Ladies' Fishing in the SIerras.

Overland Monthly.
As neared the stream 10 secure the mate
rial for our first lunch, the pleasant sound Of
woman's voice, followed by ripping laugh
ter, rather astonished me, and, going few
steps further more cautiously, came upon o
very refreshing scene. Two young ladies who
had probably heard Of the Indians mode Of
fishing by constructing wicker work dam,
and driving the fish into the trap, had ingeni-
ously simplfed the plan, and were just com.
mencing operations. They had Invested them
selves Of their foot-gear, and were standing In
the stream about twenty feet apart, In water
some ten inches deep. As soon as the most
muscular one succeeded in getting large,
haring tin pan into position under water, she
called to her companion: snow start themp
and bracing herself, prepared to scoop up q
fine mess Of fish, while her friend advanced to-
ward her, beating the water with brush and
"shooing" continually. l watched them make
two Rms, both attended with poor results,
SO far as the catch OF fish was concerned, but
they had all the enjoyment they could man
age, judging by the hearty peals Of laughter
they INDUCED in; and passed on as I came,
unobserved, and thoroughly amused at this
harmless mode Of fishing.

Money Collecting in Dakota.


81 sent you an account of 1926 for
collection" said a man coming into the
Office of Dakota lawyer.
Eyes, you did,
"What success have you had?'
"Sued him last week and got it."
That's good. Give me the money
and tell me the amount of your fees and
I'll pay you"
my fees are $50. / have given you
credit for S25 collected-pay me anoth-
er S25 and We'll be square,"
"What"' gasped the man, II don't
see where l make anything by collec-
ting the debt"
Nothing, my dear sir, from money
point of view; but you have the salts
faction of knowing that a dishonest
man has been brought to justice! You
can use your own pleasure about pay
ing that 1926 now; took the precaution
to commence suit against YOU for the
amount this morning. "-ESteNine Bell.

ALucky Dog-Catcher.

Rev. Henry Ward Bcecher has q
friend named Stratton, who has been a
dog-catcher for some time and wants
to be reappointed by Mayor Whitney.
So Mr.. Beecher wrote this letter to the
mayor:
APRIL 20, 1886, My DEAR Mr..
MAYOR: The present bishop of dogs
(Mr. Stratton) has most worthily cared
for his diocese for several years. He
came to my knowledge through visit
made to him years ago seeking good
dog. He is honest, temperate, and
skillful. He is thoroughly acquainted
with dogs and men, and l hope, for the
sake both of men and dogs, that you
will reappont him. The worst men
are like dogs, and the best dogs are
nearly as good as men. Now, my friend
Stratton is as good as good man and
good dog put together. Such men
are rare to find. There are other can
didates. some not worth the shake of a
dogs tail; but my honest Episcopalian
friend Stratton is worth whole bench
show of the best-bred dogs, from the
smallest black-and-tan terrier up to the
largest mastifi. l have not had the I'LL
ing of the slightest office under your
administration. DO not refuse me this
one--the very tail of the oflices-for
my dogmatic friend Stratton.
HENRY WARD BEECHER.
Mayor Whitney replied in a facetious
note, in which he stated that he would
reappoint Mr.. Stratton.-NeW York

Egyptian Antiquity Fields.

Egypt is not at standstill at pres
ent; it is moving faster for bcttor or for
worse than it ever did before. And
this is true of its antiquities rs well as
of other things; the ancient cities are
being in the present day dug away and
their earth spread on the ground as a
fertilizer, and this is going on at such
rate that some have almost entirely
disappeared already, and fields OF corn
have taken their place; others are di-
minished to half the size they were q
generation or two back, and ar, still
diminishing every day. And the time
does not seem very far distant when
scarcely a site of city will be allie to
be identified
Certainly Egypt will have exhausted
its antiquity fields before England cX-
hausts its coal fields. And up the Nile
tombs are opened every year, and fewer
left TO be discovered. In one SER Sc we
are only just beginning to explore
Egypt, and the treasure seems to us in
cXhaustiblc. but that is only because of
the puny scale of our attack froIa the
scientific side; in another and te fribly
true sense Egypt is cxhausting itself,
the natives are ccaselcssly diggin :, and
unless we look to it pretty quickly the
history of the country will have Perish
ed before our eyes by the destl nctive
activity of its inhabitants. Never be-
fore has that land of monuments been
so tiercely worked on; daily and hourly
the spoils OF ages past are ranss ckcd
and if of marketable value are carried
off; but whether preserved or no! is n
small matter compared with the entire
loss of their connection and history
which always results in this way

Live stock Notes For May.

May is a critical month with farm animals.
They are, over great part of the country,
going from hay to grass" and are liable to
be affected by the facilitating influence of
the succulent and loosening feed. The only
way to prevent evil effects is to give hay and
grain at morning and evening at first, con-
tinuing the morning ration Of hay longer
than that of the evening, until the grass
gradually gains in nutritive value and the
animals become accustomed to it. This is
equally important for horses, COWS and
sheep. Horses that are not put to hard
work are not usually harmed by grass; the
clearing ont does them good. Brood
mares, however, need more substantial feed.
Work horses or oxen, should also have hay
daily, but if the hay is low, and due con-
sideration for the future prevents buying,
they must have grain, which is best fed
ground and sprinkled upon chopped straw
Fresh cows generally do very well if they
calve within a month after being turned to
grass. There will be little fear of milk fever
or Of any trouble incident to a feverish con
dltion, but large mixers will need feed the
the second week or they will run down thin
