I'm m ense Herring Traffic.

The annual North sea herring voy-
age, Which begins off the Northumber-
land cDast, has resulted, on the COM
pletiop Of the first stage, in a catch o.
over $4,000 Grams of herrings, valued
at aboat $4,000. A Gran contains, ac-
cordink to size. from 600 to 1000 fish.
AS tho fish move southwark the big
feet If several hundred sail follows.
and it is now making its headquarters
at Grimsby, whence its operations will
shortly be transferred to Yarmouth
and Lowestoft, where the fishing con-
tinues until Christmas, and affords enl-
ployn.ent to many thousands of both
men and women, says Tit-Bits. Last
year 1t Yarmouth alone no fewer than
34S,00,O 900 herring; were landed, and
as this year steam fishing boats have
largely replaced sailing vessels, it is
expected this great total will be far
exceeded, for in a single week 10000
Grams have been taken on the northern
grounds, giving a return of over E14.-
900 to the fishermen. 4

CAUSES SURPRISE.

Connecticut Man Declares His Assess
Inent Is Much Too Low.
Robert NJ. Bruce, one Of the mil
lipndres Of Greenwich, Conn, a former
cotton broker and friend of E. c..
Benedict. has caused surprise by ap-
pcaxipg before the board of assessors
<i the town and asking them to have
his assessment raised so per cent, says
1he New York Sun. He said that he
had never paid any attention to the
making ont Of his list of taxable prop
erty. leaving it with the assessors He
Ind looked the matter up recently and
had decided that he was not paying all
Tint he should into the town treasury
aad he ask ed for the raise. The asses
sors promised to comply with his
wishes and it Is understood that they
Wild raige the taxes of all other mil
Nonares there TO- some extent. Mr..
Rrnee's example is the subject Of much
stnment. For many years past Green
aEich he's raised 100000 by taxation,
and has spent $4,000 more than it
raised The debt has rolled up 10
nsx-ly $4Qo.0 The town appointed
an investigating committee and the
RfsarbcTs i.cp5rted that more money
Huss be ra'sej by taxation. Fixing up
ahe taxes last fall was plt over until
next spring. The assessors figured up
Ihs amount Ct taxable property and an
tnrrcsse OF the tax rate seemed prob
able. Persors who have looked up the
matter say that there appears to be
os. law for the poor man and another
Fur the rich man. The law says that
ei.sh property owner must put in a
true ligt OF the real value Of all prop
cry. real and personal, but the general
ruIe among persons OF moderate means
has bce!isto pay on GO per cent OF abe
ra!sa. The mil.ionaires in some in
etaaces haze no. paid on 10 per cent Of

Dentists Sponge In Wtndpips,

Sponges which are used in surgical
operations once in a while are left in
the bound, and then death is bound to
ensue soon or later. A young English
collier named Finney had eleven teeth
extracted under ether by DR.. Griffiths,
and when efforts were being made to
restore him to consciousness he sprang
from the chair. fell back and died.
Sponges had been placed in his mouth
to ABSORB blood from the gums, and
one Of them. which was left in his
mouth by inadvertence after the ex-
fractions had been made, entered the

Most Tongues Have No Bible.

The terms Of the Arlington bequeN

the disclosure Of the fact that there are
hundreds of tribes without version
OF the Bible in their tongues, in spite
of the splendid efforts that have been
made. 1t is estimaEed that there are
1000 languages and dialects in the
world, and the British and Foreign
Bible Society have had the Bible, the
New Testament. ana portions Of the
scriptures translated into a little over
400 Of them. That leaves. roughly
speaking, 900 different tribes and peo-
Piles who have not the word in their

these tribes live in Central Africa, 9th

Diseased BY Eating Dead Rats.

One whole family and two guests
were the other day afflicted with trich-
inae poisoning from eating sausage, in
Nicollet county Mimi. A microscopic
examination of some of the muscular
ittue from ore OF the bodies confirmed
the diagnosis of trichinae poisoning.
The hog whose raw flesh was used in
the sausage. after being merely
smoked. was raised and killed and is
supposed to have contracted the dis
ease by eating dead rats. It Is said by
the physicians that rats are almost al
ways afflicted by the disease, and that
eats often die OF it after eating them.

accidents Concerning Beginning Of
Line Of Boats.
The Collins line of American steam
ers was established in 1S47. Two years
later, on April 81, 1S49, its 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 q, 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 70,
1856, the Pacific sailed from Liverpool
with 24O 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 old
iron, she was converted into sailing
ship and used as a grain carrying YES
sci between San Francisco and Great
Britain until 1880, when she was bro
ken up. When the civil war began the
n Nov loo
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

FACTOR in POLITICS.
Now Federation Of Australia Must Here
after he Considered.

Australia is to Great Britain TIE
most valuable Of all her colonies,
writes Hugh M. Lusk in the North
American Review. The external In
fiuence OF Australia in the south Pacl"
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 lnhu-
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.
hNt che evi1 not no cOntant with these
for very long. Siam, French and south
ern Chiua and Borneo are natural
marts for her trade, which in the next
ten years will be rapidly increasing
one. and, in relation to all these. she
will EXPECT to exercise large influence.

repaired to the flashing home, where a

filed with guests, and the kaufman
