THEY KEEP Pon5wArElR CLEAR

Goldfish and Sunfish Are Teryorslto Green
Scum and Wiggiers..
Fish have their uses to humanity
over and above serving as food material
or as unwilling caterers to the sport OF
the fisherman, says the New York
Sun. Although it may seem odd SO to
speak of them, they often are as indis
pensable to country place as dog OF
cat.
If that country place happens to be
one that is supplied with running wa
ter. and this is used for ornament in
ponds or fountains, two things are pret,
ty sure to bother the owner.
One is the well-known green scum
which spreads over the waterso of ponds
and fountain basins. When its growth
begins the plant is pretty. 1t starts
from the bottom, as soon as the sun
gets high, in May or June, and sends
upward a delicate, graceful, wavy
thread of vivid green. Until it reaches
: the surface it remains pretty, but once
there it spreads along and rots, and is
soon offensive in several ways. ;
The other nuisance from; standing
water, even when it is often renewed
and directly from the springs, is mos
quitoes. The wigglers grow there.
The remedy for both these troubles
is fish, and the two kinds that willcure
them happen to be the two most desira-
BILE for other reasons.
Goldfish will keep the green scum
from growing; and yellow perch, or, as
they are generally called, SunfiSh, will
destroy the mosquito wigglers. =,
The sunfish one has to catch, but the
goldfish can be bought two for quar-
ter in the fish and bird stores Of the

TO SUBSCRIBERS.

During the past two years o
extreme Gull times the Times
Mountaineer has been sent reg
ularly to great many who nt
doubt appreciate the paper, bu'
who have not been called upoi
for settlement of their sub
scription. During those years
we have endeavored to keep the
paper going without calling up
on delinquents, knowing that
money was difficult to get; but
now that times have improved
we feel that our patrons should
not only settle all arrearages,
but pay their subscription one
year in advance. We have trust
ed many of you one and two
years, and feel that a return of
the compliment is due. You
are therefore urgently requested
to pay up back subscriptions and
one year in advance, which will
entitle you to the Times-Moun-
taineer and the Webfoot Planter
one year as a premium.

NO TIME TO AIM.
The Luck Shot of Hunter at Critical
Moment.

Moment.
It is strange fact that the human
hand, eye and nerve are so constituted
as to act automatically and correctly at
the proper moment, almost without
conscious effort on the owners part.
The author of Tales of Nomad" gives
an experience that illustrates this in q
most fortunate manner.
We were passing through grass
about two feet in height, with clumps
of low scrub here and there. i was
leading, and my spoorer, Kafir named
Jacha, was following me. He had
only one eye, and that eye was keener
to detect game than two pairs of ordi-
nary optics; but on this occasion il
overlooked terrible danger, for the
reason that the danger, though within
a few yards of us, was invisible.
There was rustic In a patch OF
scrub six or seven yards before me, and
suddenly out of it rose wounded buff
falo with bloody mouth and glaring
eye, which wheeled round facing me In
act to charge.
1t all took place quicker than
thought My rifle, which happily was
at full cock, went up to my shoulder
instinctively, and dropped him in his
tracks with ball through the brain.
So sudden was the whole affair that
nay heart had not time even to give a
great thump. do not quite remember
how did it. am sure did not take
fine sight, and doubt whether J
looked at the rib of my r;as at all.
