VEGETABLES A FIGHTING DIET.
 l regret to say that vegetarianism is a fighting diet. Ninety-nine per cent. of the worlds fighting has been done on farinaceous food. In Trafal- gar Square I found it impossible to run away as fast as the meat eaters did. Panic Is carnivorous speciality. If the army were fed on a hardy, healthy, fleshless diet we should hear no more of the disgust of our colored troops and of the Afridis and Fuzzy wuzzies at the cowardice of Tommy Atkins. l am myself congenitally tim i'd, but as vegetarian l can generally conceal my tremors; whereas in my unregenerate days, when I ate my fel- low-creatures, was as patent cow ard as Peter the Great The recent spread of fire-eating fiction and Jingo war worship-a sort of thing that only interests the pusillanimous-is due to the spread of meat eating. Compare the Tipperary peasant of the potatoes and-buttermilk days with the modern gentleman who gorges himself with murdered cow The Tipperary man never read bloody minded novels or cheered patriotic music hall tableaux, but he fought recklessly and wonton- ly. Your carnivorous gentleman Is afraid of everything-i doc tors, dogs, disease. death and truth telling.-G. B. Shaw in the London Vegetarian.

NEWS FOR FISHERMEN.
What the Fish Commission Will Do to
 Provide Fish.

Provide Fish.
 The disciples of Izaak Walton will be delighted to hear that the state fish commission intends to put into execu- tion plans by which it is hoped. to re- plenish with fish of several varities the ponds and streams of the state. The commissioners have decided that the day of planting the small fish fry has passed. The little fellows are eaten in great numbers by the big ones, or they die in very short time on account of the change of water. There are twenty seven diseases to which the small fish are subject and it is undoubtedly better to keep them under care until they are safely out of these troubles. Hereafter only 'fingerly" fish, those between five and seven inches long, will be put in the streams. Commissioner Collins says that in his opinion one f1ngerly fish is worth a thousand of the small fry and that when the people have seen the workings of the new system they will never ask for fry again.
 Fish will be put out in the state this fall as follows: 600,OoO brook trout, 1OO,- GOO lake trout. 100000 Atlantic salmon, 10000 land-locked salmon, 25,O00 rain bow trout. All of these will be between five and six inches long. It will be ob- served that four of these varities are almost unknown in the state. We will put out miles of them" says Commis- sioner Collins, 'and all good sportsmen hope to see these miles increase in number, so that good fishing may come to consist of something besides stories ' As has been the former usage the fish will be furnished free of charge on con- dition that the recipients pay for trans portationx
