Musical Bait.

Fish are charged with being deaf
and dumb. But there are some fish
that pipe, others that grunt, and 9TH
ers still that drum and whistle. An
old legend says that fish were caught
in Egypt by singing to them, and &C.
cording to q Chinese proverb, "Fish-
es, though little, have very long
ears"
The author of "Music of the Wa
tiers" says that on the Danube men
hang little bells to their nets to at
tract fish; in Japan fish are sum-
moned to dipper by gongs. and the
monks of an abbey in Belgium whis-
tie to their carp when they wish to
feed them.
But the most remarkable story is
that told of an italian servant, who
uses musical bait to catch fish.
The Gazetta del Popolo says:
Gas we all know, the sense of hear
ing is extraordinarily developed in
fish; it appears that while the slight
est noise scatters them in all direc-
tions, musical note, especially that
produced by the human voice, at
tracts them; on hearing it they stop
suddenly in their course.
"Signor Saretti, having discovered
this fact, embarked one morning on
the Lake of Geneva with a party OF
friends. He possessed fine, deep
bass voice, and striking up nation
al song he proved to his astonished
companions the truth of his asser.
tions.
"They were able, by means of an
aquascope, to perceive the eagerness
with which the piscine population
gathered around the little boat.
Then, casting their nets, they in
stantly made such catch as has
rarely, if ever, been known on the
lake they might be said, indeed,
to have taken another: miraculous
draught of fishes. youths Com
panion.

Some of Sam Jones Recent Sayings.
God never called me to preach like
other men, nor other men to preach
as / do, though some have tried it
and got badly left.
God Almighty made me just as /
am, and / have never interfered with
the job one particle.
I'll promise you one thing-to tell
the truth SO it will stick to you like
a cookie burr to an old sleeps wool.
It'll be there when you shear him.
l don't mean by an honest man
one who pays his debts. That's tie
meanest sort of honesty. Any man
of sense or decency will do that if
he can.
Some church people, however, are
afraid to walk along the streets in
Lynchburg for fear of meeting man
they owe and won't pay. They do
business as "agents" and board with
their wives in order to successfully
rob their creditors
I'd go to the chain-gang and stay
there before I'd ever write my name,
"Sam P. Jones, agent" for my wife.
God Almighty never bestowed a
greater blessing on any community
than in giving it a good game preach
er who doesn't fear man or devil.
If anybody asks you to take a
drink he thinks you are hypocrite,
and if you take it he thinks right.
I've more respect for faro dealer
than progressive euchre player, be
cause the faro dealer plays for mon
ey to support his wife and children
with, while the progressive euchre
player plays for nothing but a BOBBY
prize for which he risks damnation.
The church member who rents bis
