WILDCATS From TAME CATS.
The -se:-o.Tcss:en CT Twenty Years Among
tho Fciircs CT Goat Island.

The -sea-o.Tcss.en ca Twenty Years Among
tho Feiires CT Goat Island.
Tt has taken. ahout'ao years to produce
the wildcats OF Goat Aisland, the dcgener-
alto process commencing soon after the
lighthouse WAS established there in 1875.
1t seems that tEc first keepers brought
number Of cats with them, but with unre-
strained liberty the animals gradually for
soolS the comforts of.civilization. Goet is
land is the home of thousa nds of birds and
squirrels, and to this is possibly duo the
temptation of the cats to forsalIe the keep
erS' tirasidc. At first the cats would absent
ttem5elvcs for Days ut time, hut the
kittens were born at homo. In time, how
ever they got over this and lived altogeth-
er in the urdcrbrush After % few wears
the deseendar.H of the first cats were SO
wild that they were afraid of human be-
ings and made their dens in tho crevices
Of the rocks.
From that time the cats became wilder,
until now they are as ferocious as the ter
rible creatures CT tho mountains. They
have increased in size and changed alto
gether in disposition. They are always seen
in pairs and appear to mate as all species
Of the cat tribe do in the wild state The
cats live on squirrels, quail ard sparrows,
dS Neii as Sucn Otner small animals and
birds as they can catch They are supplied
with water from dozen springs in differ
ent parts of the island.
In addition TO other changes the wild
cats have become hostile to such tame cats
as are brought to tho island from time to
time. They will attack them on sight and
never stop until they have killed their vic
tins
The chief destruction wrought by the
wildcats is on the quail tlia5 inhabit the
island. The 'artful drummers'' used to
be there in abundance, but ere now pretty
well thinned out. The cats are constantly
on the alert, ard not only kill every quail
they can catch, but often destroy whole
nests full Of young. To prevent this the
light keepers are always Oh the lookout for
wildcats and shoot every one that comes
anywhere near tho house. AS conse-
quence the cats keep some distance away,
and the quail SEEM to know they ore safe
in that locality, for there are zahzc nests
there than in any other part Of the island
Many plans have been tried within the
last few years to rid the island of the hun
CRY, carnivorous pests, but the more they
are prosecuted with shotguns, trap and
poison the more rapidly they seem to null
tlply.-San Francisco Gail.

Tho Millions That Each Summer flock to
the Popular Bathing Resort.
The drama which Corey Island daily
provides for the delight of its patrons is
declared to freshen the souls of SO many
millions annually that in order to colnpre-
hend the bulk of the multitude we must
fancy gathered together all the inhabitants
OF London, ell the people of New York,
every soul in Chicago and every man, wo-
man and child in Brooklyn Ard even
then we would be assuming that the largest
boasts of tEcse cities were truths, for ono
years crowd on Coney Island was COM
posed of 100000 souls.
No painter has perpetuated it's bewilder-
ing scenes, and no poet has sought to i'm
mortalize its wonders. 1t is doubtful
whether the foreign world-the "outer
barbarians" as tho Chinese call the others
has heard Of the place. Certainly the At
1antic Garden, in the Bowery, is tenfold
farther and better known. And yet 8, 0OO,-
600 of fares were paid by travellers to it in
year-by travellers who journeyed only
the time that q cigar lasts. 1t no mora
wants or depends upon better fame than
grass needs painting or fresh air needs q
rhymcr. 1t is New York s resort almost
exclusively, our homeopathic sanitarium,
our sun bath and icebox combined, our ex-
ira lung, our private, gigantic fan.
All our cities, except Chicago, have such
places, and we are content that they should.
Boston may keep little Nantucket, Phila-
delphia may continue to reach across New
Jersey for her beaches, New Orleans is
welcome to all Of Lake Pontchartrain and
San Francisco may 1aonopolize. her opera

pleases. We do not want their resorts or
need their patronage. ulian Ralph in

Directions For Preparing Dish Which 10
Often Spoiled In the Cooking.
A fish is more often ruined in baking
than in almost any other way, yet If a
bluefish is properly baked it is a most do
licious dish.
Thoroughly clean and wash fish weigh
ing not less than 21a pounds for baking.
Make stufing by putting large spoon
full Of butter into saucepan, and when it
is melted add one cupful Of bread crumbs
which havo been soaking in a scant half
cup Of milk or water, quarter Of tea
spoonful of salt and the same quantity Of
pepper, ,ene teaspoonful each of chopped
capers and parsley, and onion juice or not
as preferred. Put the stuffing into the fish
and close the opening with small wooden
skewers. Cut three gashes in each side of
the fish about half an inch deep and two
inches long and lay strip Of larding pork
In each cut.
Now draw tho fish into the form Of O
letter S by putting q long needle, holding
q strong white thread, first through tho
head, then through the middle of the body
and the tail and fastening with knot
that can be easily taken out when the fish
is baked. Put tin sheet, on which have
been laid some slices Of fat salt pork, in
the bottom OF q baking pan and place the
fish on it back upward. Rub the fish with
salt and pepper and dredge with flour.
Pour over it half CUP of wine Put it
into q moderately hot oven and bake, al.
lowing Is minutes to each pound. Con
stant basting is necessary for the success
of the dish. When the fish is cooked, lift
the tin sheet from the pan and slide the
fish carefully into the center of q heated
platter, remove the thread and garnish the
fish with sliced lemon and parsley. Serve
with either of the following sauces:
Put one tablespoonful of butter and one
of flour in a saucepan over the fire, stir
together and add cupful Of stock, two
tablespoonfuls of stewed tomatoes, a bay
leaf, half dozen peppercorns and tea
spoonful of sugar. Bring to the boiling
point add little sherry and more season
ing if necessary and strain.
For sauce hollandaise, rub half a cup of
butter to q cream. Add tho yolks of three
eggs, stirring in one at time. Add the
juice from half lemon, one-fourth of a
teaspoonful Of salt and dash Of cayenne
pepper. Place the bowl containing the
mixture in q pan of boiling water. Add
one cup of hot water to tho sauce, beating
all the time, and stir constantly until tho
mixture becomes like soft custard. DO
not let it boil, but remove from the fire
and continue to stir few moments before
pouring it around the fish.-New York

that he would do the shooting, but he de-

Naturally the iuggler objected, but kis
protest was ovcrruled. 1t was decided that
the rival magician might uso his own

the performer. Yet he did not blench. To
refuse tho test would have been permanent

that tho n.arksman might miss. He de-

Tho Bullet Trick.

The probability was 90 to I that he
would be shot, yet an Indian juggler took
that one chance rather than acknowledge
his inability to catch the bullet DR..
Hoffman, the government ethnologist at
Washington, tells the story:
The bravest act have ever known was
performed by an Indian juggler. A favor
ite trick of his was one that has often been
performed by white magicians.
1t consisted in permitting himself to be
shot at, the hocus pocus being an arrange
ment by which the bullet fell out of the
barrel into cavity in the stock before tho
weapon was discharged. Meanwhile the
man had another bullet concealed in his
mouth, which at the instant of firing he
pushed outward with his tongue, SO as to
make it appear that he caught the projcc-
tile between his teeth.
Now, it happened that this man had a
rival, who was engaged in the conjuring
business In a ncighboring village. On an
occasion when tho trick was to be perform
ed, the juggler having announced as usual

veloping percolating waters in their own

tinued to enter said stream at points below
