FUN WITH CATFISH.
The Sport Of Juggling and Of Gourd-
ing In Southern Waters.

The Sport of Juggling and Of GOurd-
ing In Southern Waters.
The fun in Juggling for catfish, which
| Is sport common on the lower Mis-
sissippi, or in gourding for catfish,
which is practiced on the Tombigbee
in Alabama and some Of the Georgia
rivers, consists in falling out of the
pirogue as often as possible, righting
| it, clambering in and pursuing the flee
ing jug or gourd before bailing. Any
body except a Negro, an Indian or
French "Cadian" will upset a pirogue
ten times in an afternoon, and 1t goes
without saying that the catfish jugger
or gourder must know how to swim.
| In Juggling for catfish a strong hand
line Is cut into six-foot lengths. To
one end a big hook is fastened and the
hook Is baited with a hunk of liver
chicken entrails or cheese mixed with
cotton. The older and more strenuous
the cheese the better for the purpose.
The other end of the line Is tied to
the handle of an empty stone jug of one
gallon capacity. into the neck Of which
stopper has been driven tight. The
air flied jug acts as great cork OF
float, marking the position of a line as
bouy, and making it impossible fol-
any fish, however powerful. it may be
to hang itself and keep it under for any
length of time. The upward pull OF
the jug brings the fish to the surface
inevitably.
Two men who want fun with the cat
fish will rig up dozen or two lines and
jugs, then padding out upon the placid
bosom of the Mississippi cast them out
one by one and watch them float.
When one Of them bobs under. OF
starts up or down stream with rush
showing that fish has been hooked
the pirogue, driven by two strong pad
dies, darts after it. The object Is tc
seize the jug and haul out the fish.
AS, however, the jug travels with
great speed and takes the most eccen-
trio shoots and curves, now up, now

Of especial Importance, are the little
fruit flies (Drosophila ampelophila). so
commonly found in houses in the au-
tumn, attracted to overripe or decaying
fruit, which sometimes swarm in great
numbers about the fruit stands in the
markets. These also breed in filth and
play an important part in the disease
transfer relations.
There Is also the species known as
the little house fly (Homalomyia can't
cularis) a small insect with light COL
ored abdomen, commonly found on
windows, and so much like the ordinary
house fly that it can hardly be distin-
guished from it. 1t has. however, a
piercing proboscis and bites severely.
There are also the forms known to en-
tomologists as Phoro fermorata and
Sarcophaga trivalis.
"That Is enough concerning the vari-
ETY. Of flies. In brief the results Of these
observations indicate:
I'm the interest of health, and es-
pecially as obviating the possibility of
the transfer of typhoid fever by flies,
filth Of every description should be re-
moved or buried forthwith.
Every effort should be made by
boards of health in cities and by pri-
vate persons in the country to limit the
breeding of the common housefly. In
addition there should be a strict super
vision of stables in which horses are
kept.
IT have found by careful experimental
work with different insectidal sub
stances that chloride of lime Is the
most efficient thing that can be applied
to filth accumulations in such places
but the trouble Is that chloride of lime
Is rather expensive. At the stable OF
the department Of agriculture the re-
fuse Of the stalls Is gathered In one
spot and treated to chloride Of lime. the
experiment proving so successful that
the number of house flies in the whole
neighborhood has been lessened to a
remarkable extent.
"How do we propose to make war on
these pests? That is simple enough
The division of entomology will send
out literature, of which a vast amount
is being published, to health boards and
committees and individuals all over the
United States, directing them as to the
means and materials to be used In kill
ing off flies and employing preventive
measures for the spread and transmits
sion of disease germs by these insects
while this is being done experiments
will be conducted by the government
experts to discover more efficient meth
ods for carrying on the campaign. Oui
first efforts will be to urge upon the
people the necessity of care.

will come later."-New York Sun.

Nor YET A PoLYGAMIsT.-It will be
remembered that about a year ago,
Bishop Henry c. Potter, Of the Episco-
pal diocese of New York, paid visit to
the Philippine islands in order to ascer-
tain for himself the condition of affairs
there. On his arrival at Manila he
was confronted by a formidable list of
about thirty questions. The list, pre-
pared by Uncle Sam, chiefly for the
Chinese and native Filipinos, was. ner-
ertheless, submitted impartially to al
comers.
Gravely the bishop, as became his re-
spect for forms, wrote down his name,
age, occupation, place Of birth. He did
not even smile as he wrote NO." oppo-
site the question, Have you any
opium?"
But this last question was too much.
A look Of mock pain crossed his feat
ures.
Must answer that?" he asked the
examiner.
The examiner nodded.
And in the space opposite, Are you
a polygamist?" the bishop gravely
wrote Mot yet."-Chicago Chronicle.

HE WAS THANKFUL.-Senator Per-
kins, Of California, who is a sailor
man." as Senator Hanna calls the wor-
thy tars who go down to the sea in
ships, had an experience once which
concerns a storm and a preacher.
The storm was a tremendous one and
it looked as if the vessel was doomed to
go under In the midst Of the excite
ment a minister, who was one Of the
passengers, asked the captain If he
could have prayers.
"Oh, never mind about the prayers,
said the captain. THE men are swear
ing too hard to stop for prayers, and as
long as you hear them swearing" add
ed the captain, there is no danger"
The minister went back to his cabin
A little while later, when the storm
grew worse, the preacher went on deck
to see wnat the sailors were doing,
Then he went back to his wife.
Thank God" he said fervently
those men are still swearing.

Told In the Cloak Room.

Down in one of the counties Of my
state there was once man who ran for
the legislature as an independent" op-
served Mr.. Kluttz, of North Carolina,
in the Democratic cloak room. He Is
still living, and as the county is still on
the map, I snail mention the names of
neither.
But he was a power as an independ-
ent, received an election to the legisla-
ture, and reelection. Nobody could
ever get him to declare where he stood
with the Democrats or Republicans in
his political views. At last the presi-
Dental canvass of 1880 came on with
great fury in my county, and my inde-
pendent friend was again a candidate
for the legislature.
"The boys were determined to make
him declare himself. They badgered
him on every stump where he ap-
peared, and demanded whether he was
for Garfield or Hancock. They wor-
ried the wary old fellow to such an ex-
tent that ne promised on certain day
to state his predictions between the
presidential candidates.
"a mighty throng of voters gathered,
for the entire county was keenly inter-
ested in the man who had successfully
straddled the fence for so many years.
Friends and fellow-citizens,' said
he, as he started on his declarations,
l have keerfully considered the kali
fercashuns Of both these ere candidates
fer the high awfis of president, and af-
ter this keerful considerashun I am
led ter believe thet General Hancock
should be elected fer president and Mr..
Garfield for vice president.
1T was the most artistic feat of po-
litical straddling ever observed" COM
mented Mr.. hluttz.
And he was reelected to the legis-
lature?"
NO." rejoined the king Of all Tar
heel raconteurs, "he fell ignominiously
outside Of the breastworks. The dec
laration was fatal to his legislative ca
reer."

down, now straight across stream, now

down, now straight across stream, now
zigzagging, now whirling In circles,
and as the pirogue endeavors to fol-
low it as closely as a cowboy trails a
cow cut out from herd, upsets are the
most common features Of the sport.
1t requires no art at all to fall out Of
pirogue, but a great deal Of art to
right the narrow craft and get back,
and by the time this Is accomplished
the jug may be half mile distant and
going fast. 1t Is not unusual that two
or three jugs show the presence Of fish
at the same time and when this hap
pens the work is fast and furious for
half an hour.
Some Of the Mississippi catfish are
seven feet long and weigh 200 pounds
and when one Of these becomes at
tached to the jug the task of captur-
ing it, killing it and towing 1t to bank
is not a light one. For this purpose
most of the juggers take out a small
calibred revolver.
Some men become so addicted to this
sport that they will have no other and
wear wet clothing the summer through,
Juggling for catfish in the broiling sun
and Juggling for them with equal pas
sion on moonlight nights.
On the Tombigbee the Negroes and
whites use large calabashes for floats
These gourds are of all shapes and
sizes, some being round and as large
as q pumpkin, others the thickness OF
mans arm and q yard long.
The loose end of the line Is tied tc
the neck Of the calabash through hole
bored in its hard shell, and then II
makes as good a float and bouy as the
jug as we'll as costing nothing.
The fish in the Tombigbee are OF
smaller heft, the stream in most parts
is narrower and the cats are captured
more quickly. On that river, as on the
Mississippi, it sometimes happens tina,
cat takes 1t into his head to sc
straight and to keep on going and the
last seen of the calabash or jug 1t Is
rounding a bend at ten miles an hour
bound seemingly for the Gulf.-NeW
