you can do to-day.
2. Never trouble others for what you
can do yourself.
8. Never spend your money before
you have it.

8. Pride costs us more than hunger,
thirst or ccsd.
8. We never repent Of having eaten
too little.
z. Nothing is troublesome that we do
willingly.
8. How naucA pain have those evils
cost Us which never happened2
8. Take things always BY their smooth
handles
10. When angry, count ten before
you speak; when very angry, count .

The lake herring are the most uniform IN

The white fish Of the Yonkon River.
Alaska 50 say the Government reports
weigh as high as forty pounds. The stur-
geon Of the Great Lakes average fifty
pounds. but now and then one is taken
that weighs one hundred pounds andover.
/ saw myself at the Sault Ste. Marie, one
taken that weighed one hundred and
twenty-five pounds. The catfish Of our
lakes are of the most superior quality,
bringing in the southern markets better
price than any of our lake fishes, whether
fresh, sailed or smoked. The average
size is twelve pounds; but yet saw .
specimen taken with hook and line that
weighed fifty pounds. In the waters Of
the Mississippi Valley it often attains
double that weight.

A noteleS stream the Birchbrook runs
Beneath its leaning trees;
That low, soft ripple Is It's own,
THAT duh roar II the seals.
OF human signs It sees alone
The distant church-spire's tip,
And, ghostlike, on a blank Of gray,
The white sail Of q ship.
No more toiler at the wheel,
It wanders at its viii;
Nor dam nor pond is left to tell
Where once was Birchbrook Mil.
The timbers Of that mill have fed
Long since a farmers fires:
His doorsteps are the stones that ground
The harvest Of his sires.
Man trespasse1 here; but Nature lost
No right Of her domain;
She waited, and she brought the old
Wild beauty back again.
BY day the sunlight through the leaves
Falls on its moist, green sod,
And wakes the violet bloom Of spring
And autumn's golden-rod.
It's birches whisper to the wind,
The swallow dips her wings
In the cool spray, and on it's banks
The gray song-sparrow sings.

Is lie a Confirmed Liar?

Mr.. Blaine Sc ems to be one of that odd
class of PEOPLE who never take the
straight road when there is round
about one. 1t appears to 10 impossible
for him to tell the plain truth. His pub
lie disputations involve him In one
falsehood after another, and of late he
seems to have lost the cunning which
formerly enabled his bravado to secure
for him the applause and favor that
audacity sometimes commands where
even integrity is lacking.
Mr.. Blaine has been very badly in
volved In the Mulligau business, and his
explanations simply prove him to be q
gross prevaricator. The same thing has
been manifest in his story of his mar
raige or marriages. Now he has made
another contribution to the American
ready letter writer and, II possible, worse
than any Of his previous efforts. In his
effort to silence these guns of the
opposition battery at one time he
he's been singularly unsuccessful, as
