strongly attracted by anything which
glltters. Mr.. Trouve has taken a2yan-
tage Of this and has constructed lumi-
nous buoys containing batteries or &C
cu1nulators connecting with incauGes-
cent lamps. A dattened reflector spreads
the light over a wide extent. These
buoys arc placed with other bait in the
nets, and the fish are attracted from all
sides, like moths to q candle, and be-
come p-ey.
The next thing is to know when to
draw in the net. To employ w~atchnen
is rather primitive, and Nh. Trouye has
devised u much better systen1-at any
rate i, theory. His idea III To make q
sort Of scale, consisting CT q beam pivot
cd to a stake. This beam has at one end
a square net and at the other q tray, in
which is placed a weight slightly great
er than that of the square net. An ap-
prorriate mechanism, clCctwcrk Or 9TH
erwlse, raises Up this trag 1t regular
intervals, say every five u ten minutes,
which gives to the beam an cscillatory
movement. Every time the beam rises
beyond the horizontal position an cleo
trlcal contact is made connecting 1T 4
distance, on the bank or il tie boat,
wherever the fisherman is stationed.
Whenever there are no fish i'll this
square net it rises quickly, carried uD
By the excessive weight at the other end
OF the beam, and q short interval Of
ringing shows that the beam has gone
~ the horizontal position without stop
ping there, and consequently there are
no fish. If, on the contrary, the square
net ineloses fish, the excess of weight
wlii no longer be able to carry it up be-
yond the horizontal, and the bell will
ring continuously.

GOOD COPS AS EASY MARKS.

An old time crook stood Oh a Broad

late one night recently, Watching n

The policeman did the work with src45

"'That's . careful COPPER" the crock
volunteered, addressing a man who v-s

How a IL May &c Recalled.


The public is not as familiar with its
privileges about postal matters as mighs
be supposed, says the Boston Transcript.
Many times people would like to recall
a letter after it has been mailed. This
can be done, eve if the letter hiss raacn-
ed the p~ostoffice Of its destination. AT
every postoffice there are what are called
withdrawal blanks" On application
they will be furnished, aud when q de-
post IS made to cover the expense, the
postmaster will telegraph to the post
master at the letters destination asking
that it be promptly returned. The ap-
plicant first signs this agreement: 1T
is hereby agreed that, if the letter is re-
turned to me, I will protect you from
any and all claims made against you
for such return and will fully indemni-
fy you for any loss you may sustain by
reason Of such action. And | herewith
deposit s. TO cover all expenses incur

ope Of the letter returned" In many
cases perso4-s have made remittances %
fraudulent parties or irresponsible firms,
not learning their true character until
after the letter had gone. and have sue
ceeded in recalling them.

But he closed up early.

He had imposed upon tie confidence
of the unsoplHsticated, and the shov. 81
of eggs was their way Of expressing
their righteous indignation.
The "doctCr's'' modus operandi was
something Ike this: He had a corn
salye that vas unequaled and unap-
proachablo in its virtues. He wished to
advertise it and would for 10 cents give
a sample Of the salye and a check, on
the presentation OF which later be would
give u present.
Tie present" end Of it caught many
who were old enough to know better and
several children, but great was their
surprise when on presenting their checks
they Were handed Is cents as a present.
This was making money very fast.
Each purchaser had realized so per cent
on his investment. The doctor had Gr-
tlcle No. 2 to advertise and would also
give a present to every purchaser who
woald pay % cents for a sample.
These who had bought one package
Of No. 1 tcok two and three Of article

previous instance. Of course they
thought this man who gave them is

vested all the money they had in eggs,
and the less modern they We're the more
desirable fer their purpose.
When they returned, the voluble doc
tor was telling his audience not to feel
bad over tho matter. He had, he said,
travelled a great deal and had ''got it in

Well, just then he got it in the neck,
and in the back, and on the head, and

A HOME INDUSTRY.
Inc Immense Plant of the Portland Stove
Foundry.

a representative Of the PRESS had
VIC pleasure yesterday of being shown
osor ehe extensive plant of the Portland
oeoVe Foundry Company. It is probable
onao lew Of our citizens realize the extent
VI onls concern or the amount of business
done by them.
Ihls company was established in the
winter of 1867, and was located at the
corner of Fore and Cross streeUs. The
business steadily increased until it out
STEW It's Quarters, and was then removed
" Aennebec street, at the foot OF Chest
nut street.. The business has continued to
Grow until it now occupies two entire
squares extending from Pearl to Chestnut
seloe0s. This company employs nearly
one o. hundred men in their works regu-
AIRY and sometimes have to put on an
aooltlonal crew to fill their orders in sea-
son The high quality and unusual ex-
ceuence Of the Atlantic ranges, furnaces
ana not water heaters manufactured by
ohis company have made them famous
anu 1nelr goods are sought for every
where. The concern are now in receipt
Oh letter from British Guiana asking
about. their goods. SO that they have be-
come known even there.
IN view of wish which has been so
urgent as to be almost irresistible, the
manufacturers have decided to supply
the nome market themselves, and will
hereafter retail their product of stoves,
ranges, hot water and combination heat
ers direct to the citizens of Portland and
vicinity on the most favorable terms and
have fitted up an extensive retail depart
ment at their place for that purpose.
That there is an undoubted advantage in
buying direct from the manufacturer is
SELF evident. You receive their warrant
and the benefit of their low prices and
the great advantage of being able to buy
repairs at home without additional ex-
press charges.
The works are extensive and a view of
the various departments would prove in
teTesting and instructive. Visitors are al
ways welcome. 1t would be impossible
to describe the various departments, but
perhaps one of the most interesting to the
visitor is the nickel plating rooms. A
number of men are employed here on ac-
count of the large amount of work done
for the foundries throughout New Eng
land
The company get their water supply
from an artesian we'll 230 feet deep, which
gives an abundance of the purest water.
This water has been pronounced by Prof.
Robinson Of Bowdoin College, who an
alyzed 1t, to be quite remarkable and sew
eral of our citizens are using 1t on their
tables.
Mr.. f. NJ. Lawrence, the president,
and Mr.. Arthur P. Howard, the treas
urer of the company, are both pleasant
gentlemen to meet and converse with,
and always make visitors welcome, as
they are proud of their immense business,
and only too glad to let the people tknow
what they have right here in their midst.

Some years ago when suffering with an
uncommonly severe attack of diarrhoea,
Mr.. W. B. Guinnip, of Atco, Pa, re-
ceived through the mail a sample bottle
of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Dia-
rrhoea Remedy. He says: II found it
to be one of the most effective remedies
l ever used. 1t gave me almost immedi-
ate relief. 1t has no superior and think
no equal. No bad effects follow the use
of this remedy. 1t is pleasant to take
when reduced with water and sweetened.
Children like it. 1t never fails. 1t is the
most perfect remedy ever produced for
bowel complaints" For sale at 25 and
so cents per bottle by II. P. S. Goold's
Drug Store, SIT Congress ST., Portland,
and K. S. Raymond, Cumberland Mills.
The people have long since learned
that the most disagreeable medicines are
not necessarily the best. In fact, as rule
they are not. What is wanted is some
thing mild and sure, such as Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Dlarrhoea Rem
edy. That is really pleasant to take when
reduced with water and sweetened. Then
it is acknowledged everywhere to be the
most successful remedy in the world for
bowel complaints. Ask any number of
druggists for the best remedy they have
for diarrhoea and fully nine out of ten
will recommend Chamberlain's. In
speaking of this medicine, Mr.. B. B. Buff
fun of Friendsville. Susquehanna Co..
Pa. saws: "We have used it in our family
for pain in the stomach, collie and dia-
rrhea and found it to be most effective
