The general and greatly increased
favor with which caviar is received
has caused a great drain upon the
sturgeon fisheries OF Europe, aud
those Of the United States and Can
ada which, within the past few years
have been called upon to meet the de-
mand, and in consequence are ap-
preaching exhaustion When the call
for sturgeon roe was first made most
Of the supply was procured from the
northern rivers flowing into the At.
lantic aud from the great fresh water
lakes on our northern boundaries
especially from the Lake Of the
North. Within the past two years
there has been a very large catch in
set nets and pounds of the beaches
Of New Jersey and Long Island. This
has ded measurably to the supply
Of eggs, and has proved a most profit
able industry to the fishermen. With
the ocean take aud that Of the rivers
and lakes our annual production Of
roe for the making Of caviar cannot
be less than 2lO, 600 pounds. The
weight Of roe in proportion to that OF
each fish is from ten 70 fourteen per
cent As no one who uses this deli
cacy will consume more than an ounce
for a single portion, the contribution
Of the United States aud Canada is a
valuable addition to the European
output. The weight Of eggs taken
from each female sturgeon varies;
those taken on the spawning grounds
carry a much higher percentage Of
roe than those caught in the sea
while on the way thither The fsh-
ermen near market have two profits
from the fish, the flesh aud the eggs.
The former is palatable if it be freed
from skin and fat before cooking.
Otherwise, when heated, it gives OF a
most repuguant odor.

II IL Wonderful How Many finds Are
Made NJ This Day.

Made NJ This Day.
Every stamp collector lives in the
hope Of some day making "A great
fad, and it is wonderful how many
such finds there are even at this late
day It is now nearly sixty years
since the first stamp was issued, aud
il is between forty and City years
since stamps we're generally used.
AS an instance Of how old stamps
are coming to light. the writer's ex-
perience is rather interesting. IN one
week he saw the following:
A collection of about 200 stamps in
an old torn aud dirty book was handed
to him by a gentleman who had made
the collection when he was a boy
About 175 Of the stamps had "a
badly damaged in the handling, had
by the glue which had been used to
afix the stamps to the leaves Of the
blank book, aud among them were
quite a number Of good stamps,
cataloguing to-day from 81 to SO
each. OF the remaining twenty-five,
which were in good order, and prac-
tically IN mint condition. one was
catalogued at $50, one at S25, three at
$40, aud the balance at various prices
down to s.. A liberal offer for the
book was refused, and the chances
are that the gentleman will begin an
other collection.
A collection Of about $50 stamps in
shocking condition was shown to a
dealer. Only one stamp in the entire
book WAS worth anything 10 the
dealer, who tried to buy the collec-
tion, but could not, although he
offered to place a falr price on it ifthe
owner would agree TO sell at that
price. The dealer intended to offer
$500, but the owner refused to place
a price on his collection, or to agree
to the dealers terms. Two days later
the dealer obtained the stamp from
another collector, who had purchased
the collection, for few dollars. The
one stamp 10 the collection was the
Hawaiian 1851 issue'of the so-called
Missionary stamps 1t was in beauii-
ful condition, and is now in the hands
Of a collector, who paid a very large
price for 1t.
A large publishing house in Ne y
York City received in payment OF a
small bill a portion Of a sheet Of
United States 2c. 1879 issue, and
large block Of the 1872 Be-, together
with a number Of the 373 &c. aud lOc.
stamps They were all in the Sane
condition as when originally issr "a,
over twenty gears ago.
In looking over a lot Of rabbish in
the attic, a friend Of the writer found
an old collection wbieh he had made
in 1865, all in good, clean condition.
The finder he's now two boys of bis
own, and one is an enthusiastic stamp
