Salmon Fishing in Maine.


The ice in the river often plays cruel
tricks upon the Verona fishermen who
build their weirs early to entrap the ST. %
salmon, only to have their structures
smashed down by the big foes and the
moment.
This spring the old Penobscot has been
kind, and the ice has passed down In small
installments gently. so that the opening
of the season finds some half dozen of
the Verona experts ready for business. The
hedges have been up for several DAYS,
and in few hours after midnight the
'marline, the netting of the pound
or trap is called, was put in place, and
everything is in readiness for the silver
sided straggler who swims too near the
shore. When single fish will fetch from
80 to $40, it is small wonder that the hardy
fisherman makes an effort to get him. The
S125 and 81 rates, however, hold but a
short time, and a catch of half a dozen fish
will drop prices to IS, go and 80 cents at
which figure 1t rules until the Nova Scotia
fish come in competition. Then the slide
continues, with a slight brace before the
Fourth Of July, until the close of the sea-
son, when silver dollar will buy good
fish at the weirs and 81 one packed in ice
ready for shipment.
The fishermen on the Penobscot are par
ticularly anxious for good salmon season
to offset the dismal failure of the smelt
fishing during the winter. The little fish
have run only in small and scattering
schools and the catchers have made hardly
enough to pay for the wear and tear of
their outfits, to say nothing of day and
night work in the severest of many win
terS
On many nights fishing had to be aban-
doned, as the nets froze as fast as they
came out of the water and the meshes
snapped like thread.

A Dog Who Could Count,

In the instance about to be given, think
that the dog evinced an abstract idea OF
numbers. or else showed phenomenal pow

animal in question, high-bred collie. re-
ceived an injury year or so ago through
which she became permanently and totally
blind. Recently she gave birth to litter of
six puppies, all of which were uniform in
size and In markings. Immediately after
the birth of the puppies the dogs owner
had mother and young removed from the
dark cellar in which they then were and
carried to a warm and well-ventilated room
in his stables. In the darkness of the cell
lar one of the puppies was overlooked and
left behind. As soon as the mother entered
the box in which her young had been plac-
ed, she proceeded to examine them nosing
them about and licking them. Suddenly
she appeared to become very much dis
turbed about something; she Jumped out of
the box and then jumped back again, nos
ing the puppies as before. Again she
jumped from the box and then made her
way toward the cellar, followed by. her as
tonished owner, who had begun to have an
inkling as to what disturbed her. She had
counted her young ones, and had discov-
enough. the abandoned puppy was soon
found and carried in triumph to the new
home.
So astonished was the gentleman at this

ed to experiment further. He removed an
other puppy and held 1t in his arms 1t

AN ENGLISH VIEW.
How the New Poet Laureate of Eng
land is Held in Britain.

From the London Saturday Review.
II an arrangement could be made with
the treasury by which, on the stpula ton
that he should write no verse whatever, the
stipend of the poet laureate could be dou-
bled, We believe that it would be hailed as
an economy. We are very sorry for Mr..
Alfred Austin, for whom we have a weak
ness. He is Il gentleman. a patriot, and a
kind-hearted man; when he was placed in
his present false position we hoped that
common sense would make him adroit and
careful He is no poet, of course yet men
of even smaller gifts could steer their
course with safety by the exercise of tact
and humor. But of these the laureate has
not a trace. In the ocean of inane public
utterances his dreadful ballad of Jane
sons Ride" stands up, Teneriffe of tact
ieSsneSs, the worst literary blunder of the
age. This week, when all the world Is SO
touchy, Mr.. Austin circulates to the morn
ing papers an ode called "A Voice From the
West" in which he treats America with the
sort of unconscious patronage by which he
drove Mr.. William Watson wild in gra-
ciously reckoning him up the slopes Of Par
nasSuS.
The misfortune is that Mr.. Alfred Austin
has never become known in America and
since his appointment his name has been
greeted with a great deal of rather ill-brej
chan in New York and Boston. The Amer
leans are not aware of those genuine quail
ties of head and heart which he possesses.
They will not appreciate being told that
they are lords of strong young land aud
we are lords of the main" The habit of
employing richly figurative speech Is often
abused in the United States; we feel a
melancholy certainty that it was abused
when "A Voice From the West" (Which is
surely a geographical blunder, as Mr.. Aus
tin is not singing from Japan was re-
printed. Nor can English ears have done
less than redden and Jingle at this foolish,
secondhand bunkum about the sons of
the self-same race. and blood of the self
same clan," about loyalty loving and trust
ing each other" about the tale of an an
cient wrong" and all the rest of the rheto-
rio This stuff, so tame, trite, SO false,
so tuneless as verse. SO parochial in man
ner, Is likely to do no more than remind u.s.
with sigh of regret, how dignified and
weighty were the rare utterances on such
occasions made by the great Alfred who
reigned last in the laurel.

PROFITS AT MONTE CARLO.
Enormous Income Indicated by the
Price of the franchise.
From the London Mail.

From the London Mail.
One can form some idea of the enormous
profits made by the gambling hell at Monte
Carlo by studying the terms on which the
Prince of Monaco has granted d prolonga-
ton OF the concession under which this in
famous establishment exists. The present
concession expires in 1913, but the share
holders think 1t wise to secure a further
concession before that date. The terms,
which were presented and ratified the 9TH
er day, are as follows:
The 100000 for the concession, plus 600
900 allowed for the expenses of the gov
ernmerit of the principality. are to be con-
tiiued, together with the allowances for
public works, lighting, maintenance of the
INSTITUTIONS, etc, amounting in all to anoth-
er 100000 or fGO,0sU per annum. In addi-
ton. the Casino Company undertakes to
pay over Immediately to the prince in hard
cash TIE sum of f4OUOo0, and further to
spend f2VD,OOO upon public works in the
shape of opening up new avenues and
streets IN parts of the principality indi-
Gated by the price, to spend ISL, 600 in the
construction of new theater and opera
house, this to be completed in time for the
exhibition of 1880; to hand over to the
manager OF the theater of Monte Carlo
fl 900 for each performance. this sum to be
81 cnt exclusively in the payment OF special
artists, the company to further bear all
scenery. Finally, the company undertakes
to pay over to the prince in cash f6tWopD In
the year 1913, which WAS the date of the
expiration of the old contract granted by
the late Prince Charles III.
The Casino Company is. therefore. called
iron TO find al additional sum of 81 80 900
without counting the rant to the manager
OF the theateD as the price of the new
concession. The prince also insists upon
having in future direct voice in the
management of the concern He is to be
consulted in the appointment of both the
manager and directors of the Casino Com
pany; he is to have the right to nomina te
the manager of the theater; to be consult
ed in the engagement of the artists and the
chef dorchestre, and most important of
all, he is to have control of the publicity
department. The company spends about
$4,000 in 'squaring' the continental press
and purchasing it's benevolent neutrality
In the matter of gambling. The prince in
sists upon his right to issue to these jour-
nails which are in the pay of the concern
such notes and paragraphs as he may
think proper.

A WONDERFUL ESCAPE.
JnSuar and Puma Fight Over a Baby
and Finally Forget Ii.

From the Philadelphia Times.
I'm the Guarico country, at a village
called Paraya, near the Merida trail, l saw
an Indian named Jose Lobado whose face
and head were deeply SCARED and whose
body was a network of similar scars from
wounds received through being carried
away by a jaguar when an infant in arms.
OF course he could not remember the &C.
crrrence, but his mother, who had rescued
him, described it to me. She had gone to
n alta, or wooded spot, on the pampas for
firewood, carrying her child. after the
fashion of Venezuelan women of humble
station in shawl looped from her Shout

gathered her bundle of sticks, and she Old
not perceive the approach Of jaguar until
he had seized the child and was carrying
1t away. The mother grasped her machete
and ran after the taguar shriekiag She
n anaged to keep TIE beast in sight, but he
was rapidly getting beyond her view when
suddenly the jaguar stopped, put the child
down and, bristiing for fight, stood with
his forepaws resting upon it.
Then the mother saw that a puma was
fronting the jaguar She hurried on toward
where the two beasts faced each othe-.
growing and snarling. Before she got TO
them the puma Sprang. and at once the
TWO were hghtlnS fercely above the child.
In the struggle the child was rolled 10 one
side, but before the mother could get 10 il
the jaguar broke away from the puma
and. springing to the boy again. crouched
with his paws above him as before The
puma leaped again and the fight was re-
newed. but again the jaguar got clear and
jumped to guard his prey before the mother
could get a chance to snatch her child.
Once more the puma attacked his foe and
this time as the beasts struggled and tore
each other accidental kick from epe If
them sent the boy twenty feet away, al
most 10 the mothers feet. Catching him
up, she ran for home and got safe to the
house. The boy, though covered with claw
wounds from head to foot and bearing deep
marks of the jasuars teeth In the hack
where the beast had seized him to carry
him away. recovered completely from his
injuries, although bearing the scars for
his lifetime. The puma and the jaguar
were found, both dead. at the place where
they had fought.
