Coffee, the insprer.

The Italian composer, DOnizetu,
courted inspiration by a means
which proved so injurious that 1t
caused the premature decay of his
faculties. He vas accustomed to
shut himself in his room with J!
quantity of mu-ic paper, pens. and
ink, and three oT four pots of strong
coffee. He would then begin to
write and drink, and when the sup
ply of coffee was exhausted, he
would order more, and continue to
drink as long as he wrote
He asserted that the coffee was
necessary for, his inspiration. The
result of this pernieioAs habit, was
a yellow, parchment like complexion
with lips almc t Jet black, and
nervous system, which soon caused
his breakdown and death.

CATCHING FISH IN BASKETS.
An Easy Method Which Obtained
Around the Bay of Fundy.

The Bay Of Fundy has always been
n famous fishing ground especially
for salmon and shad. Fifty years
ago the fish were so plentiful that
met hod was used TO catch them
which seems odd nowadays when
fish has at least half chance to es-
care the hook or the net.
The tide rises high In the Bay OF
Fundy and its headwaters, and OF
this fact the fishermen of fifty years
ago took full advantage At high
tide the water, makes stable rivers
of tiny streams. Large schools OF
sshad and other fish in those days
came up the river with the tide.
The method of catching them was
simple in the extreme. At low. tide
seine would be staked to the river
bed and the top OF the seine weight
ed to the bottom with leads. Then
after the tide had risen the fisher
men would pull up the seine so that
AZ formed a barrier across the entire
river bed.
Wnen the tide began to run out
the fish would find their return TO
the sea and freedom barred erect
lively. The little fellows, OF course
would make their way through the
seine. but the ones worth catching
. would flop impotently against the
meshes.
Soon the tide would be out COM
pletely, leaving only foot OF water
in the river. Several thousand nsn
would be there for the taking A
pair of rubber boots and a baske'
would be sufficient equipment lol
the fishermen, who waded out anc
gathered them in wholesale.
The fish don't run up the rivers
any more, and the SEEMING must DC
done in the bay itself. This Is PROF
liable, it is true. but a fish with nan
head can avoid capture for a Iona
time.

What He Was Waiting For.

A mysterious stranger with lower
ed brow and menacing glare stood
alongside one OF the shoemakine ex-
hibits in a department store and
watched the shoemaker at work.
For long time he stood there. never
shifting his glances staring steadily
at the bench workman, watching him
put handful after handful of lacks
In his mouth and gradually empty
each mawtload into q shoe sole. Fin
ally a store detective became suspie-
oius, and after keeping an eye on the
fellow for a white went over TO him
and asked him what he meant by his
actions. ''Ob, nothing, answered

Situation Complex.

AS to general business conditions,
the present situation is very unsatie.
factory and complex The wave of
depression which began in Wall street
with the panic has entirely left that
district and is now expending its full
force in the various departments of
commerce and industry In some
quarters it appears to have eXerted
its worst effects. while in others the
crisis is still acute In the iron trade
depression is extreme; both orders
and profits being less than half those
of year ago. While there are signs
of weakness in prices. the Steel Cor
poration still adheres to its policy of
maintaining values, and orders are
much deferred in consequence. 1t had
been hoped that improved conditions
in the money market, and renewed
ability of the railroads to finance their
requirements, would at least lead to
the placing of larger orders for struc
tural iron and steel Such expecta-
tions have only been realized to a
limited extent; for the railroads are
so many cars and locomotives are idle.
and will, moreover, probably confine
their purchases for structural mater.
ial to work that must be completed;
postponing the unnecessary repairs
and new work until prices recede
and industrial conditions become more
favorable. In the textile trade there is
also much depression but the outlook
is brighter. Production of both cot
ton goods and woolens Is being cur.
tailed to the extent of 20 and 80 per
cent. Prices have declined 20 per
cent and over; wages and raw mater.
lis have also fallen, so that the textile
industry has reached a point in the
process of reimbursement which places
it in position to respond to the first
signs of business improvement.
Some Hopeful Signs.
Outside of the great iron and tex
tile industries there are few hopeful
signs to be found. Indicating that the
worst of the crisis is either near or
