Fresher than a spring zephyr.

p TOIIl I1Ns UTI y eT7JI9 lttUIt.
About four weeks ago a MiddletOwn young
gentleman walked briskly into the yard in
front of house, where a young lady resided
on whom he proposed to call. Meeting her
young brother near the gate. he inquired if
the young lady was at home. ''She has gone
to a nei ghbor's, but will be back in a minute, ;"
said the lad. Take a seat and wait" The
Young man walked to the piazza and sat
down. In few minutes the young lady re-
turned and after shaking hands with the gen
tleman, stepped to a rose bush near, while he
again sat down.
How fresh everything seems tonight"
said he. do you know anything fresher
than a spring ZEPHYR"
Mo- said the young lady, mot unless it is
the fresh paint you are sitting on. 1t has not
been on the piazza more than four hours"
The young man went through a back street
to a hotel and sent the porter ont on an err
rand. A few minutes later an odOr of ben
zine filed the hotel and the secret leaked out.

Hitting at Bayard.

From the st. Paul Mimi Globe.
When a man gets to Dragging about his an
cestors he Is generally accorded the same lat-
tude that the man who tells the fish stories
enjoys. The newspaper critics ought to let
up a little on hr. Bayard under the cIrcum-
time that the distinguished Delawarean had
to get away from home. And when a man
becomes a stranger in a strange land there is
nothing he is fOnder of than telling the people
among whom he is temporarily cast what a
dickens of fellow ''grandpop" was.

The New York builder, Buddensiek,
who was sentenced to the penitentiary
the other day, appeared to feel that injus-
tlce had been done him. He made a state
ment to the effect "that he had employed
the best contractors IN the city to erect
the buildings which tumbled down before
they were completed, and that he had
spared neither pains nor expense % have
the work done well, and out of good ma
terlals.' IL seems that the jury disagreed
with him on these points, and there is
hardly room for doubt as to his guilt
1t is not likely, however, that any other
buildings will fall down in New York
while in process Of erection in the near
future.

die was played in Chattanooga the other
day. a man and boy, protesting to be
father and son, rather neatly dressed,
went TO that city and stopped at hotel.
The next day the man disappeared, and
the boy appeared to be greatly distressed,
stating that his father had taken his
money away from him and deserted him,
and he begged for enough money 10 take
him home TO Texas. A number Of char
table men became interested in him. His
stories, told TO different parties, did not
agree very well. IL was discovered that
there was no dependence TO be put in
anything he said, and he soon left the
city.

IL is not certain whether the Boston
people are actually reforming, or whether
they have determined to buy their liquor
by wholesale. At any rate, there are only
1918 saloons in that city, whereas year
ago there were just 1886. When it is
taken into consideration that the number
of beer shops has increased from 56 to 236,
the decrease in the number OF saloons is
partially explained.

The mosquito is by most people con-
sidered to be pest, a nuisance. A Gal
weston man, however, writes to the New

the mosquito as "A health preserver. In

me one of the pleasantest sensations, and

prevailing along the low lands of the
coast, and attribute my exemption to the
fact that let the 'skeeters' bite me as
much as they pleased, as 1 am confident

who can testify TO the same thing. 1t has
always been regarded as strange cir
cumstance that the swampers working in
Louisiana swamps were never affected by
malarial complaints. An investigation
will show that it is due 10 the fact that
they are not afraid of mosquito bites, and
will prove further that when mosquito
bars are introduced into camp more or
less sickness inevitably follows.

jumping waterfalls.

Prof. Landmark, chief Director OF
the Norwegian Fisheries, has published
some interesting particulars OF his stu
dies Of the capability Of salmon to jump
waterfalls. He is of opinion that the
Jump depends as much on the height OF
the fall as on the currents below it. II
there be deep pool right under the fall,
where the water is comparatively quiet,
a salmon may jump sixteen feet perpen-
dicularly, but such jumps are rare, and
he can only state with certainty that 1t
has taken place in the Hellefos, in the
DRAINS river, at Haugsan where two
great masts have been placed across the
river for the study of the habits OF the
salmon, so that exact measurements
may be effected. The height OF the
water in the river, of course, varies, but
1t is a rule, when the salmon is running
up stream, Is feet below these masts.
The distance between the two is 81 feet,
and the Professor states tibet he has seen
salmon from the river below jump
across both masts. AS another exam
pie of high Jumping, he mentions some
instances of Carratunk waterfall, Reum.
bee, IN North America, where jumps OF
IL feet have been recorded. Professor
Landmark further states that when a
salmon jumps a fall nearly perpendicu-
lar in shape it is sometimes able 70 re-
main In the fall, even If the jump Is a
foot or two short of the actual height.
This, he maintains. has been proved by
an overwhelming quantity otsevidence.
The fish may then be seen to stand fora
minute or two a foot or so below the
edge OF the fall in the same spot, In a
trembling motion, when with a smart
twitch of the tail the rest of the fall Is
cleared. But only hsh which strike the
fall straight with the snout are able to
remain in the falling mass of water; II
it is struck obliquely, the fish is carried
back into the stream below. This Pro.
fessor Landmark believes to be the ex-
PLANTATION of salmon passing falls with a
clear descent of sixteen feet. The Pro-
lessor believes that this is the extreme
jump a salmon is capable of, and points
out that, of course, not all ara capable
of performing this feat.
