A QUESTION OF PRIVILEGE,

_—_—

Reported by Truthful James,

It was Andrew Jackson Sutter, who despis- ing Mr. Cutter forremacks he heard him utter in debate upon the floor,

peaceful, pensive twilight, and then keerlessly proceeded, makin’ no ac- count what we did—

To wipe up with his person casual dust upon the floor.

Now a square fivlt never frets me, nor un- pleasaniness upsets me, but the simple thing that gets me—now the job is done and gone,

And we've come home free and merry from the peaceful cemetery, leavin’ Cutter there with Sutter—that mebbee just a stutter

On the part of Mr, Cutter caused the loss we deeply mourn.

Some bashful hesitation; just like spellin’ punctooation— might have worked an aggravation onto Sutter’s mournful mind,

For the witnesses all vary ez to wot was said, and nary a-galoot will toot his horn except the way he is inclined.

sul they all allow that Sutter had begun a kind of mutter, when up rose Mr. Cutter with a sickening kind of ease.

And proceeded then to wade in to the sub- ject then prevadin’: “Is profanity de- gradin’?” in words like unto these:

“Onlike the previous speaker, Mr. Cutter, of Yreka, he was but a humble seeker —and not like him—a cuss

It was here that Mr. Sutter softly reached for Mr. Cutter, when the latter with a stutter said: “accus-tomed to discuss.”

Then Sutter he rose grimly, and sorter smilin’ dimly, bowed onto the Chair- man primly—(just Jike Cutter ez could be !)

Drawled “He guessed he must fall back as —Mr. Cutter, owned the pack as—he just had played the Jack as—” (here Cutter’s guo went crack! as Mr. Sut- ter gasped and ended) “every man can see!”

But William Henry Pryor—just in range

of Sutter’s fire—here evinced a wild desire to do somebody harm— And inthe general scrimmage no one

thought if Sutter’s “image” was a mis- placed punctooation--like the hole in Pryor’s arm.

Fc we all waltzed in together, never carin’ to ask whecher it was Sutter or was Cutter we woz tryin’ to abate.

But we couldn’t help perce ivin’ when we took to inkstand heavin’ that the pro- cess was relievin’ to the sharpness of debate.

So we’ve come home free and merry from the peaceful cemetery, and I make no commentary on these simple childish games.

Things is various and human—and the man ain’t born of woman who has got enough acumen to say wot’s another’s aims!

SALMON SLAUGHTERED,

ENORMOUS CATCHES MADB IN THE HUDSON STRAITS.

Where Some of the Finest Fish in the

World Are Taken by the Thousands—The Methed Employed by Which Tons of Fish ave Taken,

“If to see how the magnificent salm- on of the Pacific Coast are caught almost takes the heart out of the man who loves to cast the fly for these lordly fish, he would lose it entirely if he venture to Ungava bay, and see how they capture salmon there.” said a former agent of the Hudson Bay Com- pany.

“It was only a few years ago that the possibilities of the south coast of Un- gava bay and Hadson straits in the way of salmon and lake trout fishing were discovered, and to say that they are now being worked for all they are worth is putting it niildly The salmon of that high latitude are undoubtedly the finest in the world. They are farther north than any other salmon taken on this continent, and the lower the tempera- tare of the waterthe better the salmon are. The Restigouche, or any of the salmon of the St. Lawrence basin, are far superior to the Oregon salmon, and the Hudson Straits salmon are just as munch superior to the Restigouche fish. Besides the saluion the waters of the Hudson Strait eoast teem with a deep- sea trout which has not ite like on the face of the globe,

“But the method adequate for catch- ing these fish is just as peculiar as the fish themselves are, and it is doubtful if salmon or trout fishing is done in the same way elsewhere. The coast of Hudson straits is indented by thousands of small bays and estuaries, and many rivers traverse it to the bay. At low tide there is little water in any of these inlets, but at high tide the water rushes up into them for long distances. The tides rise twenty-five and even fifty feet. At hightide, inthe salmon and trout running seasons, these fish follow with the water into the bays and rivers as fast as the tide goes, and swarm back with it when it ebbs. I have seen the smaller rivers, streams, or rather stream beds, one hundred feet wide, ac- tnally choked from shore to shore with the biggest salmon a man ever saw struggling upward with the tide.

“Itis not more than eight or nine years agothat the first attempt was made to establish fisheries there on a large scale. Drawing seines was im- possible, and the fish wheels of Oregon were impracticable. So a simple but exceedingly effective trap was intro duced. It was not original with the salmon fishermen, the idea being bor- rowed from “mies fishermen of Hudson bay. mense nets were made from the largest ‘and - strongest twine, and of length and depth to suit the in- let to be fished. At low tide the nets are set at the mouths of the bays or in- lets, andthe top of the net is hauled to the bottom so as to offer no obstruction to the water or fish as they pass upward with the rising tide. Just before the tide turns the line holding the floater side of the net to the anchored side is drawn out. The buoys instantly rise to the surface and the trap isjset. When the tide comes back men are stationed above the nets some distance, and with poles and brush beat the water and make noises of various kinds. This is to keep the great body of fish from pres- sing upon the net at once, and as the fish are exceedingly timid they rush back up stream by the thousand, and will actually be left on the dry land by the receding tide, so panic stricken do they become at the noise made by the, men. When the tide has gone out, the dry beds of the inlets will be piled with tons upon tons of salmon or trout. Not salmon and trout, for both kinds are never found in the same inlet. In one the trap may secure fifty or one hundred tons of salmon at a run, while the next estuary below the catch will be trout. I have seen ten thousand salmon taken at one haul.

“I have seen the marvelous salmon runs of the Oregon rivers, but they are no comparison to the tremendous rushes of those Hudson straits fish. It may be that if the latter had big fresh water rivers to explore they would not be massed so thickly along the coast, but the channels they seek are not sufficient tolet them allin. If the salmon supply of the world elsewhere should ever be- come exhausted, it can be replaced easi- ly by the fish of those great northern waters. A thousand big vessels could take on cargoes of salmon and trout there every season without visibly les- } sening the supply.”

An Aged Boundary Dispute.

One of the oldest boundary disputes in this country is that between New Jersey and Delaware over the jurisdic- tion of the Delaware river opposite New Castle and for some distance above and below. New Jersey insists that her jurisdiction extends to the middle of the river there as elsewhere, while Del- aware claims jurisdiction at that point clear across to the New Jersey shore. Charles IL. granted to his brother James, Duke of York, abort the year 1683, a portion of the Delaware peninsula The grant specially gave James a circu- lar piece of Jand twelve miles about New Castle, ali islands falling within the circle, and seemingly from the lang- uage the bed of the stream. James gave the land to William Penn, and this land afterward berame the State of Delaware. It is upon the language of this grant that Delaware claims juris- diction over the whole river opposite New Castle. The matter was once brought before commissioners from the two states.

A GREAT INDUSTRY.

No business enterprise has developed so raipdly in recent years as the Whisky trade. In Leith particularly has its successful and profitable expansion been most apparent. The skill exercised in blending has reached the standard of an art,and the unrivalled and universal favor with which the products of Leith have been received has gained for that city the repute of the “ Whiskyopolis ” of the world. To the firm of Andrew M‘Nab and Co., Leith, is due the credit of being the shippers of one of the most popular brands that ever left that town, viz., the celebrated Galley Brand, which, as is well known, is the only one selected for the Exhibition bars. The most famous of Messrs. M‘Nabs brands is the “ Galley,’’ and the fine and delicate flavor and mellow softnesss of this old Highland whisky has won for it the esteem and high ap- proval of the keenest connoisseurs through- out the world. As a proof of the pheno- minal popularity of the Galley Brand Whisky, we would mention that in Mel- bourne Australia, whose citizens are considered the most particular and critical judges of Scotch whiskies in the world, the sales of Galley Brand average over three thousand cases per month. See advertisement in this issue.

. ART IN MONTREAL. ¥

Ite Progress Has Neen Rapid in the Last Forty Years—Canadian Patrons,

“Forty years ago,” said a well-known Canadian artist to a reporter for the Montreal Star the other day, ‘Montreal knew little, if anything, of art. Pic ture-paintingin those days was like the country,raw and undeveloped. Itis true, however, that among us sprang up such local lights as Locke, Kreighoff, Dun- can, Sawyer and a few others. In those duys the sale of a picture for $100 was a rare occurrence, and it was considered a high price. Lateron there came from abroad such artists as Jacobi, Way, Raphael and Fraiser, and then native talent began to develop, and Montreal has good reason to feel proud of Adolphe Vogt, Allen Edson, Wyat Eaton, Heury Sandham and William Brymner.

“Then came the day the lovers of real art let go their purse strings and placed in their homes the pictures which would de credit to any city. Contrast Mon- treal to-day, filled as it is with the best works of the most eminent men, with Montreal forty years ago, when it was utterly barren of anything like a good picture? I am ashamed to say, how- ever, that this applies only to Montreal. Outside of the city, with, perhaps, two exceptions, there is not a painting of note in the Dominion. To-day we are & great art centre and our private col- lections contair some of the finest gems by both old and modern masters. It is a curious fact and one worthy of note that though these collections have been made and are now the property of gen- tlemen of British origin, but few names of English artists are to be found among their treasures.

“For the past ten or fifteen years the French artist has held sway, with a sprinkling of afew Dutch pictures. Fine examples of the French school can be found in our galleries. The early Eng- lish and Dutch paintings are just now attracting a great deal of attention both here and in the United States. No, there is no room here for cheap art. This is plainly shown in the way etchings have gone out in the past year or so. Cheap copies flooded the market and then the really good pictures sank in everybody's estimation. Of course, there are exceptions. i saw a little 6x8- inch etching bring $7,000in London re- cently, and another abont the same size $5,000. If you have read the New York papers lately you probably saw that the Letos Club of that city were holding an art exhibit, and you might also heye noticed among the pictures loaned were several owned by Montreal gentlemen. Among them can be mentioned Sir Wil- liam Van Horne, Mr. D. Morrice, Mr. W. J. Dearmont and Mr. R. B. Angus.

“This tells you better than any argu- ment I can putforth, the position our city is takingin art matters. Of course, a great many of Canada’s native artists have drifted to larger fields. Some heve gone to the United States and others to Europe, but let us hope that this coun- try will soon be in a position not only to retain, but foster them. Then Cana- da can proudly take her place, not only as a professor of works which stand as ideal for alltime to come, but furnish as well the skilful creators of the art which stands first in a modern civiliza- tion.”

The Grave of a Faithful Dog.

Prince Llewellyn was a man of note in the time of King John of England. A leader among the Welsh princes, he occupied his Bethgelert house only in the hunting season. One year, while living there with his family, he return- ed from the chase to meet his hound Gelert running toward him with lips and fangs running blood. Reaching the house, and finding his child missing, and the child’s cradle smeared with blood, he turned upon the dog and slew him. When the latter discovered the child living and well, he saw that Gel- ert had really saved him from death by slaying a wolf that had stolen into the house. In remorse for his hasty deed, Llewellyn expressed his sorrow in the loudest terms, and ordered his servants to erect a monument over poor Gelert’s grave:

“ And now a gallant tomb they raisa, With costly sculpture decked,

And marbles storied with his praise Poor Gelert's bones protect.”

I fear, however, that when the poet wrote these lines he had not visted Beth- gelert. For Gelert’s grave, although romantically situated, is decked with no costly sculpture. The gravestone itself is a slender upright reck, standing under a large spreading tree near the centre of a level field. Although un- doubtedly placed in its present position by human hands, it is still in its rough state. Nochisel has touched it. The grave is enclosed by an iron fence, and during the summer months hundreds of tourists on their way through Snow- donia make a point to view it.—Har- per's Young People.

Would Obey Orders as Usual,

“James,” exclaimed Mrs. McNagg to her patient and long-suffering husband the other night just as he was dropping off into his first doze, ‘‘Iam certain that I heard something moving downstairs, and I'm sure it’s burglars. Get up at once, James, and see what it is. And, oh, dear, if vou find any burglars, what will you do?” “Do?” repeated her hus- band with great calmness as he got up and prepared to explore the regions downstairs. ‘I will do whatever they want me to do, of course. I have never had my own way once in this house yet and it’s too lateto begin now.—Phila- delphia Record.
