TAKEN IN.

Quite an amusing incident il told of one
OF our limbs of the law who during the
State campaign made a speech down in
sussex to try and prevent the Democrats
from boiling and joining the soft money
people. He waxed warm 10 his speech and
dsnunciated the 'greenback erase" with
fevered earnestness and while on this topic
exclaimed: "Show me man who says an
unlimited issue of irredeemable greenbscks
10 better than hard money and III either
show You fool or knave and . liar"
He closed his speech soon after this and
stepping from the rostrum waited for the
band to quit playing so that he could hear
the following speaker. While be was thus
employed, man myRterously touched him
on the shoulder and motioned for him to
follow. Suspecting nothing, except perhaps
d prospective client our young solon follow
ed him around two or three houses and
across a vacant lot. At Last the man
paused and said:
':You said II any one would show you

The Parlor.

What horrible associations crowd in
to our mind when the word "parlor" is
mentioned. We Immediately picture
in our imagination the terrible oppress-
iveness of that best room, where the
sun is never allowed to shine for fear of
fading the carpet and furniture, where
the chairs have all stately, polished
and stiff look about them, where the
children are never allowed to enter,
where what little air there is may never
be allowed TO change, and where the
smell is something akin to that of a
family tomb. This is the best room and
is too sacred for the use of the family
and is only kept for purpose of ceremony
and for the convenience of those people
for whom we do not care a rush.
People whom we like and with whom
we are on familiar terms, come right
into the living room and have a good
chat in pleasant way; but the cere-
monious visitor, whose departure gives
us relief, is ushered into the "parlor."
The principle upon which this room
is founded is all wrong. Let us have
no such room in our house. Open the
shutters and windows. Admit the sun
light and air. If the carpets and fur
niture fade, let us enjoy their use IN
that condition. Let us not have any
tomb in our home where all should
be cheerfulness and brightness.
Abolish the ''parlOr" and enjoy the
home.

A Difficult Job.

The famous dragon on the vane OF
Bow Church, Cheapside, London, was
almost doubled up by the recent gales
and it was determined to remove it,
Its length is eight feet six inches, and
its height above the pavement 22O feet
From the highest point that could be
reached by the stairs inside the tower a
ladder was placed close against the
building, and secured by a spike at the
top. A second ladder was then hoisted
from the first with block and rope, the
foot being well secured to the top of the
other, and the second made fast as be-
fore, and so on until the top was reach
ed. Three ladders were used to get to
the vane from the top of the balcony.
A stage was then erected around the
top of the spire about three feet below
the top. From that the engineers
hoisted derrick, by which the dragon
was lifted from its place and lowered
to the ground,

An Interesting Discovery.

An order was recently issued by the
Sultan, for removing the old walls and
Notifications of Jatfa (Joppa). In cut
ting gate through water battery at
an angle of the sea wall, built by Yes
pasian, and directly in front of the re-
puted house of Simon, the tanner, the
men came on three oval-shaped tanners
watts, hewn out of the natural rock and
lined with Roman cement, down very
near the sea, and similar in every re-
spect to those in use eighteen centuries
ago. There is also fresh-water spring
flowing from the cliff close by, long
known As the town spring. This dis
covery at least proves that the house
on the rocky bluff above, and from
which steps lead down to the vats, must
have belonged to some tanner; and as
perhaps not more than one of that trade
would be living in SO small a place as
Jaffa, some probability is given to the
tradition that this is the Identical spot
where the house of Simon stood, with
whom Peter was sojourning when he
saw the vision, and received the SER
wants of Cornelius.

"What about black bass. Mr.. Boehm :
There are fears that they will exter-
inmate the other fish in the Delaware" ;"
"Well, there is danger of their de.
stroying young shad. The shad is a
slow, lazy fish and bass will eat the
small ones. They will also eat the
minnows, sinners and chubs; but they
will not injure the more valuable fish.
TrOu:? Never will hurt them. Black
bass are eamey fish, and swift, but they
can't catch the trout which are too
swift for any of them. OF course they
will not eat catfish or bullheads, nor
eels; the eels can keep out of their way
by crawling into the mud and crevices. :"
''DO the worms sometimes found in
bass greatly injure thems"
"No. They are found in all scale
fish. i have seen many worms in perch.
No fish should be eaten without being
skinned. Strip off the epidermis and
the worms will fall out.
"Black bass, like trout, want deep and
live water with rocky, gravelly, or san
dy bottom. There is another kind of
bass-the Oswego bass, a light green
colored fish-which thrives in muddy
streams and amongst weeds. The black
bass spawn from May to July, and
come up from the salt water to the
fresh water streams for this purpose.
They spawp In Uatar abons -. r.
deep. The Delaware, Susquehanna and
and the Potomac rivers are their favor
ties. They are not large enough to
catch until about three years old, at
which time they weigh from one-half
to three -fourths of pound. They are
very careful about their spawn and
guard the young fish as hens do chick
ems, and remain with them about two
weeks. The young ones feed on animal
life In the water.
''They should not be caught until
July-earlier than that is wrong. Can
be caught best by bass-fly, made pur-
posely for bass fishing. 1t is similar to
front hook and has six foot leader
with two hooks. Different colored flies
are used. Worms are not good to fish

The Alps In Winter.

During winter in the Alps the very
daylight has an unreal glow. The
noisy Summer life is suspended. A
scarce audible hush seems to be whis-
pered throughout the region. The first
glacier stream that you meet strikes the
keynote of the prevailing melody. In
Summer tie torrent comes down like a
charge of cavalry-all rush and roar
and foam and fury-turbid with the
dust ground from the mountains flanks
by the ice-shOre, and spluttering and
writhing in its bed like a creature in
the agonies Of strangulation. In Win
ter it is transformed into the likeness of
one of the gentle brooks that creep
round the roots of Scawfell, or even one
of those sparkling trout streams that
slide through water meadow in the
South. 1t is perfectly transparent. 1t
babbles round rocks instead of clearing
them at bound. 1t can at most fret
away the edges of the huge white pill
lows of snow that cap the boulders.
High up it can only show itself at inter-
walls between smothering snow-beds
which form continuous bridges. Even
the laundering fall of Hancock becomes
q gentle thread of pure water creeping
behind broad sheet Of ice, more deli
cately carved and moulded than lady's
veil, anG 80 diminished in volumns that
one wonders how it has managed to
festoon the broad rock faces with so
vast a mass of pendent icicles. The
pulse of the mountains is beating low !;
the huge arteries through which the
life blood courses SO furionsly in Sum-
mer have become a world too wide for the
trickle of pellucid water. If one is still
forced to attribute personally to the
peaks, they are clearly in state of sus-
pended animation. They are all SPELL
bound, dreaming of dim sbysses of past
time or of the Summer that is to recall
them to life. They are in trance like
that Of the Ancient Mariner when he
heard spirit voices conversing overhead
in mysterious murmurs.

SELECTING SEED CoRN.-I have been
improving my corn by selecting the
first ears thar get ripe, and this is my
seventh year since l began this prac-
tice, always planting the largest and
best developed ears. For the last seven
years / have rejected the tips and butts
of the ears, shelling off all grains that
are not well developed. To-day l have
as good, sound, well developed ears as
any man can raise, and filled to the
very tip-so much so that there is no
room for another grain. | have also
made my corn much earlier by gather
ing the first ears that get ripe. The
reason why reject the tip grains is
this-they are hot so well developed
and will not come Up so strong and
make so rank a growth.
