MISSING LINKS.

Af.erpoiitics and money. marriage is
the key that unlocks the portals OF the
English aristocracy with the greatest
ease. The nobility may marry whom
they please. and their wives will be
peeresses; their children are all in sue
cession. though born Of dairymaids.
Many OF the wives of tho lords are from
the middle class. A rich heiress can
buy coronet any day. There are
marchionesSes now living whose for.
tunes fresh from trade saved the ancient
estates of ariStocracy from the hammer;
while ladies with the odor of tobacco
about their garments have penetrated
into patrician families, and shone in the
most exclusive spheres. The taint dis
appears at the entrance. They leave
the shop entirely behind when once
they are initiated.
Feathers form the main feature of sev.
eral immense establishments in Paris.
Four sous is the average price for the
feathers of hen, but If from white
cock the price may raise as high rs
francs. Pea-hen feathers are not en-
ployed in industry. Turkey feathers.
if good and white, fetch rs much as IL
to 20 francs; they are sold as ostrich
feathers, and can be dyed all the colors
of the rainbow. The feathers of the
male are more esteemed than those of
the female bird. In the case of pea
cocks the white feathers are most priced.
The goose, however. is the bird which
yields the most lucrative crop of feathers.
Quill farming having been extinguished,
the geese are now plucked three times
q year on the breast and abdomen;
their annual value is | franc.
BY means of the proposed tunnel
from the Canadian mainland to Prince
Edwards Isle. it is believed that steam
communication may be carried on all
the year round, as is the case now in
the Clyde, Severn and Thames system.
The total distance from Cape Torment.
inc to Cape Traverse, the two terminal.
points, is eight and one-half miles, and
between these two points are the Straits
of Northumberland. The plan is to run
tunnel composed of metal cylinders
three-eighths inches thick, fifteen feet
in diameter, lined with concrete two
and one-half feet thick, giving clear
passageway of ten feet, through which
cars may be drawn by firelcss engines,
also to run piers out from the main land
on the New Brunswick side, 10000
feet, and from Prince Edwards side r.
600 feet. 10 reach the bottom of the
straits which at the ends of these piers
is twenty feet below water level, cylin.
der will run down gradual incline.
Ventilation of the whole will be secured
by means of Il shaft sunk about hall
way across the straits. ut which point
the water is ninety feet deep.

FIy.Casting.

1t is not necessary to wait for sum-
mer nor for access to water, in order to
practice casting. A housetop. door,
yard, or even the spacious floor of an
0ld-fashioned barn, offers just as good a
chance for practice as lake or river.
Fly-casting is very simple movement,
and not a flourish. The elbow is kept
down at the side, the forearm moving
only little, and most of the work is
done by the wrist. Holding the rod by
the ''grip," the part of the butt wound
with silk or rattan to assist the grasp,
one finds that the reel, which is just be-
low the "grip, aids in balancing the
rod. The reel is underneath in casting.
After hooking fish, many anglers turn
their rods so as to bring the reel TO the
upper side, thus letting the strain of the
line come upon the rod itself instead of
upon the rings. In holding the '.grip."
the thumb should be extended straight
along the rod. as this gives an addi-
tional purchase For the first cast,
take the end of the line in the left hand,
and bring the rod upward and back
ward until the line is taut. As you re-
lease the line, the spring on the rod car
ries the line backward. This is the back
cast. Then comes an instant's pause,
while the line straightens itself out be-
hind, and then. with firm motion of
the wrist, helped little by the forearm,
the rod is thrown forward, and the line
flies easily out in front. Begin with
line once or once-and-a-nalf as long as
the rod. and lengthen it out by degrees.
The main poirlss to be remembered are;
to.keep the elbow at the side, to train
the wrist, TO move the rod not too far
forward Or back. always to wait until
the line is straight behind on the back
cast and to make sure that in this the
line falls no lower than your head.
process which it will take time to ac-
complish There is no more awkward
fault than that Of whipping rod down
to level with the horizon.
When the learner becomes accustom-
ed to handling his sW,od, he must try to
perfect himself in two matters:O OF great
importance accuracy and deiicacy.

twenty feak away, and aim at making

A BULLET NEAR HIS HEART.

Mysterious Shooting of the Retiring
Grand Chancellor of the knights OF
Pythiss.
TERRELL, TEX, April 23.-The Grand
Lodge OF the knights of PythIas has been
in session here since Wednesday morning.
AT O'Clock yesterday morning, in his
room in the Harris hotel, Alexander Abey,
the retiring Grand Chancellor Of Texas,
shot himself with pistol, the ball enter
ing his breast just to the left OF the neart.
There is much mystery surrounding the
affair, and it is believed the shooting was
accidental. Mr.. Abey is prominent
lawyer of LOngview, and has occupied
the highest offices in the Knights OF Py-
tnas order in Texas.
Joseph b. Clamans, who had just been
elected Grand Master OF the EXchequer,
was in the room at the time. Messrs.
Clamans and Abey have been warm
friends many years. Mr.. Ciamaus says
Mr.. Abey met him yesterday morning,
and asked whether he cOu d lend him
(Abey) a good pistol. as his Abey's) was
out OF order. Mr. Clamans said his pistol
was in his Yalise at the hotel, and
together they repaired to the room.
While Mr. Clamans was getting the re-
VOlYer from the Valise, Mr.. AOey was
sitting on the edge of the bed. Mr.. Cla-
mans was startled by the report of
pistol, and turning, saw Mr.. Abey gasp
ing on the bed and his weapon on the
floor. For several years Mr.. Abey has
had feud with p. S. Aren,
County Clerk of Galveston county,
prominent knight OF Pvthias,
who is at the convention. The theory is
that MIR. Abey, in view of the possibility
OF meeting MIR. Aren, desired to be well
armed. and that he was examining bis
own weapon, when it was discharged.
Mr. Abey is very low, and there is little
chance ofhis recovery. Shortly after the
shooting he sent for MIR. Aren, but what
passed between them at the bedside is not
known For several years Mr.. Abey was
editor of the Longview Democrat, retiring
recently. There are many believers IN
the suicide theory, but any motive for
self-destruction is hidden

ATLANTA, GA, April 23.-The decision
of the Railroad Commission in the pool

was wired the News last night. Inc
commission recited the petition OF JonI
n. Dunn and A. Haas, OF the Chamber OIL
Commerce, alleging discrimination on 'ne
part of the railroads in the pool against
Atlanta. The railroads demurred gene
rally to the Commissions jurisdiction on
the ground that the charges complained
nj wero on freigbts coming into the State
from other states, and therefore came uh-
dar tho head of Interstate commerce, and
hence tbe CovmissiOn had no con-
troll OF them. The western
and Atlantic road demurred

IsaseIwith the Stac Il claimed that unless
IL was shown that its rates We're greater
than permitted by the contracts ol tease,
and greater than charged by the State a
the time j. was operating the road,
1t also claimed that any attempt on the
part of the Commission to control or IN
terfere with its rates was uncOnsi1tutlon-
al as imparing the obligation of SAID con-
tract. The Commission held that the
general demurrer question turned on the
construction to be given the latter
clause Of the prOvlso contained
In section Of the act of Oct. IA, lo,9'
creating the Commission. 1t quoted the
no a q
clause apply - local or through trelghts!
The Commission held the latter The
view of Tia gislature was evidently
that the Comm 'N7iOn makes rates apso-
lutely on the former, but the rates on the
latter are made by the railroad COMPANIES,
and the Commission is to fix the dll-
ferences in charges for longer ard shorter
distances-that is to app0ru0n the
rates already made on through trelghts
according to the distance the irei9ht IS
carried on State lines. 1t is claimed,
saws the Commission. that this construc-
fion of to- ~ clause is unconstitutional
as attemp, z to confer on the COmmis-
sion authority to regulate Interstate
commerce. On this point no opinion Is
expressed, as the Commission is not
authorized TO pronounce as to the con-
