RENTING STUFFED ANIMALS.
Merchants In the City Tee Then e
Make . Display In the Holt
day season.

The trade in stuffed animals gets
brisker with the approach of the hol-
iday season. Il don't mean by that"
said q William street tsxidermist,
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, but our renting list swells pro-
aigiously. People whose business re-
quires them to use stuffed animals and
bird as an advertisement generally
want an extra duck OF dog or bear
added to their stock for a month or
two preceding and following Christ
mas. A trademark of this kind Of
good quality costs anywhere from IS
to SIS and as those that are used mere
~ as 'supers' are needed only a 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
NAL. consequently our rentals amount
to q rather nice income. Some sea-
sons we do a 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

MEXICO MAKING STRIDES.
Oar Southwestern Neighbor IL Rap
IDLY Taking On the Brhkness
Of America.

DIR. Charles Amezcua, of the City Of
Mexico, who is gentleman of scien-
tific attainments, 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, shat
probably a 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 it 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"

The entire net Is also anchored secure
ly. while the spot is marked by buoy.
0dH nets often come In sections 800
feet long. and are fastened together in
gangs. Fishing tugs often set gang
that il 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
and Canadian waters. They form large
receptacles in the water into which
fish find their way and are prevented
from getting out by trap-like ar
rangement at 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 lines for surgeons,
etc. but such means are not extern
sively employed.

tied by the bankers with being chiefly
responsible for the enormous in
crease in savings deposits during
the last year. The balances Of the
banks show millions OF dollars in
crease in savings accounts, and the
bankers say it is all due to the little
steel banks which have become a
familiar object in every household.
1t is certainly the greatest scheme
ever devised to encourage thrift and
economy, and like most OF the ideas
that are instantaneously successful,
the wonder is that it was not

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

Practically all commercial fishing in
fresh waters is carried on By-tht s,e
of nets, whether 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
pnd 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.

SCHOOL DISTRICTS.
Opinion of State Supt. Fall Rela-
tive to the New Law in
tho Townships.

The following in regard to the
election of school trustees, under
the new township school law, is the
opinion OF the superintendent of
public instruction, Hon. Delos Fall:
First, any person who desires to
be candidate for school trustee can
have ballots printed for distribution
at the annual meeting. This would
be true for each trustee, and the
voters when they come to the meet
ing could make their selection from
these ballots; or, if they did not
want any Of them, they could write
or print other ballots and deposit
them. Then, upon canvass of the
vote. it would require a majority OF
the votes cast 20 elect each trustee
