TELL CITY AN ODD PLACE
Indiana Town in Which There Ia n
Real Social EQUALITY.

Real social Equality.
Tell City, Ind, is town with a re-
markable history. 1t Is cooperative
industrial colony which has been In
successful operation for forty-four
years. 1t has survived the wreck of
scores of altruistic settlements founded
on the Bellamy or Debs plan. Perhaps
one reason for this is that it is a Swiss
town, founded by Swiss people for
Swiss colonists Out of a population
today of 1900 fully one-half are Swiss
and 1900 are Germans. In politics the
town is Republican, although neighbor-
Ing towns are mostly Democratic.
Tell City was founded in 1856 by the
Swiss Colonization Society of Cincin.

people. They sought a plan for the

TIE ILLINOIS A GOLD MINE.
Over 5000 Men Engaged in the Fish
Industry of That Stream.

Industry of That Stream.
Over 5000 men are employed In the
fish industry of the Illinois river. Each
year this industry expands and ex-
tends, and it is but a question of time
when that river will be accepted by
Illinois as one of the principal sources
of food supply in the State. The big
fishing point of the river, where the
business is handled in a wholesale way,
are Henry, LacOn, Chillicothe, Peoria,
Pekin, Havana, Bath, Browning,
Beardstown, Meredosia, Kampsville.
and Cation. The fishing season-that
is, the commercial season, when the
law permits the use of seines in the
riVer-opens July l and closes April Is.
During that time the fishing compan-
les with their tug boats and smaller
steam craft harvest the fishing crop,
using seines which vary in length from
800 to 1900 yards. In Lake Peoria
alone there are nine Seines, each 1000
yards long, and last year in one haul
over $500 pounds of German carp
were taken. AS the fisherman received
cents a pound for his fish ION the
ground" that single haul was worth
$3.50. Near Beardstown single haul
of the seine brought 10000 pounds of
fish.
The fish are packed in boxes in $50
pound lots, slowed away in refrigera-
tor cars, and most of the carp and buff
falo are shipped to New York. Chi
cago takes about 10000 pounds of carp
a week from Peoria in the season.
Then there is a system of live storage,
by which the captured fish are kept
alive until winter. when better price
can be obtained for them. The fish are
loosed into pens, which are made by
driving stakes close together into the
bottom of bayou or shallow bay near
the point of shipment Here the cap
tives thrive and fatten until they are
netted again and placed on ice for ship

pREYFus' FAITHFUL WIFE.
The Experience Through Which She
Passed During Five Years.

Nine. Lucie Dreyfus, the devoted
wife of the former prisoner of Devils
Island, five years ago was the hand
some, bonored companion of an officer
to whom the most brilliant prospects
were conceded. Nothing was lacking
to their happiness. They had all the
money they cared for, the welcome and
friendship of the best society, a beau
tiful home and lovely children. Then
like a thunderbOlt from a blue sky,

could be put aside with the spectacles;
also that the professor might have
been young once, before the weight of

Hawaiians Eat DeviIfish.

The mere thought of eating an oc-
topus is enough to make the everyday
civilized being shudder, yet in the Ha-
waiian islands these deyilfish, as they
are comonly called, are a much-prized
delicacy among the natives, while the
imported Chinese and Japs have also
acquired the taste.

Prussian military experiments show
that severe muscular exertion renders
the blood very poor in sugar, and that
sugar renders the tired muscles capa-
BILE of renewed exertion, while saccha-

impression prevails in Kentucky, where
the sugar is mingled with mint and,
other ingredients.

Feminine Pioneers of Long Ago.


A copy Of a curious newspaper has
been found in the French national
archives, says Literature. 1t is dated
Jan. 4, 1905, and is called L'Athenee des
Danes. The articles are evidently
written by women and the object of
the paper seems to have been an at
tempt to place women on an equal
footing with men. The feminine pio-
neers Of 1903 were evidently nearly
100 years ahead of their times. La
Fronde, the Partisan newspaper writ
ten, printed and published by women,
is now In Its third year and appears to
be successful, while only one copy of
RAthenee des Danes is to be found.
