Fishing on HOrseback.

The most remarkable fishing in the
world is that practiced in catching the
sturgeon in the frozen rivers of the
Ural mountains Fishing on horseback
seems impossible, yet this is literally
true of the fishing for sturgeon.
The Russian Cossacks 90 fishing in
large bands. They mount their horses
and ride across the frozen river until
they are over the place where the cur
rent runs strongest. There they d3-
mount and cut through the thick layer
Of ice until they have formed little
pool Of open water. extending across the
current almost from shore TO shore.
A net, which is sunk to the bottom Cf
the river, is stretched across the stream
at the open space, so that not fish
can swim past it. The horses are re-
mounted, and tive COssacks ride up the
river for distance of four or five miles
Here the band turns about and rides
down over the thick ice covered stream,
forming a long line across it. They urge
their horses at full gallop.
The laundering hOofs of the horses
terrify the fish. and they charge madly
ahead Of the approaching cavalcade
Great swarms of fish choke up the
stream in the mad effort to escape the
terrific noise that is pursuing them, and
in this way they are driven down the

4 Thrilling Entertninment

Perha, the most thrilling entertain

the Romagna, which was as unexpected
as it was unauthorized 1t was the last
day of the carnival, and the theater of
Formlipopoli was packed with crowd
of spectators awaiting the rise of the
curtain. After long delay the curtain
went mp, only to disclose stage Occu-
pied by 100 brigands facing the audi
ence with pointed rifles.
The leader of the strange cast, II
passatore, one of the most ruthless rob-
bers of any age, bowed profoundly to
the horror stricken audience and eX-
planned that the theater was surrounded
by his men, that the first man who at
tempted to escape would be shot, and
that he and his merry men would pro-
ceed to collect any money and valuables
they had with them.
The brigand and his men then de-
scended from the stage and stripped the
audience of their possessions to the val
ue of $400, 600. He then thanked them
all in a graceful speech and left the
theater. 1t is comforting to know that

Blowing a Cork Into u Bottle.

Ask some of the company if they can
blow small bit of cork which you have
placed in the mouth of bottle so that
it will go into the body of the bottle.
Lay the bottle on the table upon its
side and place the bit of cork about an
inch or less inside the open end. The
uninitiated will blow until they get red
in the face, and the cork will invariably
come out of the bottle instead of going
into it. There is simple reason for it
too. The direction of the air forced by
the one blowing brings it against the
bottom of the bottle. The air congresses
within the bottles walls and must find
an outlet therefore it is turned and fore
ed cut at the only vent the bottle has,
necessarily blowing the cork with it.
But take common lemonade straw,
place the end Of it near the cork in the
bottle neck, blow very gently-and the
cork rolls in.
