Trout Season,

The brook trout season in Pennsyl-
vania opens next Tuesday, April I {.
If the weather keeps chilly and dis
agreeable between now and then the
prospects for some good catches the
first OF the season are fair. Open
and warm spring weather before the
season lawfully begins is always haru
on the trout. In the mountain dis
tricts poachers fish according to the
weather and not in keeping with the
game laws OF the State. So far this
year there has not been much oppor-
tunlty to fish IN the mountain dis
tricts. With the exception of three
or four days in March the weather
has been severe since the first of the
year, the streams being frozen over
much of the time, or the weather so
dlsagreeable that trout fishing, no
matter how alluring, could not be re-
lIshed.
The trout season closes July II.
The statutes of the state provide that
one who goes hunting or fishing on
Sunday is subject to fine OF $2s
with no reduction on account of poor
luck. There is likewise fine of $40
for catching, killing, or having in
possession after dead" any trout less
than SIX inches long, and for taking
trout from stream that has been
stocked by the fish commissioners
within three years, provided notice of
stocking the stream has been given in
the newspapers. The old law placed
the limit on trout at five inches and
black bass, which now must be seven
inches long, at six inches. The black
bass season opens on June rs under
the new law and closes on February {.
HIGH PRESSURE DAYs.-Men and women
alike have to work incessantly with brain
and hand to hold their own nowadays.
| Never were the demands of business, the
wants of the family, the requirements OF
society, more numerous. The first effect of
| the praiseworthy effort to keep up with all
| these things is commonly seen in weaken.
! ed or debiitated condition of the nervous
system, which results in dyspepsia, defec-
tive nutrition of both body and brain, and in
extreme cases in complete nervous prostra.

| is what will sustain the system, give vigcr
| and tone to the nerves, and keep the diges.

purpose. 1t acts on all the vital organs,

NELSON SoMERvILLE RULlsoN, d. D.
| Was born IN Carthage, N. Y. April
"a, 1S42. He was educated at

He was consecrated to that Office,
Oct aS, 1884, and on the death of
Bishop Howe, July 81, I59s, became
the Bishop by succession. Although
young and comparatively vigorous
man, the labor overtaxed his powers,
and he was obliged to seek an entire
change of scene, in the hope of re-
covering his former health. But the
relaxation from duty came too late
He died at Mannheim, Germany, Sept.
I, 1897.

Dot was fixed to be on Feby. 2, 1893, |

monies, the Rt. Rev. DR.. Satterlee,
Bishop of Washington, preached an
eloquent sermon in memoriam of
Bishop Rulson. In the evening from
8 to 10 o'clock, the Bishop elect was

gout, neuralgia, periodic headache, lumba-

habit puts its marks on them, as the custom
OF handling ropes crooks sailors fingers ;

SUCCESS IN FAILURE.

what is failure? Nothing but edu-
cation; nothing but the first steps to
something better" It is evil only
when it turns us aside from duty; and
ever then the evil is found not in the
mistake or failure, but in yielding
to it.
A young art student, who had just
finished a picture, declared, with tears
in her eyes, that it was "another awful
failure! Just then the instructor,
seeing what she had done, took a brush
and palette, and put a few quick
strokes Of light here and there; and
10 the Failure" was a thing of beauty.
The young m learned to put the
finishing touches to her own "fail-
ures," and they won prize after prize.
There are many failures which are
but unfinished successes. Wherever
you go, men will tell you that their
greatest achievements are the golden
crowns, built by perseverance, on pyra-
mids of seeming Naturalization

WHEN THE PROPHET WAS WITH HONOR

Some years ago an erratic minister
travelled through Georgia preaching
the destruction of the world on the
eighth day of October of that year.
Finding that the white people only
laughed at him, he turned to preach
ing to the negroes, SO working upon
their credulous emotions that nearly
a hundred of them prepared to go to
glory in a body On the night of the
eighth of October. Having appointed
an old negro named Cyrus Scott to
teach them the necessary repentance,
the preacher moved on to warn Others.
Now, Cyrus was very familiar with
the failings of his flock, and he frank
ly prophesied that nothing but eternal
condemnation awaited them On the fa-
tai night, now fast approaching By
preaching wrath to come he had his
congregation hysterical when the
night of the eighth of October ar
rived. Clad in white cotton robes,
they took up their position on the top
of a grassy knoll, and waited for the
heavens to open. All about them
waved the tall broom sedge, dry as
finder. Here they waited until mid
night, moaning and sobbing, but no
Judgment began. One o'clock, and the
skies were still dark. Worn by toll and
spent by their emotions, they fell fast
asleep in the soft grass. Even Cyrus
slept.
Then it was that some white boys set
fire to the grass in a circle all about
the knoll. The flames came up the hill
with a roar that suddenly awakened
the sleeping Cyrus. He sprang to his
feet, bewildered. All around him
flames cracked and dense clouds of
smoke rolled up. The night was bright
with the glare of the fire. Cyrus
waved his arms wildly.
"What did I tell you! What did I
tell you'll" he yelled. "The Judgment
Days done come! Here we are! Here
we are! Plumb in the middle of the
Pit."-Lippincott's Magazine.
