Seth Green's experiment of stock
ing Lake Ontario with shad has result
ed in the Matching of millions of them;
but, although they were first put there
seven years ago, they do not grow to
be above eight inches long, and are not

the historical angels of revelation,
poetry and art are masculine, without
a single exception. The angels of the
Bible, the angels of art, the angels of
Milton and Dante are all masculine"

ever occur to you, that while there are
no feminine angels on canvas or in
poetry, there are no masculine angels
anywhere elsep-HdCb-Ey

Kit Carson's nephew, Charlie, is
very much chagrined to think that
after heroic service as an Indian scout
and hunter, and after killing ten dusky
children of the forest and dangling
their scalps from his belt, he should be
! arrested on the prOsaic charge of steal
ing two army blouses and pair of cav
airy boots. Yet for such action does
he mediate in the Winnemucca jail
Charlie mother, sisters, and brothers
were killed by the Apaches. He gets
himself up after the fashion of Buffalo
Bill and Capt Jack, carries Winches-
ter rife, Il big knife, and tremendous
revolver.
Another Lincoln anecdote: THAT
reminds me" said he, of story about
a horse that was sold at the crossroads
near where | once lived. The horse
was supposed to be fast, and quite
number of people were present at the
time appointed for the sale. A small
boy was employed to ride the horse
backward and forward to exhibit his
points. One of the would-be buyers
followed the boy down the road and
asked him contidentially if the horse
had splint. We'll, mister said the
boy, : if it's good for him he has got it,
but if it isn't good for him he hasn't"
