which is worn allows the ladies a
delightful sense of freedom while

the garden is kept as secluded as
possible. Surrounded by high walls,
it is situated in a quiet locality just

A NEW KIND OF BERRY.
One That LIS New to the Credu1Ous
and COnfiding Only, and
Fraud.

The newest thing in small fruits is
the ''Arctic' berry. In parts of the
west enterprising agents have been
going about among the farmers exhib-
iting notwithstanding berries pre-
served in alcohol. They are about
three times the size of strawberry
and with the color of an orange.
Very delicious" says the agent,
who claims that it is brand-new fruit
of extraordinary merit. He explains
that it was obtained by crossing the
strawberry and the wild cherry, the
huckleberry and various other berries.
In response to orders he is willing to
deliver limited number of plants.
Naturally, says the Detroit Free
Press, orders in plenty have been
forthcoming. But it turns out on in
vestigation that the new and won
derful berry is nothing more nor less
than the white mulberry, long ia
miliar and not greatly esteemed. In
other words, the whole business is a
fraud, and the evaporation of the vic
TINS is rendered more intense by the
fact that all the plants, which they
had set out so carefully, are killed by
the first frost.

MUSIC OF THE CUBANS.
1t LIS Even Worse Than the Horrible
Noises Made by the, AL
germans.

Cubans show a semi-savage prefer
ence for such music as is made by
band composed of stamp-mill
sort of crank piano, pair of sugar
kettle tom-toms and a man with a
horse-radish crater called a "giro"
and a fat file with which to scrape it
the combined outfit producing a dis
ccrdant potpourri that might easily
dislocate the teeth of any self-respect-
ing handsaw, says the Detroit Free
Press. This example of music as the
Cubans fancy it is even worse than
the fnger-drumming and wire-snap-
ping musical murders committed in
Tunisian bazars and Algerian cafes
chantantes. The lauded but lugubri-
Gus Cuban national hymn is best es-
teemed when performed by one of
these bands of inharmonic banditti,
and the national dance, that monoton-
Gus combination of motions that sug-
gests that the dancer is trying to shoe
a flea off the small of his back and
also go easy on a stone bruised heel,
can only be adequately performed to
the music of these African agitators of
cat-gut, raw-hide and perforated tin
The TRUTH is the. Cubans will have to-
learn music all over again.

NET-FISHING IN THE LAKES.
How the Fresh Water Fish Are Cap
tured for the Markets of
the Country.

Practically all commercial fishing in
fresh waters is carried on, by the use
OF nets, whether a rowboat or an up
to-date tug is. employed. The gill net is
the handiest and is much used in Lake
Erie. This forms fence ON the bottom
of the lake about six feet high and any,
where from 500 feet to several miles
long. These nets are made Of thin cord
and can be slowed away in very small
compass, says the Buffalo Express. A
fish will swim against the fence of net
ting, get it's head caught in the mesh,
and will stay there until taken, out by
the fishermen. The nets, are kept, in
position in the water by lead sinkers
on the bottom and cork hobs on top.
The entire net is also anchored secure
ly, while the spot is marked by buoy.
Call nets often come in sections 300
feet Long, and are fastened together in
gangs. Fishing tugs often set a gang.
that is over four miles long. Each boat
is equipped with two gangs.
Pound nets, whose use in New York
waters is prohibited, are used in Ohio
o'iAu SoAlouidH WoCeIS. Iuey form large
receptacles in the water into which
fish find their way and are prevented
from getting out by a tTap-like ar
rangementatt the entrance. Game fish
are often caught in pound nets. Then
there are also smaller trap nets, fyke
nets, and many other varieties, some
of which are peculiar to different To-
calities.
Some commercial fishing is carried
on by the use of set linesfor surgeons,
ETC., but such means are not extern
sively employed.

MEXICO MAKING STRIDES.
Our Southwestern Neighbor Is Rap
Idly Taking On the Briskness
of America.

DIR. Charles Amezcua, of the City of
Mexico, who is a gentleman of scien-
tifc attachments, told a Washington
reporter how much impressed he was
with the beauty of Washington and
with the surprising beauty of its au-
tumnal days.
There is one thing" said he, 'Ethat
probably great many of your readers
do not know, and that is how rapidly
the republic of Mexico is becoming
Americanized. Our people know of the
tremendous progress Of our great sis
ter across the Rio Grande, and while
they realize that there is yet an enor-
nous gulf that separates the one from
the other, still the United States is an
inspiration and an incentive. We re-
joice in seeing the United States take
precedence of the old-world monarch
les, and do not doubt it will eclipse
them all.
"'With such an object lesson before
us 1t is no wonder that Mexico is like
wise making rapid strides along the
road that leads to. national greatness.
The country is awake, wide awake, and
everybody seems imbued with the idea
Of a glorious destiny. We are praying,
also, that Gen. Diaz may have his life
prolonged for at least ten more years,
because he is really the one great fac
tor in our advancement, and as long as
he lives no one fears but that all will
go well with our country"

CHAMPION SNAKE HUNTER.
"A Frenchman Who Was Credited
with killing 10000 Venomous
Reptiles.

1t is not well known that certain
parts of France are infested with
poisonous serpents, against which
warfare is waged by state-paid SER
pent hunters. They are killed in
thousands, and the price per head
is 21Rd. There was some time ago
famous serpent killer in the forests
of southampton, John Milly, who in
~ years of hunting killed more than
$4,000 vipers, says the London Tat
tier. A Frenchman named Courtoi,
who hunted in the Loire district, can
be compared to Milly, as he was
credited with having killed 10000 VEN
omous reptiles. His only weapons
were one or two massive sticks. AS
soon as he saw the serpent he adj
vanced and hit it violently, either
killing or stunning it; with the sec
ond stick he pinned it to earth and
cut off the head with a huge pair
of scissors. But along with these
simple weapons Courtol possessed a
thorough knowledge of the habit of
serpents. He knew when and where
to find them. In two days near Puy-
a-Clermont he killed 23O of them, and
not only did he kill the poisonous
creatures, but he would capture them
living when desired.

driven off till daybreak. The secre-

nothing of the fight, and the next day,
when he at last awoke, he looked
around in establishment and asked:

RENTING STUFFED ANIMALS.
Make a Display I'm the Ho1i-
day Season.

The trade in stuffed animals gets
brisker with the approach Of the hol-
iday season. 81 don't mean by that"
said a William street taXidermist,
according to the New York Times,
that We are selling more of them.
We are not. We never do sell stuffed
beasts in herds at this time of the
year, bat our renting list swells pro-
digiously. People whose business re-
quires them to use stuffed animals and
bird as an advertisement generally
want an extra duck or dog or bear
added to their stock for month or
two preceding and following Christ
mas. A trademark of this kind of
good quality costs anywhere from SIS
to- $75 and as those that are used mere
ly as 'supers' are needed only few
months in the year, it is cheaper to
rent them than buy them outright.
Almost every merchant in town, of
high or low degree, makes an extra
splurge at this season by exhibiting a
polar bear or some. other festive ami
mai, consequently our rentals amount
to a rather nice income Some sea-
sons we do pretty thriving business
with theatrical companies, also, but
this year the drama seems to have be-
come too realistic to rely on stuffed
art for its effects, and our orders for
property fowls and quadrupeds have
been few"
