CATCHING NIMBLE FROST FISH.
Il Il Good Sport for People with Keen
Eyes and OuIek Hauds.

With the chilly days Of early December comes
that active and toothsome fellow. the frost fish.
The sides Of the piers and floats, the barnacle-
clad and wsed-grown piles are his dearest hsunts.
He Is not large, averaging in length seven
or eight inches, and a ten-inch fish is a monster.
The novice who angles for these queer things
with rod and line will be sadly disappointed. for
no bait yet discovered will tempt their appetite.
Their slight bulk and their habit Of swimming
far above the bottom makes spearing them i'm
possible, for they offer little or no resistance to
the stroke.

neither by education nor inclination,

and particularly in Paris, all things
had centered around his name.

Sadi-Carnot's grandfather. Count La
care Nicholas Marguerite CarnOt, is to
republican France what Andrew jack
son is supposed to be to the demo-
cratic partisans of our own land. He
w,o a man OF the people, despite his
rank and learning. and was elected to
the national convention OF 1902 with
out opposition. In 1893 he was chosen
member of the committee of public
safety. subsequently he became war
minister. in which position he displayed
remarkable ability. His last appear
cncc as q public man was sensational
and somewhat grotesque. When Ma
polc0n Donaparte had been given up by
most Of his friends, Carnot stuck to his
causc and acted as minister of the in
terror during that period Of French
history known as the "Hundred Days"
The downfall of Napoleon cut short
CarnOt's career of usefulness. He left
his native land and died in exile sew
eral years after the restoration. His
public services then were recognized
BY all classes of society, and in time
French historians spoke of him as ''the
organizer Of victories" Old Carnot
was republican from conviction; but
he was Frenchman above all things.
He would rather serve Napoleon and
see his native land respected than have
the country ruled by weak republicans.
In every one of his public acts he
placed country above party, and in
