BAD FOR THE CAVIAR TRADE.
Lake of the Wood Sturgeon Growing
Rapidly Scarcer.

The man who must have caviar in
his sandwich will be likely to pay more
for 1t in very short time or be willing
to get less of the fishy paste between
his slices of bread Fishermen in the
Lake of the Woods country, whence
most of the Western caviar now comes,
say they never have had such i'll luck
as this year, and they fear the runs of
sturgeon are growing less. Hardly a
fish company on the Lake of the Woods
has made expenses this year from its
caviar trade, and of all the private
fishermen. and hundreds of them are
about the lake, only two or three have
met with success.
The opening of the Lake of the
Woods TO the fishing industry few
years ago has caused the development
of an enormous caviar trade, and the
centre of the industry, which used to
be in New Jersey has been moved
westward. Indeed, the OUTPUT Of the
Lake of the Woods fisheries. is now
so large that it rules the markets Of
the world. Before this year there has
been no appreCiable diminution in the
supply, but the eXtravagant methods
Of the fishermen and the lack of intelli-
gence as to the future supply, as well
as the fact that caviar itself is the
eggs of the sturgeon, are making havoc
with the fisheries. Three large Ameri-
can fish companies are at work on
Lake of the Woods, all on the little
northwest angle"-that bit of Canada
that the northern boundary takes near
] the western end OF Minnesota-besldes
several smaller Canadian companies.

steamers, ice houses, palm hoats, all
valued at nearly $500, 600 Besides stur-
geon, great quantities of pickercl,
Whitefish, bass. jackfsh, and other
varieties are caught for market, and
the water being very cold and the lake
some 5000 square miles in extent, the
fish are as solid and good as the ia

of tons are packed in ice and shipped

the markets Of st. Louis and Kansas

Caviar is the surgeons eggs, handled

The eggs, after being taken from the

EZEK. X.XXVI1:1-14.

PROMISE Verses and 6).-The man
on whom God lays His spirit does not
falter before difficulties or even de-
cline to attempt impossiblities. See
.how Moses marched down to the Red
Sea (Ex., xiv:16), and his successor
came undaunted to the Jordan Josh,
iii:13). Ezekiel does not refuse what
ordinary men would deem to be folly.
AS a servant of God he delivers to the
dry bones the promise delivered to him,
that they shall live again Every word
of the promise was a seeming mock
erv. a declara ton never to be fulfilled.
Breath should come into them, sinews
shall be laid upon them to unite them,
skin shall cover them. Thus the be-
ings, long since dead, shall be rehabili-
tatcd. and shall stand forth in the
beauty and glory which they had be-
fore death entered upon his work of
destruction. Such was the message
pronounced. A man of God, accus-
toned to speak to the people and in
struct them, is engaged in this remark
able task of speaking to the bones Of
the dead.
REUNION (Verses Z and S).-Who
will limit the power of God? who shall
say what results shall follow His COM
mand? If a world came into orderly
form at His word, what may not be
expected when He shall speak? The
prophet stood and beheld the result of
! his inspired utterance. 1t was not in
| stantaneous. Slowly that transpired
which had been predicted. First he
| heard a noise, produced by the move
ment of the bones. as If endued with

! the ligaments bound these members to-

again and the blood began to flow, and
! the skin, the outer coat, covered over
all. Thus were produced the bodies of
men. as complete as they were in life
with limbs and hands and feet and
every part set each in its own place.
The power that works in all the uni

yet these were only dead bodies. There

may be easily forgotten. How strange
it is that men desire God to do i'm
possible things for them by opening up
in a moment of time what can only be
obtained through the gradual and
sometimes tedious process of an un-
folding. Bones have been transformed
into bodies at His command. The
prophet is now better prepared to be-
lieve that dead bodies may live, and
better prepared to be a mOuthpece OF
God in causing them to live. SO came

to which he spoke to the four winds

REMARKS.-The lesson illustrates
the method of God. He usually en-
ploys a man to speak for Him. That
man is generally trained by series
of circumstances until he has abiding
faith in God. The more important
work to be done the more remarkable
will be the training. Frequently some
peculiar phenomena is needed to arouse
the soul and lift it to such heights
that it can see and declare without
faltering what it sees Such phen-
omena will be adapted to the person.
God comes to a man in His own way,
and it is only necessary that the man
should know why He came. But the
great thing in every servant of God,
indeed, in all who believe in God, is
their unwaVcring confidence in His
power. He is able to do abundantly
above all that we ask or think (Eph.
iii:20), according to His power. No
man, no people ever descended to
depths from which He could not raise
up and restore Uohn v:25). From the
deepest afiliction of sorrow, from the
direst misfortune and pain, He is able
to deliver.
