An Amusi ing Fish Story.

Speaking of fishing, reminds me of an
amusing little Incident that occurred in my
family last spring. My wife shares with me
passion for fishing, and during the season
we frequently take boat and row out to the
mouth of the river to fish for pike and white
bass with minnows. Some INSCRIPTIONS
person has told my wife that male fish will
not bite hook held by man, and vice versa
so that one lovely evening toward the last OF
June, when we had dropped our anchor on
our accustomed fishing ground, l said /:
"Now, my darling, we will soon see whether
there is more he or she fish in the creek"
We had hardly assumed the easiest possible
position to await bites when my wife in her
accustomed energetic manner, succeeded in
landing two pound white bass. She did
not say First blood" women are 30 funny,
you know, but am sure she thought il.
A weary half hour dragged away. No

off, and pulled up to see. While adjusting
the bait mean but brilliant idea presented
| itselfto newly not catch her fish over
again? As her back was partly turned, and
she was intent on fishing the plan seemed
feasible. l put her poor little he bass on my
hook and slid him gently in. had hardly
got my line out before l pulled it in again.

Well, when we came to string those fish

Tobacco Chewing Ministers.

When Rev. DIR. Tiffany, of Minneapolis,
preached in Chicago his brethren all knew
he loved the fine cut, because he made no Sc
cret of the chewing habit. He was regular
attendant at those Monday morning "minis-
ter's meetings" which the average reporter
hates, but which are really enjoyable on &C.
count of the bright sayings and clever with
csms of preachers who do not think they
are forbidden to indulge in hearty laugh
because they occupy a pulpit. When DR..
Tiffany was participant in these meetings
the tobacco habit came up for discussion one
morning. A well known bishop was presid-
ing. One after another the brethren arose
and condemned the use of tobacco in any
form. Then one of them, during lull, said
he would like to hear DR.. Tiffany's ideas on
the subject. The big doctor arose. II chew
tobacco" he said, land you all know it.
Now, would like to have all those who do
not use tobacco rise in their Seats" There
was grand uprising. Remain standing,
please" said the doctor, as he looked over
the cadaverous men standing before him.
"Will those who use tobacco please step for
ward herep" he said, and q half dozen sleek
looking parsons walked up and Joined him.
"Stand up, bishop; you're chewer," he aid
to the presiding divine, and he Joined the
group. DR.. Tiffany then looked over the
thin fellows who tabooed tobacco, turned to
the healthy looking men around him and
said: Brethren, ! think we are doing pref

Fortune Played Them a Trick.

Fortune is a slippery jade. A New York
Mail and Erpress writer heard the other day
of shabby trick she played several gentle
men, among whom were no less noted
personages than two ex-Governors of Massa-
chusetts, Butler and Rice. A chemist nam
I'd Fell, residing in New York, had made q
most remarkable discovery, which was ap-
parently destined to revolutionize the leath-
er industry. In experimenting with tung-
state of soda, he had applied it to blotting pa
per, and the result was substance ike leath-
er possessing the same hard, yet elastic con-
sistencY and practically indestructible.
A company was organized, and fortunes
seemed to be within easy reach of all con-
cerned. Presently the experiments ceased.
The chemists supply of tuDgstate had all run
out. A new consignment from Mr.. Quettier
the dealer, did not produce the same effect.
Repeated trials failed to revive the success
of the first. The tungstate was analysed and
found to be pure. Then small portion OF
the old supply was scraped from the box in
which it had been kept, and that was sent
exclusively to Profs. Dorenus, Feuchtwan-
ger and Ennis to be analysed. They found
in it foreign substances and residuum OF
alum.
The first specimen had been imported from
Germany, the second was domestic. Then
$4,000 was offered to the dealer if he could
secure fresh supply of the same quality as
the first. This he undertook to do, but
somehow failed. A Mr.. Murphy was sent
abroad to visit the German firm of manufac-
turers from whom the impure tungstate had
been received. While he was on the Allan
tic the factories OF the German house were
burned to the ground. They were never re-
built.
that, too, an impurty, big discovery and a
magnificent fortune in prospective have gone
gimmering. Europe has been searched in
vain for trace of the chemical mixture, and
all that is left of the golden dream for the
stockholders to gaze upon are a few pieces

Youth is the enchanted land to which the
aged flee. They visit the old house where
they were born in their reveries they sit by
the cheerful fire. they smell the roses at their
chamber window, they hear the swallows
and buebirds ; the family are still united,
there are the familiar voices, songs and
laughter, the footballs, the merry life that
used to fill all, indoors and out, SO long ago.
They never tire of the old adventures, the
fiery purposes, the love markings, weddings,
produced-the shadows all gone; and the
light of youth and hope and joy shining SO

The Professors Equanimi y.

There is no man in Cornell university
about whom better stories are told than Pro-
fessor Hiram Corson, the Shakesperian stu
dent professor of literature. He has a pecu-
liarly slow, drawing manner of speaking. 1t
happened not SO very long ago that Ithaca
was visited by very high wind that came
suddenly during the night, blowing down
trees, tearing off the roofs OF houses, and cut
ting up such other capers as are usually the
accorded privileges of high wind. The pro-
lessor was living in Cascadilla, the big DOR
mitory. The first intimation he and his wife
had of the hurricane was when one of the
big stone chimneys was blown over and went
crashing down through the skylight. The
professors wife was in an agony of terror,
and, getting up from bed, began to make
hasty preparations for leaving the building,
all the while beseeching her husband, who
had not yet stirred, to come out and assist.
All at once, with frightful noise, the great
tin roof of the building was torn off by the
wind. With scream Mrs. Corson said to
her complacent spouse "Oh, Hiram, come,
do come. The last day has surely come"
And the only response she got was the
drawling inquiry: "What, in the night 7"

miserable, a man approached him, sat down

they will run hm?''

to know more strangers than any maH l ever

How Advertisements Are Read.

A curious thing is the difference there is
between advertising for women and men.
For man an advertisement must be short
and to the point. 1t ought to treat OF but
one subject and be written tersely as pos
sible. Men read advertisements on the
jump; they seldom deliberately sit down to
go through the advertisements in paper.
For the women, on the contrary, you can
put in as much detail as you please; once
woman is attracted to an advertisement she
will read it all through no matter how long
it is or how fine the type is. Then there
is no use putting an advertisement for man
in Sunday paper. If you make it big
enough to be seen in one of those enormous
sheets it will be too long to be read by
man. An ordinery advertisement such as
would attract him in week day paper is
buried in the great Sunday editions. But
you can take a page on Sunday and be GER
tain that the women will look for it and read
it all through carefully. Thousands of them
buy the papers, and especially the Sunday
papers, for no other thing than TO read the
advertisements. The big dry goods houses
know that, and that is why they all use the
SUNDAY papers so freely.

Think OF Others.

Much as We treat the world will the world
treat US. kind sympathetic heart in your
own bosom will surely call out goodness and
friendiness from others. 1t is mistake TO
expect to receive welcome, hospitality, words
of cheer and help over rugged and difficult
passes in life, in return for cold sel6shness,
which cares for nothing in the world but
self. Cultivate consideration for the feelings
of other people if you would never have your
own injured. Those who complain most of
ill-usage are the ones who abuse themselves
and others the Oftenest. sar.r

WILL PASS AWAY
BY MARGARET MORAY LACKEY


OF all the proberbs, quaint and sweet,
That burdened souls Sc gently greet,
AS some wise voice from ancient clay,
There sure is none in whose belief
The worn heart finds such sweet relief
As Even this will pass away!'
When weary hands from early dawn
Till frightening eve must labor on,
And know not surceaSe day by day;
How gladly comes the sweet refrain,
That echoes DER and DER again,
This, even this will pass away"
When burdens that are hard to bear
Would sink the soul in black despair,
And whitening lips refuse to pray;
Faiths lovely face cen then will glow.
And sweet her voice that whispers low,
But even this will pass away"
When earth to earth and dust to dust
Is read above our hearts best trust,
And we in anguish turn away:
The bitter cup less bitter seems,
When through its dregs the bright truth CLEANS
That even this will pass away.
Yea, even this! With grief profound
We stand beside the new made mound,
And long to greet the coming day.
When weary feet have found rest,
When hands are folded Fer the breast,
And all life's woes have passed away
