The little son of the agent of the South
ern PACING Company, stationed at Bayou
des AllemandS, had an adventure the other
day while fishing for the gay and ever
biting catfish, says the New Orleans
Times-Democrat. The little fellow was
out in the river in a fiat bottOmed boat
and while handling his line suddenly be-
came aware that something out of the
ordinary was at the other end of IT, The
line, which he was holding rather slakly,
became apparently alive, and in a moment
was whizzing through his fingers as If
Old Nick himself was on the hook The
boy endeavored to stay it's outward flight
but to no purpose, and he had the satisfac-
ton or seeing the end reached in quick
order. Fortunately for the remainder Of
the story, the end was securely fastened to
the boat, and as the line tautened out the
little craft began series of maneuvers
on the surface of the river, and the boy
becoming alarmed at the unusual occur
renee, yelled for assistance.
The craft went on with the flood: In the
one end the boy, on the other a powerful
something or another, which, content with
giving, a sample of its skill as head-on
propeller, kept its bulk hidden beneath
the water And still the boy kent on veil
ing, and the boat a-going, until several
men on the bank of the bayou, hearing the
cries, embarked in a skiff, and armed with
a steel harpoon-they had been there he
fore-started for the boy and the boat
and the something another, still under the
water, but occasionally breaking the sur
race as If 1t wanted to fly. When the res
cuers reached the flying craft one of them
seized the tautened fish line, sententfously
remarking, "Grande Ecaille," began to
shorten in, and in about FIVE minutes of
hard work, had brought the capture along
side, where it began cavorting and plung-
ing, throwing the water in clouds Another
OF the men, Selling the harpoon, watched
an opportunity, and in a few minutes more
darted the steel into the cleaning sides
of the fish, for such it was.
When the bank was reached the capture
was taken ashore 1t proved to be a splen-
dld specimen of the tarpon, and measured
over six feet in length, its scales being
larger than a silver dollar, and cleaning
with silver luster and fiecked with a
multitude of other colors.

The opinion prevails in Washington that
the outcome of the Kentucky convention
means, for one thing, that Secretary Car
Isle will be called upon to accept an cleo
ton to the seat in the Senate now oceu-
pied by Senator Blackburn, whether he
wishes to do so or not. The secretary
declared in one of his speeches, it will
be remembered, that he would not be
a candidate for any office within the gift
of the people or Of their representatives.
Whether he could be induced to change
his mind remains to be seen.

have got the House, the populists have the
balance of power in the Senate, and Gro
yer Cleveland is in the white house. How
in heavens name can anything be done in
the next congress except TO pass appropri-
alton bills?" Probably. after all, do

IN the last general election.

The actions of the democratic State con-

hope that Blackburn will have a majority

the immediate future at least, he will

cause the free silver forces were the first

From Peach Springs, Ariz., comes the
story of the finding of one of the biggest
nuggets of silver on record. The nugget.
or rather boulder, is said to weigh nearly
half ton, and to be composed of almost
pure silver. Its value is approXimated at
$4,000, at the commercial value of silver.
Under the proposed free coinage law it
would be worth probably $4,000 or more.
The free coinage people think the discov-
erers of the nugget ought to be permitted
returned to them, without cost, made into
dollars.

to tap the richest copper lode in the world.

In Warwick, Mass, the other day,
says the New York Tribune Mrs. Weis-
ner, a Christian Scientist, challenged
Paul Goldsbury to clasp hands, the one
that held on longest to be the victor. The
clasp was not broken for eighteen hours,
and then by outsiders. AS the hours
went on their friends demonstrated with
them, but to no purpose. Signs Of mental
disturbance came after night of hand
clasping, and friends who had watched
them meanwhile constantly entreated
them to desist. In the morning sharp
words were spoken by friends and in con-
sequence Godsbury and Mrs. Weisner
went to the village commons, all the time
clasping hands. There the friends deter
mined that the couple should be parted
by force If necessary, and Postmaster
Sandson and William Shepardson told
Mrs. Weisner and Goldbury that force
would be employed unless the contest was
stopped. They declined TO unclasp hands,
and then Sandson took Goldbury by the
arm and pulled him from the commons to
the street, but the clasp was unbroken
BY main force the two men then parted
the contestants In order to subdue
Goldsbury ii was necessary to take him to
his summer home and tie him. He is still
under the care of a nurse.

Lifting Power of Roots.

A Tennessee correspondent, signing him.
self lone Curious to Know" makes the
following inquiry: "Thcre are here in the
street sidewalks, which are paved with very
heavy flagstone, shade and magnolia gran
diflora trees from 90 to 80 years old. The
stones weigh from so to 200 pounds each,
and many over that, yet the roots of these
trees, especially the magnolia, raise the
flag and curhstonos high as if by hand or
lever power. Now, wherein is the power?'
The exact nature Of these lifting powers
has not been accurately determined, so far
as the conductors of this magazine know.
The immense power, however, has long
been recognized. A mushroom has been
known to lift heavy paving stone in one
night; but, after all, this lifting power is
not much greater than the sustaining pow
or of the branches themselves. 1t must
have often occurred to observers that the
leverage possessed by some of the horizon
tai branches of trees must be enormous.
Just in sight Of where this paragraph was
written is Il horizontal branch of elm OK
tending at least 30 feet, and not more than
inches thick at the point where it starts
from the main branch. The weight of the
smaller branchlcts which this has to sus-
tain is probably not less than 100 pounds,
yet it has taken that horizontal direction
for some four or five years and is still not
an inch out Of its horizontal line. There
is a fine field for original discovery in this
direction. -Meehan's Monthly.

shirred around the neck below the ribbon

a round neck, trimmed with frills of lace
just low enough to dispense with stand

back. Tho skirts arc almost plain, being
gored little at the sides and in trout,
plainly hemmed and hung over sheer

sleeves are made in one or two puffs to the
elbow, where they end in a band Of inscr-
ton edged with lace.

Kansas Sod Houses.

The farmer cuts the slabs of sod for
building purposes just as sod is cut for
transplanting grass.
The buffalo grass indigenous to the
western Kansas country grows like a
thick mat of closely curling tough heritage,
reminding one of the kinky hair of u
Guinea negro The slabs of this sod, about
Is by "a inches and inches thick, hold
together like rolls of thick felt.
They are laid in courses like building
stone and pressed closely together, and the
roof is made Of timbers and frequently
matched Tho inside is then smoothed
with the native lime which makes an ex-
cellcnt plaster.
The coat of limo is sometimes applied
outside also. but usually these sod houses
present natural dun color like the winter
prairie. In some cases the floor is made by
excavating a few feet and then trainping
the ground solid with horses; otherwise a
regular wood floor is laid
The window and door frames are fitted
as in the building stone houses. The sod
house contains frequently only one room,
but some have two and even three rooms.
The clements tend to make one mass of
the sod rather than dissipate and crumble
it.
They last about five years.-kansas City

ADVICE FOR ANGLERS.
The Marvellous Beauties of Nature More
to BE Enjoyed Than Killing Fish.

% gentle angler you who are fortunate
enough to get away from the business
treadmill, look to it that you take your
sport as an honest angler should 1t may
be great fun to kill them as fast as you can
drag them out; there may be certain sat
isfaction in killing more than the other
fellow can show; but, believe me, these
feats do not constitute the real pleasures
of angling. One need not be forever star
ing at an arching rod or straining silk.
Ones ears need not always be filled with
the click of a string spewing, string eating
nondescript clock, which measures the life
of q captive as our watches measure our
days. An angling outfit offers many better
things than dead fish.
"The marvellous life stirring in every
thing, the merry gossip of the brook, the
ceaseless music of joyous birds the hues of
countless flowers, the perfumed, lazy
breeze, the beauty, healthfulness and puri-
ty of it all will yield to the observing an
glers more lasting pleasure than ever falls
to the lot of the man who fishes for count
and estimates his qualification by the
amount of life he can destroy within
given time. No fish should be taken that
cannot be properly used, and no man wor-
thy of the name Of gentleman angler will
kill for count. 1t is not all-nay, It's not
half-of fishing to kill fish !'-Outing
