FISHING IN FORMosA.
yAstf Rods Superb, but Thelr Hosll
I Are without Barbs. : az

eAsir Rods superb, bat TAelr HeslEs
IT,, Are without Barbs. %f1
Three Of us, two Americans and one
japanese, started out in jinrikishas
from Taipeh, the modern capital Of
fcrmosa, or Taiwan, to 60 to the house
q Z wealthy gentleman about eight
miles up the river which runs through
the valley Of Taipeh. Tie way led
through = beautiful and fertile country,
the valley covered with the second crop
At rice and the hills with the famous
tormosa tea shrub. After: luncheon
and after photographing some head
hunting savages we found there we
proposed to fish for salmon trout at an
altitude less than $50 feet above sea
kvel and In latitude about "a degrees
- minutes north, practically in the
tropics. The temperature Of theystream
vas about 70 degrees or higher, and the
water was well aerated. This stream,
from 60 to 100 yards wide, Is clear aud
full OF rapids and rifles. .5
n We used Japanese tackle horsehair
line and horsehair leader, the latter
consisting of one strand only; a bamboo
rod and most delicate palmer tied on
. small barbless hook. The rod is de.
<ddedly good and, weight for weight,
y stronger and better caster than
our jointed rod. It rarely weighs over
four ounces (mine weighed about two,
but the line is practically worthless for
casting as we understand the term.
The ny is perfect, but the hook lacks
strength, and the fish when hooked
may easily detach himself in a current
or an eddy or by fouling the line. We
Ill know how it is done from our expe-
r1ence with pin hook and thread in
the brooks at home.
:" The Japanese, however, have another
method Of fishing which may be as new
to some Of our readers as it was to me.
It is quite successful. They catch one
dsh in any way they can and then
fasten the line securely through its
upper jaw, passing it through the roof
81 the mouth and out at the top of the
upper jaw well in front of the eyes
and then attach through the body OF
the fish not far in front of the tail
horsehair to which is tied a three
pronged barbless hook, which trails in
line with the fish and a few inches be-
hind, while it is slowly worked up the
stream by the fisherman. The theory
- that other fishes, seeing the captive
moving along as though feeding or per-
haps spawning, will pursue it and be.
come impaled on the hooks. In point
Of fact that does happen, as l saw a
Chinaman take two fine trout in this
manner
Our success with the flies was poor.
We got thirteen or fourteen fngerlings.
but we saw the fish we wished to iien.
. tdfy caught in fairly good numbers by
the Chinese fishing with decoys.~For.

Will Import Quail.

Will Import Quail. !
Game Warden Hale expects to be
able by spring to have several colonies
Of quail established In North Dakota.
He has for some time been in CORE
spondence with parties in Wisconsin
with q view to securing several dozei.
birds, and has been informed that they
can be obtained without any difaculty.
Naturally these birds must be shipped
through the state 81 Minnesota, and
the laws Of that state appear to make
no provision for the transportation
though they are intended to promote
the incease Of game generally Mr..
Hale has written to Game Warden
Fullerton Of Minnesota, asking II an
arrangement could be made for tie
transportation Of the bids, and yes
terday he received reply stating that
not only would the birds not be mo-
Tested in transit, but that the commits
sion would see that they were prop
erly led while In st. Paul. -,
There are several omissions in the
North Dakota laws on similar points.
One Of these is that no provision Is
made for the payment Of expenses OF
this kind. During the past year the
state has received from the once Of
the game warden in the northern dis
trict about $1,000 above all expenses.
That money goes into the general fund
Of the state, and cannot be touched
for purposes Of game propagation. In
the quail case the expenses win be
borne by few Of the sportsmen Of
the state chipping in, while the state
gets the thousand dollars to spend Tor
other purposes. e.. ss~<+jF

and this has been to the great ad-

WHEN THE KIDNEYS
 STOP WORK.
The Point Where the Kidneys Cease to Do Their Duty Properly is the
 Beginning of B'ight's Disease,
This Stage Of the Disease Leaves the Victim Only Fighting
 Chance for Life.

When the 1iver becomes torpid it throws upon the kidueys extfa work in ! keeping the b14y free from impurities. This extra work they will perform for a time without serious disturbance. for they are tough organs, but at last the strain becomes too heavy, they are weakened and disoraered, and uniess the liver is promptly stimulated 5bev break down and tle more serious traull, aegins. When this stage is reached the valuable liver regulating and lidaev strengthening properties of Pr;cklg Ash Bitters are badly needed. l. i5 s5fe 10 say that no one would ever die of Brjeht's 5 Disease If he would apply this remedy at this critical time. Unfortunately, however, the kidneys do not at first manifest any decided symptoms. The victim Is conscious that something Is wrong, but fails to apply remedy for t, so he struggles on until the disease some day prostratos him completely, meanwhile the deadly worl, of dcstruc- ton goes OH steadily i'll his vital organs. The kidneys being weakened and pow erless are no longer aale to extract the urea and uric acid from the blood, so it goes back into the system and gradually decays changing to uric aeld poison which extends its malignant influence to every part of thc body. Thcalbumen which should nourish thc system passes unarrested through theliyer and kidnevs and escape with the urine, 70 the pa- tlent's strength fails for want of food. At this point thc disease takes on a decided character, dropsy sets in and the signs of uracmie poisoning rapidly appear. The importance Of checking the ravages of tAe disease al thc earliest possible moment e3aaot be over-esti- mated. When tac trouble is confined to the liver 1t is bad enough, bet when the kidncys break down 1t at once becomes life and death struggle wlsh the cer- tainty that death will win the race unless nature is helped in jts effort 10 restore health.

THE doctor is a noted specialist. and
L patients wait a good while in his ante

together. In this way it happened that a
little girl with a small. shrewd face remarked
to a fellow patient. quite informally:
Il came here to get my tonsils treated"
Indeed" said the woman thus addressed,
with an air of remote interest.
Yes, I'm here for the tonsils and throat.

"Oh. yes I could But l hope I won't"

child, gravely surveying her. l never saw

\ discouraging silence followed this re-
mark, and a slight flush stole over the woman's
