FISHERIES OF AMERICA
Ezow q Groot Industry Has Been Protected
end Extended.

What the agricultural department Is
doing for the farmers of the country
The fish commission OF the national
government. aided by the commissions
)of the several states, is doing for the
fishermen and for all the great inter
ssts which depend upon the products
u the waters. AS the agricultural de-
lartment is introducing new varieties
)f vegetables and is constantly teachs
ng farmers how they may increase
heir crops, so the fish commission in
reduces new varieties of fish, and by
,arefIl and scientific study determines
in wat ways the great fisheries Of the
United States may be protected and ex-
tended Its work is hardly appreciated
by the public, and yet its reports are
fun of information which Is always in
ieresting and sometimes sensational.
The last report of the commission is
just at hand. Here are some items ex-
tracted from IT,
Half-developed oysters and bivalves
which are in poor flesh, as q stock
man would say. are now kept in regu-
lar pens and fattened for the market,
as if they were pigs or other live stock.
More than 10000 pounds Of so-called
caviar, which was sold last year in
Chicago and New York. was really ia
ken from Mississippi river catfish in
stead of from sturgeon.
Since 1890 the number of ships in
the American whaling feet has de-
creased from ninety-seven to forty.
There is steady falling off in the
production of both sperm oil and
whalebone.
There are 10000 men engaged in fish
ing on the great lakes, and the total
capital invested is $6600000. The
number of vessels engaged is 20S, and
of small boats 1900.
In 1885 the total catch OF salted
10000 barrels. In 1886 it was only S0,-
900 barrels, and it has never since
reached a yearly total of 100000 bar
rels. -
Evolution of pearl button from
Mississippi river clam shell.
During the last year the United
States fish commission distributed to
various waters more than 2,000,0OO,0 900
fish and eggs.
The cars of the fish comm ssion trav
eled 10000 miles during the year in
distribution of fish and eggs.
In Florida and other suitable waters
beds, Of sponges are now set out, and
marketable sponges are grown from
small cuttings, just as vegetables are
raised in the same way.
Each year 1t becomes increasingly
difficult to secure lobster eggs along
the New England coast. At the same
time the number OF Holsters taken each
year does not greatly decrease.
The diseases OF fishes are now being
carefully and scientifically studied by
scientist under the direction of the
commission. Already he has found
cures for several fish epidemics which
prevail in Matching stations. Perhaps
before long 1t will be possible to call
the fish doctor when disease breaks out
among the finny tribe anywhere.
Proof that the efforts OF the COM
mission in planting fish in strange
waters have been successful are plen-
ty. Rainbow trout, for instance, are
now caught in Texas. Virginia. and
many other states, where until the
commission planted the eggs. they

HIGH TIDE IN PENSIONS.
(Continued from Third Page)


 mind the Grand Army people somewhat
 sharply that they can no longer expect
 to get as of old all they choose to ask for There are other demands for mofl-
 ey now, that appeal more strongly to | the sentiment and generosity or the
 people, and the politician who IS uhWli-
 ling to be side tracked by the irresistl- ble progress of events must heed those
 demands promptly and in needing them
 must necessarily pay less attention
 than of old to the demands that come
 down to us from a past that IS even
 now growing musty So we may 1eel
 greater confidence than was found Jus-
 tified aforetime in the assurance that
 the high tide in pension expenditures
 has come and gone, Of course TOT @
 long time to come there will be large
 sums to pay out to the old soldiers;
 when the last of the civil war surVi-
 vors is dead we shall still have with us
 the veterans of the Spanish war, and
 under laws that no one will dare to
 suggest repeating they will have to be provided for, even though many of them saw no service except in camps and en- countered no other foe than typhoid fe- yer. But there will surely be less read mess in the next twenty years than there has been in the last twenty to in terfere with the natural dimlnut1on of pension expenditures by constant stretching of the lberality of the pen sion laws.
 Naturally the old soldiers themselves cannot be expected to look with equa- nimity on the change in the public and political attitude toward them; nothing short of death will end their regrets for the time-and it was a long time, too- when the voices of veteran soldiers in the legislative halls at Washington were as powerful as Caesars to command and very nearly as imperious. But the time is gone, and it is impossible to see how it can ever return unless, which is not likely, we sometimes have another war that will be as great and as cen tral a fact in our national existence as was the civil struggle of forty years ago. A growing majority of our re- sponsible legislators to-day, not the very youthful only, but many of the gray-haired as we'll, are men to whom the civil war is chiefly a passage of history learned at school. The voices which such men will most readily listen to, whether the demands made be for money or merely for attention, will be the voices of those who dwell upon the possibilities and opportunities of glo- rious future, not the memories and ca- lamites of even an equally glorious past.
 Pension bills will be paid for an in- definite time to come, the amounts will be large and many unfair awards will be made. But the period of unlimited pension grabbing and of wholesale yielding to all old soldiers requests is ended. The reduction in the pension for the coming fiscal [ year, 1903 may not prove this conclu- | sively; but it is very plainly indicated | in such a protest as Congressman Gros- venor has irritably made, coming from such man as Congressman Grosvenor is.-Providence Journal

TEN MINUTES CURED THE BABY

| TEN MINUTES CURED THE BABY. Captain !. J. Hunker, commanding the naval station at Newport, is long,
 slabsided and lanky, and his chest looks caved in. You would hate to jostle him for fear he would fall apart
 est man in the navy, and can whip
 his weight in wildcats. In a ward
 room mess with Hunker once was one
 of the worst bullies who ever disgraced
 the American navy. He was six feet
 tall, Hercules in build, and could put a longboat on his back and pack it ashore. For the first week that he
 joined the ship he made it hell for everybody on her. On the seventh day. when breakfast was over and he got up to go out of the wardroom Hunker asked him to sit down again He re- quested all the other officers of the mess to go on deck and stay there till he sent for them. They could see in his eye what he intended to do, and it was a pity; he was thin as a rail and stoop- -shouldered-bent as if with a cough. But they went out and left him with the giant Ten minutes later Hunker invited them in again, The bully looked as if he had been through a meat-chopper. He went to bed and stayed there for three weeks. To this day he is an angel of grace and courtesy.-NeW York Press

| bank statement had as little influence
 to-day as it had after it's publication 1 on Saturday. Bankers are generally ! disposed to keep their reserves well in
 hand and to wait for the foreign re- l quirements to define themselves better.
 The continued discussion of the af-
 fairs of the trolley syndicate, and oc- l casional changes in the plans of the ad- l journment committee keep up the dis i turbing effect of that episode.
 | The special heaviness of the Atchison and of the New York Central to-day was due to the dissatisfaction felt in the present speculative temper with capital expansion and new bond issues with prior claims over stocks. Reports from the west are that railroads are feeling some relief from the effect of car shortage. The news had little effect on the market Equally without influ- ence was the news of much needed moisture from rain and snow in the winter wheat belt. To-day's weather news while it weakened the market for wheat, failed to strengthen that for stocks.
 Considerable interest attaches to the foreign situation just at present, owing to signs of speculative revival there. It is evident that the long liquidation in Germany has now progressed to point where accumulated capital is becoming burdensome again. The London mark ct is obviously diseounting with great CT faith than in a long time the end of the Boer war. But their interest in speculation also turns towards South African mining securities and toward home railways, which begin to show signs of recovery in earnings and promise of dividends. There is even organized effort to induce American capital in combination to embark in KafIirs. These symptoms suggest the inquiry whether the next revival of &C., tive speculation will not be shifted to foreign markets and foreign securities, owing to the surfeit of American in- vestment demand and the somewhat waterlogged condition of American se- curit.es.
 American Tobacco sold to-day at 800 and there were advances of 1& to points in the other tobacco stocks, the Glucose stocks, Metropolitan Street Railway, American Smelling and Brooklyn Union Gas. But this did not affect the general downward tendency of stocks. Chicago, Burlington and Quincy unassented stock closed to-day at 22O bid, compared with POS bid on Saturday. Standard oil sold in the outside market as low as 615, but ral lied somewhat.
 Consolidated Tobacco made up the bulk of the bond market which was otherwise dull and irregular. Total sales par value $5,010.000.

which justice is the foundation. But
you can't have the top without the bot

You must build upon justice for this
main reason, that you have not at first
charity to build with. 1t is the last re-
ward of good work. Do justice to your
brother you can do that whether you
love him or not and you will come to

begin with begins at home and is es-
sentially love of yourself.-Ruskin.

The one Man Right.

CopernicuS was at one time alone in
his belief that the earth and planets
revolved round the sun. Galilei was
right when he asserted that the moon
revolves round the earth, and so was
Columbus when he asserted the posi-
biiity of sailing round the world. But
in all these cases it is possible that 9th
ers, unknown to fame, may have
shared their beliefs.
There are two instances in which one
man was absolutely right and, so far as
we know, all the rest of mankind
wrong. One was that of Newton, the
discoverer Of the principle of universal
gravitation, and the other was that of
John Harvey, who was absolutely
alone in his conviction that the blood
circulates through the veins and arte-
ries Of living animals. In this instance
SO universal was the disbelief that his
fellow doctors nicknamed him "the
quack," or Calculator" and the word
survives to this day as the name of one
who makes a profession of medical
knowledge which he does not possess.

THE CATFISH ZONE.
And the Origin of the Philadelphia
Habit of Catfish and WaHes.

Habit of Catfish and waMes.
While pessimists have been denounc-
ing the extension of the pie belt
through the United States and the en-
largement of the saleratus biscuit dis
trict, they have been entirely Gblivious
of the extraordinary developr ent Of
the catfish zone. This miscnievous
dweller of the pool is known to the
small boy and the rustic angler under
many names-in one place as sucker,
in another a bullhead, in third a wolf
fish and, most outra geous Of all, in
northern Mississippi as shad. But it's
own only genuine title is catfish. The
name is derived from the fact that
when the creature is raised from the
water it emits granting protest which
poetical fishermen have pronounced
like the purring Of a family cat.
Philadelphia produced the catfish
habit. For two centuries the animal
was looked at as something which
might be eaten to prevent starvation
until one fine day thrifty Quaker
found that the catfish would eat boiled
cornmeal and that this simple Good not
only fattened the eater, but changed
the color of its belly from white to
yellow. He perceived the pecuniaryi
value Of the discovery and established
catfish farm in which he fattened the
fishes which he caught elsewhere and
in due season sold them to the Phila-
delphia markets.
A Quakeress soon after that discov-
cred that the old fashioned waffle,
slightly sailed and covered with melt
ed butter, made an irresistible accesso-
ry to the fish when we'll fried. This
started the catfish and wafhes, for
which the City of Brotherly Love has
ever since been famous The habit
spread like an epidemic, and, like the
star of empire, it's way was westward.
So far as is known the United States
/. government has no record of catfish
and waff1es east of the Delaware river,
but Starting at Philadelphia distinct
catfish zone runs westward, terminal
ing at Denver, reaching as far north
as Minneapolis and st. Paul and as far
south as Mobile and New Orleans. The
catfish is said to possess medicinal yir-
tue. It is mildly anasthetic, sop &c
and antispasmodic.-New York
