The taste Of people who are in To-

trout they wish is sometimes peculiar"
remarked a sportsman. the other day.

region one summer on the Cambridge
river. | had excellent success not 100
yards from a mans house. catching all
the trout / wished. I was somewhat
surprised to find that the good farmer
and his family We're eating suckers in
preference to the trout. 1t seems that
the boys had walked three miles to
mill dam, one night a short time be-
fore. and there they secured as many
as a bushel of suckers. These they
kept alive in a trough in which water
was running all the time. and they ate
them as they wished. preferred to go
a few hundred feet and catch a fine
trout for a meal than TO walk three
miles for a sucker"

IS FINALLY REMOVED.
Old Diiapidatcd Welsh House on Court Stree
Burned by Incendiary.

For some time the people Of the city
have been wishing that the old Welsh
house on Court street would be re
moved for it has been anything but
pleasing sight as it rested on the edge
of the bank all ready to collapse.
1t was discovered to be on fire, early
Tuesday morning. but the blaze was
put out. A little later in some manner
IT caught again. After the first fire
there were found traces of firecrackers
in the attic where the fire was. When
the firemen arrived for the second fire
there was n strong odor of kerosene
giving rise to the suspicion that the
place was purposely set on fire
The alarm for the second fire was
rung in at $50 and when the tiremen
arrived the whole of the lower part of
the house was Il roaring furnace. The
firemen could not approach near
enough to do any good on account OF
the severe heat. but directed all their
efforts to save the house next to it,
which is owned by Thomas J. Lynch.
Esq. and occupied by Patrick NJ.
Lynch The house of Mr.. Lynch was
very badly damaged by fire and water,
50 that the loss will be very heavy.
There is an insurance of 500 on il. The
old Welsh house was insured for $500
If it had not been for the new hose
recently purchased for the fire depart
mont the firemen would have been
forced to use old hose at the last fire.
They used from Monday noon to that
time. 1000 feet of hose. When they re-
turned to their houses there was not
an inch of dry hose in the city and wet
hose had to be placed on the wagons.

The literary taste Of the librarians in
the State and in the Lithgow libraries
are presumably tested each day by the
nnople who come in and ask for some
thing good, not having any one thing
in mind. OF course the person caring
for the books will give them something
whether they have read it or not, and
say it is pronounced good. for there Is
not a book in existence that is not
liked by someone, and Is favorably
commented upon. The librarian can

When L had kept the mastiff for
several years, l became the possessor
OF delicate little Italian greyhound.
The mastiff treated him as one Of the
family. and never abused him, but the
little greyhound considered himself a
dog of superior breed and too aristo-
cratic to associate with the mastim. He
would snap and snarl at the mastiff
when he came near, and when the dogs
were fed the little greyhound would
attempt to drive the maStiff away
This continued for some time, until one
day. after the greyhound had eaten
the quantum of food thrown to it, it
ran up to the mastiff, snapped it on the
leg, and attempted to take it's food.
The mastiff looked at it for a second,
and then. as if it had concluded that it
was time to teach the impudent little
greyhound a lesson. grabbed it by the

Cheaper to Pay Rent.

We have often heard the old saying
sit is cheaper to move than to pay
rent" but according to the following,
this rule will not hold good: A de-
cision recently handed down by the
Supreme Court says that a landlord
can compel his tenant to come to h,s
office and pay REM. He need not
look up the tenant and ask; "How

find this out.
