The train backed up and brought her lifeless body to this station where she was left till Dr. Small, coro- ner of Ct. Burlington, came and held inquest, after which it was removed to her home Mrs. Ruppf was rather ec. centric and mingled very little with her neighbors, her reserve being in conse- qnence of her deafness perhaps.

The Earl of Dunraven, finding that there were too many pike in his waters at Adare Manor, County Limerick, Ire. land, for successful trout fishing, recent. ly ordered his professional fisherman tc capture what he could of them. Thirty four have been taken so far of an aver age weight of g pounds each, the largest weighing 23 pounds and the mallest pounds. Why three-fourths of them were females is not understood at all. That there was need of taking out the pike is shown by the fact that several of the fish contained trout, and nearly all the females were heavy with spawn. The pickerel fry feed on the trout and salmon fry, being far better fighters than equal sized trout
 The greatest of care is necessary al fish hatcheries to prevent the pickerel fry from getting among the fry of other varieties. A dozen small pickerel in a year will destroy thousands of other small fish, and the loss is considerable
