COOKED Fish Food.

In stream where trout have been ac-
customed to be fed with bread it might
at first sight appear that they could east
ly be taken by means of the staff of life as
lure. Yet, though trout may be taken
for time by means of such bait, they
eventually learn to discriminate between
the dangerous and an innocuous crust or
crumb. There are many pools in which
the fish at no period can be persuaded to
take it as a lure, however readily they
may rush toward it in it's innocent state
Once they have tasted bread, however,
trout develop great Partially for it.
Why salmon should take boiled and pre-
pared prawns must ever remain more or
less OF a mystery. These assuredly are the
most unnatural of foods for them, yet in
certain states of the water salmon, though
rarely it ever sea trout, succumb to it
when they refuse every other kind of bait,
and that, too, in no half hearted fashion,
but with an avidity that is often marvel
Gus. 1t is the same with salmon roe, so
lar as trout, sea trout and bull trout are
concerned. The smell probably has some
thing to do with this forbidden fruit, and
in some such way the oil of a heron's
breast, if sprinkled over worms is said to
make them specially attractive "What-
ever IS is good" seems to be the motto of
the feeding fish.-London Field.

TO SHOOT TWO WOMEN.
A Man Two Thousand Years Old Creates
Excitement at Libby's Corner.

"Will you lend me two revolvers? l
want to shoot couple of women" The
people in Rice's grocery store at the
junction of Portland and Congress streets
at the West End, were naturally some
what surprised at the request. 1t was
made by man of about forty, rather
short in stature. with heavy moustache
and comfortably clad. He quietly en-
tered the store last evening and asked for
two deadly weapons much as sane man
might ask for couple of pounds of tea.
He readily entered into conversation, and
was kept talking until Officer Heath
came along. On the way to the police
station, the man said that the patrol
cart was too heavy for one horse. He
proposes to purchase pair for it this
morning, and it is also his intention to
give Deputy Hartnett check for several
hundred thousand dollars. The man
says he is about 1000 years old. When
asked for his name and some particulars
about his family, he said he had neither
name nor relations. He appeared to
know something about New York city,
saying that the women he wanted to
shoot he had met on the Bowery. He
was locked up. The police were not
able to identify him last night.

The Schools.

The new heating apparatus in the High
School building is now kept running
night and day. 1t is entirely satisfactory
SO far. The carpenters have finished
eight rooms on tho second floor, and they
are ready for the seats. The black
boards, which are to be of slate through
out the building, will shortly be put in.
The treads on all the staircases are of
solid slabs of slate. This will prevent
any noise in the building when the pu-
pupils are coming up or going down
stairs. The dressing rooms in the CORR
doris are being rapidly completed, and
the cellar floors are being cemented.
Mr.. Steele has been made janitor of
both the High school and Chestnut street
school buildings. Mr.. Robinson, the as
sistant janitor, is sick and unable to
work for the present
Some of the school rooms in other
school buildings have been cold. New
sets Of pipes or stoves will be put in.
Mr.. F. M. Leavitt, superintendent of
manual training in the Boston schools,
is in the city. and visited the manual
class in the North school yesterday af-
ternoon. He expresses himself as much
pleased with the work which is being
done here under the direction of Mr..
Schuerch.
Messrs. Dam & Redmond are to paint
the motto 'Possunt quia posse videntur'
on the wall of the assembly hall in the

Tried to Burn = Wharf.

Some unknown parties lately made an
attempt to burn Union wharf. They en-
tered a small room at the end of the
wharf, and connected with the fish pack
ing house of D. L. Fernald 6 Co., hber-
ally distributed tar around, scattered
paper about, and then set fire to the pa
per. They seem to have then closed the
door, and made their way up the wharf.
For some reason the paper burned out
without doing any damage. 1t is thought
that the parties, whoever they were,
were frightened off before getting things
quite fixed for blaze. M

Tho Spirit of the Law.

A good, practical meaning of sacrifice
is given by B. Fay Mills in the story of a
little girl, who, while away from home on
visit, declined to take the dessert one
day at dinner
"Well, Dolly, you'll take piece of pie2"
No, ma'am," said Dolly, "my mamma
doesn't want me to eat pie.''
Well, how grand we thought it was
that little 6-year-old girl away from
home should do just as her mamma want
ed her to dol
But the next day we had different
kind of pie. The hostess said
II believe you don't take pie, DollyS'
why, yes, ma'am, I'll take piece OF
pie" said the girl hesitatingly.
''Why, Dolly" said her aunt, II thought
your mamma didn't want you to eat PIE. :,
'Well, didn't like that kind OF pie, ="
the girl said.
And 60 it is with our sins. We can give
up those we don't hke.-Ram's Horn.
