Transportation of Frozen Fish.
John Wallace, a prominent fish
shipper at Kulauiri, Washington, gives,
in lee and llefriiTer.itioii, some inter
esting faet i in relation to the rail ship
ment of frozen liab, which intiy be of
general value. As our renders well
know, a large quantity of frozen sulinoii
ttntla its way from the free::iut: plant
at the fisheries to the i'ust. Iu ship
ping the trad recognizes; the fact thut
lish frozen aolid ill in part refrigerate
themselves. They therefore pack them
tightly in boxes utid loud into refri
gerator ears. Those ears are llr.st re
duced to as low a temperature an
practicable, and then the floor is cov
ered v.'ith nevera! luetics of chilled saw
dust. The boxes of fish arethen loaded
iu, leaving a apace of Kcveral inches
between the Hides, ends and top of tlie
car, which also is filled with cold saw
dust. Then the enr is closed and Healed.
No iee is placed in tho tanks of the
car, but it nns been found by tpiitu
extensive experience thuttlshso packed
for shipment reach their destination in
perfect condition in reasonably warm
weather without ieo, and that, too,
after passage of fifteen to eighteen
days. The saving effected is tbe first
cost of the iee ; then cost of freight on
the ioe, and also a gain of 1500 pounds
of fish in lieu of that much weight of
ice, which by the practice of the
Northern PaoiBo road is allowed free.

the dark (l.-ij-s of tbe war, tho atrutrgles with
poverty at the honrthsido, equalled only by
those other st raggh1 where cannon roared,
hud sharpened thu wits und qulckene.l the
wills of the women of Moore' lull. In '(15
with them to hear was to think, to think was
to a t : and the llrst customer bad s-nrcely
entered Moore's Hill's new saloon Isdoro tho
door was darkened by a woman's llk'urc.
Mm was the spoki-suian for her ni'lghlsirt
come to buy out the shop, and in her hand
she held the purchase money.
"Hut 1 ain't hero to sell out. I've cot to
make a living, and I'm Kolngto make it. I've
got as much right in Moore's Hill ns you
have, nnd money won't make m ;et out."
Thus spoke the kis-per. If the potency of
money had failed lo oust him, one would
ohcudo that the attempt was over. Hy no
menus! A private tmsitlni; was held, wliera
was evolved thu most novel method of war
fare ever waged by woman against man.
Next morning, before tho astonished I ar
keeper could Interpose, n o solemn-
faced, determined women passed through th
door of tho saloon, nnd having arranged
themselves deliberately alxiut tha room,
drew out their work lngs, and ndjustisl their
sewing caps. A customer now an then strag
gled in at the door. Ho glanced sheepishly
along the walls ut the awful sight that stared
him in tint fni'ii, fumbled out a few remarks
about the weather, the crops, and darted out
Into the fresh air. The village doctor pis-red
through the disir, and fled over the hills so
fast that, tradition says, the boys might havu
Jilayisl uinis-iiitis upon his coat Wills. Thus
t went rather, one should say, thus went
the customers. At msm not u dram of liquor
bud been sold. The women had determined
to knit the saloon out of town ! Twelve
brought a fresh relay of knitting
women, but tho saloon keeper, poor mini,
had no relief force, and hn stood at his post
all day long. uuaHsisteil. At sis in the even

again ; nnd tho next morning the keeper saw
once more his friends of the afternoon. Twice
he tried to smoke his unwelcome visitors
away, thrlcn ho tried to lock them in ; but ho
always failed. For days the utnximl conllict
raged. Meantime, no customer dared run
the gauntlet j business was at a standstill.
The needle flew unceasingly thu Woolen
