The Yellowstone Trout.
It is reported that the largest trout
»ver taken in Montana was captured re
cently with the rod in the upper Yellow
.tone. It weighed eight pounds nine
ounces It must have been caught below
the falls, where many of eight pounds
have been taken. In streams tributary
to the river. the same fish rarely exceed
two pounds in weight. In the lake the
average is about one pound. 1 here is
one peculiarity of the Yellowstone that
a trout of the same length taken in
Eastern waters will average about one
quarter more in weight. iound 1 he reason
for this disparity is in the
fact that the food of the t 5 ou
above the falls of the lellowstonq)
consists nri/'ffipaUy of insects and
shrimp, a d which they can secure in
abundance only dnriug a portion of the
year. Even if this food was available at
all times, it is asserted by those who pre
tend to be authoritative that adherence
to this diet is not couducive to the in
crease of size of maturo fish beyond a
Certain limit. Another peculiarity of
the Yellowstone trout is that they are
victims to a species of parasite which
renders about one in four unfit for food.
This is a white worm about the size of
a knitting needle, which is coiled directly
beneath the skin, its head projecting
through a hole in the abdominal wall
into the cavity of the body. Another
parasite, which is common to the Yel
lowstone trout, is a sort of leech, which
fastens itself to anv portion of the body,
*nd gradually undermines its strength
snd vigor. Tkf? presence or absence ol
this parasite is made quickly known tc
the angler by the fighting qualities of
the fish after being struck.—[San Fran

An Entomological Paradox.
Of all the wonderful creations of natur*
X'i'ic^cSUr ful attention the zrij little
than common
insect known as the “ vine-fretter.”
Catch one of these little mites at the
moment of its birth, this in the spring or
early summer, when they are actually
born and not batched as other insects 1
are, and put it where it has no chance of
contact with others of its species. With
in a surprisingly short period it will
give birth to others of its kind. Instant
ly isolate the new arrivals and after they
have acquired a certain growth it will be
noted that they, too, are reproducing
their kind, just as their progenitor had
done; all of which proves that these be
ings of extraordinary fecundity are real
androgynous creatures without distinc
tive sex.
During the spring and early summer,
as hinted above, all vine-fretters are vi
viparous, that is, they brin» forth their
young alive. Toward the beginning of
autumn, strange as it may seem, all is
changed, among the new, as well as the
older generations,each laving eggs which
are not hatched until the return of warm
weather the following spring. There
may be other insects equally as paradox
'cal in the manner of reproduction as
the vine-fretter, but “ye curious man ”
has not yet discovered them.—[St. Louis
Republic.

wing is thrown to catch the bite, and as
quick as a hash and before the snake can
recover, the ‘runner’ with unerring aim
sends its long bill, which is as hard as
ivory, through the head of its antagonist,
which puts in the time from thenceforth
until sunset in dying.”
A prehistoric relic of exceeding rnrity
lias been unearthed near Bluff Springs,
111., by Leslie Vail and Lew and Georgs
Conner, who were fishing in a stream
which runs through the County farm.
Projecting near the bank of tho stream
was a large bone which excited their curi
osity, and the work of unearthing it was
Boon done. It proved to be a monstrous
jawbone of a mastodon, containing four
huge teeth, weighing 103 pounds, and
measuiing 3 feet 8 inches in length by 21
inches in width. The foothills and
bluffs in the vicinity are rich with ante
diluvian relics, this being but one of sev
eral valuable finds made within the last
month.

The New York Herald of Wednes

the passengers of the steamer Alvo,
which was believed to have been lost,
have been safely landed at Mompox,

At 9:30 o’clook Tuesday evening
during the performance of “Michael
Strogoff” by the Baldwin-Melville
Company in the new opera house at
Canton, Ill., fire from fireworks used
in the fire scene ignited the scenery.
In a few minutes the entire interior

000 Tuesday through the cancellation

$20,000 to be cancelled Wednesday

the use of clearing house certificates,
tho balance being paid iu legal tender.

The village of Criglersville, on the

A dispatch of Monday night from
Marquette, Mich., says: Practically
all the men who had anything to do
with the robberry of the Mineral Range
express last Friday of $70,000 are in
jail, or under espionage and up to date
$14,000 of their booty has been recov

Monday. The exact number of men
who quit work is not at present known,
but it is large. The strike, if long ex

TRADE REVIEW.
Dun A Co.’s Report of Business for
the Post Week.
R. G. Dun & Go's, weekly review of
trade says: Returns from every part
of tho country show a decided im
provement. A hopeful feeling prevails,
money grows abundant at speculative
centers and is somewhat easier for
commercial purposes. The number of
estalishments reported as resuming
work is thirty-one wholly, and twenty
six in part, still excoodB tho number
closing, thirty-throe reducing for tho past
week, besides ten tho force
so that tho hands employed have
somewhat increased, Tho num
her unemployed iH still very largo; tho
great industries are still far below
their norruul productiveness, and part
of the resumption of work lias boon
secured by lowering prices and reduc
ing wages. But business is pulling it
self together, and even the crop report
has caused a little depression in stocks.
Tho industrial improvement is largoly
in cotton, and otherwise appears
scarcely muro satisfactory than last
week. About two-thirds of tho Fall
River mills nro operating, but at
a reduction of about 10 to 18 por
cont in wages, and there has been
a sharp cut in prices of leading cotton
goods. Several shoo factories have
started in part, but orders are said to
be not enough to keep half tho force
busy, though a distinct improvement
is noticed. In all eighteen metal works
have started in part and six wholly,
while thirteen have stopped and four
teen have reduced hands or wages.
The output of pig iron, September 1st,
proves to have been 82,002 tons week
ly, a decrease of 118,'.147 since May 1st,
indicating that only 45 per cent of
tho productive force was employed.
Hales of grey forgo for $7 at Birming
ham and of steel billots for #19.50 at
Pittsburg, support the statement that
resumption of work in many cases is
at the expense of n great sacrifice in
price. But in this industry business
revives more vigorously at tho west
than at tho east.
An obvious effect of short crops is
that railroad earning* may shrink
with a smaller demand tho coming
year for iron products and for stock*.
Abundance of money socking loans on
collaterals and call tends to render the
market indifferent to public abstention
and reduced earnings.
