Large Gold Fish Farm.

In Oldenburg. Germany, is one of the
largest goldfish farms. More than a
hundred small ponds contain the fish in
all stages of growth, the little ones
carefully kept from the rapacfous big
fellows Of eight inches, which would be
delighted to eat their helpless breth-
rem. In spite of this the goldfish is a
great coward, and tiny fish with the
courage to attack it can brighten it al
most to death. That the demand for
goldfish is large is shown by the fact
that from the fish farms of Oldenburg
over 100000 fish are sent to market
every wear.

A Letter From KIondike.

The HERALD is permitted to
publish the following letter written
to Assessor John G. Callahan from
his brother, Mr.. Tim Callahan,
formerly inspector Of customs at
this place The letter will be read
with interest by Tins many friends:
DAWSON, July 23,-Dear John:
We arrived here on the Goth. We
were just 20 days On the way from
Lake Bennett. and | can tell you it
is very rough water between Daw-
son and Bennett, and l am glad we
are here.
Well, John, L never saw sush a
ruch of people, and never expect to
again. Whether the country will
justify it, time only will tell. The
cleanup is not what they expected,
and one half the people that came
in the spring are going down in to
American territory.
Chas. Chambers, Alex Burnett
and | will start in 3 or 4 days over
land to the head of McQuestion
River. 1t is considered a good
county all through that section.
About half the people here will
go back home before winter sets in.
Many have the blues and are sell
ing their outfits and will hit the
back trail as soon as possible.
There are many persons here
who have the scuryey.
l am going to see what there is in
the country if it takes four or five
years.
| met Major Walsh yesterday.
He is fine man. | shall see John
HALEY today, l met Dan Burke
yesterday (son of John M. Burke. }
l aslo met W. w. Cryder. He is
working in a sawmill. Sam Word,
of Helena, Jim Wardner and Nell
Yates are among others whom
have located here.
We came down the river for some
distance with Joe Cox. On account
of a poor cleanup and the royalty
for the government, there is poor
demand for packing, so Joe will
not make much with his horses.
| will give you some Dawson
,nrioac.

Why He Failed.

A Wellington Chinese trader known
as William Joe Gett, formerly Chi
nese interpreter, failed some time ago.
Here is an extract from his statement
of the causes of bankruptcy, which,
written in red ink. covered four pages
of foolscap. After detailing mis- trading
experiences the Celestial writes:-
81 see my troubles endless TO come I
can't get my money to pay. / am help

creditors support my business. During

STORY OF A HAT.
Revealing the Secret of Its Two Trips
Around Table.

Revealing the Secret of Its Two Trips
Around a Table
A number of literary men were at one
time gathered in we'll known chop
house in New York. The conversation
was of course brilliant, and the repartee
sparkled with mirth and wit. During a
lulI in the talk the door slowly opened,
and an old southern darby, grizzled
with age, poked his head in and then
slowly drew his body in after him. A
waiter started to eject him, when one
of the gentlemen cried:
wait moment. Let's SEQ what the
old boy wants. -
The darby bobbed up TO the table
where this gentleman sat and held out
his hat Throwing a wink to his neigh
bors, the gentleman took the hat and,
making show of placing something
into it, passed it on to the next man,
who did likewise. The hat made a tour
of the room, to the puzzled wonder of
tho darky. The last to receive it SOL
EMMY handed it back with a polite
bow, saying:
"There, sir, don't you think you have
something to be thankful for?''
The old darby looked solemnly around
the company and, mechanically taking
the hat, he said:
Gen men, I'ze indeed glad dat got
chen de hat hack!'
The reply was so thoroughly enjoyed
by the company that the darky left the
place Il much richer man than when he
had entered it.-Kansas City World.

Useful Siwash Dogs.

If you are going to prospect in Alaska
and expect to travel much, pair of
good "Siwash" dogs are very essential
almost indispensable. These dogs
greatly differ from our domosticated
dogs, taking to the harness like duck
to water. They do not bark at stran-
gers They are kind and affectionate,
showing the wolf in them only among
their kind. 1t seems to be against their
principles to get off the trail to let an
other team pass.
This means fight, an exciting cpl
sode if the teams number five or six
dogs each. In an instant tho widest
confusion takes place. Dogs harness
and each driver with club in his hand
form one grand tumble from which or
der can only be restored by some of the
dogs being knocked senseless. The dogs
are trained to gee" and "haw," like
an OK and stop at the word 'whoa"
"Mush" is the word used generally by
the whites to indicate go ahead, a per-
version of the Indian word "husch. "
The dogs prefer their master, but if
lent for use they work as faithfully as
for their master. San Francisco Chron-
icle.

TIE Ruls. o. the House.

"Hnw can I learn the rules Of the
house?" asked a newly elected Irish
member of the late Mr.. Parnell. by
breaking them, was the prompt reply
of the Irish leader, who, as is we'll
known. spoke from experience on the
pointN But few members would care TO
adopt that heroic method of obtaining
the desired knowledge, and their task
in mastering the rules is rendered all
the more difficult by the curious fact
that many Of these regulations are I'M
written.
Some will be found in the standing
orders. or permanent rules; but those
that deal with etiqpette and decorum
have not been officially recorded any
where, save in q few quaint and obso.
lete regulations TO be found in the old
issues of the journals of the house or in
the minutes of proceedings taken by
the clerk and published daily during
the session.
For instance, strange rule for the
guidance of the speaker is set down un-
der the 10th of February, 1920, "The
speaker not TO move his hat until the
third congee.' - Propriety of carriage in
leaving the chamber is thus enforced,
tThose who go out of the house in a
confused manner before the speaker to
forfeit 10 shillings. - This rule is dated
the I2th of November, 1910. Again we
find that on the 23d of March, 1898,
it was ordered, ''No member TO take
tobacco into the gallery or to the table
sitting at committees. ''-Nineteenth
