CAVIAR.
A DeIiCaCy for Which the Demand
Constantly Increases.

In twenty-five years caviar has
grown to be one of the recognized
delicacies of the merican table. OF
course, you know that it is only stur-
geon roe, and all you get is not gen.
uine, but the imitation approaches the
genuine sufficiently to satisfy those
who are not familiar with the real
thing.
The general an6 greatly increased
favor with which caviar is received
has caused great drain upon the
sturgeon fisheries of Europe, and those
Of the United States and Canada, with
in the past few years have been drawn
upon to meet the demand, and In con-
sequence areapproaching exhaustion.
When the call for sturgeon roe was
fret made. most of the supply was pro-
cured from the northern rivers flowing
into the Atlantic and from the great
freshwater lakes on our nOrther
boundaries especially from the
Lake of the North.
Within the past two years there has
been a very large catch in set nets and
pounds off the beaches of New Jersey
and Long Island. This has added
measurably to the supply of eggs, and
has proved most protita BILE industry
to the fishermen. With the ocean
take and that of the rivers and lakes,
our annual production of roe for the
making OF caviar Cannot be less han
240, 900 podnds.
The weight of roe in proportion to
that of each fish is from 10 to IA per
cent. AS no one who uses this delicacy
will consume more than an ounce for
single portion, the contribution of the
United States and Canada is a valuable
addition to the European output. The
weight Of eggs taken from each fe-
male sturgeon varies. Those taken on
the spawning grounds of the rivers
carry a much higher percentage
of roe than those caught in the sea
while on the way thither. The fisher
men near a market have two profits
from the fish-the flesh and the eggs.
The former Is palatsble if it be freed
from skin and fat before cooking.
Otherwise, when heated, it gives off q |
most repugnant odor.
There is no reason why Americans |
should not have caviar in perfection |
made from the roe of sturgeon caught |
here. 1t could be kept in cold storage |
In the original packages either in what
ls called the mild form, that is, half |
'alted, or fully sailed. Instead of that
most American sturgeon roe Is ex-
ported, and is returned in tins or bot
les under foreign labels. stale and
hard and in no way comparable to that
. hich is fresh made.-The Kitchen.

of Texas does not require the record
ing of health statistics. births, deaths,
marriages and such matters. But the
correct knowledge of how such matters
stand is of vital Importance to this city.
For instance, on the face of the returns
it would appear that the death rate OF
Ell Paso is above the average. But
such a vast majority of the peo-
pie who die here are of those who come
here on account of pulmonary disease
and being in the last stages come too
late for benefit. that the real death
rate of Ell Paso is probably not more
than third of the average rate in
other communities. Some means
should be afforded to gather official
statistics on this question, as the truth
is certain to be in our favor, and means
much in the list o. advantages enjoyed
by this city.

FORT WORTH is suffering FROM a
water famine. For more than q month
there has been terrible drouth aud
the water supply has been so reduced
that there is not enough pressure for
adequate fire protection. The temper
ature has been over hundred for
many days and some days it has been
up to 1O4. Grass is destroyed and veg
eta bles in gardens are literally cooked
on the plant. The pumps will be run
only quarter of the time until rain
comes, and it is likely that the suffer-
ing will be fearful. This year Ell PasO
has escaped any unusual heat and the
city is in rather better temper than
usual.

PRESIDENT MCKINLEY Ia giving

PRESIDENT MCKINLEY is giving
every assurance to the country and to
the Inhabitants of the colonies which
came into our possession as the spoils
of war that he intends to deal more
than Justly with them. He has already
tnaugurated a plan for establishing
self government on the island of Cuba.
with the view of Withdrawing our
troops and granting full autonomy as
soon asspossible. There is no doubt that
his plan will meet with the general ap-
prevail OF the people of the United
States. 1t Is true that no matter what
government is nominally established
in Cuba, it will always in the nature of
things be under the the suzerainty of
the United States. 1t may be
called a republic, and the system
of self government may be apparently
satirely free from outside
influence, but nevertheless the United
States will be morally and interna-
tionally responsible for the we'll being
of the people of Cuba, the regulation
OF her intercourse with foreign ma
tons, the sanitary condition OF the
island, and in general, all things that
concern the relations of the inhabi-
tants with other countries. But
President Mckinley is right in under
taking to carry out the terms of the
resolution of congress as soon as pos
sible. Violation of good faith is the
sign of q small man aud small nation. |
We owe Cuba nothing. We owe our
selves much. The "hands off, resolu-
ton of congress. passed just as we en-
tered upon the war, was no doubt a |
great blunder, but it stands on the rec
ord and it must be complied with.

The existing systems of punishment

The existing systems of punishment
for crime in state and county institu-
tions are extremely wasteful. AS q
rule the criminals are not engaged in
any profitable labor, while they are
costing the state large sums for their
support. It would not be right to per-
nit prison labor to compete in open
market with honest labor, but there is
one direction in which prison labor of
every class can be utilized to ad-
vantage, without interfering with the
honest laboring man at all. That is
in road building. There is lot of
road building to be done in this coun-
try, and the work is for the benefit of
every citizen. The sentiment that
criminals could be thus most profitably
employed is growing in favor, and it is
to be hoped sthat action along this line
will be generally taken by the states.
In Pennsylvania under new law each
county can use it's own prisoners to
build roads for itself. Preference in
roada makingc must be given to roads
connecting directly with the county
seat.

PRESIDENT RICH of the eastern
Mormons reports that the Mormon
elders are active in the south. Not
strange, as the southerners have a way
of speeding unwelcome guests that is
calculated to make them active. They
sometimes use a rope and tree, but in
certain cases they are content with
flying bullets, bludgeons, and kicks.
Elders of any denomination would be
active under such favorable conditions.

a second ice factory was established.
A year ago the capacity of the two was
practically doubled. Now ice is being
shipped in here from San Antonio to
help supply the demand, and withsl,
this is the coolest city in the state by
