Tn. Mysterious Passenger.

The captain of vessel which was
bringing to America in the fall of 1895
mysterious passenger who had come
aboard at Hamburg watched the latter
so closely that at last the passenger said
one day: "Sir, this is not the first occa.

attentive scrutiny you bestow upon me.

"Sir, responded the candid captain,
"you took passage on my ship as a
Dane. don't believe you re anything Of
the kind
The passenger smiled. The smile was
full Of perspicacity and confidence and
was followed with, PRAY, tell me-
then, what you believe me to be-"
At this question Captain Ewing
fidgeted, hesitated and finally blurted
out: Well, to be honest, I think you
are gambler. You've we'll nigh ruined
yourself at home and are now coming
to fleece the fools you'll find OIL shore. y
The young mans smile hroadened.
The next minute he turned grave again,
lowered his voice and replied "Cap.

The NIinnOvv Tran.

The minnow trap used for catching
minnows for bait is of glass, shaped like
jar or q bottle without neck and Of
capacity of six or eight quarts. The
bottom Of the trap rises in cone, like
the bottom of a champagne bottle, but
instead of being solid the top of the
cone is cut off, making an opening in
the trap The top of the trap has over
it metal cap on hinge. The cap is
perforated with number of holes to
permit of the circulation of water
through the trap.
The minnow trap is slung horizon
tally i'll wire holder, which has i, han
die on top, to which rope is mado fast.
Suitable bait to attract minnows is
placed in the trap, which is then low
cred into the water. The cone with the
opening at the inner end in the bottom
is in effect like the opening into an eel
or fish trap. 1t is easy for the minnows
to get through it into the trap in search
OF the bait, but hard for them to get
out. When the trap has been raised,
the captured minnows are got out by
opening the cap at the other end of the
trap.-New York Sun.
