Why Some Animals Ian.

The reason that certain animals lap
instead Of drink seems to be an ar
rangenent of nature to prevent car
nivorous animals, whose stomachS are
comparatively small, from over-dis-
tending themselves with water Most
of the animals that suck when drink
ing are herbivorous and have large
stomachs, or more than one, with a
paunch or receptacle for unchewed
food, and with them digestion Is slow

danger of over-distension, although such
a thing is not unknown with some do
nestle herbivorous animals Digestion
is much more rapid process with the
carnivora, and 1t is important that it
should not be delayed by the ingestion
Of large quantities of cold water. By
tapping the mouth and throat are thor
oughly moistened, While the water is
supplied to the stomach in small guam
titles, properly warmed and mixed with
saliva. 1T may be fairly assumed that
the carnivora are of more recent crea-
ton. for the herbivorous animals are
their food, and that therefore tapping
may be considered a more highly de-
veloped way of drinking than sucking

yer-colored fish, and esteemed as a ia
BILE delicacy The silver catfish is a like
prize found in Eastern Michigan
streams. Farther west, the Mississippi
River, from La Crosse to Lake Pepin,
is one of the best fishing spots In the
country. Here thrive the black bass,
pike and pickerel. 1t is generally as
sumed that the only fish i'll the Missis-
sippi of any consequence is the catfish,
but this is not true Of the upper Missis-
sippi. The water is as clear as crystal,
and numerous brooks teeming with
trout empty from the Wisconsin and
Minnesota sides. Black bass and pike
fishing in the Mississippi is especially
good in the vicinity of Beef Slough and
the mouth of the Chippewa River. The
banks of Lake Pepin are lined with
the huts of professional fishermen, who
seine the lake for bass and other game
fish. The bass are of the small mouth
variety and are noted for their gamey
fighting qualities.

REV. E. S. NICHOLSON.

Father of the Indiana Liquor Law
Which Is Sustained by the Court.
Rev. e. S. Nicholson, the father of the
Indiana liquor law, which has been pro-
nounced constitutional by the Supreme
Court of the State, has an interesting
personality apart from being the orig
inator of the law. Mr. Nicholson first
came into prominence in 1894. when he
was made President of the Good Citi-
zens' League, which has it's headquar-
ters at Kokomo. At that time he was
the editor and proprietor of the Koko-

him about three years ago. He had re-

Is the dogfish. The dogfish is not count

Unlike the trout or bass he never breaks

tackle and no mercy is shown him by
the various fishing clubs, many of
whom pay a small bounty for the heads
of these fresh water sharks.

A Curious Camp Stove.

An Aroostook, Maine, woodsman, e.
B. White, has curious and unique ar
rangement for cooking food over an
open fire, which he calls camp range,
1t consists OF three-fourths-inch iron
gas pipe, eighteen inches long, hammer
ed to Il point at one end and plugged
with metal, through which there are
three small holes, each Of a size fit to
hold the end of a wire, say, three-six-
teenths of an inch in diameter. Loops
are made of wire, into which skillets,
pals, pans or other tapering cooking
utensils are fitted snngly. A washer of
sheet iron fits over the end Of the gas
pipe and is prevented from slipping
clear down by snug metal wristband.
The washer serves to brace the wires.
The gas pipe is driven into the ground
and red embers and Goals placed about
1t. The food Is cooked easily and
quickly A coffee pot hanger is also
used, it being bent UP so that the long
coffee pot will swing clear Of the fire.

have made snug sum of money by

A FISHING PARTY.

an hour or SO they had taken forty good
ones. Everybody took to fire fishing
at night, and with unfailing success.
In fact, without the fire at all, on a
clear night, one can land some slapping
big bass if he will row along the shore,
keeping well within the shadow line
and casting out into the light space.
The color of flies OR bait seems to make
no difference with the biting. In old
times it was believed the light flies
were alone effective, but big catches
with dark flies have long ago exploded
that notion. 1t is the commotion, the
stir upon the calm surface, which at
tracts the bass. An unmoving bait be
it ever so light, would prove vain one.

THE fishing season, which has Just
legally commenced, promises, ac-
~ cording to old experts, to be one
where general observance Of the game
laws has led TO a marked Improvement
In the quality of the sport. There is to-
day more and better fishing in Michi-
gan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota and
other Western States than there was
twenty years ago. and piscatorial en-
thusiasts about this time form many
plans for a jaunt in pursuit of the
gamy bass, the elusive pickerel and the
ferocious muskellunge. Those who are
simply home anglers, cannot complain,
either, for 1896 is turning out "a great
year for tish'-perch, trout, suckers,
redhorse, and even the dogfish being in
large evidence in lake, brook and coun-
try stream.
The black bass. however, are the lure
that sportsmen have to follow, and the
black bass are biting now. In thou
sand lakes reached by railroads diverg-
ing from Chicago, Indianapolis, st.
Louis and Minneapolis, the whirr of
the reel is heard, while along streams
like the Fox River, which flows on it's
way in straight north and south line
to the Illinois and the Mississippi, there
is fishing that would delight the heart
of an Izaak Walton. Loosely drawn
fish laws almost ruined these streams.
Fifteen years ago many Of them were
completely fished out. In the early
spring thousands of fishermen would
invade the spawning beds, and the
seine drew tons of fish from the clear
waters. Then the government took a
