cosTLIEST OF FISH HOOKS.

crate Attachments That Go with 1t.
The most costly of fish hooks are
those for tarpon. They are sold at re.
dollar q dozen for bare hooks ur
to seven dollars a dozen for hooks
fitted up. The standard tarpon
hook is four inches in length
Some tarpon fishermen prefer to mount
their own hooks. They have ideas of
their own as to the best way and the
best materials, says the New York Sun.
a swivel is always used. Some of the
hooks that are sold fitted up have smells
of German silver chain. Sometimes
llces of rawhide or porpoise skin are
used for smells. Some hooks are fitted
with smells of piano wire two feet long,
made in three lengths of eight inches
each, linked, to prevent kinlling. Fit
ted up tarpon hooks that are sold at
seven dollars dozen are provided with
36-inch braided or plated linen smells,
wound for two-thirds of their length,
from the upper end downward, with
copper wire. The tarpon swallows the
hook and its teeth are brought up on
the smell where it is protected by the
copper wire. Sometimes a shark takes
the bait. II is desired to lose the shark
without the trouble of hauling it in and
casting it off, and the shark is likely 10
free itself by biting through the un-
protected lower third of the smell.
While the tarpon hook is the costliest
of the hooks there are fiys that sell for
more; there are some salmon flys that
retail as high as nine dollars a dozen.

DECREASE IN FECUNDITY.
The Colored Race Thins Out as II
Comes North.


Frederick j. Brown, of Baltimore,
supports with statistics the claim that,
contrary to the views held by census
Officials, the trend of colored migration
is from the southern to the northern
states, says an exchange. This
migration, he thinks, is on the in.
crease. He finds from a study of the
natural increase OF the colored popula
ton that the rate decreases as one goes
from the south to the north. Thus,
while it is 25 per cent. in ten years in
Florida, in South Carolina and Georgia
it is 1914, in North Carolina 13.1,
in the border states GA, and in
the northern states 81 or pos
sibly less. But the actual rate
of the increase of the colored popula.
ton of the north in ten years was nearly
21 per cent, and the difference between
this and the rate Of natural increase is
Inscribed by Mr.. Brown TO migration
from the south. Mr.. Brown also shows
that there are great inequalities in the
distribution of the cOlored people in
the south. In some sections the negroes
enormously outnumber the whites, as
in South Carolina and along the Nlssis'
sippi from Memphis nearlyto New Or,
leans, and in these sections the dispar
ity is increasing. In other sections the
negro is almost non-eXistcnt, averaging
only one per cent. of the total popula
jtion. This is notably true of nearl!
one-half of the state of Texas. 1t il
further pointed out that in these sec
tions the white population is increas
ing faster than the average.

Berger
Discussing the poor credit and bank
ing facilities of the west and south be
fore the last meeting of the American
Economic association, Mr.. Thomas G..
Shearman said:
In the IL southern states it is i1npos-
sible that one-tenth of the farmers
could have any bank accounts or could
ever draw checks in payment for their
retail transactions. In the recent cam
paign the successful candidate received
the votes of 20 states, the defeated can.
didate the votes of 20. The23 states hold
90 per cent. of all bank deposits and de-
positors. Deducting from the other ~
states the silver states and few large
cities, the remaining vast agricultural
section of the country, having 40 per
cent. of the population and rs per cent,
of the area, has less than A per cent. OF
the bank deposits and depositors. This
suggests what was the real grievance OF
this mass of voters, although they did
not themselves understand it. Their
banking facilities are proportionately
only one-sixteenth Of the rest OF the
country.

SCENES OF EXCITEMENT.
Feelings of Members During Divi-

sion of the House of Commons.
do not know how there can be in
ordinary civil affairs sense of keener
excitement than is brought up by one
of those thrilling divisions in the house
CT commons, writes Justin Mccarthy,
NJ. P, in the New York Independent.
AL personal feeling is lostand drowned
in it. Ones only thought, ones only
feeling, is for even the momentary sue
cess of the cause he has at heart. Life
seems to have been worth living if only
to be part of that great scene of strug-
gle and of passion. Such a moment
seems really, in the words of Othelio,
TO make ambition virtue" For the
ambition of the vast majority of the
members has nothing personal in it.
Most of us have not the slightest eXpec
tation of being invited 10 become mem
bers of new government, and never
had any possibility of place in the old
government. Therefore, the ambition
is, for the moment, entirely pure and
manly and wholesome. 1t is an ambi-
ton for the success of the party. the
measure, the policy, the cause to which
me is attached. The excitement
caused by a great division never wears
out. The emotion caused by a great
division in March does not in the least
degree discount the excitement of q
critical division III June. 1t is one of
the few experiences in life which can
be renewed time after time without
polling on those who are privileged to
take part in il.
