THE sARDINE BUSINESS.
Processes of Preparing the Dnimtics
for Market.
tFrom the Minneapolis JournalA

from the MlnnejpOiis Journdlf
The 1898 sardine is now on the market.
The fishing season b2gins early in June
and is now successful in places along the
Atlantic Coast and on Puget Sound. The
coast of Norway and Brittany. in France
are the scenes of the heaviest takes. aud
the grade of sardines obtained there is
superior.
AS soon as the fishermen notice shoals CT
pOrpOises or Gocks of seagulls off shore
sail is made Immediately, for the sardne
is there.
\ curious thing about this kind of fish
ing is that one rarely sees a living sardine
out of the water. The fish make little
squeak when taken from the water and die
instantly. Of the $50 or 800 fishing boats
fitted out al Belle Isle. about 200 belong
to Palais and the others to Sauzon.
IL is in these two ports that the French
fishermen sell their fish. An ordinary
catch of sarfines gives to each boat from
5000 10 10000 fish. and the price is regulat-
ed by the quantity brought in by the first
Corners. Seven francs 4 thousand IS a
fair price.
During the sardine season abou; three
hundred women and fifty men anxiousIy
await the arrival of the first boats. II
there are no fsh there is no work for them.
When the news arrives that the boats have
their welcome cargoes the women. in their
picturesque costumes, rush to the cannery
like a flock of frightened sheep. and each
takes her place in the great room where
the fish undergo their first preparation.
Here the sardines are spread upon the
table and sprinkled with salt. Then they
are cleaned. and when that operation is
finished they are sorted by little boys and
carried into another part OF the establish
ment, where they are put in pickle.
After this the fish are washed and pIac-
ed, on by one, with great care, upon wire
nets, called ''grills.' and put out TO dry in
the open air. II the weather is wet or even
foggy this operation is impossible. and the
| fish spoil and become worthless, except for
! fertilizng.
| The tias in which the sardines are then
packed are carried to the oiliug room. where
the last manipulation consists of filling
them with oil. 1t is in this part of the
establishment that the tomato sauce and
! the spices are placed in the boxes which
give to the French preparation of sardines
their universal renown.
| In any one of the above important es-
| adjustments the sardines are prepared
and exported ten hours after coming out
| of the water. Gourmets should never eat
newly prepared sardines. They have Meth
er the perfume nor the flavor of those
which have lain in the boxes for year

Tn. Alaskan Liquor Question.

One of the least fortunate acts of
the United States congress in regard
to Alaska has been the enaction of a
most rigid prohibitory law as to al
coholic liquors, says David Starr Jor-
dan in the Atlantic. This is an IRON
clad statute forbidding the importa-
ton. sale. or manufacture of intoxi-
cants of any sort in Alaska. The pri-
mary reason for this act is the desire
to protect the Indians, Aleut, and Es-
KINDS from a drug of which they are
excessively fond, and which soon de-
stroys them. But virtuous statute
may be the worst kind of law, as was
noted long ago by Confucius. This
statute has not checked the flow of
LIQUOR in Alaska, while it has done
more than any other influence to de-
stroy the respect for law.
In general men who ARE not in
Alaska for their health are hard
drinkers, and liquor they will have.
1t is shipped to Alaska as FLORIDA
water" Jamaica ginger" or "bay
rum" Demijohns are placed in the
center of -four barrels, sugar barrels,
in any package which may contain
them. With all this there is a vast
amount of outright smuggling, which
the treasury department tries in vain
to check. All Southeastern Alaska is
one vast harbor, with thousands OF
densely wooded islands, mostly unin-
habited. Cargoes of liquor can be
safely hidden almost anywhere, to BIO
removed piece by piece in smaller
boats. Many such cargoes have been
seized and destroyed, but the risk OF
capture merely serves to raise the
price Of liquor.
Once on shore the liquor is safe
enough. Upwards of seventy saloons
are running openly in Juneau and per-
haps forty in Sitka. Most Of these
houses are the lowest Of their kind.

THE kingdom of God is righteous
ness. and peace. and joy in the Holy
Ghost"
This kingdom. Jesus said. was at
hand. And when His disciples were
rejected, and shook off the dust of the
city from their shoes, He babe them
say, Nevertheless, of this be We sure.
that the kingdom of God is come nigh
unto you"
And it is nigh unto US today. It Is
felt in the Utmost soul even of those
who would be ashamed to confess its
presence
Even when you are most miserably
defeated in striving to be good. most
ashamed of failure, even when Ito re-
turn to our starting point you declare
that you cannot do the thing that you
would, even then you do not entirely
believe yourself; the conviction of
lofty possibilities will not quite be-
gone; righteousness, and peace, and
joy, still haunt your imaginings and
disturb your guilty pleasures; you feel.
you know that these things are your
heritage, and without them you can
never be content
What does this strange, illogical, in
cessant experience mean?
There is a beautiful old legend of
Christian girl, betrayed to martyrdom
by her pagan lover In the bitterness
of his rejection, who promised as she
went to die to send him, if it were al
lowed to her. some proof Of her reli-
gion On that same wintry night, as
he sat and mourned, the legend says
that a fair boy left at his door a bas-
ket filled with flowers of such bloom
and fragrance as never grew in earth
ly gardens. Whereupon he arose and
confessed Christ, and passed through
the same dusky gates Of martyrdom
to rejoin her in the paradise of God
Like flowers of unearthly growth,
proclaiming the reality of the unseen,
so do our unworldly longings, our i'm
mortal spiritual aspirings, our feeling :
after a Divine Deliverer, If haply we
may find Him, prove that the kingdom
of God is at hand.
Every thought of God comes from
God, and is already the operation of
His Spirit.
Every desire for Christ is Christ's
forerunner in the soul. and bids US
welcome Christ.

A Golf Corner.

The latest craze among young wom-
en- who devote great portion of their
time to the popular sport is the golf
corner. One corner of the room occu-
pied by the fair enthusiast is entirely
filed with sticks and other imple-
ments employed in the game. If the
young woman is an expert and has
been fortunate enough to win several
medals and other trophies, these are
tastefully arranged upon a three-cor
nered table which sets close to the
wall. Dangling from the gas jet are
the balls used in the victorious games,
and the wall is decorated with photos
of famous golfers. Those who are
fond of extremes have golf STICKS
shortened and inserted in the spoN
holes of small reception chairs as
backs These sticks are firmly glued
to the foundation, and the crooked
ends show off very prettily when gild-
ed and turned in different directions
In imitation of the different positions
in which they are held to strike the

TIPS FOR TEA DRINKERS.
Or. John 6codfsIIcx Of London Says -Four Minutes
Infusion Is Enough.

London. April 13.-Tea drinking has
been discussed recently by prominent
medical men, and DR.. John Goodfellow,
former director of the Bromley Insti-
tute in London. in an interview, goes
into the matter in detail. Chinese teas,
the doctor holds, are preferable TO the
Indian and Ceylon varitles. which are
richer in tannin compounds. A sign
of good tea is the absence Oh the draw
ing sensation In the mouth. Or. Good
fellow finds that tea drinking is mod
Grafton is beneficial. In all the ordi-
nary conditions of life the wear and
tar OF modern competition is of such
a nature that n harmless stimulant is
almost a necessity. a cup OF tea gives
the brain a needed flip. and. by in
creasing the circulation, healthfully
stimulates all the organs.
Tea is hardly to be recommended as
morning beverage. 1t may exercise
an injurious effect II taken with the
principal meal. In preparing tea, the
chief points are 20 secure n maximum
qauntity OF the stimulating quality,
with a maximum percentage Of tannin
compounds, and az the same time 10 de-
velop the aroma and flavor. The aro-
matte oil is most soluble. then comes
theme, and lastly the fannie acid. EX-
pertinent shows that 80 per cent. OF the
available soluble theme dissolvcs out
in the first four minutes practically all
the volatile oil, and only about 20 per
cent. of the fannie acid. -Four minutes
is, therefore, enough for an infusion.
DIR. Goodfellow recommends milk with
tea, and concludes:
II feel convinced on physiological
grounds, experience and exhaustive ex-
pertinent, that much is To be said in ia
vor OF tea, and very little against its
legitimate use. The most injurious ef-
fects ascribed TO tea are the result of
improper preparation

Get Salary as Postmaster

Denver, April 13.--The career of Hor-

city, who died on. Monday last after an
illness OF three days, was really re-
markable one. lie was poor store
keeper. then a rich miner He lived in
a cabin, and then I'm palace. He
bought a seat I'm the senate OF the
United States. and a few years later
was glad TO set the salary OF postmast-

Tabor was farmer in Kansas. After
lighting grasshoppers and drought un-
tn he was twenty-five years old. he
packed his wife and some things to eat
and some tools TO dig with into a prai-
rie schooner and started TO find gold.
Sometimes he kept store in mining
camps. selling flour for S2j per 100
pounds and bacon for so cents a pound.
Again he would test fortune i'm a placer
claim. and then set up a forge and
sharpen tools for the miners.
From 1861 10 1878 he led monoton-
Gus existence, working drearily and
prohting little. With the proceeds OF
the sale OF his last yoke of oxen he
opened little store in a desolate Colo
rado gulch about 10000 feet above sea
level. In April. 1873, he supplied grub
stakes" 20 two shoemakers who were
prospecting. These coDOlers, August
Rlche and George +. Hook. dug for ore
on the top Of a hill. Other miners
laughed at their folly. but the cobblers
stuck 20 their picks. and after digging
twenty-six feet struck n vein OF car
Donate ore OF surprising richness. This
was the Little Pittsburg mine Tabor
made a million or more from his inter-
est. The site of his store became the
center of Leadville. Tabor became a
partner OF Marshall Field of Chicago.
