FAMILY FORTUNES.
IMMENSE WEALTH OF SOME
AMERICAN MILLIoNAIREs.
Croesus of Old with All His Vaunted
Wealth Was Poor by Com

Capitalists.

The great fortunes that have sprung
recent decades to-day. in the opinion OF
many serious thinkers, constitute a
menace to our national we'll l.being, says
Cleveland Moffett. in writing OF The
Shameful Misuse Of Wealth." In Success

In America, no Haunting of feasts and
follies, no riot Of extravaganza; with
them we may expect all the evils that
have In previous civilizations attended
upon enormous riches. And many of
these evils. as we have already seen, are
actually with us.
It is admitted that we are the richest
people in the world to-day-the richest
people the world has ever seen. The
vaunted wealth of Croesus is estimated
Mt only $4,000. 900. but there are 20 Amer

Title of Prime Minister.

The title of prime minister was un.
known till the beginning OF the eigh-
teenth century, and the gentlemen who
first filled the position and were so
called objected to the title. which was
regarded as a sinister importation
from France. and as conveying the
meaning Of grand yizier, something
despotic and unconstitutional. William
Ill. had nobody In his council who
could be said to correspond to our

VARIETIES OF TRUFFLES.
The Violet Is Most Highly Esteemed
and the Summer Most
Common.

or varieties we may mention, first,
the violet troufIie, which abounds in
Perigord and Provence, says American
Homes and Gardens. II Is covered
with polygonal warts and often marked
with rusty spots. Its weight usually
ranges from 60 to 100 grams 1.-TWO to
3is ounces), though specimens weigh
ing 500 grams (more than pound)
are sometimes found. At maturity,
which 1t reaches in late autumn or
winter, its flesh is black with a reddish
or violet sheen. Its agreeable flavor
and delicate odor make 1t the most
highly esteemed of all varieties.
The black trufIle. smaller than the
preceding. and of variable size. is
found about four inches below the sur
face of the ground. Its flesh is gray
or blister, marked with light red spots
at maturity. II is not In very great
demand. because Of its musky odor.
The st. Johns or summer truffle is
gathered in July or In October. The
tubers OF this species are rounded, and
have a brownish black skin and large
polygonial warts. striped transversely.

growing under horn beams, birches
and hazel bushes. Though its rather
coarse. onionlike odor lessons its value,
II is almost the only variety seen In
the markets OF England, Germany and
Piedmont.
The truffie. known as the 'grosse
fouine." or "pitchfork." somewhat re-
sembles the st. Johns truffie. but is
distinguished from It by the smallness
of its warts. its moderate size, rough
black skin and dark. tawny gray

RETURN OF HATCHERY FISH
Marked Salmon Retaken in the Co
lumbia River After Four
Years

what is believed to be the best evil
ience of the efficiency of artificial
propagation of salmon that has ever
been secured was recently obtained by
Fish Commissioner Kershaw relative
70 the operation OF the ha,cheries ON
he Columbia river. said Deputy Fish
Commissioner Perry Baker recently,
according to the Seattle Post lntelli-
gencer. "Mr. kershaw received tails
and fms of 100 salmon from u single
trap owner on the Columbia river that
we're plainly marked hatchery fish.
When the hatcheries were placed
in operation on the Columbia river
system of marking was adopted for
the purpose of ascertaining II any Of
the salmon turned out of the river re-
turned to their native spawning
grounds. and in what length OF time.
THE marked fins and tails received
by Mr. Kershaw we're found to be sal

ma and Chinook batcheries four years

taken in 1900 and the young salmon

."The Columbia river was practically
depleted when the artificial propaga-
tion of salmon was commenced on
that stream. and the past several years
has demonstrated that 1t has been re-
stocked by some means.
while only a part of the fish were
marked when released from the hatch
cries. the fact that one trap owner on
the river found at least 100 of these
salmon during the past season is con-
elusive evidence that artificial propa-
cation is the only solution of the prob
lem to prevent the depletion of the
salmon fisheries.
"Mr Kershaw asked a number OF
the Columbia river cannerymen and
trap operators to watch for the marked
salmon. but during the rush Of the
season it was apparently overlooked,

ceived

Court.

Hay. in Franklin in France" in Cen

pulse Of free thought that then infiu
eDced the mind of France-that sus
ceptible French mind that always an
swers like the wind harp to the breath
OF every true human aspiration-that
even the highest classes had caught
the infection Of liberalism. They
handled the momentous words Liberty
and Human Rights in their dainty
way. as IL they were only a new game
for their amusement, not knowing
what was TO them the terrible import
OF those words. It became very much
the accepted thing at court to rave
about Franklin. The young and love-
ly queen, Marie hntoinette. was most
winning and gracious toward him.
The languid courtiers crammed
natural science to talk with him. The
small wits who knew a little Greek
called him Solon and Aristides and
Phocion.
II is sad TO think of the utter un-
consciousness of these amiable aristo-
Gratis. They never dreamed that this
man Franklin was n portent and a

They never imagined that in showcring
their good.natured homage upon this
anstcre republican they were sowing
the wind which would ripen in an aw-
ful harvest of whirlwinds. Later.
when the whirlwinds had hardly got
velopment. the queen lamented bitter
ly the folly OF these ovations to the
great democrat. There was one saga

Court incense could not turn the
philosophic head any more than the
loud acclaim of the people. When
Franklin found himself the honored
guest Of royalty, his thoughts reverted
to those faraway days of his boyhood
when his father used to quote to him
in the old candle shop at Boston. the
words OF the wise man, "Seest thou a
man dligent in his business? He shall
stand before kings" The old sage
heard the echo of that paternal voice
resounding over half a century, and a
new and strange light as of prophecy
fulfilled. illumined the immortal
words. Surely no man ever lived more

man ever stood. with more of the In.

Not Star Spangled.

Tar and feathers is not peculiarly
American institution. as has been sup
posed 1t was Richard the Lion Heart
ed who first proclaimed this punish
ment. II was when he was setting out
for the third crusade that he gave
warning that "a robber who shall be
convicted OF theft shall have his head
cropped after the fashion Of Cham
pion and boiling pitch shall be poured
thereon and the feathers of cushion
shall be shaken out on him, so that he
shall be known" At the first landing
he was to be set ashore, no matter
wnere the ship might land. and the ABB
sencc OF a rail was doubtless due to a
lack of that sort of fence. Perhaps the
western continent may still lay claim
to that sort of punishment. but the
tar and feathers are no longer our
own.
