TO keep his eyes open, and resolved TO take
notes on his adventures.
He was in the heart when he began his
notes. That great organ suddenly cou-
lracted, and with many of his companions
lie was forced into the lungs, where he gave
up the load of carbon dioxide he had pick ed
up as he hurried through the veins, and re-
ceived in exchange q load of oxygen TO be
distributed TO the organism. He did not
receive as much as he was accustomed to
have; He experienced certain difficulty
that he could not quite understand IN get
ting to The front TO obtain his supply.
When he came TO think about
1t. as he was hurrying back through
the pulmonary circulation to the
heart, he recalled that certain of the native
corpuscles had crowded ahead OF him, and
seemed in great anxiety lest their supply
should be curtailed. Funny" he thought
to himself, ''they only want enough to sup
ply themselves, and exchange with the
organism for nutrlment; they can't do any,
thing else with it, This seems very
strange country" BY this time he was
back in the heart, ready tor his life giving

He was close by the semi-lunar valves, just

with another corpuscle, native, whom he
engaged in conversation.
What do all these fellows want of so

had to. some one must get good deal more
than he can possibly USE"
"Why," said the other. SIT is the great

Fly fishing for trout is now In order. An
angler who returned from Glen Ellen few
days ago reports that he basketed quite q
nice mess of silver-sides.
John Benn, whose picture adorns this de-
partment OF sport. is one of the oldest anglers
on the coast. Benn has fiShed on the cele-
brated trout and salmon Tivers-the Black
water aud Shannon of Ireland, and while
residing on the banks of Eel River, In Hum

both salmon and trout, during certain
months OF the summer season, would readily
rise to an artificial fly He ties his own
flies and is always provided with material
so as TO initiate the natural insect as closely
as possible.
A few weeks ago the Commissioners
stocked the Garcia River in Mendocino
County with Eastern fry which had been
raised in Bear Valley hatchery. The Garcia
will lie among the best fishing streams in
the State in few years hence.
There are three excellent methods of
cooking trout. remarked a ell-known cpl
cure to friend recently, viz: frying,

great art and one that is but rarely
understood. The fat, be Ii butter,
olive oil or lard, should be sweet and burn
Ing hot. As soon as Drowned the fish
should be lifted out and the fat allowed TO
drain off. A thin slice of salt pork or even
bacon will go well with the fish, but two
much bacon may give them a smoky flavor.
Small trout from six to eight inches are
best cooked in this manner. Any size fish
may be roasted in the ashes, and they are
excellent that way; but trout from one
quarter to three-quarters OF a pound give
the best results. But above all give me a

more delicate and not so cloying | have
never eaten a well-coOked and tasty trout in

them fresh enough, and they are generally

This, however, Is the reward and expert

Remember that Captain Gison-whom
never saw aftereard, but hope soon to see
now that know he is living-behaved with
the most singular GOODNESS. Two of his
men had been shot down, and as he came

Well, when the Indians had shot down

it, why they crept on their bellies right
for the fallen men, with their knives In
their teeth. Young jameson. after shout

But here is the story of an Indian fight
and how it came TO be told; Joaquin Miller
two or three years ago was walking with
Ex-Governor Semple in Tacoma when
a curious thing took place. A man
walked up, and, placing his finger
on the left side of MilIer's face
said, Yes. you are the boy" 1t turned
out that this man had saved the poets life
at the battle of Castle Rocks fought 81
years ago in California. BE had drawn an
arrow from Miller's neck when he was
pretty far gone And now the poet is very
anxious to learn where the man cen be
found. for he forgot both the address aud
the name soon afterward. The man for
whom Joaquin Miller Is looking is no other
than w. ). Jameson of Port Gamble. Wash.

1t Is hoped that the Commissioners will

According to the Sierra Valley Leader a
fish law should be made especially for the
anglers OF the high attitudes. The Leader
says:
Short-sighted or non-practicai lawmakers In
making laws for the protection OF the fish during
the spawning season have not made them SO
mat they protect the trout In the mountain
counties. Tue FISH have not yet spaw ned in
