1t gives one an idea of the stupen-
dous increase of wealth in this country
that the Ponce de Leon Hotel at ST.
Augustine, Fla, which cost s., 500, 600
and holds about ZOO que sts, has paid
so well that its owner is adding to it the
Alcazar, across the street at cost of
$3, 500, 900 more. The Atlanta Constitu-
tios describes this hotel as a world
wonder of splendor and luxury, but
the paragraph that gives the best idea
of its elegance and the wealth of its
patrons is this:
1.-The rates? Five dollars day and
upward. Eight out of ten visitors paw
IS a day. The other two taking
private Parlors or extra rooms, pay
from % to 800 day. The suit of
rooms engaged by Mr.. Pulitzer were
$3.50 a week. The Duke of Newcastle
paid $3.50 q week for his rooms, ordered
in an extra sideboard, and kept them
while away two weeks in Southern
Florida. A lady paid $1,000 for two
weeks for her apartments. The bridal
chambers cost $40 "a day-not a steep
figure for young folks The price paid
for dinner is $2-simply because the
boats and trains bring scores of sight
seers every day who take dinner, hear
the concerts and explore the house
from the picture gallery and gardens
to the sheltered roof below which and
far away the ocean unrolls its thunder
GUS majesty"
Truly we are great people when we
can pay such hotel bills and still get
home from such distance-Rochester

Landing a Big Salmon.

Before the fly has fairly lit, a great
flash of silver darts from the waves
close by the boat. He has hooked
himself with rush, and the line goes
whirring madly from the reel as he

of the rod low; he must have his own
way now. Up with the anchor quick

steady pull. Put the force of both arms
into it. The tough wood will stand
the strain. The fish must be moved; he
must come to the boat if he is ever to
be landed. He gives little and Yields
slowly to the pressure. Then suddenly
he gives too much, and runs straight
toward us. Reel in now as swiftly as

the leader he will surely break it. An
other leap, and another! Truly he is
"a merry one," as Sir Humphrey Davy
says, and it will go hard with us to hold
him. But those great leaps have ex-
hausted his strength, and now he fol-
lows the line more easily. The men
push the boat back to the shallow side
of the pool until it touches lightly on
the shore. The fish comes slowly in,
fighting little and making few short
runs; he is tired and turns slightly on
his side; but even Yet he is a heavy

of which were killed outright and all
mangled but three or four so that the
