The cannery building is of wood, because
timber is cheap and good. All the work con-
nected with canning salmon has to be very
carefully done, otherwise there would be a
danger of the fish becoming unfit for food
The greatest care is exercised in cleanliness
and in testing the cans several times to make
sure of their being perfectly sealed.
Next time you see or eat canned salmon,
remember that it is the result of many mems

burden of responsibility with her delicate
mother; she denied herself, that her brothers

Can we not fancy that the younger MEM

selfish care, scarcely reckoned it at its true
value; that, while ready to share their trou-
bles with her, they did not always ask her to
share their Joys; that they. got the impress

great deal of the work that used to be done
By Cinnamon; in fact, it is said to take the
place. of thirty workers, and therefore it is
called "the iron chink."
1t is a very ingenious contrivance. One
part cuts off the heads and tails, another
the gills, another cleans out the inside of .be
fish, and finally cuts. it into suitable sizes for
putting into the cans. The inventor is Mr..
Smith, of Seattle.
His story of the invention is worth telling,
for we may learn a useful lesson from it.
Mr. Smith came to the salmon region twenty
five years ago, having been apprenticed to a
terra-cotta decorator, but no workmen OF this

they are old, and idle away their time with
people who know nothing except by hear

Consider how few people are left among
us who have endured the dangers and hard
ships of pioneer days; who have battled in
the wilderness and on the plains with savage
beasts and still more savage men; who have
known what it is to suffer hunger and cold
and live for months without seeing civilized
human being, where now cities stand teem-
ing with life and all the comforts of civiliza-
ton. These old people do not speak from
hearsay, but actual knowledge, and their
recollections should be more interesting than
any printed book.
Then there is pathos about old age, like
a deserted mansion or a withered tree. In
the old man or woman we may see ourselves,
as in a magic mirror, for it is only question
of time when we must travel the same road.
It was Walter Scott who declared that he
never talked for half an hour with any one,
from prince to beggar. but that he learned
something.
Surely this is an example that the young
may initiate to advantage. There are no

every effort is made to catch them, either in

rivers.
Sometimes thousands of fish are caught m
one night in the fsh-traps. A scow, as the
boats are called. then comes alongside, the
traps are lifted, and the contents are emptied
on board the scow. It is strange sight To
see three or four thousand Of these large fish
slipping about on the deck. The fish are then
thrown on to the steam tug, which conveys
the load to the cannery, where often within
two hours it is cooked in retort, packed in
