Trouting in Pennsylvania.
The Season to Open,1 Except in Pike
 County, on APriI1.

From the New York Times.
 MILFORD, Penn, March 2O.-with the sin gle exception of Pike County, trout fishing in Pennsylvania opens on April 1. A law re- gently passed by the Legislature prohibits fishing in that county until May l. Although there is good trout fishing in the counties of Wayne, Monroe, and Susquehauna, the streams of Pike county are the best known in Northern Pennsylvania, and men of promi- hence in every walk of life annually cast their counties of the State it is predicted that the catch this year will far exceed that of many years past, from the fact that the past winter has been unusually favorable to the preserva- tion of trout. There have been no deep snows nor extreme cold weather to prevent the fish from obtaining plenty to eat. In Monroe Wayne, and Susquehanne counties, applica- tions from gentlemen from New York and other cities, asking for the privilege of mak- ing the first ''casts, " have been received by property owners, and various prices have been offered. While the trout caught during the month Of April are said to be in good condi- ton, experienced fishermen claim that they are much fatter and that 1t is far greater sport to catch them during the months of May, June, July. When the special law prohibit ing the catching of trout in Pike county prior to May 1 was passed, it was thought that by delaying the season one month trout would be larger, the weather would be settled, and every one would have an equal chance to try his skill. The passage of this law, however, did not meet the approval of great many who reside in the more remote districts, through which the most noted trout streams of the county pass, andi is known that during the month of April they catch trout frequent ly, and there have been instances where some malicious persons, who were opposed to the passage of the law, have lined the streams, thereby killing the trout in great quantities. This fact having been brought to the notice of those who were instrumental in the passage of the special law, it is believed steps will be taken to have the special clause repealed at the next session of the Legislature. The streams of Pike county number upward of a score, among the most prominent of which are the Sawktll, Raymondskill Shohola, Tay- lortown, Toms Creek, Adams and Bushkill Greeks, all being within easy access and pass ing through the most romantic portion of this part of the State. Bass fishing in the Delaware river opens June l. This game fish was first placed in the Delaware during 1875. They multiply very rapidly, and last summer they were caught in great numbers. They range in weight from one-half to four pounds, and are fine eating, and it is great sport to catch them.

 Mr. Starin has 13 steamers, 5double-decked or pavilion barges, and 7 tugboats, which he considers az belonging to his passenger and excursion fsst. These are in addition to the many other craft that ply about the h.rbor in his service, and all of which, carrying the little swallow tailed pennant at their flagstaff heads, have made his signal-a star preceding the letters IN-the most frequent and famil- far flag on the Bay and rivers of New York. He employs from l, 800 to 2,000 persons in various capacities, or au average of between 1, 600 and 1, 700 throughout the year. In 1878 his boats carried over 1,60O,O 900 passengers, and in 1879 nearly 2, GOO. 900 for fares. Add to these however, the large numbers to whom free tickets and complimentary excursions were given, and it is probable that the whole number was nearly ?, ,500,0 GOO. Iu this latter respect his generosity is not surpassed, but 1t equals his own indomitable energy, and it is rarely that the two qualities arc so strongly developed in single individual. The tenden- cy of most energetic commercial men is to let everybody else look out for themselves fact due perhaps to the expressing nature of their own business, and the close attention necesss ry to be given to it. Every year since he has been engaged in passenger transportation, how ever, MT. Starin has given free excursions in some of his vessels to crowds of worthy sick or poor people. At one time he places ves- sel at the service of the newsboys, a week or two later he g1ves the bootblacks gala day on the water ana Tn one or ms pleasant groves. Again the public hear that he has placed a barge and tugboat at theservics of St. Johns Guild, or the managers of some orphan asy- lum; another barge, or perhaps 8 couple of them, swings out into the stream with 8 freight of sick or widowed and poor mothers with their children, and In this way many time during the hot summer months do thou sands and thousands Of the poor of the Metrop- oils receive, through his benefcence and thoushtfulnegs, the only airinQs. away from the din and sweltering confusion, which they enjoy throughout the season. His kindly re- gard toward others does not stop here, how ever. Scores of churches, church societies. Sundaygchool associations, and similar bodies patronizs his vessels and groves, and can al- ways make charters at the lowest rates in the market for such service. But among these it often happens that they are poor and strug gling societies, and can ill-afford to pay any thing. In these cases he usually reduces the charges to figure they can afford to pay or gives them free excursion.

The Family Rudder,
[From the Virginia (Nev.) Chronicle l

lcFOul tns NNeNs1 CHrOu1cle.l
 Comstocker who was having his hair cut yesterday afternoon gave the barber particu- lar instructions not to remove long lock that projected in a somewhat unsightly way from the front of his head.
 'sIt don't become you," said the barber.
 Cant help that, said the customer.
 Better let me take 1t of" said the bar ber
 'tJust you leave 1t as 1t is,' said the man.
 "But," persisted tho barber, ''I can't give you a smooth, decent cut if I leave the hair so long in front. It will look like the very devil. I can't see what you want 1t left there for?'
 stThat's because you don't know what it is you don't know the use of it."
 1T know that it's a bunch of hair and know that it's devilish unbecoming just where it is.
 sYes; it is bunch of hair, and it is some- thing more than bunch of hair-it's fam fly rudder."
 'sThe family what? ?"
 ssThe family rudder. When things don't go right at home my wife always grabs that lock of hair. She would feel lost without it. When she gets hold of that she can handle me-steer me in the right course so to speak and when go in the right couse the whole family go in the right course and all is we'll. I've got used to it now and don't mind it. Should lose my hair and become bald, or should you give me fighting cut all over, there would be no way of steering me; should become manageable, and sooner or later total wreck. No, sir; don't you dis turb the family rudder."

One of the curious and valuable productions country is vegetable wax. 4 still moro curi- ous product is the whits wax of China, which is as useful as the Japnnsss article and more peculiar in it's growth. Tho Tokio Times de- scribes i. hs tho mere sxudstion of an insect in state of disease, probably aggravated by the operation of an nncoogenial climate and favored by ths prsssncs of tree for which the creature has an affinity. In certain district Of the Chinese empire an evergreen thrives in abundance, and on it's twigs In the spring of the year countIsss flies swarm like brown film. The branches becoming covered with a white sonpy fncrustation, the sprays arc out of and immersed in water which is kept boil

The yiscid substance rises to the surface and is skinned of matted, sad allowed to coolin deep pans Some intelligent and quick wittsd Chinaman discovered that by trans porting the insects from their native district to the more rigorous one of K eating Flu, in the north of the province, their ospability of discharging wax is largely augmented. Night travellers on the highway between these two regions, in the spring of the year, frequently mest hundreds of WAX merchants, each carry ing his load of female insects, big with young, to their nurseries in Keating Flu. Night time is chosen for conveyance, because sunlight would hasten the hatohing- This should take plaos only after the females have been at tached to the trees. Arrived at their dsstina- ton, six or more of the mothers, which are enormously prolific, are tied, wrapped in palm leaves, to branch of the evergreen. A few days later the young flies are swarming on the twigs, where they fulfill their mission in the month of August. Then they perish in the cauldrons, when their WAX is collected. The value of tho annual crop of this wax is $3,- 25O, 900. From the single port of Hsnkow, during last year, more than $4OO, ,OOO worth of this curious secretion was exported.

 According 50 the reports of the Kitchen Garden Association" of New York, it seems to be in fair way to aid in solving the two diff fcult problems of teaching housswork to young girls and providing trained servants. The association, which under another name has been pursuing this work since 1876, has now 600 girls studying housework under 70 teachers. Those who have been under its care are eagerly sought by houssksepors, and applications for admission from poor families are numerous. The same work is ia progress in Boston and Philadelphia.
 The latest mortality statistics of the princi- pal cities of Europe and America, published by the German Imperial Sanitary Bureau, are based on returns for the seventh week of the present year, and make the death rate per l, 900 inhabitants reduced to an annual aver age as follows: Hamburg, 27.9; Berlin, 28. 5; Frankfort, 22.s; Stockholm, 26.5; Vienna, 2s.s; Dresden, 22.2; Trieste, 4o.6; Brussels, 29e; Paris, SIS; Amsterdam, 32.2; London, 35.5; Liverpool, 29.9; Dublin, 45.1; Edin- burgh, 10; New York. 21.7; Philadelphia, 15.2; St. Louis, 10.6; Chicago, 15.s; San Frsncisco, 12.6. The death rate in New York was, it will be seen, very moderate as oom- pared with that of most European cities. The remarkably low figures given for other Ameri- can cities suggest a suspicion that the system of reporting deaths to the municipal authori- ties in those places is not thorough. If only
