WHY she Mns Mind

One morning. il kindergarten, wee
mite of womanhood had been trying
to attract the teacher by every re-
source of which she was capable, with
out directly saying she had something
to tell. Finally, the young girl went
over and sat beside her, whereupon
little Rachel founced her skirts, puck
cred up her forehead, and, clinching
her hand, exclaimed: "Oh, dear, but
I'm mad" The teacher was surprised.
for Rachel had seemed to be Iaboring
under delightful secret. 'And why
is little Miss Sunshine angry?" asked
the instructor.
''Well, everybody was mad at our
house this morning. Mamma scolded
Sister Jane, and auntie scolded mann
ma, and papa said: % darn and left
the table, so 1 guess 1 can be cross,
too" -Motherhood.

STURGEON A GREAT JUMPER.
a Fisherman's Arms in the
old Days.

"There was time.'' said a visitor
at the aquarium, a fisherman well ac-
quainted with the waters hereabouts,
looking as he spoke over into the
pool of the big sturgeon which came
from the lower Delaware river,
relates the New York Sun, when
sturgeon were plentiful in the Hud-
son river and in New York bay. An
old-time name of smoked sturgeon
was Albany beef.
Sometimes sturgeon were so nu-
merous in the bay that they would
destroy the fishermen's set nets, in
the shad season, for instance cut
great holes in them; but on the
other hand the fishermen used to
make something out of the sturgeon.
They caught them for market;
though sometimes there were more
sturgeon than the market would
take.
'There are very few big surgeons
taken here nowadays; we might go
two or three years without getting
one of any size.
1.-THE sturgeon is great jumper.
There are stories, perfectly true, of
sturgeon jumping into boats. 1 have
heard story told of those old days,
when sturgeon were plentiful in the
bay, of one jumping into mans
arms.
''In those days it was a common
thing to bring fish up to market in
small boat pulling up with the tide,
or sailing up if the wind favored.
In this way one evening, some 40
years or thereabouts ago, two fisher
men, friends, each in his own boat,
with load of fish, were coming up
from Gravesend bay to the city, row.
ing.
when the two men had got up to
about off the Erie basin, the man in
the boat astern heard the man ahead
shouting:
I've got him!'
=" What you got?' says the man
astern.
'Sturgeon!' says the other man,
and when the man astern had pulled
up nearer to him, he found the man
ahead with his arms around a big
sturgeon, that he was fairly hugging
to himself to hold on to it. As the
man sat there holding it it's tail
dropped down in front of him to the
flooring of the boat, and its head
stuck up and above the mans shout
der. He had got it, sure enough, and
he was hanging on to it till his friend
came up to help him.
''When the sturgeon made that leap
in the dark and landed where he did,
the fisherman instinctive1y locked his
arms around him. Doing this he let
go both oars and they both went
overheard. His friend picked up the
oars first, and then went to his
assistance and helped him to get the
sturgeon safely down and secured
and then they went to market.
''This sturgeon that jumped into
the fisherman's arms was about six
feet in length and it weighed just
hundred pounds"

''Drs." Grau, Freiberg and Hermann

and third centuries praeticed exactly
the same hocus-pocus, although Grap
and his friends don't know it. Gran,
Freiberg and Hermann have had hua-

of the police are deeply resented by a
large number of their adherents.

CHERRY Dessert

Soak four tablespoonfuls of tapioca
in pint of water until the water is
all absorbed. Add the juice from a
pint of stoned cherries and another
small cupful of water to the tapioca,
and cook gently Is minutes in a dou-
BILE boiler. Stir in enough sugar to
make it very sweet, then add one
pint of pitted cherries and boil five
minutes longer. If the fruit is not
very juicy rather more than cup
full of water may be required. When
