HAVE YOU HAD THE GRIP ?

The othordox old-school doctors con-
sidered disease an organized enemy
which carried on an actual warfare

invisible enemy.
The belief today is that disease is a
delicate organization out Of gear and

Oneen Mnry,s LapdOg.

Mary Queen Of Scots had II favorite
lapdog, which is said to have been present
at the execution Of its poor mistress in
Fotheringay castle. After the royal
lady had been beheaded the faithful
creature refused to leave her dead body
and had to be carried out Of the hall by
force. At that period lapdogs were the
pets of men as well AZ Of women. Dr.
Boleyn, relation of the unhappy Queen
Anne Boleyn, owned one which" as it
is written, ''he dotted on" Anne once
asked him to grant her one wish and in
return he should have whatever he might
desire. Knowing his affection for the
dog, she begged it Of him and Of course
the doctor had nothing to do but to give
it to her. And now, madam" he said,
"you promised to grant my request"

A BIG THING ON PAPER.

When it comes to extensive news
paper issues, the New York World OF
Sunday, May 7, caps the climax and
skaters previous records. On that
day, by way of celebrating an un-
usual ten-years record in the line OF
expenditures, the World came out
with one-hihdred page number,
enclosed in a handsomely illumi-
na'ed cover and including a Devil
dering amount Of reading matter
and advertisements. A miscelane-
Gus assortment of illustrations are
also given; the history of the World
is recounted in glowing terms /;
column after column is devoted to
emphasizing what that great news
paper has accomplished since it be-
gan it's career, and an immense ar
ray of figures is given as showing
especially what has been done by
way of circulation, advertising and
general business during the past ten
years.
AS stroke of enterprise this per
ticular issue of the World is a great
feat, and proves very conclusively
what American journalism can do
when it starts out on special lines
1t will be remembered that the pres.
ent managing editor of the World is
Col. Geo. B. M. Harvey, formerly OF
Peacham, in this county.

TWO WAYS OF CATCHING TROUT.

ely fishing for trout is practiced
in lakes and ponds either from
boat or the shore, the better places
being the falls Of streams, rocky
patches and banks, reefs, sandbars
and streams. Look for the trout in
rapid runs, and in all rapid waters
carrying brisk ripple or curl, in
pools with sharp current through
them, and in eddies and basins at
the foot of water falls" writes
Charles Frederic Danforth in the
New England Magazine. "In lake
fishing casting may be performed at
random in any likely place; and if
he fish are breaking" which gener
ally takes place either at early morn
ing or sunset, throw your fly so
that it will land in the centre of the
ring where the fish bells up" The
better way of fishing streams with
flies is down and across the current,
beginning under the further bank
and ending under the near one.
Another good way of capturing
trout is by trolling with the live
minnow or silver sides, as it is
sometimes called This method is
accepted by sportsmen as the thing,

Two farmers recently laid wager
that one could hold a wasp longer in his

rubbed ch!oroform on his hands expected
to win, but the other happened to know
that male wasps do not sting, and ac-

Evidence Of the SUMS Variability.

We cannot rest with the assumption
that, since the sun is evidently no Mira
and no Sirius, therefore it is practically
an unchanging radiator which for an in
definite period will continue to cause
the earth to bloom III the beneficent eff
fulgence of its life inspiring rays. A sun
may affect the welfare of its planets
either through the gradual mutations
which it undergoes in the course OF its
evolution, or through the more rapid
and violent changes that characterize
the stars that are ranked as variable
We have seen that most of these latter
belong to the third and fourth classes
but there is reason to suspect that tAt
majority of all the stars are variable tt
slight degree, and evidence of varia
bility in the case of the sun is furnished
by the phenomena of sun spots. Ct. +
