A Bostonian's Bet and How He Won 1t.

A young man in Boston remarked to
leading comedian of one of the popular
theaters that he was anxious to attend
one Of Nine. Adelina PATHS concerts
the second-to hear the world-renowned
songster sing the beautiful melody,
'Home, Sweet Home
'sBut, my boy, you're not going to pay
five dollars for a seat, surely" remarked
the comedian.

nopoly of these foreign artists, and yet I
must hear Home, Sweet Home,' and
above all the fair Patti" responded the
admiring youth.
'But how, my dear fellow? You don't
know her?n &G
"Well, I'll write to her, and bet L

Eyes interrupted the comedian, with
laugh, requesting you to purchase
your ticket at the box-office."
''No; ON the contrary, the letter will
inclose ticket
''Five dollars that you don't get it."
'.Done. You've lost" remarked the
young Yankee. a
He accordingly wrote Patti letter,
inelosing ticket of lecture by some
body on John Howard Payne, the author
OF 'Home, Sweet Home," stating that
he was a friend and companion of the
dead Payne, having been present at his
death-bed in Tunis, Africa, in 1851. He
also remarked that it would be the sim
cere wish of his life to once again near
the beloved song of his old friend.

But the amusing part of the story is
yet to be told. The young man went to
the concert naturally shaky, in fear the
seat might have been marked that was
to be occupied by the pseudo-companion
of Payne, in the event of which an in
terview was inevitable concerning the
last moments of the author of Home
As he was proceeding to his seat-the
third from the aisle-an old gentleman
was about to seat himself on the first
seat. With presence of mind, our young
friend remarked to the elder party that
he had better take the seat he was to oc-
cupy, as it was far more desirable, and
that as he was to go out several times
during the concert he would be sure to
greatly inconvenience him. After few
selections an usher approached and re-
marked to the old gentleman that Nine.
Patti requested his presence behind the
scenes, much to the old party's aston
ishment. He demonstrated, remarking
that he was at a loss to understand the
diva's request, but at length he COM
piled. There he was cordially received
as the old companion of John Howard
Payne, and the situation can be better
imagined than described. Well, the
old gentleman's heart went 'spit-a-pat,
pit-a-pat," while the young mans went

Decline of Professional Beautydom.

Professional beauties were rapidly be-
coming disturbing influences in the best
conducted London circles. To be the
rose, or to boast the presence of the rose,
in brilliant company was one thing;
the display of a multitude of buds, vying
in their ambitions with the mature and
perfect blossom, was another. The
spirit of a burning, and in nearly every
instance, most unbecoming coquetry
was instilled into number of breasts.
Society was agitated by the discussion
of rival claims till it grew sick of hear
ing about them. There was not youth
full, or middle-aged, or elderly beau
who did not think it incumbent upon
himself to start some lady who had been
sufficiently unfortunate to attract his
favorable opinion in the professional
beauty line. This, it was felt, was going
a little too far. There was no reason
why individual cavaliers might not have
their preferences, but there was every
reason why they should not ask society
to endorse their choice. If Paris had
been only one of q multitude of con-
noissers in feminine beauty, the apple
which he gave to Venus would not have
been so bitterly grudged by the brace
OF neglected goddesses. The system of
professional beautydom was, in fact,
found to be incompatible with the har-
monious working of the social machine.
Drawing-rooms were split up into differ
ent camps. The gentlemen who plead
eel the claims to pre-eminence Of the
particular lady they had honored with
their championship were growing as
much nuisances as, according to the re-
frain of Bon Gaultier's ballad, the man
who lost his heart short time ago.
Moreover, the absurdity of the whole
thing was patent. The professional
beauty was only one star in a galaxy,
and not necessarily the brightest. Her
own vanity might be gratlfed at the Sc
lection, but not more than was the vani-
ty of the cavalier who selected her. The
boredom which this condition of things
resulted in provoked a wholesome reac-
tion. Mothers and fathers, husbands
and lovers, began seriously to reflect on
what would be the general consequences
OF the system if it was indefinitely de-
ve1oped. The names of score of pro-
fessional beauties were SO habitually on
peoples lips, their photographs were SO
aggressively conspicuous in shop-win-
dows, that society wearied of hear
ing of them. 1t also began to be
little apprehensive as to the consequen-
ces. 1t received some highly practical
admonitions in the revelations of the law
courts, and it came to the conclusion
that on the whole, both in the way of
enjoyment and of credit, it had more to
lose than to gain by perpetuating the
regime. This conviction reached its eli
max during the London season of last
year, and for this fact, if for no other,
we may well be grateful to 1SS1.1Lou-
don World.

The Secret OF Wing Shooting.

Shooting on the wing is mechanical
art like billiard playing, boxing, or fenc-
ing. There will, of course, be degrees
or excellence, but any one with the, full
use of his faculties and the ambition
necessary to success in anything can ac-
quire it. The secret lies in the hand be-
coming subservient to the eye. The two
must beconneeted as by electricity. The
eye is never at fault; if it were there
would be little hope of improvement, but
any one may improve the quickness Of
the muscles of the arm. Look at the
expertness of professional card players
and cohjurers in the art Of manipulation
The same practice applied to the gun
will make the brilliant shot. One often
hears it said: ITO be a good shot requires
a quick eye.'' 1t matters not how quick
the eye is, unless the muscles are educa-
ted to act in unison with it. ] Every one
can see quick enough. Let one bird out
of a trap before FIVE hundred people and
they will all see it at the same time, but
only the practiced shot can throw up the
gun to his shoulder with accurate aim
and simultaneously pull trigger, before
the bird has flown ten feet. Take the
adroit fencer or boxer; he sees an OPEN
ing and his practiced muscles obey the
eye and send the thrust or blow home
quicker than the unpracticed eye can
follow. OF what use then is the sight on
a gunP Very little, as is seen BY the
successful way gunners kill ducks when
it is too dark to see the sight or scarcely
to see the barrels A sportsman should
shoot game the same as an Indian shoots
his arrow. by looking at the object with
both eyes open. 1t may be done by clos-
ing one eye. but there Is nothing gained
by this. There are two ways of shooting
on the wing. One to throw up the gun
to the shoulder and pull the trigger at the
same time. This is termed .ssnap shoot
ing" The other, equally good, and
better to begin with, and more GER
tain upon the whole, particularly in open
shooting, is to follow the bird, and when
covered, fire while the gun is in motion.
When you pull the trigger the other hand
has a tendency to stop That misses the
bird, but education will teach it not to
stop, the same as we teach both hands a
different action while playing on the
piano.-Sacrdnsento Bee. 'ss

Fish CULTURE In Eastern PcDnsylvanis.
"The Anglers association Of Eastern
Pennsylvania" is the title of an organiza-
ton in Philadelphia, the primary objects
of which are, () the encouragement oi
fish culture in Pennsylvania by the re,
stocking of its streams with game and
other valuable food fishes; (2) the pro-
lection of the same by . vigorous enforce
ment of the existing laws; 90 the ad-
vaucement of the art Of angling and the
promotion of sociability among anglers.
The necessity for such An organization
is too obvious for argument. In eastern
Pennsylvania We have many streams spe-
cially adapted to the propagation of edible
fish, and the state has made liberal ap-
propriations for the restocking of them,
and protective laws, ample and stringent,
have been enacted but because of the
lack of enforcement of these laws, the
money and labor expended by the fish
commissioners have produced very made
quate results. 1t is to Obviate, in some
degree, this much to be regretted condi-
ton of the state fishery interests, that
"The, Anglers association of Eastern
PENNSYLVANIA " has been formed. 1t pro-
poses to insist upon obedience to the re-
guircments of the fishery laws, by institu-
ting suits for any violations of them that
may como to the knowledge of its mem-
bership. 1t further proposes to give all
its influence in behalf of the restocking of
tho streams of the state, and in the dis
semination of printed matter relating
thereto.
To accomplish these re sultf, will require
tic hearty cooperation Of citizens in
every part of Eastern Pennsylvania, and
in view Of the fact, the association re-
spectfully suggests and earnestly urges
the organization of associations of kindred
character and purposes.
"The Anglers association of Eastern
Pennsylvania" will gladly furnish copies Of
its constitution and bylaws to such per-
sons who may desire to form cooperative
or auxiliary clubs, or who wish to falnil
iarize themselves with tho distinctive fea-
lures. The officers of tho association arc :
