NO RELIGION ABOUT FISH.
The Names of Several Are Used as
Term of opprobrium-Skates,
for Instance.

"Didn't it ever strike you that it's highly
inconsistent to associate fish with Lent, as
the church does, Mrs. Grumpus: SAID Mr..
Grumpus at the breakfast table, as he
picked obviously into the suburbs, OF his
fish cake with one tine OF his fork. Mr.
Grumpus' appetite had been sufficiently
gratifed at the club the previous night to
make him a trile critical.
''What put that ridiculous notion into
your head?" inquired Mrs Grumpus, with
one eyebrow lifted in a suspicious and IN.
quirlng way.
Take that popular expression: You're
a lobster" continued Mr.. Grumpus. Not
that you are lobster"
ooh, let remain, You're a lobster said
Mrs. Grumpus. cheerfully.
"Mariar, don't trihe. Lobster, now, is
term of reproach. That's one instance OF the
way the finny world is resorted to for an eX.
preston of censure. Another old phrase is
as dumb as an oyster The very dumbest
thing on earth or in the waters under the
earth, Marian, is an oyster. It's the very
opposite of woman, you know, ha, ha.
That's one on you Ell, Marian? Remember
that other old term showing how man
looks to the scaly world when he wants
smile or a metaphor indicating contempt
! mean it is still common to call bad law
yer a land shark Why | could prove
how low down fish are by a number Of eX
amples, and yet fish are associated with the
most religious part of the year"
"John?'
''Yes"
as there such a fish as sllate?"
'Why-er-yes. | believe there is"
as it ever used by men as smile or Il
metaphor in describing other men-some-
,imes?"
'You don't mean to be personal, Mrs.
Cirumpus?"
"Well, John, if I were a man I'd say:
That's one on you'-and now we are even. p"
Mr. Grumpus, grinned and ate his fish cake
ike man, although it had grown cold

WABASH LEVEE BREAKS.
Thousands of Acres Overlooked
Twenty-EiGht Lives Lost as Re-
suit of Ohio and Indiana Floods.

Sullivan, Ind, March 90. = The levee
on the Wabash river went out Monday
night with a break of 100 feet, entaiIing
a loss Of 100000. Twenty thousand
acres of land are overfowed and hun
dreds of families are rendered homeless
and destitute. Citizens are responding
for miles around in their effort to re-
move families and stock. Hundreds of
cattle and horses are hemmed in. Such
a rush of water was never known IN
this section of the country before. \
calamity, second only to the great
Johnstown flood, is upon us. The levee
is II miles long, and was built at cost
of $4,000. The area Of farm lands sub
merged is about 10000 acres.
Cincinnati, O., March 2S.-A total of
28 lives lost, a damage TO property, mu-
nicipal, corporate and private, of about
Sf2.O0O,O00, 1900 people rendered
homeless, and the practical suspension
of all railway and other traffic for from
60 to 70 hours, tell the story of the floods
in Ohio and Indiana.

Detroit. Mich.
Dear Sir; We have just returned from
the West. and were exceedingly well pleased
with the country. We are going back to
take up our homesteads in early. spring
We received $500 per month and board,
working for farmers, and the board was
the best we ever had-the beef and mutton
especially were excellent. The fine flavor Is
owing to the fine grasses which the cattle
and sheep feed upon, The people are very
hospitable and treat their hired help with
much kindness.
The grain is much heavier than here,
wheat being G2 lbs to the bushel, oats 48
lbs and barley often IS lbs.
Any man with a good team and money
enough to buy provisions and seed for SIX
months can become rich there in five years.
Many people who arrived there five years
ago with little or nothing are we'll off now.
One man l met held his wheat from last
year and was offered $4,000 for this year,
crop and what he had held over from last
year, and is holding it at Sl0O per bushel
We are going back in the spring TO work for
this same farmer until seeding, after which
we will homestead between seeding and
harvest We think we will settle on the
Manitoba & Northwestern r. r.
You can refer anyone to us for this part
of the country while we are here and we
will cheerfully answer any questions which
anyone may wish to ask. Yours truly,
(Signed) CHAS. IAWLEY,

THE SPANISH REPORT.
Commission of Spanish Omcers say
Disaster TO the Maine Was of
Internal Origin

Washington, March ga full svnop-
sis Of the report of the Spanish naval
commission which investigated the de-
struction of the battleship Maine is
here given. 1t is taken from a copy of
the original report which is now on
its way here from Havana, the SYNOPSIS
being cabIed in the meantime and
placed in the hands of this government
The conclusions reached are directly
opposite to those in the report of the
court of inquiry submitted to congress
Monday. The synopsis is as follows:
The report contains declarations made
by ocular witnesses and experts. From
these statements 1t clearly deduces and
proves the absence Of all those attendant
circumstances which are Invariably pres
ent on the occasion Of the explosion of
torpedo.
'"The evidence of witnesses comparative
~ close TO the Maine at the moment is to
the effect that only one explosion occurred;
that no column of water was thrown into
the air; that no shock TO the side OF the
nearest vessel was felt. nor on land was
any vibration noticed. and that no dead fish
were found.
THE evidence of the senior pilot OF the
harbor states that there is abundance OF
fish in the harbor, and this is corroborated
by other witnesses. The assistant engineer
of works states that after explosions made
during the execution of works in the har-
Dor he has always found dead fish
THE divers we're unable TO examine the
bottom of the Maine. which was buried in
the mud, but a careful examination of the
sides of the vessel, the rents and breaks
in which all point outward. shows without
a doubt that the explosion was from the
inside.
"A minute examination OF the bottom of
the harbor around the vessel shows abso-
lutely no sign of the action of torpedo,
and the fiscal Cudge advocate) of the COM
mission can find no precedent for the ex
plosion of the storage magazines Of a YES
sci by a torpedo
1.-THE report makes clear that owing to
the special nature of the proceedings fol-
lowed and the absolute respect shown for
the extraterrtorial position of the Maine
the commission has been prevented from
making such an examination of the inside
of the vessel a s would determine even the
hypothesis of the internal origin of the ac-
cident This is to be attributed to the re-
grettable refusal to permit of the necessary
cooperation OF the Spanish commission
both with the commander and crew of
the Maine and the different American of
fcfals commissioned to investigate the
causes Of the accident, and later on with
those employed in salvage work.
1.-THE report finishes by stating that an
examination of the inside and outside of
the Maine as soon as such examination
may be possible, as also of the bottom
where the vessel rests, will prove that,
supposng the remains (of the wreck not
to be totally or partially altered in the
process of extraction, the explosion was
Undoubtedly due to some interior cause.
