Some manufacturer of fishing tackle
has invented a bait with a luminous
arrangement, of phosphorus, or some
thing of that kind, to light the fish
toward the hook. When it gets so a
fellow has to hold a lantern so a fish
can see to bite, half the fun of fishing
will be gone.-Peck.
A youth went out to serenade
The lady whom he loved best,
And passed beneath the mansions shade
Where erst her chamber used to rest.
He warbled till the morning light
Came dancing DER the hilltOps' rim,
But no fair maiden blest his sight,
And all seemed dark and drear to him.
With heart aglow and eyes ablaze,
He drew much nearer than before,
When to his horror and amaze,
He saw ITO Let " upon the door.

"Pa, 1 wish you would buy me a
little pony" said Johnny. 81 haven't

You should go to school regularly, my

man, and some of these days, when
you grow up, you will have money
enough of your own to buy ponies
with" Then l suppose, pa, you
didn't study much when you were a
little boy like me, or else you would
have money now to buy ponies with,
wouldn't you, pa?"-Sttings.
A "fashion" item says: "The lozengc

describe whether the new shape in

and if they are trimmed with gimp

A SERIES of tornadoes in the States of
Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama, North Caro-
lima and Iowa have occasioned great loss of
life and limb, beside the wholesale destruc-
ton to property in town and country. The
tornadoes seem to have been developed al
most simultaneously and wholly apart from
each other within a large barometric de-
preston which existed at the time
over all the territory east of the
Rocky mountains. The village of Beaure-
gard, Miss, was almost entirely destroyed,
the number of killed being estimated at
over twenty, and a still larger numbe were
MORALLY injured. AT Wesson, one mile
away, the western part of the town was
wrecked, thirteen persons killed and twenty
or thirty wounded. At Americas, Ga, the
destruction of property was very. heavy, and
twenty-five persons lost their lives. In the

Indians in Massachusetts.

A correspondent of the Boston Post
writing about the remnants of Indian
tribes surviving in Massachusetts,,
says: 1t is believed by those WEo
have an opportunity to know, that no
Indian of pure aboriginal blood is
now a resident in the commonwealth,
they having from time to time inter
married with the whites and those Of
African descent. Counting all those
who have Indian blood in their veins
in the State, in the vestiges of tribes
remaining, there are to-day not far
from 1000 persons, embraced i'll 1l25
families, and it must he borne in mind
that tie numbers contained in these
tribes have been decreasing fer over
200 years. 1t is very significant fact
that no tribe now existing is increas-
ing numerically in the common
wealth.

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.

In q SOLID GOLD WATCH, aside from
the necessary thickness for engraving and
polishing, a large proportion of metal is
needed only to stifien and hold the engrav-
ed portions in place, and supply strength.
The surplus gold is actually needless. In
James Boss Patent Gold Watch Gases this
WASTE is saved, and L and
STRENGTH increased by a simple process,
at one-half the cost. A plate of SOLID
GOLD is soldered on each side of a plate
of hard nickel composition metal, and tho
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers. From this the cases, backs,
%centers, bezels, ETC., are cut and shaped by
dies and formers. The gold is thick
enough to admit of all kinds of chasing
engraving and engine turning. These
cases have been worn perfectly smooth by
use without removing the gold. This Is
the only case made under this process Each
case is accompanied NTH q cdlid guarantees
signed by the manufacturers warranting it to
rear 20 years. 100000 of these Cases
now carried III the United States and
Canada. Largest and Oldest Factory.

IMPORTANT NEWSPAPER MEN.

The most important newspaper
men of New York city are the report
ers and copy" readers. 1t is the re-
porter who collects all the live news
of the day, and the copy" reader
edits it and decides what shall be
printed and what shall go into the
waste basket. The editor reads the
results, and puts in the shape of an
editorial his opinions, which, by the
way, are not always read. At the best
these opinions are second hand. as
the editor gets his impressions of an
event from the tone of article he reads.
The reporter writes up the case as he
sees it, and the editor has no choice
but TO view it in the sane light.
Hence. the editor but amplifes the
views and opinions of the reporter.
Most people buy newspapers not for
the editorials or advertisements, but
for the bright and newsy stories
written by the reporters. The most
successful newspapers are those which
have a capable staff of reporters who
are abe to write what they see in an
intelligent and attractive style.
Through some confusion of ideas the
editors get all the credit and most of
the pay for the good work done by the
reporters, and the reporters only nope
"a vain one-is to become an editor
some day and gain the credit of the
work of other reporters.

The gliding SO profusely used for
ornamental purposes at the present
day is said to be silver leaf turned
yellow and golden by the application
of shellac. The discovery of the pro-
cess is accredited to a German tin
smith, who, while soldering sauce
pan, accidentally dropped upon the
metal some of the resin he had been
using. This changed the bright tin
to sort of dead yellow, resembling
gold. The development of the OBJ
servation which this humble work
man made years ago is the gliding
process of to-day. Like numerous
other valuable methods, it was dis
covered by accident.

the first five miles not a word was

Another five miles was passed, and
then one of the women ventured tC
remark that it was an awful thing te
fight duel. 1t began to rain, and
the other woman observed that botl
duelists would probably catch theil
deaths of colds, even if neither was
shot.
Every time we came to piece o.
