FISH THAT CLINE STAIRS.

In Travelling TO summer Haunts They
Display Ac~robatio Ability.
It is not an uncommon thing to see
on pleasant days, when the fish are
running at East Taunton, hundreds of
men, women and children clustered
around the hshway watching the fish
struggling up against the strong cur
rent and trying to get into the smooth
er waters above the dam, where they
may shoot off at leisure to the spawn
ing place in the Nemasket, says the
Boston Herald. The ishway is so con
structed that it is impossible for the
fish to make a clear swim from top to
bottom or vice versa. They must work
up the river in the eddies, for the tide
is also very strong there near the dam
and until they reach the lower part of
the fshway. Thence they struggle and
Wriggle into the lower entrance of
the fshway, thus making sure of At
least a chance to rub up against the
boards and rest before they begin their
wearisome fight for the top and smooth
water. 1t is in the fshway that the
interest Of the average spectator is
centered. since here inc fish can be
seen plainly in punches almost thick
enough for one to walk across on their
backs, and where n may easily reach
down and pull them out Of the water.
They are generally packed in so thick
that they cannot escape the quick
moving hand of man or boy. From
right to left and from left to right,
steadily, slowly, they keep on in the
effort to get out of the fishway, and it
is n of the prettiest sights imagin-
able to watch the little fellows, plucky
and game to the last, as they almost
imperceptibly work out of one passage
way into another and crowd each other
against the corner. No matter how
many people are close to them, so close
that they could be touched with the
hand or cane. they appear to pay no
attention to their interested audience,
but keep right on about their business.
A Waterman is on duty at the fshway
all of the time to see that no one dis
turbs them, but when his attention is
taken up by questions that are asked
frequently, those who like the fish
right out of the water smuggle them
out and are away before they have
been apprehended. 1t is understood
that there are thousands of these her
rings stolen in this way and other
ways before they get to the clear water
but there doesn't seem to be any help
for it.

Old Commercial Houses Adhere to Prlmi-
tive Method of Lighting.
Electric lights are coming into more
general use all the time in the City Of
Mexico as the various companies add
to the capacities of their plants. Three
companies are now furnishing electric
light and power. An American COM
pany is preparing to erect a modern
gas plant. Several gasoline lamp COM
panies are operating in the republic
through local agents. Candles, how
ever, remain in very general use among
all classes. Petroleum costs from 60 to
20 cents a gallon, while tallow candles
of local manufacture can be purchased
as low as one cent each, this price nat
urally for a small taper. Mexican
workmen can get along with less light,
apparently, than any other class. In
rome of the old fashioned offices Cf I'm
portant commercial houses no other
light than tallow dips is ever known.
A bookkeeper may be seen making his
entries in a great ledger with the light
of a single candle, and the wealthy
proprietor may be found bending over
his big mahogany desk fanked by two
tall and stately candelabra. A Mexi-
can printer can work with a candle
stuck carelessly into one of his boxes,
and two tailors in the small shops can
be seen sharing the rays of a single
dip. The opportunities for the sale Of
better lighting apparatus in Mexico
will be great when it can be provided
cheaply and of simple construction.
The great difficulty experienced with
most Of the gasoline lights that are
on the market here is hat they require
careful attention, and in the hands OF
ignorant Mexican servants they soon
get out of rder.-Pennsylvania Grit.

ARTIFICIAL snt Is Valuable.

Artificial silk apparently can be
made, but it answers to the real thing
as ol%eomargarine nswer to butter.
Going the rounds of the papers of Con-
tinental Europe is an item that three
factories for the production of artif-
cial silk are in operation; that one, in
Wolston, England, produces 5000
pounds a week; n in Besancon,
France, 10000 pounds, and n in
Spreitenbach, Germany, $500 pounds.
1t is stated, furthermore, that other
factories will soon be built in Belgium
and in Germany. Before the Frankfort
Society Of Natural Philosophy DR..
Freund, in a recent lecture on the sub
ject, said that though artificial silk
can compete with natural silk, it is not
as valuable. Artificial silk has been
used as a covering for cables and as a
substitute for horsehair, but it has a
tendency to break If wetted, and, there
fore, it must usually be mixed with
natural silk and cotton. The artificial
silk is cheaper than the natural, and
more brilliant effects can be produced
with it. This industry, which is said
to be purely chemical, is expected to be
developed to its fulleset extent in a
few years,-New York Press.

On the grounds around his new man
sion at Fifth avenue and Ninetieth
street, in New York, Andrew Carnegie
has set out a grove of large trees,
some Of which are seventeen inches in
diameter. Among the Twenty-Five
trees moved are twelve sugar naples,
three elms, five poplars and one silver
leafed maple. Landscape garden
ers say these trees are the largest ever
transplanted. They were brought on
large trucks from the borderlands of
Connecticut, having been carefully up
rooted by machinery that preserves
the fibrous roots and also protects the
branches and twigs from the slightest
injury. One tree, with the earth at
tached, weighed sixteen tons, and the
branches of one elm spread thirty feet.
All are coming into leaf with no indl-
cation of impaired vigor. MIR. Car
negie's orders were to spare no eX-
pense to insure the utmost care.

German postmasters have been so
annoyed by eccentricities in the shapes
and sizes Of the envelopes ~inclosing
mail matter that a bill is to be intro
duced in the Reichstag prescribing the
size and shape of envelopes. The chief
annoyance is the delay in stamping
the letters with postmark and cancel
ing stamps, for these odd-shaped and
odd-sized missives will not pass
through the stamping machine in such
a way as to receive the stamp properly.

HIS cAR EARE CANE.
senator Jones Is Never without a Nickel
OF Recent Years.

Probably the most extraordinary
cane in this country Is one of goodly
proportions carried by Senator Jones,
the Nevada millionaire, and the reason
he clings to it as tenaciously as he
does is quite unique.
Many years ago Senator Jones, then
president of n bank in San Francisco,
started to ride home on n street car.
When the conductor came around for
the fare Mr.. Jones discovered that he
was without a cent. He got Off and
walked back to the bank, where he Sc
cured a handful of change. Il wish 1
had a walking stick that would hold
100 nickels." he said, "and then a thing
like this would not occur"
This remark was repeated in the pres
ence of Judge Goodwin of Salt Lake
City, who started a subscription to pur-
chase the nickel-holding cane. A very
handsome walking stick of ebony,
with a heavy gold head, was procured,
and the inside was followed out and
100 nickels placed therein. The cane
was later sent to Washington, where
Mr.. Jones happened to be staying, and
he carries it with him to this day.

Alex. Mcdonald, who seven years
ago was one Of the best known work
ing miners Of Aspen, Colorado, has had
signal honOrs conferred on him at
Dawson City, in the KlondiSe.
A few weeks ago Mr.. Mcdonald was
made knight of st. Gregory by author
ity of a special letter from the Pope.
Mrs. Mcdonald, kneeling beside him
before the chaucel railing of st. Ma
RVS church, pinned the insignia Of the
order upon his breast. The presenta-
ton was made by Rev. Father Gen
dreau, who secured this signal honor
for the Klondike gold miner after long
correspondence with Rome, in the
course of which he pointed out Mr..
McDOnald's generous be~nefactiOns to
the church at Dawson. The ceremony
of presentation was the most largely
attended of any service ever held in
the Klondike.
Mr.. Mcdonald is the richest miner in
the Klondike. His wealth is estimat-
ed at $5,OOO,0O0, and he is commonly
known as the "King of the Klondike."
Prior to six years ago he was a worker
in the mines of Aspen. Then he left
Colorado to seek his fortune in the far
North. He was working at the Tread
well mine in Alaska when the first
Klondike excitement broke out and
was among the first to locate claims
on Eldorado and Bonanza creeks. Az
ter striking it rich he founded the
Dawson hospital during the winter of
1898, and also gave $4,000 in gold
dust and nuggets toward building st,
Mary's Catholic church.
The decoration Of st. Gregory has
been previously conferred upon only
two other Canadians, former Prime
Minister MERCER and former Governor
Chapleau, both of Quebec.

Chicago club and society women are
not 10 be outdOne by B%ostonians and

started in that city to organize a
'Woman's Cross Saddle Riding Club"
The prime mover is Mrs. E. e. Steele,
manager Of the wOman's department OF
the Mutual Life Insurance Company.
1T is such an Improvement over the
old fashion, said Mrs. Steele 30 a re-
porter, "that l am certain it will be
adopted by all Of the women horse
lovers in Chicago. The movement is
sure to be popular, for it is so thor
oughly practicable. 1t rests with the
men entirely, however. If they APP
prove the road will be easy. There are
hundreds Of women in Chicago who
would like to ride cross saddle now,
but they are afraid to because of the
universal prejudice against it. There
are many who can't ride side saddlefOr
physical reasons who could and would
be glad to ride cross saddle"

Awoman is sick-some disease peculiar to her sex is fast
developing in her system. She goes to her family physician
and tells him a story, but not the whole story.
She holds back something, loses her head, becomes agi-
tated, forgets what she wants to say, and finally conceals
what she ought to have told, and this completely mystifes
the doctor.
Is il a wonder, therefore, that the doctor fails to cure the
disease? Still we cannot blame the woman, for it is very en-
barrassing to detail some of the symptoms of her suffering,
even to her family physician. This is the reason why
hundreds of thousands of women are now in CORE
sDOndence with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. To
her they can give every symptom, so that when she is ready
to advise them she is in possession OF more facts. from her
correspondence with the patient than the physician can
possibly obtain through a personal interview.
Following we publish a letter from a woman showing the
result of a CORRESPONDENCE with Mrs. Pinkham. All such
letters are considered absolutely confidential by
Mrs. Pinkham, and are never published IN any way OF
manner without the consent in writing of the patient but
hundreds of women are 80 grateful for the health which Mrs.
Pinkham and her medicine have been able to restore to them
that they not only consent to publishing their letters, but
write asking that this be done in order that other women
who suffer may be benefited by their experience
Mrs. Ella Rice, Chelsea, Wis, writes:
