rnr rnrmInr in AIaskn.

Within the last IS years the new
industry of "fox-farming" has been
developed in Alaska. 1t originated
in the desire to preserve the valu-
able blue fox from determination.
The experiment was begun by plac-
ing 20 foxes on an unoccupied island.
Tn the course of a few years some 80
islands were thus turned into fox
ranches. 1t was found that the ami
mails soon became sufficiently domes-
ticated to cease fearing their keep
ers, and to assemble at feeding
places. Eight hundred or thou
sand foxes are included in ranch.
At the proper age a certain number
are killed for their pelts. The bust
ness appears to pay very well, and
it is suggested that other fur-bear-
ing animals might be domesticated
and propagated in similar manner.

Two John Smiths.

There are two John Smiths in the
little town of Prella, Kan.-one
very stout and the other very thin
and they were good friends until
one day last week, when the thin
John gave the thick John a severe
thrashing. The neighbors were
much astonished at the row, but
laughed when they learned the rea-
son. A green goods letter came to
town addressed to John Smith. 1t
was delivered by chance to stout
John, who read it, and seeing a
chance tor a joke on his namesake,
marked it opened by mistake "
and put it in thin Johns mail box.
The latter resented the implication
and lost no time in hunting up the
Joker. Then the trouble began.

EROUS.

We notice that Mayor Thayer of Nor wich, who has not reluctantly consent ed to be candidate for the Democratic nomination for governor. is inclined to sling language" For instance, in his letter to the Democratic State Central Committee he said: It is true that am not rich. and that there is no time to acquire riches prior to the coming election by any mode known to me. It is thus beyond my power to remove the first objection. Before it was raised I had supposed that the democracy was opposed to plutocracy and in the lan- guage of Mir. Hennessey. That one man is just as good as another, and a dom sight better" I still have faith to believe that the door to the gover- norship is not yet locked against all except the rich, but if it is the fact should be known and I propose to test the strength of the hardware.
 This is interesting, but Mayor Thayer will find that 1t is dangerous for man in politics to have ideas and express them. If he really wants to be gov- ernor he should be serious and still, and not do or say anything that will indicate that he even thinks. He should always bear in mind the example of the man who finally become governor of Connecticut by not having any opinions or many words. He would always listen instead of talking, and at the end of the remarks would gravely say to the man who did the talking: There's @ good
 deal of force in what you say.' That's
 the way to become respected, popular
 trusted, nominated and elected.

4 WORD TO THE AND UNWIsE.

New Haven Is seriously disturbed. Many of the people are excitable and excited. There is always danger at such times of outbreaks which are not premeditated, and whose consequences are regretted. The time to think is be- forehand. The strikers know that their cause will not be benefited by violence, and they have been and intend to be careful in their words and acts. Some of those who sympathize with them have not been so careful. and yes- terday and last evening the peace was at times in danger of being broken. All prudent people will avoid lettering, crowds and irritating public discussion. And those who are not prudent should be restrained. New Haven cannot af- ford at this time to have people hurt as to their bodies, as well as in their feelings and their pocketbooks. Perhaps there may soon be industrial peace. If not let us at least keep the legal peace and come out of the affair whole in body. It wont pay anybody to hurt anybody or to be hurt.

wound on a large wheel, has been pre- viously carefully coiled in the bow Of the boat, which is not anchored. The light boat is dragged through the water with an eyer-increasi sing speed, although the line pays out much faster There IS little danger of the fish lOosening itself Its mouth has firm flesh and the hook becomes very firmly imbedded.
 Presently the shark turns and dashes in some other direction. The boat must be turned by oar or rudder to prevent capsize. The big water scavenger rushes to and fro,6 tiring the arms Of it's enemy by it's marvellous strength, fighting, battling, resisting until the last. The experienced fisherman does his best to keep the shark in motion, for it can only be handled after being thoroughly tired out and he knows there is a battle royal due when the shark is finally pulled to the side Of the boat for the death blow. The struggle lengthens out to an hour or perhaps
 two, the fishermen, for no one ever goes 'sharking' alone, relieving each other at the line Finally the big fish is drawn up and in, struggling but slightly. It is no joke to pull a shark in before it is worn out by the pro- tracted struggle. Perhaps it is drawn in almost like a log until beside the boat. Then it finds few muscles that still have some "go" in them. The | fishermen then are fortunate if the shark decides to make another run in stead of attacking the boat, which it can quite easily crush. At length its
 fast pace is all gone and the fish is pulled to the boats side, while one of l the men stands ready with aX or lance
 to deal the death blow. Often this re- quires both strength and skill. A shark
 dies slowly. Its vitality is amazing. The fishermen, after killing shark, generally turn it adrift, and, if not ut terly worn out, angle for another.
 1 The usual manner of fishing for
 sharks in the Great South bay is with
 the harpoon in place of the hook and
 bait Larger sharks are often caught l and the sport is, perhaps, somewhat
 more exciting A launch is the best
 kind of boat with which to engage in | the sport In a launch one can ap-
 proach to within 50 or 75 yards before
 shutting off power, and drift upon the
 fish in absolute quiet. The harpoon
 once in the fish acts quite as 1t does af- ter taking a hook. The battle with a
 harpooned fish may last little longer
 than that with one that has been hook
 ed, for, although it loses blood, it has
 not the additional handicap of being
 gradually drowned by having it's mouth
 kept open.-Brooklyn Citizen.

THE NILE DAM AT ASS0UAN.

The great Nile dam at Assouan is
 done, and by means of it it is estimated
 that from 60000O to 100000 additional acres of land, now desert, can be
 brought under cultivation, and that B. COG, ,000 acres more, which are in a fair state of cultivation, will be made far more productive. The level of the river above the dam will be raised sixty-six feet, creating a lake one hundred and forty-four miles long and impounding, it is estimated, billion tons of water.
 This in the dry season of the year will be allowed to flow through the great sluice gates in the dam so as to main- tain the height of the river below it, and thus equalize it's flow throughout the seasons. By this means it is thought that wide areas of country will be en- abled to bear two crops a year instead of one. The dam is six thousand feet
 long, is bedded on the solid rocks which form the f1rst cataract or the Nile, and Is built up of cut stone from quarries
 which, it is believed, furnished the ma terial for the construction of the tenn. pies of Philae. Many of the blocks are said to bear the marks of the wedges
 used three thousand years ago. Around | the dam and cataract a canal has beer
 built with numerous locks to allow the
 passage of the river steamers. This
 great work has given employment dur. ing the last eighteen months to sixteer I thousand laborers, mostly Egyptians

They Make a Game Fight and May
 Swamp Your Boat.
 Men crave excitement. The passion for yacht racing, horse, bicycle, foot and other kinds of racing is but the ex- pression of the innate lust for excite
 ment. It is part of the very fiber of the body of each healthy man. and ex-
 citement is sought in many forms and
 after quite as many fashions. One de-
 lights in prize fight that, to other
 men, would be brutal-the extreme.
 And possibly the one who found pleas
 ure in fistic encounters might have funny feelings in the pit of his stom- ach should he witness a bull fight in
 Mexico or In Spain.
 Long Island waters furnish one of the most exciting sports known, and a sport that even the most aesthetic will not enveigh against on moral grounds.
 Shark fishing resembles no other kind of sport save the capturing of sword fish. There is more unadulterated ex- citement in shark fishing than the av- craze person cares often to experience. That it is frequently attended with danger of no make-believe chara cter
 and that this danger announces itself without formality, but adds to the ex- citement. No ones heart beats in it's | customary manner after he has hooked l or speared a good-sized shark.
 Long Island sound, near Matinecock | Point, and the Great South bay are the | best shark fishing grounds known to | the writer. A few words of description of the methods used at both places may serve t0give the read der some slight idea of the sport.
 Matinecock Point which is near | Oyster Bay. is favorite fishing ground with many who like their excitement in large chunks. There sharks of from 8 to F feet in length are sometimes caught. For these no light lines can be used with success. A large hook fas- tened to a stout chain is attached to a | line of strength almost equal to the chain. The hook is pushed through a large piece of meat, preferably meat which the fisherman's nostrils rejoice | to be rid of. The water is from 10 to 60 | feet in depth and quite clear. At times fish may be seen near the bottom. This
 of course, is on calm days. No one need ask what shark bite is. The line spins out with lightning-like velocity
 and the fisherman is commonly yanked nearly out of the boat. The sharks own strength. added to the strength of its dash, fastens the big hook securely Then the fight begins. The line, if not
