Rapid Growth.

Ten years have passed since the
Loeb Leven trout were introduced into
this country, and anglers say that
they are likely to replace the common
native brook trout. While the fisher.
mon who have gained their love for
angling by wadins the Adirondack,
Pennsylvania or New England streams,
where the bright red and vermilion
spotted trout were abundant, feel that
there is no species on the face of the
globe that can compare with the
American, yet the large size of the Eu.
ropean species makes him welcome. The
rapid growth of the brown trout, and
the remarkable size that those first
brought over have attained, has shown
that the fish adapt themselves to
American streams. In some brooks
whore they have been introduced they
have crowded out the original speckled
Inhabitants with the exception Of the
largest ones. With the pickerel de.
vastating the Adirondack lakes, and
the brown trout usurping the streams.
there seems no place for the brook
trout. To the angler the brown trout
is satisfactory. They are a vigorous
fish, and play well. In point of beau.
ty, however, they are far Inferior to the
native American trout. The small fish
are excellent eating, though many claim
that the mountain trout are superior.
If the brook trout are to go, however,
the brown follows will be a welcome
substitute. .n..as

Primitive COOkin0

Ono of the most healthful kinds of
corn bread was that used in Kentucky
half century ago. when people were
compelled to live on the simplest and
most natural fare. Salt was worth a
dollar pound. and skillet" was an
article Of luxury. There were three
preparations Of corn meal In Kentucky,
oil mixed alike, but baked differently !;
tho corn dodger," the "pone," and the
"hoe cake" As much Indian meal as
is wanted, with salt and sufficient water
to knead the mass. This allowed to
stand about twenty minutes, so that all
the meal is thoroughly moistened. Part
Of this is made into balls, and thrown
into pot where bacon and cabbage
Tor greens) are boiling. By the force
OF the boiling water. these little balls
are seen to pop up and down, and
dodge about hence the name "dod-
gers" If now some of the same dough
be formed into fiat cake, say an inch
thick, and placed on the hoe, this, held
over hot Goals until baked brown, gives
the true "hoe cake" The remaining
portion of dough is put in some iron
utensil Skillet or pot) and the cover
adjusted. The skillet is placed on live
GOALS, which are also heaped upon its
iron cover, and left to stand until the
mass is properly baked. The cake is
taken out by turning the skillet upside
down, and constitutes the original type
of "pone."

On q Torpedo Boat,

There are boats and boats; and OF
all uncomfortable boats to travel in

the hatchways were much too narrow

the boat rolled so that the water was
flung out as soon as it was poured in.
Consequently, I am afraid we were
grimy with coal dust and crusted with
salt most of the time.
Our food, too, was difficulty. As q
rule, we lived on ham, sardines and
timed soups; for most of the time the
weather was so rough 1t was as much
as we could do to get a little water
boiled. We had atable about eighteen
inches wide in the cabin; but 1t was no
good having it laid, for nothing would
stay on it. The usual plan was for one
man to hold the sardine tin while tho
other picked out the sardines by their
tails and transferred them to his mouth.
Ham always required two men, one to
hold it and the other to cut it; but the
soups were capital. I do not know what
we would have done without those
timed soups; they were our stand by.
We heated the tins, then carefully
opened a corner, each man held his
plate and had little poured in, which
he drank before he got any more.

Facts About Gray Hair.

Many persons begin to show gray
hairs while they are yet in their TWEEN.
ties, and some while In their teens.
This does not by any means argue a
premature decay of the constitution.
1t is purely local phenomenon, and
may co-exist with unusual bodily vigor.
Many feeble persons and others who
have suffered extremely, both mentally
and physically. do not blanch hair
until past middle life; while others,
without any assignable cause, lose their
capillary coloring matter rapidly when
about forty years of age.
Race has a marked influence. The
traveller DR.. d'Aubigny says that in the
many years he spent in South America
he never saw bald Indian, and scarce.
ly a gray haired one.
In tho United States sex appears to
make little difference. Men and women
grow gray about the same period in
life.
In men the hair and beard rarely
change equally. The one is usually
darker than the other for several years,
but there seems to be no general rule
as to which whitens first
The spot where grayness begins diff.
fers with the individual. The philoso.
pher Schopenhauer began to turn gray
on the temples, and he consequently
formed theory that this was an indi
cation of great mental activity.
