Again, the trout are best and largest ana most fair of flesh where they got the yearly gorge of Mayhy. In waters which the fly has abandoned, the trout run small, are white-fleshed and mud dy, or even of a flat bitterness to the taste. There is no pleasure in catch ing them. Pisciculture has increased the number of trout, "but not the joy" for probably many parts of preserved waters are overpopulated in proportion to the food supply
 In such cases a trout of two pounds becomes lank black cannibal, preying on his own kind. For these reasons 'insecticulture" has begun to be prac- ticed. People try, with more or less success, to acclimatize Mayfly and the green-tailed grannom. Perhaps the weeds are too much cut, in the inter- ests of millers and of. irrigation, and this may be bad for the development of fly. In spite of our wet spring, the chalk streams in some places are very low, being fed from the exhausted reservoirs deep in the hills. On the whole, fish are in an i'll way, taking to browse on tiny creatures in the weeds, and rising only with their tails. Sal mon, probably are little affected by absence of fly, though not even the newest Blue Book shall persuade us that they do not feed in fresh water. On the Dee, and elsewhere, they may b seen to rise when trout do at the swarms of March browns. Thy have been known to eat butterflies, bees, and even, in one case, young swallows. Mp (tplnryhn,Iy, v.lr ic, oot in, This "The Moor and the Loch' More over, if they do not feed in fresh wa ter, why do they take worms prawn, and salmon roe-everywhere an illegal bait? These ures do not vibrate and glitter, and so excite curiosity like the artificial salmon fly and the spinning minnow. They are simply unobtrusive examples of bottom food, yet they are taken when the fly is not taken. It fol- lows that salmon do feed in fresh wa ter; indeed, as they occasionally take tiny trout flies, no other conclusion is feasible. They are sensitive to wealth CT, and in high ruff1ing wind, after a flood, will sometimes bite as eagerly as perch; obviously the circumstances give them an appetite. An opposite opinion now tends to prevail. The sal- mon is thought! to snap at fly, pre- tending to take half dozen in success sion. That means mere high spirits, but when eight or ten fish take seri- ously in one pool we may be sure that the weather or some other cause, has sharpened their stomachs. A snap of frost notoriously has this effect in the Cumberland Eden, where fish do not bite till the autumn frosts begin.-Lon- don News.

The British Foreign Office has just n,lblished a report by the British consul at Loanda upon affairs in the Congo Free State He says that the task of reducing the untame3 tribes to order is enormously increased by the lack of a common language, for the speech known as Kixi-Congo, which now pos sesses both a grammar and dictionary, ceases to be generally understood be- fore stanley Pool is reached, while east ward of this the tongues are as plenti- full as the waterways. The missiona- ries find this difficulty as perplexing as do the state authorities. Another diffi- culty on the Upper Congo is the laby- rinthine system of channels and tribu- +aries which render almost impossible the work of introducing order and CO., besion among the scattered communi- ties over nearly a thousand miles of territory along the river between Leo- noldville and Stanley Falls. This maze of water and swamp is the cause of the unhealthiness so fatal to European life. If is estimated that nine out of every fen state officials die or are inYalided in

Striped pique is new enough goods to be worthy of considerable elabora- tion, and many very ornate dresses are made of it. That of the accompanying picture was black and white, favorite pairing of shades for the stripes. In the plain skirt the stripes were hori- zontal, but the bodice was composed of three-stripe bands of the goods joined with black satin ribbon covered with white embroidered batiste, an embroid- cred band giving the neck finish Black satin gave belt and flowing sash.

Boston has had a daily medical in- spection of her schools for the last three years, and the system is pro- nounced eminently successful in it's re- suits. The city is divided into fifty districts for medical visitation, and to each visitor from one to five schools are assigned. Teachers report the cases of children who seem to be ailing, and the medical inspector decides whether the illness is sufficient to jus tify sending the pupil home again. A report of this inspection for one year shows an examination of S,964 cases, of which 1,156 were found to be too i'll to remain in school. The president of the board of health bears testimony to the efficacy of this system of inspection, and says that by the promptitude and thoroughness of its action it has ar- rested epidemics of diphtheria, scarlet fever and other infectious and conta- gious maladies.

Bavaria has an educational scandal on it's hands. The State sets the ex- animation papers for the "Mittel- schule,'' kind of upper grammar school. Pupils have been caught at these examinations with prepared answers to the questions in their pos session, and an investigation has shown that an official in the Government printing office has been selling the ex- animation papers for some years past.

Heretofore every season of large ag- riculturaI shipments has seen a heavy percentage of valuation reckoned on that basis in favor of the agricultural products. Yet in 1S9S though the in- crease in the value of the farm pro- ducts was of tremendous proportions, the portion of the whole exports repre- scented by this improvement was less than during the year 1894, when the amount of grain sent abroad was not especially large. In 1892, another big crop year, the value of the agricultural merchandise sold was seventy-eight per cent of all the exports. In 1898 1t was but seventy-one per cent. The pleasing fact is thus before us that our ability to supply foreigners with manu- factures is increasing.

Observation-Disclosures
Bound over to the Grand Jury.

On last Wednesday we made note
of the fact that the till of Mike
Rich's had been tempered with dur
ing the latter's absence in Pittsburg.
When Mike came home yesterday he
did a little detective work on his
own hook with the result that he
swore out warrant for brother
Italian by the name of Jim Richards
charging grand larceny. Tim Ben
nett and Will Shumaker arrested
Richards and took him before Squire
Hayes Then the trouble began
Richards can speak no English so
an interpreter had to be secured
When this was obtained the Squire
thought everything would be like
clock work He was doomed to dis
appointment. Every one wanted to
talk at once. Such babe ofvoices
was never heard before When it
finally ceased Squire Hayes bound
Richards over to the next grand
jury in the sum Of 800. Not being
able to give bond he was taken to
Jail.

Notes from the New York Coal Trad
Journal.

The statement has recently appear
ed in regard to the coal trade in Can
ada, that the United States contrib
utes 300, 600 tons of coal mainly TO
the eastern portion of that Dominion
and receives 962, 900 tons mainly at
our Pacific coast ports.
This is the humbug that is being
fed to the working miner Of Ohio and
other States. West Virginia coal
is boycotted; men work ankle deep
or lie on their stomachs in water
digging coal for IS cents a day.
Their entire food being rye bread and
beer. They do not drink the beer
but get an eighth, empty in it a tub
and each man, (there being about
twelve in each cabin), soaks his half
in the beer until his half loaf is
gone
In spite Of all the statements that
are made there will be no general
strike in the Pittsburg coal district.
The officers of the Miners Union
should know that there is no oppor-
tunity for the maintenance of the
Chicago scale.
AS showing what is being done in
West Virginia coal it may be stated
That on one day recently $40 car loads
went out Of the F'armont yards and
the daily average is said to be some
thing over 400.
A dealer at Milwaukee, Wis, says:
Little West Virginia coal is used
in this city, but if it were used ex-
tensively we would not hesitate to
sell it. 1t is a good product and re-
sembles the Pittsburg coal to such an
extent that only experts can distin-
guish one from the other"
