A Thirty-eight Founder.

From ION the st. Lawrence" of CT aytou, NY
Yesterday George b. Carter and w. A. Nit
chell of Washington, D. c.. passed the day on
the water and cams back with the white flag
floating from q staff in the bow Of the boat.
the signal that muscallonge had been cap
tured. A member Of the staff was in company
with the victors and shared the honors in
another boat. and q moro exciting play may
not be his lot to see in many day. The vic
tors were trolling and Mr.. Carter announced a
strike, at which Mr.. Mitchell joked. The short
pole bent slowly as if the hooks had snagged.
Then the line spun out sidewise and Mr. Carter
excitedly began to pull in. The line slipped
through his fingers and made the water fly
Mr.. Mitchell stood up. The guide sat him
down as the line was put in his hands. He
pulled in about twenty feet, lost his hold and
the line spun out rs il shot from gun Again
MIR. Carter caught up the line and, facing the
game began pulling in the line vigorously, the
boat rocking furiOusly meantime.
"Holp, help! Mitch" he hoarsely WHISPERED.
and in a moment the two Washingtonians were
tumbling over each other in their efforts to get
the game alongside. The big fellow shot out
into the air full ten feet. and this paralyzed
the two fishers that again the line fell free and
spun over the vale like streak Of smoke.
"Benp'
'Mitch!''
The guide caught up the receding line and
dextrousy brought the game home, and pass
ing the line back he reached for club and
scoop. The muscallonge was getting winded
and SO was his captors, but the plucky fellow
gave a lunge and passed under the boat. Mr..
Mitchell was only kept from taking header
after the fish by MIR. Carriers holding to his
belt At this the guide, swearing he would
drown them both, sat them down again, hatless
and in a flood of perspiration.
Save him and there is $5-s1O-s15 in it. -
shouted Carter. "Yes, save him and its $4O,'
added Mitchell, and they appealed to the guide
,, in mute despair.
The fish came to the surface and with strong
pull OF the oar the guide sent his handsome
boat within reach, then club and scoop did the
rest. There was q calm such as follows storm.
then cheer went up that echoed and re-
echoed until the Canadians prepared for
/ another Fenian attack. Nearly three-auarters
Of an hour was consumed in the battle. and the
big fellow went thirty eight pounds plump.

Loss in Weight Of Gold Coin.

From Chambers Journal.
Ii has long been generally recognized that q
large proportion of sovereigns and still larger.
of half sovereigns are below the legal current
weight Successive chancellors of the ex-
chequer. who are also masters OF the mint in
conjunction with that Office, have either eyaded
the difficult problem altogether or suggested
some'such unpopular solution as clipping the
half sovereign 10 pay for the sovereign The
present government. however, has made a
special inquiry into the condition Of the gold
currency. In the early part of 1888 all gold
coins taken at 500 of the principal post otfices
in Great Britain and Ireland on a specified day
were forwarded to the mint. where they wers
carefully examined rs to age and weight
The result together with other investiga-
tons on the same subject. was included in the
mint report for 1889 Therein the deputy mas
ter estimates that out of a total gold circula-
ton in this country of 102. 500. 900 pounds the
total value Of the light coins is 50, 625 Goa
pounds. or more than 80 per cent This shows
n deficiency of s04. $50 pounds. which. however.
Is not surprising when il Ii remembered that
the life OF a sovereign is estimated to be but
nineteen years, and that OF a half sovereign
only nine; and at the same time there has been
no general withdrawal Of light gold for forty-
tiye years. At any rate this experiment
afforded abundant proof that prompt measures
were necessary. Accordingly the coinage act
provided that all pre-Victorian gold should DO
exchanged by the mint for Its nominal value
and on the 22d Of November. $780, a royaf
proclamation announced that ali gold coin of
former reigns would cease to be legal tender
IN the United Kingdom after the 18th of Feb
ruary, 1891. The total amount withdrawn by
these means was 2.466, 14s pounds, and the total
value Of the deficiency on these COINS in weight
and fireness proved to be E5l, 299, IA shillings,
pence, or "a mean total cost 70 the sxchsauer
Of 1855 pence per pound sterling.

Monte Carlo Dispatch to London Papers.
The Englishman Wells, who had SO ex-
traordinary q run Of luck last week at
the gaming tables here, winning over
f20, 900 at roulette, continues to be
favored by the same good fortune. Finding
the luck turning against him, be had the pru-
dence to quit the table at which he had been

risked few stnkes at another game-trente-et-
quaran.e- and, winning each, continued to play
till he had further increased his gains by the
sum of l60. 600 francs or close upon &c 400.
Mr.. Wells, at trente-et-quarante, follows the
same system that proved 80 successful in his
case at roulette-the famous coup des trois-
that is to say, following the luck till he has won
thrice in succession, and then Withdrawing the

never been witnessed before. Mr.. Wells, whose
winnings commence to have an effect ON the

The Right Arm and Left Foot

From the st. Louis Globe ID Democrat.
The right arm is always a little larger than
the left but the left foot is almost always
larger than the right, presumably because,
while nearly every man uses his right arm to
lift a weight or strike blow, he almost in
rariably kicks with his left foot, while the
lounger stands on his left leg and lets his right
fall easily because he has learned by experience
that this is the best attitude he can assume to
prevent lassltude and fatigue. This constant
bearing of the weight on the left foot makes il
wider than the right, and it often happens that
man who tries on a shoe on the right foot and
gets a close fit has to discard the shoes alto
gether because he cannot endure the pain
caused by the tightness of the left. IL when
riding on a street car you will take the trouble
to notice. you will see that in laced shoes the
gap is much smaller on the right foot than on
the left, while with button shoes the buttons
have to be set back ten times on the left shoe
to once ON the right

FIGHTING A MAD WOLF,
A Dangerous Guest Hidden in . New Mexi-
can House.

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat
My room was at the end of long hall. 1
was familiar with every crook and turn about
the house and didn't need q light, so passed
into my room and closed the door. 1t occurred
to me then to take smoke, so felt around in
the dark and found cigar and struck match
to light it. The next minute think you could
have knocked me down with feather Away
down in the darkness under the bed two fiery
eyes shone out like burning Goals Just for that
brief moment that the match was burning and
then it went oui. Before l had time to think
the creature was upon me and was springin2
for my throat, the most savage animal had
ever met. felt rather than saw what it was.
The creature was a wolf, and it was mad.
Several animals afflicted with hvdrophobia
had been seen in the neighborhood during the
past few months There is no animal more
formidable than wolf when it has rabies, and
l knew with what had to contend. 1 had to
struggle with q large wolf shut up in dark
room and that the slightest wound from its
sharp teeth meant certain and horrible death
to me. As it came to me first threw out NV
hands and by some good fortune happened to
strike its neck. got both nv hands about its
throat and managed to hold 1t away from nv
face, but it was all that could do.
was nervous, l suppose, and the wolf was
far stronger than it would have been under or
binary circumstances. The froth was dripping
from its mouth and flew into my face as it
struggled. 1t was the most desperate struggle
OF my life Just to hold that wolf and keep it
from my face and throat. at which it constantly
leaped in the most furious manner. All the
time, from the moment it sprang at me first. I
had been shouting and calling at the top of nv
voice. There was very little hope of doing any
good with it, as the servants were too far
away, and my room on the opposite side of
the house from their quarters, but that WAS the
only chance.
1t was very evident that couldn't let 20 nv
hold for an instant. 1t was just as evident that
l couldn't hold out this way long, and that un-
less help came after awhile my strength would
eventually give way and the wolf could tear my
throat, as it was struggling then to do. And
how long do you think this kept up? For two
hours-for two mortal hours by the clock-I
stood there fighting for my life with the savage
wolf and shouting for help every moment of
the time. A hundred times l thought my
strength was gone and that my arm would
surely sink down powerless the next moment
and yet always manage to hold him off little
longer.
At last, just as I was almost in complete
despair, one Of the servants was aroused by my
continued shouting, and came running with
his gun in his hand. managed to hold the
wolf until he made light, and then held him
while the man put the muzzle of his gun
against the VOLTS head and killed him as dead
as Hector And then 1 went to my sisters
room and had spell of something that would
have been Mysteries if had been woman.
Being man it was nothing but case of
nervous prostration.

THE HUCKsTERs' HARVEST.
The Tricks They Play to Increase Thei
Profits and Fleece Their Patrons.

FRONTS ana fIeece 1hefr Patrons.
From the ST. Louis Star.Sayings.
A huckster wagon passed along through the
alley between Pine and Olive streets. The
driver was calling his wares with all his might.
There was q sharp click, followed by the
rafting of a latch chain. A high gate swung
open and a woman with a market basket on her
arm stepped out and halted the vegetable ped
dler. He stopped. and with a calm, innocent
sort of smile upon his ar-store-Ind ian
countenance asked what she wanted.
How much do you want for roasting ears?"
Twenty cents a dozen, ma am"
ooh. pshaw. 1 can beat that down town.
Your corn isn't any thing extra"
The woman had tumbled the corn over
rapidly. like pig hunting for nubbin. and
had smelled of every ear, separately and inoi-
vidually. The huckster didn't say a word.
Give me 10 cents worth"
The corn was counted out and placed in the
basket.
What are these tomatoes worth?" The
good housewife was burrowing into them at
liyely rate.
Five cents a small measure"
Don't want them. Can beat your prices
down town."
That's all right"
How much are cabbages?'
Five or ten cents"
Mercy on me. You fellows amt afraid to

That's part Of our business" was the indif-
ferent answer.
What are potatoes WORTHY

Then followed haggle over the price Of
potatoes that made the women in the neighbOr-
hood stick their heads out OF the windows in
great haste to see what had happened. At
length the hhckster exclaimed testify:
We'll, take them for 20 cents"
The goods were measured out and the price
was paid.
The good woman went into the house conf
dent that she had swindled the huckster man,
while the huckster shock hands with himself
because he had swindled tine woman.
