Ohio Mans Eyes Opened.

A man from Ohio who was recently
in Seattle, WASH, having heard that
the salmon run was on and that
scowloads were being taken to the
canneries every hour, called a waiter
in a local hotel to him and said:
Sam. go out and buy me the big
gest and finest red salmon you can
get, have 1t baked and served to me
at dinner. Here Is five dollars; keep
the change"
When the meal was served that
night the Ohio man sat down before q
baked fish that stretched the whole
length of a four-foot platter. He was
amazed, and asked for an explanation
He was more surprised and better in
formed about the salmon family when
the waiter said that he might have
bought a 45-pound salmon instead Of
just a 40-pound fish had he been JUS
a few minutes sooner. He also in
formed the Ohioan that there was ne
change to be returned for the fish hat
cost $3.50, and the walters carfart
was ten cents, so he received nothin,
for the labor of carrying the big FISH
to the hotel.

PONDS SUPPLIED BY DEW
MIsts From the Sea Aid In Keeping
Hilltop Reservoirs Filled
With Water.

The question why Jack and jill
went up" the hill, instead of down, to
fetch the famous pail of water has
been solved by the latest dictionaries,
In which may be found the word dew
pond" It was to one Of these, which are
always built upon high ground, that
tle two were bound, says the Scien-
ufc American. adding that probably
1t was located on the English downs.
Continuing, the writer says:
1.-THE NEUROLOGY of the down country
Is topsy-turvy, for a down is an I'm.
land, and the downs afford a bountiful
supply Of water ever when the wales
are parched. Hence the singular spec
tacle of cattle being driven to the hill
tops and carts sent uphill to procure
water.
What is a dew pond? The word is
only to be found in the two newest
dictionaries-the New International
and the Century Supplement, both
published this year-though 1t has
been used locally for a hundred years,
perhaps much, longer.
Dew ponds date back to a prehis-
toric era. They receive water direct
ly from the air-whether chiefly In
the form of rain, mist or otherwise is
a question still unsettled. impervious
bottoms enabling them to retain all
the water they gather. The bottom
commonly consists of chalk or clay
over which is strewn a layer OF rubble

THE theory that these ponds are
fed by dew-by the condensation o
the invisible moisture of the airs
supported by Edward A. Martin. whit

To Provide for convlcts' Families.

An act to provide relief for the wives
and children and other relatives who
may be dependent upon prisoners com
mitted to the state prison will BE-
brought before the legislature at Its
next session, according to F. 8. Weis
secretary of the Louisiana state board
of charities and corrections.
Since the publication of an article
els the Right Party Punished?" many
INQUIRIES have been received by Mr.
Weis as to the number Of destitute
families in the city, and the number
throughout the state, and 1t appears
that there are many charitable per

act. 1t is said to be a simple matter
of Justice, not Of charity; and ever,

measure from being shelved at thu
next session.-New Orleans Times
