CATCH LOADS OF FISH.
Farmers of Michigan Discover Mill
lions of the Ffnny Tribe
in New Lake.

Farmers of Berrien county, Mich,
near Glendora, are having steady diet
of fish, the supply Of fish being SEEM
ingly inexhaustible. Two years ago
lastspring, following the spring thaws,
Smith lake, three miles east of Glen
dora, overfowed it's banks. The re-
sultant stream passed through a val
ley and ran into a small swamp just
west of Glendora. Last spring thou
sands of small minnows that had been
carried by the overlooking water were
discovered in the new inland lake.
Two hunters who were passing over
the new lake on the ice recently dis
covered an airhole, through which
they saw scores of large fish. The
hunters in few moments caught all
the fish they could carry and then hur-
ried to the village. The following
morning many citizens rushed to the
lake and within two hours fully five
wagon loads of fish were taken out.
Pitchforks, potato hooks and shovels
are used by the farmers in their hur-
ried way to collect their full share of
the prize. Among the different spe-
cies caught were grass pike, black bass,
bullheads, suckers and pickerel. Many
of the latter weighed three pounds and
over.

TELLS ABOUT THE OKAPI.
Prof. Lancaster Lectured Before
Royal Institution on the Recent
" Discovered Animal

Prof. Ray Lancaster. director of the
natural history department of the
British museum, lectured at the Roy
al institutioninL London the other even
ing on the okapi. new mammal dis
covered in Central Africa.
Sir Harry Johnston drew attention
to the absence of secondary hoofs and
anything like a horn and also to the
curious fact that the canine teeth in
the lower jaw bifoliate, the giraffe be-
ing the only other known animal to
have this popularity. The extinct he'll
ladotherium with which the okapi was
originally compared differed too much
to justify placing them in the same
genus, though doubtless they were
nearly related.
It was scarcely possible to decide
whether the okapi was primitive in be-
ing hornless or whether it's ancestors
had horns and had lost them. Per-
sona1ly he thought the okap i lever had
horns:

HER DREAM BROUGHT LEGACY
How Mrs. Jennie Cannon Secured a
Small Sum of Money Which Had
Been Left to Her.

A dream was worth $500 to Mrs. Jen-
ME Cannon, former resident of Sioux
Falls, S. D.. but who now lives at Min
neapolis. Mrs. Cannon is the daugh-
ter of Austin Carson, farmer living
in Minnehaha county, S. D. Some
years ago she left home and was mar
ried and living in Duluth. A couple of
children were born and gradually she
dropped off all her correspondence. It
was not long before her relatives in
South Dakota began to think she was
dead. In the meantime Ole Ostensen
had died, leaving her legacy. Search
was made for her by the administra-
tors of the estate, but without sue
cess. Then came the dream. Mrs,
Cannon dreamed that her father was
sick unto death. The dream was so
vivid and impressed her to such an
extent that she wrote him letter
of inquiry. The answer to her letter
was the news that she was entitled
to portion of the money left by o.
Jensen. Mrs. Cannon at once went
to Sioux Falls with her children and
secured the money.

Strange Life of Miss Hall Who Mas
queraded AS Man Comes Out
Through Legal PrOceedinGs.

The story Of the strange life of Miss
Caroline Hall, who died on the steam
ship City of Turin las fall while COM
ing to America dressed as a man to
obtain money from her father, John
Hall, of &c Center street. Roxbury,
Mass. has at last been made public
Miss Giuseppina Boriani. who came as
the "wife' of the supposed man on the
steamship, and who went back to
Milan. Italy. has returned to sue John
Hall for $4,000 for ten years salary
as companion to his daughter and for
5000 loaned to the strange woman.
Miss Boriani is handsome woman,
As years old. She says she was under
salary of $50 month for ten years as
Miss Halls companion, but was never
paid. She states that Miss Hall was
known as woman when she entered
her service, but soon after abandoned
skirts for trousers. because she loved
hunting and was hampered by skirts.
'She frequently had men as her
guests on shooting trips" said Miss
Boriani, ''and she was the best hunts
man of the set. She lived the life of
man about town in Milan, and drank
and smoked with men in cafes. Her
friends knew she was a woman, but
others did not.''

woman's club with which the queen

Uses to surpass all previous ones and
to be rather international in charac-
ter, as several American ladies, who
are coming over to London at that
time, have communicated with the Of
ficers in regard to the exhibition of
dogs. Tt is thought there will be lit

casion modification of the present
restrictions on bringing dogs into
England. In fact, it is understood that
steps have already been undertaken
with this purpose in view.

When John P. Altgeld died
there passed away one of the
most maligned and most mis-
understood men in the United
States. Altgeld was so radi-
cal that he naturally evoked
antagonism. His soul revolt
ed at injustice, and he could
not bear to see wrongs per-
petrated, without fierce pro-
test. He was Intellectually
of a very high order, and his
career from the towpath to
the governors chair, and the
influences he welded, shows
him to have been an extra
ordinary man. When time
has softened or eradicated
the prejudices of the present,
Justice will be done to him as
a great worker in the cause
of human liberty.

SHOWS MARKED IMPETUS.
Some Facts Rearding Direct Trade
Relations Between United States
and Southern France. ~.&&

One of the features of the year 1901
in connection with the importation of
manufactures from the United States
to southern France has been that, for
the first time in the history of the
trade, direct appropriations have oc-
Cured from the manufacturers to the
docks at Nice. Interested parties had
for some time been indicating that a
marked impetus would be given to the
trade by this means. 1t was pointed
out that the geographical position of
Nice was such that the harbor need
not depend upon the distributive CEN
tiers, as was heretofore the case, nor
submit to the increased cost caused by
long railroad Journeys, to the very con-
siderable profit of the middlemen. Di-
rect importation was noted of small
machinery, job and newspaper print
ing presses, paper-cutting machines,
patent clasp envelopes, fine emboss-
ing card work and paper; and orders
are now on the way for number of
other manufactures. The result will
be that the list of United States arti-
cles figuring in the custom house re-
turns as importations will, it is esti-
mated, be doubled, if not trebled, in
1902. The final results of the inaugu-
ration of this direct trade can hardly
be realized yet, as the saving must GER
tainly amount to not less than 80 per
cent. When it is said that goods may
be carried by sea on through bills of
1ading from New York at about Is
shillings per ton, weight or measure
ment, the source of great saving will
readily be perceived. If the saving of
commissions and middlemen's profits
be added, the enormous incentive to
trade that will result can be readily
understood.
Direct importation, inaugurated by
some of the consular officers of the
United States, appears to be the sys-
tenn of commercial expansion of the
future.

SCARED BY STRANGE BEAST.
Virginia Farmers Alarmed by n
Monster Which Has It's Refuge
in the Dismal SWAMP

Another monster has come forth
from the dismal swamp jungles, and
is spreading alarm among farmers
around Driver, ~ miles from Suffolk,
Va. Last week an unclassified ami
NAL not Indigenous to high lands ter
rOrized residents of Pleasant Hill so
that they were afraid to leave home
at night. After being chased by
numerous armed posses this beast
was killed by Harrison Walker, a
colored hunter.
Now Edward Smith, farmer of
Driver, says that strange being Wis
tied his premises and killed seven
dogs, two of which were eaten, while
the other five were mutilated. An
other dog took refuge under a barn,
and Smith, hearing the dogs yells,
went out with pistol. The mon
ster sprang upon him. Smith fell,
and the beast tore his clothing to
shreds. He finally beat it off, but
the revolver, being corroded, would
not fire.
Whit Walker, of the same neigh
borhood, says the animal visited his
home, too. From Smiths descrip-
ton the animal is larger than a
wolf, with shaggy, yellow hair, long
head and sunken eyes. 1t is gaunt
and vicious.
People are wondering what will
next come from the unexplored
swamp made famous by Tom Moore's
verses. The more superstitious re-
gard the visitation as supernatural,
and families are having much trouble
with their servants.

Careful tests and observations made
at the Yale psychological laboratory
have demonstrated the Importance of
studying individual temperament be-
fore prescribing a system of physical
exercise. A nervous temperament, for
example, requires different treatment
from that required by phlegmatic
temperament, without regard to the
physical condition of the subject.
The mental factors are more neces.
sary than the muscular in the develop
ment of strength. A nervous person
should never be required to take heavy
exercise. A phlegmatic person, on the
contrary, requires it. The phlegmatic
temperament indicates reserve energy
in both muscles and nerve cells, while
the nervous temperament has less re-
serye power, but greater ability to use
