An AffectiOnate SALMON.

The love affairs of the fishes are not,
as rule, of much concern to gentlemen
of the line and rod. But a fisherman +"
gives an account in the London Land
and Water of tussle with Tweed
salmon containing an incident of aim st
pathetic interest. He had succeeded
in hooking a salmon whose size made
it a difficult prize to land This fish,
like Barry CORVALLIS owl, had mate
that was fond and bold,' and she had
come with him on a wedding tour from
the sea, and did not desert him in the
hour of need While the fisherman
tried to draw her husband to the land
she not only swan by his side, but
thrice she jumped high out Of the water
in the attempt to fall upon and break
the line. She did not succeed, however,
in effecting the rescue; and half an
hour later she herself fell victim to
the fishers skill. She was a bright,
comely fish, and weighed twenty-five e
pounds.

One of the dangers to which the travel
Ter on the Western plains is liable is
terrific rain storms. So severe are
these storms, and SO large is the quantity
of water that falls in a single hour, that
they are generally named waterspouts.
The rain does not fall in drops, but in
streams, which are turned by the winds
into waves or cascades. The sloping
ground, formed of thick mat of short
sward. sheds the water into depressions,
scarcely noticeable in dry weather In
q few minutes these are changed into
roaring torrents, and hurl their water
into ravines, which, ordinarily dry, be-
come impossible rivers. The valleys,
though a mile or more in width, are
flooded to the depth of many feet.
Hall often accompanies these storms,
falling in the form of huge rounded
Jumps Or shapeless chunks of ice. Men
are badly beaten, and the animals are
not only injured, but made frantic by
the pounding. If a storm overtakes q
party on the march-and sometimes
they come as thunder from clear
sky "-thesonly thing to be done is to
unhitch the animals and get to cover.
If no cover is near, the animals are Sc
curely fastened to the wagons, in or
under which the men get, and, amid
the plunging, braying, and neighing of
the mules and horses, wait patiently for
the subsistence of the storm, hoping
that the flood will roll away before it
rises high enough to flood their i'm
prOmptu camp.

How Gas was First Used.

Great was the amaZement of all Eng
land when, at the close of the last cen
fury, William Murdoch discovered the
use of combustible air, or gas. So little
was the invention understood and be-
lieved In by those who had not seen it
III use, that even great and wise men
laughed at the idea. Glow could there
be light without wick?" said mem
Der Of parliament when the subject
was brought before the house. Even
Sir Humphrey Davy ridiculed the idea
of lighting towns by gas, and asked
one of the proprietors if they meant to
take the dome of St. Paul's for gas
meter. Sir Walter Scott, too, made
himself merry over the idea of illu-
minating London by smoke, though he
was glad enough, not so long after, to
make his own house at Abbotsford light
and cheerful on wintry nights by the
use Of that very smoke. When the
House of Commons was lighted by gas
the architect imagined that the gas ran
on fire through the pipes, and therefore
he insisted on their being placed several
inches from the wall, for fear of the
building taking fire. The members
might be observed carefully touching
the pipes with their gloved hands, and
wondering why they did not feel warm
The first shop lighted in London by
the new method was Mr.. Ackcrman's,
in the Strand, in 1910; and one lady of
rank was SO delighted with the brilliancy
of the gas lamp on the counter that she
asked to be allowed to take it home in
her carriage.

The Secret Of an old Cellar.

New must in an old cellar is as treach-
erous as new wine in an old bottle.
Three weeks ago, two travellers, who
were breakfasting in an inn at Little
Corcelles, near Paris, called for a bottle
of wine, and the innkeeper sent a ser
want into the cellar to fetch it. After
waiting a long time for the girl to return,
the houskeeper went down stairs to find
out what was the matter. She likewise
failed to return with the wine, and as
the travellers were now impatient the
innkeeper himself made the descent
into the cellar-but was not seen again
One of the travellers rose from the break
fast table in alaNn, and ran down the
cellar to, ascertain what had happened
and his companion waited in vain for
his temperance. There was now only
one man in the tavern, and he was too
wise to vanish from the scene as abrupt
ly as the rest had done He ran into
the street and called in the neighbors.
One Of these, a physician, ventllred as
far as the door Of the cellar, and pushed
it open SO as ogive egress to the noxious
gases imprisoned there. After the Gel
lar had been partially ventilated the
neighbors found on the floor the bodies
OF the four persons who had disappeared
so mysteriously. Three of them were
restored to consciousness, but the girl,
who had led the way, died On the
previous evening the inkeeper had left
vat Of must in the cellar, and the car
bonic acid gas emitted from the fer
mentlng liquid had poisoned the air.

A Lucky Mistake.

A man of good constitution suddenly
became affected with a pain in the left
mp, which grew worse by walking The
pain, which at first was circumscribed,
soon extended to the thigh and the en-
tire left extremity, obliging him to keep
his bed. There was no fever nor sordid
state of the tongue; the pains were
acute, piercing, and intermitting. The
physician who was called, finding the
principal painful symptoms which char
acterze tAe sciatic neural gia. prescribed
a potion consisting Of three ounces of
honey and rose-water, with a drachm
OF OIL turpentine, of which mixture the
patient was to take tablespoonful
four times daily and also a mixture of
two ounces of oil of turpentine and
drachm and a half of laudanum
oyetenhami, with which the painful
parts were to be rubbed The pre-
scrlptlons were put up and delivered to
the wife Of the patient, who mistook
the walls, and, instead Of giving her
husband the potion, rubs him with it,
and gives him a tablespoonful of the
IMMINENT. The next morning the physi-
clan calls and finds his patient walking
about perfectly well : greatly surprised
land perhaps disappointed, he. inquiries
whether the patient has followed all his
directions, when, from the explanations
which are given, he comprehends the
mistake. The patient stated that, after
having taken the medicine, he felt a
severe burning and dryness in the cpl
gastric region, fauces and mouth, fol-
lowed by nausea, thirst. cephalagia,
vertigo, and drowsiness at last he fell
asleep, and slept profoundly for eight
hours, when he awoke, feeling perfectly
well. We must leave it to our readers
to draw their own conclusions from this
interesting case.-Mada7d (Spain) Pro-

4 NEW DESTRUCTIVE INsECT.-Duri1

A New DESTRUCTIVE INSECT. During
June and July the red and white pine
trees show, by their pitch exuding, that
they are attacked by an insect The
wounds usually appear on the main
stem below the point where a branch
starts. On cutting in to the bark the:
larva will be found which has caused
the injury. The larva makes burrows
by eating on the inner side Of the bark.
With young trees the bleeding which it
causes sometimes kills the tree, and is
always injurious. In July the worm
spins a whitish gray cocoon within the
exuding pitch. The moth comes forth
in from ten to fourteen days. The
insect attacks foreign as well as native
pines. Professor Grote suggests that
the only remedy is to cut off the bleeding
branches as fast as observed
