Surprises. £ mao <3 img the Last Tem Years— Foreigners in, the Sere The census report fori 1900 .of the great lakes fisheries is expected to contain surprises.in respect to the extension: of the fisheries during the last ten years: in the great lakes of Superior, ‘Michigan, ‘Huron, Erie jand . Ontario. From 1880 to 1890 the number of fighpermen; actually engaged in. these waters increased 53 per cent. The capital . invested during ‘the same period increaged>.110. per. cent.,,and the ffsh taken increased from 68,000,000 to 118,000,000 pounds, or 70 per cent. Lake Ontario was the only one to show a loss. In fact, the great lakes fisheries are now the fisheries of the’great lakes to the west ‘of Buffalo; and’ Lake Ontario is no longer a factor in the matter. . Since 1890 the increase in the number of fishermen, in capital invested in these fisheries aiid in the amount of fish taken has shown a ratio even larger than prior to 1890, and it is for this eames are expected in the next national census. Very few persons have any very clear idéa of the wonderful productiveness in fish of the waters of the great lakes. An estimate based on the known production showed that in the decade terminating with the census of 1890 1,000,000,000 pounds of fish were taken, which yielded. the fishermen $25,000,000. In 1890 6,996 persons were engaged in, the capture of fish in the great lakes. These employed 107 steamars, valued at $350,000, and 3,876 vessels and boats, worth $325,000. The apparatus used consisted of 3,800.pounds net and trap nets, the value of which was $825,000; gill-nets to the value of $400,000; 176 seines .and .other apparatus. The capital invested in shore ,property.directly connected with the fisheries was ‘nearly $1,000,000. These items give, as the total investment in fishing property, about $3,000,000. The quantity of fish taken was 118,000,000 pounds, the value of which at wholesale was $2,615,784, and at retail probably $5,000,000. — One curious reason given to account for the increase of the lake fisheries is the advent, especially in the more western lakes, of many immigrants from the fishing and maritime countries of Europe, particularly Norway, Sweden, Germany, Denmark and Finland. ‘The Scandinavians and natives of the Baltic provinces of Germany, as is well known, are excellent fishermen, and many of these Scandinavians and Germans, after coming to the United States; have taken up here the same avocations as they pursued in their own countries, with the result that there is near-each of the great lakes what may be called a fisherman population, just as the enormous fisheries of Canada are largely in the control of the descendants’ of two classes of emigrants—the Bretons from France and the Scotch and north of Ireland fishermen. In similar fashion much of the extensive fishery business of the Pacific slope is in the hands of Scandinavian or Portuguese fishermen, and New Bedford, Mass., still the headquarters of what remains of the once-celebrated and lucrative whale fisheries, has ‘still a considerable local Portuguese population devoted to the pbusiness of whaling. Two-thirds of the catch of the fisheries of the great lakes is made up of four kinds of fish—herring, trout, whitefish and sturgeon. The catch of lake trout, which is one of the most important and _ highly-esteemed fishes of the great lakes, increased from 4,397,031 pounds, or 65 per cent., from 1889 to 1890, It is most abundant in Lake Michigan. Next to and most profitable catch in the great lakes.—N. Y. Sun. _ & Wide-Awake Empress. Few people are aware that the dowager empress of Russia saved her husband’s life on two-oeeasions. One day, when in the emperor’s dressing-room, she observed that on his dressing table lay a curious-looking little jewel case. Something about its appearance aroused her curiosity, and, taking it up, she noted that it was extremely heavy. Without saying a word, she went into her room and placed it carefully in a ‘basin of water. Sending for the prefect about the palace, she begged him to examine the box, and it was discovered to be one of the most marvelous infernal machines ever invented. The second oceasion on which the empress was directly instrumental in averting. the murder of her husband, occurred in the Winter palace, where she heard a slight noise, which indicated the presence of some stranger in the czar’s study. Without betraying the slightest anxiety she asked her husband to come and speak to one of the children. He did so, and then she promptly locked the door, and only gave up the key to a party of soldiers, who found, when they had entered the room, that some one had just escaped from the window.— Golden Days. ’ ty Discouraged Him. “My love for you can never die!” he d passionately. — 2 Saas be you know?” she asked in leulating way that we asaga < tions in higher Consus of 1900 Expected to Furnish Great Incrense in the Industry Durs. . reason that some important surprises . herring whitefish is the most abundant . : 4A NOT WORTH HEARING. : dé \Z Bty; TH 4 « ’ “ir vi He—Now, rémember, Miss Kitty; what I am going to tell you is a secret, and you must keep it.
