The getteral and greatly increased fa- vor with which caviare is received has caused a great drain upon the sturgeon fisheries Europe, and those of Console, aud the United States NINO 1.)Q011 ettlied upon to meet the demand. The Lake of the Woods has a total area of 6,000 square miles and 'its waters abound with Oslo the most important of which is the sturgeon. They are caught mainly for the ea - \lore, though there is a profit in =eking the Meat. Atter the !Isla is killed. it is carefully cleaned and the caviare set aside in tanks. It is then taken and washed repeatedly un- til it is thoroughly cleansed, after which IL is rubbed by hand through a series of screens until the eggs are separated. It is then packed in kegs with salt and kept In cold storage until time of shipment. It is an ex- tremely simple process, requiring but little manipulation. In EurOpe the kegs are opened and the caviare sort- ed out. accorditig to quality. It -is then put up ia small lead packages and tins and put on the market as Russian caviare. The best grades find a ready Sale at highest prices, but the inferior grade comes back to America. . The price paid for caviare has been steadily increasing each year. In 1808 it was sold at 60 and. 70 cents a pound, and this year there is a small increase. Five years ago the price was only 35 cents a pound. The caviare were then double the val- ue nf the sturgeon, and as the fish brings to the fishermen about two cents more than the ordinary scale hsh, its value to the inhabitants of the lake section of Algoma cannot be overestimated- It is, in fact the most Important factor in the pros- perity of the district. In 1.808 the Lake of .the‘ Woods produced 224,870 pounds of caviare, approximately valued at 325,000. ' The high prices commanded by ca- viare have attracted many fishermen to these Canadian. waters, and unless measures are taken to reduce the take of the sturgeon the nsh will be exterminated to the near future. The American waters aee alio being ex- tensively dragged for sturgeon, .and• last year 3.9,000, pounds of, caviare were glippect out of tbe' United Stales. Within the past two years there has .been a very large catch in. set nets. and pounds off :the beaches of New Jersey and Long Island, and the handling of the eggs has proved a most profitable industry to the fishermen. The only advantage of sturgeon eggs in the, making of ca- viare is found in their size and firm- ness.

Tame NAN mix° WAS ROBBED. -••Or A Pablo With a Moral That There is No Disputing. A stranger in it strange land once fell in with thieves, who found lihn on a lonely road, beat hino robbed him, and then tied him to a tree. After a long wait auother travel- ler came I.)y, mai the Stranger hi a weak voice, pleaded for help. Ee told the story of ids wrongs, and the traveller said, "How sad 1" "I cried out, but my Oleic° is not roug and my cries were of no said the victim. "How unfortunate 1" said the traveller. "And the robbers tied me so that I am utterly helpless." "How interesting 1" "Interesting ? Do you. thiek it interesting to have been beaten and robbed ? Why. the thieves took all my money except a small sum in my inside pocket." "How careless i" commented the traveller. Then, having satisfien himself that the stranger's story was true, that he was really tied securely, that his voice was weak, anct that there 'was a small sum 'in an inside pocket, he secured the small sum and went on is way.

It is an age of short cuts, and even literary men find it more • proe, fitable to dictate than to write their copy. One of the most suc- ceed -al of modern newspaper pro- prietors confessed the other day that he had not written a letter for seven years, although his privaLe Correspondence amounted to more than fifty letters dairy. Cabinet mieisters alone seem to cling to the old tradition. Lord Salisbury alMors, a typewritten let- ter, and Mr. Arthur Balfour :wtitesJ. large part of his correspondence inue self.
