Heroism in Persistence.

Philadelphia Ledger: The teach
inGs of recent years by certain elo-
Quent and clear-sighted speakers and
writer's TO the effect that the sublimest
heroisn may be practiced in the hum
blest paths of life in the hardest and
most forbidding circumstances, and
that the ordinary Vocations-the mere
support of a family and the perform
ance of simple duties in a quiet way
may be in truth. under some condi
lions, the height of heroism, are very
heartening and salutary in their re-
suits. Heroism does not require for it's
exercise striking field or unusal con-
ditions, but may be displayed any
where. We have our heroes of peace"
and if any one quality is conspicuous
as the mark of this kind of heroism it
Is the resolution and the persistence
which, in the pursuit of high and
worthy objects, cannot be checked.
Great works are performed, it has been
said. not by strength but by persever-
ance; but this very perseverance is a
kind of strength which distinguishes
.he weak from the strong.

Fishing for the Pike Family.

Illust,rted Sporting News: Many
fishermen delight in fishing for mem
bers ofS1e pike family and there are.
/ no fishes hhat live in the waters of the
world abtp7t which SO much confusion
exists among fishermen as to their
proper names and classification; the
former almost rival those of the "gog-
glehog' in extent and perpleSity to the
layman. 1t would take several mag
azine pages to make this matter clear
in detail to the mind of the average
fisherman, hence suffice it now to say
that when the pike is named the fish
with lightish spots, generally yellow,
on dark background is designated;
when the pickerel is referred to it must
be taken as one with irregular cross
bars or reticulation on the body. and
when the mascalonge is named it is the
largest Of the family with dark spots
on light background. If the angler
will bear this difference always and
clearly in mind, he will not be con-
FUSED when ne gets westward and
hears the misnomer of "pickerel' for
the true pike, and pike" for the pike
perch or wall-eyed pike. Nor when
he gets across the Canadian border to
meet with the last-named fish under
the name of dore and in some of the
provinces to find it bearing the name
of "pickerei," as it does among the
market fishermen of the Michigan
shores of Lake Huron. To render con-
fusion worse COMPOUNDED, the name of
the mascalonge is spelled and pro-
nounced in SO many different ways
that the identity of it is almost lost in
the maze of nomenclature and ortho
graphy that enfolds it.
Trolling is the usual method followed
for securing all the fishes of the pike
family, of which there are five: the
three fishes above mentioned and two
small pickerel, one living exclusively
west of the Alleghenies and the other
solely east of the same range; neither
of which, however, grows above a
pound or exceeds twelve inches in
length. The troll is near the surface,
as a rule, and midwater and bottom
trolling is frequently very successful
The latter method is done by having
your boatman row slowly and feeling
the bottom with a heavy sinker, three
feet above which a three or more feet
of gut leader is attached, and to the
end of that the bait, live minnow or
a free spinning spoon. Still, fishing
for pike when you know their haunts
is, I think. the most delightful way of
hOa ting them

COUNT sAsARTS VISIT


A couple Of weeks later Lady Bysshe

lighted both.

the patient unable to bear the strong
sea air and the eternal noises OF this,
the chief commercial city Of Italy; and
assuring her that she must have an
atmosphere more soothing, place
where she could have perfect quiet, he
recommended the Old-world town of
Pisa as best suited to her condition.
Accordingly they went to Pisa, a de-
serted town peacefully sleeping in the
sun; the Arno. undisturbed by traffic
flowing placidly between the gray
stones Of its grass grown quays and
under the crumbling bridges connecting
them.
AT first they feared its s!umberous
aspect its silence broken only by mill
tary bugles, the eternal marching Of
conscripts to and from their drill, and
the ringing of melancholy church bells,
would be unedurable; but by degrees
the fascination of this peaceful Tuscan
town grew upon them; and as there
was no doubt that Edith found 1t rest
fui TO her nerves. they resolved to stay
some time.
Neither OF them liked hotels and
both desiring to rent suite of rooms

buildings that seem like tho scenes of

an elderly manservant, who with grave

HIS FOUR UMBRELLAS.
They Excited Suspicion in the Mind of


Lady in the Car.
Boston Commercial Bulletin: There
is an umbrella story going the rounds
Of State street that may interest wide
circle. A certain brokers' wife one
morning not long since gave him four
OF the family umbrellas neatly tied in
bundle to take down town for re-
pairs and that he might not forget to
bring them home tied bit OF string
in his button hole. Mr.. a. got the
umbrellas to the repair shop all right,
and then forgot all about them.
In the course of the busy day he
had occasion to go to the office Of
leading lawyer, and OH coming out from
the conference noticed an umbrella
leaning against the wall, which he
promptly annexed and proceeded to
carry out of the office, but was stopped
in mid career by an indignant woman,
who claimed the umbrella as her prop
erty. Mr.. A. was quite as firm In in
sisting that he had brought it in, and
pointed triumphantly to the bit OF
string in his button hole as prima facie
evidence. This was not convincing to
the lady, and after a wordy argument
Mr.. A. gave up the umbrella in disgust,
only hoping she didn't think he'd steal
an umbrella
That night on leaving the office he
remembered the family umbrellas in
the repair shop and FASTENED to get
them. The umbrellas secured he board
ed a car at Park street and sat down.
as he discovered to his horror, directly
opposite the lady of the umbrella
who was looking at him and his four
umbrellas in way that made his flesh
creep. There was no escape until the
next station anyway, and he tried to
turn his attention to his paper and
ignore the lady. That lady stood it as
long as she could; then leaning toward
the crimson hued broker, she said in a
| loud and sarcastic tone Of voice. with a
whitening look at the umbrellas: II
see you've had a very successful day
after all!'

His excellency the Count sasari."


She left he" card with the address of
her hotel. and, as the suite was ready
for occupation, said she would take
possession next day.
AS they walked along the silent
quays she said, The name Sasari
sounds famiiiarly, yet can't associate
any memory with it; perhaps l have

II dare say this Count Sasari would
enjoy himself far more in a succeed

1T all depends on the Kind of man he
is" Edith replied.
His name haunts me. Where have
I heard it before?" Lady Bysshe asked
once more, but her memory failed to
tell her.
Her inquiry was answered when a
day or two subsequently Count SaSari
called on her in her new quarters.
AS his name was announced she rose
from the letter she had been writing

stout man, with a clear complexion
and handsome features, bowling With a
dignity and grace that at once attract

The Irish Writers.

C. K. Shorter in the Sketch: Mr..
Krans, in the account Of the Irish lit
erary effort, is enabled to enumerate no
fewer than forty writer's of today who
are all distinctive forces in the move
ment. Lady Gregory only names about
twelve, including George Moore, whom
no one but Lady Gregory and her
friend Mr.. Yeats would seriously iden-
tify with the movement. She does re-
fer to Sir Charles Gavan Duffy, indeed,
but merely as helping" Mr.. Yeats to
arrange the new Irish library. This
would be comic reversal of the facts
were IT not also pathetic that log roll
ing should go so far. That veteran
statesman, Sir Charles Gavan Duffy
was, of course, the author of the prof.
ect of an Irish library, and he had
helped to advance the cause of an Irish
literary movement years before Mr..
Yeats was born.
Mr.. Yeats is wellnigh the beginning
of the end Of the Irish literary move

must be admitted that she has con-
