IFishes sleep.

"Never saw a fkh sleep, chi" SAN
Cornelius Human. oWell, Thnve. I've
seen them sleep sound and much to their
sorrow, especially catfish. Thera IS
nothing more wary than Q fish. You
know that you can't creep up on them
nor drop a pebble anywhere within fifty
leet OF them but what they will dodge
away; that is, when they are not. asleep.
aow l come to know so much Of this Is
that I have caught them without baii
when they were sleepiug, although I did
use a hook and line. The first one that
ever caught this way was a large cat.
fish thatI observed daily to be in one
particular spot-the base Of q wooden
pile that supported an ice house chute
Lhat led out into the water. A kind Of
nest was there, a depression in the mud,
aud here that catfish was to be found
every day at about 2 p. m. It would
lay ior hours in the rays Of the ~afternoon
sun and newer move. / decided to catch
it. First Ihished around there day after
day. but to- no purpose. Bait of any
kird wasn't any inducement to that cat
fish. L concluded that it must be asleep,
when it would allow a fat minnow to
swim by and never touch it. l got a
sharp plain hook, which I properly
weighted, so that it would act direct.
Covered it aud moved it slowly up to the
vide of the fish. Then I turned the line
so that the hook was directly under it.
Then 1 gave a quick jerk; the catfish
larted away, but not very far. I had
aim foul, and all because be was sleep

A rather reckless Biddeford man. With

bv the wholesale, which did not work As
we'll as be thought. He thought that a

there we're said to be lots of trout. He

mouth, got back to shore, and started
after his master, who was Logging It

The Gray Wolf DIsappearIng.

The large wolf OF North America IL
commonly known as the timber or gray
wolf. It was formerly generally dis
tributed throughout North America
from the Arctic regions to the tropics,
but has, OF course, disappeared from all
settled portions Of the country.
Over the larger portion Of Its range
this wolf is gray in color, but in Arctic
regions it is white, or nearly so, while
in Florida and some Of the Gulf States
and in British Columbia q black form
exists. In Texas there are red or bay
wolves.
Except in its color, the large wolf OF
North America is everywhere the same,
but in Its habits there is more difference,
caused BY the circumstance OF is
environment. The wolves OF the North
feed to q considerable extent on reindeer
and caribou. those OF the East on deer,
while those OF tho South prey on deer
and on the wild hogs which run at large

Rev. j. j. LAwLER, Of st. Paul, is en-
gagged in a religious controversy with
one Rev. Morgan, an Episcopalian minis
ter of the sanity city, on the apostolic
succession in the Established Church OF
England of which Queen Victoria is the
head, according to the law of the land.
Commenting on the Protestant authori-
ties quoted by Rev. Morgan, Father Law
Ter truly says that "the assertions Of
such partisans are good it borne out by
facts, but if they are not substantiated
by facts they have not q feathers weight"
Well said, but Father Lawler cannot ex-
pect his antagonist to quote non .parti-
sans in a matter of this kind. The Prot
estant ministers always quote authorities
favorable to their side even though such
authorities are entitled to no credence
We venture to say that the controversy
between the two clerical gentlemen in the
st. Paul Dispatch will end in smoke,
and that each OF them will hold his own
opinion still. The public will not care to
know who has the best of the discussion.
