A Pish Story.
Dr. Charles C. Abbott, in a recent
number of Science, tells the following
story of some pike ho had gone in
search of minnows, but were cut off
by a gill net. "The first pike was
caught in the meshes of the net.
Straightway the others stopped as
suddenly as they had started, and
recognizing their fellow in trouble,
took in the situation at once. Each
pike evidently realized the true con
dition of affairs, and reasoned thus:
That pike tried to go through this ob
stacle in the water and is in trouble;
it is necessary for me to avoid it by
some means. There was five of these
fish that paused close to the net, and
each acted, I believe, as it thought
best. One of them came to the sur
face, and, cfter a moment's pause,
turned upon one side and leaped over
the cork-line. Seeing the success of
this effort on the part of one, a second
did the same. A third came to the
shore near where I stood, and, dis
covering a narrow space between
the brail and the net, passed very
slowly through, as thoagh feeling its
wa The others were either more
timid or less cunning. They turned
to go up Btream, but being met by
my companiou, who was making a
great noise by whipping tho water,
they rushed again towards the net,
but checked their course when their
noses touched the fatal net. Prompt
action was necessary. They had not
confidence in their leaping-powers;
and both, ns though struck with the
same thought at the same moment,
sank suddenly to the bottom of the
stream, and burrowed icto tho sand
and beneath the load-line, which was
in full view. In a moment they re
appeared on tho other side of the net
and were gono."
One Kind of "Journalism."
Tho following conies by way of San
Franci8co:j' 'About threo weeks ago an
article appeared in the Polaris, charg
ing C. H. Morris, chief engineer of the
Oregon and California railroad, and
some contractors, with crooked con
duct in expenditures on tho new con
struction work. An investigation
shows that there was no foundation
whatever for tho article. The pub
lishers say they were paid $500 to
print tho article and would not give
;he author's name unless paid a simi
lar sum. Morris said ho would rather
throw the money into the river, but
will spend twice that to discover tho
real author. The publishers will be
arrested and brought before the grand
Jury on a charge of criminal libel and
will doubtless bo forced to disclose the
guilty one. It is strongly suspected
that a rich floseburg merchant, who
could not do things as he pleased
along the line of construction, is the
author of the slander. The right-of-way
agent, Sol Abrahams, and others
have been discharged from the rail
road company, presumably on account
of their connection with the libel."
Valuable Pet
At Kalama a shrewd Englishman
has a pet seal, which he always places
in a box near tho wharf so that pas
sengers from Tacoma may seo it, ap
parently suffering from close confin
inent, and longing for its homo in the
water. Yesterday a party of six good
natured commercial travelers, taking
pity on the animal,bought it for $2.50,
and when the boat started for Port
land, threw it overboard, repaid for
their outlay in the approval of their
consciences. They had '.'.ought liber
ty for a dumb creature at tho rate of
42 cents per capita. But before the
boat had reached tho middle of the
river the seal had swam back to tho
dock, and was lying peacefully in tho
bosom of his master. When that
sextette of drummers were informed
by the captain that tho Englishman
practiced the little racket every day,
that the seal was a pet, and that re
ceipts averaged $4 a day, they asked
the captain to tako his boat back to
Kalama so they oould throw the man
overboard. Oregonian.

What's a Grocer?
"Uncle Jack," in the American
Grocer, gives the following amusing
and interesting answer to the abovo
questien:
"1 have heard numerous questions
asked by all kinds of people, in and
out of business, in reference to the
above. What is ho ' How did he
come to have this name given to him?
or where did he get it from? and a,
kost of others. These questions were
usually addressed to a member of the
trade, and he, as usual, failed to give
any satisfactory answer. "Is it pos
sible that you are a grooer, and not
able to tell me how you came to have
such a name?" said a bright-eyed
young lady, of some seventeen sum
mers, in my hearing. "Well" she
continued after a brief pause, "'tis
really funny." The member of the
trade to whom this rather puzzling
question was addressed considered
himself n model grocer; yet, will all
his knowledge of Oolong, Java, Rio,
etc., he was unable to give tho re
quired information. Of course he
tried to define a grocer, but. the
further he went with his explanation,
the more perplexed and mixed he be
came, until the young and beautiful
tantalizer laughed outright, and, with
a blush of pity on her fair ch'eek,
turned on her heel and whispered
slewly: "I'll call again in about a
week, by which time you may be able
to tell me why th y call you a grocer."
The young man smiled, and grace
fully bowed the young beauty out,
being only too pleased with tho idea
that he had a week to hunt up the
reason why he wa3 called a grocer.
I have no desire to see any of my
readers in the plight I have described,
and therefore I will briefly tell you all
I know about it. The word grocer is
derived from the old French word
grossier, which word was originally
derived from Latin, meaning one th.it
sells only by tho great, or utters his
commodities wholesale. In olden
times a grocer was known by the
name of Spicer. Two kinds existed
even at this ago, those who sold
wholesale were called grosser or en
grossers, and the retail dealer, who is
now a grocer, was then called a
regrator. Thus it will be seen that
none of these auswer the question
thoroughly, for a grosser would just as
well apply to a dry goods merchant,
or a dealer in any kinds of wares
whatever.
The terra grocer appears to be of
modern origin, and has been intro
duced with tho object of describing a
dealer in tea and sugar. This really
was the reason why tho modem word
grocer came to bo applied to the trade.
Of course, since its first introduction,
the trade has extended from tea and
sugar to an almost endless variety -of
food products. Tho modern grecer,
therefore.bears no greater resemblance
to the old original id;a than the elec
tric light does to the old-fashioned
"dip." This, my boys is all I kndw,
and it may be of interest to some of
ray new constituents."

Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, X Y.:
Dear Sir My wife had suffered with
"female weaknesses" for nearly three
years. At times she could hardly
move, she had such dragging pains.
We often saw j'our "Favorite Pre
scription" advertised, but supposed
like most patent medicines it did not
amount to anything, but at last con
cluded to try a bottle which she did.
It made her sick at first, but it began
to show its effect in a marked improve
ment, and two bottles cured her.
