sm.It Ei.bino In New Brunswick.

The smelt fishing season recently
opened on the Northumberland strait
shores Of New Brunswick. Returns
show that In the Miramlchi district, at
and near Chatham, both quality and
quantity Of fish have been disappoint-
ing. The fishermen there are receiving
about ten cents pound, while at Rex
ton and Richibucto, In Kent county. 1t
is reported they have received as much
as Is cents the average price is not
above IL cents.
In the recently proclaimed embargo
on the export from the Dominion Of
certain food products, fresh frozen fish
is included. but when destined for the
United States shipments In fair aver
age quantities are permitted to go for
ward under Endorsement by collectors
Of customs at ports Of exit.
The export Of smelts from the None
ton consular district during the 1857
season, as shown by consular invoices
certified, was 957,9S9 pounds, valued
at $95, SO5.

peen wrested from German control.
The destruction of the orchards is
described by writer in Country Life
who went to France to learn what
plans were being made to restore to
prosperity the regions that have been
laid waste In war.
mo description In the newspapers
brought home to me so WILDLY as a
personal visit did the heavy hand
which has been laid upon these re-
gions," says this writer. The one
phrase which kept rising in the mind
and ever coming TO the lips was the
Scriptural one. 'There shall not be
left one stone standing upon another"
Before the war the region was one of
the most fertile in France Agricul-
tural authorities assured me that the
best crops of wheat In the country
were raised on the wide fiat plains.
The land at present is growing only
thisties and other weeds. The ruin
here differs entirely from that seen in
such war-battered towns as Reims and
Verdun. These have been smashed
and knocked about by shells and bombs
till they are but ruins of what they
once were. Still, there are houses
standing untouched amid the general
destruction, and they still are at least
the shells of towns. But, to take for
example the district around Noyon,
not only have the streets been wrecked
by fire and shell. but before leaving
them the Germans went methOdically
through q course of destruction, blow
ing up roofs, gathering up implements
into a heap for burning, and employ
ing kind of battering ram for break
ing down the walls. So that to recur
again to the phrase that keeps we'll
ing up like the burden Of song. there
Is really not one stone left to stand
upon another.
more may be said about that here
after. The main point today is to d.
rect attention to what has actually
been done by the Germans In the way
of running gardens, orchards and
nurseries. Those who have been in
the country In peacetime will remem-
Der the rows Of apple and pear trees
that were grown along the straight
roads running between unhedged
fields. They will remember. too. the
groups of plantations of trees In the
fields, as well as the orchards and
gardens near the pretty rustic houses
characteristic of that French district.
In preparation for evacuation, the Ger
man soldiers appear to have been or
dered out with ak and saw to level
these trees with the ground. Wheth-
Or It Is that nobody has found time
TO remove them or that the ruined
trees are preserved as monument to
German brutality, there they are ly-
ing as they fell. Some, and these the
most slender, have been clean sawn
through; others cut with the ak; a
few have been attacked with both ak
and saw. But there they lie dead.
Whatever there was of nursery or gar
den has been swept away. Even the
hutches where the rabbits were kept
have not escaped destruction.
II one recognizes that these repre-
cent the chief elements In Ia petite
culture, in which considerable pro-
portion Of the inhabitants were en-
saked, 1t will not come as a surprise
that the French officer commanding

GINSENG MARKET IN CHINA
Depression In Business Reported Past
Year, Sale Of the Root Being
Much Below Normal.

The market for ginseng In Hong
kong and the China field generally
Is depressed, and dealers look for lit
tie revival In the trade until well to-
ward Chinese New Year. Usually
there Is q quickening In the trade -as
cool weather comes on, but so far the
past year. and In spite Of the high ex-
change value Of silver which ought to
stimulate the trade, the sale Of the
root has been much below normal,
says Consul General George Il. An
derson, Hongkong. Arrivals have been
below normal and the demand has
rot kept pace with the supply. An auc-
ton of a lot Of American root on con-
signment recently brought fair prices.
Two days later similar lot of as good
II not better root sold for little more
than half the price brought by the first
lot, and private sales made later were
on still lower level. Uncertain POI
litlcal conditions In the interior OF
China are given as the chief reason
for the present slump In demand, but
uncertain financial conditions due,itO
the export of silver and copper coin
age from the provinces as well as the
existence ofpiracy and other disorders
In some districts have also had ina
terial influence
Sales have been irregular and the
market may improve at any time. The
root on hand of course will get the
benefit of the Improvement while that
hes. in the United States will probably
arrive too late to secure full returns.
The ginseng business and all similar
lines Of trade In China are In an an
certain state and little reliance can
be placed upon the continuance of any
conditions.

YOUNG Woman Who Was Almost Des-
titute, Learned True Meaning OF
the Well-known Phrase.

Once [ knew girl who was the
spoiled. and only, daughter OF a rich
family, Margaret f. Sangster writes In
the Christian Herald. She had always
been in the position of fairy princess
with a wishing ring. Anything that
she desired was brought to her as IL
some magic genie waited for COM
mands.
And then her father failed In busi-
ness and died. And her mother,
broken in health and spirits, soon fol-
lowed him. And the girl was left alone.
She had always had a number of
friends-firm friends who accepted her
dinner Invitations and her concert tick
cts. But when she lost her money and
was left alone, the girl found that her
friends were all marvelously busy
that they were too busy to see much
of her, to give her much advice and
help. With a little money left from
the wreck Of things she took secre-
tarial course In a business college. She
had to hurry, for there wasn't much
money, SO she finished the course In
half the prescribed time. Now she
has very responsible position and
very interesting salary.
Talking to me not long ago, she
laughed in a not very humorous way
and said:
.You know, never knew the mean
ing Of the term fair weather friends
until my great trouble; and then, when
I needed friends so very badly-when
life was SO horrid and unfortunate and
sorry for mel found that there were

He agreed with other experts WIN
whom ] had an opportunity OF con-
versation that the better plan was
to set about the planting OF new trees,
which should be chosen with special
regard to their suitability to the soil
and the district, and to their useful
ness. For many years 1t has been
pointed out In vain to the French peas
ant. just as it has been to English
farmers and gardeners, that the old
messy trees, picturesque though they
may be, which are usually found In
both countries, could advantageously
be replaced by young saplings Of the
best varieties.
but the French peasant is every bit
as conservative as the British farmer.
AS long as his trees carried annually
that he could make into very indiffer-
ent cider, nothing would persuade him
to remove them. He was equally deaf
to the argument that cultivation would
be easier If the trees were removed
from the middle of the field and plant.
ed along the sides. Out of evil comes
good. A plan has been formed for re-
constructing these orchards on an en-.
tirely new basiS with the cooperation
of the British public.

of England. so that for years it was
impossible to raise crops, and the
houses were so Systematically de-
stroyed that the buildings of wood and
stone were ultimately replaced by turf
and waffle. The desolation there in
the fourteenth century must have been
comparable to the desolation produced
in the twentieth century by nation
which counts itself cultured beyond
most. And what was worse than dam
age to property was the carrying away
into captivity of the whole population,
excepting such as were too old to
work. Into, what various regions they
have been scattered no one knows.
Very few have found their way back.
1t was, however, the preparation for
subsequent misery that inflamed the
soldiery. l could see their eyes hard

Musical Conductors.

Really great musical conductors are
few, and Of these Hans Richter stood
In the forefront. 1t Is difficult, says
the Christian Science Monitor, to de-
fine just what differentiates good
conductor from mere time beater, but
story that is told Of Richter may
help indirectly. In the prelude to
Tristan und Isolde" occurs beautiful
passage for the oboe, which rises,
swells and dies away to pianissimo
most effectively. To indicate the quail
ity of the playing which he wanted
from this instrument, Richter, beating

his left hand over his heart, and the
oboe player at once responded to a
direction all-inclusive In its simplicity
and intelligibility.
