Columbus Getting too Much Credit.

The fact that this is very big coun-
try never strikes one so foreibly as
when he has travelled a couple of
thousand miles due west and still finds
the prairie stretching out before him.
A young sprig of British nobility was
over here last summer, accompanied
by the inevitable ''Jeems." They saw
the seaboard cities, tarried for time
in PIttsburg, in Chicago, in St. Louis.
and in Kansas City, and then struck
out into the great West. Somewhere,
near the edge of Colorado the train
was delayed at small station. and
the passengers got out to stretch their
legs, among them his lordship and
"Jeems," who seemed in a brown
study. what is it?' asked his master.
II was just thinkin', me lud," said
Jeems, ''that Columbus didn't do such
mighty big thing when e discovered

Queer Fishing.

Trout creek is quite a paradise for
the angler. The fish are large, and
become quite plentiful when the waters
of Lake Ainslie are sufficiently warm to
cause them to seek a cooler re-
treat in the flowing stream. One-half
of the stories which are told of the
catches at this place would fill volumes,
but none of them as yet reached the
sublime height of what is claimed for
a small lake near Guysboro. The mar
rators hero is himself. He says that
one winter, being tired of salt beef and
wanting trout for change, he cut a
hole in the ice on the lake. He had
evidently selected good day, for the
fish took his bait so rapidly that it
was downright hard work to keep
pulling them out. So eager were they,
indeed, that they would often jump for
the bait before it had even touched the
water. Our sportsman was an inven-
tive genius and decided to profit by
this phenomenal appetite. Getting
down on his knees, he dangled the bait
above the hole and awaited further de-
velopments. Almost Immediately a
fine trout jumped for it, and promptly
received dexterous box on the ears
which landed him far out on the ice.
So numerous and so hungry were the
fish that the anglers hand was kept
constantly busy slapping them as they
jumped for the alluring bit of red pork
which hoYered over the opening in the
ice. Every slap yielded a fish This
continued until sheer fatigue put an
end to the novel pastime. A conserva-
tive estimate placed the quantity of
fish at somewhat over four barrels

A Psychological Puzzle.

There are very many things In ma
ture which nobody's philosophy has
dreamed of yet. We are very far from
a solution of all the riddles that turn
up now and then to puzzle US. What
is the secret bond between twins which
makes one suffer from the pain the
other feels. how ever distant? That
this in some degree is true there are
numerous instances. Here is one from
| Tiffin, o.:
"Charles Foncannon, aged %, got
his arm in planer at the charn
factory, and it was ground to pulp
] to the elbow. At the exact time this
: happened. 2:45 p. M, his twin sister,
! living over mile away suddenly cried
out in great agony, saying that there
was a fearful pain in her arm. She
suffered so in a few minutes that a
/ PHYSICIAN was sent for, and soon after
! he arrived three other physicians ar
rived, bringing her brother, whose
arm they proceeded to amputate at
once. When the sister had first been
taken with the pain she had cried out:
oh, Charley is hurt!
''While the arm of her brother was
being amputated the sister. who was
! kept in another part of the house and
did not know what was going on snf-
fered terribly and screamed with
agony. 1t was necessary to give
her an injection of morphine in the
arm to quiet her Since th"n, when
ever the brother is unusually rest
less or suffers much. the sister suffers
in a similar degree"

Overworked.

Up with the birds in the early morning
The dewdrop glows like precious gem;
Beautiful tints in the skies are dawning,
But she's never n moment to look at them.
The men are wanting their breakfast early;
She must not linger. she must not wait;
For words that are sharp and looks that are
sufly
Are what the men give when the meals are
late.
Oh, glorious colors the clouds are turning,
If she would but look over hills and trees:
But here are the dishes, and here is the churn
ing
Those things always must yield to these.
The world is filled with the wine of beauty,
If she could but pause and drink it in;
But pleasure, she says, must wait for duty
Neglected work is committed sin.
The day grows hot and her hands grow weary.
Oh, for an hour to cool her head;
Out with the birds and winds SO CHEEKY
But she must get dinner and make he1
bread,
The busy men In the bayfield, working,
If they saw her sitting with idle hand,
Would think her lazy, and call it shirking,
And she never could make them understand
They do not know that her heart within her
Hungers for beauty and things sublime,
They only know that they want their dinner.
Plenty of it, and just ION time.
And after the sweeping and chnrning and
And dinner dishes are all put by,
She sit and sews, though her head is aching,
Till time for supper and chores" draws
Her boys at school must look like others,
She says. as she patches their frocks and
hose,
For the world is quick to censure mothers
For the least neglect of their children's
clothes.
Her husband comes from the feid of labor,
He gives no praise to his weary wife;
She's done no more than has her neighbor;
'Tis the lot of all in country life.
But after the strife and weary tussle
With life is done, and she lies at rest;
The nations brain and heart and muscle
Her sons and daughters-shall call her biest
And think the sweetest joy of heaven,
The rarest bliss of eternal life,
And the faire st crown of all. will be given
Unto the wayworn farmers wife.

Never go to bed with cold or damp
feet.
Never lean with the back upon any
thing that is cold.
Never begin a journey until the
breakfast has been eaten.
Never take warm drinks and then
Immediately 60 out into the cold.
Never omit regular bathing. for un-
less the skin is in active condition the
cold will close the pores and favor
congestion and other diseases.
After exercise of any kind never
ride in an open carriage or near the
window OF car for moment; it is
dangerous to health, or even life.
Merely warm the back by the fire,
and never continue keeping the back
exposed to heat after it has become
comfortably warm. To do so is de-
bilitating.
When hoarse speak as little as pos
sible until the hoarseness is recovered
from. else the voice may be perman-
emily lost or difficulties of the throat
be produced.
When going from a warm atmos-
phere into cooler one keep the mouth
closed, so that the air may be warmed
In its passage through the nose ere it
reaches the lungs.
Never stand still in cold weather,
especially after having taken a slight
degree of exercise. and always avoid
standing on ice or snow, or where the
person is exposed to the cold wind.
Keep the back, especially between
the shoulder-blades, well covered; also
the chest well protected. In sleeping
In cold room establish a habit of
breathing through the nose, and never
with the mouth open.
