SHE GAN FISH.
Mrs. Brownell, of. Bath, Kills an Eight
Pound Salmon Trout Scientifically.

Mrs. BrownelI, of. Bath, Kills an Eight
Pound Salmon Trout Scientifically.
Few women include in their summer
outing outfit fishing rods and an extensive
selection of tackle. Prominent among
the few who do is Mrs. Brownell, OF
Bath. Her rods and tackle are chosen
with special care as to quality, and are
not carried as an ornamental appurte-
nance, but for real practical use.
Mrs. Brownell is an enthusiastic and
scientific angler. She has the record
this season of killing the only salmon
trout ever taken in Keuka lake on six
ounce rod. Salmon trout ordinarily lie
In the deepest water, and the regulation
tackle is n heavy hand line and troll, or
a stiff rod rugged with heavy line and
gang of ten hooks, on which is impaled
small fish known as the saw belly.
This bait is a fish with glittering scales,
and is attached to the hook dead,
The rig is known as the Seth Green
gang, Seth Green having introduced it
among the Keuka lake fishermen. 1t is
trolled, like the spoon, in deep water
with heavy lead attached to the line,
which is let out from two to three hun
dred feet.
Mrs. Brownell was fishing for black
bass near Gibson's, using live bait. She
had landed number of bass, when she
had strike that surprised her, She had
hooked the fish, and instantly knew that
1t was not bass she had fastened, for it
dashed furiously for the deep water to-
ward the middle of the lake. Although
1t was an almost unheard of thing for
salmon trout to be feeding In the water
where she was fishing, she was con-
WINGED that this was salmon trout that
she had hooked, and she quickly gov
erned herself accordingly. Her husband
was with her IN the boat, and started
from his seat to assist her, but she quiet
ly told him that she wanted to get that
fish, and consequently the best thing he
could do was not to get in her way.
There are few anglers, no matter how
experienced, who could have success
fully handled, with such light tackle,
the tugging, struggling, dashing fish
that was doing its best 10 tow Mrs.
Brownell and her boat out into the lake,
|. but she manipulated the fish with such
skill that with all his strength and Gun.
ming he failed TO catch her of her guard,
50 that he could snap the delicate line
and leader TO which the elastic rod and
its mastery handling alone gave suffi.
Gent strength to hold him. The fish
fought for half an hour, and then gave
up. Mrs Brownell reeled him TO the
boat, and lifted him over the side with
her own hands,
The fish was splendid specimen OF
the salmon trout, and when laid out in
the boat stretched from one side of il &c
the other. The trout weighed nearly
eight pounds, and would have been q
prize that the sturdiest angler with the
regular unbreakable salmon trout tackle
would have made his boast for days
Mrs. Brownel took the honors Of hel
catch modestly, and finished the day by
killing a number Of humping blacl
bass. .-Hammondsport Cor. New Yorl

1t is interesting to read her majesty's
opinion of her grandchild, now Kaiser
Wilhelm II, when he was a baby.
Atthe baptismal functions neither Prince
Albert nor the queen was able to be
present, and the latter, in her own pecu-
liar style, wrote to her uncle, King Leo
pold of the Belgians, as follows: "Oh,
uncle! it almost breaks my heart not to
witness our dear first grandchild's chris
tening. l don't think ever felt SO dis
appointed. And then it is an occasion
30 gratifying to both nations, and brings
them 80 much together" The queens
introduction to her first grandchild took
place about some twenty months later,
when she wrote; He is such a little
love! He came walking in at Mrs
Hobbs (his nurse) hand, In little white
dress with black bows, and was SO good.
He is fine fat child, with beautiful
white, soft skin. n."-London Standard.

Silver Point Sketching.

Mr.. Charles Sainton is hard at work at
his silver point sketches, which are to be
exhibited at Dowdeswelfs next October.
Forty pictures will berequired altogether,
and the artist is about half way through
already. A silver points simply sketch
made on prepared paper, with bit of
silver mounted in holder in lieu of bit
of lead. The effect is extremely delicate,
and many of Mr.. Sainton's portraits look
like faces seen in dream. The study of
this art is said to be deeply absorbing,
and it possibly owes some of its fascina-
ton from the extreme care requisite in
its execution. Erasure is impossible, and
false step can never be retrieved. Mr..
Saintons sketches are varied in charac-
ter, and the select party of friends who
were recently invited to view his work
at his studio were much delighted at the
delicate effect Of the pictures, all set off
by white enamel frames.
A large decorative sketch of nymph
floating over o. limpid lake, followed by
fairy sprite, was exceedingly well com
posed, and there were PORTRAITS of society
beauties and heads of artists models.
But by far the most effective thing in the
whole collection was the danseuses,
sketched from memory at the Empire.
The medium is particularly suited to the
transparent draperies, fairy like effects,
and the graceful figures, with their float
ing skirts and star crowned hair, are
beautifully brought out against soft
shaded background. We may safely
predict great success for Mr.. Sainton's
exhibition, which will probably revive a
taste for this fascinating art.-London

A singular case was tried in Justice
Patrick's court, two Italians, Martin
Petreck and Santos Ccrdova, being prin-
cipals. Cordova was the self assumed
guardian of a pretty, dark eyed Italian
girl. He clothed and educated her, and
intended some day to make her his wife.
About April Petreck appeared upon
the scene and also fell in love with the
maiden, and proposed marriage, but the
young lady told him that Santos had
claim on her affections. Petreck asked
Santos what he would take for love and
affections. He set the price at $3.50, and
bargain was made. Petreck paid Cor
dova $50 in cash and gave him note
for 500, payable in two years, for which
consideration Cordova gave up all claim
to the maiden.
Petreck was not as happy after the
transfer as he expected to be. The
maiden did not lavish upon him the
same affection that she had shown San
tos Cordova. He got tired Of the bar
gain and wanted to trade back. He
finally secured the note for 500, but
Cordova was obstinate as to the $50
which had been paid in cash. A suit
was the result, The court decided that
an illegal contract had been made, the
terms of which could not be enforced
Cordova won the suit, and the plaintiff
had to pay the costs. The maiden thinks
Petreck had mercenary motive in the
affection, and still clings to Cordova, her
first love.-Tacoma Cor. st. Paul Pioneer

The Japan Weekly Mail, In a recent
issue, observes that the empress of Japan
has long shown an extreme interest in
all the charitable institutions OF Toxic
which are devoted to women and chill
dren. Especially Is this ths case in re,
gard to the Toxic Female hospital, which
has proved 30 useful to the poorer classes
in the capital that larger premises be-
came necessary, while the funds were in
sufficient for the purpose, Her majesty
cast about for some methods of giving
effectual assistance to the institution,
and at last decided that she could best
do 30 by exercising strict economy In her
personal expenditure and devoting what
could be spared to the hospital. As the
result OF one years saving, her majesty
has just bestowed sum of 8, ,446 yen, 90
sen and . rim on the institution. This
amounts TO about $500, A sen Ia
equivalent 20 halfpenny, and contains
10 rim. "There Is something pictur-
esque," observes The Mail, 'about these
sen and rim. They represent an account
infinitely and faithfully kept between
her majesry's unavoidable expenses and
the benevolent impulse that constantly
urged her 20 ourtail them. Such gracious
acts of sterling effort command admira-
tion and love"

The Great Chocolate Makers.

The reaping and other agricultural ma
chimes shown at the Paris exhibition have
been tested on the great farm, at Noisiel,
of Nine. Menier, the head of the choco-
late making house, she having put her
land and harvests at the disposal of the
jury. The mandatory at Noisiel turns
out about 10000, 900 pounds of chocolate
year. The tin paper with which the
cakes are covered costs 800, 900 per an
mum, and the work of wrapping up the
cakes gives employment to 600 women.
The Meniers have their own railway to
meet the main line; they have their own

A terrible carnage of cats has been
organized at Corbeli, not far from Paris.
Two persons living in the town were Bit
ten by local "tabby," which was de-
clared rabid by a veterinary surgeon,
whereupon the destruction of the town
pussies en- masse was decreed by the in
habitants. 1t is to be hoped, however,
that the good people who have organ
lied the massacre will be brought to
their senses before they pave the way for
plague of rats and mice, a contingency
to which their present wild and extraor-
dinary conduct would seem to point. In
the meantime the victims of the ''rabid

A remarkable and disastrous plague to
stock is now raging in Daviess county.
Ind. During the last few weeks a num-
Der of farmers in various parts Of that
county have lost some of their finest
horses. An investigation as 10 the cause
Of the strange occurrences brought TO
light what seems an incredulous state of
affairs, but has proved an absolute fact.
II was found that ticks are actually kill
ing horses, which the pests attack in
great swarms, and suck the blood from
the animal until II is helpless and is re-
neved of its sufferings by death. Exam
nations show that the pests eat their
way through the hide into the flesh. II
is thought the ticks were brought by the
Texas ponies, which have been sold here
In the last few months. The ticks at.

Another insect pest that has developed
to an unusual extent this summer is the
flea. Fleas are as plentiful here now as
they are in California, where they led
John Phoenix years ago to prescribe as
the only protection or cure a coating of
coal tar, applied warm to the whole body
and patched from time to time when it
cracked ut the joints. In Brooklyn they.
! hear, have a theory that the large
Italian immigration is responsible for
the present prevalence of the flea. In
certain sections of this city the affliction
is laid TO the Cinnamon. / am inclined
10 think, however, that the weather has
something 10 do with 1t, This summer
has been a combination of rain and
roast, mostly rain. The rain breeds the
mosquitoes. The heat breeds the feas.
Consequently, as we have had more
rainy than hot weather, we have more
mosquitoes than fleas.--New York News.
