As fast as they are taken, ths cod or halibut are dried in the sun and salted down in the vessel's hold. whence the former arc shoveled out many weeks later, in the leather-like coadi tion one buys them in tho corner grocery. ' The fresh halibut and cod one buys ui the , market are caught near the shore by smacks. which isuko two trips a week to the less distant grounds. In this way are taken nearly all the haddock. which are sold unsalted for the most part, owing to the comparatively small number found. Halibut is by far the most orofitable sane for the fisherman. A fair-sized one at 3 , ever had the misfortune to live within cents a pound is worth several dollars, and scenting distance of such an establishment, it is not unusual to find them weighing three and yet the odor is neither so unpleasant hundred weight a piece.

To stout sailor boys who make up the crew of a first-class sea-rolhg fishing boat. The ar rangement usually made is. that the skip par who employs 5ao men pays all the ex penses of a voyage from the sum he receives for his cargo. One-fifth of what remains " goes to the boat," or. ia other words, is the cantam's share. The balance is divided equally among the crew, each of whom is j thus made a partner in the venture an arrangement well calculated to stimulate activity in the pursuit of edibles that swim. And this is where the swiftness of the ves sel is usefuL ;n chasinsr the schools and in making trips out and home again as short as may be.

Many people like to eat them fried, and one dealer told the writer that he himself had sold $30,000 worth of them in the last eight years. The entrails of all the fish are disposed of for fertilizing purposes. The harvesting of the scaly crop each year is an industry of gigantic proportions, employing the services of many thousand able seamen and a multitude of vessels, both big and smalL These vessels are the finest of their kind to be found anywhere, not a few of them vieing in the expensive ness of their construction and the elaborate ness of their equipment with first-class yachts. Speed, next to safety, is the chief disidcratum in the modem fishing-boat, and even Mr. Burgess, tho celebrated designer of pleasure craft that beat the world, has not disdained to build sloops and schooners ' which contend with frantic emulation from . season to season for the proud distinction of " high-line of the fleet.' The fishing-grounds off the New: England shore? are the most valuable known. To the interest felt by rival nations in secur-, mg possession of them history mainly at tributes the colonization of North America. The reports of early explorers touching the wealth of the Western seas coming at a period when Reman Catholic Europe con sumed an incalculable amount of fish in times of religious fasting rave rise to the most intense excitement and set en foot business speculations which were destined, m the course of vears. to conjure up the specter of grim-visaged war. For two cent- j ur-.es the French and English fought over the profitable waters, which even at the present day are a subject of internauonal dispute. The early colonists earned their bread and butter chiefly with hook and line, and in thusc days tho salary of the minis ter, the debt due the merchant, and in fact most pecuniary obligation, were paid in the staple roimodity. fish.

The workman fixes one end of tho cane firmly in a vice and pours a continuous stream of lire from a gaspipo on the part which is to be bent. When sufficient heat has been applied tho cane is pulled grad- , ually around until the hook is farmed; it is then firmly secured with string, aad after an additional application of heat in the form of baking the curl is permanently fixed. The under part of the hook, whichis much charred by the action of the gas, is rubbed dowa as much as possible and smoothed with sand-paper before poushin. Men Who Make Fortunes Oat of the Refuso in Meat. How Horn. Hoof, Hone and Every Pot tion orsiaushtertfil IJeef Are Utilized A Xuinlier uT Industries Pe culiar to Chicago. Of all the products that come into Chi cago market beef is the most effectually utihied. says the Chicago Mail. From the time a beef leaves the pasture until its I steals are caterer, it served by some fashionable lia passed throught several thousand hands, and has contributed cither diectlv or indirect! to several hundred i distinct and separate industries, In no city in the wo rid is the principle of j sore stnklnslv exem- tneoivisonciuoor more pUSed than m Chicago, with her manifold industries dependent on the tragic in beef. One would naturally suppose that beef was so plentiful anJ cheap in a central market , like Chicago that no cac would rhink of making: a special business of utilizing what In manv cities is cast awav as refuse. Hut t the very fact that Chicago is so sreat a beef market renders it possible for almost every ounce of beef to be put to some prac tical use. There has grown up in this city within the past ten years the largest bone and tal low industries m this country. These in dustries have not only served to build up immense private fortunes, but, a- an oCicer of the Board of Health said recently, they have been of untold value to Chicago in a sanitary point of view. This may seem at first thought a curious statement! But the explanation is simple. A bone and tallow factorv is not a desirable i neishboF, as evcrv one Knows who has remove this meat to some "suburban dump-ins-place would entail considerable expense oa the butcher, and he would in many in stances, be tempted to let economic consid erations take preference over regard for public health. The dealer in bones buys off the butcher whatever is worth payinjr for in the way of bones, horns, hoofs, hide, tal- low, meat, and hauls it away, and often gets for the mere hauling away meat that would soon become a nuisance to the butcher, but which can be turned to some practical ac count at the tallow factory. All of the lead ing butchers of Chicago have now come to depend on the bone and tallow dealers to relievo them of what they can not dispose of to their regular customers. To facilitate ia ascertaining the price of the commodity it is usual for the batcher to sort it. Fer instance, he puts all the kidney suet in one barrel, the Sank tallow in another, the soup-bones in another, and the waste meat in another. These are all sorted in the order of value. If the bucher fails to de the sorting himself, he is obliged to sell for a lower price, as the work of sorting after the stuff is once mixed is both difficult and unpleasant and frequently costs more than it is really worth. The bone and tallow dealer sends out his wag ons every day to different parts of theciy to buy tp the butchers' refuse. Each wag on has a -regular route and makes regular trips at stated intervals. The loads are brought into the factory and distributed to appropriate places. All of the tallow is put into a vast caldron and rendered into the form in which it is found in commerce. There are a number of steps m the refining process, but they vary according to the punty of the article when it comes into the factory. The bones form a curious collec tion, and suggest at once the prophet's vision in the Old Testament. Here are the bleached skulls of oxen, with yawning jaws, grinning teeth and empty sockets. They seem almost to speak from out their grim receptacle some legend of the Humane So ciety. Occasionally a huge skull happens to have a pair of cross-bones near it, and suggests the ghoulish emblem of the death's head. The bones are of all sizes and ages. There are the dry bones that have lain bleaching for months on the prairie and have been gathered by some economic farmer and shiyied to Chicago for a few cents more than paid the freight. Then there are the juicy soup-bones fresh from the butcher-shop. But these must go through many transformations before they are ready for the market. First they are cooked and the grease all extracted. This grease is convened into lubricating oils. The bones are next put to soak in a tank with water running constantly in and out. Thus they are Cleaned. When all greasy imparities are removed the bones are laid out to ds- and are ready to join company with thdr congeners of the plains. They are dropped into a gigantic hopper and gronnd to a ccarse Hour or dust. The mill grinds with a hunrrj- irreed and rarely re ceives a mouthful too d.Giealt for its pawer of mastication. The bone dust is weighed, barred, scned and thinned to all par's of the country where fertilaung material is needed. One r.f the mest valuable prcduils ol tie establishment is rczc. This is made of the h-.ofs of rattle. There is a secret process in Ks manufacture that is always , carefail; guarded and is known to only one man. Ills cti of those peculiar trade se cret liiat no patent righ wou.d properly protect. In this it resembles tl e secret of " making jwrcelam. possessed only by the ileissen (Saxcny) porccai potters. The hoofs are subjected to some process by which they are turned into liquid. This liquid comes out rcsembhn? in color and ccnsiteny New Orleans molasses. It is run into coolini-pans, where it becomes par tially solid. Then it is cut into cakes like gingerbread, and allowed to harden, and is then broken into small pieces and placed in barrels ready to bo shipped. The boms furnish ia themselves material for two or three different industries. Tho large, curving horns of Texas cattle are made into house ornaments. The horns are also used far making ornamental chairs and ther pioees of furniture, a taste for which has become of late years exceedingly wide spread. The oi-dinary horns arc turned into buttons of all kinds, and hunters' and fish ers' furnishings. Caaai?-i;irl Culture. The breeding of canary birds is a com mon occupation among the Hartz Mount ains, and a ready market is found for them ia the city of Goslar, an aristocratic place of 30,000 inhabitants, where some of the de 1 ceased rulers of Prussia lie buried. The birds gaaer-lly sell at prices ranging from a few dollars t -30; but there is one varie ty. exceptiouuL liae singers, which fre- quently briag t KX. This bird serves the purposes of a teacher to the others in the matter of singing, and is therefore eagerly sought after. Kecently a dealer in canary birds from the Hartz Mountains landed ia New York, bringing with him upward of 2.000 beautiful sensstert. Jt was his inten tion to dlcpose cl thfci Li the large cities of the country. It is fitting that the pioneer of low-priced journalism in the West should lead in placing the American newspaper of to-day upon the basis of the lowest unit of American coinage. Twelve years ago that unit was the nickel in Chicago and throughout the Northwest The founding of The Daily News at a lower price was regarded by the journalistic profession as inviting certain failure. But they were wrong. To-day there is not a nickel paper in Chicago, and the circulation of The Daily News averages, as shown by its pub lished sworn statements, 175,000 copies a day with a single exception the largest daily circula tion in America, and greater than the circula tions of all other Gucago dailies combined. The Daily News has prospered beyond the most sanguine hopes of its founders. For this it has more than once made its grateful acknowledg ments to an appreciative public. It believes, how ever, that the time has now entirely within the limits of a wise commercial progression, it can give its thanks more practical expression. It proposes henceforth to "divide" as to its friends and to multiply as to its circula tion. To-day it reduces its price to One Cent and expects to double its circulation. . And anticipating the questionings of the doubtful let it be briefly said that the thing can be dene. The Daily News all that it has been in the past, as well as all that is it in the future as a leader m progressive Ameri can journalism can be produced and sold for ont cent a day, and this by reason of those com mon principles of' trade which make possible lower prices just in proportion as the aggregate volume of sales increases. The Daily News now sells over a million papers a week, as shown by its published sworn statements of circulation, and it can afford to sell at a smaller profit per paper than other -Chicago dailies, no one of which has as much as one-third the average daily, circulation The Red Cloud Street Railway Co. j Time Table.

HS-t f lie cent a M THE CHICAGO announces the reduction cents to ONE CENT per of The Daily News. The large addition to its present miliion-a-week circulation, which will surely come with its reduction to one cent a day; will fully compensate for the reduced profit at which each paper is sold. All this concerns the reader only as assuring him that The Daily News can reduce its price and at the same time maintain its high character as the foremost newspaper of the Northwest that a million-a-week circulation makes the otherwise impossible entirely possible. The present is peculiarly the time to inaugu rate this popular departure in American jour nalism. The approaching Presidential election widens immeasurably the field and opportunity for The Daily News as an independent, impartial, fearless newspaper one free from ail the entangle ments of mere partisan allegiance. " The demand is more and more for a newspaper which shall give all the political news free from partisan color ing, and which shall tell the absolute, unvarnished come when, acting truth about things, regardless of its effect upon the fortunes of this or that political party or candidate. This demand The Daily News aims to meet, and at its reduced price it combines all the elements which should make it literally everybody's paper. Tc the thousands of new readers whose atten tion is now for the first time directed to The Daily News it is proper to say that they will find it complete in all the essentials of the best Ameri can journalism of to-day. Its quality as a fiezzs paper proper is best indicated in the fact that it is the only low-priced paper in Chicago or the North-west, which is a member of the " Asso ciated Press." The other " Associated Press " papers in Chicago, the Tribune, the Times and Inter-Ocean all cost three cents. The Chicago Daily News prints all the nezvs and sells it for one cent a day. Sold by all news dealers. Mailed, rightly expected of postage paid, at S3.00 per year, or 25c. per month. Address VICTOR F. LAWSON. Publisher, Jim Butler is on the sick list.
