European Game Fish to Be introduced
Into American Waters.
The fly fishermen Of the United States
have new pleasure before them. A
fish not hitherto known in America is to
be introduced this year, and there is
every reason to believe that it will
thrive and multiply wonderfully. The
fish is the European sea trout, salmo
tFntta, q fish well known and abundant
in England. While the sea trout is
saltwater fish. it inhabits land-locked
fresh waters and thrives there. OF its
characteristics as game fish one writer,
Mr.. Pennell, says:
There is no fish that swims which
will rise so boldly at the fly, or which,
when hooked, shows for its size such in
domitable pluck, such gallant and de-
termined courage. 1t is the most game
and mettlesome fish known to Europe.
or probably to the world"
David Foster says also that the sea
trout exceeds for gameness and per-
tinacity every other British fish,"
Ia the summer of 1889 an American
angler who fished in Scoth waters for a
time wrote letter to Shooting and
Fishing telling what great larks he had
with the sea trout The editor of the
paper became so much interested in the
nsh through this letter that he datar.

GOODBYE.

There's kind o. chilly feelin' in the BLOWN
o. the breeze,
And sense of sadness stealin' through the
tresses o. the trees;
And mist seems fallin' dreary on the mount
aims towerin' high.
And feel my cheeks grow teary as bid You
all good -byei
Goodbye" the winds are sayin'; ''good.
bye" the trees complain,
AS they bend low down an whisper with
their green leaves wet with rain;
Goodbye" the roses murmur, an the
bendin' lilies sigh
As If they all felt sorry have come to say
goodbye.
Ireckon all have said 1t some time or other
soft
And easy like, with eyes cast down, that
dared not look aloft
For the tears that trembled In them-for the
lips that choked the sigh,
When IL came a-swelln' from the heart an
made 1t beat good-byei
didn't think twas hard to say; but standin'
here alone,
With the pleasant past behind me and the
future dim, unknown,
A gloomin' yonder in the dark-the tears
come to my eyes,
And I'm weepin' like a woman as 1 bid you
all goodbye.
The work I've done Is with you may be some
things went wrong,
Like note that mars the music in the sweet
flow of a song;
But, brethren-when you think of me, 1 only
ask you would
Say as the Master said of one: "He hath done
what he could"
And when you sit together in the time as yet
to be,
BY your love enc!rcled fresides in the val
leys fair and free,
Let the sweet past come before you, and
with something like "a sigh,
Just say: 1--WE amt forgot him since the day
he said Good. Dyer"

The Prussian landtag has been con-

the Prussian schools and the pressing

teachers has caused tremendous in

No woman ever fingered with such low

as often as will man over the kind of
soap he uses, or the proclivity Of his
shirt-front to bulge out and give him a
feminine bust. Naturally, it does not
take man as long to buy a hat as it
does a woman, but then he doesn't have

white Adriatics; they produce excellent

packed, compare favorably with the

derstood in this State that fig trees
should begin to bear in their second
year, and should yield a full crop in
their fourth. But in Smyrna the best
trees which produce the fig of COM

are eight or ten years Oil We are so
impatient people that many fig grow

In figs, as in every kind of fruit, we
must, If we want to succeed, produce
the best and nothing but the
best. The second best is not worth
growing at all. There are grocers at
the East who deal in imported figs.

sample rooms drums of beautiful
clear, luscious-looking Smyrna fruit,
and beside them bags of small. black

every one looks out for himself; but it
will be our fault if in few years from

we are beating the Spaniards in raisins

United States imports, one year within
another, 10000, 900 pounds of dried figs
annually from Europe. There is con-
stantly increasing demand for the fruit.
The medicinal properties, which were
known to the old practitioners, are now
better realized than they used to be.
Periodical use of the dried fig, either in
the shape of pudding or a dessert
fruit, is a preservation against many
annoying maladies. When Californ ia is
able to ship 1000 or 5000 tons of dried
hgs each winter to the East, the con-
sumption will probably be larger than
it is.
