Abon "Bill" Bryan, may his tribe decrease, Awoke one night from a deep dream of peace, And seated in the moon-ligbt in his room, Making it bright and silverlike in gloom, He saw an angel writing in a book of gold. Exceeding "gall" had made "Bill" Bryan bold And to the presence in his room he said, "What writest thou?" the vision raised its head, And with a look of what he might expect. Answered their names who'll get it in the neck," 'And am I one?" asked Abou, "I don't know," Replied the Angel. Abou spake more low But cheerily still and said, "1 pray you sir "Write me as one not liable to err." The angel wrote and vanished. The next night It came again in all the white November light, And showed the names of those knocked ' gaily west," And 10, "Bill" Bryan's name led all the rest. Advocate. PERSONAL GOSSIP.

STRIPPING SALMON CF THEIR EGGS AT FISH HATCHERIES. After tlx* Operation tlie IIIk Fifth Are Placed l!n<»k In the Witter None the Worm* For Their Kxpcrlenre Oat of Their Xntnrnl Element. There are two methods which are employed by fish cultnrists to propagate food and game fish. One is to catch the yonng fish, the fry. and transport them to other waters where it is desired to introduce them. The other is to strip the female fish of her eggs and to im pregnate them artificially. All the attempts that have been made to propagate black bass by stripping the female of their eggs have been fail ures so far, and the only method that can be applied to them is to catch the fry and nnjse them till they are strong enough to fce liberated. Other fish, nota bly the shad and the salmon, are readi ly stripped, and the resnlts are wonder ful, as the percentage of eggs that fail to hatch is exceedingly small. Were either fry or eggs left to nature only an excessively small proportion would grow into adult fishhood. Apart from those which would die naturally a tremendous quantity would fall prey to the host of enemies—insects, crustacea, fish, birds and mammals—that is wait ing for the spawn or the tiny fish. Any one who has handled fish freshly caught knows how delicate they appear to be and how quickly they die after leaving the water. Yet the experts in the service of the various state and of the United States fish commissions han dle millions of the most sensitive food and game fish every year, and few of them die from the process. The process of handling a female salm - on that is heavy with spawn which it is desired to take from her is a decided ly interesting and extremely simple one and may be explained so as to be read ily understood. First the fish are led to swim into a confined space where they can be reached with the landing net. The manipulation of this dip net alone requires no mean skill. It must not bruise the floundering fish and must lift the creature in such a way that it does not scrape the scales from its sides as it struggles. Wherever a scale is torn from a fish, particularly in fresh water, fungus is almost certain to form, and that is generally fatal. After the fish is in the net the latter is lifted carefully, and the operator's hand slides downward, gently but firm ly, till it grasps the body immediately above the tail. Then he draws the fish from the net and holds it head down ward. That serves to show at once whether the fish is "ripe"—that is, whether the eggs have reached that stage of development which permits of stripping. If the fish is perfectly ripe, the eggs sink toward the head. If the fish is found satisfactory, the operator i>laces a pan between his legs and holds the fish firmly in his arm. With the right hand he encircles the salmon just back of the gills and, squeezing the fish gently, slides the hand down toward the tail, when the eggs spout into the pan. They are hard then and rattle into the receptacle like peas. Later, after they have been in the hatching frames for a time, they get larger and softer, having absorbed much water. After the eggs have been drawn from the female fish she is placed back into the water, none the worse for her trials. Then the milt from a ripe male fish is pressed into the pan in the same way, and the impregnated eggs are ready to be hatched. Under favorable conditions 90 days is the period of incubation for the grand landlocked salmon, one of the finest game fishes in the world and hardly in ferior to any as a good fish. The first Bign of life in the eggs is the formation of a little clot, generally red or pink, which increases with remarkable rapid ity, until in a few days the complete form of a little fish is plain to the eye. But it is rather a hideous little mon ster that wriggles out of the egg finally. It resembles a fish only because it wriggles and moves like one. Otherwise it looks more like a fevered dream after too much broiled lobster or Welsh rab bit. It is a transparent body, with a globular swelling where its fine, fishlike lines ought to be, and its eyes are im mense goggles. Then the fish wise men watch the things most carefully. This is a critical period of the young things' growth, and a fall or a rise of a degree in the temperature of the water may mean death to millions of salmon. Generally men remain on guard night and day in the big hatcheries to watch their charges at this time. If they pull through, it is beautiful to see the suc cessive changes as tho tiny swimmers cast off their hideous appendages and turn into dainty, slender, silvery crea tures that dart through the water like bubbles of air and form in thick swarms in the corners of the tanks, where they hang like bees.—New York Press.
