Drunkenness Among the HindOos.

A correspondent of the London Times
writes that the spread of habits of drink
ing among the educated natives has
alarmed the orthodox and the reforming
parties of Hindoos alike. Temperance
societies and memorials to the Bengal,
Bombay, and Supreme Governments
show the earnestness of the respectable
natives of Bengal and Bombay. The
liquor duties, except beer and light
wine, which do no harm, would bear Il
considerable increase, but Government
has not taken advantage of this budget
to make any change. The Bengal Leg
islature has just passed an Act to bring
the cultivation and preparation of intox-
icating drugs, as well as the sale, under
the Board of Revenue, and to enable it
to make more stringent rules and Ii
censes. But in q country like this, ab-
stemious by creed and climate, the ma
tives call for something like a permis-
sive bill, and in the rural districts, al
least, there can be no such objections
to that here as are raised in the West.
Brandy kills off the rich absentee Hin
doc Zemindars in Calcutta at rate
which the native papers lament, while
the Mussu mans seem to prefer opium
and other drugs.

Catching Shad with Fly.

Until very recently it has been the
currently received belief that shad could
not be caught with n hook and line, and
their application to shad fishing was
looked upon as impossible. Ii has been
proved, however, that they can be taken
with hook and line if the right bait is
used, and hundreds hove so been taken
at Holyoke, Mass. Concerning the dis
coverer of the practicability OF catching
shad with hook and line, there is some
doubt, but the Springfield Union is in
clined to award the discovery to Thos.
Chalmers, Scotchman. Discovering
that shad taken contained In theirmaws
large numbers of peculiar kind OF mil
Ter, he made fly" closely resembling
it, and after repeated experiments sue
ceeded. Keeping his secret he took
more than eleven hundred shad during
1871. The secret finally leaked ont, the
Holyoke people fished extensively last
year and were remarkably successful.
The common practice is to use large
trout hook, to which the "hy" made
of feathers is attached, in the manner
familiar to all sportsmen. The line
should be about 800 feet long, the two
feet next the hook being of fine wire or
catgut. If wire is used. or if the line
is heavy, a float should be attached. The
sportsman, if he be at Holyoke, stands
on the bridge, and throwing his line
ont, let's it float along down the river.
Presently shad sees it, and jumps for
the counterfeit miller with all the avid
ity of trout, but on finding that he has
caught Tartar, dashes eff like light
ming. There is no use in stopping him
now, but give him all the line he wants,
and he will soon swallow the hook and
tire out When the fishing began the
impatient sportsmen were wont to haul
in as soon as the shad had bitten, hut
in every instance the fish's tender gills
gave way, and the shad went back into
the river with hounce. But after n
shad has been "played for minute
or so, he CAN be drawn in without diff
cnlty

Hogs Intelligence.

Hogs often show great intelligence
and aptitude to learn. A forester had
q Chinese pig, which followed him like
a deg, came at call, ran up and down
stairs and from room to room. 1t
learned to bow, and performed several
tricks. 1t was very expert in hunting
mushrooms; and, when told to keep
watch, it would remain at its post until
called away. When its owner said,
"I'm going to kill you," it would lay
down on its back and stretch out its
legs.
1t is said that when Louis XI. was
sick, every means was taken to divert
the sadness If his mind, but, do what
they would he could not be made to
laugh at length nobleman thought
of teaching pig to dance, and briug it
before his majesty.
It was not long before pig could hop
about very well at the sound of bag
pipe, they then dressed it with coat,
pantaloons, hat, sword, &c. in short,
all that the court gentlemen of the
times were accustomed to wear, and in
troduced it into the presence of the
king. The animal bowed, danced, and
followed all orders in the most artistic
manner, until, getting tired, it became
SO awkward that the king roared with
laughter, to the delight OF his courtiers
An English gentleman carefully train
ed a hog for hunting. "Slud, for SO the
hog was called, was very fond of the
chase, and was ever on the alert when
the huntsmen were preparing to start !;
but the dogs could not endure its com
pany, and their owner was never able to
make use of both at the same time
"S'ud could scent bird from great
distance, and would dig in the ground
TO show where 1t had been. Whon the
bird hoped it followed like dog.
Hogs have been trained for draught
A countrvman was in thc habit of riding
to ST. Alban's market in q small cart
drawn by four hogs; another country
man won a wager on bet that his hog
could carry him on his back four miles
in one hour. These facts are cited to
show that the hog is more intelligent
animal than we give him credit for.
However, every kind-hearted person
will disapprove of teaching dumb crea-
lures to perform t,licks..
