BATTLE-sCARRED BANNER.
Those of the Heavy Artillery Now
in the States Possession.

Major Frank S. Rice, Commander of
the First Battalion California United
States Volunteer Heavy Artillery, yes
terday deposited in the archives of the
Adiutant Generals Office in the Capitol
building the national and battalion
colors carried by his command While
serving in the Spanish-American and
the Philippine wars.
The cities of Sacramento and San
Francisco had applied to Major Rice for
the flags, but the latter, before finally
disposing of them, wrote to Adjutant
General Seamans asking whether the
State desired the colors, provided the
battalion was not required to turn them
over to the Federal Government.
General Seamans' reply, which was
responsible for the disposition made OF
the colors, was as follows:
"In reply to your letter of the 9th
instant, will say that the State of Cali
fornia certainly desires that the colors
of your battalion be placed in the arch
ives at Sacramento, if you are permit
ted to do 50 by the mastering out officer
of the regular army.
"This seems to be the custom in most
States, and it certainly seems more de-
sirable that these colors be deposited in
the State Capitol, which is undoubtedly
the place for them, than with some
municipal authorities.
''The colors of the California Regi-
ments that served in the civil war are
in this office and the colors Of the bat
talions and regiments that served in
the Spanish-American war should be
similarly preserved"

thing.

The fall crop of fish stories is ripe,
and the yield is heavy. No one has bet
ter samples to show than DIR. y. w.
Nixon, who has been on his annual trip
to Manitowish after muskellunge. Dr.
Nixon says the ''musky is an organ
lied appetite, and tells some very inter-
estiny tales to show the voraciousness
of the fish. They will eat almost any
thing, and have driven out or devoured
all the other fish except the pike. and
DO not hesitate to dine off the latter
whenever practicable. DIR. Nixon's
first story to illustrate their appetite
is this:
I'VE were still-fshing in pike hole,
and my brother got good strike. The
fish got under the boat and broke his
line. The next morning, when we
started out, my brother jokingly noti-
fed us all that if anyone caught that
fish with his hook in him he should
claim it. Not more than 500 feet from
the same hole DR.. Talbot 60: a good fish
and landed him. II was my brothers
fish. His hook, sinker and four or five
feet of line were in plain evidence. A
fish Snust be hungry to bite the next day
with all that in his internal machinery.
'But the mere fact that a musky has
a single hook in him will not satisfy
him; neither will a spoon hook. 1 once
found a man sitting on the bank discon-
ISOLATE. A musky had taken his
last spoon hook. and pretty much
all his line. While he was tell
ing me I got strike and land
ed the fish. He had so or 60 feet of line
attached to him, and a spoon hook in
his mouth. The man on the bank iden-
titled his property, got it, and went to
fishing again.
1.-Two more instances and l think
have proved my point. 1 have seen a
muskellunge dart out of the reeds and
bite at the bright copper binding on an
oar and then take spoon hook playing
behind the boat. But the most remark
able example of the Unsuitable appetite
of the muskellunge was fish caught
by Clarence Peck. When he was land
ed in the boat there were feathers
sticking out of his mouth. We cut him
open and there was a full grown mud
hen inside of him. The process of diges-
ton had not yet begun, and yet the fish
had bit at another bait."-Chicago In

Causes Of Hysteria,

Most people do not sufficiently un-
derstand thathysteria is symptom and
not a disease. Among the many predis-
posing causes which might be named
are chronic dyspepsia, neuralgia, ane-
mia, depressing surroundings and a
great mental anxiety and worry. Some
times hysteria is due to ennui, and it is
a well-accepted fact that it is an affec-
ton which chiefly attacks the upper
middle classes. Poor people have 10
time to indulge in the luxury of dis
play of the emotions. When the cause
can be ascertained, the general treat
ment must be directed toward its re-
moval. Daily exercise in the open air.
the morning sponge bath and a good
quinine and iron tonic are valuable aids
toward a cure. A change of air and
scene will also sometimes work mar
wells, and in all cases the patients mind
should be kept interested and amused.
