TROUT AND PlCKEREL.

Something About Their Methods of Feed
ing, AS Observed at the Aquarium.
1t is easy to observe at the aquarium
the habits Of fish in feeding. Some are
sluggish, some are fierce and some are
sly. The trout are fed on live killies.
The killies when thrown into the tank
scatter III all directions, with the trout
after them like chain lightning, twist
ing and turning with marvellous celeri-
ty. The killies double, the trout dart
after them. Rising to bunch of Kill
lies at the top, the trout fairly make
the water fly. They jump almost, If not
quite, clear out of it, as if they were
turning somersaults, and down they &C
in again and on after the killies. 1t is
d dashing, slashing, crashing pursuit,
and in about half minute the killies
are all gone.
The pickerel-how different How
silent, and yet how sudden The killie
dropped in above darts downward
through the water Not pursued, it
slow down and hats in the middle Of
the tank to rest and to recover its equa-
nimity after its recent disturbing expe-
rience of being removed from its home
In the live food tank carried about in
d galvanized iron tray, and finally
dropped into another tank as food fol-
other fishes.
At u little distance is observed the
pickerel. 1t has come up silently, like q
long, slender, little steamer moving
dead slow. 1t comes to a halt so smooth
ly and quietly that the instant of its
halt is not noticed. 1t is simply seen tc
be lying there, motionless, about si1
inches from tho killie.
All is peace and quiet i'll the tank,
and the killie still balances itself in the
water and rests. Suddenly, with no ap.
parent exertion Of power, the pickerel
darts forward. The movement is so sud.
den that it is not realized that the pick
erel has moved until it is seen i'll its
new position. The killie is gone. 1t il
now in the piokerel's interior, and prob
ably with only very hazy notion, il
any at all, of how it got there.
The methods of the trout and picker
ell are very different; their results, how
ever, are much the same. New York

A UNIQUE Kentucky Busle.

1t is bugle made of two slabs of &C.

which ordered the famous charge of
Colonel Johnson. Captain Collins was a

Literary Notes.

The Living Age, for all its fifty-tnree
years of life, was never fresher, more val
liable than now. Timely and able
articles on the leading questions OF
the day, papers of interest and value,
biographical histor Cal and scientific, are
always to be found within its pages. The
following partial contents of recent issue
will give slight idea of its world wide
scope and variety Some Changes in
Social Life During tbs Queens Reign,
by Sir Algernon West; 1.-The Apotheosis
of the new novel under Queen Victoria. y
by Herbert Paul "The Integrity of the
Ottoman Empires as a diplomatic For
mula," by Wemyss Reid and J. Guinness
Rogers; The Statesmen of SPAIN by
Emilia Pardo Bazin translated for The
Living Age from the Deutsche Revue)
etc. Some good short tories and equal
ly good poetry, with the monthly Supple
ment devoted to American magazines,
extracts from New Books of the Month,
vindicate the claim of its publishers that
The Living Age is a reflection of the best
literature.
One finds the expected variety in the
contents of the American Monthly Review
of Reviews for June. The subjt ct of the
sugar tariff, sixty years retrospect of the
British Empire, the recent visit to the
United States of NJ Brunetiere, the
French critic; the defective eyesght late
ly developed among American children,
and the movement Tor the pensoning oil
school teachers, are treated in special ar
ticles. The editorial department entitled
1.-The Progress of the world" covers such
topics as American interve ntion in Cuba
the relation of Hawaii to the sugar ques.
ton, the use of money in politics by cor.
porations the enlarged metropolis of New
York, the fate of the arbitration treaty
European alliances and the Greco Turkish
war; the future of Greece, etc.

Fresh figs are not known or appreci-
ated in northern markets, and conse-
quently the demand is too limited to
encourage shipments. 1t seems doubt
full if the distant shipment Of fresh figs
will ever become profitable business
The fruit is more perishable than any
other that is generally marketed. 1t can
be handled only by the most careful
and experienced persons, and even then
it is not III condition to show its best
quality. Ripening i'll midsummer, when
the northern markets are crowded with
many we'll known fruits and not being
especially attractive to the eye, fresh
figs would at best gain favor slowly.
The fact that many people do not care
for them at the first would be another
obstacle in the way of their popularity.
Moreover, the fig Is tedious crop to
handle when in proper condition for the
market. 1t is necessary to pick the trees
over carefully every day during the sea-
son or much fruit will be overripe.
With large trees this involves much la
Dor. The aorid juice of the immature
fig eats into the fingers of the pickers
and packers, while rainy weather oc-
casions heavy loss by the cracking Of
the fruit, which renders it unfit for
market. Southern States.

There are home duties as well as
pleasures for the children. Boys are re-
quired to look after the ponies, to lend
q hand in planting, to help in the har-
vest, and they are often made to do ao-
tive duty as scarecrows in the newly
planted field, where, like little Bopeep,
they fall fast asleep The girls help to
gather wood, bring water and look after
the younger ones. AS they grow older
they are taught to cut, sew and make
garments. In former days, the old Oma-
has say, no girl was considered mar
riageable until she had learned to tan
skins, make tents and clothing, prepare
meat for drying and could cultivate
corn and beans, while young man who
had not learned to make his own wea-
pons and to be skillful hunter was not
considered fitted to take upon himself
the responsibilities of the provider of a
family. =" Home Life Among the In

WANTS HAMS, Nor ARTISTS.


A Music Hall Managers Complaint of 40
tors Who Are Above Their business
"Idon't want any more artists, said
the music hail manager who gave the
burlesque. The people | war. are
hams aud nothing but hams Whenever
get an application from an actor who
calls himself an artist, I'm going to
tear up the letter for fear might lose
my presence of mind and engage him.
If the plays "a success, the artist did 1t.
If it's a failure, it was the author.
Sometimes | wonder, when hear these
artists talk, what is the use OF their ever
having plays written for them at all.
They re independent of the dramatlsts,
and | should think they would just step
on the stage and talk their plays. But
they don't do that. They merely con-
tent themselves with refusing to speak
this or that line because it's rotten,
substituting something of their own,
and then saying it's the fault Of the au-
thor that nobody laughs at their stupid
gags. | happened TO have bunch OF

What are artists?" asked the limo
cent
They re chiefly actors who're con
demned to come and act in the music
halls for three times as much as they
ever got III their lives before. What
they do is to call everything rotten, de
eide that they know more about the
play than the man who wrote 1t and
walk around as though it were beneath
them to do anything moro like acting
than that when it came to the question
of acting in a music hall.
"And hams what are they-the sort

They're chiefly variety actors accus-
toned to hard work, rough maybe, with

audience interested. They've come up,
and the artists think they We gone down.

something well, because it's the best
opportunity you've had, and taking no

says, to be a has been than never was

was going to be so original that he

A gentleman at Long Pond, Somerset
county, writes the REPORTERS
Master William Scully, II years old,
son of Mr.. VIM Scully. who has charge
of the Fogg farm near Long Pond. set
out with his rifle few days ago, to visit
bear trap which his father had set a
mile and half from home, on an old
tote road His father instructed him
that If there was anything in the trap tc
return home and inform him. However
when the young lad neared the vicinity
of the trap, he was surprised to behold
Mr.. Bruin coming down the tote road
with the trap and clog attached to him,
On observing the boy, bruin gave vent to
yell of defiance and started towards
the boy, who lodged behind a tree in q
twinkliug. He raised his rifle, got a
sight on the bears head and fired, and in
less time than it takes to tell, the old
duffer lay rolling and struggling on the
earth. The boy waited, trembling with
excitement, until the bear ceased his
struggles, and went up cautiously and
examined him. He proved to be quite a
large one. measuring 6 feet in length,
and weighing in the vicinity of 40C
pounds.
