a convenient and strong limb just beyond
your reach and jump for and get firm
hold on 1t. Then keeping the feet straight
toward the ground, try to raise up the body
by the power of the hands and place the
chin over the limb. In like manner raise
the body until the limb is in the middle of
the abdomen.
After these exercises have been executed
until WEAKNESS results. spring to the ground
on the toes and with the knees bent. When
you are rested recover the limb with the
hands, and this time practice drawing up

FISHERMAN'S LUCK.
Whims Exhibited by Perch and Pick
erel in a Sullivan County Lake.

From the New York Sun.
1.-THE unaccountable things that fish do,
whether 1t is within suspicion that
prompts them, unending source of
wonder to the observant angler" said one
of that guild.
with a companion, young man who
had never fished for either perch or pick
erel in his life before, I once went to a we'll
known pickerel water in Sullivan county.
1t in midsummer. and we still-fshed
with live minnows. from one side Of the
boat and my companion from the other
side.
There are perch in that water, and big
ones. The fish bit fairly well, but while
my fellow fisherman caught pickerel. not a
thing but perch would come to my hook.
This peculiar division of catch showing
no sign of changing, we changed places in
the boat. as 1 wanted to land pickerel
two before We quit, and didn't see any way
to do it except by fishing at the spot where
they seemed alone to be. You may imagine
my amazement, then, when the first fish I
caught was perch and my companion still
caught pickerel.
after he had caught three big ones and
had landed half dozen perch / suggested
that we exchange rods, and if that
would make any difference. To my joy
soon hooked and got into the boat the big
gest pickerel that had been taken all day.
and my companion surprised himself by
catching his first perch.
Il can't understand it, I said but your
tackle seems to suit the pickerel better than
mine, and mine seems to be the choice of
the perch, although there is not the slight
est difference between rods, lines, hooks or
bait
But that wasn't what allied the fish at
all, as soon found out, for instead of now
having my expected sport with pickerel, not
another one gave me even much
nibble, and the perch ignored my compan-
ions hook although we fshed faithfully
for an hour.
Fish often quit biting thus abruptly, and
l perhaps would have put this down as an
ordinary case of this kind. Notwithstanding
the odd result of the changed rods, it, when
l handed my friend his rod and told him
we might as well reel in and go home. he
hadn't mechanically dropped the minnow in
on the side where the perch had been biting,
and soon had pickerel in tow! And when
1 put my bait in where only pickerel had
been biting promptly hooked and landed a
perch!
"'This'u be enough said I. Wen go
home!
"And we pulled up and went home"

QUAINT FRENCH VILLAGE.
Quiet and Peaceful Place Half an Hour
From Paris.
From the London Telegraph.

From the London Telegraph.
It seems hardly credible that not more
than thirty minutes from all the noise
and hustle of Paris there lies a village
that is so quiet, so peaceful and SO old
fashioned that one would imagine oneself
at least one hundred miles away from
the gay capital Here at this village, La
Frette by name. and about fifteen min
utes' walk from Cormeilles, preparations
for midday and evening repasts have to
be made very early in the morning, for
no such thing as a good shop is anywhere
near. and the walk to Cormeilles Is one
which one considers twice before taking
for 1t Is up steep and rough roads. So
daily, butcher, baker and green grocer
pass this quaint little place. and the vii
layers gather round the various trades
men and make their purchases for the
day.
They also buy their clothes In this way,
and may often be seen trying on bon
nets, dresses and boots in the middle Of
the street. From a scenic point of view,
all artists have agreed that there is no
place to equal La Frette between Paris
and Havre. To the left of the village Is
the park of Maisons Laffite. and facing
the park is Sartrouville, while opposite
lies the forest of St German In all its
green splendor. To the right is Herblay,
quite important place, whose church
is visible for miles along the Seine. La
F'rette itself has the quaintest villagers
possible. Many of them speak worse
French than those of the Midi, and it is
event indeed when one takes a jour-
ney up to the capital. They are thriftiest
of the thrifty. Only a short time ago
one of the peasants gave his daughter no
less sum than quarter of a million Of
francs on her wedding day and another is
to receive the same amount on her ap-
preaching marriage. And yet this man,
who must be worth four or five millions
of francs at least, lives in a patched-up old
house and digs in the fields from early
morning till late at night.

into undeserved oblivion. John Metcalfe
was blind from the age of six years until
he died. Yet as q, boy and man he in
variably displayed high-spirited courage.
He was a true sportsman, a fine swimmer.
and a hard rider to hounds. 1t was his
solitary walk from London to Harrogato
by way unknown to him that first turned
his attention to roadmaking. The roads in
those days were very bad. He obtained
authority from parliament to improve this
state Of things when he was so years old
In Yorkshire, Lancashire, Cheshire and

The proposition to base representa- ton
In the republican national convention on
the republican vote cast, made its ap-
pearance In the committee again last week
and as usual was sidetracked. The ques-
ton Of fair representation has been a live
one in republican conventions ever since
1892. when the votes from the south, from
which no republican electoral Votes are
received, dictated the nomination. The
matter has been up i'll one form or an
other, in connection with every convention
held since that time. -Four years ago MT.
Payne, postmaster general, supported the
proposition. It was laid aside again for
reasons of policy. 1t is 1nanifestly@4 un
fair that solid south democratic states
should exercise the influence they do in
republican conventions, while unable tic
contribute anything to republican resillts
This rule has resulted in one defeat fol

suit in more if adhered to.
