A Novel Way to Catch Fish.

81 have heard of many curious WAYS
OF catching fish," said R. Stone
McGlrk, OF Winnebago, at the South
ern. "But I never saw any method
as unique as that employed by an old
fellow named Sandy, who is aguide
on the Mackenzie river, in the far
North British possessions. He guided
party OF us last season on a salmon
fishing trip. By means of his own
peculiar plans we caught more fish
than we knew what to do with. He
would select pool and place in it g.
small tin box with little holes cut in
the sides and protected by valves so
that the water could not get in. From
this piece of common rubber tubing
led to the mouth Of a bellows on the
bank. Sandy would secrete himself
and work the bellows. The air was
forced out of the box in such way
that it made low, musical chord,
which could be distinctly heard. The
tlsh were strangely attracted by it.
They seemed to swarm around it. We
could stand in our places all day,
making cast after cast, and taking
fish nearly as fast as we pleased. The
old guide would never show the in
side OF the box, and I never knew how
it was arranged"

Beautifying the Ewes.

According to the London Optician
an interesting case may soon come be-
lore the courts involving the disclos-
ure OF one OF the mysteries by which
the eyes Of fashionable LADY are
made dazzlingly beautiful. It appears
that in a we'll known street in the,
West End an establishment exists q
which the speciality is the "beautifca-
ton" OF woman's eyes. Thither q.
lady OF fashion went to be "beauti6edn
preparatory to some social gathering
which she proposed to attend. The
operator applied to the eyes mix
ture OF which the principal ingredient
is supposed to be belladonna, but
either on account of mistake in the
lotion or through indebtedness in
the application, the pupils of the
lady's eyes became so distended that
shortly after reaching the street shs
became almost blind and staggered
about helpless.
A friendly policeman found her in
this condition, and with the best in
tentlons proposed that she should &C.
company him to the police station.
The unfortunate sufferer implored him
not to take her there, and by the per.
suasion and promise of reward induced
the constable to place her in a cab
and convey her to her doctor.
Ihere she in contrite tones con-
fessed the dire results of attempting
10 improve upon nature. Relief was
promptly forthcoming, but the physi-
clan warned her strongly of the folly
before sending her home.
