A BIG FISH DINNER.
A Michigan Man Swallows 200 Pike With
ont Inconvenience.

A Michigan Man Swallows 200 Pike With
ont Inconvenience.
The Michigan Fish Commissions car At
tikumaig. which is now travelling about the
State stocking lakes and streams, was at
tached to the Grand Trunk train leaving
Lansing west-bound at 10 A. NJ Friday,
says the Detroit Tribune. J. W. Powers
was in charge, and, recognizing some per-
sonal friends in the adjoining passenger
car, he nodded quietly to them and invited
them into the Attikumaig, where he ex-
planned the work of the commission. He
opened one of the ice boxes and showed
them number of cans such as are used for
the transportation of milk imbedded in the
ice. Taking a small tumbIer he dipped out
little of the contents of one and showed
his visitors about 200 wall-eyed pike that
had been Matched only two days before.
The fish were about the size of a pin head,
but were as active as a lot of crickets.
When the last had inspected it he handed
IL back to Mr.. Powers, and just then
Grand Army man in full regalia entered the
car. Mr.. Powers thought that he was one
Of the party, and extended the glass to him.
He took it, held it up to the light as the
others had done, while a "don 't-mind-if-I-
do" smile played over his features Just
then the train started and the stranger sud-
denly said "Thanks," and before anyone
realized what was on his mind swallowed
the contents of the tumbler at a single pulp
and sprang from the train. The crowd ran
out to see him, standing on the platform
staring after the car in open-mouthed aston
ishment. Somebody remembered having
seen him gazing into the car while the
tumbler was being passed around, and then
somebody else remembered that the LIQUID
in the glass looked very much like gin.
"Well," said Mr.. Powers, "he didn't get
as badly left as he might, after all, for 200
wall-eyed pike is the biggest fish dinner for
one that ever heard of"

Rewarded for Restoring Diamonds That He
Could Not Pawn.
There was an occurrence not long ago in
the city of Minneapolis, says the st. Paul
Globe, which we'll illustrated the making OF
virtue necessity and profting thereby. A
lady, than whose name there is none better
known in the theatrical world, was playing
an engagement at the Grand. She stopped,
of course. at the West. One day she was
engaged in looking over her wardrobe, or a
portion OF it in her room. and, being busy.
had her luncheon sent to her room. When
it came her stage diamonds, made of the
purest paste, were scattered about on the
table, among them being q large cross
heavily set with sparkling diamonds n
caught the eye Of the waiter who brouobt mn
the tray, and, BY little juggling with his
napkin, he secured it.
He rushed downtown as soon as possible
to. in vulgar parlance, "hock" it. but
found that he could raise but so cents on
it. He was smooth guy" SO he has
tened back TO the hotel, only to find that the
lady had departed for the matinee perform
aDce To the theater he went, and, securing
admission at the stage entrance on pressing
business from Miss -, - Hotel. {" he
found the lady and restored to her the dia-
mond cross, which, he plausibly set forth,
had become entangled in napkin. She
had never even missed the ornament, but
she was so delighted with the fellows hon.
esty that she bestowed on him a S5 bill.
This is tTpe story, and one which will not
be incorporated among those in the Sunday
school books under the title ''The Reward
of Honesty"

OF ART.

h Extent to which Artistic Taste En-.
tiers Into Everyday Life.
People rarely stop to think how large
ly art today enters into the cOmmonest
things of life. The dwelling houses,
carpets. wallpaper. furniture of all
kinds, and even the utensils OF the
kitchen, make some pretenses to the
aesthetic, either in design or in material.
The very coal-scuttle CLEANS with the
conscious intelligence Of being some
thing more than . mere convenient ar
rangemcnt Of iron or brass. Books have
entirely changed their character under
the influence of the demand for the
beautiful as we'll as the instructive.
The plain, dingy. awkward bindings Of
the last generation have given place to
countless attractive designs and har-
monious colors- Type and arrangement
are more pleasing to the eye, while the
illustrations have improved beyond all
possibility of comparison with the rude
drawings of fifty years ago. Moreover.
this facility in conveying a meaning
with the pencil as we'll as with the pen
has given rise to the use of art in
politics. The comic political cartoon
has become more powerful in explain
ing . situation or pointing a dangerous
consequence than the weightiest edi-
torial article. The editor appeals to the
understanding only, while the cartoon
list invades the mind through the eye
and the sense of humor as well as the
reason. His argument is evident At .
glance to the dullest or the most care
less observer. Nobody can remark this
extraordinary and Widespread advance
in the realization Of what form and color
really mean without coming to the con-
clusion hat before MANY years have
passed the United States will have
overtaken the older countries Of Europe
in matters Of art Good material has
not been found wanting. The con-
s.antly-growing ability on the part Of
the public to appreciate will turn to the
advantage Of painting and sculpture. 1t
will react upon the artists, and the
standard will be raised. It is not ex-
trayagant 70 hope that within the next
twenty years America may produce a
school OF artists who shall Outstrip their
French or Dutch masters, and that the
coming generation may even see French
students coming to New York to study.
