HUMOROUS SKETCHES.
Missed the Mouse.

Mrs. Jamieson is a Brooklyn lady,
and she had q very sore finger, caused
by striking the wrong nail while lay
ing carpets. She had procured the
finger Of an old kid glove and used it
for a finger-stall. Thereby hangs a
tale.
While cleaning house the other day
she disturbed a mouse and it ran into
one Of the bureau drawers which was
lying en- the foor. Mrs. Jameson is
not GilIid woman by any means, but,
woman-like, she called for her husband
He was shaving himself, and he came
in with his face covered with lather.
"'Smatter?" he asked, with his
mouth full of soap.
"There's mouse in that drawer,
and want you to help me kill it,. she
answered.
Mr.. Jameson isn't at all fond OF
mice, and he'd rather 60 without them
than pay an exorbitant rate for them,
but he didn't want to appear afraid, so
he went out into the kitchen and pro-
cured little Tommy's baseball bat. He
climbed up on top Of the bureau, and
told Mrs. J. to "fetch on her mice"
"I'll lift the clothes out" she said,
"and when the mouse Jumps you
squash him"
She grabbed the clothes out one by
one, and finally Jameson saw the
mouse jump. Then he struck at
it, upset the bureau and went through
the looking-glass, while Mrs. j. went
into the kitchen to howl.
They don't commune at the same
table now, for what Jameson mistook
for the mouse was the finger stall on
Mrs. Us finger.

History Of Fishing

Fishing was far searlier mode of
supporting human life than agricul-
ture. However far back in the stream
of terrestrial events Wes may suppose
it allowable to date ma appearance
on the scene, still he st have been
preceded by fish. The n ers, lakes and
seas, when he first look upon them,
must have been peoples Ssry much as
they are atithis day. nere was as
great a variety Of speei and proba-
-UTyis14-1r7ff1-t de- Of iI,di-
viduals in some of the ,ecies. And,
as savage population I$ust be always
sparse, and in any local. few in pum-
ber, their supply Of fSod from this
source could only have Neenl limited by
their inability to captAre it. What
the wild game of the fSgest and of the
open plains were tothe Inland hunting
tribes, the fish Of the fresh and Of the
salt water were to the riyerine and the
maritime tribes. Between these early
days and the first beginnings Of agri-
culture vast periods OF time must have
elapsed. First, because in these, and
more or less in all latitudes, nature
offered to man no plant that in its un-
improved state was worth cultivating.
The suitable form had to be evolved by
long processes of observation. This is
why we know nothing Of the parentage
of wheat, barley, oats, rye, beans or
maize, and why the tropical bread fruit,
plantain, banana and sugar-cane have
lost the power of producing seed, and
so of reproducing themselves; this
must have been a result Of long ages
of huma. election. Nothing Of the
kind had 70 done for fish. There it
was as fit for human food on the first
day that man stood on the river bank
or the seashore as it is at this day.
Agriculture also required implements
to clear and stir the ground, and to
gather in the crops with, and these
implements we know were the result
of long series of discoveries, i'm
provements and advances. Primeval
man, therefore, as we now read his
history, could not have lived by or
known anything of agriculture. Nor
could he have lived by wild fruits, for
they are not continuous throughout
the year. They have their season, and
that brief one. He must then have
lived by hunting and fishing and, of
the two, fishing would be the most
continuous and unfailing throughout
the changing seasons, the most valua-
BILE Of all qualities for those Dlsupplied
times. It would not be- moro difficult
to hook, and spear, and net, and trap
fish, and to gather mollusks from the
rocks and sand banks, than to trap or
pierce with arrows wild game. Our
Immediate comparison, however, Is
with agriculture; and we may be sure
that not in it were the foundations of
society laid, but in hunting and fish
ing, and that of these two, as the great
carnivors at first had possession. of the
forest and plain against intruding man,
fishing was the main primeval occupa-
tion and means Of subsistence.-Mac-

Interesting Relics.

Some interesting relics Of antiquity
were lately received at Berlin from
Mayence. They consist of the heremains
of piles belonging: to the bridge which
once led from Castel to Mayence, and
which is proved to have been in use
ifty-three years before the Christian
era. The pieces of wood are trunks of
various trees, including oak, elm, and
white and red beech. Internally they
are quite sound. At one end there are
pieces of iron. Some Of the wood is
to be devoted to the manufacture Of
a piano case. Prince Alexander, of
Hesse, has had some ornamental
pieces Of furniture made from oak dis
covered at the spot referred to, aud
those articles he has presented to his.
son, RSince Aexand der, Of Bulgaria.
