THE PURE FOOD LAW.

Secretary Wilson says: “One of the objects of the law is to inform the consumer of the presence of certain harmful drugs In medicines.’’ The law requires that the amount of chloroform, opium, morphine, and other habit forming drugs be stated on the label of each bottle. The manufacturers of Chamberlain’s Cough Rimtdy have always claimed that their remedy did not contain tmy of these drugs, and the truth of this claim is now fully proven, as no mention of them is made on the label. This remedy is not only one of the safest, but one of the best in use for coughs and colds. Its value has been proven beyond question during the many years it has been in general use. For sale by B. F. Fendig. c The grave is a narrow escape from life.

A TRAMP'S ONE CHANCE.

I am a tramp. I’ve a traikp, and I suppose I*ll always be a tramp. I had a chance once to be something better, or supposed I had. but I didn’t avail myself of it The reason I didn't was because I could not. Anyway if I had succeeded in making a new start I doubt if I’d have kept up the effort. There are people fitted for statesmen, soldiers, business—professional men, sailors, roustabouts, servants and tramps. I was made for a tramp. ’ The chance I refer to was this: I was in my traveling carriage one day —I mean on the truck under a rails way car—when I espied a paper that had been caught in a crevice. It .looked like a bank bill, and its denomination appeared to be a dollar. I couldn’t reach it till the train stopped, and I was afraid it would become detached before that. I was half an hour looking at it, wondering all the while how it got there. It had probably dropped by some one, most likely at a station, had been sucked up when the train was in motion and got lodged in the crevice, the sides of which had been compressed from some cause or other to hold it. As soon as the train came to a stop I reached for it. What was my astonishment to find that the “1” I had been looking at was followed by three naughts; I was the possessor of a thousand dollar bill. No sooner had I become conscious of my good fortune than I crumpled it in my fist and made for a field near the station at which the train had stopped. Seeing a barn, I went -to it, climbed into the mow and, reclining on the hay, thought what I should do with my find. I spent a whole afternoon thinking. We tramps take a lot of pleasure in thinking, just as other people take pleasure in acting. The tramp to enjoy his profession should be a castle builder. The afternoon I spent conjuring up fortunes obtained with my Thousand dollars was the happiest in my life. I would go to the city, buy out a little shop, be economical and industrious, enlarge my business, make money, invest it and in time become a multimillionaire. It wouldn’t do for one that all the ' world could see was a tramp to offer a thousand dollar bill for a railroad ticket. The agent couldn’t change it if he would. So I tramped to the city. When I got there I thought the first thing for me to do would v be to fix myself up. Going into a mammoth store where they sold clothing, I asked to see a suit about my size. The clerk went away and came back with a spick and span fellow —a sort of floor walker, I reckon —who hemmed and hawed and said that goods were only sold there for cash. I pulled out my bill and showed it to him, asking if he could change it. He looked at it dumfounded and said he’d see. What I was suffering from most about that time was a vacant stomach. I went to a restaurant and took a seat at a* table. None of the waiters came near me, but presently the proprietor did and asked me if I had not got into the wrong place. What could I Go —ask him if he’d give me a meal on a thousand dollar bill? Not much. I told him I had thought the place a restaurant, but was mistaken; sorry I’d Intruded. And I went out. Somehow I didn’t see where I was going to begin. Besides I couldn’t be an all-fired while finding out, for I had no place but the park to sleep in and not a crust to put in me. You see, I wasn’t used to city life. If I tried to buy out a shop or rent one and buy a stock of goods to put in it the moment I showed my bill the gentlemanly owner would ask me to sit down while he got the change and would telephone the police. I went about trying to get someone to give me a meal, but city servants are not used to beggars, except those who beg for money, and they all ah st the door in my face. Finally, when I was nearly starved I struck a little house where my ring was answered by a girl about 19 years old. That girl was either a fcol or she was altogether out of place in this world. I never struck such a green hue even in the country. She took me in and gave me what she had to eat, then sat down and talked to me, looking all the while out of her sympathetic eyes at me to cheer me ip. She must have known that misery loves company. She told me that ?'he was in love with a young fellow who wasn’t getting along very well and was going to lose his position. Her employer wanted 11,000 in his business and was going to take in another clerk with that amount and make a partner of him. “Is that all he wants?’’ I says. "Could you git married If your feller had >1,000?’’ “Of course we •could.’’ “Well, >I,OOO isn’t very much. I reckon I can spare you that in return for your meal and your klndless and confidence.” I pulled out by bill and gave It to her, and before her eyes got down from their big focus so as to see me I'd gone out and away. In less than an hour I was in the country and at home, tramping, as I've always tramped, because that's the life that suits me. But I've had many a good time In a haymow thinking of the comfort my bill was to that grass-green girt—Alexander Ely. .

CODFISHING INDUSTRY.

Of all the many varieties of food fishes in the United’ States one of the most valuable, and, by long odds, the most prominent commercially is the cod. Outside of the oyster. fishery which is the most important branch of the fishing industry of our great and growing country, when the mat ters of persons engaged, vessels employed, capital invested, and value of catch are taken into consideration the taking of cod in the United States—and, indeed, for that matter in the neighboring Dominion of Canada—is far most extensile than any other fishery for fish proper. And yet but little is generally known of the codfish except that it forms one of the most, palatable dishes in the household economy. That millions of dollars are invested in this Indus try resulting in an assured income from its yearly catches of five and as high as ten millions of* dollars, and that the weight of the fish as landed from the vessels engaged in (he catch —fresh, split and salted—fcot up many millions of pounds are facts that are at once interesting and instructive. The cod fishery is prosecuted in all of the coastal states from Maine to New Jersey, being most important in Massachusetts and Maine. Gloucester and Boston are the principal fishing centers. On the Pacific coast there is a big fishery in Alaska, carried on by San Francisco vessels. Cods are taken with hand trawl lines, baited with fish, squid, etc., and fished from small boats on the vessels’ decks. The principal grounds in the Atlantic are the famous “banks” — Grand, Georges, Western, Quereau, etc. On the Pacific coast the Shumagin Islands are the chief grounds. Small quantities are taken in traps at various places along the New England shore. The status of the cod of the North Pacific ocean is somewhat uncertain. It has generally been considered identical with the Atlantic species, but its small air-bladder and other features may entitle it to recognition as a distinct species. Cod are widely distributed in the North Atlantic ocean. To the north they range far beyond the Arctic Circle, and to the south as far as Cape Hatteras, although they are not common • south of New Jersey. The cod of the North Pacific ocean is found from Bering Sea south to Oregon and Japan. The movements of cod are not well understood. They go 'in schools, but In much less dense bodies than do mackerel, herring, and menhaden, and when moving from one ground to another they are in more compact schools than when on the feeding grounds. The movements on and oft shore and from bank to bank are due to several causes, among which are the effects of water temperature, the presence or absence of food, and the spawning instinct. In the winter months there is a well-marked movement of large bodies of codfish to the shores of the New England and middle states, and important fisheries are there carried: on in regions from which cod are ab-< sent at other times. This movement; seems to be chiefly for the purpose of : finding shallow grounds for spawning That the cod sometimes makes very long journeys is shown by their capture on the New England coast with peculiar hooks in their bodies which have been identified as similar to the hooks employed by the French cod fishermen on the Grand Banks. Although sometimes found in shallow j water, cod are essentially deep-water fish, preferring water from 20 to 70 fathoms deep and being found even at a depth of 200 fathoms. Those caught for market are usually taken at depths of 20 to 40 fathoms. The cod takes its food on the bot tom, at the surface, or at intermediate points. It is an omnivorous and extremely voracious feeder, consuming all marine animals of suitable size. Favorite articles are M"’lve mollusks, crabs, lobsters, starfish and fish. Among the fish consumed in large quantities are caneiin, lant. herring, alewives, menhaden, mackerel and haddock, although many others are also eaten. The abundance and movements of such fish have an im-portant-relation to the presence and abundance of cod in a given region. The largest cod recorded from New. England waters weighed 211% pounds and was over 6 feet long; it was taken on a trawl off the northern Massachusetts coast in May, 1895. The , capture of a number, weighing from 100 to 175 pounds could be cited, but those exceeding 100 pounds in weight are by no means common, and even 75 pound cod are not numerous. The average weight of the large size cod caught In the shore waters of New England is about 35 pounds; on the Georges Bank, 25 pounds; on the Grand Banks and other eastern grounds, 20 pounds; the average weight of the smalLsize fish caught on all these grounds is about 12 pounds.
