In England q great deal Of interest
has lately been centared on the pro-
liability of having deep sea tiah on sale
IN their markets. For several years
pasf the British trawiing steamers have
extended their operations to more re-

gone IN far north az the shores OF lee

Money at. the Fair.

Restaurant keepers and lunch counter
proprietors will reap rich harvest dur
ing the fair said travelling man from
ST Louis yesterday. "A sightseeing
multitude Is usually hungry multitude,
and those who will feed the hungry thou
sands during the exposition will make as
much or perhaps more than the men who
furnish beds Hot cakes are great staples
at all fairs. OF course those who secure
permits TO do business on the grounds
will have the advantage of their compel,
itors on the outside, but every street
leading to the fair will be well lined
with pushcart men, quick lunch resorts,
and refreshment stands. All of thesc
will do a large business. OF that you
may be assured.
1T would be interesting to know how
much food the crowds at st. Louis will
consume during the fair, but of course
1t is almost impossible to make any cal
eulations on the subject. However, the
man who has plenty of energy and hus-
tie can go to st. Louis and make a nice
roll of money by feeding the crowds
and many will take advantage of the
opportunity to thus reap at least a part
of the golden harvest"

seasiokness on Land.

ut is astonishing how easily some peo-
pie get seasick when they are hundreds
sof miles from the ocean," remarked a
well known physician yesterday. "Of
course you have known people who cam
not ride on railroad trains without
being nauseated, while others can
not endure the gentle swing of a ham
mock. Now billiousness is largely to
blame for this, although some people are
so queerIy constituted that they never
get over the weakness, no matter how
much they ride or swing I hate to think
what would be their predcament If they
should try to cross the ocean.
"If you have never been seasick you
never want to be- OF all the miserable
states consider this the worst. AL
most any kind of pain is easier to endure
than the feeling Of utter wretchedness
which comes over the unfortunate who
is seasick. He or she feels that death
would be a welcome relief and the hard
est thing to bear is the jeers of unfeel-
Ing friends who think seasickness quite
joke and exult in their superiority over
the wretch who succumbs.
And seasickness is very hard to treat,
into the bargain. While there are many
remedies suggested by experienced trav-
elers and physicians the fact remains
that there is little for the invalid to do
but wait for his attack to pass away with
the greatest equanimity he can COM
mand."

Salvation Army Bands.

81 have often wondered" said we'll
known musician, "why the Salvation
army corps in all parts Of the country
90 not have large brass bands. 1t seems
to me that 1t would be of great advantage
to the Salvation army soldiers If they
would pay more attention to the musical
part of their work If they had fine bands
they would attract even more people than
they do now.
1T does not seem to me any harder to
organize a capable band in the Salvation
army ranks than among any other people.
There are plenty of soldiers to draw from
and time to practice is usually not a mat
ter of great difficulty. I sincerely hope
that in course Of time the Salvation army
will come to be distinguished for its ex-
celent musical organizations, and every
hard will have competent director inc

Observance of Holidays.

''The observance of special holidays by
the various divisions OF the large cos
mopolitan population Of New York City
has perceptibly declined in recent years"
said New York man. although the
Italian population of New York has been
steadily increasing, the observance as a
September holiday, of the date of the &C.
cupation of Rome by the Italian troops
has become desultory. There is no large
holiday celebrated among the numerous
Germans in New York, and the former
jovial observance of 'Pfngst Montag' has
fallen into neglect There is a limited. if
not perfunctory, recognition of the Polish
and Hungarian patriotic holidays in a
few districts. ard the French festival of
the 14th of July is perpetuated as a char
table rather than as a patriotic occasion.
But there is one celebration which does
not decline In vigor of heartiness, but re-
mains perennally brisk and lively in OBJ
servance. and that is the celebration of
st. Patricks day.

THE DUEL.

By Eugene Field.
The gingham dog and the calico cat
Side by side on the table sat;
Twas half-past twelve, and what do you
thinkD
Nor one nor t'other had slept wink
The old Dutch clock and the Chinese
plate
Appeared to know, as sure as fate,
There was going to be a terrible spat
II wasn't there; l simply state
What was told me by the Chinese plateD
The gingham dog went 'bow-wow- wow!'
And the calico cat replied .mee-owr'
The air was Uttered an hour or So
With bits of Bingham and Calico
While the old Dutch clock in the chim-
ney place
Up with it's hands before its face.
For 1t always dreaded a family rowi
tNow mind; I'm only telling you
What the old Dutch clock declares In
trueD
The Chinese plate looked very blue.
And walled, "Oh. dear! what shall we
do?''
But the bingham dog and the calico cat
Wallowed this way and tumbled that.
Employing every tooth and claw
In the awfulest way you ever saw
And, oh, how the bingham and the calico
flew
Don't fancy I exaggerated!
l got my news from the Chinese platen
Next morning where the two had sat.
Iney found no trace Of dog or cat;
And some folks think unto this day
Ihat burglars stole that pair away!
BUT the truth about the cat and pun
Is this: They ate each other up!
Now. what do you think OF that!
Cine old Dutch clock 1t told me so.
And that is how l came to known

RussIa's Bottled Warships.

Bottled in the black sea are two
first and six second class warships
: and the seal is pressed down by both
the treaty Of Paris ana the treaty oil
.erlin. Unless the Sultan of Turkey
will give his consent these warships
in the Black sea cannot come out
save by trGmpling under feet the two
treaties that were signed as the re-
suits of two wars.
But Russia has as many or more
ships bottled at st. Petersburg by ice
in the Baltic sea, and there they will
remain until May But when the ice
is gone 1t is difficult to see how the
Baltic feet can go to the Far East
for Russia has no coalfng stations, AMI
that feet is no match for the Japan
csc ships.
The rest of the Russian navy is bot
tied at New Chang, Port Arthur and
Vladivostok. Perhaps one-half of hei
ships are shut up at ports in the Far
East, one-quarter in Baltic ports, ami
the remaining quarter in the Black
sea.
In other words, the entire Russian
navy, ranking next to Frances, Oh
the third in the world, has been bot
tied up by little Japan in a month I
time. So far as action and aggressive
work are concerned the Russian navy
has ceased to exist. 1t is now a navy
for limited defensive purposes only
and 1t is almost valueless for such
purposes.
If Japan succeeds before May In
capturing Port Arthur and Vladivo
stok she will have nothing to fear
from the ships in the Baltic and
Black seas, for she could readily de-
feat them If they should be sent to
the Far East. The chances are much
against the dispatch of any more Rus.
rian warships to the scene of hostili.
ties in eastern waters.

Cement Rocks of Alabama.

Every newspaper office in this state
should procure a copy of senate doc
ument No. 10 of the first session Of
the 18Th congress. It relates to the
cement resources of Alabama, and it
includes a large map prepared by
Prof Eugene A. Smith, state geologist,
showing at a glance the deposits of
cement rock in this state.
The belt of st. Stephens limestone
extends across the state, its width
varying from ten to twenty miles. 1t
crosses Henry, Dale, Geneva, Coffee,
Covington, Conecuh, Monroe Clarke
and Choctaw counties. The towns un-
derlaid by it include Grove Hill, Old
st. Stephens, Monroeville, Pepton and
Geneva.
The deposit of Selma chalk does not
extend beyond Macon county, but from
the east side of Macon 1t runs I'M
broken to the Mississippi line. The belt
is wider than the one farther south,
its width being from fifteen to twenty
five miles. It crosses Macon, Bulloch,
Montgomery Lowndes, Dallas, Perry,
Hale, Marengo, Greene and Sumter
counties. Professor Smith divides
this deposit of -.luable cement rock,
from which true Portland can be
made, into the Selma division, the
Demopolis division, and the Portland
division. Rock for the manufacture
of true Portland cement can be OBJ
tanned in any one of the three di-
visions, and in many places the rocks
stand exposed, cut through by the
numerous streams of this state. The
clays needed in combination with the
rock in the manufacture of Portland
cement are also close at hand.
Professor Smith says the st.
Stephens limestone lis more uniform
in composition, higher in lime con-
tent, softer and more easily quarried
and crushed, and in geographical posi-
ton many miles nearer the gulf. Its
thickness on the other hand is much
less, although sufficient to supply an
indefinite number of manufactures
with raw material for cement"
In view of the digging of the Pana-
ma canal the cement rocks of Alabama
are valuable. No other cement rock in
this country lies so near tidewater on
or near navigable rivers. Every news
paper should secure a copy of senate
document No. 10 and spread its con-
tents before its readers, and if posi-
BILE, the rest of mankind.
