A WONDERFUL FISH STORY.
The Singular Loss and Recovery of a
Diamond.


Diamond.
This is the way the latest fish story is
told by the Easton (Me) Express:
Joseph S. Frey, saloonkeeper on South
Third street, and William Bercav were
trout fishing up in Monroe county re-
Gently. While forcing his way through
a thick clump of bushes overhanging
the stream Mr.. Bercaw saw a good
sized trout dart out from the bank of
the creek and pass directly beneath
him. Working his way to a secluded
nook few feet above, the anxious
angler cast his fly with such skill that
in few seconds he caught and safely
landed speckled beauty. He made a
second effort, but could get no more
trout there.
The fishermen continued on their
way until their sport had ended, and
they seated themselves to clean their
fish, of which, of course, they had
line lot. On opening one of the trout
the fish was found to contain q diamond
shirt stud. This caused Bercaw to look
for his diamond, when it was discov-
cred to be missing. Then it flashed
upon the fsherman's mind how for
tunate he had been that the trout he
had seen dart in front of him had swal-
lowed the jewel and that he had sue
ceeded in capturing the fish. To a re-
porter who inquired of Mr.. Bercaw con-
cerning the truthfulness of the story
the latter declared it to be a fact in
every particular.

AN ISLAND DISCOVERED.
The Domain of His Majesty, the Emperor
OF Japan, Augmented.

Ah0 Dr"aih VI IAlS AIoJcSty, the Emperor
OF Japan, Augmented.
A remarkable stery is told by Chi
nese paper concerning an island re-
Gently discovered to the south of Kakaf
island. The story briefly is as follows:
Some years ago Satsuma man discov-
cred the island and proceeded there in
small boat, taking with him his own
family and also another. He promised
relatives and friends that when the.
families had become three in number
instead of two, bamboo should be cast
adrift with three cuts upon it, that
another bamboo should be sent with
i've cuts upon it when the families,
attained that number, and so on, in
order that those at home might know
how the settlers on the island were pro-,
crossing. Nothing more, however, was
heard OF the settlers till the beginning
OF the present year, when bamboo
tube with eight cuts upon it driftedl
ashore at Satsuma. Thus reminded of
the departed families, the old residents
who had been alive when the two
pioneer families left Satsuma for their
new home made application to the
naval authorities for the dispatch of a
man-of-war to the island. The story.
however, seemed incredible, and the re-
quest was not acceded to. Recently,
however, report was received from
the United States navy department that
one or two of the United States men-of-
war had seen an island near Kalxai
island, which was neither described on
the English nor japanese charts, and
that one of the vessels had approached
within three miles of the island The
report corresponding with the story
told by the Satsuma people, the Japan
ese naval authorities decided to send
the training vessel Kongo to the place
to investigate.

VACCINE VIRUS.

There Are Farms for the supply OF 1t In
Various Parts of the Country.
The preparation used to produce
what we call ''vaccination' is known
among medical men Us vaccine virus, to
produce which it is necessary to 90
through surgical operation, the SUBJ
ject being young cow, or even a calf,
says correspondent of the st. Louis
Republic. After scarifying the belly of
the animal (the parts having previously
been shaved) the wound is inoculated
with virus from an animal already in
use. A sore is thus formed without
lasting injury to the beast, and after
week or ten days thin, vaccid matter
begins to flow from the abrasion. This
pus or matter is the vaccine virus of
commerce. Goose-quills, which have
been scraped with a knife until they
present rough exterior, are rubbed in
this virus.
The virus from one abrasion is suffi-
cient to coat 10000 quilts, which, after
being so prepared, are technically called
points" These points when ready for
shipment look very much like ordinary
goose-quills, the virus coating not being
visible to the naked eye.
There are several persons in the
United States who make it a business
to supply the rest of humanity with
vaccine virus. One of these vaccine
farms" is at the agricultural college,
Columbus, O.; another at Fond du Lac,
Wis; the third, and also the largest in
the world, in New Jersey.

A SMART SETTER.
He Learns to Steal Eggs and Also Learns
to Reform.

AAo A~hrhs 20 Steal EGGS ana Also Learns
| to Reform.
A lady living in one of the suburbs OF
| New York has fine, large English,
| setter, who is constantly amazing her
by some unexpected and original trait
OF character, says the Albany Journal.
About month ago he came frisking
into her room just before breakfast and
laid down gently at her feet a fresh,
ncwly-laid egg. Laughingly she picked
1t up, wondering how he could have OBJ
tanned it tfor she kept no clickens),
and also how he could have carried it
in his mouth without breaking it. TAX
ing it to the kitchen, the dog following
and seemingly extremely interested as
to what she proposed doing with his
treasure troyc, she said to the cook:
Jim has brought me a present; please
poach it for my breakfast" The in
telligent brute watched the process of
its preparation with eager interest, and
II ever dog showed and felt conscious
pride, it was exhibited by Jim" as he
delightedly watched his beloved mis-
tress eating the egg To the lady's
great surprise the next morning he
again appeared with his dainty gift,
and, although she feared it was stolen
property, his mistress had not the heart
to disappoint him by not having it
cooked for her breakfast. She was
touched by his evident joy in being able
to do something for her; but when,
day after day, it became n regular oc-
currence, she resolved to search the
neighborhood to find who had been de-
spoiled on her account. 1t was in vain,
however, that she inquired on all sides;
no one had missed any eggs. Finally
her mind was relieved by seeing Jim
appear several mornings with an ex-
tremely detected and crestfallen mien,
and no eggs. "Ah, they have found you
out, have they, old fellow?" she said,
caressing the unhappy-looliing animal.
"Well, honesty is the best policy, and 1
am glad to have found way out of it
without hurting your feelings" A few
days afterward. while walking in the
village with Jim, She heard little boy
exclaim: Mamma, mamma, there is
the dog that stole our eggs; just look at
him! guess he don't like the red pep
peri" for Jim was regarding the smiling
little mother and her son with ineffable
disgust, Sinking by them in way very
different from his usual gallant bear
ing. His owner, feeling very much like
a receiver of stolen goods, proffered ex-
plantations and apologies, which were
received with much amusement, the
small boy declaring that such a dog de-
served the egg, and that he should have
one every time he came for it. But
Jim had had enough of eggs forever and
day, and now always draws up his
lips and growls whenever one is placed
before him

ILLUSTRATIVE ART.


Best of Artists.
Some of the best of our painters have,
devoted n large part of their time to IL
lustration, and the work done by thet
"illustrators"-the artists who work..
almost exclusively in black and white
for the magazines and illustrated iour-t
nals-has steadily improved in quality,
says writer in Scribncr's. To-day il-i
lustration is the regular profession of a.
host of men and women, and the g11no
pain of number of painters. who finGfi
in it a source of income that permits
them to paint pictures according to-
their individual tastes, without regard
to the question of popularity with the
public; and the serious occupation Of
others who find in some work of poetry
or fiction subjects with which their
temperament is in sympathy, and an
opportunity to make drawings that are
in no sense to be confounded with what.
is known as hack work." even when it,
is of such excellence that it seems un-
just to apply to it name that suggests
in itself O lack of true artistic interest.
While it may be true that good deal
of the current illustration is inferior, it
serves useful purpose in the propaga-
ton of love of art among people who
would not without it see any whatever
worthy of the name. Wccd-cuts and
Photographers from the designs OF
competent arti;.ts, in the illustrated pa
pers and magazines, are far better food
for the people, in homes distant from
the art centers, than the cheap chromos
and cheaper steel engravings that used
to be about all there was in such houses
in the way of pictures of any descrip-
ton.
The relative merit of the illustration,
and its subject in literature are not in
question. In our own country, at least.
1t is indisputablc that more has been
done through the medium of illustrated
literature to make the masses of the
people realize that there is such thing
as art, and that it is worth caring
about, than in any other way. As to-
the best work in the field of illustra-
ton, when the artist has found in liter
ature something that appeals to him as.
a subject he would like to treat in pic.
torial form, we are not forced to de-
eide which is in our opinion the better,

NEVER MISSED HIS AIM,
Man Who Could Rival the Slim
Throwers of Old.

"A man VINO Could Rival the Sling
Throwers of Old.
1t is supposed that we have no men,
nowadays who could compete on even
terms with the old archers. A man
named Uri Bailey recently died in PENN
sylvania, says the Rural New Yorker.
who was worthy of place with the old
time soldiers. His skill in throwing
stones was said to be marvellous. He
was mentally deficient, but a giant
physically. His aim with stones at any
mark or game was as urerring as that
OF the most sllillful handler OF the rife.
He annually bagged scores of small
gamc-pheasants, rabbits, quails and
squirrels-which he killed with stones
He could kill bird on the wing or a.
rabbit at full speed almost as easily as
he could kill it at rest.
He had large leather pouch attached
to one side of his coat, in which he ON,
all occasions carried good supply of
carefully selected stones. An exhibi-
tion of his skill which was always a,
favorite with him was to set up a
scythe blade, edge toward him, and at
the distance of one hundred feet cut
apples in halves by throwing Them
against the edge of the blade He could
almost exactly halve two out of every
three apples he threw. Robin Hoods
great feat of skill was to set up a
peeled sapling at considerable dis
tance and split it with an errow.
We do not see that this is more diff
cult than splitting the apple on the.
scythe blade.

last week, was held yesterday. The examl-
nation showed that they were those of r.
E. Levin, who was supposed to have been

1t also confirmed the story of q conspiracy to
dcfraud the life insurance companies by
making 1t appear that Radlof was burned
to death. Louis Kostrouch, one Of the con-
spirators, who has confessed, told how Rad.
loft anu his wife agreed to the plot Radlof
stole body from the cemetery last March
and buried it in his chicken house
Then Radloff insured his life. Last Friday
they piled dry bark on the mattress in the
house anG dressed the body IN Radloff's
clothes. Then they lighted a slow fuse and
left the house, Kostrouch coming to Seattle
ana Radlof going to Ballard, suburb.
Mrs. Radloff was dressed in mourning and
testified she believed her husband dead.
