DIGGING FOR SMELT.
The Queer Experience of Visitor 70 the
Maine Shore.


A Boston sportsman who once made a
trip down the Maine shore, speaking Of
his experiences, said:
II found myself at Ogunquit, quiet
little place about 30 miles this side Of
Portland. 1t was dirty, misty day. and
as there was nothing going on at tho no.
tel / slipped into macintosh and
strolled down to the beach, where the surf
was pounding in with terrific din. The
tide was at lowest ebb, and so l had quite
a long walk to reach the waters edge.
For awhile watched the breakers rolling
over each other, and then l started for a
little walk along the sand but q few feet
from the water.
Presently l was surprised on looking
around to find a number of very small and
almost transparent fish, which / took TO
be young smelt, writing about in the wa
ter and near the tracks 1 had left in the
soft sand. AT first 1 thought they had been
washed up by the surf, but in moment
noticed that this could not have been pos
sible, for the water had not reached SO high
a mark on the beach.
81 was much puzzled by the phenome-
non. and a possible solution of the mystery
was not suggested to me until one of the
little smelt which l had picked up and
held in my hand dropped to the ground
and disappeared as if he had melted.
More curious still, began searching for
him, but he was nowhere in sight. Then
l began proddiDg the sand with my stick,
and the next thing l knew had literally
unearthed my little fish, or one exactly
like him. By digging in tho sand had
turned up in walking discovered anoth.
er. 1t seemed they had actually been bur.
led, and to prove it l made little hole
with my finger at smooth and undis.
turbed spot and thrust the head of one OF
the two smelt in it. With twist ard
squirm he disappeared. I dug him up
fully two inches away.
"Still l was not q11ite satisfied, SO I
went to spot q rod o. more away, and
there turned up more Of the little smelt.
The sand was very soft, and by digging
down three or four inches 1 found it so
wet as to be but little more solid than
some thick liquid. On the whole, though,
it struck me as being very strange dis
covery, as 1 had never heard of such o
thing before, and l spent an hour or more
digging 8 inch fish out of the ground"

The Unexpected Discharge Off Cannon
Close by would not have more disturbing
effect upon nerves which are vigorous than
an ordinary noise upon those that are weak
and unstrung. AS a nervine, Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters is unrivalled. BY promoting di-
gestion and assimilation they overcome
that gastric disorder, which is the most pro-
life cause of nervous debility, and which so
long as it exists, defeats in large measure
the action of sedatives and opiates. Such
remedies, moreover, necessitate the use of In
creasing doses, and finally cease to act alto
getheT, except in dangerous quantities. They
never reach the fountain head OF the trouble

French Prince wants an America n

NEW YORK, November 8. -
Albert S. Warner, lawyer of OFT
Broadway, recently received a
letter from Rev. j. Berger, who
says that he is the pastor of a
church in the town of Leopold,
Ind, and that he is acting as
agent for French prince. A
translation of the letter, which is
in French, is as follows:
"If you undertake marriages, 1
will make you the following prop
osition: A young French prince
q friend of mine, desires to con-
tract an American marriage with
a desirable young person worth at
least S2,O00,O00. Do you wish to
undertake to fud such n person?
After the marriage you will re-
ceive $4,000, and if you succeed
in finding such a person before
December LIST you shall receive an
extra reward Of $4,000.
"The young prince in question
belongs to one OF the most Illus
trious French families, the title
dating from the time Of the Cru
sades. He is 20 years old. He
is very pronounced Catholic.
He desires that the young lady
should also be a Catholic, but
nevertheless the question of reli-
gion will not stand in the way. Ii
YOU will attend to this affair please
let me know at once. If not, will
you kindly tell me of some con-
Germ which will undertake it."

WINTER.


Old Winter Is q sturdy one,
And lasting stuff he's made Of.
His flesh Ii firm as iron stone.
There's nothing he's afraid Of.
he spreads his coat upon the heath,
Nor yet to warm 1t fingers.
he scouts the thought of aching teeth
Or chilblains on his fingers.
OF flowers that bloom or birds that sing
Full little cares or knows he.
he hates the fire and hates the spring
And all that's warm and cozy.
But when the foxes bark aloud
On frozen hill and river;
Then round the fire the people crowd
And rub their hands and SILVER;
When frost Is splitting stone and wall,
And trees come crashing after,
That hates he not: he loves II ali;
Then bursts he out In laughter.
His home il by the north poles strand,
Where earth md SEQ are frozen.
His summer house, we understand,
In Switzerland he's chosen.
Now from the north he's hither HE'D
To show his strength and power,
And when he comes we stand aside
And look at him and cower.
