Incident Proves That Belief of Some
Fishermen Is Wrong.
Fishing a well known rivor In Nor-
way this June one of the tenants of
the fishing lodge opposite ours caught
a fish of 2!t pounds In the morning and
lost another his spinning line being
broken by the rush of a heavy fish.
Fishing with prawn the afternoon of
the same day the same angler In the
same pool got Into a good fish at his
first cast. After a long flht the flsh
was gaffed and landed. Then was re-
vealed a strange state of things. The
prawn taeklo had never touched the
fish; In fact the hooka were a foot or
more from It. They had caught In the
cast which had been lost that morn-
ing and was now twisted Into knots
and tangles no doubt by the salmon
endeavoring to get rid of the treble
Norsk cast and hooks. The line bad
been got rid of. As the prawn swung
down the pool It had grappled the lost
cast still attached to the salmon and
fish (33 pounds) cast and tackle were
recovered. We watched the Incident
from tho road and crossing the river
handled tho recovered cast. Many
maintain that salmon once hooked and
played for any length of time leave the
pool. W II. In Loudon Fold.

The Prolific Queen Bee.
The queen bee is a great antagon
1st of race suicide. She strives to
perpetuate the race with an ardor and
an understanding that Is worthy of the
highest commendation. Some have
been known to lay 4.000 eggs a day for
a year the number lessening after
that to 1200 and going forward at
that ratio for another two years.
With iiu.OOO bees to tho colony that
single praiseworthy queen laid enough
eggs to establish 4ti colonies. Bee
keepers figures on a net' income of
three dollars a colony each year. If
the owners of the bee under discus-
sion profited from her labors to that
extent the gain was $148. It Is not
to be presumed that any such results
were obtained. To argue so much in
favor of one bee would be to place
belief In the statement that a man
with ten acres of ground and two rab-
bits can become a millionaire in three
years selling rabbit skins to glove
manufacturers. Technical World.

madam ?"
"Indeed he Is." replied the fond
mother. "And I do want to please him
so!"
"What age Is he. madam?" the clerk
Inquired.
"lie will be just Hi."
A triumphant smile illumined the
visage of the salesman.
"Then madam give hini this." he
said.
And he laid before the woman a
magnificent case of crimson Russia
leather containing a horse-hide strop
and a dor.cn exquisitely fine razors.
And They Were All Happy.
A boy in the California State School
for Dependent Children wrote his fa
thrr thus: "Iear 1'apa: We children
are having a good time here now.
Mr. Sager broke his leg and can'l
work. We went on a picnic and it
rained and we all got wet. Many chil
dren here are stick with mumps. Mr
Hlggins fell off the wagon and broke
his Hb but he can work a little. The
man that Is digging the deep well
whipped ns boys with a buggy whip
because we threw sand in his machine
and made black and blue marks on us
Ernest cut his Cnger badly. We are
all very happy"
When the "Wreng Lady" Came.
Some young Idlers bad been enjoy
ing the fan of hailing passing shop
girls with rather doubtful eorapli
nients and from some of the answers
returned it was evident that not all
of those addressed were taking things
kindly. Presently one of tbe older
boys seeing It was going too far
spoke up. ' Iok a' here now. fel-
lers" he added "youse might think
youse is wise guys an' au t-.i but
just keep on and the wrong lady'll
come along an' she'll break yer face

It Is the Event Near at Hand That
Counts Most In Everything.
The ueath of hundreds of people In
a distant part of the country from
where we live hardly arouses more
than passing Interest and the more or
less sudden taking away of thousands
of lives In some far remote land
evokes no more than a word of sym-
pathy from those a long distance
away. But the single death near at
hand the funeral across tho street
makes the strongest possible mark on
the mind.
Propinquity in that as in everything
else Is what counts. The death in the
family cuts Into the heart for years.
If accompanied by details that make it
a horror tho shock often remains with
the survivors to the end of their own
lives. If tbe lost relative has met a
violent death by accident or other-
wise the anguish of those left behind
is all the more poignant and endur-
ing. Worst of all and most lasting in
Us effect upon the survivors Is the
death where unexpected financial dis-
tress or ruin follows the loss of tbe
family head. It Is a wretched home
circle for many a year when the chief
is taken away leaving only debts
with no property not even a little in-
surance policy behind.
PRICE OF LAMARTINE'S POEM.
Pecuniary jlue Which the French
Poet Put Upon His Work.
The Paris Caulols tells a good story
of Lamartine's estimate of tho pe-
cuniary value of his poetry.
It was in ISIS when he was at the
acme of his glory and a cabinet min-
ister. Ho had just contributed "La
Marseillaise de la Pais" to the Revue
des Deux Mondes and Buloz the
editor called on him at tho ministry.
"I believe I owe you 80. Here !- the
money" said Lamartine producing
a bundle of bauknot.9.
"Pray deduct the amount of the
Kcvue's Indebtedness to you for your
poem" said the editor.
"I meant to make you a present of
it" rejoined the poet.
"Not at all; I insist upon paying
you."
"How much?"
"Your own price whatever It may
be."
"Ah well; if you will have it so I
must oblige you" said Lamartine; and
with a magnificent gesture he swept
up the whole bundle ot notes repre-
senting the 80 and restored them
with solemn dignity to bis pocket.
Royal Chickens of Japan.
"The most beautiful and extraor-
dinary chickens in the world are those
bred by the royal family of Japan the
privilege of raising them not being
accorded to any of the Mikado's sub-
jects" said Mr. L. J. De Courcey of
Yokohama. "These chickens are cele-
brated for the wonderful growth of
their tall feathers n full grown roos-
ter's tall often reaching a length of
20 feet. The tail Is of a lovely deep
blue shade while the body is buff and
about tlie neck is a white ring. A pair
of these chickens has been known to
sell to a weallhy Englishman for
$1000 on condition that he would take
them out of the country.
"I believe that ere long the species
will entirely disappear as 1 heard be-
fore leaving Japan that It was the in-
tention of bis majesty to cease their
breeding."
Hay on Church Floor.
A curious custom was observed at
Old N'eston church on Sunday. The
church is dedicated to St. Swithin
and on festival day the church Is
strewn with hay. Many years ago
some donor left a field to provide
money for bread which is distributed
four times a year. The tenant of the
field has to supply the hay to strew
the church. The custom is supposed
to have originated from the fact that
mi festival Sunday the parishioners
wear new boots and the idea of the
donor was to have the hay laid down
to stop the squeaking incidental to new
footwear. On Sunday the hay was
duly laid down in the church. London
Standard.
Gave Names to Diseases.
Plie naming of a disease after the
doctor who described and prescribed
for It. as was done with Plight's dis
ease is no new thing. The chapel
near I'ini. which was dedicated 'o St.
Vitus was the object of an annual pil
grimage of people afflicted with the
nervous affection which from this fact
acquired the name of St. Vitus' dance.
Except for this accident the name of
Vitus would probably have passed into
oblivion for we know little of him be-
yond the fact that he was a Sicilian
who suffered martyrdom under Dio
cletian.
Splitting One at a Time.
"Gracious Nora!" called the house
wife impatiently. "Isn't dinner nearly
ready?"
'No uium" responded Nora through
tba speaking tube "awn it won't be
ready for two hours yet."
"Two hours! Why what in the
world is the cause of the delay?"
"Why mum you said you wanted

rue two hours awn twlnty minutes to

Have Important Part in the Annals of
the World.
Tbe ring began when man tbrust
his finger through a hole In a pretty
shell and later learned to make rings
of jet. The ring Is very magical.
Lord Ituthven who helped to kill Kiz-
zio gave Queen Mary a ring which
was "sovran" against poison and she
generously replied with the present of
her father's wonderful jeweled dagger
of French work no longer In exist-
ence. Whether RuUiven tooled with
this magnificent weapon in the affair
of Rizzlo or used a cheaper article Is
uncertain. At all events Mary based
on the ring that was an antidote to
poison a charge of sorcery against
Ruthven. The judges of Jeanne d'Arc
regarded with much suspicion her lit-
tle ring of base metal a gift from her
parents inscribed with the sacred
names Jesus Maria.
It was usual to touch the relics of
saints with rings; Jeanne d'Arc said
that her ring had touched the body of
St. Catherine whether she meant of
the actual saint or a relic of the saint
brought from Sinai to Fierbois. The
ring might contain a relic or later a
miniature. I fear that I do not believe
In the virtues or vices of poison rings.
Our ancestors practically knew no poi-
son but arsenic and Carthaginian
science can scarcely have enabled
Hannibal to poison himself with a
drug contained under the stone of a
ring. Andrew Lang in London Post.
ALWAYS THE SAME ANSWER.
Little Bride Simply Made Trouble by
Asking Useless Question.
It was a very warm night and peo-
ple in the boarding bouse had left
their bedroom doors slightly ajar.
Thus any conversation of persons who
were so indiscreet as to forget the
fact was distinctly heard down the
hall and that accounts for several
persons knowing that the little bride
who is not more than 20 years old
said to her equally youthful husband:
"Are you telling me the truth?" Itij
answer was not heard but it failed to
be convincing evidently for the little
bride repeated the questio.i even unto
the third time and at the last her
voice by no means expressed convic-
tion. And then those who were older in
worldly wisdom pondered and com-
mented. Because they said that of all use-
less things it was for a woman to
ask her husband if he were telling the
truth. Even If he were not and knew
that his wife knew that he was not
ho would still declare that he was. It
is not in masculine nature to go back
on such a statement once it Is made
said the experienced and so the little
bride was simply making trouble for
(hem both.
Dissecting a Violin.
Not one person in a hundred has the
slightest notion of how many parts or
pieces there are in a violin. Here is a

ings 12 bar 1 purflings 24 neck 1

69 pieces. Three kinds of wood are
used-maple pine and ebony. Maple
Is used for the back the neck the
side pieces and the bridge. Pine is
used for the belly the bar the coins
and blocks the side linings and the
sound post: Ebony is used for the
finger board the tailboard the nut the
guard for string of tailboard the
pegs and the button.
Comparatively Young.
When John Goodnow was consul
general at Shanghai. China he was an
ardent collector of antique brasses
and having acquired a great many
was inordinately fond of showing them
off particularly a small Buddha
studded with uncut turquoises and
garnets. One day he Invited a number
of Chinese connoisseurs to see his col-
lection and upon their departure Dr.
Barchet the official interpreter over-
heard one of them remark in Chinese:
"I heard this Goodnow had some pret-
ty good brasses w hy he hasn't got a
piece that's more than 1000 years
old!"
Rustic Chivalry.
An attractive young miss of ten
years got on a Washington street car
that was pretty well crowded. Just
inside the door she encountered a lsd
of about the same age as herself and
this polite youngster Immediately of-
fered the girl his seat.
Just as quickly the little girl put up
her hand to check his movements. "I'm
ever so much obliged to you" she
whispered "but you oughn't to offer
your seat till you're ready to get off
because people might think you're
from the country." Harper's Weekly.
: Obeying the Impulse.
Slowly almost reverentially the
young clergyman who was taking his
first trip across the Atlantic bowed
his head over the vessel's rail.
"I'm doing this" he muttered with
pal lips "in response to an Inward
prompting."
Thereupon the others drew away in
rilence and left him communing with
the great deep.

South Carolina Cure for Fleas.
Go to the woods cut a medium-
sized sapling peel the bark off and
lay the sapling where the fleas abound
in hog bed or stable. The fleas will
jump on the white wood and be bo
busy with the sap or moisture that the
sapling can be taken up carried away
and dropped with its full passenger
list of fleas. The operation may be
repeated until all the fleas are carried
off. That is tho plan of a great cy-
press brother in black. Barnwell (S.

Death by Lightning.
The supreme deity in the Greek and
Roman religions Zeus or Jupiter was
supposed to bo the manipulator of the
lightning and the person struck down
by one of the fiery bolts was especial-
ly distinguished inasmuch as he had
been felled directly by the king of the
gods. Tho dignity of the killer was
reflected upon tho killed. In addition
to this the opinion was quite universal
that the bodies of those -tick by
lightning were Incorruptible. New-
York American.
A Sweet Nature Fake.
Failing to bile sugar from several

pump water from their crops when
they sucked up the syrup so formed.

Wise and Foolish Widows.
They tell of a woman in Ooolidge

herself nice clothes and now has an-
other husband paying for her coal

Inchcape Rock.
Inchcape rock Is east of the Isle of
May 12 miles from all land in the
German sea. This is the rock that fig-
ures in the story of Ralph the Rover
who Is supposed to have cut the bell
from the buoy in a mischievous spirit
and later been wrecked on the rock
as a result of his own work.
Riches and Arroganc.
Nothing is more hateful to a poor
man than the purse-proud arrogance
uf the rich but let the poor man be-
come rich and he runs at once into
the vice against which he so feelingly
declaimed. There are strange contra-
dictions in human character. Richard
