FISHING IN THE

NOW Is THE TINE TO CAST IN YOUR
EFNE AND CATCH THE BIGGEST
HAULS OF THE SEASON.

AT this season of the year the blue

the mafket. Of course one can find
an occasisnal sea bass, sRepshead and
founder, md at times mackerel are
plentiful. And there is a fair number
OF Holsters, crabs and CLANS. But tAe

IS the bluefisk and unless something
unforeseen HAPPENS il viii hold that

The opinions which are current re-
sarding the bluefsh are usually form
ed in one OF tive ways. A long and
observation-disclosures may be based On
experience at the taile. But this. after
all, affords only liaited insight into
the subject. Again, man may with
wet and abraded fingss haul in five

see the agile and glistening creature
jump out of the water, throw the hook
from its mouth and reurn to the
shades of private life.

end and a bluefish ct the olher is not
pulled in rapidly enough to tstay taut
the consequences just suggested are
likely to ensue, and vivid but exas-
perating exhibition of a bluefsh's
pluck and agility will be afforded. At
ter all, though, nothing like symmet-
rical and complete estimate OF the
character of the bluefsh can be reach
ed without an intimate knowledge of
his private habits.
Awful Tales of His EerOcity.
In spite Of the favor with which this
beautiful and spirited creature is gem
orally regarded, those who have had a
good chance to study him tell awful
tales of his ferocity. The pike and
shark enjoy rather undesirable reputa-
tons in this respect. But a rigid and
strictly judicial investigation of the
facts warrants a suspicion that the

The bluefsh, on the contrary, Stays
just for the fun OF the thing. When
he overtakes a school OF menhaden he
cession. Some of tnem he swallows
whole. Others he merely lacerates.
The fact that he had what is poeti
cally called square meal only fifteen
minutes before puts no restraint on
his murderous propensities. He snaps
at the nearest mosSbunker, takes a
small morsel out of his unfortunate
yictlm, and leaves the mangled re-
mains floating in the water for the
seagulls. The latter haunt the neigh
borhood of band of marauding blue
fish on this account, and thus give 10
the practiced fisherman q free tip re
garding the Whereabouts OF his prey.
The blueflsh eats from . quarter TO
half mis- own weight in the course OF
twenty-four hours. 1t is impossible TO
find q parallel for this voracity among
land carnivora. More than q dozen
mossbunkers have been found In the
stomach of a bluefish. But on the the

Such a calculation emphasizes not only
the destructiveness OF the bluetish, but
also the astonishing fecundity OF its

The Sales of the Liquor in Russia
Are Controlled by the Cow
eminent.

The Russian peasant classes drink
only vodki, which is distilled from rye
and is sold at the average price of
$1.4o gallon, whether in quantities of
one or 10000 gallons, says the New
York Press. The government requires
that the proof of vodki and brandy
shall be 40 degrees and that of spirits
of wine from 80 degrees to 95 degrees.
In provinces where the sale of liquor
is controlled by the government, tenn
perance societies, supported in part
by the government, have been orr gan
lied, with Prince Oldenburg, distin-
guished philanthropist of ST. Peters
burg, as president. They have opened
reading rooms, with libraries and res
taurants, near public gardens and
squares, where large numbers of work
ing people congregate, and they sell
cheap and good food with such tenn
perance drinks as tea, milk and kvass,
made from cranberries and black bread.
One of these societies has constructed
two floating restaurants one of
which will feed GOO people and the
other 300. These boats are towed to
points on the Neva where workingmen
are employed or congregate. An open
theater has been established on Pc
