mothers to bring up their children at

charitable institution, and thus breaking

THE TILEFISH.

AS far as is known they have never
been discovered elsewhere.
The bureau of fisheries fully realizes
the economic Importance of tilef1sh.
They are so abundant that time spent
by fishermen in any tilefish locality
would insure a good catch; it is not a
difficult fish to capture, and it can be
found all seasons of the year. It's prox-
unity to the coast makes it comfortably V
accessible, and also permits marketing
it in excellent condition. 1t is a fish
that will ship well. It's flesh is firm,
yet very tender.
The government has chartered a fish,
ing schooner for the express purpose of
giving tilefishing fair trial. They
have sent out pamphlets describing and
recommending the tilefish, and in this
pamphlet is published dozen recipes
tried successfully by Boston chef.
The bureau is also sending placards
to wholesale houses for distribution
among retailers. These placards ad-
vertise the tilefish and announce that

The tilefish was discovered by ac6-

Before the bureau Of fisheries had had
ample time either to- establish nsh-

mysteriously vanished.
In the month of March, 1882, hsh-
erman informed the government that
he had sailed through inestimable num-
bers of fish, both dead and dying. This
man covered sixty-nine miles of water
the surface of which was mass of
dead fish. other authentic reports
reached the ears of the government
verifying all that had been said. The
dead tilefish extended over an area of
ESQ square miles, and over b1liloH
and a half of them perished.
The bureau made a thorough inVestl-

due to a sudden and mysterious shift

The shifting of the current of the Gulf

He has already discovered one under
ground passage. as he had predicted
he would. and his fellow citizens be-
lieve he knows what he is about. He
Is undisturbed in the pursuit of his
dream. His wife wields a shovel by
his side constantly.
This individual is a symbol and
summary of the republic of which he is
an honored citizen-the strangest re-
public in the world. Just as this man
is pursuing his purpose in utter indif-
ference to the rest of his fellow men,
so this republic is pursuing it's pur-
pose Indifferent to the rest of the
world. The world knows little and
cares less about it and it cares and
knows little about the rest of the
world. For LOO years. since its
foundation as a republic in sos (and no
one knows for how many centuries be-
fore that). it has gone it's own strange
way utterly oblivious to the progress
of the other nations of Europe. 1t has
its own idea of the meaning of life
and it lives according to that trav-
eier entering the republic today will
find it exactly as it was 1000 years
ago.
1t is a republic which has never
achieved anything in it's long and
vague history: a republic which has
never produced page of literature, nor
a bar of music, nor painting; re-
public which has never had a place
never asked for one; nation which
has never produced an ambitious man.
Andorra is the name of this republic.
1t consists of six counties and boasts
about dozen towns. Its entire popu-
lation is 5000 souls.
Lawrence Grant, the traveller and
lecturer, is the only stranger who has
found his way into this strange land
in more than a year. . He arrived in
New York recently with a fund of
fresh ~asd interesting Impressions, some
of which are related in what follows.
The chief occupation of the people of
Andorra is cattle raising and thou
sands upon thousands of cows may be
seen browsing in the rich pastures, yet
it has never occurred to Andorrans to
milk these cows, and butter and milk
are unknown in the republic. Dairy
products are non-exstent. The only
cheese made is that from the milk of
sheep. Visitors find it impossible to
procure milk or cream for their coffee
Andorrans themselves use brandy in
stead and think it is better than any
thing else in coffee.
Unfortunately, no one in Andorra has

find another man in the republic who
would help him.
Andorra has never produced a man of
talent. Mr.. Grant on his last visit,
however, came across a stonemason
with a remarkable voice. This man
had n.ever taken a lesson in his life.
but he sang beautifully and accurately.
He was a born singer, and his breath
ing, despite his ignorance of vocal art,
was absolutely perfect.
Mr.. Grant spoke to this man and in
vited him to leave the republic offering
him all kinds of monetary inducements,
but he refused to go, preferring to re-
main at his work as mason. He was
of Spanish stock. extremely handsome,
with wavy hair and wicked black eyes
