NVGORATOB INDUSTRIAL FACTS AND INFERENCES According to recent statistics, about 150,000 vessels are engaged in Europe and North America in fishing. Nearly 700,000 men are engaged m this industry. A ton of fish is said to be equal to 2S sheep. The catch of fish in European countries, the United States and Canada, for a sin gle year, is equal to 42,000,000 sheep. Little account is taken of the harvest of the sea. The fishing boats at Eye mouth, England, use about 47,000,000 mussels, or G20 Ions, annually in the haddock fisheries. Tho annual fish j -product of the United States is esti i mated to be equal to 5,000,000 sheep. 1 Were it not for the products of the sea, there would be a famine every year in many lands. Food-fishes, oysters and clams are decreased or increased according to the draft made on these supplies, or the care or neg lect tonching tho protection of these sources of "supply. A committee of inquiry has recent ly been appointed to ascertain, if pos sible, to what extent the seals near the mouth of Sau Francisco harbor destroy fish. The testimony thus far is somewhat conflicting. Seals livo on fish. They are indiscriminate feeders. No doubt they destroy many tons of fish daily near the mouth of the harbor and many more tons all along the coast But long before there was any city on the present site of San Fraucisco seals were just as abundant as liiw, and probably more so. The bay and adjacent waters were alive with fish. But at this date hardly less thau 400,000 people aro dependent upon fish caught in these waters, taking account, of course of the fish distributed to suburban towns. Tho immense quantities of salmon are taken from rivers flowing into the bay. For anything that appears to the contrary, seals have been getting their daily rations of fish off the har bor for more than a thousand years. It was not until about 400,000 people drew supplies from the same source, and another largo amount was drawn in the interest of foreign commerce, that any apparent diminution of fish was noted. It is probablo that the fish now taken in the waters of Cali fornia and Oregon annually are equal to 1,000,000 sheep as a food supply. So great are these resources on the northwest coast that a famine could hardly occur even if all the land cropj were to fail. ir recent statements can bo relied upon, upward of 10,000,000 acres of public laud are to-day illegally held by cattlemen. Many of these cattle companies control more than 100,000 each. The drive of cattle last year from Texas alone produced the own ers about S5,000,OCO. Tho Wyoming Stoek-growers' association began op eralion3 a little more than ten years ago with ten members and 20,000 head of cattle. That association uow has a membership of over four hun dred, and owns 2,000000 head of cat tle, worth not less than S40,000,000. The apparently vast increase in the business of cattle-growing has wot cheapened the cost of meat to the consumer. In 18GS the estimated value of a Texan steer fit to drive to market, was $1.50. In 1SSI tho esti mated value was $17. So great were the profits of the business, which ranged from DO to GO per cent., that the cattlemen began to look around for larger domains. The Indiau res ervations iu the territories attracted their attention. The cattlemen obtained a foothold on some of tho reservations in Moutaua, Idaho and Dakota. They then made a raid ou the Indian territory, leasing large areas of land at two cents an acre, until they had covered some thing like -ljOCOjOOO acres. It is from these lands that they have been moved off. Some of them are now heading for Now Mexico, but not withont somo opposition from that quarter. Tho governor of the territory says that there is room enough for all tho cattle there which it is proposed to remove from the Indiau territory. While1 some of cattle th syneicates buy pub lic laud, others rely solely on mere possession by force. It is certain that by no fair means can any such im mense areas of public land be ac quired by any association or syndi cate. But wherever ouo of these powerful associations takes posses sion of land there is no chance for the settler. He cannot contend with such an army. Neither is there any chance for the best results of civili zation. Tho church and the school house are never planted on such wastes. Tho cowboy is thero in his glory. Scenes in Slam. In Siam they cut tho tails of the cats so as to leave each tail about an inch long. Then thoy dyo the ani mals a bright yellow, which makes them look very gay. The ten inch lizards of Siam crawl on the ceilings and eat flies and"mosqni toes. Siamese Priuceses of royal blood wear less clothes than a New York street arab. The doctors of Siam prescribe such queer things as crushed spider, pieces of roptiles, ground serpents, bones, scrapings of the horns of wild goats, stags and rhinoceroses, and the scales of fishes and insects. How much better to tell their patients to take Brown's Iron Bitters and bo well. The largest dock in tho world is at St. Johns, Newfoundland. It is GOO feet long at the top, 558 feet long up on tho line of keel blocking and 132 feet wide, and the drift over gate still 25 feet at high tide. GRANTS DRINK BEFORE VICKSBURG. Gen. Grant's personal habits in the use of liquor have been a matter of , endless assertion and contradiction chiefly because he was a man of sober , life, who sometimes used whisky free ly, and with such men a single wit , ness who has seen a drink taken will color the gossip of a decade with somo story which i3 a concretion of falsehood about a single grain of truth. Gen. Bawlins early saw that safety in the trials, temptations and exposures of camp-life lay in total abstinence, and whilo he controlled the headquarters mess the only liquor permitted iu tho headquarters stores was in the staff surgeon's chest, and precious little of that. In the cam paigning, which stretched from Shi loh on, Geu. Rawlins wa3 relentless on any evasion of this rule. An officer on Gen. Thomas' staff tells a story of a visit to Gen. Grant's headquarters in the field during tho Yicksburg campaign, whore ho was mado at home in the headquarters mess. It was a Mississippi June, hot aud dusty, and ho was surrounded by old West Point friends; but first the af tornoon, supper, and theu thd evening wore away without word or sign of "how" as they used to say in the Seventh cavalry. At last he venture! on a suggestion, alimid, halting remark, to the surgeon on headquarters staff, who, iu a whisper, explained that Gen. Bawlins was "death on" liquor, but that toward taps the surgeon's shelter tap might hold something. An hour later found tho officer and the surgeon sitting on each side of a cracker-box which carried a tin cup. a goblet and a bottle the one bottle in headquarters. There was a gurg ling sound, tho aroma of old rye on the air, and outsido came a step the two men looked guiltily at each other; the iiap of the shelter-tent moved tho lips of the surgeon shaped the werds: "It's Bawlins" and the flap flew back and Grant himself stepped half in, reached out without a word, seized the goblet, emptied it and re tired, as silently. 'Well, wo are dished," was the comment of the surgeon, but breakfast found the general commanding, silent and im- perturable and the headquarters menu cflll l"t lorn nttnvn.nrtl 4liA rt. -3-1 J. J-'0 CILfcUl ttcltU, 11JU Will cer and Gen. Grsni were in the smoker of a Pullman together. The latter dropped hi3 cigar straight down after a fashion ho had, and asked abruptly: "Do yon remember that drink on tho -Big'Black river?" "Perfectly," said the officer with alac rity. "I don't think I ever wanted a driuk so much before or since," was Ger. Grant's solitary comment tf.W. r.iW.v, in the' Philadelphia Press; 3Ian Drowned. A mnu was found floating in the north channel of Sand lake, which empties into the ocean about six miles north of Nestncca bay, says the Ort fflin Jtcffisttr. Justico of the Peace Weatherly summoned a jury and held an inquest, on the 9th, which ren dered a verdict that the uamo of the man was Frank Chambers, who had been living at Sand lake, and came to his death by accidental drowning on the morning of the Slh. He was twenty-eight years of age, and was a son of Mr. Chambers, living at! Beth el, iu Polk county. It is supposed that he had started iu a sail boat in tho morning, for the jmrposoof fish ing, and that the sail proving too heavy for his boat, he had landed and put it upon tho bank, and while so doing his boat got away from the bank, and in attempting to recover it was drowtol. His ve-t, cap and shoes and stockings were found on the bank where ho had left tho sail. He was buried in tho Big Nestncca bury ing ground. The Louisville, Ivy., Courier Journal states that the well-known pioneer. Prof. Donaldson, after hav ing suffered with rheumatism over twentv years, was cured by St. Jacobs Oil. Tho four weeks' stoppage by which it is expected the Fall River, Mas?., cotton mills will improve their trade will cause an estimated loss of $210, 000 iu wages of operative?. Destroy that Sign. One may feel that he is getting old, bnt he naturally dislikes that any thing about his appearance should advise others of the fact. Yet nothing does this so effectually as thin and falling hair. No woman wants to marry a man, and business firms hes itate to employ a man, who shows this fatal sign. Parker's Hair Balsam is worth to you, iu this regard, n?re than its weight in diamonds. Use it, and have plentiful and glossy hair. Many havo had every trace of gray ncss removed and bald spots covered by using a single bottle.
