vegetable matter, and its name is buffalo

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

assessed valuation for the state is over
$4,000,000 less than, last year.

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

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.

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

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.
