The Spaniards were not the only race to visualize the .New world as a wonderland of rich mines and beautl* fill cities. Throughout the Sixteenth and for the first half of the Seven teenth centuries adventurers of various races were fully as credulous. As early as 1700 the belief that the continent was peopled by the descend* ants of the lost tribes Israel was asserted. Then there was Nonimbega, as the Penobscot river In Maine was called. This name also Included the mythical kingdom extending from the coast to the head of Penobscot, with the fabu- |s city of Nonimbega located \\here y now stands. Dwarfs and giants lived \here in much splendor, and Champlain went to investigate and found the Abnakl wigwams. All these various yams fell in nicely wltli John Law’s scheme, popularly known as “the Mississippi company." , In the literature and maps booming that enterprise Louisiana was repre sented as being embarrassingly crowd ed with rich mines. Mountains of gold and cities of won drous loveliness, pearls and precious stones—all these were ever Just over the horizon. Not until after the Prench-Indian war did the people fully realize that their gold must be won from prairies and the forest, and their cities be built by their own hands.— Adventure ^Magazine.

It is not generally known that the luilians c>f British Columbia and Alas ka obtain their butter from a fish known to scientists as the ooiichan. It Is from six to eight inches long and very fat. Every Summer tliis fish comes from •( the o<*ean up the rivers to spawn, like salmon. bullions are taken in nets. Firsst tliey are thrown into rough bins made of cedar logs, where they lie for a few days to soften in the sun. Then they are placed in great cedar vats of boiling water, the latter being heated by hot stones which are dropped Into them. This primitive method of heating has been found to produce bet* ter butter than when the flsh are boiled <i. in the more orthodox fashion. As the oil rises to the top It Is skimmed off. It hardens quickly and has the appearance of lard. Beauti fully white, It is not easy to detect it from butter, there being not the slight est odor of fish about It. The Indians pack it in water-tight cedar b' ?: '\ making enough of this fish butter ' i: - Ing the summer months to last them throughout the year.

A prominent Clevelander, reports the Plain Dealer, of that city, was awakened in the night by mysterious noises from the lower floor and going down found a fellow filling his pocke with the silver on tiie sideboard. The Cleveland man leaped on the burglar and speedily reduced him to the “got enough” stage. Then he let the man up and asked him what he meant by adopting such a disreputable profession. The fellow pleaded his youth and drink and bad company, and claimed it was his very first offense. Whereupon, the householder, after exacting a promise from the prowler that lie would give up his nefarious calling, opened tlie door and let him go. “Perhaps that part of the adventure was all right,” said the Cleveland man, “but, confound the fellow. I for got all about making him take my silver out of his pockets.” And for years that story clung to him.
