Inside Big Men.

Some fellers whose daddies have railroads to
Who ride behind granddaddy's name.
Who pile up their pelf At steam-shovel gait,
Jump claims In the temple OF fame,
When measured outside, seem like pretty big
bugs;
But, when the worlds labeled em big,
II you auctioned the manhood that's on the In.
side,
No bidder would offer fig.
There's Phineas Jones. of the Bread an'Milk
Trust,
Coins cash out OF infantile walls.
He's bigger outside, as society sees
An Jones-than Boring Sea whale,
But sizin man oy the littlest hole
He'll crawl through to grab at success,
Jones amt quite as big as flea or gnat,
Or microbe or somethin' still less.
Young Artemus Strong is a lawyer by trade,
AS thorough as ever you saw,
He scorned fat fee to teach Phineas Jones
To rob folks accordin' to law.
He's ploddin' along, is failure in life,
Accordin' to Phineas' plan,
But towerin success as God measures up
men.
Inside, he's whalin' big man.
There's many poet, inventor an sage,
Reformer, an scientist crank,
That's toiled out his life chasin' lofty ideals,
With never cent in the bank.
They're called small pertaters by sleek, pros.
porous dolts,
That only sign checks with pen,
While their betters write legacies rich for
mankind
Inside they are whoppir' big men.
For bigness outside is will'o'.the-wisp
On wild goose chase Turing men,
But the big soul within is eternally big,
And that is the true prize to win.
Some day we shall open our kittenish eyes,
See things as they are In Gods ken;
This foolish old world will turn right about
face,
Put premiums on inside big men.

Fishing With II Steam Pump.


NJ Mercier of St. Aubin du Condrait de-
scribes one of the most singular fishing de-
vices imaginable The system, although
of extreme simplicity, is somewhat revolu-
tionary. and was discovered by chance. A
pond on the farm of La Marlequette, bor-
dered by rocky shores. had never been
drained. owing to the expense. Last year
the proprietor conceived the idea of max
ing use of a powerful steam pump. Each
stroke of the piston drew up a hectolitre
f23 gailOns) of water. and the pond was
therefore emptied in a few hours. and not
only was the water drawn off, but also all
the fish that 1t contained. This was a rev.
neighbOrhoOd have at once followed suit.
and the owner of the pump is making a
speciality Of this kind of work He let's out
one of his pumps, modified for this pur-
pose. and the peasants of the region call
1t the fish pump" Each stroke OF the
piston brings up torrent. with which are
mingled fish and crawfish, together with
dirt and debris such contained in
every pond-old sardiDe boxes and the like.
A sort of metal basket receives the whole
The water and slime escape, while a boy
collects the fish and sorts them according
10 species and weight Recently, in ten
hours the FISH In pond of several acres
have been Withdrawn at an expense of 81.
The process is curious and ingenious, and Is
probably especially adapted to bring about
the extinction of the fish tribe.
