To Stock Waters With shad
Cwashington Megsenger.l


In proof of the assertion we have made
that no representative of the First Con-
gressional district, has been more vigilant
or active in looking after the interest
of his constituents than Hon. Jno H
Small, We refer to the order just issued
through the influence of Mr.. Small, by the
United States Commissioner of Fish and
Fisheries to Superintendent Worth. of the
Edenton Fish Culture Station, to make
plants of shad in Pamlico and Tar Rivers,
and also in the Pasquotank, Perquimans,
Roanoke, Scuppernong and Chowan rivers
and in Albemarle Sound. The stocking OF
these streams with shad will in a
short time increase the supply of these
waters, to the benefit of our fishermen and
people. The same thing was done some
years ago, and in a short time the catch
of shad was greatly increased. And there
is no doubt in cur mind, the present move
ment will be followed by the same result.

DEN1soN, IOWA, FRIDAY. DECEMBER II,
Denison Man Sees Minnesota.

PHnBRooK, Mimi, Dec. 10. 1901
Editor Review. Dear Sir: have
been thinking that perhaps some OF
your readers would be interested in
Minnesota land, so I concluded to write
a sketch of my trip.
We left Denison on the night of Dec.
I'd via the I. c. route. At Ft. Dodge
crowd of land seekers came in that
nearly filed the car and more came in
at most all stations until we had trav-
eled quite q distance in Minnesota.
We were not in the smoking car, but
as there were no ladies in the car it
was not long until things were blue
with smoke.
They were drinking, singing, yelling
and dancing all night. Nobody could
sleep or feel comfortable. When We
arrived at Forrest City we heard the
cry of SNOW" which however was
only light. After we crossed the line
our first stop was ten minutes for lunch
at Albert Lea which looked to be quite
large place with electric lights. OF
course we could see nothing of the
country till we we're near Minneapolis.
1t was quite broken and covered with
oak and some pine grubs, dotted with
numerous lakes which would make
beautiful scenery in summer. Arriv-
ing at Minneapolis we realized that
the people we're thoroughly awake and
up'to-date. Everybody was rushing
here and there. All the passengers
but three left: our car finally pulling
out for st. Paul. We expected to see
things nearly the same but were con-
siderably disappointed. Very few pas
sengers. street cars running empty or
nearly so most of the time. We never
saw 80 many empty store rooms aud
handsome residences as there. We
stayed until Wednesday morning and
took in most of the city We visited
the Indian mounds, seven In number,
which stand on the bank of the Mis-
sissippl. We climbed to the top of two
OF them which afforded a beautiful
view OF the river both ways. With our
glass we could see other towns miles
away The government fisheries are
just below. Just above stands the
ruins Of q forty thousand dollar resi-
dence made of brick and the most
beautifully carved stone that we ever
s.w in q building. Leaving there al
S:50a m. we started on our journey
north and west. After getting out q
few miles we came into as beautiful a
country as ever laid out of doors. Level

through just enough to drain the land

boarded the train there pointed out q
beautiful farm house; must have had
nine or ten rooms, with large barns
and out buildings, the land nearly as
level as floor ana about ten or fifteen
feet above the level of the lakes. He
said it sold for $50. 90 per acre. A few
miles further we dashed into more
rough land covered with grubs and
boulders some ten Or fifteen feet square,
then rougher aud more boulders in
heaps rs large as good sized house.
Then in a few minutes we were out in
as fine prairie as the eye could wish
to look upon, finally arriving at Little
Falls which has population of 1000
We had to change cars. Stopped there
from p. M. till $50 p. m. We talked
with farmer who had so acres of land
and said there were four Kinds OF soil
on the 80 acres and that it was about
the average Of land. Spots of the best
of soil and spots of sandy soil. This
seems to be about the. run of land all
through these parts. Where there
has been hard wood there is good soil,
and the pine land is sandy. There has
been heavy timber nearly all over but
| it has all been cut off.

II 10 said that the Norman peasants
hit upon happy scheme or deecinY
Guy de Maupassant, who once main
tanned near his home at Etretat rab-
bit warren OF few acres. They used
to plant choice vegetables and rare
shrubs In the adjoining fields. and ev-
cry year De Maupassant had to pay
for the damage done by his rabbits.
After few years he got tired OF this
sort Of thing. He computed that the
few rabbits he shot cost him about
500 apiece, which was rather too much
even for an enthusiastic sportsman to
pay; so he determined to destroy his
game preserve. There were only four
or FIVE burrows In the Enclosure, and a
few ferrets soon dislodged all the in
.habitants.
One night after the rabbits had been
destroyed the writer happened to visit
his former preserve and detected a
man skulking along under the trees,
with large bag slung over his shout
der. De Maupassant supposed that the
man had come to steal wood and chal-
lenged him. The supposed thief took
to his heels, leaving behind him his
bag, which was found to be filed with
rabbits OF both sexes. The man was
an honest neighbor, who, shrewdly
reasoning that there could be no dam
ages II there were no rabbits, had
thought II advisable to restock the
warren himself.

Dogs often have 10 be trained to
climb stairs. instinctively distressing
the upper stories. 1t has been conjec-
tured that this Is because the dogs
forelegs break easily below the shout

The fox has no such fear and has been
known to climb a tree with plenty or
small limbs to the height Of seventeen
feet. Swimming comes easier than
climbing to most animals as well as TO
many races of men. Rats and guinea
pigs can swim well and do not climb at

Bears can climb well II little. but the
grizzly and other large species stay
mainly on the ground. A bear always
climbs down a tree backward. as does
the domestic cat until she has nearly
reached the ground. when she turns
and jumps. but most wild cats run

leopard being a more skillful climber
than the light house cat. The tiger

To Cure Round Shoulders.

In the case OF round shoulders the
muscles Of the back are likely to stiffen
from disuse. A special exercise to get
them into a timber condition seems TO
be necessary. Stretch out and down
with the arms until they nearly touch
the floor. bending back In like manner.
To successfully accomplish the latter
sit on a stool before an upright piano
or heavy desk. plant your knees firmly
against the furniture until you have a
good support then slowly bend back
ward with your hand pointed over
your head. At first you think you will
surely crack in half. SO stiff are the
muscles. but astonlshingly soon comes
the pliabiltJ, and as 1t Is impossible
to fall your progress is easy and rapid.
This exercise If persisted In will
straighten ont curved spine. but 1t
must be done gently and with patience,
because the tendons In the back are
delicate and must not be coerced.
