4 COOP FISH STORY.

The scene Of the following incident was
about forty miles from Gloversvilie, on a
beautiful little lake just across the table

The lake Is not large. in no place

IL measures from two 70 three miles

brought into sight he was not as large as
some we had already IN the boat. but there
was an unusual motion all about him. Soon

and in four or FIVE years after their marriage
was getting ahead very satisfactorily. One
day he said to his wife:

They calculated the sum. One friend
spent about S25 per month. another 300,
and many spent sums between these two
extremes. Ii WAS agreed that he would
spend ESQ, and this sum was regularly set
aside by him for her 70 constitute fund for
the education of the children. Once or

Literary Notes.

Mrs. Augusta Evans Wilson, the author
of "Beuah," "Vashti" and other books,
which once had a vogue. is described as par
ticularly lsborlous and painstaking in her
literary work. In the writing of a novel she
never begins the manuscript until the
entire plot and characters stand out clearly
before her Mrs. Wilson's care of details
is shown IN the fact that for several years
before her last book, AT the Mercy of
Tiberius." was published. she investigated
electrical phenomena, especially freaks of
lightning and collected eight wsll-authenti-
Gated accounts OF electric photography.
Among these were four remarkable instances
OF human faces photographed by lightning
on window panes. On this basis Of fact Mrs.
Wilson built her novel. in view of these
facts, now printed for the first time, the

the lightning photograph on the window
pane at Elm Bluff" as impossible, absurd
and sensational" must have sounded rather
strange and amusing 10 Mrs Wilson.

Here Are some Simple Rules Laid Down
by n Scientist.
Methods for prophesying the weather are
usually very unsatisfactory, but the follow
ing ten rules given by A. j. De Voc, Of New
Jersey, seem TO DO based on scientific obser-
walton, and. consequently. worthy OF oelng
put to the test:
1. When the temperature falls suddenly,
a storm is forming south Of you.
2. When the temperature rises suddenly
q storm is forming north Of you.
3. The wind always blows from region
Of fair weather toward region where
storm is forming.
4. Cirrus clouds-those which are thin
and long-drawn. sometimes looking Ike
curled wool or hair, sometimes like brush
or broom-alweys move from region
where storm Ia ia progress toward re-
gion Of fair weather.
5. Cumulous clouds-which present the
appearance Of gigantic mountains crowned
with snow-always move from region o
fair weather toward region where storm
Is forming.
6. Whsn cirrus clouds are moving rapidly
from north or northwest, there will be rain
IN less than twenty-four hours. no matter
how cold II may De.
y When cirrus clouds are moving rapidly
from south or southwest. there will DO
cold rain storm on the morrow. II IL be sum
mer. and II il be winter there Will be snow

K The wind blows in q circle around
storm, and when IL blows from the north
the heaviest rain is east Of you: from the
south the heaviest rain is west; from the
east the heaviest rain Is south; from the west
the heaviest rain is north Of you.
3. The wind never blows unless rain or
snow is falling within 1000 miles OF you.
10. Whenever heavy white frost occurs.

mands of Columbus TO be made admiral or
viceroY, and TO be allowed the tenth part
of ell gains derived from either trade or
conquest. were such as must necessarily, II
granted yield too great temptation TO ex-
ercse these powers for the oppression OF a
barbarous people" But THIS oblec-
tion mistakes the situation alto
gether. There is nothing TO show
that Columbus. when be made these de-
mands had any expectation OF coming IN
contact with a barbgrOus people. On the
contrary his aYowed object and expectation
were TO reach directly the splendid empires
of China and Japan and the other Kingdoms
of Farther India" which at that time sur
passed, not only in wealth bat in many
points of civilization, the foremost countries
OF Europe. That he should approach these
mighty states not as poor and humble
adventurer, but as the yice-regal representa-
tive Of great western power, with full
authority 70 deal with their rulers on terms
OF equality, was absolutely essential to bis
success; and not less important was 1t that
he should have the means of keeping up
the state belonging to his position.
IL may be confidently affirmed that every
allegation in this biography injurious to
the good judgment and moral rectltude Of
Columbus can be shown to have originated
in some similar Misunderstanding.
The plain truth is that the great qualities
and achievements of Columbus. which have
drawn to him the admiration of the civil
lied world. were distinctly bis own. His
faults, which no one has ever sought to dis
guise were those of his time. This is the
verdict of all the eminent historical and
scientific inquirers, from Humboldt and
Irving to Prescott and Fiske, who have dealt
with the subject. a few well meaning in
vestgators, unhappily deficient in the his
torca spirit, and constantly displaying
their inospacity for discerning the true sig
nificance of the facts which they record,
have lately sought to disturb this verdict.
The discussions which their efforts will pro-
woke can only have the result which Irving
desired ito bring about IN similar cases

BOUND TO HAVE WHISKY.

The old topper will resort to most re-
markable methods to get his whisky,
One of the physicians at Dwight who
found an unusually stubborn case
which failed to yield to the treat
ment caused careful investigation to
be made, which resulted in the dis
covery that the patient was wearing
about his waist a belt of whisky. He
had taken long Bologna sausage,
removed the stuffiing, and filled it
with liquor. When he was searched
at the Institution the physician did
not find the mysterious belt and he
drank enough whisky-to keep him in
toxicated for about a week before he
was brought to grief and his Bologna
case confscated.
This recalls the case of General
Tom Thumb. who became a slave to
the drink habit in his latter days.
After Barnum had taken him to Eu-
rope and had advertised him very ex-
tensively, shrewd theatrical manager
conceived the plan of staring in lilli
putian play. A contract was signed
and the tour began The general had
no dramatic ability, but the play gave
him very little work to do, and peo-
pie turned out to see the famous little
man whom Barnum's genius had made
known the world over. He proved a
great drawing card for while. Then
he began to drink heavily. and very
often disappointed large audiences by
being unable to appear.
After seeing his money squandered
in this manner until patience ceased
to be virtue, the manager decided
to adopt heroic measures. He set him
self to watch the general, and never
let sthe little fellow get out of his
sight for moment.
At st. Louis the manager had oc.
casion to leave the hotel for an hour,
and, determined not to take any
chances, locked the general in his
room. When he returned he was
struck speechless with establishment.
The door was locked, but stretched
upon the floor was Tom Thumb as
drunk as a lord.

til he attracted the attention of bell
boy. Slipping a dollar under the
door he instructed the boy to go to a
saloon, buy pint of whisky and an
ordinary clay pipe. When the boy
returned, the general told him to put
the pipe-stem through the keyhole
and pour the liquor into the pipe-bowl.
He did SO, and the dwarf. standing on
tiptoe, placed his lips to the pipe-stem
and drank himself into unconscious
