brown throat barred to the air. each swart
head uncovered to the glare OF the midday
sun. each narrow-bladed paddle keeping
unison with those before and behind. the
hand Of the paddler never reaching higher
than his chin. since each had learned the
labor-saving fashion OF the Indian canoe
man. The day was bright and CHEEKY. the
air not too ardent. and across the coppery
waters there stretched slants Of shadow
from the empowering forest trees. They
were alone. these travellers; yet for the time
at least part Of them seemed carefree and
quite abandoned to the sheer zest Of life.
There arose again, after the fashion Of the
voyageurs. the measure Of the padding
song. without which indeed the paddler had
not been able to perform his labor at the
thwart. .,--~.a~r

We agree with Brother Wilson, of
the Press and Banner in tho following
conclusion drawn from actual exper-
ience:
"'A herd of Angoras will olean out
all the noxious weeds, bushes, briars
and such plants as are troublesome
and put the land in fine condition for

THAT is the way some people have
of slandering the goat family. Some
body is always talking Of 'noxious

equally undesirable food, as being the
delight of goats. This editor once
had some experience with goats. He
had read some letters of Mr.. J. W.
Watts. say twenty years ago. and
straightway bought an Angora billy,
and whole gang of the ordinary
herd. We expected to see the nokious
weeds and other nuisances disappear
in jiffy.

Fishing in the Yellowstone.

People returning from the west fire.
quently have some wonderful stories
to relate of how they caught trout in
the Yellowstone Park, and, without
changing their seat. lifted tAe
fish out Of the stream of
cold water over into boiling spring,
and cooked it without removing it
from the hook. These stories are all
very we'll in their way, but when told
in the manner above outlined, one
can safely put them down as yarns
without the slightest foundation in
fact. To catch o fish in stream OF
cold water, and lift it over into q
spring Of boiling water is one Of the
many curious things that are possible
only in the Yellowstone Park, but,
should the person 80 doing attempt to
draw the fish out of the boiling spring,
the head would pull off the thoroughly
boiled and perfectly soft body, and he
would thus lose the fish.
The most wonderful phenomena of
this sort in the Yellowstone Park is
one that thus far escaped those who
are fond Of telling big ash yarns,
mainly for the reason that the locality
lies outside the beaten track Of travel
and visitors, and can only be reached
after considerable difficulty. At the
point in question, stream of clear,
cold water flows through tho park re-
ceiving in it's course the scalding hot
waters Of one Of the numerous boiling
springs Of that region. This boiling
water, as it reaches the cold stream,
flows for q considerable distance,
along one bank before the waters final
ly miDgle and become one in tempera-
ture.
Into this spring of boiling water,
insects, bugs, toads, grasshoppers,
and the like are continually dropping,
and thus losing their lives, and all
such insects are, as matter of course,
STept into the cold water stream.
Now in the cold water of this stream
a number of hungry trout are cvntinu-
ally skirmishing along the edge of the
hot water, taking good care not to
venture too close, for the purpose of
swapping up and devouring the insects
brought down by the hot water, and
which happen to float over into the
cold water, or near enough the border
for the trout to pick them up, so that
it is possible for q fisherman sitting
on the bank, to catch trout, with
hook aud line, draw him two feet from
where he took the hook, and boil him
good aud done, all in the same stream,
and without ever lifting the fish from
the water. The fisherman would, Of
course. have to have scoop net to re-
move the boiled trout from the water,
for otherwise the head would pull of, /,
leaving the body in the sater. But,
barring this, it is within the bounds
Of truth for one to say that the Vel;
lowstone is the only place on earth
where it is possible to catch and cook
fish in the same stream.-Washing-
ton Post.
