The Loeb Salmon,

Cruising along the sandy shore
and trailing the flies just where the
water suddenly becomes profound
there came to pass mighty COM
motion. A great form doomed out of
the side of wave, broad tail swept
around in the brown water, the
line frightened bravely, the good
greenheart bent in sympathy, and
away went the salmon, buzzing off
thirty yards of line at a stretch.
The charm of these loch fish lies in
the splendid fight they show for lib
erty. Many river fish can be play
ed under the point of the rod and
landed without running out more
than half dozen yards of line. But
it is far different when there is plen-
ty of sea room, with no banks or
shoals to COW the fish and nothing
to bar his powerful rush toward the
deep water.
1t is this and the splendid display
a loch fish generally makes on the
rise that compensate the fisherman
for much weary, monotonous fogg
ing OF the surface. The rise is very
characteristic of loch salmon. In
streams where it is expedient to fish
the fly deep, fish in Selling it most
often never breaks the surface, but
in q loch the flies cannot easily be
kept in motion if sunk. They must
be drawn along near the top, and
the salmon must dash to the surface
to catch them, thereby imparting a
peculiar charm to this kind of sport.
Well, our fish made grand run,
the gillie bent stoutly to his oars
and followed it, the anchor was
dropped in a few minutes, and the
dispute soon ended in favor Of the
angler, who, peering at the index of
the steelyard, complaoently pro-
nounced the verdict, Eighteen
pounds, neat. ''-Blackwood's Maya

Dog and telegram.

The most intelligent dog I know
resides" at Haxey, in the isle of
Axholme, and is named Staffa. Some
years since, when his owner was an.
pointed subpostmaster of the vii
lage, Staffa learned to distinguish
the telegraph call signal of the office
in less than three weeks. was pres.
emit in the Office one day and was
asking the telegraph clerk how she
got on with her work, when tho
needle began to sound. Almost im-
mediately Staffa came trotting in
with the messengers hat in his
mouth. Why" said the girl, THAT
must be our CALL" and so it was.
The dog had known it before the
clerk. To appreciate this fact it
should be known that the call sig
nails of two or three of the offices on
the circuit are so much alike in
sound that even practiced ear may
be in doubt as to which is which.
6taffa, however, I was assured, nev-
er made mistake. Notes and Que

A Proper London Restriction.

A proper restriction is that the
street preacher shall not carry the
war into his enemy's camp. The
passerby in the parks is fair game
If he does not like the exhortations
addressed to him, he can move
away. Probably indeed he would
not be in that part of the park at
all if he did not wish to hear them.
But there are certain quarters of any
great towns which are virtually ap-
propriated to special sections of the
community. There is jewish quar-
ter or an Irish quarter; there may
be even Mohammedan quarter. 1t
is a matter of police regulation that
the inhabitants of these several
quarters should be protected against
the incursions of their natural enc
my, the missionary.
1t is only an extension of the prin-
ciple that an Englishman' house is
his castle to make rule that a Prot
estant preacher shall not unbosom
himself on the subject of the pope
in an Irish court or that a jealous
Christian shall not preach an Eng
lish variant of anti Semitism in the
local ghetto. If the inhabitants of
the district wish to know what can
be said against their religion, they
have abundant opportunities all
around them. They can find church
es and chapels in every direction,
and it will be strange if on the no.
tiGe boards of some of them they do
not find a course of sermons an
nounced which will exactly meet
their case. But they have right to
be protected on their own doorsteps
and to be able to open their windows
without annoyance to their convic-
tions.-London Spectator.

First Glass Notices.

One of the strangest freaks in
newspaper editing was INDUCED in
a few years ago in a midland town.
The editor of a new evening paper
wrote leading article two columns
in length and placed footnote at
the end of the effusion stating that
it was not his intention to inflict
such long leading article on his
readers again. He faithfully kept
his promise. The paper has not ap.
peared since. Sometimes the editor
introduces a delicious bull into his
leading article. On a northern daily
not long ago he wrote a short lead
er on Thomas Monck Mason and
sagely remarked, Though the name
of Thomas Monck Mason was once
familiar enough to the English pub
lie, the announcement of his death
will be the first intimation of his
birth to thousands of readers. -

Kipling's View of 1t.

'The Englishman, said Mr.. Kip
ling, will die for liberty, but he
doesn't care straw for equality.
The Frenchman, On the other hand,
doesn't really know what liberty
means, but he must have equality.
AS for the American, he is indiffer-
emit to both liberty and equality and
goes in heart and soul for fraterni-
ty. This is really the bane of the
American nation. So long as man
is o good fellow he can do anything
and people will approve, or, at least,
will tolerate it. >"

TIE OLD FASHIONED LAUNDREss

Flow Gear to my sight are the shirts of my
past days
When mem ry recalls them so nerfeot o,a
fair,
That never went through any steam laundry
fast ways,
But hung bleaching and drying in purely
fresh air
The edges unfrayed, as they danced in tho
daylight,
The buttonholes fractureless free from oil
The tubs with the bubbles presenting a CAV
sight,
And cen the stout laundress that over them
bent
The old fashioned laundress, the homekeenina
laundress.
The singing old 'aundress that over them
That old fashioned laundress was surely a
John Chinaman then was in distant Cathay,
ana dragging machines used no shirts at their
pleasure,
And chemicals then ate no linen away.
How deftly she turned them and rubbed them
and scrubbed them
AND put them in boilers with honest intent
And when, with her strong arm, she gently
had wrung them,
We knew that the shirts needed no foreign
scent
The old fashioned laundress, the bomekeenin,
laundress,
The singing old laundrsss that over them
bent.
Then our shirts took a year and day in their
wearing,
The bosoms neer cracked like stiff, brittle
board,
And we put them on safe without fear of a
tearing
And sung forth her praises in lofty accord.
She ne'er disappointed i'll whiteness or luster
Nor caused US in "cuss' words our feelings
to vent,
And we gave her the best words our brain pan
could muster
And said that from paradise sure she was
The old fashioned laundress, the housekeeping
laundress,
The singing old laundress that over them
bent.

LONDON "TOSHERS.n
They Go Through the Sewers to Search
For Articles of Value

AHsy 20 1EfCaSE the sewers to Search
For Articles of Value.
ShQremen or shoreworkers they
sometimes call themselves, but their
most familiar appellation is 'stosh-
ers, and the articles they pick up
"tosh. "
They really belong to another well
known class, the mudlarks, but con-
slider themselves grade or two
above these latter, for the genuine
tesher does not confne himself, as
they do, travelling through the
Thames mud and picking up odd
pieces Of coal or wood, copper, nails,
bolts, iron and old rope. The tosher,
when the coast is clear of the police,
makes his way into the sewers and
will venture sometimes for miles in
quest of valuables that occasionally
find their way into them by the
kitchen sink or the street grating.
When about to enter the sewers,
these men provide themselves with
a pole seven Or eight feet long. on
one end Of which there is large
iron hoe, bag carried on the back,
a canvas apron tied around them,
and a dark lantern similar to po-
hceman's. This they strap on their
right breast, so that while walking
upright through the large sewers
the light is thrown straight in front.
When they come to the branch sew
ers and have to stoop, the light is
thrown directly at their feet. AS
they make their way they use their
hoe in the mud at their feet and in
the crevices of the brickwork, and
occasional shillings and silver spoons
find temporary resting place in the
bag at their back Or in their capa-
cious coat pockets.
The toshers generally go in gangs
of three Or four, both for the sake
of company and to be able to defend
themselves from the rats with
which the sewers swarm. When
they come near a street grating, they
close their lanterns and watch an
opportunity to slip past unnoticed,
for otherwise a crowd of people
might soon collect at the grating,
whose presence would put the police
on the alert. They find great guam
titles of money, copper money espe-
cially, in the crevices of the brick
work a little below the grating, and
not infrequently shillings, half
crowns and sixpences, with an occa-
sional sovereign or half sovereign.
When in luck, :" they find many
articles of plate, spoons, ladies', sill
yer handled knives and forks, mugs
and drinking cups, and now and then
articles of jewelry. They generally
also manage to fill their bags with
the more bulky articles found in
their search, such as old metal,
bones and ropes. These they dispose
of to marine store dealers and rag
and bone men and divide the pro-
ceeds, along with the coins found,
among the different members of the
gang. AT one time the regular tosh-
ers used each to earn from 80 shil-
lings to f2 week, but with the con-
struction of new sewers, grated at
the mouth, their industry is not so
easily exercised and is consequently
much less Observation-Disclosures Mail.

inst What She Said.

1t is not always wise to dispute
people, even when their assertions
seem absolutely mistaken. The Pitts
burg Christian Advocate gives this
story of census taker' error:
Mrs. Pilgrim-Now, these boys
are sisters.
The Census Taker-No, you mean
brothers.
Mrs. Pilgrim-No, sir. I mean
just what say. They are my sisters.
