NJ lining Camp Dishwashing and Tory Is
land Teamaking.
An old camper out once related to a
Mortified housekeeper his experience OF
dishwashing in miners camp. 1t did
not take much time, though the com
pany was numerous and the utensils OF
the kitchens were in constant use. The
reason why it took but little time he
sufficiently indicated by the statement
that the cook pot was not cleaned till
it became too small to hold a pudding
of reasonable size. Then somebody got
a hammer and knocked off the hardened
accretions from its interior till 1T was
restored nearly enough to its original
capacity to render further service.
On Tory island, an out Of the way bit
of an Irish islet, and indeed to less
degree throughout Donegal, the natives
are not much more dainty in their liv-
ing, and their habit Of letting the
grounds remain indefinitely in their tea
pots has disastrous consequences.

ing in the embers of the hearth, and ut
each successive brew fresh tea is thrown
in, but the old is never thrown out un-
til the pot is choked. The result Is an
unusual and excessive rate of insanity.
Little wonder, when Tory island boy
who was questioned as to his usual
meals, could reply:
"Stirabout for breakfast and tay for
dinner; tay, av coorse, at daytime and
stirabout for supper, whites we have
tay for breakfast instead and stirabout
for our dinner, and then another sup of
tay before bedtime.
However, this diet, injurious as it rs
to the nerves, does not seem to affect
the muscles. The Tory islanders are a
robust and vigorous race, the men av-
eraging 6 feet in height and tho women
unusually tall and strong. The women

Landing n Bulldog.

A Chicago man who had been trolling
for muskellunSe was returning across
the fields to the farmhouse where he
was stopping, when he met with re-
markable adventure. he thus relates IT.
in the Chicago Times Herald: Il hadn't
gone far when / heard n savage growl
behind me, and the next minute l was
,clambering into the branches of con-
yenient tree, with big bulldog snap
ping at my heels. As / swung myself up
ont of reach struck frantically at the
brute with my trolling spoon. One OF
the heavy hooks caught him fairly in
the nose, and in moment he began
paving and thrashing about in wild
endeavor to get loose. 1t took an hour
to land him. He would run out a couple
of hundred feet, dive into the deep clover
and sulk and growl. Then would haul
him in, hand over hand, with hitch
around convenient limb. Whenever l
slackened the line, away he would 60
again until I brought him up with a
sharp turn. 1t was great sport. Talk
about fishing! Landing a 20 pound
muskellunge is tame and uninteresting
when compared with landing 30 pound
bulldog. At the end of an hour he lay
down at the foot Of the tree, and l
couldn't induce him to fight. l tied the
line tightly about a limb. jumped down
out of his reach and ran for the nearest
