A SKILFUL NIMROD.

Archibald Mitchell of Norwich and his
 Sportsman.
 The New York Evening Telegram Of last evening published half column article on Archibald Mitchell, of the firm of Porteous & Mitchell, of this city, and his ability as salmon fisherman and sportsman. It comments on his re- cent luck salmon fishing in Canadian waters.
 The article among other things says: MT. Mitchell is the most ardent and successful salmon fisherman in New England, perhaps, owning trout and salmon tackle that is worth not less than five thousand dollars.
 Each spring finds him trying Tor sai- mon at the famous Bangor pool In Maine. A little later he Is casting hls own handsome, self-made and Won- derfully killing flies along the foam ing reaches of the Restigouche river, far in the interior of the Quebec prov ince. He and number of other wealthy sportsmen, not few or whom are from New York, leased, some years ago, a long stretch of that river, TOT which they pay thousands or oollars 5 annually MT. Mitchell, who learned the art of salmon fishing along the tumbling rivers and highland streams of his "old Caledonia" is remarkaplg skillful, and for number of years ne has invariably been high hook eacn season at the Bangor pool, both in the number of salmon taken by him ana Ill respect to the weight of his catches.
 He is also a member of the wealthy New York club that a few years ago stocked Fishers Island with quail ana jack rabbits. Each autumn he ana other members of the club chase the game over the treeless and great swell ing undulations of the island for a week or so, and take great bags or quail and hares, which make thelr homes in the almost impenetrable scruo oak and candle-wood thickets there. Trained hounds, though, they nave

SOUTH CAROLINA,s TEA FARM.

Dr. Charles ". Shepard has, at Sum- merville. South Carolina, the only tea farm in the United States. Last year he sent to market HOO pounds of tea of the finest grade, and this year his crop will be at least 2,OOO pounds. But it doesn't appear that tea growing in the United States is very profitable, for the doctor says that it costs almost as much to pick, with us, of fresh leaf suf ficient to make a pound of tea as it does to raise, pick and pack the same quan- tity of by far the larger part of the teas sent to us from Asia There are therefore, two alternatives presented to the would-be American tea-grower. He must raise the quality of his product above that of the cheaper Oriental grades, or he must reduce the cost of production below that attained by us. The former course has been steadily maintained at Pinehurst (the name of Dr. Shepards far1n), and the doctor thinks that is the only way in which the business can be made to pay. He says: Thus far we have established at Pinehurst very fair tea gardens from choice imported Chinese and Japanese seed. From them we have produced both the green and the black teas, of a quality which readily commands $1 or more in the retail market. The gar dens have few vacancies and the plants have a luxuriant growth. There are also number of gardens raised from hybrids that were introduced many years ago into this country by the na- tional government. Unfortunately they largely relapsed toward the Chinese type. They require rigorous pruning, often the extirpation of refractory in- dividuals; the promotion of a more fla vorable secondary growth and liberal cultivation; under these conditions they give excellent results. It was to be ex- l pected that our experiments must en- counter many obstacles and cause many disappointments. But there has been enough success thus far to war rant their continuance. Ultimately it is hoped to attempt the manufacture of those very highly esteemed and tpriced teas which are rarely met with 1 outside the countries where they are grown; and simply because of light firing" they do not stand distant transportation They should be drank shortly after manufacture. This is a field where the American grower need
 fear no competition from the Orient
 Such teas demand, a high very high price; but if better than can be other
 wise obtained, there will be no scarcity
 of buyers.

HONEST BUT CUTE YANKEE.
His Hencoop Straddles the Line Be
 tween Arizona and Mexico.


 tween Arizona and Mexico.
 There is funny case of international honesty down in Arizona, just on the line between that territory and Mexico A Yankee farmer lives there, one Anna sa Barrow by name, and it is his busi- ness to raise chickens. Chicken feed is cheap in Mexico and chickens bring fine prices in Arizona, but to raise fowls in Mexico and bring them across the boundary, or to buy the feed and bring it across, would involve the payment of a considerable duty, which would eat the profits about as fast as the hens could eat the corn. As for smuggling that was not to be thought of.
 Amasa is Yankee, and he is so hon. est that his neighbors say he wouldn't take advantage of a man in a horse trade. But he is also full of Yankee in- genuity, and after deep cogitation he built a long, slim hencoop, one-haIf of it in Arizona and the other in Mexico On the line there Is gate. Over the line there are barns containing feed At feeding time the gate is opened. and the chicken fancier shoos his flock into Mexico, where they eat their meal. Then she shoos them back to the nrotec- tion of the American flag. where they digest this Mexican grain, lay their eggs, and carry on their family affairs. MT. Barrow saves about fifty per cent.

NEITHER DEAD NoR SLEEPING

NEITHER DEAD NOR SLEEPING.
 The Panama canal scheme isn't dead and it isn't even sleeping. The original company failed in 1889 and passed into the hands of a receiver. In 1893 new company was formed, new subscrip- tions were obtained and the cost of completing the canal was estimated at 300, ,000,ooe francs. In October, 1884, work was again begun on the Culebra section, and has been prosecuted, though not with great energy, contin- uously since. The French people have not been throwing their money into those ditches with quite the reckless ness of the earlier period, but still mon ey enough to keep up the appearance of progress has been forthcoming. In addition to this the Colombian govern ment in 1893 extended the concession so as to give all the time needed for the completion of the enterprise, if it can be completed. It is now stated that the company has, succeeded in enlisting British interest in the work, and that the British government will join with the French government in giving en- couragement to it. If this is true there is no doubt that John Bull stands ready
 to advance all the money that is need ed The new estimates are that the
 canal can be completed with locks for sum not to exceed e2O, 100000, or $1Oo,- 100000. The latest report further says
 that the British and French govern
 ments are to unite in asking the Unit ed States and Germany to join in an | agreement for the absolute neutrallza- | tion of the canal.
 | This is interesting if true, and there
 is no conclusive reason why it should not be true. But there will hardly be another Panama canal boom.

there, which rout them out of their lairs (those of the jack rabbit. and the latter run as fleetly as greyhounds.
 These Fishers Island jack rabbits were originally imported by MT. Mitch ell and the rest of the club members, and at the start they all considered the venture doubtful one. The club from the outset was very much afraid these leng legged and long cared immigrants from abroad might not thrive on the lonely, treeless and wind-swept isle, put their fears were quickly dispelled; they thrive all right-there's no doubt at all about that-indeed, to such a degree that after year or two they became pest, devouring the island farmers crops, their chestnut bar posts, etc.; and they had actually begun work on their dwellings and buildings when the latter (the agriculturists) tele- graphed the club to come lover into Macedonia" and put down the pest.
 Accordingly about thirty members of the club hurried to the island and put down as much of the pest as was pos sible, shooting 1t on the jump as it flew athwart the sky. Still the island has quite as large an accumulation (com- pound interest," of jack rabbit as it de- sires, or actually needs, and now any body Is at liberty to "come over' and help to put it down.
 It is said by those who have tried it to be great and aerial sport to shoot jack rabbits, and MT, Mitchell is almost as fond of it as he is of salmon killing. He will be on the island again early this fall shooting the quadrupedal winged game on the bounce-nailing it with a highly curved trajectory, besides his cyIln

For those who simply will not give up elaborat ton of the sleeve. the split pat terms are useful These appear to be an outside sleeve of generous propor- tions and puff pattern split right on top and allowed to fall away full and loose to show an under puff of the modest proportions now favored. The edges of the split sleeve make the drap- ing for the arm that many consider an artistic necessity of all we'll planned gowns. Some sleeves are slashed from the top of the shoulder to the thumb side of the hand at the small part of the arm and are held together by straps of jeweled pins.
 It Is a good time to get out those gar ments laid away because of the small sleeves. We are wearing precisely the same sleevethat developed into the hor- TOT which bumped up straight on the top of the shoulder. Old party gown bodices with little modest puff at the sleeve that were put away looking so queer may be brought forth now hlush- ing and triumphant, Blouse fronts were not the rage when last this grace full sleeve was in vogue, however, and So LHS ielHpuclliS Ol tue OlQ UUulCe IS all the easier.

TIT F SCARE OYER.

The scare over the new Sunday law has subsided, It has been made plain that it is more liberal than the old law and it has also been made plain that the prosecuting officers are not going to go out of their way to enforce it, but will wait for complaints. They waited for complaints under the old law, but few came, There will be few under the new law, and if the Sunday breakers are as careful as they have been most of them will be as safe as they have been.
 How Sunday laws may work when actually enforced has just been illus trated in Somersworth, New Hamp- shire where the mayor seems to have something to do with the law depart ment. He closed up the confectionery and soda-water shops in the city. Then the outraged shopkeepers turned around and arrested their prosecutor for letting horses at his livery stable on the Lords day Both prosecutions were strictly within the function of the city's law officers, and in each case the arrests were followed by convic- tion. This incident shows that man who lives in glass house should pick the beam out of his own eye before throwing a stone out of his glass house. It also shows that if a Sunday law should be strictly enforced it would be soon repealed

Daniel Logan, editor of the Hono- lulu Evening Bulletin. in an article in the July North American Review reaches this conclusion as to the school system in Hawaii "On the whole, Ha- waii may be proud of her schools. They will not be the least valuable part of the estate that she will bring into the American commonwealth" Those who are wont to criticise the Hawaiians and call them ignorant will be surprised to know that Hawaii spends s404,00O a, year on her schools and that out of an income of somewhat less than s2.OOO,O OOO
 Hawaiian children are compelled to go to school between the ages of five and fifteen and the teaching of~English is compulsory. The school session lasts forty weeks and American text books are used MT. Logan says that 5,S4O full-blooded Hawaiians, 2,44S half breeds, $500 Portuguese and 921 Japan csc attend the Hawaiian public schools.

The Massachusetts bureau of labor statistics finds a decided drift toward the eight-hour work day among the States. It gives a summary of legisla- tion affecting the hours of work in the various commonwealths. No less than ten States already make eight hours as legal days work, where not other wise specified by contract-California, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Missou- ri, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wis consin and Wyoming. The United States government, and Colorado, Ida ho, Kansas, Maryland and Utah decree the eight-hour day in public employ ments, and Massachusetts, a nine-hour day. "The tendency" says the bureau, 'may be said to be unmistakably to- ward this last mentioned period" of eight hours, where formerly the legal working day extended from sunrise to sunset.
