As Brave as OId-Time Heroines.

All the brave women did not die with
joan of Arc: and the English people are
grumbling because the Home Secretary
did not mention to the Queen the name
of Miss Alfard for the Albert medal,
given for heroic conduct. 1t is the uni
versal opinion she deserved it. Miss
Alfard is a nurse in Kimberly, South
Africa, and was sent to attend case
of pneumonia in Bechuanaland. When
she arrived there she found herself in
the midst of a smallpox epidemic. She
had no one to help her, but was not
dismayed. She Immediately started a
hospital on a rude plan, and nursed,
unaided, POO natives and twenty white
patients, losing only one woman and
two children-a record of which many
physicians, with all modern convent
ences and a corps of trained assistants,
would be proud.-The American.

UP OR DOWN STREAM?


A few weeks ago a Record Union
correspondent at Klamath Hot Springs
asked whether the trout angler should
fish up or down stream. The question
is one in which few expert anglers
agree. Charles Hallock, in the Sports
mans Gazette" gives the following
reasons for preferring to fish down
stream:
Streams may be fished I'D or down
stream at option, though down stream
is the best The chief advantage of fish
ing UP stream is that while you are
playing your fish you do not alarm
others above you, as you are supposed
always to lead your captive down
stream.
LET us observe that fish always lie
with their heads up stream. Even when
they dart down stream affrighted, as
they sometimes do, they invariably stop
very soon and round to. as a yacht does
when she tufts up into the wind. Salmon
and shad when descending to the sea
do not make a bee line for it, but drop
down stream gradually, keeping their
heads up. Moreover as for trout, the
biggest always lie in the wider and
deeper stream, so that in fishing up, the
angler is constantly fishing away from
the big fellows and up toward the
smaller ones. In casting, too, it is inn
portant to have your line kept straight;
and in fishing down stream the current
Goes this for you, while in most Of the
casts made in fishing up stream the line
runs back on itself and is constantly
getting into slack turns and bights.
Again, it is less tiresome to fish down
stream when wading than against the
current, which is sometimes SO strong
as to make progress very difficult.
"More than ALL the angler can see his
fish before him when he is moving
down, but never when he is moving up.

GAME OUT OF SEASON.

The vandals who last year made such
a howl about the game laws oppress-
ing the poor market hunters and favor
ing the sportsmen are already at their
unlawful, despicable work.
The other day Game Warden Morgan
Of San Francisco procured a warrant
for the arrest of A. Fedora of the San
Francisco Market for selling quail and
doves out of season. The birds were
packed in an egg case. There was a
layer Of six dozen eggs on top of the
case and the bottom was filled with
quail, doves, rabbits and squirrels. The
case was shipped by Kalisky & Co. of
Concord.
Now it will be in order for jury of
Fedora's peers to declare him innocent,
even though he pleads guilty on the
ground that men have IAN inherent
right" to kill and sell game at all sea-
sons. rs

EFFECTS OF DEER-HUNTING.
Deer hunters are not meeting with as
much success in the mountains this
year as for many years past, accord
ing to reports received from expert
enced hunters. At Alder Springs and
Alder Flat the kill is hardly above an
average of one a week. AT the latter
place is camped John McMartin of Will
lows, Tom O'Brien and wife of Fruto,
Bob Rowcroft and party, who live at
the foot of the long grade, and Mr.. and
Mr.. and Mrs. Princeton. This makes
quite pleasant little camp village,
and all are installed in cozy little tents
and brush dwellings,. Trout are plenti-
at this place not over seven or eight
inches in length.
All complain of the scarcity of deer,
however. There are abundant signs of
deer everywhere, with plenty of good
sized bear tracks, but where to find
them is the joker. Bob Chamberlain of
Alder Springs, a well-known young cat
tie man of that section, and who is IA
miliar with the mountains, says that
even on Hardin Ridge one must carry
his rife week in order to get a deer.
Hardin Ridge is a famous hunting
ground, and the fact of their scarcity
there is what is puzzling mountaineers.
One thing-hounds are driving them
cut very fast, and unless the practice of
using dogs is not discontinued in a few
years a deer will be as rare a thing as
teeth in an old hens bill.

A good rule is to fish down stream if
the current is swift or up stream if it is
sluggish.
1T is useless to waste time in whip
ping every foot of stream. Trout lie
where cool bottom streams bubble, or
lateral brooks come in, or food gathers,
the depth of water favors or shade and
protection serve. The strongest and
biggest fish pre-empt the choicest and
| deepest pools, but good fish are often
taken on the rifles where swift water is
flowing about six inches deep over peb-
bly, bottoms, where the conferva at
taches itself to stones and sways in the
| current, affording both food and lurk-
ing places.
I'm large rivers it is useless to fish
except at rapids, or where a lateral
stream flows in. Where the river
makes short turns there is 81 deep hole
on one side and a corresponding sand
bar or fiat on the other Trout are like
ly to be found in all these deep holes be-
cause the current carries their food
there, and for the same reason they can
| be found under the bank opposite the
wind. Where the river is divided by an
| island or patch of weeds a cast will be
rewarded at the foot of the island at
the edge of the ripples. Trout feed
chiefly at night, and hence can be taken
on dark or cloudy days and between
sunset and dark"

GOOD ROADS IN INDIA.

India is a land of good roads. Between
oil the larger towns well shaded macad-
amized roads are to be found The av-
erage city pavements of Chicago, St
Paul or New York are not as good as
these long stretches of well built roads,
with their culverts of solid stone mason
ry, and their whitewashed milestones
shining like solitary monuments in the
hot sun. There is an enormous outlay
of money and labor in blasting and
buttressing, macadamizing these roads,
but in developing the agricultural and
commercial interests of the mountain
regions they are worth all and more
than they cost. The inner ranges of the
Iiinalayas furnish perfect climate and
soil for the production of tea and all
the fruits of the temperate zone. Hun
dreds of thousands of acres of tea plants
have been put out since these cart roads
as they are commonly called, were built.
Thousands of Englishmen are employed
in managing these estates, and all their
supplies of food, building material and
machinery are brought to them and all
the products of the estates are carted

REVERE THEIR RULERS.
Object to Having Stamps Bearing Like
nesses of Departed Ones Cancelled.

Private letters from Kioto bear proof
that the Japanese have their own way
of doing things. They recently had a new
issue of postage stamps which bore por-
traits Of two of the princes who died
sen were to be issued. In the United
States one portrait would have been on
the 2-sen stamp and one on the 6-sen
stamp, but in Japan it was thought that
this would be discriminating against
the memory of the one pictured on the
lower denomination.
This is why philatelists find that. there
are two new 2-sen and two new 5-sen
stamps-each denomination having one
kind in memory of each prince. But
even this careful arrangement did not
prevent new trouble. Some conserva-
tive Japanese are contending that It
borders on disrespect to the imperial
family to pollute their pictures with
saliva and then to blotch them with
ink in the process of cancellation.
One man has declared in the papers
that he shall decline to receive any mail
matter bearing these stamps. Some
postmasters have requested that they
be allowed to put the cancelling mark
only on the edge of the stamp, so as to
avoid defiling the princely faces. To
old-fashioned Japanese it is especially
displeasing to see foreigners putting
portraits representing men of divine de :
scent into their mouths and putting
them on the envelopes with as much
Indifference as we employ with the faces
of Washington, Franklin, and Grant,
on our stamps. Some Japanese, if they
use the stamps at all, must reverently
lift them to their head, carefully wet
the glue with pure water and then ut
ter prayer as they attach them to the
envelope.
Did it ever occur to an American that
it was discrimination to place a portrait
on a lower denomination stamp? If
this matter ever was discussed it was
probably agreed that the greater honor
went with the cheaper stamps, which
are in wider and more general use. AS
for attaching any respect to them-do
you know, without looking, whose pic
lures are on our various stamps ?-Bos-
ton Journal.
