A BIG FISH STORY.
How Fish Are Caught by the Red Men In
Indian Territory.

How Fish Are Caught by the Red Men In
Indian Territory.
The biggest fish fry on record in the
Creek nation, or perhaps Indian terri
tory, came off at Rock ford, on the
north fork of the Canadian river, two
miles east of Eufaula, the other day,
says the Fort Worth Gazette. About
two thousand pounds of fish were
caught and about five hundred Creeks
from all parts of the nation took part
in the grand fish festival. Over fifteen
hundred bundles of devils shoestring"
were used by them to vitiate the water
preparatory to catching the fish.
This mode of fishing is practiced q
great deal by the Indians, and is the
best way in the world to catch lots Of
fish. The way they do this is simple.
The day IS agreed upon py all the In
dians to meet at certain place at the
river, and everyone that wants any Of
the fish is required to bring with him
fifteen bundles of 'devil's shoestring."
The day set all meet to select off mar
shals to conduct the affair. 1t is their
duty to collect all the fishing gigs,
spears, ETC., and enroll the names of all
who are entitled to take part.
Just about daybreak the next day
the pounded shoestring is put in sacks
and put in the water the entire width
of the river. It soon makes all the fish
in the stream SO drunk that they can
easily be picked up out of the shallow
water or gigged or killed in the deep
water. The command is given to 60 in
and get them. and they are brought to
the banks by the boat loads, many
weighing as much as eighty and one
hundred pounds. The frying process
is then commenced by the women and
q general feast is had. The shoestring
poisons the water for five miles below

MANS CHANCE HAS COME.
There Are Places Where He Can Wear
His Hat at Entertainments.

There Are Places Where He Can Wear
His Hat At Entertainments.
Last winter women were almost per-
suaded that they were sinners above
all others. Now they know better.
If men did not wear their high hats in
the theaters it was not out of considera-
tion to the people back of them, but it
was the custom. All they lacked was
opportunity. This they now have,
says the New York Evening Sun. At
the roof garden the man wears
a hat. 1t is, perhaps, not high.
but its acreage equals that Of
any hat worn by women. It's pow
ers of eclipse are greater. The erec-
tions of a woman's hat were never
solid. A person behind could always
get some sort of a view between up
standing bows, through the foliage or
the feathery filaments of an aigrette.
If by chance the feminine hat has
broad brim it lets up, as it were, occa-
sionally. 1t is tucked up in the back,
caught up at the side. It allows for
views under or over its waving out
lines. A woman's hat has per-
forations, or it is perhaps of lace,
through which some sense of the
scene in front may be gained
This may be unsatisfying, but it is not
the hopeless blank effacement that q
mans head covering this season pre-
sents. Formidable as it is, it would be
less so if the man would wear it plumb
on the top of his head, as women wear
theirs. But when q man is seated at
roof garden with q table in front of
him, he shows disposition to wear
his hat as halo. This the more un-
reasonable, since he has no bangs
yvherewith to make halo becoming.

Progress Of Our Southern Nelghbors In
Educational Matters.

The City of Mexico has q normal
school for women teachers. in which
free instruction in four years course
is given to students. The government,
according to the New York CONNER
cial. has provided for the education of
women in literary and scientific in.
stitute. which has high grade Of
study. A lyceum for women was also
founded in 1878, which takes up sub
jects that are considered essential to
the proper training of women. In the
School of Arts there are many busy
students. from the young girl to the
woman of mature years, all of whom
receive free instruction in such branch
es as printing, bookbinding. sewing,
fancy work. knitting, trimmings,
fringes, making cords and tassels. Pi-
ano and vocal music is also taught
The Mexicans bid fair to rival the
United States as well as Europe in ed
ucating their daughters for that higher
sphere for which nature intended
them.

Poor City Children.
Among the hills of Berkshire county
in western Massachusetts, was pictur-
esque village known as Curtisville. 1t
was not town, but village within
the limits of Stockbridge, and only two
and half miles from the center of
that historic town. Forty years ago
there were about one thousand inhab-
itants in this village. A church, hotel,
stores, and many handsome private
residences gave an inviting aspect to
the village. The environment was
very attractive. Springs abounded.
and the small stream which flowed
through the village turned the wheels
of two or three large mills.
That such q village should have
been deserted is one of the strange
facts of modern times. Mining towns
in some instances have been aban-
doned, either because the mines gave
out or were closed. But in this village
among the hills of Berkshire the great
mills closed one day, and thereafter
never was wheel turned. The inhabi-
on the manufacturing industry. They
finally moved away, and for once an
abandoned village remained, with
empty churches, stores, hotels and
dwellings,. What could be done with
a deserted village which might never
again be turned to manufacturing ac-
count?
The New York Tribune, which has
gathered large sums of money every
year for its ''fresh-air fund.-" recently
gave some account of what had been
done to recover this village. A
wealthy and childless New York lawyer
had passed through that abandoned
village many times during vacation
seasons, wondering what could be
done in the way of rehabilitation. He
found that the right of occupation
could be turned over to him and he
could even buy the dwellings for a
nominal sum. The village would
make capital place for the poor chill
dren sent out from New York in mid
summer by means of the fresh air
fund. The man, who had lost his only
daughter, would do something in her
name. The abandoned village is to
be rejuvenated and filed with children
for part of the year. ST. Helen's
home is to have dormitories, swim
ming baths, flower gardens. . gym
nasium, and everything that can make
the boys ard girls town attractive.

TROLLEY ACROSS THE OCEAN,.

of That Kind May Give In
creased Speed in the Future.
1t is pretty well understood that the
limit of speed in ocean steamers is
about reached if the present models
are adhered to, and that if there is to
be any gain in swiftness it must be by
the trial of new form. The difficulty
is to devise q vessel of which the
structural strength shall be great
enough to carry the massive engines
requisite for increased speed and at the
same time to resist the force, of the
ocean storms. If the sea were calm
there would be no difficulty in increas-
ing the speed of the ocean grey
hounds, "but with the tremendous force
ofwaves and storms it is not possible to
do this with the present models.
The Boston Courier thinks it is
not impossible that the solution of
the problem lies in the sub
marine ship, and that the passenger
steamer of the future will go under
water instead of across its surface.
The advance made in the planning and
working of submarine boats in the last
ten years makes this seem not wholly
impossible, as it must have looked
once; and there is no doubt that the
freedom from the effects of surface
storms would allow swiftness which
could hardly be arrived at on the sur
face It might also solve the question
of seasickness, as it is probable that
submarine locomotion would be much
smoother and less disturbing to the
stomach than the present method of
travelling. All that one can say, how
ever, is that we shall see what we shall
see.
Perhaps the steamer of the future
will be operated on trolley by means
of submarine cable. The advantages
of this plan would be great, as it would
prevent the necessity of carrying i'm
mense quantities of fuel and Of keep
ing the vessel loaded down with enor-
nous engines. All the delay and diff
Guilty and expense Of managing fur
naces and engines on board ship would
be done away with by the oceanic
trolley system, and the ships could be
made so much lighter that they could
go whizzing across the ocean in a
couple of days. Danger of accident
could be brought to be no greater than
it is at present by having sufficient
number of repair steamers on the
route; which could keep the cables in
repair and in case of any accident to
the trolley could bring the passenger
boat into port. or put it again in con-
nection with the cable. There can be
no question that the proper means of
crossing the Atlantic quickly is by
some system which will allow the mo-
tive power to be applied from the
shore, either by trolley or cable.
The limit of speed for ships that carry
engines and fuel is certainly practically
reached on the surface. and there are
difficulties in the way Of submarine
navigation which it would be hard to
conquer. The trolley system is eapa-
BILE of great extension, and we may yet
live to get to Europe by its means.
