Had an Unpleasant Experience.

Henry Fredenburgh, while fishing at Catskill recently, had rather unpleas- ant experience. A monster sturgeon caught its head in the meshes of a net handled by Fredenburgh. and while he was striving to fasten rope about his gills. the boat lurched and the fisherman tumbled into the net. After fioundering there some .ime with the sturgeon, Fredenburgh succeeded in grasping a rowloek, but was unable to free himself from the net. The biz fish, still entangled, made dash for liberty and for ten minutes dragged net, boat and fisherman about the river. Then Jacomb Conine, a partner of Fredenburgh, came in boat, cut the net, released the sturgeon and as sisted Fredenburgh into the boat.

JAPANESE BUYING GOODS HERE
Are Building Up Home Industries by
 the Aid of Chicago Machinerv

the Aid of Chicago Machinery.
 Chicago is building up by no means insignificant trade with Japan. The Yankees of the Orient" are quick to discern whatever is Of utility to them in the mechanic arts. and as a eonse- quence they are supplying themselves with machinery for the development of their industries direct from the faeto- ries on the shores of Lake Michigan. h the history of the entire world no other nation has experienced such remarkable growth in it's commerce with Japan as has the United States. Japanese official figures give the im- portations from the United States in 1893 at 6,090, 408 yen and in 1898 at 40,- 001,097 yen Meantime her importa- tions from England increased from 27,- 929,62S yen to 62,707,572 yen; those from Germany from 7,318,134 yen to 25.610,96 yen; those from France from 8,305,277 yen to 6,979,9 ,9S2 yen, and those from China from 17,095,975 zen to 30,- 623, S60 yen, while the only part of the world which has experienced an in- crease at all to be compared with that of the United States is the British East Indies, whose increase has been from S,679,029 in 1893 to 40,764, PA yen in 1898 Japan's importations have grown enormously in the last five years. In 1893 they amounted to s8,257,1 yen and in 1898 to 277, ,502, ,166 yen Mean time her exports have grown from 89,- 712,S64 yen in 1893 to 165, ,753,752 yen in 1898. Thus the exports have doubled and the imports have trebled in the pe- riod under consideration. The disposi- tion of Japan is to look to the United States for constantly increasing pro- portion of its supplies. Tn 1893 the United States furnished less than T per cent of the imports into Japan and in 1898 14.4 per cent while England, the principal competitor in the markets of the east. which in 1893 furnished 32 per cent Of Japan's importations, in 1898 furnished 22.6 per cent. Not only have the producers and exporters of the United States developed in the last few years a disposition to push their sales in that country, but Japan herself Is showing disposition to make her purchases from the nearest markets those of the United States-and has recently established steamship lines connecting with United States ports Japan by reason of recent events is the nearest neighbor to the United States, aside from those whose territory is &C., tua11y ntiguous-Canada and Mexico Her comparatively recent exchange of mainland territory to Russia for the line Of islands stretching northwardly from her central group brings her ter ritory to within about 560 miles of that of the United States in the Aleu- tian chain of islands, while at the south her newly acquired island of Formosa lies within less than 200 miles of the Philippines. Thus not only are the United States and Japan neighhors territorially, but their insular posses sions combined stretch along the en- tire Pacific coast of Asia from arctic 10 equatorial waters.--Chieago Chron- feie.

THE IMPORTATION OF MONKEYS
Organ Grinders Do Not Carry Them
 Here Nowadays.

Here Nowadays.
 A man who had missed the mon- keys formerly carried about by organ grinders in the city streets. and who had attributed their disappearance to the changed conditions of the organ grinding business, to the substitution of the big piano-organ on wheels, managed by two persons, for the old fashioned smaller hand-organ. that was carried about by the player, found upon inquiry that, whatever influence the changed conditions might. have had, the carrying of monkeys by or gan-grinders is now prohibited here by city ordinance. There are, how ever, places in which the monkey still forms a valuable part of the organ grinders outfit, and where the nimble little animal, clad in an embroidered jacket and wearing fancy hat, which It doffs for the pennies, still climbs fences and rainwater conductors, and hops up on porehes quite in the old familiar way, in search of contribu- tions While monkeys are not per- tted here, there are men who buy monkeys and train them to sell to organ-grinders who can use them else where; and a well-trained monkey sometimes brings as much as $50. It had seemed. with fewer monkeys in sight. as though there must be fewer monkeys now imported. but the faqf appears to be that, if anything. t importation is just now rather great& than usual, due to the increased de- mand from the show people, who are, after all, the greatest purchasers of monkeys in this country. The organ grinders use considerable number: a few, comparatively, are sold for zo- ological collections, and in recent years few have been sold for pets; but the largest buyers of monkeys are the travelling shows, of which there are. besides the great, modern, conseli- dated shows, many smaller ones, show ing in smaller towns throughout the country. Take them all together, and these shows use up a good many monkeys. The life of a monkey on the road is usually but a single season. The show renews it's stock of monkeys every year.

DISSEMINATING IN CALIFORNIA
Process of Getting the Fruit in Shape
 for Shipment.

The gang moves in a bunch, clip ping off the translucent clusters of muscatels, arranging them upon the trays to shrink and shrivel under the rays of the sun into the concentrated delicacy we know Behind them the lines of trays lie, a basking array of shimmering fruit, and some one inter ested is showing the clusters together, that the tray shall be honestly filled, for the workers arc paid by the tray After two weeks exposure in the dry heat the Il ed trays are ready to be turned so that the grape may be cured evenly. This is accomplished by two men, one on either side, placing an empty tray over the full one, dexter ously reversing it, then. carrying the upper one with them, repeating the process on down the row. It is at this stage in the curing that the grape ia most delectable. The amber is chang ing through ruddy stages to amethyst. and the sun-warmed balls are drops of honey-double distilled, so sweet they make you long with a great thirst for the red water tank shimmering in the sunlight f. .ty acres away; but you must eat and eat, and go on eating even while your palate is cloying with the sweetness. In another week the dried grapes are ready for the sweat boxes. These wide, open boxes con- tain from 150 to 160 pounds, and as the raisins become sufficiently cured they are sorted from the others and placed therein, the large, perfect clusters and the inferior, broken pieces in separate boxes. They are usually carried to sweating-house, a closed structure, in which they soften and moisten evenly. the drying having made the stems ex- eeedingly brittle; or simply stacked in one corner of the paeking=house to await the grading and packing. g.-Land of Sunshine.

PET ANIMALS BECOME PEsTa
Horses, Cats, Pigs. Goats and Rabbits
 All Have Become Nuisances.


 Ordinary domestic animals under fa- verable conditions often become pests. Some instances: In 1897 Nevada passed a law permitting the killing of wild horses as nuisanees. In Washington they are cut up to bait traps Most of the wild horses on the continent are descended from few loosed by Cortez in Mexico. In Australia hunters shoot wild horses, which eat grass needed by the sheep and cattle. Cats have made home op Cat island, one of the Ker- guele1s, where they are so wild that it is impossible to tame them. Their pro- genitors escaped from whaling vessels They were put ashore on Sable island, off Nova Scotia. to kill the rabbits that had become a pest. Now the rabbits are gone and the cats are worse. Pigs were put ashore on many islands, such as Bermuda, the Galapagos and is- lands along the southern coast, as food for shipwrecked sailors. In every case they have multiplied and become wild Capt. Cook put some ashore on New Zealand, where they are now shot as game. St. Helena, mountainous is- land of small extent, 2,700 feet high. was heavily wooded at it's discovery. To-day it is rocky desert, owing to the introduction of goats by the Por- tuguese in 1513. When the goats ate off the underbrusb rain washed away the soil and the big trees tumbled. Rabbits are the worst of all animal scourges in Australia and New Zea- land. They are poisoned, killed for their skins. for their meat; but still they multiply. Cats alone can kill them off; but then cats become a pest also. Since 1873 New Zealand has shipped more than 200,000,0O0 rabbit skins.-New York World.

I did regret that l had not read more carefully the di- rections for putting on the life-pre- server. Meanwhile I tried to find out how near death we were, and just what was the cause of our doom, but the men to whom appealed were as much  frightened or as ignorant as l.

A FREE POLL

OF the state Sought TO be Secured bS
by the Republicans Through the
Census enumerators.
Special to the Register
PARKERSBURG, W. Va, June S.
The assertion is made that the census
enumerators have been directed by Re-
publican leaders in this Stateto ask each
voter about his political belief. The
question is one not authorized by the
government and voters need not feel
compelled to answer the question. The
whole scheme seems to be a plan of
the Republicans to secure a com
plete political poll of the State
at the expense of the govern
ment and at no cost to themselves. 1t
would be particularly desirable to Sc
cure this poll just before the fall cam
paign and the enumerators would
doubtless have no difficulty in obtain
ing it because the ordinary person
would not stop to think that it was not
a question which the enumerator is
authorized and directed to ask. One
enumerator was called down at Nor
gantown by man who asked him by
what authority he asked the question
and he replied that certain prominent
Republican leader had given him in
structions to do it. 1t is the most braz-
en- use Of government employees for po-
litical purposes which has yet come to
light under this administration.
