“I was reading u New York newspa-
per the other morning," said a western
prospector who is stopping at one of
the down-town New York hotels, “of
the finding of big trout dead in a Can-
ada stream. There were no sears on
its body or signs of injury, hut when it
was out open there was found a dead
bumblebee. The theory was that the
bee had retained enough vitality after
being swallowed to inlliet a vital sting.
“Now stints must bother Canadian
trout a heap more than they do our
Rocky mountain fish for that story to
be true. Just before I came east this
trip an incident came under my notice
which that newspaper article recalls.
I was stopping1 nt the cabin of a miner
in a gorge near tho border line botwciyi
Missoula and Flathead counties. It is
a wild spot about thirty miles from
in-m t-M • *” lenient, Lit»bv*° c,*ition
on the brent Northern railroad. The
day before I came away old man Laguc
said: ‘Let’s give ther trout in ther big
Cherry one more try. Ft’s kinder hazy
en they’d ortor bite good!’
“Of course I was ready, so we sad-
dled out eayuse.s. It took us nil hour
to reach the county road to Libby, well
beaten and fairly level, and on that wt
made good time t ill we came to where
the old abandoned Thompson’s Falls
trail crosses. We turned then and
after a half hour’s rough ride, for the
undergrowth was thick and high, we
reached the bank of the Rig Cherry.
This is a main branch of Libby creek
and it is a beautiful stream. Water as
clear as crystal and cold ns Ice rolls
smoothly over the bright gravel beds
and here and there tumbles over a
steep fall or down a rocky glen. It is
only three or four rods wide and not
over live feet deep in most places, and
it is the greatest trout stream in all
the Rockies.
“Just at this place where tho old
trail crosses is a shallow ford, and be-

CIRCLING TOO NT.AH THE WATF.H.
low it a deep, dark pool, with a circu-
lar ledge of gray granite perhaps j
twenty feet high along the northern
oanlc, nearly inclosing the hole. A
point of stone jutted out over the 1
water’s edge at about the middle of
this well, and as we rode out upon the
south bank old ‘Hutch’held up *ls
naml.
“ ‘Shi* he whispered, ‘jis’ look at
them trout!*
“Sure enough! The whole pool was
alive. There was not u square yard of
its usually calm surface unbroken by
tho movements of feeding lish. They
leaped and tumbled and circled and
splashed like luirL quins. A man could
wade many a weary mile of brook in
this country and never m c so pretty a
sight as those big pink-bellied trout
were, playing in the sunlight. The
center of tho excite:..cut seemed to be
directly under a point that jutted eut
over the water and just now met with
the spray from the jumping flsh. Not
until the old man's kcciu r eyes had
spied it out and he hud pointed to it
did I notice that u huge hornets’ r.e t
as laige as a peek basket hung from
this stone point. As we drew in aror I
could see even across the creek the
swarm of busy insects coming to and
going from their round gray nest.
Every now and then a yell nvjaekot
would circle too near the water in j
crossing the creek anil an active trout !
would seize it in an instant Some- !
times two hornets would get to light- |
ing and drop • iruggling to the surface.
Half a dozen hungry pair.-* of jaws
would snap at them as they fell.
“The Hies did not resemble these in-
sects, but we each tied on two orange
duns, and with them for the next two
hours had grand ‘ port. We did not go
over a hundred yards from the ford al-
together up and down stream, hut from
under uplifted rocks, sunken tumps
and roots, dragged nearly eighty good-
sized trout, the larges’, weighing two
pounds aJid a half. Several times I
landed two together, one hooked on
tho dropper and the other on the trail
fly, and taw one > :• two in >re following
the dies when these bit. Altogether it
was tile best bit of sport 1 ever enjoyed
on any waters.
“When we got back to the cabin we
dressed some of the trout for supper,
ami every one that was opened had
dead hornets in its stomach. One Osh
must have had 40 insects in its belly
“ ‘I s’peots,’ said old Hutch, ’that
them trout gits tired cr ordinary spi-
ders rn bugs en llies jes same’> me en
you gits sick er plain venison, en they

“However that was, the trout evi-

jam wondering whether that Canadian

n sort of a dyspeptic, weak-stomnehod
lish. that couldn’t stand high-se;iM>ned

AN AIII>KNT I.oVKR OF TUK WEED.
Unless a cigar or cigarette is provided
the after-meal enjoyment is all broken
up for Lillie, and he bleats continually
until provided with a smoke.
No unlent lover of the fragrant weed
pulls at a cigar with more relish than
this goat. A complacent smile curls
his upper lip when the lighted weed is
placed in his mouth, uud the right
forefoot makes motions toward tho
whiskers as though to stroke them.
Lut Lillie is no ordinary smoker, nor
is he unskilled in the habit. He is not
only a connoisseur of the best clear
Havana goods, but is un adept at fast I
pulling and graceful manipulation of '
the weed while in his mouth. The I
smoke is never puffed out of his mouth ;
Lillio inluilow it and blows it out j
through his nostrils in grout clouds. It j
is related that he attempted to make
a smoke ring once, but in puckering up I
his lips swallowed the cigar, blaze and
all. He evidently relished the bit ns a j
dainty morsel, for since that accident I
he never takes more than one or two |
puffs at a cigar or cigarette, swallows
it down, and then blows the smoke out
of his nostrils with the case and grace
that would put to shame a two-legged
cigarette fend.
It is only of late that Lillie has taken
to the cigarette habit. It was appar-
ently with much regret that a brother
goat in an adjoining yard watched him
tackle the papers. He prefers cigars ns
a rule, however, but when nothing bet-
ter is to be hail a cigarette is welcome.
Charles Reber, the owner of the goat,
notices his growing fondness for cig-
aretts with much alarm. “With a cigar
in his mouth," remarked Mr. Reber,
“he looks like the full-grown, twelve-
year-ol 1, 100-pound goat he is; but when

Where Some of tho Finest Fish lu the
World Are Taken by the Thou-
sand* — Peculiar .Vet hod
Employed.
“If to see how the magnificent salm-
on of the Pacific coast are caught
almost takes the heart out of the man
who loves to east the fly for these
lordly fish, ho would lose it entirely
if he venture to I’ngava bay, in Upper
Canada, and see how they capture
salmon there," said a former agent of
the Hudson Lay company to u New
York Sun man.
“Tt was only a few years ago that
the possibilities of tho south coast of
Ungava bay and Hudson straits in the
way of salmon and lake trout fishing
were discovered, and to say that they
are now being worked f<»r all they arc
worth is putting it mildly. The salmon
of that high latitude are undoubtedly
the finest in the world. They are fur-
ther north than any other salmon
taken on this continent, and the lower
the temperature of the water the bet-
ter salmon are. The Restigouche, or
any of the salmon of the St. Lawrence
I basin, are far superior to the Oregon
j salmon, ami the Hudson straits salmon
; are just as much superior to the Rcsti-
gouche fish. Resides the salmon the
waters of tho Hudson strait coast teem
with a deep-sea trout which has not its
like on the face of the globe.
“Lut the method adequate for catch-
ing these fish is just as peculiar as the
fish themselves are, and it is doubtful
if salmon or trout fishing is done in the
name way elsewhere. The coast of
Hudson straits is indented by thou-
sands of small bays and estuaries, and
many rivers traverse it to the bay. At
low tide there is little water in any of
these inlets, but at high tide the water
rushes up into them for long distances.
The tides rise twenty-five and even
fifty feet. At high tide, in the salmon
and trout running seasons, these fish
follow with the water into the bays
and rivers as fast as the tide goes, and
swarm back with it when it ebbs. I
have seen the smaller rivers, streams,
or rather stream beds, one hundred feet
wide, actually choked from shore t<»
shore with the biggest salmon a man
ever saw struggling upward with the
tide.
“It is not more than eight or nine
years ago that tho first attempt was
made to establish fisheries there on a
large scale. Drawing seines was im-
possible. and the fish wheels of Oregon
were impracticable. So a simple but
exceedingly effective trap was intro-
duced. It was not original with tin
salmon fishermen, the idea being '
borrowed from the porpoise fishermen
of Hudson baja Immense nets were
made from the largest and strongest
twine, and of length and depth to suit !
the inlet to be fished. At low tide
the nets are set at the mouths of the
NO DOG IN HER HOUSE.
A Boarding-House Keeper T©11* Why She
lias Made This Itulo.
Persons with dogs und other pets j
meet with a cold and clammy reception i
in New York boarding-houses. They '
may occasionally steal into fashionable j
fiats, where the landlord or agent have
no direct means of circumventing j
them, but when it comes to the board- \
ing-house things arc a little more
definite.
A nice-looking married couple went !
into a Twenty-third street boarding- ;
house the other day and were made j
comfortable. After the first dinner, 1
says the Ilcrald of that city, the lady j
was observed scraping together some !
dainties from the board to take to her I
room. The landlady, who is a woman j
of great decision of character, heard I
of it, and her knock was shortly after- I
ward heard at the door of the new
hoarders. The latter were immediately ■
notified that either they or the dog j
must vacate at once.
“If I cannot keep my darling Xeno- j
phon, we'll move," protested tho owner
«»f the dog, who practiced the princi-
ple of “Love me, love my dog."
“Then you’ll have to move,” said the
landlady, firmly. “I’m not keeping a
dog kennel."

that dog in here without mv seeing it,”
said she, after the obnoxious Xeno-
phon had been disposed of, “is more

the pantry from the back hall. But
few steps are required to reach the
pantry from either kitchen or dining-
room, and the dresser in the kitchen is
handy to the sink. The kitchen is well
lighted, and can be kept cool in sum-

shed is also available as a summer

BRIGHT FLASH LIGHT.
Two Photographer* Surprise the Owner
of n Now .Jersey Saloon.
Fetor Murray recently refitted his
;:lloonnt 1 Si» Market street, Newark.
The walls and coiling were completely
covered with plate glass mirrors
framed in white and gold cornices.
Murray w:.s reasonably proud of his
place, and to protect the mirrors and
moldings ho had them covered with
white gauze, of the kind which is sup-
posed to ho invisible but never is.
Tho other day two itinerant photog-
raphers entered the place and offered
to take pictures of the interior. They
sh«nved excellent samples, and Murray’s
pride in his place influenced him to
give them an order. The camera was
set up, on alcohol Hash lamp was
charged with powdered magnesium,
and the customers were called upon to
look pleasant and be quiet for a
second or two. Then one of the opera-
tors raised the lamp above his head
and blew a prodigious blast of air
through it The fuming magnesium
leaped three or four feet into the air
and set fire to the mull covering of the
ceiling. The flames ran i:i every direc-
tion, fed by the highly combustible
material, and the two photographers
seized their apparatus und cm aped out
of the door.
The fames were short lived, how-
ever. und not hot enough to set tire to
nnythi: r Murray and his barkeeper
tore down the burning netting where
they could reach it und stamped out
the fames on the floor. In other
places they beat out the (lames with
towels and with their bare hands.
Smoke poured out of the three open
di-.-rs and a still alarm was sent out
over the telephone. The insurance
patrol arrived too late to do any good.
Murray told the captain that the dam-
age would in t be less than
obstruction to the water or lish as they
pass upward with the rising tide. Just
before the tide turns the liue holding
the floater side of the net to the
anchored side is drawn out. The
buoys instantly rise to the surface and
the trap is set. When the tide comes
back men are stationed above the nets
some distance, aud with poles and
brush beat the water and make noises
I of various kinds. This is to k.*.*p the
great body of fish from pressing upon
i the net at once, aud as the fish are ox-
I ceedingly timid they rush back up
stream by the thousand, anil will
! actually be left on the dry land by the
; receding tide, so panic stricken do they
become at the noise made by the men.
W hen the title has gone out. the dry
| beds of the inlets will be piled with
tons upon tons of salmon or trout. Not
salmon and trout, for both kinds are
never found in the same inlet. In one
the trap may secure fifty or one hun-
dred tons of salmon at a run, while the
next estuary below the catch will be
trout. I have seen ten thousand salm-
on taken at one haul.
“I have seen the marvelous salmon
| runs of the Oregon rivers, but they are
no comparison to the tremendous
rushes of those Hudson straits lish.
It may be that if the latter had big
fresh water rivers to explore they
would not bo massed so thickly along
the coast, but the channels they seek
! are not sufficient to let them all in. If
the salmon supply of the world else- )
where should ever become exhausted, :
it can be replaced easily by the fish of j
i those great northern waters. A thou- |
I so nil big vessels could take on cargoes j
of salmon and trout there every season !
without visibly lessening the supple."

jeeted to chemical treatment, after
which it is mixed with one-third farina

ffillic. The prince of Wales, his broth-

TJiry Are Salty But, Despite t?ie Po«*t3,
Not In the Least Bitter.
Tears have their functional duty to
accomplish, like every* other fluid of
the body, and the lachrymal gland is
not placed behind the eye simply* to fill
space or to give expression to emotion.
The chemical properties of tears consist
of phosphate of lime and soda, making
them very salty, but never bitter.
Their action on the eye is very bene-
ficial, and here consists their prescribed
duty of the body, washing thoroughly
that sensitive organ, which allows no
foreign fluid to do the same work.
Nothing cleanses the eye like a good,
salty shower bath, and medical art ha3
followed nature’s law in this respect,
advocating the invigorating solution
for any distressed condition of the
optics. Tears do not weaken the sight,
but improve it. They act as a tonic to
the muscular vision, keeping the eye
soft and limpid, and it will be noticed
that women in whose eyes sympathetic
tears gather quickly* have brighter,
tenderer orbs than others. When the
pupils are hard and cold the world at-
tributes it to one’s disposition, which is
a mere figure of speech, implying the
lack of balmy* tears that are to the
cornea what salve is to the skin or
nourishment to the blood.
The effect of tears on the skin about
the eyes, however, is intensely* irritat-
ing and inflaming. They keep the
epidermis in a dark, puffy condition,
and in legends only do weeping women
preserve the beauty of their great
white lids. The* reason some women
weep more* easily* than others, aud all
more readily than the sterner sex, has
not it.-, difference in the strength of the
tear gland, but in the possession of a
more delicate nerve* system. Th-j
nerve fibers about the glands vibrate
more easily*, causing a downpour from*
the watery sac. Men are not nearly sj
sensitive to emotion; their sympathetic
nature — the term is used in a
medical sense—is less developed, and
the eye gland is, therefore, pro-
tected from shocks. Consequently, a
man should thank the formation of hi3
nerve nature when he contemptuously
scores tears as a woman’s practice.
M hy facial distortions should be the
usual accompaniment to the sobbing of
the gentler sex there seems no satis-
factory* solution. It may be that the
nerves, which lead to the muscles a.*
wires to marionettes, twitch and pull
them in this fashion while they* are at
work emptying the tear glands of their
contents. That the copious shedding
of tears “which breaks the ice-bound
fetters of the heart” in a healthy ac-
tion all physicians assert. In some
cases it is even thought to avert insan-
ity. Even here the reason is scientific,
for it is a sign of relaxation of the
bruin nerves from a tenseness that was
congestion. Between man and monkey
there is this essential difference ol
tears. An ape cannof weep, not so
much because its emotional powers are
undeveloped as the fact that the
lachrymal gland was omitted in his
optical make-up.-—Philadelphia Times.

Three I’oisons In Tobacco.
Nicotine is not, as used p) be sun-
posed, the most dangerous principle of
tobacco, but py*rdin and collodin. Nic-
otine is the product of the cigar and
cigarette; pyridin, which is three or
four times more poisonous, comes out
of the pipe. It would be well, both for
the devotees of tol«accoand their neigh-
bors, if they took care always to have
the smoke filtered through cotton,
wool or other absorbent material be-
fore it is allowed to pass the “barrier of
tho teeth.” Smokers might also take a
lesson from the unspeakable Turk,
who never smokes a cigarette to the
end, but usually throws it away when
little more than half is finished. If
Uh "si precautions were more gener-
ally observed, we should hear much
le-s of the evil effects of smoking on
the nerves and heart, and on tho
tongue itself.
Oimrryln;* Granite hy Fire.
At Bangalore, in southern India,
granite slabs as large as 00x40 feet anil
half a foot thick are quarried by means
of wood fires. A narrow line of fire
about 7 feet long, made of light wood,
is gradually lengthened and moved
forward over an even surface of solid
ruck. It is left in position till strokes
with a hammer show that the rock in
front of the lire bus become detached
from the main mass beneath; the* burn-
ing wood is then pushed on a few
inehe ,. Th ■ rock keeps splitting about
.*■» inches below the surface. It takes
about eight hours and 1,500 weight of
wood to set free a slab measuring 740
square feet. Afterward the plate is
easily cut with blunt chisels Into strips
21. feet wide.

"Physiology,” says the British Med-
ical Journal, “so far m. it has anything
