The Seizure OF the American Fisher
man Hattie Evelyn.

The seizure Of the American fish.
ing schooner Hattie Evelyn At the Bay OF
ST. George, New Foundland, 10 brought tc
the attention of the Senators by Steele, the
president of the American Fishery Union
The statement that Steele forwarded from
Gloucester shows that the schooner wen,
into the Bay of St. George for the sole
purpose of purchasing bait. The payment
of SIG for lighthouse dues ~as demanded,
and made under protest. The captain wa.
notified that he could not purchase bait un.
I'll he procured license therefor 1t an ex
pense of s65. He protested against this iu
vain. but was compelled to go elsewhere in
search of bait. His plea that under the
treaty of 1918 he WAS entitled to purchase
bait was without avail.
The Senator who had occasion to look
up the law in connection with such cases
says that ample remedy for such outrages
is lodged in the hands of the President.
The act Of June 10. 1856. amending the
law relative to shipping commissioners,
etc. recites that whenever any foreign
country whose vessel is placed on the same
footing in the Ports Of the | nited States As
American vestels. shall deny any vessel of
the United States any commercial privi-
lege accorded National vessels in such for
ign country, the President is authorized
TO issue a proclamation, excluding from
the ports of this country vessels of such
foreign country from the exercise Of com
mercial rights. denied vessels of the nit
ed States. By the act of March 3, 1897. in
the case of denial or abritlgement of rights
secured by the treaty in ports of British
North America to American vessels, the
President is authorized to deny Canadian
States.

HOW A LITTLE MONEY Is SOMETIMES
MADE.

The high mountains in North Carolina
and Tennessee are unlike the A~dirondacks
in having no Lakes. But they have rivers
a-plenty, slender streams beginning in
springs, which then go racing and tumb-
ing in falls and cascades down the noun
tains, growi ing in size all the way. until
they empty finally into the Gulfo Mexico,
or further north into the Atlantic Ocean,
according to the side of the s'divide,' the
very backbone of the Blue Ridge, which
they chance to he on. These rivers are
the homes of beautiful trout, gorgeously
colored, but the average boy who goes mp
to rave a good, cool time in his summer
vacation and to fish, wonders at the very
outset what he is to do for bait, for after
digging a square yard of ground over-if
he has that much patience-he has not
found a solitary angle-worm!
So the mountain boy-the young mount
ainere-owing to the scarcity of earth
worms, has the chance to earn an honest
penny or two by supplying worm-bait
itOti ouiO ooto bCt0l IN W.
He hunts for worms under the loose bark
on rail fences, and decayiBg trees, and
when he finds a hornets nest full OF Larvae
l. is a small fortune, for he can readily get
twenty five-cents for it-twenty five cents
is as much to him as a full dollar to a city
lad. He also knows where true angle
worms can be found-in the decaying
straw and manure thrown out from stables,
and two dozen angle worms are worth at
least twenty-five cents.
Another way which the mountain-boy
has of earning money-but all the way if
counted would be very few-is in selling
the skins of the rattlesnakes he may kill.
Whatever other boys might feel about
skinning a snake, the mountain-boy doesn't
mind it in the least; and when the beauti-
fully notified skin with the string of rat
ties at the end left on is we'll off, he thinks
no more of handling it than he would that
Of a squirrel. For a good skin, taken off
SO carefully as not to be torn, he can get
half a dollar. After it is Ia nned it is worth
| three times as much. One method he
employs in curing it is to make a paste of
| powered alum, salt, flour and water; this
is spread on the inside Of the skin which is
out open the entire length of the under
side. After three or four days this paste
is so:aped off and the skin is stretched IN
a Dos I'd and tackled to keep it in place.
When fully dried this skin is considered
cured.
In skinning a RATHER the head of course
is first taken off as a precaution against
being bitten. When near the tail, the boy
comes upon two stout muscles to which
even the skin is attached, and these run
down to the r%attles, and it is through
them that the rattles are shaken. Beside
wishing to have a skin as a curio, the per-
sons who buy them use them for a variety
of purposes-some for waist belts, for um-
brella cases and even for shoe tops. 1t
seems a very curious and horrid taste,
unless one thinks hat the rattlesnake skin
is quite as coed to wear as that of the alli-
gator.-M. W. r. in july Vide Aoake.
