and the temptation to taste anything
which comes in his way is very
strong. 1t cannot be too often insisted
upon that this habit should be strong
ly inveighed against and children abb
solutely forbidden to taste any berries,
ETC., or even to pick them. But even
when really well trained in this
way-and the majority are not-acci-
dents will happen, and it is then that
the knowledge of what to do is so valu-
able. Plants which frequently cause
accidents in this way are hemlock.
which is easily mistaken for parsley,
wild celery, wild spinach, deadly night

letter and rereading it, found that it

New Fishino Grounds Found.

During the summer of 1914 the de-
partment of commerce, through the
bureau of fisheries, conducted an ex-
ploration of certain fishery grounds
off the coast of Oregon and Washing
ton to determine, particularly, if hall
but were present in sufficient quanti-
ties to support fishery. The fishery
steamer Albatross was used for this
survey.
A halibut ground was found off
Newport, Ore covering an area of
approximately $50 square miles. AS
an immediate result of the Albatross
findings, fishermen made 81 trips to
the ground, taking about $4,000
pounds of halibut, valued at about
$4,000 Trips yielding 10000 pounds
were made in four days or less. IT.
respective of the abundance of fish,
weather conditions and the lack of
harbors will inhibit fishing excepting
from April to October.
Several smaller areas off Grays har-
Dor and Coos bay may be expected to
produce halibut in limited numbers,
and the entire coast of Oregon was
found to abound in founders, soles,
rock cod and black coda valuable

warrant its exploitation.

FELT UNCLE WAS HORRID
Only Her Third Engagement In a Few
Months and His Congratulations
Hint at FickIeness.

A certain charming young thing oil
ohis town has an uncle of whom she
has always been, and still is, very
fond; but just at present she is con
yinced that he is as catty as any WON
an she's ever known.
She tells the story herself:
Listen. You know have always
had an excessive affection for Uncle
Dick, and have without exception told
him everything absolutely every
thing.
Now, the fact that l have had so
much trouble with-well, you know
with whom-has never been joke tc
me. Last year, when that affair with
Tom was on, | wrote, of course, to
Uncle Dick about it-Uncle was then
in the West. Now, since he always
liked Tom, he wrote me beautiful
letter, Offering me all manner of felici.
tations and wishes for bright and
prosperous future. | treasured that
letter from Uncle Dick.
Now, it isn't necessary for me to
refer to my disappointment in Tom
his behavior justified any action on my
part. l know that people say l threw
him over and all that sort of thing,
but, honestly, there was only one thing
to do, and of course l did it.
We'll, suppose it did seem a little
startling to Uncle Dick, when little
over two months after the writing of
his first letter, he received another
from me, telling him of my engage
ment to Harry. But uncle was terribly
nice about it. He approved of my
course in the matter, even though he
did prefer Tom to anybody else. And
/ couldn't complain of the letter uncle
sent me in reply to the second. 1t
was just as nice as his first, although
he did give a hint of surprise.
ut was afterward that Uncle Dich
showed himself most Objectionable
Two weeks ago, when l found that
after all was said and done, 1t was
really Clarence that l loved, l got a
third letter from Uncle Dick-the
brutel After acknowledging the re
ceipt of my announcement he went on
to say:
Permit me, my dear, to congratu
late you on your approaching marriage

sweet, all of it was touching, but when
Miss Redmond stood to sing and chose
the little song of which he had made
a lullaby, and sang it divinely, Sab
ron his hands clasped behind his back
and his head little bent, still looking
at her, thought that his heart We
break. II was horrible to go away d.
not tell her. II was cowardly to feel
so much and not be able to speak it..
And he felt that he might be equal
to some wild deed, such as crossing
the room violently. putting his hand
over her slender one and saying:
Il am a soldier; have nothing but a
soldiers life. am going to Africa
tomorrow. Come with me; want you.

All Of which, slightly impossible and
quite out of the question, nevertheless
charmed and soothed him. The words
of her English song, almost barbaric
to him because incomprehensible. fell
on his ears. Its melody was already
part of him.

Pitchoune, being invited to the
musicale at the Chateau d'Esclignac,
went along with his master, running be-
hind the captains horse. 1t was a
heavenly January day, soft and mild,
full of sunlight and delicious doors,
and over the towers of King Rene's
castle the sky banners were made of
celestial blue.
The officer found the house full of
people He thought it hard that he
might not have had one more intimate
picture to add to his collection. When
he entered the room young man was
playing a violoncello. There was a
group at the piano, and among the PEG
pie the only ones he clearly saw were
the hostess, Madame d'Esclignac in
gorgeous velvet frock, then Miss
Redmond, who stood by the window
listening to the music. She saw him
come in and smiled to him, and from
that moment his eyes hardly left her

Chineee Currency.

Currency in China has had all sorts
OF surprises for the layman. but the
present situation is simply extraor-
binary. There is now found to be en-
actual plethora Of dollars and small
coins. and since last August the Chi
nese have been melting them and con-
verting them into sycee. The reason
why dollars are being melted is that
large issues Of the provincial mints
have found no use in the market, and
as all Chinese accounts are in taels
the present price OF the dollar is not
very conducive to its existence and
circulation
