A system only exists in the minds Of

in the minds Of men there must be
something very vile about their minds.

ALASKA SALMON.
Procession of the Four Varieties Of
This Superb Fish.


There is nothing more curious con
nected with the fnny tribe than to
watch the doingS of the salmon family
in Alaska" said an Alaskan dealer.
''The most singular thing Of all is
that after the females deposit their
spawn their earthly career terminates,
and l have seen the bottoms of creeks
covered with their dead bodies. They
give birth to thousands of their kind
and Immediately die. The young ono.
are then taken care of by the male
salmon, and it is a we'll known fact
that in three years from their birth the
offspring reappear OH the very ground
of their origin. There are four varic
ties Of this superb fish which make
their appearance in regular order Of
succession.
"In the spring the first to arrive is
the magnificent king salmon, which
weighs all the way from fifteen t.
ninety pounds. About June l comes
the sookcy Or red salmon, which visits
our shores in enormous numbers and
which is the common canning variety
A little later appears the log salmon.
which only the Indians will eat, an1
finally, in August and September, tire
beautiful silver salmon arrives, tie
prettiest fish in all the world and one
of the most Dalatable.
"When the salmon enter the fresh
water by 4 curious trick Of nature
their skin becomes red, but this pink
hue does not affect the whitenoss OF
their flesh 1t is seldom that salmon
will journey up a glacier stream, but
the streams that have lakes at their
heads literally swarm with them. =

Strength OF the Condor.

The enormous strength Of the condor
is only equaled by his voracity and
boldnees. This immense bird often
pounces upon small animals, but from
the shape and bluntness of his claws
he is unable to carry anything very
heavy, so he contents himself Win

Of his claws, while with the other and
his powerful beak he rends it to pieces.

Dog with Ice Appetite.

There is little brindle bull terrier
not more than three blocks from the
Post building which has developed an
unwonted appetite for ice. Each morn.
ing as the wagon with the CONCEALED
fluid arrives Pansy may be seen at the
door in an attitude of expectancy. d.
rectly that the small chunks begin to
fall Pansy gets busy chewing ice and
keeps the game up until the wagon
rolls away.
The driver said the other morning:
That's the only dog ever ran across
with thirst for ice. They tell me it
doesn't drink, SO I'm inclined to be.
lieve it's a real Eskimo strayed from
home. The owner tells me that one
morning lately, when I was held up
and didn't get here on time, that
darned dog howled two solid hours for
Post.

RULE THAT WORKS WELL.
Prompt Service Pleases the Makers
Of Appropriations.

They have standing rule in the
office Of the adjutant general of the
army" remarked a high government
official the other day, that might be
adopted with profit by other bureaus
OF the government. The rule is that
every communication received from
member of congress must be &C.
knowledged the day of it's receipt.
That means not only that an answer
shall be prepared, but also that it shall
be actually delivered the same day.
Messengers are employed for delivery
purposes instead of the mails. This
plan is followed during the sessions
OF congress, and also during the re.
cesses in the cases of congressman
still in Washington. Congressman are
naturally pleased with this prompt
service. and show their appreciation
when the appropriations for the adtu-
tant generals Office are under consid.
GRAFTON. Consequently, the adjutant
general gets all the clerks and mes.
sengers he asks for, and is able to
carry his system Of rapid correspond.
ence into successful execution. II 9th.
er bureaus Of the government treated
the men who make the annual appro.
priations with the same consideration
they might in turn receive more lib.
eral gifts from the national legisia-
ture. regret to say that he cannot
do it in our bureau, for the simple rea-
son that we have not the employees to
put on that special work."

GIANT CRACKER WAS REAL.

James L. Pugh Of Washington IL a.
ways ready to play joke on any
OF his friends. and, according to gen.
ial Lum Harper, chief assistant to

delight in "deviling" him. According
to Mr.. Harper, about the worst" Mr..
Pugh ever did was some years ago,
when Judge Miller was on the bench
and Gen." Coxey's army was in town.
The court had received several let.
tiers stating that If the general" was
sent down to the workhouse that the
courthouse would be "dynamited. !"
one morning after Coxey had got.
ten what Judge Miller thought was
coming to him, Mr.. Pugh came into
the lower court room with a giant
firecracker, which looked all the
world like a fake" for the reason
that 1t was covered with advertising,
He laid 1t on the clerks desk. Mr..
Harper contemplated 1t for moment
and as 1t was before the opening of
the lower court, he was smoking a
cigar. In moment he touched the
light to the fuse and watched it burn,
while Mr.. Pugh just stepped back
and "laffed." Baliff Cole was stand.
ing with his back to the desk and Mr.
Harper, not watching, when the
cracker exploded like cannon. OF
f1cers rushed into the court room
thinking some one had been shot, and
word was brought downstairs In a
moment that Judge Miller, who had
been hearing case from the bench
had dumped about six feet" It IL
said that he thought the place was
being blown up by the friends Of
Coxey. and when Mr.. Harper came up
stairs a NEW moments later to ex
plain that it was not an anarchistie
attempt, but prank of Jim Pugh.'
he said he felt much relieved and
hoped it would not occur again. Now
