Informed that If present prices pre-
vail, the prices of meats and pork,
both fresh and smoked, will be drop

how they are stocked up, just when

SHAD IN MATCHING.
;. ork of Experts Aboard the Coast
Vessel, the Fish Hawk.

Vessel, the Fish Hawk.
Lying at anchor in the Delaware
River off Gloucester is little vessel
painted an immaculate white, which
bears across her bow the name, Fish
Hawk, the Philadelphia Ledger says.
She belongs to the United States fish
commission. Her crew is clearing her
decks for action, laying out long
spawning tables and toiling away in
preparation for the millions Of shad
eggs which will soon come to the YES
sci from the fishermen up and down
the river.
While the Fish Hawk has been EN-.
ployed IN shad Matching on the Della
ware many seasons since 1881, this is
her first visit here in four years She
covers the entire esatern coast from
The kennebec to Key West.
The work Of egg collecting is done
by the crew Of forty-three men, all Of
whom are experts. They go out to the
fishing grounds in small boats lowed
by steam launches and there secure
from the market fishermen the shad
which are about to spawn. These eggs
are fertilized in large pans and after
several days are placed in jars in
which they hatch in from four to seven
days, the length of time depending on
the temperature of the water. When
the shad have attained the size of half
an, inch they are taken to the river
beds and turned loose.
The Fish Hawk has collected as
many as 125,O0O,OOO eggs in a season,
50 to 90 per cent Of which have proved
fertile. In nature, it is said, not 5
per cent Of the eggs hatch. The Fish
Hawk has $50 Matching jars, each ca
pable of holding $4,000 to 10000 eggs.
When the fish are Matched they find
their way through a drain pipe into
an aquarium, where they remain until
turned out.

from hence, as I am now of little use
On the earth" 1t is the greatness of
man, not his littleness, that inspires
nlm with desire for larger room and
the fuifllment of his noblest desires
and hottest ideals.
There is a vapid sentimentalism
mat dreams Of heaven while neglect
Ing the everyday tasks and strenuous
duties OF the life that now is. Such an
attitude is unworthy. But the longing
LOT heaven on the part Of earnest souls
Is sane and healthy. 1t Is a mark of
relationship to the infinite; it is a
token that the soul has really been
Dorm from above; it is the aspiration
Ior perfection. The future life is
anpler than the present; it has more
room for energy and enterprise In
that realm Of light and gladness are
the great spirits Of our race, and they
nave employments congenial to their
powers. They have not been retired,
out promoted. Human nature is to in
nuence all worlds. A vital Christian
1ty will always emphasize the future
lie. Mems souls grow great and their
thoughts profound only in the pres
ence OF the eternal realities of God
and human destiny. Christ is the liv-
Ing bond between both worlds The
love that moves the sun and all the
stars is the rapture and the satisfac-
ton Of the spirits Of just men made
perfect and Of the festal assembly of
the angels.
In the fair mansions of the heavenly
nome are many unutterably dear, from
"hom we parted with agony. What
JOY 1t will to meet them again! No
more shall we be lonely The armies
OF the saints are triumphantly march
ing onward and homeward to that city
whose light is not that Of sun or
moon, but the glory Of the Lamb of
COD. In the quiet of the evening
gloaming and amid the fury of all
l1fe's storms we catch strains of celes
tial melody

HYMNS AND THEIR AUTHORS
THE COMING KING.
By John Cennick.


>. ALTHOUGH this hymn is frequently cred
iteo 10 Charles Wesley there seems little
DOUBT but that he deserves credit only for
placing 1T in his collection, while the Rev.
John Cennick (Reading, England, Dec IL,
l118-London, July 4, 1775) was its au-
thor. 1t appears in his collection OF hymns
before Wesley published it. The hymn Ia
interesting principally because Of the pop
ularity 1t once enjoyed not long ago II
was thought to hold third place among
all the hymns in the English tongue.
While 1t Is still frequently sung in Great
Britain and in her colonies. it Is certainly
declining In favor, for its thought does
not greatly interest our day.1 l
Lo! he comes with clouds descending,
Once for favored sinners slain
Thousand thousand saints attending,
Swell the triumph of his train!
Hallelujah!
Jesus comes, and comes to reign.
Every eye shall now behold him,
Robed in dreadful majesty!
Those who set at naught and sold him
Pierced and nailed him to the tree,
Deeply wailing,
Shall the true Messiah see!
Yea, amen let all adore thee,
High on thine eternal throne!
Savior, take the power and glory;
Make thy righteous sentence known!
Men and angels
Kneel and bow to thee alone

A newspaper has 5000 readers for
each 1000 subscribers, says the AL
bion, Mich, Recorder A merchant
who puts out 1000 hand-bills gets
possibly 800 or 400 people to read
that is, if the boy who is trusted to
distribute them does not chuck them
under the sidewalk. The hand-bills
cost as much as half column adver-
tisement in the home paper. All the
and boys read the advertisements.
Result: The merchant who uses the
newspaper has $500 more readers to
each 1000 Of the papers readers.
There is no estimating the amount Of
business that advertising does bring
to merchant, but each dollar brings
somewhere from 500 20 500 worth Of
business.
When a man is caught in one exag-
geration he will have a pretty hard
time trying to convince the world that
all he says it not colored by exaggera-
been innocent enough. 1t may do no
harm. But, leaving out all moral con-
siderations, exaggeration and untruth-
fulness in advertising are mighty bad
business. They serve we'll enough
until the truth is found out; then, as
the old adage has it: Truth is
mighty and will prevail" The exag-
gerator must be on the strain con-
tinually to exceed his last exaggera-
ton He will have to appeal each
time to a new set Of customers. This
! it is impossible to do continuously
among any one class of people. The
old proverb may be true that there
is a sucker born every minute But
it is very dangerous to attempt to
found a stable business supon such a
foundation Of sand.
We wonder if our home merchants
ever stop to think why the big mail
order houses are so successful Their
success lies in their continual adver-
Using of their goods, says the Hunk
Vile (Mo) Herald They never stop
advertising because Of changes Of sea-
son or for any other reason. The

ing these mail order house hard for
years for the benefit Of the home mer-
chant, and some Of the merchants ap-
preciate this and some Of them do
not If the mail order houses would
practice advertising by "spurts,' In
certain seasons of the year, like some
country merchants, they would soon
20 out of business. While the local
or home merchant keeps his business
under a bushel," SO to speak, or out
Of their local paper on account Of hot,
dry or wet weather, or bad roads, they
are giving the mail order houses the
advantage of them before the people,
! for those houses never stop advertis-
ing for any kind Of weather or for
| dull times.

RUSSIAN HEARTLESSNESS.
Commission Disguised with Poorhouse
and Asylum at st. Petersburg.

An influential commission has inspected
the Obouchoff hospital, one of the biggest
municipal hospitals in St Petersburg and
has discovered an astounding state of
affairs. The worst conditions prevailed
in the wards for inebriates. The mems
ward was SO overcrowded that some of
the patients had to lie in the corridor.
The women's ward was in the basement,
and the atmospheric conditions were
sitting. There was no ventilation. The
hospital kitchen adjoined the mortuary
chamber. and the harder was in the bath
room. The clothes and soiled linen Of
the poorest classes of the population lay
all over the floor, and the entire place
was verminous. About 800 inmates were
lodged in wooden sheds hastily put to-
gether-the councillors described them as
mere stables; and many tuberculous pa
tients were being treated in these insa-
luxurious jerry-built barracks The sights
they witnessed during their four hours
visit so affected the municipal councillors
that they did not complete the inspection.

POLITE JAPANESE POLICE.
A Rebuke to Tourists-Originally a
Most Aristocratic Body.

The Japanese police, one of whose
chiefs has been studying English meth
DDS at Scotland yard with a view of inI-
provements in his own force, was orig
inally the most aristocratic body of the
kind in the world.
It's establishment was almost coinci-
dent with the EmperOr's decree forbid
ding the wearing Of swords. By a
stroke of the imperial pen the Samurai
were deprived of cherished weapons, by
which the gentleman Of Japan had been
accustomed from immemOrial times to adj
vertise their rank. So they went into
the police, where it was still possible to
carry a sword, and a very formidable
weapon it was, being of the two-handeu
variety.
Perhaps the police twenty years ago
were rather too fon1 0f chnnning a prls-
oner in half instead Of arresting him, but
they were very expert, and there was
seldom any evidence TO contradict their
own version of the incident.
To people of their own rank and to
foreigners they are polite in a degree
which would have seemed ludcrous any
where except in the land of honorincs.
The writer remembers an incident which
illustrates this train well enough. 1t
was at Osaka during water festival,
and the bridges were kept clear OF pas
sengers much in the same way as our
own on boat race day. a rope at either
end guarded by policeman was sum-
cient for the purpose.
With the contempt for authority
which distinguishes the Englishman
abroad, two or three tourists stood on
the wrong side Of the rope out of the
crowd, SO as to get better view, but
the policeman was equal to the occasion:
With apologize bows he united ono end
of the rope and then fastened it again
in front Of the foreigners. and they had
tho good sense to accept the rebuke.-

DoN,Ts FOR CHURCHMEN.

Don't look for wisdom on trees that
are without roots in experience
Don't try to love the oppressed weak
unless you hate the strong oppressor.
Don't preach without thinking lest
you find plenty to listen without do
ing.
Don't forget that the life of good
ness leads to faith in the goodness of
life.
Don't forget that it's better to be
one small blast furnace than a dozen
prairie fires.
Don't overlook the fact that he has
no true faith in his god who has none
In himself
Don't fail to observe that the man
who has smooth way about him may
be a crooked one.
Don't forget that man is always
most likely to get lost when he is i'm
mersed In himself.
Don't fail to observe that the best
preparation for home In heaven Is
making homes heavenly.
