FISHING OFF A MAN-oF- WAR.
one Particularly Exciting Catch
which Raised n Row Among
the Jnclxiea.

The followers of Izaak Walton ON
board a man-of-war are won't TO ply the
gentle art with a line alonc) from over
the ships side during the evening. A
sublieutenant, who was not particular
ly liked by his junior messnates, was
one day so engaged, when a midship-
man, seeing the line depending from
the chains" above, reached out Of one
Of the main deck ports and gave it a
couple Of violent tugs, in imitation Of a
fish biting. Up the line was hauled with
alacrity, but Of course with no result.
Once again the "sub" essayed to catch
this big fish that had given him so
heavy bite, says Cornhill Magazine.
This time the middy's plan was more
elaborate, for getting companion TO
keep the necessary strain upon the
upper portion, he hauled up the lower
part of the fishing line and attached to
the hooks an old shoe, an empty bottle,
a holy stone and a sardine tin. Having
carefully lowered these to the fun eX-
tent of the line, he gave it more pow
erful pull than ever, and the expect
ant fisherman above haulei in as fast as
he could, hand over hand. But his Ian
guage when he discovered the nature Of
his catch" is too much TO ask even an
unfortunate compositor to set up in
cold type.

DoRcHEsTER's TEACHERS.
EXAMINATIONS IN PROGRESS TO
WEED OUT INCOMPETENT PER-
SONS.


Cambridge, Md, July 3.-Eighty-fye
white teachers of Dorchester county
were at the Academy building in
Cambridge to ascertain whether or
not they are to continue teaching or
remain at home. Much comment pro
and con has resulted from the action
of Joseph L. Kerr, public school ex-
aminer, in announcing two months
ago that an examination of all the
teachers in Dorchester county would
be held at this time. This is under
stood to be the first general examina-
tion of teachers for the county in a
number of years. The examination
includes every teacher in the county
except state normal graduates, ana
those holding life certificates.
Complaints have been made to Mr..
Kerr to the effect that there were
teachers in a number of the schools of
Dorchester county who were almost
wholly unqualified for their duties
The matter became so urgent that il
was by a unanimous vote of the
School Board that Mr.. Kerr was in
structed to hold this general examina-
ton. Since the announcement APP
pointing the time for the examination
was made a very small minority have
undertaken to criticise the action OF
the examiner. 1t is thought the ground
Of their objections would not be a
hard problem to solve. Mr.. Kerr ad-
mits the more he investigates the
complaints the greater reason he has
for believing the examination neces'
sary. The examination is by no means
rigid, but reasonable and fair, and il
is claimed by the school authorities
that those who fail ought not to teach

RECENT LITERATURE.

McClure's Magazine for July opens
with a very complete and instructive
account Of the automobile as it is seen
to-day, no longer a matter OF mere
promise or experiment, but one OF
constant use; the article ex-
plains what it costs, how it is operated.
and just what It viii do, setting forth
the respective advantages and disad
Of the various kinds. And it
is illustrated with pictures OF all the
more important types. The recent de-
velopments viii be a surprise to most
readers, although they have been ef-
fected almost under their very eyes.
The Forum has a number Of inter
esting articles this month. Among
them are: THE Trust Problem and
Its Solution. by ex-senator w. A. Pef-
fer Lord Rosebery and the Premier
ship" by II. w. Lucy, who contributes
the weekly Essence of Parliament" to
Punch; WAS Columbus Morally IRE
sponsible?" by Professor c. Lombroso,
the eminent criminologist; and The
Future of the Negro, ,"by w. II. Coun-
Gill, the colored president of the Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College for
Negroes. at Normal, Alabama.
Golfers Weekly for July is a fine
news number. The front, a drawing
by T. Dart Walker is entitled "The
Army Of the Cafe" and depicts the
daily gathering Of Cuban officers at
the Hotel Inglaterra, in Havana. The
Philippine article is by Fredrick Pal
mer, and is illustrated by many fine
photographs, among others exclusive
pictures OF Aguinaldo's stronghold.
The return OF Major Marchand to
Paris is illustrated.
The National Magazine for July
takes a bold stand in a campaign
against trusts. The subject is treated
from the standpoint Of business men
and the great army of people depend
ent upon their industrial effort, sala-
ries and wages Mr.. Chappie con-
cludes his article as follows: The

from their supreme control OF finan-
cial. and politcail affairs, OF all think

most powerful plutocracy of which
this world holds record" "

to figure prominently In the literary
world. Her first articles were accepted
by Harpcrs. Her style was simple, cas-.
and graceful. and her plots interesting
and well-dehned. The fuency with which
she wrote may be understood by the fact
that she wrote her stories on the type
writer as she composed them, and never

IS TT MALARIA OR ALUM?

I.anguor loss of appetite, indigestion
and often feverishness are the common
symptoms of a physiological condition
termed malaria" All these symptoms
may be and frequently are the effect Of
the use Of alum baking powders in food
making. There is no question about the
poisonous effect of alum upon the sys-
tenn. 1t obstructs digestion, prostitutes
the nerves, coagulates and devitalizes
the blood. All this has been made clear,
thanks to physicians, boards of health.
and food commissions. SO "highly in
furious to the health of the community"
does the eminent head Of the University
of Pennsylvania, DR.. Barker, consider
the alum baking powders, that he says
their sale should be prohibited by law"
Under these circumstances It is worth
the while Of every housewife to employ
the very little care that is necessary to
keep so dangerous an element from the
food Of her family.
A pure cream of tartar baking powder,
which Is the only kind that should be
used, ought to cost about forty-five To
fifty cents a pound. Therefore, If you
are paying much less. something is
wrong; if you are paying twenty-five
cents or less per pound, the powder is
certainly made from alum.
Always bear these simple facts in mind
when purchasing baking powder.-Popu.
