FISHING LINES.
The Very Finest Are Those Formed

The Very Finest Are Those Formed
 From SiIkworU Gut.
 Silkworm gut forms the best line for fishing purposes, partly on account Of its great tenacity and partly because it Is so transparent. Every year Suf- ficlont number of Spanish silkworm grubs are selected for this purpose. At CT they have eaten enough mulberry leaves and before they begin to spin they are thrown into vinegar for scv- eral hours. Each insect Is killed, and the substance which the grub In the natural course would have spun Into a cocoon is forcibly drawn from the dead worm into a much thicker and shorter silken thread.
 The threads are then placed in pure water for about four hours and after ward dipped for ten minutes In a so- lution of soft soap. The fine outer skin is thus lOOsened so that the work man can remove it with his hands. The threads must be dried in shady place and are often bleached with sulphur vapor until they acquire the bright appearance of spun glass,-Lon. don Telegraph.

Hideous of Creatures.
 A greely, voraclous. relentless crea' ture Is the octopus. and most torml- dable enemy even to man, for lt is easier to cut or tear oI one Of those terrible long arms with It's two rows or suck CTS than to induce thee creature tO re linuuish any prey 1t has laid hold Of.
 These suckers also enable it Co drag its body into very narrow crevices, from which scarcely any force will avail to remove it
 Like Its beautiful brother the argo- naut. 1t defles it's enemies by ejectiug ink, but the octopus Is so subtle and clever that he can vary the color Of his ink according to the color of the ground he is passing over, and, as he Is very active and darts about at lightning speed. he constantly escapes being caught
 He is an unsociable creature, appar- ently quite satisfied with his own so- clety, as he roams about alone, seeking what he may devour on rocky shores. where he may be met with Of all sizes, varying In length from an Inch to two or more feet,
 The octopus has one very curious hablt-when resting he coils up some of his arms Into a semblance of the shell of the Pearson's Week.

Usefulness of any man or woman lies principally in the willingness back ot the hands to do as we'll as they pos sibly can whatever comes their way. As rule, it win be found that the most useless persons In the world are those who are waiting for something to turn up. And by the same sign it is a fact that the most useful beings are those who have taken up the first thing that came to hand and done the best they could with it. These people usual ly find something to their liking in the long run, too, and if this be denied them they have the, good sense to learn tO like what comes.

 The panorama from Seattle to Skag' way, the sea and the mountains, the long, deep ialets with their crystal wa ters shading into the distant darkness of surrounding heights, the great gla- ciers, the long, lingering twilights that separate the days in the far north, the wild precipices Of White pass and the mighty Yukon slipping down from be. tween it's lowerStrewn hills to the far otT sea, all in one journey, form an ex- perience no traveller can forget.
 All who take this trip pronounce it the grandeSt on the continent. lt is one of the most stupendous in all the world, iu fact, and is taken by so limit ed a humber of travellers simply be- cause it's attractions and wonders are so little known. One man on his re- turn recently said that thousands would go to the Yukon every year If they only knew what 1t meant in scenic way, and in freedom from the heat oi eastern summers.

Johnstown, N. Y, April ia re-
markable Surgical operation has been
performed on Pierre Lacomb, 90 years
of age, French Canadian Topper Lake
guide
Two sons took him to the Claytown
hospital suffering from appendicitis
which necessitated an immediate opera
ton. The doctors said the operation
would doubtless prove fatal. The old
man saw a fighting chance for his life
and insisted upon an operation.
At noon the operation was performed;
At 5 0 CLOCK the old man sat up, called
for his trousers, took therefrom plug
of tobacco, cut from it a liberal slug
and put it, in his mouth. A few hours
later a nurse brought the old man some
broth. He called the doctors. Think
ing to humor the old man, they ordered
pork and beans, which the old guide
asked for, and he ate heartily of them.
. The third day Lacomb decided to go
home The nurses protested. The doc
tors said, "Let him go.,' The old fel.
low went home and Saturday, five days
from the time of the operation, he was
out Of doors saving wood.
