Catching EeIs by the Barrel

One Of the most novel sights in the
spring Of the year, at the rocks Of the
Willamette falls, is the swarms Of
gyrsting cells. They are freshness it
self, and show low order Of intelli-
gence. II you put your hand in the
water over the cells, or spit on it, in
stantly they are gone. But poke a
stick down among the snaky things
and they do not notice it. The sense
of smell seems to be their main guard
against danger. Like salmon, they do
their level best to dart up tho rocks in
order to ascend the river and with
good success. Says fisherman:
Il have seen as many as hundred
bushels Of eels hanging on the rocks
at one time by the suckers Of their
mouths. They would wiggle and flut-
ter their tails, and by the momentum
thus obtained, letting go with their
suckers, jump up about six inches
higher. [ caught about forty barrels
last season that sailed and sold to the
Columbia fishermen for bait. picked
them off the rocks with fish hook
tied to pole. started ct the bot
tom row Of hanging cells, and would
silently pick off barrel after barrel.
The upper rows hadn't sense enough
to perceive the enemy. 1 have caught
cells in the headwaters of the Santian,
In the Cascade mountains. Suppose
they had swum up from the William

Sheridan's Horse.

One Of the stirring incidents in
Bronson Towards new play, "Shenan-
dOAh," is the dash across the staco Of
the war horse of Gen. Phil s. .ldan.
In this connection it is IL .ereSting to
noto that all there Is left of the old
charger that carried Sheridan through
fifty-Chree battles is now in the muse
una on Governors Tgl.,-.,, New York.
Old Winchester's hide has ben mount
ed by slkillful taxidermist and has
been made to look as if he wero ready
and anxious to take his master again
on that famous ride which began with
Sheridan twenty miles away" The
history of Sheridan's charger has been
written out and hangs near the mount
ed hide and is signed by Sheridan. 1t
says that in disposition he was
spirited, though honest, and would
stand the heaviest firing as steadily as
the best Of SheridanS well trained
men. He was as tough as a pine knot,
and possessed Of a large amount Of
equine pride. Winchester was black
when in The war, but age turned his
coat to 8 dark bay. He died in 1879

BOYS.

"What kind Of a boy does a bust
ness man want?" repeated a shrewd
and. practical man. "Well, will
tell you. In the first place he wants
a boy who doesn't know too much ::
business men generally like to run
their own business, and prefer some
one who will listen to their way,
rather than try to teach them new
kinds; secondly, they want prompt
boy-one who understands 7 o'clock
to be exactly 7 o'clock and not ten
minutes past; third, an Industrious
boy, who is not afraid to put in a
little extra work in case OF need !;
fourth, an honest boy-honest in his
service, as we'll as in matters of dol
lars and cents; and fifth, good ma
tured boy, who will keep his temper
even if his employer loses his own,
now and then"
"But you haven't said a word
about his being smart" was sug-
gested.
"Well, to tell the TRUTH" was the
rather hesitating answer, CHATS
about the last thing to worry over.
The fact is, if a boy is modest,
prompt, pleasant, industrious and
honest, he's about as smart as we
care about generally, and that's
a fact.
So you see how it is, boys; and,
perhaps some of you who are not SO
brilliant may take courage and cul-
tivate these qualities which shall
make you acceptable to business
men, though you may never shine
in the world of letters.

Animated Sausages.

The vito Of G. W. Alexander, of
Honeybrook, Pa, purchased some
links OF sausage and placed them on a
plate that covered a crock of pickles
in her cellar. She went down the eel
lar to get the sausages to cook. She
had no light, but could see the plate
and the coil of eausages, as she ST D
posed, by the dim light that the celia
window gave. She reached down to
pick the sausages up, when she was
startled to see them uncoil and disap-
pear. She called for the servant to
come down with a light. When the
light arrived Mrs. Alexander discov-
cred snake, about six feet long and
very chunky" Gravity slowly on the
cellar floor She killed it. It had the
links OF sausage inside Of it. The
snake had swallowed the sausage, and,
finding the smooth plate pleasant to
lie on, had curled itself up to wait
until its supper digested.-San Fran

who contracts a debt, mortgages his

Tho Brandy Cigarette.


''TLis is the latest in Boston" said a
man to reporter, in the rotunda of
the Grand Pacific, yesterday, and he
held up q partially rolled cigarette
between the thumb and forehnger of
his right hand.
What to manufacture your own
smokesi"
No; brandy cigarsttes.
Brandy eig@rottesi"
Yes; they're great. I've kcon
mildly intoxicated for six months. and
| haven't tasted q drop OF LIQUOR.
These cigarettes furnish al the hilarity
I desire"
Yes, he continued, as he drew in
a Whit Of gnokO and Les it out ia SEQ
tons between the words, "they beat
drinking all hollow. Ono Of these
cigarettes has moro effect on a person
than q drink Of whisky, so you can
readily see the advantage. They are
less expensive, more palatablo, do not
leave the odor Of tho beverage, and
can be used any time or place with
propriety."
How are they 1avored?" he re-
peated. Take q quantity Of whatever
brand Of tobacco you prefer and place
Ii III jar OF brandy. Let it soak for
short time, Pour off the brandy and
partially dry the tob&cco Put it in a
rubber pouch or anything that viii
retain the moisture. Brandy, you
know, will burn under auy circum-
stances, and burn, brandy is more in
toxicating than tho raw material. Roll
the cigarette out Of the moist tobacco
and you have it.
Just try one" continued the new
kind of drunkard, rolling one of the
deceptive little packages and handing
it to the doubling repcr ter. As if it
were harmless, a match was applied
end the reporter drew in about one
yard Of smoke. That one was enough.
In an instant every nerve seemed to
be unstrung. The head grew light
and dizzy, while the people in the
rotunda suddenly began to stand on
their heads and sit beneath their chairs.
The Boston man, with what looked
like a demoniacal grin, murmured
something about Its being pleasant,
but the reporter went out to cool bis
brow against a lamppost-Chicago

1t does not always require that 6

shrewd guess as to what the weather
will DO some months in advance.
There aIe probabilities, we will not

seasons that arc obvious to every one
who knows the difference between
storm and calm, heat and cold. We
know, for instance, that one extreme
is likely to follow another. II one
winter is extremely cold it is highly
probable 1t will be followed by another
coerespondingly moderate. An unu-
sually cold wave, SO called, will gen
caally be succeeded by a spoil Of

ceasion Of dry seasons, there is sure to
succeed period Of weather to make
mp the deficiency Of rainfall. If any
particular spring is cold and wet and
late, we may generally expect that the
succeeding autumn will be warm and
pleasant, and that winter will be slow
IN coming. II the entire year should
be bad on account OF the excessive
cold or unreasonable storms, the com.
pensation may not come till the next
year, but that it will come in time is

A BuzZard in n Shirt,

Jerry Davis is the name of a little boy who
lives three miles in the country, on the
Greensferry road Like other boys, jerry is
willing to do almost anything for little fun.
Last week he found dead sheep, around
which a number of buzzards were holding
high carnival He determined upon catching
one of the buZzards and at once built a very
large trap. He baited it with the dead sheep
and in a very short time he had captured a
buzzard. He then stole one of his shirts out
of the house and fitted it on the buzzard, cut
ting off the sleeves and putting the birds
wings through the arm holes. He then cut
OFF the front tail of the shirt and sewed the
garment firmly to the buzzard's body, after
which he liberated the bird. With kissing
noise the filthy bird tapped his wings and
few up into the air, the tail of the shirt fut-
tering behind him as he few. About twenty
five CROW took after the strange looking
object, and the buzzard was pecked and
knocked about at a terrible rate. Three or
four days afterward Jerry found the buzzard
a mile away, huddled up against tree, dead
When wash day came Jerry YVES called upon
for his shirt and the story leaked out. His
father was so much amused that he would
not allow the boys mother to whip him.

A man denouncing realism in literature
because it must be filthy, makes himself re-
ally absurd. 1t is proper to reject lola, yes;
not, however, for the reason that he is real
istic in his drawings of character, but be-
cause he is nasty Nature is strong and
grand, and clean and sweet. The dirt of
cities is the dirt of man. The snil and sweep
ings of civilization are as valuGess as chips
of marble that have fallen at the feet of the
sculptor who is chlseling a beautiful statue
They are real but they are not to be pre-
served. Walt Whitman, a good gray crank,
once got so near to nature in his mind that
he thought human beings might do as cattle
do, be Indifferent to publicity and dead to
shame in all acts. He had the soul of poet
and wanted to be beast. OF all things Gre
ated man is nearest to Cod He must look
up. Let him as writer or painter be as
real as he will; but let his realism picture the
real things that are worthy. He need not
turn away from the perfumes of apple bios
SONS in sweet lanes to inhale the foul stencil
OF narrow, crowded alleys in Whitechape
quarters. There is no reason why the realist
should stoop lower than the beautiful roses
that grow along the hedges that he may stir
realistic waters of rotten and reeking gut
tiers. Clear skies and mountain tops are
more enrolling than pickering tallow dips
and basement lodging wretchedneSs, and
quite as realistic. o, you writer's! be real if
you will; be clean if you can,-New Orleans

The "Fittenest" Man,

Hopkins Turney, of Tennessee, was re-
markable man. His career was in most re-
spectS similar to that of Andy johnson. Like
johnson he was apprenticed to a tailor when
young, and only learned to read after be was
of age. At the time of his election to the
United States senate, somewhere in the For
ties, his brother, Tom Turney, man Of lin
tied education but of fine abilities, was
speaker of the popular branch of the legisla-
tQre, and voted for his brother. This, in
Tennessee, at that time, was thought to be a
breach Of propriety, and some members of
the body over which Tom presided took him
to task for it. He bore their structures for
some time in silence, and then arose to de-
fend himself, saying that there was great
mistake about the matter, that he did not
vote for Hop because he was his brother, at
all, but he voted for him because he was
the most fittenest man for the place. "-San
Francisco Argonaut.
