Good News for AnqIers.

A new type of fishhook. the inven.
ton of E. Hindon Hyde of New York,
shows how even the simplest thing
of common life can be readily i'm
proved. The improvement consists
in transferring the barb of the hook
from the inside of the point. that is,
between the point and the shank, to
the opposite side of the point. so that
it lies on the outside of the hook.
The advantage Of the new hook is
that it renders it much more difficult
for a hooked fish to release himself
upon a slack line. This is due to the
fact that the new location Of the barb
creates a bar to the extraction of the
hook after it has penetrated. and also
to the fact that the barb, instead OF
playing against the soft mucus mem.
brane of the mouth to prevent release
as in the old style of hook, presses

AN IMPRISONED CAT.
IA New York City, Freed by a Cow
BOYS Lariat,


After nearly two years imprison-
tment between brick walls four stories
l.sh and only little more than three
inches apart, cat has been rescued
by means of lariat. The feline
dropped into the crevice when it was
only n few weeks old and has been
there ever since-fed and cared for by
Families residing in the buildings.
The prison which 1t occupied so
long is between two buildings in East
Fourth street. The crevice is closed
front and back, and even closed partly
ON the top by tin roofing.
Efforts which the kitten made again
and again during the early days of it's
Imprisonment to climb up these slip
perry walls. only to fall back, were
watched with sympathy by the neigh
bors and they became divided into fac
dOns-those who thought that the kit
ten ought to be killed and relieved of
IFS misery, and those who held that
while there was life there was hope.
The latter fed the cat and gave it
water by means Of long string. Dis
.contented neighbors many times threw
d chunks of poisoned liver. but the
animal never touched it. Meanwhile
the cat grew and every effort was
made to release it. but without sue
cess
A few days ago the story became
generally known and came to the no
tice of an ex-cowboy who, with an old
Iariat, soon dragged the cat from its
prison, thus removing a source of
much worry to the Society for Preveu-
tlOn OF Cruelty to Animals.

him for moment, but the next he
