Fish Smiles" After One
Week S Sleep on Cake Of
Ice in an Oyster Barrel

PHILADELPHIA. March so
Suspended animation in a barrel
OF ice and oysters apparently has
no more effect on a fish than a
long and badly needed sleep. Ad-
olson Foster. a Darby business
man, offers TO prove this by ex.
hibiting a fish OF the mullet va
riety. eight inches long and very
Wuch alive.
Foster deposes and says that
along about the middle of last
week he ordered a barrel OF oys-
tiers from Chincoteague, Va. The
shipment arrived in due time and
Foster dumped them out when he
got ready.
In the middle OF the barrel was
the fish. Foster was just about
TO throw II away when It wig
gled it's tail and smiled wan
and sleepy smile. He picked IL
up tenderly and immersed II in
a pail OF water. The fish yawn-
ed, blinked it's eyes and started
TO swim. II is still swimming.

Farm Land speeuiators.

There is widespread speculation in
farm lands. especially In portions of
the west and middle west. and 1t is an
unhealthy sign. It does not, as is
sometimes believed, add directly to
this lcost Of farm products, for 1t has.
In fact, been caused by the, high pric-.
es OF these same products.
1t breeds farm tenantry, absentee
landlordism. and all the crop of evils
which lie at the root of the troubles
Of some of the countries OF the old
world. 8
The only answer Is to bring down
high prices Of land by making avail
able more lands to be cultivated by
draining millions OF acres OF swamps,
by utilizing the cutover lands of our
vanishing forests, and by exhausting
the possibilities OF irrigation.
And these are things which are Of
national import and should not be
left too largely to individual initiative
and enterprise, but should engage the
interest Of the state and federal gov
ernments.-Nationa,s Business.

1ector The bird Immediately sets
about tho building Of second nest,
taking thirty days for the work. This
is also stolen before the eggs are laid.
The third nest, however. is unmolest-
ed. and the birds are permitted to
raise their young, after which the
nest Is taken and sold. The nests are
built In most inaccessible spots,
among the cliffs along the coast. and
the. natives must rick their lives to
reach them. In preparing birds nest
soup the nest is washed in cold water
and then cooked for eight hours in q
closed vessel, after which 1t Is mixed
with chicken broth, seasoned and
boiled for a quarter OF an hour. This
dish is considered great delicacy
among the Chinese. and occidentals
who have tried the soup find It very
palatable and much resembling
chicken soup.

Growth Of Seattle.

The announced population Of Seat
Tie Is 3lo,e52, which is a growth In
ten years Of SO per cent. Ut Is an
ambitious city and fine claimer,
and wanted about 100. 900 more. which
the census man could not deliver.
Happily, with next year the claim
Ing season will reoommence, with no
fear OF the cold dgures Of actual
enumeration for nine years. and we
shall sec all the American cities be-
gin growing again at q wonderful
rate. gradually tapering OF again as
1880 approaches.
1t seems to us that q gain Of 30
per cent In ten years for q city as
large as Seattle should be perfectly
satisfactory. It is conclusive evil
dence Of an excellent location and
energetic people and a productive
tributary country. And that should
satisfy any urban ambition. Those
who remember the Seattle Of the
early $685., when land spectators Of
the Northern Pacific railroad Of that
day were booming Tacoma and deny
ing railroad communication to Seat
tie, and their traffic on the sound
was carried on with little vessels
with provision for feeding q dozen
passengers or 80, and occupying q
full day In going from Olympia to
Tacoma, with q layovor there till the
next day for a boat to Seattle-if ono
insisted on going there-will think
Seattle has done well enough.
The rivalry of the cities striving
to excel in population is one Of the
queer vagaries of human nature. If
there is to be rivalry it should be in
volume Of business done. which is the
real evidence Of the virility OF the
people Of any city. Increase of big
ness by no means indicates increase
OF average happiness and content,
which Is really what makes life worth
living. The chances are that as cit
les grow q constantly increasing per-
centage of their inhabitants find in
creasing difficulty In living a COM
Portable life. The past decade. and
especially the last I'VE years, has
been a period Of phenomenal growth
Of American cities. whose average in
crease has been stated apparently to
be about "a per cent. And their peo-
pie are having q bad time finding
food and shelter, II half that some of
them say Is true. It is not impos-
sible that within few decades the
competition among cities will be to

put it mildly. is very thin. AS if to
make up for the lack of flesh on it's
body, however, the animal has head
many sizes too large. The other
week he went to the expense of new
collar for the animal. A few minutes
after the delivery he was back at the
saddler's with the collar.
Don't you know nothin'?" he blurt-
