Some amusement has been af-
forded by the discovery of sealed
package on an island in the Missis-
sippi river near La Crosse, which,
when opened, vas found to contain a
manuscript entitled edible Passages
Explained. The writer declares that
the Hebrew scriptures have been err
roneously translated; that there were
no miracles ever performed except a
few by Christ himself, and that He
will soon return to earth to reign
thousand years.
Fishermen at Lacrosse claim to
have discovered a huge scheme being
worked by packers by which they
convert Mississippi river catfish into
Columbia river salmon. Hundreds of
tons Of the catfish are shipped from
these valleys to Kansas City and Chi
cage every year. The secret of it is
that the catfish are smoked and treat
ed with a preparation that gives both
the color and taste of salmon, after
which they are canned aud sold for
salmon at considerable profit.
Constant wearers Of eyeglasses
spectacles, etc, are much annoyed by
the dimming of the glasses upon en-
tering warm room from a cooler
place. 1t will greatly interest them
to know that this evil can be obviated
by rubbing the glasses with soft soap.
All that is necessary is to rub every
morning, or before going out, little
so-called green soap, (washing soap,
potash soap over the whole surface
u the glass, polish it until it is bright
again. The preparations .gasolin"
and ..oculustro, offered for the same
purpose at high prices. are nothing
else than pure potash soap.
Two boys were leaning up against
the opera house after the show. The
play had been "A Bunch of KEYS" or
McCarthy's Mishaps, or something
OF that sort but what it was is not
material. One started of towards
home and said 10 his companion,
Come on. Bill He didn't say Bill.
but that IS the way stories are alwaN 5
told. The fellows name is always
Bill And Bill SAID All, wait till
roll my cigarette. and III come.
And that same boy will wonder in
after years why people are not stand
ing around irving to hire him. And
he will no doubt write articles for the
papers on Give the Boy a Chance. "
