FISH HAUNT sUNKEN SHIPS.
"SweeptnE for Wrecks" Is an Inter-
eating Process Practiced by
New York Bay Anglers.

Reefs, mussel beds and old sunken
wrecks are always frequented by fish,
and the anglers search for them with
great patience. Sweeping" for wrecks
is an interesting operation. When the
men have an idea of just about where
wreck is located they start off to
"sweep." When they believe that they
have reached the neighborhood of the
wreck they shorten sail, if the wind is
stiff; and lower little drags or grapnels,
sometimes formed of big squids lashed
together. With the shortened sail the
boat is made to waltz about gently un-
til the drags catch the wreck. Then
she is shaken out" and "killed." All
hands except the skipper commence to
fish on the bottom with small hooks,
and convincing evidence that the boat
is over the wreck is produced by the
hooking Of blackfish. Ranges or land
marks are then taken and the wreck IS
captured. In among the old rotting
timbers sheepsh ead and big blackfish
love to lurk, and in the eddies formed by
the old hulk all sorts of game fish are
apt to loiter. It is believed that there
are many old wrecks, which, il located.
would delight the hearts of the anglers.

STUPIDITY OF A WASP.
An Instance Which Goes to show
That Animal Instinct IL
Not Infallible.

1t is generally supposed that in
stinct unerringly teaches birds and in
sects the best way in which to build
their homes or nests, and also to pro-
vide for their offspring. The follow
ing incident, recently under personal
observation, will show that instinct is
not always infallible, says the Scien-
tific American:
A friend placed three small empty
walls in an open box, on shelf, in an
upright position, in close contact, and
they were uncorked. A short time
afterward 1t was matter of surprise
to find that these had been appro-
priated by female mud wasp. She
had placed goodly number of spiders
in the center VIAL doubtless intended
to serve as food for her future brood;
then proceeded to deposit her eggs in
those on either side. She next closed
tightly the mouths of all three recep-
tacles with hard lime cement. Hav-
ing finished her work, she then doubt
less went on her way, satisfied all had
been done for her offspring that a
thoughtful mother could do.
But just think Of the sensations of
those little wasps when they come into
existence, for. while starving in their
sealed cages, they can plainly see,
through the impenetrable glass walls,
the bountiful supply Of food which was
provided for their use.

The Usage Indians, according to Gen.

Indian Agent Stephens, Of the Crow
Creeks, reports that serious nuisance
and detriment to progress is intertribal

Capt. Cornish, Of the Uintah and
Ouray agency in Utah, complains in his
report that there never has been any
settlement of the claim of the Uncom-
pahgre, White River and Southern Utes
on account of the cession of about
100000 acres of land to the United
States under treaty Of 1880 in consid-
Grafton of certain benefits. The treaty
required that the land should be sub
ject to cash entry only and that the pro-
ceeds after reimbursement to the
United States for sums appropriated
and set aside in the Ute act and paying
tor lands which might be ceded to the
Utes by the United States, outside of
their reservation at $1.25 per acre,
should be deposited to their credit in
the treasury, the interest payable to the
Utes annually with the rest of their an
nuity money. This claim IL still un.
settled.

MUST REMOVE BoNNErs.
Wabash Ond.) Preacher Decides That
He Will InauEurate an In.
vcstiGatiOn.

Rev. j, w. Mcdonald, pastor of the
Cumberland Presbyterian church at
Logansport, Ind, has laid the ground
plans for an outbreak on the part of his
congregation by notifying the ladies
that hereafter they will be expected to
remove their hats and bonnets on en-
tering the sanctuary. Rev. Mr.. McDon-
aid contends that this is single act Of
reverence due the Deity, and, more
over, the reform will tend to concen-
trate the attention of the ladies on the
service rather than on the latest style
of millinery. There is strong remon-
STRANGE going up from the aggrieved
ladies, some of whom threaten to with
draw and worship elsewhere; but the
minister is inflexible, and declares that
if any of the ladies fail to obey the re-
quest they will be called upon from the
pulpit to comply.

OUR NEW CURRENCY.
Bills Of Same Denomination VIM
Bear Close Resemblance.
SeCretary Gage 1nsugurates . Sen.
sible Change-One Dollar silver
Certificates Of the New sys-
tenn Are Nearly Ready.

Secretary of the Treasury Gage long
ago decided to have bills of the same de-
nomination look alike. That is, he
wished the five-dollar silver certificate,
the fve-dollar United States note and
the five-dollar Sherman treasury note
to bear q close resemblance to one an
other.
The first of the designs under the new
system is for the one-dollar silver GER
tificate. The notes will soon be out.
Clearness, simplicity and protection
against counterfeiting have been the
results chiefly aimed at. The new de-
sign is somewhat less artistic than
some of the present silver certificates,
but probably will be more popular
among those who handle money.
The central device on the face of the
note is an American eagle with wings
partly spread, clutching the flag, and
with the dome Of the capitol in the
background. Below the platform upon
which the eagle stands are small por-
traits of Lincoln and Grant set in me-
dallions. Large and clear figures are
in each corner of the note and on the
sides. The space between the central
device and the lathe work at the ends
is clear white paper, except for the inn
print Of the seal in one space and the
denomination of the note in another.
The seal upon the silver certificate will
be in the same ink. The mechanical
work and the technical finish of the en-
cravings are superior to anything ever
before issued from the bureau of en-
craving and printing. The reverse side
of the note corresponds to the face in
respect to the large display of white
paper without printing or lathe work.
Large, plain figures appear in each cor
ner and scrolls make up an attractive
border, but the only remaining space
upon which printing appears is in the
center, where the usual language re-
garding the qualities of the note as a
tender for public dues is set forth.
The object of clear display of white
paper on both sides of the note is to
afford safeguard against counter
feiting. 1t has been found by experts
that it is easier to detect the use of
paper without the usual silk threads
where 1t is not covered with printing.
The device for the silver certificates is
substantially the same as that which
will be used for other forms of paper
money.

TO FOSTER LACE MAKING.
Queen OF the Belgians Appeals to Her
Sister Rulers to FOrswear Wear
Ing Initiation Lace.

The Queen Of the Belgians has issued
q rescript to her sister queens and en-
presses asking them to form an alliance
for the purpose of helping the lace
makers OF Europe. She has appealed
TO them to forswear wearing imitation
lace and to bind themselves to wear
only handmade lace, pointing out that
the machine-made fabric threatens the
extinction Of artistic, hand-worlcd
lace. The number OF lacemakers in
Belgium and France has diminished
sincs the advent Of lace machinery by
10000 psrsons. The queens appeal met
with ready rssponss and the Quseuly
alliance has already become . taet.

Submarine Mine Exploded.

Sullivan's Island beach presented q
O gay picture recently. The inhabit-
ants OF the popular summer resort, re-
inforced by thousand or more of men
women and children from the city,
were strolling upon the sands from 5
o'clock until dark, and the occasion for
the gathering was the announcement
from the United States engineers Of
fee that the submarine mines in the
harbor would be exploded. Promptly
at $50 o'clock the first mine was ex-
ploded. A distinct jar was felt all over
the Island and thena ragged column Of
water about fifty feet high rose about
quarter of mile east of Fort Sumter.
1t stood apparently still for second or
two and then sank into bed of foam.
A dull report was heard as the water
went down. Then the people waited
for the next one. 1t was known that
there were q score or more mines still
lying under the water, and every one
expected that quite number, If not all,
would be touched off, but there was
hitch somewhere, and although the
crowd watched the waves for more than
an hour nothing further happened.
