Mr. Hamlin was one Of Names noted
fishermen, and one little yearly excur-
sion Of his used to puzzle the knowing
ones not a little. Every year he pre-
vailed upon the officials Of certain
Maine railroad to let him off an early
morning train in the middle Of dense
forest. He would disappear in the
woods, and when the train returned in
the evening Mr.. Hamhn would be found
waiting beside the track to be taken
aboard. His basket on these occasions
was always found to be filed with mag
nifcent trout weighing anywhere around
a pound to two pounds and over. No
body else knew OF q trout brook in the
vicinity that gave promise Of any such
trout as he got, and as the old gentleman
always persisted in going alone, the
exact locality has always remained a
mystery. Lewiston Journal.

Antiquarians tell us that the wooden
Indian is a tobacco sign, because tobacco
is an American weed and that it was orig
inally used by the Indians. But this
same antiquarian gets tangled occasion
ally and tells you that tobacco has been
in use for over 5000 years among the
Chinese. Meyen, in his Geography Of
Plants" is Of the opinion that the smok-
ing Of tobacco is Of great antiquity
among the Chinese, because he has OBJ
served carvings Of tobacco pipes upon
monuments whose ages run back into
the thousands Of years, and they are ex-
actly like the Celestial tobacco pipe to-
day too. If this is fact it would be
much more appropriate 70 nse the figure

The emperor Of Germany does not take
at all kindly TO women Of literary or
learned proclivities, and is said TO have
once remarked, That for his part he
preferred lady with talent for max
ing jams to one who had an aptitude for
discussing the constitution" Now, if
his imperial majesty will come over to
America he will find large number Of
ladies who can not only intelligently dis
cuss the constitution, German or Amer

A Tepid bath Prevents brain Trouble.

The brain in early life is highly sus-
ceptible to every disturbing influence.
Moreover, the blood circulating in the
body and limbs is easily diverted there
from to the head. II hungry baby
merely manifests its desire for food by a
few short cries, its face becomes 'blaz-
ing red" in consequence Of the blood be-
ing driven with a rush up from the
body.
Circulation is restored as soon as the
little one is quiet, and ordinarily no
harm is done by the temporary conges-
ton. But such attacks, if often repeat
cd and prolonged, may pave the way tc
serious brain disease. Probably the
danger of "brain trouble" is greater in
hot than in cold weather; hence the tep
id bath, Of such great efficacy, should
be frequently resorted to.-Boston Her.

A THEORY.

Why do yiolins shudder so,
When across them Is drawn the bow,
Sob for anguish and wild despair
Human souls are imprisoned there.
Souls are shut in the victims.
They are the souls OF Philistines;
But fhe Philistines. row on row,
Soulless sit and they do not know.
But they brsndish their eyeglasses,
Stare at each others evening dress,
Scrutinize form or brilliant hue,
Say, rs IL rouge or is II true2

And how stout the sopranos grown
Isn't the base a dear2 and oh,
Do look at Mrs. So and Sop
Still the musicians play serene.
AS though Philistines had not been,
But their souls in the violins
Mourn on bitterly for their sins.
Call them wildly and call in pain.
Call them with longing deep and vain,
And with infinite tenderness,
Since they can give them no redress.
Since not one OF them Is aware.
