ONLY A RIVER VAlTEFlsH.
Story of Man Who Knew Fish When He Saw Them, Also Rail-
 road "Ad."

William c. Harris, angling ed itor of Outing, and rightly called the Izaak Walton of America, is man who can come pretty near to telling exactly what iish you will find in Blank brook, in Blank township of Blank county, Idaho, Texas or Rhode Island. New fish es and new facts about them, he loves as a miser loves gold, only he does not hoard them, but gath CTS them to give out again.
 One day Harris chanced to be in St. Paul. He was talking with General Passenger Agent Charley Fee, who said Harris should go to Montana to catch grayling in d stream at that time much adver- tised.
 Harris said there were no gray ling in the stream. The railroad man laughed at him as New Yorker who pretended to know more about certain Montana river than a man who had fished it.
 The dispute waxed warm. Har- ris was due in New York on certain day, and by taking the first train west he could have six hours
  on the stream and still keep his en- gagement. In 36 hours he was on the stream with a local represen tative of the railroad. He waded in, made one cast, and was fast to a silvery thing that tore about nightly like that of a grayling. It came to the net, and the local representative of the railroad fairly shouted:
 sThere, there; it's grayling"
 "Pack this carefully in moss" said Harris. "Send it to your gen eral passenger agent" Then he walked to the telegraph office and wired that official
 "Am sending one of your gray ling. It's an internal old river whitefsh."
 Then he took the train for New York and kept his engagement.

German aSundav SchooIs.v

In England the term Sunday school' has a definite meaning, and is exclusively used to denote a place of religious teaching. Ill Germany, however, the race for commercial supremacy has led to the establishment of Sunday schools at which mechanics are given practical instruction in their trades. There is, for exam pie, a school for masons, at which the students, many of them me chanics who work during the week, spend several hours on Sun day morning in learning the high CT branches of their craft. Sim ilarly there are Sunday schools for tailors, ironmongers, bookbind- CTS, and followers of other trades even barbers and blacksmiths.

THE CATCHING OF CRABS.
Some Facts About the Chesapeake soft-Sheu and His Captors-
 A Summer Industry.

The Chesapeake soft-shell crab is a delicacy and luxury in every market between the Atlantic and Denver; and he grows more and more popular as season follows season.
 The season of the soft-shell crab is from the early days of May to the late days of September, and it's chief or best cultivated and most patronized habitat is the shallow and warm hooks, sounds and inlets of Chesapeake bay. Here it swarms like ants in a hill, like bees in posy garden, like prairie dogs in q rodent town. Jersey waters producesome crabs; but the Chesapeake crabbers supply the market; and they make money by doing it.
 The grabbing fleet numbers per haps 1,50O boats - little crafts they are, usually with tiny cabin; manned by two or more men. Not less than 800 of these boats sail from the little village of Crisfeld, Md, alone.
 Tha crabs are caught by trailing along the bottom of the shallow waters, through the sea grass and sea weed, a light cage of iron, a sort of skeleton and coop, called by the crabbers a drag. 1t is drawn up frequently; empty but seldom. The take is from 200 crabs day at the opening of the season to 1000 crabs a day in mid season, to each boat worked by two men.
 The crabs are graded by size, crated and shipped to market.
 Hard-shell crabs are taken to the "crab yard" where they are detained imprisoned in frames, and examined daily to see if they have shed their hard shells. Such as have are taken out and packed for transportation to market. The captive may shed his shell in a day or two or he may wear it for month.

MARSHAL STEPHENS
 SHOT RICHARDSON.
Act Was Done in Self Defense as Latter Resisted Arrest and Sought to Grab Revolver
 From the Officer.

V. G. Richardson of Alicia was arrested Tuesday afternoon about 5 o'clock, by Marshal T. s. Ste phens and Constable R. M. Laird, in front of the Newport Builders Supply and Hardware Company. Richardson had been stopping negroes on Front street and fore ing them to turn back into their own quarters, when complaint was made to Constable Laird, who called upon MT. Stephens for help in making the arrest, as Richardson has the reputation of being scrapper.
 Richardson was taken to the hose house by the two officers. assisted by Deputy Baird, but here he offered resistance and tried to take away from Mr. Ste phens the revolver which had been found upon This (Richard- son's) person.
 MT. Stephens says the gun was first accidentally discharged in the scufie, the shot striking the walk. MT. Stephens then man. aged to secure the gun, though 1t was still in the hands of Rich ardson, and fired, the bullet en- tering Richandson's right thigh at a point near the second sus- bender button and ranging down ward.
 Bystanders who witnessed the affray, assert that Marshal Ste phens was compelled to shoot in self defense.
 Richardson was carried to Cooks hotel, where he is resting easy. His wound was promptly attended to by surgeonA and is not thought to be of a dangerous nature.
 Public sentiment is atssuch a high tension just at presebt, that difficulties which result inl blood shed and loss of life are eaused by what at other times wduld be very trivial occurrences.

A MAN AND HIS SHOES.
The Thicker the Soles He Wears the Larger the City from Which
 He Halls.

"You can almost tell from what country a man comes by the weight of his shoes" said J. w. Davy, of Chicago, who represents a shoe company, to Milwaukee Sentinel reporter. You might not believe it." he continued, "but the thicker the soles of his shoes the larger the city from which he comes. In New York it is almost a fad, and the soles of the shoes there are exceedingly heavy. They are almost as heavy in Chica- go. Men there wear shoes to pro- tect their feet. They have not time enough, it seems, to bother with rubbers. So they make one pair of shoes do the work for all kinds of weather. Here in Mil waukee and in other cities of this size, I notice, the men wear light shoes and rubbers. 1 suppose they have time enough to wear the overshoes. Up in the country l find that in many places leather boots are not worn at all for sev- eral of the winter months. They wear heavy socks and then put rubber overshoes over these"

Queer Speculation.

The sermon of a British vicar charging great immortality in the pottery towns in Staffordshire has caused discussion of life in the potteries. A curious feature is speculation on the lives of others. The business of the insurance com. panies there is largely directed to persuading people to insure the lives of others as a speculation. Wives are urged to insure their husbands, and sons and daughters to take out policy on their parents lives. For a penny a week a girl insures her father for f5. No medical examination is re. quired, and it is simply a gamble on death. This was amusingly shown by recent case. A doctor in one of the pottery towns was reported to be dying of cancer. The rumor was false, and the doc tor, completely recovered of his illness, was surprised to learn that his charwoman had staked twopence a week on his death.

HEAVY LOSS AT

Many Head of Stock Drowned :
 Operator Driven Away.

Poplar Bluff, Mo, March 29. It is feared that the loss of stock from the rise and overflow of Black river will be enormous. The river is six miles wide and thousands of acres of bottom lands used for pasturing stock are under water. The entire east side of the city is under from two to ten feet of water and many residents have been forced to abandon their homes. No lives have been lost, but there have been many narrow escapes.
 At Williamsville the water has driven the inhabitants from the village. The railroad telegraph operator wired:
