How Samson Slew the PhiIistines.

When travelled (1S71) in Pales-
tine an old servant from the monas-
terry of Ramleh, about fifty miles west
from Jerusalem, showed me the sup
posed place where Samson killed one
thousand Philistines with the jaw bone
Of an ass. When l expressed my
doubts as to the length and strength
Of jaw-b bone, considering the great
number of surrounding enemies, the
great man explained the case in the
following manner: "Well, he took
hold of the ass by the tail and swung
the animal against the Philistines in
such manner that only his head, aud
of this especially the jaw bone, struck
the Philistines, keeping off in this way
the surrounding warriors, and giving
the blow the necessary force to kill. I
affirm that in this manner Samson
could have slain million Philistines,
provided the tail of the ass did not
break. ."-SacramentO Journal

A writer in Harpers' gives his views
in column article on how to fish. He
makes very elaborate performances Of
it, but does not say he catches any fish.
He says a man ought not to sit down
to fish, and we agree with him fully ia
that particular, unless the man is wear
ing a pair of borrowed pants. Beyond
this the article is Of no value. The
best way to fish is the simplest way.
Just dig your worms before the dew is
off the earth, use cane pole, a linen
line and finely tempered hook. Start
just before the sun rises, and take a
good sized lunch with you, leaving be-
hind money enough to buy the neees-
sary fish for dinner from the DEALER
