Mixed Metaphor.
"Sir Arthur T. Quiller-Couch, since
he accepted the chair of English lit
erature at Cambridge, has blossomed
out as a very witty lecturer,” said a
Chicago editor,
"I attended one of Q.’s lectures the
last time I was in Cambridge. I still
remember an anecdote wherewith he
illustrated the rottenness of fancy or
hifalutin writing.
“He condemned first the fancy
phrases so common in the magazines
and popular novels—and then he said
that these phases were as absurd to
cultivated ears as the telegram that
the babu sent from Bombay to an
nounce the death of his mother.
“The babu’s telegram ran:
“ ‘I regret to announce that hand
which rocked the cradle has Kicked
the bucket.’ ”
“Robert, dear, how do you suppose
these dozens and dozens of empty
bottles ever got into our cellar?”
“Why, I don’t now my dear. 1 nev
er bought an empty bottle in my life.”

Three Hundred Barrels Caught in j
Seine—Packing 30 Barrels
a Day.
The Prince William Sound Fishing
Company have 300 barrels of herring
caught in the big company seine and
are packing, sailing and smoking
them at the rate of 30 barrels a day.
It takes 380 herring to fill a barrel,
as the fish are exceptionally large.
Captain Cann will take a number
of extra men with him to the fish
camp, as he is short of help. The big
power boat recently purchased by the
company is expected soon. The boat
is being brought from Ketchikan to
Valdez under her own power.
