it rea dable an ill-fated prairie v.llagi
that the stranger is led to b lieve that
it must have been the patbefa fearful
cyclone. In this his loncliipioDe would
be correct. Last Sunday morning tbe
rays of the morning sun pierced every
nook of the valley, but was soon ob
scured from sight, and as tiie hour f
bigb twelve drew nearer tbe air so m to
beoome more oppressive. About eleven
o'clock a distant thunder was heard, and
before one half bonr had elapsed the
entire heavens were a mass of ungr)
clouds, dialing with great velocity iu
all directions, and tl e oislatit pealu ol
thunder had b en lepleoed by a noise
resembling Ihe cnnuoniiding nf armies
in a deadly conflict. Cloud-i flew hither
aud thither, thicker aud taster, ap
parently stampeding in every direction.
With a roar aud a rumble which was no
less than the tfl'eot of a severe wind
storm in tho forest surrounding Fox
valley, two angry looking
clouds met on tbe summit of the mouu
lain three miles south of Long Cieek
aud the woik of destruction begau in
all its fury, taking its course almost due
north. A heavy growth of timber on
the mouutuiu side one half mile in
widih fell before it as leudily as grain
before a sickle, and iu but very few sei
omla the entire E. stein portion of
Long Creek was at its rueicy. Dwell
ings, barns and sture buildings were
lifted into Ihe air as if but ihe weight
of a feather, and loi n into annus, por

"Our business ia mostly in fish this
winter," one of them declares. "Hard
times have caused people to econo
mize on high-priced oysters and meats
and turn to fish as the staple food.
Fish are very cheap and plentiful.
Chicago eats 20,000,000 pounds of lake
Gsh and 6,000.000 pounds of ocean fish
annually. The lake fish were caught
and frozen last fall, and so long as
they remain in ice continue as fresh as
when taken from tLe water. How
ever, If anyone demands a newly
caught fish, the Mackinaw fishermen
are sending down choice trout daily
taken from the straits.
"As to oysters, the crop of Balti
more and New York might totally fail
without embarrassing the public in
the least or roising the price of the
bivalve.
"The Gulf of Mexico produces fully
as fine flavored oysters as are taken
anywhere. Many people like the gulf
oyster best. New Orleans could easily
supply the world with oysters, as its
coast environment is enormously pro
lific in oysters, delicious crustaceans,
and fishes. These gulf edibles are
sent north in refrigerator cars which
have conveyed dressed beef south.
They also come by express. The fail
ure of the fish and oyster crop would
be a great boon to the gulf coast
trade."
The fishmonger mentioned that the
Taciflc codfish had invaded the Chi
cago market to the detriment of the
Maine-Massachusetts' namesake. There
is no difference in the appearance of
the rivals, but epicures think the Pa
cific cod the choicer. The Pacific cod
is now shipped to Massachusetts, salted
and sent out as Atlantic cod. No one
can tell the difference.
A popular fish in Chicago is the red
6nappcr taken in the Gulf of Mexico,
and called by many the gulf cod. It is
a handsomer fish than the cod and of
much finer flavor. Large fleets engage
in the catch of this fish and it is forc
ing its way into all the markets of the
world.
Brook trout weighing from two to
five pounds are plentiful in the local
markets. They come from private fish
ponds where they were taken out and
frozen last fall.
The finest yellow perch arc taken in
the Detroit river at the St. Clair Flats.
Muscallonge reach the market from
the interior lakes of Wisconsin.
Tho lake trout varies in color, both
of skin and flesh. The flesh is yellow
from the southern to the northern
waters of Lake Superior. In the
northwest corner of I,ako Sunerior the
flesh becomes reu and tne skin a fac
simile of the brook trout. This latter
variety, which is the finest of trout, is
believed by some to be a brook trout
from the Nipigon river, which in times
past left tho stream and bred a deep
water variety of itself. It is scarce in
tho local market. There is a suspicion
that the local dealer sells it as a large
brook trout.
Eels mostly come from Fulton, N. V.,
where, on the Oswego river, is the
largest eel industry in the world.
Ocoan fish are not popular in the
west, nor arc lake fish popular in the
cast. The condition is natural.
Crawfish come from New Orleans,
where they are the staple food of the
French people. The crawfish makes
the most delicious bisque known to the
epicure.

A society young woman of Buffalo
has devised a novel entertainment,
which is shortly to he made public. It
is to be a reception for people who
can't sleep at night. Among her
friends, says the Medical Record, are a
great many delightful people who are
troubled with insomnia, and who con
fess that they spend many frightful,
wakeful hours walking the floor, look
ing out of the window, rocking in ea"y
chairs, trying to read or write and in
other useless and tiresome occupations.
When her plans are fully matured this
original young women intends, on at
least two nights in every week, to be
at home to those distressed female
friends from midnight until morning.
Thc guents arc requested to appear in
any unhjuo, respectable bedroom gown,
bath robes not excluded; the lights are
to bo dim, soothing music and stupid
conversation will be the only diver
sions permitted, hot chocolate and
light wafers will be served, couches
and easy chairs will he provided in
abundance, and the insomnia victims
arc earnestly desired to fall asleep as
soon as possible. It is whispered that
prises will he ottered for the lirst snore,
but tills detail is not authentically an
nounced. The reception is to be a
fact, however, and au eager expec
tancy as to invitations is in the air.
Old Iijjpt'i Slot Hoist.
The Alexandria correspondent of the
St. James' Gazette thinks thnt ancient
Egypt is "looking up" in every way.
Sonio of its contrivances appear to
have been quite up to date. Actually
they had already, more than two thou
sand years ago, what we call "nickel
in the slot," for the extraction of some
thing useful, pleasant or otherwise
serviceable. Heron, the philosopher
of Alexandria, who flourished in the
third century II. C, himself an in
ventor, describes an automatic ma
chine used in the Egyptian temples for
a long time past By throwing a piece
of money in the slot the worshipers re
ceived some consecrated object through
