The finest sables in the world are

those belonging TO her mother, the

gift Of the Russian empress is one Of

cipients of the splendid specimens she
bestows. When the Princess Alexan-

n Wa n Whale Until 10 Was Caught.
Much to the Captains iscom6ture.
There is no better fishing ground
around New York for those who de
light in the capture Of the weakfsh
that the neighborhood Of the High
lands of Navesink, and there are few
better sportsmen than the genial Cap
tain Slevin. Of the Second precinct
: The veracity of fishermen is not
above suspicion, but now and then the
French proverb that ut is always the
unexpected that happens" is justified.
At u rate this incident will be vouched
for by a dozen.
One day in July, which, | regret TO
say. was a Sunday. the captain. guided
by Hank Smith who is the waterman
all the skilled fishermen seek 10 secure,
went to favorite fishing spot Hank
looked over the tackle and found that
one Of the hooks was in danger Of get
ting loose from its smell, so he took a
couple 81 half bitches around it and
made 10 fast. At the same time the
captain was fastening a bit Of cord that
kattached to the rig TO his line. Hank
laughed at the knot the captain used,
but for all that over il all went and in
a second the biggest fish Of the
season had carried the whole business
away.
OF course there wa weeping and
wailing and crashing of teeth. and the
captain swore that he'd never 60 fish
ing on Sunday again. However. a new
rig was found, and when the good peo-
pie of Highlands returned from church
full of piety and gossip the captain met
them with a broad smile and a long
string and for a few hours kept them
all busy listening TO his tale Of how he
lost the best fish that ever swan in the
Shrewsbury.
But now see the danger of exaggera-
ton. On Monday two young men Of
New York, Messrs. Howard and Ray
mond. came down. They secured Hank
and went out to the same place that
the captain had anchored at the day
before. They caught a goodly basket
full twenty-five in ALL, but there was
one infant-a f~ngerling-a mere sar-
dine. He was carefully put at the
bottom Of the pile and the lot delivered
over to the scullion, who promptly
turned the basket upside down and
brought Mr.. Tom Thumb 10 the top.
Just al this moment the captain
sauntered by. He saw a pile Of fish
and strolled in 20 look them over. The
scullion seized the top n and plunged
the knife in TO clean him. As he opened
the belly with his knife, out came the
captains lost hooks and smells, easily
identified by the two peculiar knots.
II was an odd series OF condolences
That the Gsh should have been taken
by another party on another day, taken
! 10 the hotel lone of severaD where both
loser and finder stopped; that the cap
tain should have been passing just as
| the fish was being cleaned, and that
the fish should have shrunk 50 fear

IN THE WATER WITH A RAT1LER.

J. c. Wiley, Of Brooklyn. who had
been enjoying his outing in the vicinity
of Blood's, this county, was a passen-
ger homeward bound on Erie train s.
Mr.. Wiley told a reporter at the depot
that he was going home a week before
his outing was over because he had a
little experience with a rattlesnake on
the Cohocton that had rather unnerved
him.
Il vas trout fishing Saturday" said
MI Wiley, and was wading down the
stream with tolerably good success
with the trout, when just ahead Of me
l saw a snake swimming the creek !
didn't notice what kind of a snake II
was, but reaching down in the water ]
found a good sized fat stone and tossed
it at the snake. Ny aim was so good
that the stone struck the snake near or
on the head, and carrying it to the bot
tom with its weight pinned it there.
The head was held tight beneath the
stone. but the tail and a couple of feet
of the body were thrust above the sur
face, where they thrashed about furi-
ously. and discovered that the reptile
was a rattlesnake.
'Acting on the impulse of the mo

thing as any nan ever did. | stepped
to where tie snakes noisy tail and
writhing body were lashing about in
the water, and Selling the tail ierked
the snake from beneath the stone. with
the intention Of whipping it against a
tree that stood at the edge of the creek.
Although the snakes head had been
damned down on the bottom by q
stone and held there for nearly a min
ute, the and now furious rep
tile had plenty Of life and no end of
malice left.
Il had no sooner jerked his head from
under the stone and above the water

A celebrated physician has remarked
that every house ought 70 be pulled
down at the end Of the sixtieth year,
as it has by that time absorbed all Of
the diseases of those that have lived in
1t. This idea is based on the theory
that wood and plaster absorb gases,
foul air and feverish eXhalatiOn as
readily as milk or water does. But. as
it is not practicable 70 tear down houses
every half century or so, some eminent
authorities claim that all wood used in
the interior construction Of houses, and
all of the surface of plaster, should be
thoroughly oiled or vanished. so that
the power of absorption would be al
most entirely destroyed. In the latter
event the destruction of houses on
sanitary grounds would no longer be
desirable.-New York Telegram.
