been spilled on the counter near the
spot where the lemon lay, and the ants

sugar and the fruit. You may not
believe it, sir, but every time one OF

MARKED SALMON RETURN.
Many of the Fish Come Back to Their
Spawning Ground Every
Fourth Year.

A. C. Little, state fish commission
.er, is commencing to get results from
scientific experiments conducted dur
!. ing the last four years, with the OBJ
iect of ascertaining what proportion
of young salmon turned out by the
state Ash hatcheries return every
fourth year to their spawning
grounds. He has procured numerous
! Ash tails from the Columbia river
fishermen which bear certain marks
placed upon them before the fish
were set loose at the Kalama hatch
| cry. These fish are spawn OF the
salmon caught In 1897, and are, there
fore, four years old. None OF the tails
were obtained in previous years
again proving that salmon return
only every fourth year, says the San
Francisco Call.
The fact that the run OF salmon on
the Columbia river has been unex,
pectedly large this year is believed
To have been due almost entirely to
the great number of fish turned out
by the Washington hatcheries on
streams tributary to the Columbia
Several of these hatcheries have not
been established long enough to gel

TATTooING IN WHITE.
'Maidens at the Seaside Have Utilized
the SUMS Rays for a New and
Novel Fad.

Positively the newest fad of the sea-
shore resorts this season is exceeding
+ ly popular with the summer girls-tat'
tooing in white. How it originated nc
one has been able to tell, but it got
here, as nearly all can testify. One OF
the charmers appeared on the beach at
4 Atlantic City the other day with her
favorite college design apparently tat
ltooed in white on her sun-browned
arm. There was the white flag Of the
University Of Pennsylvania, with the
letters "U. p" and beneath this a
little heart. The thing caused deal
of speculation and something of SEN
sation for long time, but the fair
schemer could not keep the secret and
lot of her chums copied the idea,
which now threatens to spread al
along the coast.
"How is it done2" asked the fair one
in reply to a questioner. That's easy.
Before expose my arm to the fierce
rays of the sun cut out the design
wished from adhesive plaster and
stuck it fast to my arm. When the
browning process was we'll along I took
I off the plaster and there was the flag
in white just as nice as you please"
One Of the fair devotees of fads was
not content to show her college prefer
ences on her arm, but worked out a
design on her neck. 1t is not likely
that many will follow her idea, how
ever, since they must don evening dress
for the hops. Some of them have
gone a step further and allowed the
sun to print upon their fair arms the
initials of their very best young men
4 with a sentimental design accompany
ing them.

FINDING THE LOST LAMB.
pathetic story of a Wayward Daugh-
ter That Touched the Heart
of Eugene Field.

Shortly before the death of Eugenes
Field friend from one of the south-E
4 ern states told him a pathetic storys
of a girl who had wandered away frons
/ her home in the country. She hads
grown weary of the drudgery anul
1 dreariness of her life on the farm, and

and forbidding. But word came TO.
1 him one day that somebody had seen.

Z miles away, and with only that to.
aQuide him he went in search OF her.
Once in the city, he shrank from the
noise and confusion of the crowds. lie
waited until night, and then when the
streets were comparatively deserted
roamed up and down from one
street to another, giving the peculiar,
cry he had always used when looking,
Il for lost lamb-a cry the girl herseifi
Z had heard and given many times I'M
{ her better days. A policeman stopped,
8 the old man and warned him that he,
was disturbing the peace, whereupon.
4 the father told his story, and added:
4 "She will come to me if she hears;
that cry"
a The officer was moved by the old
mans simplicity and earnestness, and
goffered to accompany him in his search
a So on they went, up and down the
7thoroughfares, and into the most aban-i
adoned sections of the city, the farmer
d giving the phintive cry and the ofii-
3cer leading the way that seemed the
amost promising of success.
81 And success did come. The girl heard.
q the cry, recognized it, and intuitively,
Ifelt that it was for her. She rushed
5into the street and straight to her
5father's arms. She confessed the
4 WEAKNESS and misery of her lot, and
3 begged that he would take her back
4 to the farm, where she might begin a
y new and better life. Together they left
81 the city the next day.
y The story deeply touched Mr.. Field.
HE often spoke of it and declared his

q mind whether he should treat 1t in
aprose or in verse, sometimes favoring
