Mr.. Dudley Olcott, of Albany, who is
off in Canada salmon fishing, has had
capital luck. Writing from Camp
Harmony to an Albany friend, he

hardest hours work l have yet put in,
and the excitement was ahead of any.
thing l had imagined. When he took
the fly he jumped clear out of the
water. 1t seemed as if he would take
the canoe down. When struck he made
my tackle buzz as if a race-horse were at
the other end. He tried all my strength
every moment until he was brought to
gait.
"The twenty-eight-pounder caught by
the Princess Louise was fact. She
caught and 'bagged him without assist
ance. The main river and all the prin-
cipal affiuents of the st. Lawrence below
Quebec are swarming with these noble
fish,"

The Portuguese are not a clean people,
which may be one of the causes of Eng
Iish repugnance TO them. Some Of their
customs are very nasty. They expecto-
rate continually, and before doing so
make a horrible, loDg-drawn, whirlng
noise up the throat, which is very annoy
ing.
They seem to do this once in every
two or three minutes, and make quite an
art of it; for little boys practice it, and
young men seem to take pride in doing
it well. There is also great deal of hat
lifting to one another among
the men, and from observation | should
say that the art of expectoration,
with the proper noise, and the art of lift
ing the hat, were the two things that the
native male youth of Madeira first
learned. The presence of a lady does
not deter the men from the former nasty
habit, and the Portuguese ladies have
been known to indulge in it also, as
they hang over the balconies, so that it
is well to keep the middle Of the street
in walking.
There is a small public promenade
called the Praca, laid out with trees and
seats, where a band occasionally plays.
The English seldom frequent it, but the
Portuguese gather there, the men in
groups together, and the women in
groups.
The horrible noises and expectoration
going on all around one there are sicken-
ing. The band might be termed a per-
formance on drums and cymbals, with
an accompaniment of wind instruments,
for the Portuguese love noise.-[Tem-
nle Bar.

The Champion Alligator Story.

During the recent dry weather in
Manatee County the Lower Miaka Lake
dried up all to one hole-a thing never
before known to the oldest inhabitant-
which hole was quite deep and was the
only resort for water for the cattle, This
hole was full of alligators, and, as the
stockmen feared their depredations on
the cattle, number of them went there
one day and killed seven hundred and
twenty three alligators, from six feet to
fourteen feet in length.

Free Baths in New York.

The value of these free baths to our
city from a sanitary point of view can
not be easily oyerestimated. During the
past week alone over l76, 900 persons, male
and female, availed themselves of the
privileges to take an inyigorating dip,
and the figures will certainly increase as
we advance further into the warm wealth

two, additional baths will have to be
erected TO meet the growing demand.
