hmm ense Herring Ira ffic.

The annual North sea herring voy-
age, Which begins off the Northumber-
land cuast, has resulted, on the COM
pletiOE of the first stage, in catch O:
over $4,000 Grams of behring's, valued
at aboat 10000. A Gran contains, ac-
cordins to size. from 600 to 1000 fish.
AS the fish move southwark, the big
feet II several hundred sail follows,
and it is now making it's headquarters
at Grimsby. whence its operations will
shortly be transferred to Yarmouth
and Iowestoft, where the fishing con-
tinues until Christmas, and affords em-
ployn, ent to many thousands Of both
men and women. says Tit-Bits. Last
year 1t Yarmouth alone no fewer than
$4,000, 900 behring's were landed, and
as thus year steam fishing boats have
largely replaced Sailing vessels, it is
expected this great total will be far
exceeded, for in single week 10000
Grams have been taken on the northern
grounds. giving a return of over G14,-
900 to the fishermen.

Grave Filling Device,

A device for use in constructive
graves, the invention Of Henry D..
Cameron, Of Burlington, Iowa, is de-
signed to fill the grave with earth after
the coffin has been lowered, and to
conceal as far as possible the actual
throwing Of tie dirt upon the coffin,
the most trying termination of the
grave ceremony to the bereaved
mourners. 1t consists Of receptacle,
with detachable sides and bottom, and
4 gate in the latter SC arranged as to
be capable Of being opened to allow
the contents to fall. The front is a
flexible curtain, extending from the
top to the gate, and designed to pre-
vent the earth within from being seen.
This receptacle is filled with earth
previous to tie ceremony and carried
to a convenient point. When all is
over and the grave is to be- filed. the
receptacle is placed over 1t, and the
gates opened, thus gently closing the
last sad scene in much more fitting
manner than the seemingly cold
hearted return Of the earth with q
spade.

Nest Tongues Have No Bible.

The terms OF the Arlington beque.>
o. a grsat sum of money to the various
missionary societies has resulted in
the disclosure of the fact that there are
hundreds Of tribes without a version
of the Bible in their tongues, in spite
of the Splcndid efforts that have been
made. 1t is estimaJed that there are
1000 languages ard dialects in the
world. and the British and Foreign
Bible Society have Lad the Bible, the
New Testament. AMI portions of the
scriptures translated into a little over
400 Of them. That leaves, roughly
speaking, 600 different tribes and peo-
pies who have not the word in their
own language or dialect. Many of
these tribes live in Central Africa, 9th

Bcnj amin HarrisOn's Lunch.

Ex-President Benjamin Harrison,
one of the ablest men who has figured
in our public life, has always been
handicapped by his unresponsive, cold
manner. When he was in the senate,
at Washington, D. c., in the early sos,
he always brought his luncheon to the
committee room. He carried it in his
coat pocket and would eat it while he
went on with his work One day when
he got it out as usual from his pocket
he looked 1t all over ruefully, for 1t
did look rather fiat and dubious. He
finally remarked to those near by that
he guessed he must have sat on it &C.
cidentally. One of his colleagues-one
who had recently been ignored by Har-
rison-spoke up impulsively: well,
by Jove, Harrison, if you've sat on it,
I'll bet you sixpence it is frozen
solid,' and Of course a shout went up
from the whole committee. Harrison
took the joke kindly and Joined in the

after BE Considered.
Australia Is to Great Britain the
most valuable Of all her colonies,
writes Hugh NJ Lusk in the North
American Review. The external In
fluence Of Australia in the south Pac1-
fic is bound to make itself felt before
long. Those who know Australia best
will have the least doubt that she Will
find means ere long to use that ln1u-
ence for purposes beneficial to herself.
Her people were far from pleased
with what was done in the case of Sa-
moa; and it is safe to say that no
such policy of concession will ever
command the assent of united Austria
liza. The sphere of her first interests
will, for the present, be confined main
ly to The Pacific and Indian oceans to
the south Of the equator. She will be
interested in the Loyalty group, where
France is established, and in the New
Hebrides, where she is very anxious to
establish herself. She will be solicit
GUS about the Solomon islands, part
Of which are at present recognized as
German territory, and she will take a
very deep interest in the future Of New
Guinea, part Of which belongs to Ger
many. and the rest, beyond the British
section, is understood to form part OF
Hollands great but little used estate
in the eastern archipelago. These will
undoubtedly be Australia's first cares,
but she vii not be content with these
for very long. Siam, French and south
ern China and Borneo are natural
marts fer her trade. which in the next
ten years will be a rapidly increasing
one. an:, in relation to all these, she
will exIact to exercise large influence.

EARLY STEAMERS.
accidents Concerning Beginning Of {
Line Of Boats.

The Collins line of American steam.
ers was established in 1847. Two years
later, on April q, 1S49, it's first YES
sci, the steamer Atlantic, sailed from
New York. The line was withdrawn In
1857, soon after the government had
refused to renew the mail contract
with it. The history of its steamers
briefly told, is as follows: On Septem-
Der u, 1854, the Arctic came into col.
lision with the French steamer Vesta
and was sunk, only few Of her pas
sengers being saved; on January %,
1856, the Pacific sailed from Liverpool
with 240 persons on board, Including
the wife of Mr.. Collins, and was never
heard of afterward; the Atlantic was
broken up in New York in 1879; the
Adriatic, built at Greenpoint, N. Y, by
Steers, was sold to the Galway COM
pany, and was afterward used as a
coal hulk in England; the Baltic was
in the government service during the
civil war as a supply vessel, and was
afterward sold at auction; her ma
chinery being removed and sold as Cd
iron, she was converted into sailing
ship and used as a grain carrying ve5-
sci between San Francisco and Great
Britain until 1880, when she was bro
ken up. When the civil war began the
New York and Havre Steam Naviga-
ton company, to which the Fulton
and Arago were chartered, was with
drawn; the Arago was then sold to the
Peruvian government, while the Full
ton became United States transport
vessel for awhile, but she soon became
useless and was broken up.-New York

CAMPAIGN EXPENSES

The most expensive work OF ma

solved upon a personal canvas Of every
doubtful voter in the state. He pro-
posed that every voter not classed on
the polling lists either as downright
Democrat or downright Republican
should be visited by some jealous and
tactful member of the Republican par
ty. Before election day the thousands
of such men in towns, in cities and IN
the country were sought out and ap-
pealed to by the Republicans most
likely to win them; and this canvass
is said to have cost the Republican
national committee more than $2O0,OOO

that presidential campaign, including
also congressional, gubernatorial and
lesser campaigns, causes the total e1'
