We have a fish in the Illinois river which does not feed on anything except vegetable matter, and its name is buffalo carp. This fish in every way is superior to the German carp. The buffalo carp we ship in carload lots to New York in the winter season, and at times they sell at a fair profit to the fisherman. In the summer they are shipped to all parts of the west. We learn that no one in New York except the Jews cat the buf falo carp, but wc think if some of the gentiles would try them they would be surprised, as they are a purely vegetable eating fish and exceedingly sweet to the taste.

The state board cf equalization has completed its work of fixing the rate of the tax levy for state purposes in the several counties of the state. The rate varies from 6 mills in Lincoln county to seven 1 mills in Douglas and Lancaster counties. This difference in the state levy in the different counties is caused by the dif ference in the rule pursued by local assessors in assessing the property of the county higher or lower. The total assessed valuation for the state is over $4,000,000 less than, last year. Ike line of Battle. The gage of battle has been thrown down between conservatism, business prudence and honest money on the one side, and wildcat finance, reckless repu diation, panic and disaster on the other. The former is represented in the Repub lican financial plank, the latter in that labeled Democratic. The matter now rests with the voters, and there is little doubt as to the outcome Nor. 2.

Sold by F H Longley WANTED THREE THOUSAND WIVES. A City oa Tan co Ever Island "Where Wosseu Are at a Premium. There is a city in the western part of Canada, close to- the Pacific ocean, witich is named by all who visit it the most desolate spot upon the face of the V earth. Its climate is good, its natural resources excellent, its houses fair, its streets well paved, yet within this town there is an air of forlorn dejection, that strikes the most careless traveler that comes within its boundary. It is onTancouver island a sweet, fair spot And the desolation is caused by one thing one only the lack of women and girls. This particular town is scarcer of the product than others of its locality. There are many towns upon the island, but this one lacks women, so sadly that m a recent census of the place it was found nearly 3,000 short. This number included a count of serving women, women to do the work of the house, cook and wash and iron. It also included working girls and women who are not expected tomarry. And, of course, it took in the Queens of the city, the fan matrons of the homes and the mistresses of the pretty establishments. Today the doorsteps of these houses J U IUUUUUJ till V. I W Till SJ 111 over the portals seem to say, She comes not yet" The greatest bargain sale of wives ever known took place upon a recently opened domain a few years ago. A frantic call was sent to the cities for 10C women. And poor girls, out of fun and curiosity and willingness to have a home, went out there. The men met them at the station. The girls looked them over shyly. By evening all the girls had found boarding places in the wooden shanties of the "town." And .by Sunday the parson was kept busy ty ing the nuptial knots. The prettiest girls and the richest ones got the wealthiest men. A girl with f 50 was an heiress and a man with 100 a prince. The plain girls took up with poor fel lows, with hopes and chances. It was a quick, natural selection. One very handsome fellow, with blond curls, got a very pretty girl, though neither had a cent. It was a case, of beauty. The rude courtship was car ried on in the three evenings between the time the girls arrived and Sunday, and within a week there were nearly 100 small wooden houses going np in the town. There is no name for this peculiar state of society where women are want ed to make homes and where money is laid down for them and paid to them to queen it over a home. A glaring head line in an English paper once called it "The Barter of Women In America." But among those who see the satisfaei! tory after workings it is merely the good natured consent of the girls to ad just themselves to their- country, which is yet new enough not to be as evenly distributed as it will be when the twenty-first century man and woman come in. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Electricity and Vegetatlotv, As there are a great many references in cur scientific exchanges of late tc the influence of electricity on germinat ing seeds and growing plants we will state that such experiments are not new. Researches in that line were car ried on away back in the fifties. In 185 a H. P. Baxter of Scotland wrote as fol lows in The British Botanical Review : MAs it may be considered a law in vegetable physiology that all plants have a tendency during the germination of their seeds to develop in two diamet rically opposite directions, the root and the stem, the question arose, Might not this direction be influenced or coun teracted by submitting the germinating seeds to a current of electricity? Accord ingly, a series of experiments were un dertaken which were carried out with elaboration of detail. After months. o patient experimenting I fee justified in announcing that no definite conclusions were drawn from them as to ho rela- tive effect cf the electricity, although each series of experiments was varied and multiplied-" St Louis Republic. TIic Snez Canal. A letter, recently published, from Bonaparte to his friend Paul L the em peror of Russia, shows that but for the assassination of the latter in 1S01 the Suez canal might have been cut many years before 1869. Napoleon wrote that the British threatened to invade; Ejcvpc and that fheir pride and insolence should be rebuked- He added: ""The Suez canal, which will unite the Medlt terra nean and the Indian ocean, is sur veyed. It is ji work which can be fin ished within a short time and which would prove to be of incalculable bene fit to Russian commerce. It is inter esting to note that the diplomatic rep resentative of France in Egypt at that time was M. de Lesseps, the father of Ferdinand de Lesseps, who finally ac complished the great undertaking. Went by the Express. Suburban Resident See here, sir! You told me that country place I bought of you was only 35 minutes from the city. Girv Agent Yes, sir, $5 minutes by express. You remember, when we went out to look at it, the time was 35 min utes exactly. "Bur, confound it, sir, the express traina dou't stop there, not one of them, and the accommodation takes about an hour and a half!" "You and I went by express, and it stopped for us, you know."

The wheelman had only one leg, but he was riding with all the assurance and ease- of an expert, and he evidently could have "scorched" had he so de sired. He had on a tasteful, quiet bi cycling suit, and his one leg was neatly j incased in half a pair of knickerbockers. A cress the handle bars of the wheel lay a crutch. At Twenty-sixth street he alighted easily and gracefully, leaned his wheel against the curbing, adjusted his crutch and hobbled into a cafe. When he came out, the people who had seen him dismount had gathered in a utut crowa in ine interests or science to see him mount his wheel again. It was a very simple performance. He gave a- glance of mingled amusement and triumph at the crowd, put his foot on the step of his machine, grasped, the left handle bar firmly with one hand, gave? a vigorous push with his crutch and glided easily away. ."That's easy," he shouted back over his shoulder to the crowd. The people looked at each other in astonishment "Well! well!" said the fat man who had been one of the most interested observers. "The cripple may throw his crutches to the winds. , That scheme discounts a wooden leg.'' New York Tribune. A Hornless Back. A curious and exceedingly unusual freak is reported by a deer hunter to Forest and Stream. The hunter was up in Wexford county, ilich., and got on a deer trail that had hoof marts plainly made by a buck. Almost all hunters of deer can tell a buck from a doe track. After trailing the deer and getting within a rod of it the buck leaped out of a clump of brush and got knocked down with a bullet through the head. The deer did npt have any horns, al though a 2-year-old and weighing 150 pounds. Further, it never had had any horns. Does with horns, bucks with three horns, dozens cf spikes and malformed horns have often been reported of Mich igan and other American deer, but this is the first hornless American buck re ported, although some European deer sometimes lack such weapons, but yet are able to whip the horned ones. Wood Palp. A new and efficient machine for grinding a log into paper pulp and pro ducing a superior quality of fiber is de scribed in The Manufacturers' Gazette as having a metallic base, heavy and over an inch thick, pierced with holes throughout its surface, and the inner surface corrugated; within is a heavy cyelinder, the outer surface of which is corrugated, the corrugations running in a direction opposite to the casing. Now, when the cylinder is set in motion and a log of wood is placed between cylinder and casing, the corrugations strip the weed into a soft, fluffy, fibrous material in appearance nearly like cQ;toti sq nearly like it, in fact, as to be mistaken for that article Lv the uninitiated. In the final stage of this simple operation the Sbrous material is forced through the holes which pierce the casing of the macLine. DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Peafness is caused by an inflamed con dition of the mucous lining of tha Eus tachian Tube. When this tube is in flamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entire ly closed, Deafness is the result, and un less the inflamation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal con- Mition, hearing will be destroyed forever; ninecasesontof ten are caused by ca rarrh which is nothing but an inflamed condition 'f the mucous surfaces. We will give Gne Hundred Dollars for any caso of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars; free. F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O.
