An Old Trick.

From the steam launch Frolic, at an
Choir on Sebec lake last August, said q
New York man, telling of some events
of his summer vacation, we were sinking
for landlocked salmon in 100 feet of wa
ter. Some of our party, being thirsty,
complained that the lake water was too
warm for pleasant drinking.
Il can easily get you water as cool as
you like" said the captain. Just see
how / do it,
He took from the locker a heavy quart
bottle that had contained ginger beer,
tied a stout fishing line to its neck and
lowered it, uncorked. TO the bottom of
the lake. There he allowed it to re-
idly to the surface and took it aboard the
launch. From the bottle he filed a glass
and passed it to a passenger, who found
the water as clear and cold as spring
water. Icing could not have improved it
to the taste Of any member of the party.
Its a trick which every fresh water
sailor ought to know" said the captain,
land yet people who have sailed on in
land waters all their life haven't found
it out. The water at the bottom in deep
lakes is always cold, and on rock or clay
or sandy bottoms is clearer and purer
than at the surface.
AS the bottle is lowered, the air in
side keeps the surface water out and
escapes slowly at the lakes bottom. AS
the bottle is hauled up the warmer water
near the surface cannot displace the
colder and denser water which it con-
tains. With depth of water, over
hard bottom, and a heavy bottle, no fish
erman need lack pure, cold drinking wa
ter in any inland lake. Youths Com

Nude Pictures.

Venice is disturbed by the question of
the nude. Signor Crosse, a Turin paint
er, has in the exhibition a sensational
picture called The Last Rendezvous"
Don Juan lies dead in his coffin in a
church lighted by torches; all the women
he has deceived have come to see him,
and fill the church; but they have forgot
ten to bring their clothes and the only
drapery they have is a few flowers. When
the Empress of Austria saw the picture,
her only criticism was that there were
too many flowers. The Patriarch of
Venice has forbidden good Catholics from
attending the exhibition because the scene
OF the picture is in a church. The pct-
ure swings on a pivot, and. when boarding
schools come near, it is turned face to the

When They Cut Their Boards.

In France Henry ". was the last
sovereign who wore q beard, and he
had tolerably fine one. He was sue
ceeded by beardless minor, in compli-
ment to whom the curators shaved all
their boards except the mustaches.
The succession of another minor con-
firmed the custom, and ultimately the
mustaches also disappeared. The
Spaniards, more tardily influenced by
French example, kept their boards
until the French and English were be-
ginning to relinquish even mustaches.
Perhaps they would have kept the
cherished appendage; but a French
prince-Philip V.-succeeded to the
Spanish throne with shaved chin.
The courtiers with heavy hearts imi-
tated the prince, and the people, with
still heavier hearts, initiated the cour-
tiSTs. The popular feeling on the sub
Jcct, however, remains recorded in the
proverb: ''Since we have lost our
boards we have lost our souls. ALL
