front of our camp in a merry, musical
rapid. 1T was full of fish of various
kinds-long-nosed pickerel, wall-eyed
pike and stupid club. But the prince
of the pool was the fighting ouanan-
iche, the little salmon of st. John.
Here let me chant thy praise, thou
noblest and most high-minded fish, the
cleanest feeder, the merriest liver, the
loftiest leaper, and the bravest warrior
of all creatures that swim! Thy cous-
in, the trout, in his purple and gold
with crimson spots, wears a. more
splendid armor than thy russell and sill
yer mottled with black, but thine is the
kinglier nature. His courage and skill
compared with thine
Are as moonlight unto sunlight, and
as water unto wine'
The old salmon Of the sea who begot
thee, long ago, in these inland waters
became a backslider, descending again
to the ocean, and grew gross and heavy
with coarse feeding. But thou, unsalt-
ed salmon of the foaming floods, not
landlocked, as men call thee, but choos-
ing of thine own free will to dwell on a
loftier level, in the pure, swift current
of living stream, hast grown in grace
and risen to better life Thou art not
to be measured by quantity, but by
quality, and thy five pounds of pure
vigor will outweigh a. score of pounds
of flesh less vitalized by spirit. Thou
feedest on the flies of the air, and thy
food is transformed into an aerial pas
sion for flight, as thou springest across
the pool, vaulting towards the sky
Thine eyes have grown large and keen
by peering through the foam, and the
feathered hook that can deceive thee
must be deftly tied and delicately cast
Thy tail and fins, by ceaseless conflict
with the rapids, have bpoadened and
strengthened, so that they can flash
thy slender body like living arrow UP
the fall. AS Lancelot among the
knights, so art thou among the fish, the
plain-armored hero, the sunburnt
champion of all the water-folk.
Every morning and evening Grey
gown and would go out for ouanan-
iche, and sometimes we caught plenty
and sometimes few, but we never came
back without good catch of happi-
ness. There were certain places where
the fish liked to stay. For example, we
always looked for one at the lower cor
ner of a big rock, very close to 1t,
where he could poise himself easily on
the edge of the strong downward
stream. Another likely place was a
straight run of water, swift, but not too
swift, with a sunken stone in the mid
die. The ouananiche does not like crook
ed, twisting water An even current is
far more comfortable, for then he dis
covers just how much effort is needed
to balance against it, and keeps UP the
movement mechanically, as If he were
half asleep. But his favorite place is
under one of the floating islands Of
thick foam that gather in the corners
below the falls. The matted flakes give
a, grateful shelter from the sun, fancy,
and almost all game-fish love to lie in
the shade; but the chief reason why the
ouananiche haunt the drifting white
mass is because it is full of flies and
gnats, beaten down by the spray of the
cataract, and sprinkled all through the
foam like plums in a cake. To this

to the sleeves, for to do anything to
save money is of course never thought
of by fashions creators. Whatever the
designers reason was, it can be adapt
ed to economy, for the shattered gown
of black chiffon that is a remnant of
the summer dancing wardrobe will fur
nish a. lovely pair of such sleeves.
Sleeves that show fine shoulders at
their best by starting we'll over the
shoulders curve are we'll thought of
now, and they give a character to a
dress that is almost always am advan-
tage. A model of this sort is shown
here, the dress fabric being a finely
striped wooden suiting. The fitted bod
ice has a point back and front and
shows a. plastron of cream guipure in
front only. 1t fastens invisibly at the
side and is garnished with draperies of
velvet that cross in front and terminate
in bows at the shoulders and waist.
A twist of the velvet, too, tops the
seams of the sleeve puffs.
1t really seems as if we are no longer
to be attacked by splashes of frantic
color. The summer girl has lombard
ed us with her bright reds and her bril-
liant greens, and we remember the aw-
full row she made with puppies little
while ago, but artistic discretion seems
to prevail in the midst of~the carnival
rich color shown in the new designs.
There is a lot of difference between a
carnival and a chaotic mixture, and
between riot and richness.

FASHION NOTES.
New Sleeves of Old sturs.

Many gowns for dressy indoor wear
are being shown with dropping sleeves
of chiffon made brilliant and heavy by
spangles, neither chiffon or spangIes
appearing in the rest of the dress,
Such sleeves are usually in black and
the spangles chiefly emerald, black and
gold. AS the best spangles cost from
fifteen to thirty cents a dozen, to cover
entirely pair of yards-and-yards
sleeves cost little something, but that
isn't the reason the effort is confined

Il Ne w WkINKLE.

Mrs. wentworth, of Philadelphia,
had the misfortune TO lose her
husband by death the other day
We are careful to thus precisely speak
of her loss, for many women now
adays lose their husbands by desertion
or divorce and often their loss is not a
misfortune. But Mrs. Wentworth's loss
was a misfortune, because she was not
seeking a divorce or hoping that her
husband would desert her. In addition
to being contented and happy wife
Mrs. Wentworth was also a. contented
and happy bicycle rider. A few days
after the death Of her husband she felt
that she needed some distraction from
sorrowful thoughts and her mind turn
ed to her beloved bicycle which in hap
pier days had given her diversion. She
thought she would try what a bicycle
ride would do for her IN her days of
woe. And I'M order to show herself and
her neighbors that the memory of her
husband was still with her she draped
her bicycle with Grape. 1t Is possible
that she felt that such drapery would
save her from the accusation of being
frivolous" in taking bicycle ride so
soon after the death of her husband.
But it did not have exactly the effect
she intended it to have. She underes-
timated the propensity of her neighbors
to talk and her own power to
propitiate that propensity. They talk
ed about her with great volubility and
gusto, and now she has got into the
papers and will be talked about all
over the world.
Why should there be any ungentIe
criticism of Mrs. Wentwortll's action?
She has not shown any disloyalty to
her husbands memory He was as
dead as he could be when she went
out bicycle riding with Grape on her
wheel. She couldn't help him by mop
ing in the house, and she could re-
member him as she rode. That she in
tended to is clearly shown by the fact
that she put Grape on her wheel to re-
mind herself and others that she was
remembering him. So there is nothing
morally or sentimentally wrong with
her action. There is also nothing legal
ly wrong with it. 1t has been decided
by the courts that the bicycle is
vehicle, and it is not against the law
for widows of a few days standing to
go out riding in or on a vehicle. They
do it, and they are the better for it.
Do not widows go out riding in four
wheeled vehicles, and do they not
show such signs of mourning that all
the world can know that they are not
forgetting the beloved dead? Do they
not clothe their coachmen and footmen
in solemn black and put mourning
rosettes on the head-stalls of their car
riage horses? Why, then, cannot Mrs.
Wentworth ride her one-wheeled We
hicle and with propriety drape it with
black signs of woe when she rides?
1t is a little singular that the setting
of a new fashion should have been done
in sleepy, slow-going Philadelphia, but
it has been done, and we expect to see
it rapidly spread, in spite of the talk
of some of Mrs. Wentworth's neigh
bors or the talk of others who are like
minded. Decorous rides by bereaYed

Miss Milicent w. Shinn, formerly edi-
tor ofsthe Overland Monthly, has been
studying subject that has lately called
out some speculation, "The Marriage
Rate of College Women" She has care
fully gathered statistics from all of the
women's colleges of the country, and
these she includes in an article with the
above title, written for the October
number of the Century. She finds the
ultimate probability of a college wom-
ans marriage to be below 55 per cent,
against 80 per cent. for other women
not quite two-thirds as great. Location
has something to do with the question.
The college women marry most in the
middle West, and least IN the north At
lantic States. The reason is not that
college women crave public life, Miss
Shinn declares, but largely because
they are employed as teachers in girls
schools, a station in life more inimical
to marriage than any other save that of
a nun.

Russia has a big canal scheme In the

the Black and the Baltic seas by ship
canal that will be nearly a thousand
miles long, with a depth of thirty feet,
a surface width of 200 feet and a bot
tom width of 100 feet. This canal will
start from Riga, and, following the
courses of the Divina, Beresina and
Dnieper rivers, will terminate at KheT-
sou on the Black sea. 1t is estimated
that fifteen years work will be requir-
ed and an expenditure of 100000 rou-

ed by electricity, SO that vessels will be
able to traverse it in six days, moving
at the rate of about seven miles an

The English Board Of Agriculture has

The English Board Of Agriculture has
just issued an interesting report, show
!, ing what a. great and sudden change
has come over British agriculture. The
report is for the year ending on June
last, and it establishes that within the
year the area of Great Britain devoted
to wheat has diminished by over one
fourth. The reduction In percentage is
26.5, and in area 51O,331 acres. The de-
crease is uniform throughout the is
land, since it amounts to far more than
the total wheat belts" of Scotland and
Wales put together. OF the whole
wheat area over "a per cent. Is English.
This is clear proof that foreign COM
petition in wheat has at last proved too
much for the British farmer to attempt
ito sustain.

The English, having seen much mon
ey made out of beer in their own coun-
try, took a notion that it would be a
good thing to invest in beer in this
country. So they put ninety millions
into beer breweries here, put they have
never received the dividends which
the property was expected to produce,
and the certificates or stocks stored
away in British vaults have depre-
ciated in value until rney now repre-
sent over thirty millions of dollars.
These Englishnen are the owners of
severlty-nine breweries in this country,
which were bought at fair prices. Upon
gaining possession of these properties
the English syndicate recapitalized
them at immense figures and resold the
stock, which on account OF the reliabil-
dty of brewery stocks in England went
quickly to small holders at prices vary
ing from par to $50.
