Not every angler knows that one Of
the best ways to take white perch Is
with an artificial fly 1t is not only a
good way to make the catch, but it gives
more sport than other ways, and you get
bigger fish.
1.-The first time I ever knew that
white perch would take the artificial fly
was three years ago, while my family
We're spending the summer at Asbury
Park. - said an old fisherman recently.
MY boys had boat on Great pond
there and had caught some of each kind
of fish there We're III the pond They
had a few trout flies in their fishing
kit, and one day, just for lack Of some
thing else to do, one of the boys put a
gray hackle fly Oh his line and skittered
it along. They We're rowing slowly
along the lakeside under the shade of
the big trees that line the upper part.
All of a sudden there was a sharp bite,
and the boy pulled in the biggest white
perch he had ever seem The boys woke
at once to the fact that a new field was
open for sport They continued the slit-
tering and brought home the incest
mess Of big perch that up to that time
had ever seen Day after day they
kept up the fishing until that fall and
never failed to get a mess They tried
other flies, but the gray hack1e proved
the best. New York Sun

YACHT VALKYRIE SUNK.


The VaIkyrIe and Safanita Collide and
Britannia Wins the Race
HUNTERS Quay, Firth of Clyde. July 5.
The regatta of the Mud Hook Yacht
club today opened amid a scene Of ex-
element, which was soon after intensi-
fed by collision between the Valkyrie
and Satanita, which resulted in the sink
ing of the former yacht and the serious
disabling of the latter. The start was
made in a binding mist, the wind how
ever holding good
The Vigilant, George Gould's yacht,
Britannia and Satanita, came up in line
on the port tack to turn the mark boat
while the Valkyrie raced down from
Holy Loche-
The Satanita was too soon by half a
minute; on the other hand the Britannia
was about to luff on the line for a capt
tai start The Vigilant turned it hand
somely and was on the mark boat shortly
after the gun was fired, butthe Britannia
was quicker and got off three lengths
ahead. Then came the excitement of
the day These crafts while preparing
for the start became locked together and
in a few minutes the Valkyrie settled
down and sank, while the Satanita was
so badly damaged that she was obliged
to retire. The force of the collision cut
the Nalkyrie down to the waters edge.
Loud cries were heard from the crews
of the two yachts, and for time it was
feared that number of the crew Of the
Valkyrie had been drowned Happily
this was not the case, as Lord Dunraven,
Watson and the officers and crew Of the
Nalkyrie were picked up by boats which
put out from the shore, and from the
many sailing yachts and steam yachts in
the vicinity Of the scene of the accident
The Inflated yacht lies in % fathOms
of water. In the meanwhile the Vigil
liant and Britannia had gotten away,
not knowing Of the sinking Of the Walk
yrie, or the damage done to the Satan
tia.
The Britannia passed the winning
mark five seconds ahead of the
Vigilant, amid scene Of
the greatest enthusiasm ashore and
at the clubhouse. The time for the
Britannia was five hours and ffty-eight
minutes; the time Of the Vigilant, i've
hours fifty hit minutes and five seconds
Those on shore when the result was
made known gave three cheers for the
Prince of Wales and for the Britannia.

A new idea from Japan is a relief paper
made of pulp from the mulberry tree. One
repeat of the pattern is cut on a cylindric-
al block which is used as a mold, the pulp
being moistened and forced in the depres-
sions- When set, the pattern is removed
and is glued TO a very stiff paper backing
A bold and sharp relief Is obtained in this
way, the lines having all the 1r1nness and
solidity Of wood molding- The material,
being furnished in sheets 3 feet square in
its original gray color and in geOmetric
designs Of large size, may be painted to
give an exact effect of panellng in wood.
For the ground alternating dull yellows
and greens are used when the relief may
be strikingly brought out by contrast in
dark walnut or mahogany. Builders'

PITTsBURG DISPATCH: A novelty
in the Matching of eggs has ap-
peared in the shape of an cleo
trio incubator. The special feature
of this machine is that the heat of
the egg drawer is automa tically regu-
lated to the t1ftieth part of a degree
Fahrenheit. 1t consists Of tank
incubator, heated by radiation from
the bottom of a water tank, which is
constructed on the multitubular sys-
TEN. When the egg drawer reaches
the temperature of lO4 degrees
Fahrenheit an electro thermostat
connects up a dry battery with an
electromagnetic, which actuates a
damper, allowing the heat to escape
though the open air instead of pass
ing through the fues Of the water
tank. This entirely automatic de-
vice is said to effect a saving of 80
per cent. in the fuel used for heating.

SAYS the Massachusetts, Plough
man: Plums in their original char
acter are delicious food, but it seems
that certain merchants are not salts
fed with plums as plums but propose
to change them into olives. 1t may
be doubted if plums by that name
will taste as sweet as in their first
state. These metamorphosed plums
are to masquerade in the market as
olives. The plums are boughtgreen,
Sold to the large picking houses of
the country and appear on the table
as the best imported olives. They
are now of the right size for treat
ment as French or Italian olives as
the demand may be. The plum
orchards Of New York supply the
greater part Of these American
olives. One grower has sold the crop
OF 1000 trees, amounting to some
$4,000 or 10000 bushels, to an olive
picker.

Buttermilk as a Summer Drink.

1t would be a grand result, were it
possible to bring it about, to secure
the consumption of the buttermilk
of the creameries around Chicago by
the laboring people who put their
me ley into the saloon. This would
arrest the awful curse Of strong drink,
the workmen would be nourisned,
strengthened, and placed upon the
road to health and longevity, and
inevitable prosperity instead of that
which now prevails in many quarters
of perjury, misery and want.
The Elgin Dairy Report says: Per-
sons who are obliged to be out of
doors during the intense heat of
summer, and desire nice, cool
and strengthening beverage. will find
nothing better than fresh butter
milk. 1t is better than the alcoholic
drinks, beer, or cider, and for Quench-
ing thirst is preferable to lemonade.
1t is useful in fevers, and if it were
not so cheap, and easily obtainable,
would be used more freely than it is.
1t should not be taken in large guam
titles, but a little at time, and that
SLOWLY. In every case WneTe Une DOuy
is heated by over-exertion, or burn
ing with fever, drink little and often.
Buttermilk acts freely upon the Sc
cretive organs. stimulating the &C
tion of the kidneys and liver, and
acts as mild laxative. purifying the
blood by removing through the chan
nels named the effete, and unhealthy
secretions, and at the same time it is
nourishing. When taking any drink
to the field during the heat of sum-
mer, it should be kept as cool as pos
sible, without the aid of ice, and
whether in can, jug or covered pail
should be wrapped with wet cloth,
and kept in the shade The contents
will then always be found several de-
grees lower than the surrounding at

Careless Fruit Picking.

The crop of cherries, and the crop
Of apples and pears OF next year, must
be started this year in the fruit buds
"Very few people," says c. E Todd
in the Country Gentleman, know
this important fact. | frequently see
the ground beneath and around cherry
trees covered with fruit-spurs, ana
the leaves attached to them. Fruit
FUCKERS haul off, and throw to the
ground all the spurs that are loaded
with fruit, and then separate the
fruit, and throw away the spurs and
buds that would be loaded with fruit
next year. BY hauling off all the
twigs and spurs from the bodies OF
the branches, the limbs are induced
to grow long and slender, and pro-
duce all the fruit at the extremities
of the long branches. We often see
long and naked limbs, sixteen or
twenty feet, without a leaf, tWlg or
branchlet. Such trees have been
pruned in a very unscientif1c and
damaging manner. Look at our cher-
ry trees can climb around IN the
tops and pluck almost every cluster
of ripe fruit. Examine my nelgnoOrs
trees. There are several bushels OF
choice fruit on them which they can
not gather Why? Simply because
the fruit-spurs and twigs have been
pulled off every year with the fruit,
and that injudicious annual pruning
has induced the trees to shoot up
ward, and to send out such long and
slender limbs, bearing very little
fruit, except so high and out of reach
that the crop cannot be gathered. II
those trees had been managed judi
ciously, and the long branches had
not been hauled in with hooks and
mutilated, and if all the truit-spurs
had not been hauled off from year to
year, and every branchlet broken OIL
when it was loaded with ripe fruit,
a person would be able to climb
around on the branches and gather
most of the fruit.

STATISTICS illustrating the growth

STATISTICS illustrating the growth
of trade relations between the United
States and Canada have been trans
mitted to the Senate by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury. The statistics,
which have been prepared by both
the United States and Canadian au-
thorities, cover a period of seventy
three years, from 1921 to 1893, in
elusive. The figures given show,
among other things, that the exports
of merchandise in 1921 from the
United States to Canada amounted to
s2,014, 500, and the imports from that
country to the United States to $4l4,-
500. In 1893, on the other hand, the
exports amounted to 1924, 1873, 1872, and
the imports to 1922, lOS,916. The to-
tai of exports for the seventy three
years covered by the statistics was
81, ACT, l59, 324, and total of the i'm
ports amounted to 81, 300, 957, 1913.
