Dunraven's kapacious Fish.

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
" ordered his professional fisherman to
capture what he could of them. Thirty
four have been taken SO far Of AL aver
age weight Of 0 pounds each, the
largest weighing % pounds and the
smallest pounds. Why thrce-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 at
fish hatcheries to prevent the plckerel
fry from getting among the fry of other
varieties. A dozen small pickerel III 4
year will destroy thousands Of other
small fish, and the loss is considerable.

A Life Saved.

Jamestown, Tenn, October Is, 1891:
My daughter tried physicians and
nearly all remedies for Female irreg-
ularities, but received no relief or
benefit whatever. We had nearly
despaired of her recovery when we
were induced by our postmaster,
Mr.. A. A. Gooding, to try Gerstles
Female Panacea, and after using four
bottles she was entirely cured, for
which I feel it my duty to let it be
known to the world and suffer- 'g
humanity, for I believe she owes her
life to the Panacea. A. j. MACE,
Sheriff of Fentress County, Tenn.

SUPERSTITION IN HOUSE RENTING.

Janitors and Slow Payments Arc Not tho
Only Woes Of Agents.
Real estate agents tell strange stories
about the houses which are placed il
their charge by the owners, who shift
on them all care and responsibility, and,
for certain percentage Of the receipts,
expect the houses to yield the regulation
revenue. But sometimes houses will
yield nothing but worry and expense.
With everything in the way Of loca-
tion and architecture in their favor,
houses sometimes remain vacant for long
periods, and in many instances the own
ers blame the agents, but find later that
superstition and not laxity on the part
of tho agent bars the way to rents and
revenue.
Houses in which several people have
died within short period are less val
liable for a time on that account. "Of
course, all agent said, when deaths
have occurred because of bad sewerage.
and where the sanita-y conditions are
otherwise bad, no one would blame peo-
pie for remaining away. But houses
where couple Of people had died Of old
age would be looked upon by certain
class as 'unlucky.' and there are thou
sands who could not ba bought to 90 in-
to sIcn house.
"The worst people in that respect, )"
he continued. "are the young mothers
We have had contracts broken because
somebody said that babies never thrive
on that block and because the last
family that occupied the fat had twins ,
But the greatest trouble in that line
comes because of Friday and the number
13. When you find man who will sign
lease on Friday, you may make up
your mind that he will be good tenant,
and that lie does not possess any Of the
qualities Of the dreaded kicking tenant.
As to the number 13. why. it is as hard
to rent house with that number as one
in which there is cross eyed hallboy or
from which contagious disease flag is
flying"
To prove this, the agent told Of
beautiful apartment house near Central
park, which had been completed recent
ly and for which, despite its advantages
as to location and superiority Of con-
strrction, no tenants could be found, al
though its less attractive neighbors were
occupied. It took the landlord only
short time to learn the cause, and when
tho number was changed from No. 13 to
111s he found that the home seeking
public appreciated his building.
"There are hundreds Of cases like
this in this city," the real estate man
said. "The strongest 13 story I know OF
is the one which I have heard told about
Arthur McQuade, who was in the Doodle
board of aldermen. 1t was said that
when misfortune overlook him his
friends-some Of tbem-attributed it to
the fact that he had purchased house
for $4,000 at 3l3 East Thirteenth
street. There are people today, he add
cd, "who will tell you that that was the
cause Of his trouble New York Trib-

GERENro, Miss, May 9Th, 1892.
Although I never used any secret
remedies before, I prescribe St.
Joseph's Sarsaparilla in my practice
as would any prescription OF my

PARIS, Feb. lS.-The political crisis
which has arisen out Of the demand Of
the senate for a vigorous and thorough
inquiry into the Southern railway
scandals that body having emphasized
its attitue in the matter by twice re-
fusing a vote of confidence in the
Bourgeois ministry is now practically a
struggle between the chamber Of dep

bent upon overthrowing it, even at the
cost of most serious disturbances. How
ever, in spite of the acute crisis and the
possibility of the downfall of the Bour-
geois ministry or even a dissolution
of the parliament, there is
little or no excitement here
outside of the newspaper offices. But
it is claimed that the resignation Of the
ministry would not alter matters to any
great degree, as it appears to be no
longer a question Of confidence or of
non-confidence in the cabinet. The
chamber of deputies, it is asserted, has

troublesome times of 1901.
The newspapers are filed with excit-

interviews with political leaders, and
many of them have expressed the opin.
ion that a constitutional solution Of the
problem is impossible.
The Conservatives and Socialists de-
