How Genius Works.

A happy thought came to ALBERr

New Workers. in his debt ny giving
several performances Of two operettas

fitness In his deed. The sunniest mu.
sician the world has ever known died
century and quarter ago this
year, which is also the 16Oth ami
versary of his birth. and the l3Oth

anniversaries will always he seized
upon: others will he deliberately neg
lected by mankind. For instance,
MEYEaREER was horn 125 years ago
this fall. but there has been no rush
to do him honor.
MOZART did the impossible by put
ting new wine In old bottles--and
such sparkling stuff! He created no

New Englsnd's PaciAc Coast Rival

II the sacred goldfish is the guar
dian of the industry that gave Boston
her early aristocracy and that still
brings her rich revenue. II should
keep a weather eye to the west. !Ac-
cOrding to the report compiled by
John y. CoRB for the Bureau of Fish.
cries the industry has a healthy rival
on the Pacific coast aud Boston's posi-.
tion as the centre Of the Goldfish trade
Is menaced by upstart towns in Cali
fornia and Washington.
Mr.. Com makes II statement that
impugns the fairness Of the Eastern
fishers. New England controlled the
market for cod throughout the United
States and also the export trade, and
did not welcome the intrusion of the
Pacific cod. While the Eastern FISH
dealers were unable to prevent the
loss Of the greater part of their
trade on the Pacific coast. they fought
hard for the rest:
Dealers and consumers we're told in
some instances that the Hsh prepared
by this coasts curers were not cod, or
that they were a very inferior grade Of
cod that the hsh would not keep, Ac.
That these misstatements had a wide
disse mination and made a considerable
impression is evidenced even to this day
in the prejudice which is met with in
different sections OF the country against
Pacific cod
1t is only just to think that while
this was taking place Boston's sacred
guardian. embodiment Of rectitude
and honor. had its head turned the
other way.
Tho industry had hard time at ito
start On the Pacific coast and held a
strange fascination for Western ad-
tenturcrs. One of the old timers was
Nick BICHARD. "a large, swarthy man.

venture absorbed his capital. then his

"dicd peacefully, and leaving barely
enough to bury him."
