An Eel Story With Whisky Bait.

''Eels is hitin' very good this winter"
observed q Newtown man to the cashier,
as he fished around in his vest pocket
for marriage notice and paid the ex-
pense of insertion.
'sCatch manyP" asked the cashier,
checking the notice.
''Doin' pretty well, pretty well,' re-
piled the old man. Il ketched one the
other day which was considerable eel.
Ye see went to the crick in the mornin'
and cut a hole in the ice and dropped
the hook. In about minute | knowed
had bite and | went for him. When
I'd got about ten yards of him out
began"
'.Got what?' demanded the cashier.
'.Ten yards of him. Ye see, couldn't
tell how big he was goin' to be, so / just
pulled his head over my shoulder and
streaked for home, only a mile. Then L
followed along back to the hole and he
wasn't all out yetr'
''How big was he?" asked the cashier,
with round eyes and standing hair.
"Hold ON till l tell ye. Then takes
another grip on to him and reaches for
home again, but that didn't seem to fetch
the whole of him. Well, sir, travelled
between the house and the hole all day
long, and when got him all out he made
a coil on my farm quarter of a mile in
diameter and 400 yards high! Fact, sir!
l tell you he was considerable eel!''
''What kind of bait do you generally
use for that size of eelP'' asked the cash
ier, sarcastically
Whisky. replied the Newtown man.
81 used three pints of whisky ON that eel.
Drank it the night before you knowr'
The result of which was that his mar
riage notice went into the death column
and the cashier sat around and chewed
his nails all day.

The bliss of true companionship. Alone

That all the gods talked with her as their own
The undulating grasses, rank and wild,
Beloved in seas of beauty ut her feet.

She found the whole earth lovely ana repletc
With the exquisite music of the spheres

Not dulled by the worlds plaudits or its cheers.

She sat in her rich garments like queen.
Her face was cold and passiOuless and proud,

With worldly-wise suspicion in her heart,
Her fawning friends, she held, but played a
part.
'AlasT' said show all alone thou art!'
She plucked some pansies from her garden bed,
And idly wore them in bril- ght bouquet
She smiled. "IIow large my pansics are! she

A Car-Building State.


But few persons are aware that 1ndi-
ana is the leading state for car-building,
and has the largest car manufactory in
the world. Yet such are the facts. The
Ohio Falls car-works, at. which both
passenger and freight equipments are
built, employ more men than does the
much-tallled-of Pullman Car company.
There are now in this state eight expen-
sive manufactures, at which cars are
built, and attached to four of them are
foundries, which cast the wheels and all
other cast-iron material used in their
construction. These works give en-
ployment to $3.50 men, according to the
January pay-rolls, the Ohio Falls car
works leading; giving employment to2,
100 men. Next comes the Harkell &
Barker Car-works, Michigan City, which
have more capital invested in their
works than the Ohio Falls Car company,
but gives employment to a less number
of men. The next largest works are To-
Gated at Terre Haute; fourth, at Cam
bridge City; fifth, at Indianapolis; sixth,
at Lafayette; seventh, at Elkhart; eighth,
at Laporte. 1t may be said that Penn
sylvania builds more cars than does In
diana, but to support this statement it
would be necessary to include car-works
which are owned largely and operated
chiefly by the Erie and Pennsylvania
Railroad companies, but no Independent
enterprises like the car establishments of

A Wonderful Creature,

When ''critic begins to gush there is
no stopping him. For example, take
this masterpiece of criticism upon
Patti, from the Cincinnati Commercial:
She could not have been painted by
any artist whatever. She stood there
beyond the brush of even Bonnat; she
stood there, not only the artist without
a peer, she stood there art embodied
she was art. The first effect of her pres
ence was so dazzling that the people
held their breath; they knew that she
dazed them, but did not at first know why.
In her ears and around her neck she wore
diamonds, and each one of those stones
would have made the dover of a princess,
the ransom of king. They flashed and
flashed, until around her face played the
exquisite tints of the rainbow; the neck
lace looked like an aureole dropped from
the head weary of its weight of glory;
yet the aureole seemed not content to be
thus placed, but sent it's lines of light to
encircle the head above that needed no
longer to wear a crown. Any other face
would have grown into almost indistinct-
ness thus lighted with the rainbow flashes
of the diamonds. but not PATHS. Bright
as were the jewels they were not brighter
than her dark eyes; dazzling as were
their flashes, her face gave out glories
as brilliant. 1t was not until the grace
full salutations she gave to every part of
the house--to the box on the right she
gave her first bow-not until her arms
were raised that any eye was taken from
her face, set as it was in the glorious
light of the flashing jewels; then her
arms flashed like electric fire; they were
the diamonds that in that light and with
the motion gave another kind of brilliant
setting to the shapely arms. Then, per-
haps the eyes wandered to the dress she
wore.

A Hinh Htnnl


By introducing q high stool into th>
kitchen, a great deal of the work may
be done while sitting; for instance, dish
washing, bread and pastry making,
ironing, etc. This humble piece of
furniture, when properly introduced in
to the economy of the work, will prove
to be a source of salvation to many =
woman tired to death from being so
much on her feet. One can do with
ease all the above enumerated tasks,
which are usually done in standing
posture, and the facility in working
while seated upon stool is, of course,
greatly increased by practice. With an
ironing board well adjusted at both
ends, and high enough so that the knees
will pass under it, one may do large
ironing, only rising to change the iron.
And if one is too much of an invalid for
that she can have asmall charcoal stove,
which will heat the irons, placed at her
hand. With such contrivances ironing
becomes clancy work" for lady may
do it in her parlor with ease. The char
coal or kerosene stove is very nice for
''doing up fine and elaborate pieces
that require much time and skill. If
your stool has an adjustable top, which
may be raised or lowered at will. it will
be still more useful. The reason why
very many tired women do not sit more
at their kitchen work is because the Or
binary chair is too low, and it is impos-
sible to bring tables and shelves down
to the level of chairs. But the high
stool and the adjustable stool make the
thing pleasant and practicable. Try the
experiment, tired housewives.

Tha NaH Snrinr Bonnet.

The bulk of the importations of fspring
millinery consists of very large bonnets
and larger round hats than any worn
last summer, yet there are also pokes of
medium sizes, cabriolet gypsies, and
very small capotes. The large po&es
have square fiat crowns with very far
ing fronts, and many have the middle
of the brim rolled back toward the
crown, or else they are rolled all along
the edge to give coronet effect. The
wide front of these bonnets is further en-
larged by their strings being set so far
back that the crown is tied fiat against
the head, and the brim thrown forward
and outward. Fine straw is the mate
rial for such bOnnets in preference to
chip, which is only found in black bon
nets and hats. Very few pure white
straws are seen, the preference being
given to ecru and Manila tints that are
almost as dark as tan-color. These are
shown in the genuine Manila braids,
Tuscans Milan straws that are made in
England, and the fine English split
straws that are as light in weight as
chips. Dark straws of the strong Milan
braids will be chosen to match costumes,
and are shown in all the shapes in dark
green, garnet, olive, brown, etc. The
small capotes with coronet front, or
with the brim rolled upward all around,
will be the first spring bonnets worn in
city streets, especially in dark colors
corresponding with the dress, but the
great pokes and picturesque round hats
will be chosen for midsummer at the
watering-places and country resorts.
The rough straws for travelling and gen.
eral wear are made of porcupine braid
of smoother quality than that introduced
last year, and with luster like satin;
these will be most used in dark colors.
especially red, blue or green. For gar
den hats are Leghorn flats, with pleated
brims edged with straw pleating that is
embroidered in colors. Manila hats
have colored facings of Belgian straw
inside the brim, thus bringing becom-
ing color next to the face, and doing
away with the necessity for lining.
Other hats of very large Gainsborough
shape have straw ruche on the edge of
the brim. Of all the large shapes the
poke with rolled front meets with most
favor from dealers; when trimmed with
a great cluster of feathers directly on
top, it recalls precisely the bonnets of
100 wears ago, after which it is modelled.
