A QUESTIONABLE DODGE.

1t has become so common of late to
regale the public with such very in
teresting stories about one or another
"curious incident" which stories al
ways end in some humbug ADVERTISE
ment scheme, that one rarely ever
knows whether he can spend time in
reading any newspaper statement
whatever. The unlicensed extent to
which such practices are being carried
would seem to call for law to sup
press the use of the public prints for
purposes of deception, for what bet
ter is it in morals to take mans
time under false pretences than to
take his money? Let everybody es-
chew all such lodges and patroniz-

Uncle Sam X Co.

From the New York Ledger.
A great firm, this. Can the world
show a greater? We think not. Look
at its God-given capital. \ soil full
of mineral wealth and the rich basis
of agricultural prOsperity great water
courses running from its agricultural
and mineral centres to the sea; foun-
tains of oil spouting up in its midst,
and literally raining riches on large
tracts of the territory; vast forests OF
the finest timber in the world; all the
varieties of climate necessary for the
production of nearly all the products
of the earth; immense in land seas,
affOrding facilities for a domestic
commerce almost equal to that
which its far-eXtended cOast-line Sc
cures to it on two great Oceans-these
are its resources, or rather a part of
them, for the grand schedule can not
be compressed into a paragraph.
Then look at the firm itself. A people
energetic, enterprising, self-reliant,
shrewd and brave, living under a
government that gives the largest
scope to their capabilities. True,
there has been trouble in the house at
times; but the firm of Uncle Sam d
Co., is a young firm and Il vigorous
one, and the old concerns of Europe
are fast accepting the idea of its vital
ity and indOmitability.

Massacre Of Chinese in Form osa.

Massacre of Chinese in Form Osa.
London Times.
The last mail from China bring
news of the massacre of force of
Chinese troops in Southern Formosa
by the aborigines now in revolt there.
The natives, or savages as they
are called, aided, it is said, by a
number of half castles, planned
az arnbuscade, Putting on their
sandals reversed they made
number of tracks connected with a
particular spot. Messengers were
then dispatched to the nearest Chinese
post with news of an outbreak and an
appeal for assistance. The troops
went out, the commanding officers, it
is said, being considerably in the rear.
Pretended sufferers by the raid APP
peared from time to time, On reach
ing the tracks the soldiers followed
them up and fell into the trap, when
all but a very few were killed. Out
of 200 which left the post only ten es-
capped. 1t is reported that, for the first
time in the history of FormOsa, all the
aboriginal tribes are banded together
and act on an organized system. Thus
the eighteen tribes of BhOtans in the
South, numbering about 5000 warriors,
were concerned in this ambush.
Shortly after the disaster the Chinese
issued proclamations offering $40 re-
ward for the return of each OF the
guns lost on the occasion. and subse-
auently the Chinese general began
negotiations, in which he was greatly
hampered by the bad faith shown on
many previous occasions to the ma
tlves. At last and with many pre-
cautions on the part of the latter,
meeting was arranged, and a peace
was patched up for the time by
means of large presents and larger
promises to the chiefs. The past is
to be forgotten, and the savages are
to live on terms of friendship with
their Chinese neighbors. From sub
sequent information, however, it ap-
pears that the disturbances in the
south of the Island have broken out
with more violence than before.

some of the pieces This alone often
makes wonderful change, besides in
some cases causing the carpet to be
worn more evenly.
If your sofa stood by the wall during
the winter, place it corner-wise this
season. A large easy chair and fancy
table may take the old place of the sofa.
Avoid bare corner in your room. A
table with few selected pieces of brio
a-brac upon it will look well here. In
my sitting room, in what was once
dull corner, stands one of the pretty
cabinets now so often seen, hung with
dainty curtains of plush, lined with
satin. The shelves are filed with books

BIG MOUTH BASS.

northern lakes comes pouring down the
main channel of the Flats, which is al
together too frigid for the comfort of
the bass. The johnson and Sny Carte
channels. being small, escape this icy
outpour, and, as the surrounding water
keeps warm, the bass crowd over there
and remain until the water in the main
channel begins to warm up, when they
come out"
"Are there any marked differences in
bass?'
"In general way they are divided
into two classes called big and small
mouth bass, and no one should jump to
the conclusion that the big mouth
variety are the best biters. On the
contrary the bass with the small mouth
is the fish that the angler delights in.
That is the fish that runs away with all
your line and tests the capacity of your
rod. The big mouth bass lacks the
fighting qualities of his cousin, and
bears about the same resemblance to
him that perch does to a trout. The
big mouth bass is usually found in in
land lakes, while the small mouthed
fighters seek the cooler and deeper
streams. He is fond of currents and
eddies, and seems to delight in lying
close against bluff bank, where he will
seize unsuspecting minnows that come
his way"
'As to the bait for bass flshing?"
"The bait principally used is called the
club, but in reality it is only the young
black sucker, which can be found in
great quantities in the rivers. The
genuine black head club, which is
caught only in inland lakes, is the best
bait. Take one about two and one-half
inches in length, continually wiggling,
and 1t will tempt the palate of the most
blase bass. The crawfish is also good
bait, but only for riley water, as the

bass, for some inexplicable reason, win

small green frog is also very tempt
ing bait A singular thing about bass
is that they never bite after long run
of clear water. I suppose the reason is
that they can see the minnows, and put in
all their time chasing schools of bait
minus hook attachment. An experienced
fisherman always waits until there
has been a heavy wind, which rifles the
water, and just as soon as it begins to
clear he casts his bait, and is pretty
sure of heavy catch"

An angler usually requires about one

and the sneckbend hook is held in great
favor. AS to the rod, that is also to a

subject of fish, says the Detroit Free
Press. For twelve years he has caught
and studied them in that famous fishing
grounds, the St. Clair Flats, and has a
very comprehensive knowledge of the
habits and peculiarities OF the fish
hooked in those waters. The law in re-
gard to bass fishing reads that they
''may be caught at any time, but only
with hook and line" The above may be
somewhat misleading to ambitious an
glers. Ii should have read that ''bass
may be fished for at any time" Catching
them is an entirely different matter.
The angler, however, who is not willing
to expend time and trouble in hauling
in black bass is not deserving of bite.
"What time in the spring do the bass
begin biting?" was asked of Mr.. Slocum.

bass have been known as early as May
