Not Worth a Cow.

Some of the public men in this
country who occasionally hear from
their constituents may think that
they know what it is to be ''roasted,"
but they are in error. 1t is only in
New South Wales that the lowly
voter has really trenchant pen and
can express himself properly. In or
der that those serving in an official
capacity in this country may realize
how truly fortunate they are, the
following extract from letter writ
fen to member of parliament by a
disappointed office seeker may be
given:
"Soon after you was elected by nv
hard workin a Teller wanted to bet
me that you wouldn't be in the house
moren a week before you made
haas of yourself. l bet him a COW on
that, as l thought you was worth it
then. After l got your note saying
you declined to ackt in the matter |
druv the COW over to the feller's place
an told him he had won her, That's
all l got for howlin meself horse for
you on pole day and months befoar."
Possibly there may be a suggestion
in this for disappointed American
office seekers, too. At any rate it
would seem to deserve place in the

CANADA'S BIG FISH CATCH.
Value of the Great Industry Is Be-
yOnd the Ordinary Mans
Conception,

The annual report of the depart
ment of fisheries, which has just been
published at Ottawa, shows that no
less than 7o,s6s men were last year
earning their living by exploiting
Canadian waters, using $500, 760
fathoms of reel and other fishing gear,
representing a capital of $4,000, 900.
Nearly 1900 schooners and tugs
manned by 500 sailors, as well as TO-
s92 other fishermen, using over IS, 900
boats, found occupation in this vast
industry. The lobster plant alone is
estimated at $1,334, $50, comprising $50
eanneries, dispersed on the seaboard
of the maritime provinces,
No less than 1S,70s persons found
employment in this branch of the fish
ing industry, using 100000 traps.
The salmon preserving industry in
British Columbia, comprising 60 can
neries and representing capital of
$1.3s0,OoO. gives employment to 1897
hands. The amount of capital invest
ed in the fisheries last year exceeded
that OF the year previous by $3.50, 743,
and 71e more men were engaged in the
industry.
The total value of the catch of fish
in Canada for the year amounts to
$21, s91 ,706, being an increase of about
$2'25o,OOo over the preceding year.

STRANGE PLACE FOR BAPTISM
The Daring Feat Performed by n Lion
Tanner i'm Cape Town, South
Africa.

An extraordinary ceremony was
performed in Cape Town few weeks
ago. A lion tanner had been giving an
exhibition for several days, and one
evening he informed the audience
that he had just become father and
he intended to baptize the infant on
the following day in the lions cage.
Those who heard him thought he was
joking, but when they reached the ex-
hibition hall the next evening they
found that he was in dead earnest.
In the cage he stood, surrounded by
his assistants, and near him were
seated three women-his wife, one of
her friends and the godmother of the
infant. To the left of them stood the
clergyman, holding the baby in his
arms, and behind him was a gigantic
African named Leo, who was to act as
godfather on the occasion. Facing
this fearless group were two huge
lions, whose every action showed that
they were UNNECESSARILY surprised at
the intrusion of so many strangers
into their domicile. Moreover, their
surprise was the greater since, in
honor of the event, their cage was
wreathed with flowers and splendidly
illuminated with electric lights.
The ceremony was duly performed,
and while It lasted the lions behaved
with perfect propriety," much to
the satisfaction and surprise of the
immense crowd which thronged the
hall.

JOKE ON ESSAY WRITER.
How n Shrevd Ann ArbOr Student
Made Use of His Clever
Friend.

There was at Ann Arbor once upon A.
time youth clever at writing essays.
Outlines he turned his ability to ac-
count by providing at stated rates
college essays for lads either too lazy
or dull to evolve these of their own
composition. But while the aforesaid
youth was weight of great learn
ing he lacked certain shrewdness in
affairs, says the Chicago Chronicle.
One day friend came to him in sore
distress, saying that of him was re-
quired within "a hours an essay on a
subject of which he knew nothing.
The college sage engaged to provide
a 600-word etfusion for the princely
sum of So, and on being told the
theme ground out marvel of erudi-
ton and polished diction in an hours
time. This he turned over to the
friend. who promptly paid over the
three simoleons. Then the latter dis
patched the de-while-you-wait es-
say to friend of his in distant uni
versity town, who was the real per-
son of whom this particular thesis
was required. In accordance with an
arrangement which previously had
been made the youth in the far-away
burg sent by way of compensation a
check for SIS, which the lad with the
wisdom of the serpent coolly pocket
ed, smiling sardonically as he thought
of the learned but uhsophisticated
collegian whom he had exploited.

A SIMPLE-HEARTED BARON.
The Late Willy Won RothschiId Was
True to His Faith and Very
Charitable.

Perhaps the most typical Rothschild
of all his distinguished race was the
late Baron "Willy" Won Rothschild,
who died recently at Frankfort-on-
the-Main, says a London exchange.
He was noted for the simplicity of his
life and his extraordinary devotion to
work. When his brother, Baron Meyer
Carl, died in 1886, Baron 'Willy" be-
came sole head in Frankfort and at
tended to every detail, great and small,
of his clearinghouse. He himself
signed every letter and document and
opened all correspondence. Power of
procuration was given in the firm only
few years ago to facilitate the dis
patch of business, and even then was
made use of only during the baron's
rare absence from Frankfort.
Many stories are told of the bar
on's orthodoxy in religious matters.
The business was always closed on
Saturday, no matter what sacrifices
it might entail. On Sabbaths and
holy days the baron always walked,
riding being forbidden on these days
to the strict Jew. More striking still
was his adherence to the Jewish pre-
cept to give literally tenth of ones
earnings to the poor, so that the dispo-
sition of his bounty gave him much
hard work. A great deal of his char
ity was anonymous. Baron Won Roths-
child was at work on the evening be-
fore the day of his death, giving per-
sonal attention to the reports of bust
ness and distribution of charities. The
funeral few days later was charac-
terized by absolute absence of dis
play, and even the simplest flowers.
Yet crowds of people, from personal
friends to the poor he had helped,
thronged the street to witness the
passing of the cortege.

In the longitude of the agricultural

AN ANCIENT FAMILY TREE.
The O'Neils of Ireland Took Great
Pride in Their Great
Antiquity.

f. L. O'Brien, of Dublin, in speaking
of the antiquity of some of the Irish
families, according to the New York
Tribune, told the following story:
There lives in the north of Ireland"
said Mr.. O'Brien, "a family named
O'Neil. Their greatest claim to prom
inence lies in the fact that they are
the oldest family in the United King
dom. When Plantagenet, Tudor or
Guelph was not the O'Neil was. They
ruled as kings before even William
looked with covetous eye across the
English channel toward the white
cliffs of Albion. This long line of de-
scent has bred in the family rever-
ence for their ancestry that approach
es idolatry. The handspring of their
life and action, the pride of their be-
ing is that long line of dead and long
since forgotten O'Neils carry them
back in the direct line to the dark
ages.
"As may be imagined, their family
tree is colossal in it's proportions. 1t
has length of something like IS or 10
feet, and when it is unrolled at the
castle holy hush falls over all. To a
visitor there some years ago was, in
due course of time and as special
mark of favor, shown this marvellous
pedigree. Stretched on the enormous
billiard table, it Tapped full three
feet at each end. The visitors eye ran
back over that lengthy line of O'Neils,
long since turned to dust, and he won
dered why they took so insane pride
in their descent. just then he be-
came conscious that that thought had
occurred to other aliens who had be-
foretimes seen the O'Neil family tree.
A penciled note in the margin, about
halfway down the tree, caught his
eye. 1t read: Just here came Adam i"

FULL-BLoOD INDIAN IN NAVY.
Chapman Shenandoah, an Oneida, Is
a Member of the Attain
tA's Grew.

The only full-blood Indian in the
United States navy is member of the
cruiser Atlanta. His name is Chap
man Shenandoah, and he is an Oneida.
having been born on the reservation
of that tribe 30 years ago. He is the
grandson of Shenandoah, "The Deer"
who, in his day, was one of the most
notable men of his tribe.
At the age of IS Shenandoah could
neither read nor write, but had a
natural talent for mechanics, and aft
er he had seen steam engine for the
first time he went to his home and
built one out of such material as he
could find. He became a student at
Hampton institute and after seven
years of work was graduated, but re-
manned at Hampton as an assistant in
the machine shop.
When the war with Spain broke out
he enlisted in the navy and served at
first as fireman ON the San Francisco
and later on the New York under Capt.
Chadwick. He was mustered out of
the volunteer service when the war
was over, but reenlisted at once and
was assigned to the Atlanta.
The Indian sailor is described bv his
friends as fine, stalwart fellow of
whom his tribesmen have good cause
to feel proud.

PARL1AMENTs OF THE WORLD.
The United States House of Represent
tatives Is Small According to
European Standards.

The largest parliamentary body OF
lawmakers is the British house of
commons, the membership of which
Is go. The French chamber of depu-
ties, representing constituency
numerically smaller than the British
commons, has membership of 5S4.
the Italian parliament sos, the Hun
garian house of Representatives 452,
the Spanish cortes All, the Austrian
reichsrath 425, and the German reich
stag, the smallest of the European
parliaments, 397, says the New York
Sun.
The present membership of the
house of representatives is 357, which
is less than that of any of the Euro
pean law-making bodies, and the next
house of representatives will be made
up of 1856 members, small increase
when compared with the growth of
population and the requirements of
representation for each state as fixed
by the federal constitution. Each of
the four territories (there are now
only four) will have delegate, bring
next congress to 800, larger member
ship than is the rule in legislative

In large American states the gener-
al tendency is to limit the member

not be unwieldy, though there are $50
members of the lower house of the
Massachusetts legislature and 1874
members of the lower house of the
