Whence do they come? What may their import
be
The fitting. flashing phantoms of the mind
That half awake and half in dream see;
That never can be captured defined?
They hint at something lost something desired,
something whose ownership would make us
glad
Perhaps at thoughts with subtitle meaning fired,
Or truths unrecognzed because unclad
They may be glints of half forgotten dreams,
They may be memories long buried deep.
That from their ashes give nut ftful CLEANS
Before they sink to their 7eng final sleep.
Perhaps electric lines from other brain
Are tapped and flashed IL crossing with our
own,
Perhaps some floating shreds or fits remain
OF former life that somewhsre have known.
Perhaps they the signals loved ones send
Who wait our coming the other shore;
Too spirit-fun with earthly sense blend,
Too finely soft to fully pierce lfes roar.
Perhaps! Perhaps! Conjectures cannot teachl
We clutch at shadows and we grasp the air!
The mystery is aye beyond our reach
An 1gnis fatuus no art snare.

Rapid Growth of Salmon.

From the San Francisco Call.
The recent capture of full-grown twen-
ty-four-pCund salmon in the Sacrame ento
river has exploded the theories of DR.. Gill
bert and DIR. David Starr Jordan, the scien-
lists, who are rated authorities on fish
questions. These learned gentlemen have
asserted that il takes three four years
for the Pacific ocean salmon to attain its
growth IN the deep waters of the OCEAN. In
the spring of 1897 several thousand salmon
fry were liberated in the waters of the CO.
lumbia river, al the United States fish COM
mission hatchery, Clackamas. In order
that these fish might be identified when
they should again ascend the river their
adipose fins We're removed. Circulars were
sent out asking that the capture of any of
the fish be reported to the commission,
with full particulars as to weight and size,
the commission desiring to learn the time
that young salmon spend in the ocean, pro-
gress in the matter of growth and other in
trrestins points.
This year a few of the little fellows
sc mewhat improved as to size, were caught
in the Columbia river, but none weighed
over eight pounds. J. P. Haller, manager
of the Sacrama anto River Packers Associa-
tlcn, offered 81 for every salmon caught
bearing the fish commissioners identifying
mark. The other day the salmon men
toned in the foregoing was landed in a
fsherman's net. 1t weighed twenty-four
pounds, and vas thirty-six inches in length
beating its fellows by many pounds and
inches So important do the state fish com
misSionerS regard the capture that thev
will send the marked part of the fish to the
commissioners at Washington.

A FEATHERED WONDER.
Bird Worth Considerable More Than
Its Weight i'm Gold.
From the London Mail.

From the London Mail
Possibly the rarest OF all feathered crea-
lures is the "takahe" bird Of New Zealand.
Science rames 1t Notornis Mantelli. The
first one ever seen by white eyes was
caught in 1S49 A second came to white
hands in 1851. Like the first, it was tracked
over snow and caught with dogs, fighting
stoutly and uttering piercing screams of
rage until ovcrmastered. Both became the
property of the British Museum. After that
1t was not seen again until 1879. That years
specimen went to the Dresden Museum, at
the cost of $500 The fourth. which was
captured last fall in the fiOrds OF Lake TIE
Anau in New Zealand. has been offered to
the government there for the tidy sum OF
81 30.
Thus it appears that the bird is precious
worth very much more than its weight in
gold. The value. of course. comes of rarity

MAKING MEXICAN PULQUE.
Manufacture of the National Drink
an Enormous Industry.
From no Nayp ynr


The making Of pulque, the national drink.
Is an enormous industry in Mexico. The
natives look upon It as an essential part of
their diet, and its consumption is universal
among all classes of people. The intoxica-
ton produced by pulque is thorough and
apparently satisfactory in all essentials. if
one can judge by the slumbering forms
often seen in the cutters adjacent TO the
pulquerias or pulque shops in the City of
Mexico as the night grows old. PuIque IL
made from the maguey, a species of CEN
tury plant. The poems gather the sap from
the plant by rough siphon and empty it
into a pigskin. 1t is passed through a
simple process of fermentation and I'm
twenty-four hours it is fit for use as a bev-
erage. When fermented it has the appear
ance of iced buttermilk, which it somewhat
resembles in taste, though to one unaccus-
TONED to Its flavor it is mawkiSh and re-
rugnant This distaste soon wears off. and
a liking for the drink is not long In assert
ing itself.
1t is said to be a sovereign remedy for
kidney affections. and there is a saying
that If a man from the north who has
spent nearly all his money in irving to cure
kidney trouble has enough left to carry
him down to Mexico and will drink puloue
for two months he will be cured A good

STARTED AN AVALANCHE,

MIGRATION TO SIBERIA
Fascination Exercised Upon the Rms
SLAMS by the Great East.


Moscow Correspondence of the London Standard.
In the last three years nearly half a mil
lion Russians of the peasant class are
known officially to have migrated from
European Russia to various parts of ST.
IBERIA. They are chiefly drawn from the
graln-growing districts. which have suf-
fered four serious famines since the wear
1891. Although the peasant cannot legally
quit his land without special permission
from the government, very many cases are
recorded of peasants slipping away from
all their liabilities at home and making
for the Ell Dorado which they believe ST.
IBERIA to be. 1t is certain that the full to.
tai of migrations is much more than ac-
counted for by the official figures These
reached 161, 900 for the first eight months
of last year alone. Siberia appears to the
starving peasant of European Russia as a
promised land OF freedom and plenty; but.
owing to the constantly recurring reports
of gold being found in widely separated dis
tricts Siberia also appeals to better class

try is beginning to have upon the Russian.

SMILING SAMOANS.
When They Are RiIed They Can Fight
Like FfeBds.
From Leslie's Weekly.


The men are noble specimens. physically
tall muscular, with the erect carriage and
elastic step of an American Indian They,
too, are smiling and kindly-in time OF
peace-and are clad in mantIes of the gay
prints which they have bought at the
store; they greet you with a wave of the
hand and courteous "Alofa." They tattoo
the legs from the waist to the knee; and
as they stride along these members appear
between the folds of their drapery as if
they were decently clothed in skin-tight
trousers. They are indolent and when not
reused to hostility, as amiable and fuu-Iov-
ing as children. They work s little as is pos
sible, and why should they? The forest
abounds in wild bananas, bread-fruit and
yams which may be had for the taking;
the sea is full of fish, which they are eX-
pert in catching, and if Providence deigns
to send them fattened pig once or twice
a year they are blessed, Clothing they do
not require nor fuel; their taxes are only
nominal, and they are consequently exempt
from the chief demands of life, and which,
but for the expense and difficulty of get
ting buried, make it far easier for the
average American to die than to live.
But these gentle creatures can fight, and
fight cruelty, although their method of
warfare is peculiar; they eat and drink be-
tween rounds. when sort of truce is de-
clared then go at it again, shoot at short
range and shoot to kill Formerly, until the
practice was abolished by Chief Justice Ide
the killing was followed by beheading, and
this ceremony was not always deferred,
where the victim had been only wounded,
until life was extinct. The heads were then
collected and presented to the king an
especial proof of prOwess. This barbarous
practice the chief justice had the utmost
difficulty in dealing with, and 1t was not
discontinued until the other representatives
of the triple protectorate consented to en-
act a law to punish offenders by filming
them heavily, and adding to this penalty
lengthy term of imprisonment.
