Fishing with Dogs.

The savages of Saghalin Island
have unique method Of fishing for
salmon trout with their dogs, de-
scription Of which is given in Trans
Siberian Savages." The water around
the island is wonderfully clear. The
author, who went out in canoe,
says the bottom was distinctly visible,
while from under the canoe the
frightened salmon-trout were SWIM
ming seward in such numbers it
seemed as If it would be difficult to
drop a stone into the water without
striking one.
From the time we started l was
puzzled to guess what the Anus
could be taking thirty dogs with them
for. / was soon to find out. At a
certain point all the men and dogs
came to halt. Half the men apd
dogs then moved farther along the
waters edge, about two hundred
yards.
At concerted signal the dogs were
started from their respective points,
and swan straight out seward in
single file in two columns. At a
wild, sharp cry from all the Anus,
the right column wheeled left, and
the left column wheeled right, until
the head of each column met. Then
at another signal all Of them swan
in line toward the shore, advancing
more and more in crescentic forma-
tion.
AS the dogs neared the shore, in.
creasing numbers Of fish appeared in
the shallow water, frightened for
ward by the splashing of the advanc
ing column Of dogs, which, as soon as
their feet touched bottom, pounced
upon the fishes as quick as flash.
The animals promptly brought the
fish which they had seized to theil
masters, who cut off their heads and
gave each dog the head which be
longed to him as his share OF the
catch. The dog who caught nothing
got nothing.
l believe this dog-drill of the
Anus is entirely unique. 1t is all
the more remarkable, too, as the
dogs, many Of which have been cap
tured from the forest, are still half
: wild.

VIII the Peopie Ever Learn To Beware OF
"the Other Mans Cameo"
One Of the surest devices employed
by travelling fakirs at fairs and like
places for winning dollars from the
pockets of the unwary is known as
the beehive, and this is but form Of
the wheel OF fortune. 1t is known as
the "haphaZard" or beehive" and
consists OF an inner and outer cone,

heavy circular piece Of wood around
the rim Of which are thirty-two num-
bered compartments separated by
thin metal plates. The inner cone is
studded with nails driven rather
close together and projecting just
about far enough to touch the outer
one.
The game consists of dropping a
marble through an aperture in the
top of the outer cone. The little
ball pursues a devious way to the
bottom, zigzagging along between
the nails. The compartments are
numbered, and if the marble falls
into one corresponding with the num-

The Pail Mall Budget recently re-
called the fact that August had
brought about the one hundred and
eleventh anniversary Of the loss Of
the Royal George, and tells again an
absurd anecdote connected with the
tragedy. When it was announced
that the ship had gone down, with
some four hundred men, women and
children, the first feeling was one of
incredulity, which speedily gave way
to horror and grief
But even such period Of cOnster-
nation had its grimly humorous side.
The father of Lieutenant Durham,
who was on board the ship, received
a letter, and on reading it, burst into
tears. To the inquiries of his family
as to the cause of his grief, he replied
in broken voice;
"The Royal George has fQundered,
and our dear Peter is drowned" A
general outburst Of tears greeted thi:
announcement, but presently it oc'

that no one can believe a word he

1t proved that Lieutenant Durham
had swum to the rigging, after the
ship sank, and was saved.
This was the officer to whom bis
father had said, when he was leaving
home for the navy, Remember one
thing, Peter. Never tell lie"
Peter seemed somewhat surprised
at the. admonition, and his father
added:
always remember that you never
heard your father tell lie!"
"Zooks, father" replied Peter
promptly. What a liar you are"
