the most turbulent parts of the channel.
One man sits in the stern, and WITH a
single oar holds her head in the dash
ing stream, steady as though at anchor,
the light birch bark rising over the boil
ing rapids and its delicate bow part
ing the waters gracefully. The artof
thus managing the frail skiff has never
been attained, it is said, by any white
man. The Indian who handles the net
peers down into the waters, dips it
quickly at the right time, and takes the
fish rs he is struggling bravely against
the current. When the fish are plen-
tiful score or more of canoes put out
into the rapids, and the scene is one OF
interest and excitement. Shooting the
rapids is common amusement to dar-
ing travellers. They walk up the river
bank to the head of the falls, step into
canoe with an Indian guide, and rush
down some one of the channels. If
everything goes right all is well, but a
little oversight, in all probability, costs
you your life.
Sault Ste. Marie can be reached, as
we have said, in the summer by steam
er from the States by Cleveland or
Chicago, or from Canada by way OF
Collingwood or Georgia Bay. Passing
through the canal, the vessels touch at
Marquette, the center of the iron trade
of the district, and Keweenaw Point,
the seat of the first and principal cop
per-mining town, till they reach Su
perior Bay, with Superior City, in Wis
consin, on one side. and Duluth in Min
nesota, on the other, the head of thu
grandest line of fresh-water navigation
in the world. From the Gulf of st
Lawrence, through the rivers St. Law
renee, Niagara, Detroit, St. Clair, ant
St. Mary, and Lakes Ontario, Erie, st
Clair, Huron, and Superior, the dis
tance is two thousand two hundred
miles. The town of Sault is the sea
of United States fort, but is not @
much importance. There is nothing t
build it up: there are no mineral dc
posits in the neighborhood, and its ae
: ricultural development is oversnadowc

The Hague.

The Hague is an excellent "foot-
hold" or starting point for many places
of interest lying thereabouts, both land
ward and seaward. In itself 1t Is one
of the most charming Of all the towns
in the Low Countries. II has all the
fresh, brisk air of seaport, without
quite so many Of the serious and sub.
stantial odors of harbor mud at low
tide that one gets so often in a seaport
town.
There is also quaint, genial air Of
court gentility still lingering about its
many palatial residences 1t is easy to
see that at one time its dream, its ideal,
was Versailles. Not any vain attempt
TO outshine its queenlY splendors is evi.
dent; but over much that remains OF
the best part of the Hague Of the eigh.
teenth century which is very promi.
nent part indeed there is a light,
fiourishy, courtly touch that takes one
back to the time of powdered wigs, and
of patches deftly placed near dimples
and at outer corners of roguish eyes, Of
ieweled snutf-boxes and sedan chairs,
and the loftiest Of high-heeled brocade
shoes. Yet there is,much that is mod
ern and Parisian. There is also good
fair bitthat was built when the Dutch
had an architecture of their own, when
they were making glorious chapters OF
history, when their flags were flying in
every cline, and they were good hard
hitters by sea and land.
The vague MISUNDERSTANDING, mere
sightseeing tourist could "do" the
Hague and all about it in a good long
day, and forget all about it before the
next morning, and be ready again for a
similar dose; but to those who have an
interest in matters of Dutch history, its
art, or its past. or its picturesque, pros
porous present, the Hague would afford
pleasant exploring ground for week
or more. Even the artist, working al
Scheveningen, would perhaps live
cheaper and moro pleasantly at the
Hague few minutes of by train,

has a purpose, and does not mind ex

A Package OF Troubles.

One rainy night, just as the workmen
were hurrying home to supper, an old
woman, carrying q large bundle OF
quilts, climbed onto yellow South Bos-
ton car near the corner of Dover street
and Shawmut avenue. taking seat on
the inside, and leaving her load on the
front platform. In few moments the
conductor came in, took her ticket, and
went forward to where two men were
standing talking with the driver. One
of them passed out two checks, which
the conductor punched, and then said:
II want you to pay for this bundle" "
81 shall not pay for it," asserted one
of the men.
~ never have paid anything for it,
and shan't now," replied the other,
looking at his companion in mystic
rious manner.
'If you don't pay fare on that ]
shall throw it off. p"
"Off with it if yon think it your best
way" came the reply, at which the
conductor got mad and hurled it into
the mud The men paid no attention
to the act aud continued to talk with
the driver.
"Aren't you going to look out for
your luggagep" asked the conductor,
after waiting awhile for them TO get off.
Don't know anything about it,
came the reply. 1T don't belong to
u.s."
Then the conductor gave the bell
rope desperate yank and ran back aft
er the bundle. When he returned with
it all muddy, the old lady just let out
on him, and he had to coax the two
men on front to swear that it fell off by
accident before she would consent to
keep quiet. Boston Globe.

"A chicken rooster entered lady's
house the other day, and seeing himself
reflected in large, handsome mirror,
deemed it his bounden duty to go for
the reflected intruder, and he forthwith
threw himself against the mirror, shat
tering it all to pieces. With the break
ing Of the glass his shadow disappeared.
and he concluded he had demolished
his supposed antagonist. The noise
brought the good lady into the house,
when she found her valuable mirror in

4 valuable Improvement on the fish hook
About midway up the shaft Of the hook he
places small cross bar, which serves three
purposes. First, it prevents the fish from
swallowing the hook; second, it increases
the chances Of capture, from the reason that
when a fish strikes his nose against the pro-
lection he involuntarily closes his mouth,
and so Is securely caught; and third, it
prevents the bait from slipping up the hook
aud thus removes from the art of angling
It's chief proyocation to strong language.
