The Production Of Caviare.

Two distinct varieties of caviare are
manufactured in Russia-the granulat-
ed and the pressed forms. The granu-
lated form is obtained by passing the
fish roes under pressure through fine
meshed sieve. The small eggs pass in
tact. but the envelopes are retained in
the sieve. To these pure salt is added
in the proportion of one-twentieth or
one-fortieth. 1t is intimately mixed
with the eggs by means Of kind of
wooden spoon. The caviare is then
ready for consumption. 1t is packed
in round metallic boxes of one and a
half to five pounds and enveloped in
parchment for transportation. The
pressed caviare keeps better than the
sranuiated form.
To obtain it the fresh cayiare is treat
j with solution of salt al % degrees

The Trunk Paid.

Some years ago man ran up bill
Of 5000 in the fremont House. Chica-
go. and then ran away without settling
1t. The trunk which remained in his
room was unusually heavy and when
opened after his departure was found
to contain specimens Of ore, brought
from the gold and silver mines of Col
orado. where presumably he had lost
all his money. After waiting out the
legal time Mr.. Gage sent the contents
Of the trunk to an assayer. who return
ed two bits Of metal valued at more
than 500 in excess Of the bill after
deducting his own fees.

poet and in something like wrath asked
him to read what he had written. On
hearing the recital of his exploits he
smiled grimly and seemed by no means
displeased But" he exclaimed. I'm

and recited to Tam the following verse.

Hunting Balloons In south Africa.
The balloons which frequent this
rocky country are so destructive to the
stock farms that organized raids have
to be made dpon them. 1t is useless
trying to get shot at the balloon dur
ing the day: he is willy creature and
knows the deadly effects of rifle just
as well as the hunter. 7t%a
Early in the morning the party leave
the farm and quietly surround the
kranz. or rock. where the unsuspecting
balloons are sleeping. At the first
break Of dawn the head baboon Is on
the move, to see that everything Is
right. He no sooner makes an appear
ance than he is greeted with shower
of lead. In an instant the whole troop
is in an uproar They rush hither and
thither. bowling with rage and pain
looking for place Of escape. But few
of them succeed. Directly the hunters
have retired. the blacks. who have
been following up the party. make
rush for the tails of the balloons.
Sometimes they are In SO great hurry
to secure these that they fail to OBJ
serve that the baboon is not dead and
an ugly bite or tear is the result. The
tails are taken to the magistrates Of
fee. where a reward Of Is. Cd. each is
paid for them by government.-London

but at the same time because the
Governor did not agree with that
paper on the one question of liquor,
it goes TO work and gives him a two
column excoristing editorial, charg
ing him with weakness and pronounc-
ing the whole message very weak. 1t
did not give him credit for saying
anything else, and in its treatment OF
the message. The State simply
proved itself not only guilty OF what
it charged the Governor with being,
but elso demonstrated that it is very
biased. 1t is great thing that peo-
ple do not all think alike, and when
any Governor is Influenced solely by
the dictatorial opinions of one or two
newspapers and has no opinion OF his
own it is time for him to vacate.
Aud so far from being cats paw, as
was insinuated by the State, We think
Governor McSweeney has shown
himself to be mana man who not
only has convictions of his own, but
dares to express them, even against
the opinion of so powerful critic as
is the Stste.

it is one which has come to be almost
a matter of indifference to our peo-

question we will have to excuse him.

that we have too much legislation.

the matter could be made plain in
few minutes. The bill was immedi-
ately recommited to be made plain
enough for non-professional Senators

Senator Appelt's bill to take Clar-
endon county from under the oper-
ations Of the seed cotton license law
came up in the House of Represents
tives last week, but representatives
from the adjoining counties OF Sum-
ter and Crsngeburg fought the meas
ure and it was killed. Dr.. Woods
also opposed the bill, while Alessrs.
Richardson and Jones worked for 1t.
This is about the third effort to get
Clarendon out from under the opera
tions of an unjust law, but adjoining
counties defeat the measure every
time. While the people Of Clarendon
bave about gotten used to the law as
it stands and it would not make much
difference to them now whether it
is repealed or not, and while its re-
peal would also cut the county out Of
about three hundred dollars revenue,
yet this does not remove the fact that
the present law works hardship
against poor people by restricting
and limiting the sale by them of an
innocent commodity like seed cotton.
That old argument about negroes
stealing cotton from the fields and
selling it is no good, because there
are always a lot of Illicit shops under
the present law that buy seed cotton
and encourage stealing anyhow.
While the subject has almost come to
be matter of Indifference with the
people, yet we believe the present
law is contrary to the constitution
and would be set aside if it were put
to a test, because the constitution
will not allow any such discrininat-
ing legislation.
