old place regularly
every day for a visit and always an
nounccd its coming by the familiar
greeting TO Farmer Downs: "Gcol
morning. rop!" The bird usually
busted itself about the place until
toward noon, when il returned home.
One day last week Richard appeared
nj the Downs farm much earlier in the
morning than usual and almost knocked
Farmer Downs specchless by shouting;
Good morning, gran'pop."
The crow chuclllcd ard croaked in
most ridiculous manner and repeated
AT short intervals. with an JUNCTION
never before accompanying its utter
ance: Good morning, gran'pop,
Gran'pop! Gran'pop." causing the
farmer much amusement after his first
surprise, and making him wonder
where in tarnation he picked that up"
An hour or so after the bird came 10

Peter Downs drove up, looking pleased.
well, pop" he said, there's three
of us down there now. incest boy you
ever see, the third one is, and every
body dom fine"
"Mornin', gran'pop!" chuckled the
crow.
Then it was all clear; but everyone
about the neighborhood is wondering
how in the world that crow got on to
the new dignity the situation placed on
farmer Downs, and then hurried to be
the first to tell him of it.-Chicago

Long-drawn arpeggio chords on the
pianoforte have been found efiicacious
as a panacea for neuralgia in the case
of William f.. Gladstone. Music alone
relieves him. it is said, of the intense
agonies he suffers, and in order TO af-
ford him relief a young lady, who is
STAYING with Lady Clara Spencer, comes
in daily and produces weird chords that
prove completely cOnsolatory to the
grand old man. In some cases, it is
to be feared. the discourse of long
drawn arpeggios woald prove a worse
remedy than the disease. but, after all,
the music cure is no new thing, and
any method by which the wonderful
old statesman can get relief must be
eagerly welcomed by his friends.-Chi-
cago Times-Herald.
