Much space i3 given in this book to
the question whether or not it is good
form to leavo the lc;ispoon in tho cup
whilst encompassing its contents or
when passing it back lo get it replen
ished. It is the belief among the old
school Presbyterians and Wlrig3, 1
tliink, that tho spoon shoidd remain
in an upright position in tho cup,
whilst the modern or McKee dynasty
holds that the spoon should bo laid in
tho saucer or concealed about tho per
son whilst sipping the coffee. To this
tho Calvilistic gentlemen who still ad
here to the fly front pants and infant
damnation reply that, according to
good usage, tho laying doon of tho
spoon implies dissatisfaction with the
hand and a call for a new deaL How
ever this may bo, tho manual does not
straighten the matter np at all, but
says that the author himself adheres
to tho custom of leaving tho spoon in
tho cup. This, I think, will havo a
a great deal to do with breaking np
tho practice. Sill lYye.

As early as G o'clock tho veterans
were already upon the streets, and
crowds cf people began to arrive in
town in holiday attire. It is esti
mated that fully 100,000 strangers are
in town.
General Alger appointed comrado
John Byan, of Newton, to bear the
headquarters standard in the proces
sion. Byan has seen fourteen years of
military service of the United States,
and was with Custer and Beno and
Reno's division when the massacre at
Little Big Horn occurred.
The inilux of visitors continued the
entire night.

non announced that tho cruiser Dis-
palch with secretary Tracy, vice-president
Morton and General Sherman
had arrived. The party were escorted
to the Yendome and subsequently
secretary Tracy and Morton were
escorted to the presidential reveiwing
stand on Copley square. President
Harrison breakfasted at the Vendome
and shortly before nine o'clock re
ceived the governor and the state del
egation and the party rode over a por
tion of the route of the parade and
eventually to Copley Square.
President Harriston took his place
on the reviewing stand, meanwhile
the formation of the parade was pro
ceeding on Commonwealth avenue,
the departments moving in parallel
streets nntil opposite and then coming
into position throngh the side streets.
The streets were lined with a solid
mass of humanity. Every window
along tho line of the procession was
packed. Houses and buildings of all
kinds were decorated with flags, bunt
ing and festoons. Thero was music,
cheers and huzzas everywhere.
General Alger, some little distance
in advance of the head of the pro
cession with his staff, reached the
final reviewing stand in Adams
square at 1:45 v. 3T., and had just
taken his position when the vanguard
passed into the square.
It is expected that it will lake five
hours for tho procession to pass a
given point.
At one o'clock only six departments,
the Hlinoi8, "Wisconsin, Ohio, Penn
sylvania, New York and Connecticut
had passed out of Commonwealth
avenue, and at that hour it looked as
though tho last department would not
get off before late in the afternoon.
.There seem3 to be considerable con
fusion on the common where the de
partments and posts were scattered
about, tho bands and dram corps
playing hither and thither.
The departments were marshalled
on Commonwealth avenue in the or
der of seniority, Illinois leadiug, Mas
sachusetts receiving the department
occupying the left of the hne.

Capital is grasping and labor exact
ing, but wo are glad to observe that
each is learning the importance of
mutual concessions and union, and to
respect Iho power of the other. They
both now see that capital cannot prey
upon labor, nor labor demand of capi
tal more than the value of its product
without mutual injury. Between these
two there should ho no discord, for
the one can accomplish but little with

is certain to bring loss to both.

Ottawa, Aug. 12. The Canadian
minister of marine and fisheries has
received a telegram from the depart
ment officer of British Columbia, say
ing that the run of salmon this year
is of a most extraordinary character,
being fully equal to that of last year.
Twenty thousand salmon were taken
by the canneries on Saturday. This
year's ran has npset all the theories
previously held in regard to salmon.
Heretofore, one good season has inva
riably been followed by two poor ones.
Last season was the best tho salmon
canneries ever had, and if the total
pack this year is as large, tho old rule
will not apply and the only reason
that is assigned for tho increased run
this year is that it is the effects of tho
good work done during the past four
or live j ears at tho government lish
hatcheries are now beginning to mani
fest themselves.

A few weeks ago tho capture of a
strange lish at Nilgati-Ken, Japan
was reported. It resembled a tia in
many respects. It was six feet in
length, its body was of a bright red
color, with little polka dots scattered
about, and it. had a long flowing
golden beard. The beard was two
feet in length and as tine as silk.
"When tho fish was landed crowds
came from all over tne country to
view the strange sight. For days it
was a mystery nntil an old fisherman
SO years of age saw it.
"Praise tho Lord," he exclaimed
when he first saw the bright colored
fish. "It is the fuku-tai, and has not
been seen in the waters of our land
for fity years. Fnkn-lai when tran
slated means the tai of happiness and
the fish wa3 called the king of good
luck. It is the sign of splendid
catches, increased business and gen
eral prosperity throughout the land.
Fifty years ago. when the last was
seen in Japan a great feast was held
in it3 honor, and prosperity followed.
A grand jollification was indulged in
this time, and so far tho good luck has
increased. The fish wa3 purchased by
ouo of the richest men in Japan, and
it will bo placed on exhibiton at the
national fair now being held at Tokin

CAPTAIN "WINAXTS OPINION
Or President Harrison's Proclamation De
claring Behrfns. Sea Closed.
The following letter from cantain.
"Winant to the Victoria Colonist, con
siders the sealing question from some
points ot view that are somewnac un
usual and therefore interesting at this
time when the matter is assuming a
constantly increasing international
impertance:
"Is the Behring sea a closed sea?
The president of tho "United States so
declares it by proclamation and, yet
over twenty-five British Columbia
vessels will enter the sea the present
season for the purpose of taking
seals.
"Is this not becoming a farce? and
how long is this to be -continued? It
is becoming each day more apparent
that our government has taken a po
sition that it cannot maintain, and
there can hardly bo a reasonable
doubt that in the end wo will be com
pelled to back down and probably
have a handsomo bill to pay for our
folly. There is no better evidence o
the weakness of our nosition than the
vacillating course our government has
pursued.
"First wo seized the British vessels
then when an inquiry was made by
the English government an order was
issued by 'secretary Bavard' for
their release, and the manner this
order was trifled with makes our gov
ernment appear ridiculous. The au
thorities at Sitka refused to comply
with tho order and when lawyer fnow
judge) Drake of Victoria went there
and demanded to know the reason
why judge Dawson and the IT. S.
marshal denied having received such
an order, ho then demanded tho
court journal and an examination
soon found the order properly entered.
Judge Dawson was paralyzed but the
marshal whose assurance was of a
higher order immediately spoke np
and stated that they would acknowl
edge having received snehan order,
but thought it might be a forgery, so
had refused to act upon it.
"Be this as it may. tho owners of
tho vessels were deprived of the use
and possession of them for about two
and a half years, by which time they
had become worthless, and they re-
inseit to receive tnem.
"The greater outrage, however, con
sisted in the treatment of the crews
of tho captured vessels; they were
turned adrift in Sitka without money
and no means of getting away, and
when some of them appealed to
Judge Dawson and asked him how
they were to get to their homes, he re
plied that he did not know or did not
care, but that there was plenty of lum
ber in the country and they could
build rafts if they chose.
"But the question comes up, what 3
all this business about? Why is all
this bad feeling being engendered
between the two governments? The
only answer von can have is: 'The
seals must be protected or they will be
destroyed.
"Well, would the destruction or
extermination of Hie seals be such a
calamity as some would make it ap
pear? They are nothing but a luxury
at best. Then why should they be
especially protected any more than
the salmon that swim in our streams,
or the whales in the ocean or the buf
faloes that once covered our plains?
"On the contrary, 'there are good
reasons why they should be destroyed.
They are not an article of food, and
they are very destructive of fish,
which arc an article of food. The
lowest estimate made by experts is
that each bcal consumes about ten
pounds of fish daily, and according to
professor Elliott, who claims to have
counted them, there are about six
millions that visits the 'Prybyloff is
lands' every year, these would de
stroy sixty- million pounds of fish
daily, or ten times more than would
be required to supply all the people o
tho United States. The question
might be asktd, which is the mo3fc es
sential to human life, food or seal
skins?
"But, if protection is absolutely
necessary, why not protect them in
their rookery, their breeding place,
tho 'Pribyloff island' and not allow
any lo be killed there? This would
be protection to a purpose, but in
stead of this tho government for the
past twenty years has been leasing the
right to a corporation to kill "one
hundred thousand annually;' and this
is called protection while the little
vessels that hunt them in the open sea
and kill one quarter that amount are
said to be ruthlessly destroying them.
It is a fact well known to many that
the Alaska Commercial company
have at certain times, when they did
not want so many skins, sent
men over to the Copper and Behring
islands and killed them by thousands,
and let them lie where the" stench from
their dead carcasses would prevent
other seals from landing; and the cap
tains of some of the schooners landed
men and cleared a lot of them off.
But the British government would,
probably agree lo some plan of pro
tection if it should be made to bear
alike on all, to prevent seals from
being killed at certain seasons, or
in certain localities, but not to give
privilege to some wealthy corpora
tion to kill and destroy by thousands,
and million of dollars' profit, while tho
hardy and industrious hunter and
sailor aro not allowed to hunt them for
a bare livelihoods J. J. Winajjtt,
