Fishing With Broom Handles.

From the Detroit Free Press.
Fishing with a broom handle with moth
ing but fresh air as bait. is something new
I'm this vicinity. but 1t Is practiced IN the
River Rouge district and In the canals run
ming through the Ecorse marshes.
The canal was closed up when the ship
yard was built on the river front and thou
sands of fish had no opportunity to escape.
Last winter the canals were frozen from
end to end and not an airhole was Wis bic.
Men In the neighborhood have discovered
the fish need fresh air. and provide breath
unsuspecting fish poke their noses about
half an inch above the water and the fish,

snout, knocking them unconscious. Sew
eral big hauls are made In this way every
day.

TYPHOID FEVER.
It's Origin Can Be Traced to Vege-
tables

From Harper's Weekly.
Inasmuch as the claim is at times made
that typhoid fever is communicated through
the agency OF vegetables grown in a soil
infected with typhoid bacllli through drain
age or otherwise, It is Of interest to study
a recent European investigation by DIR.
Clauditz dealing with this subject. He
found that when fresh typhoid bacilli were
placed In the earth they were not particu-
larry adaptive to new conditions. and did
not flourish. but II they were associated
with other bacteria which were native to
the soil they were more hardy. and could DO
propagated in the form OF cultures which
will endure in the ground for several months.
Using some bacteria developed In this way.
a thorough test of the susceptibility of veg
etables for harboring these micro-organisms
was made. First there were planted in soil
thus infected pease. radishes, cress and
other vegetables. which were allowed to
grow until several inches in height. They
were then cut or level with the ground.
and after being washed with sterilized
water they were bruised in boulllon, a sub
stance which Is particularly favorable for
the development of bacteria. The results
showed that I'm only one Of the four expert
ments could any typhoid bacilli be detected.
1t was then determined to ascertain whether
the bacteria penetrated to the interior OF
the plants, and for this purpose their sur
face was first washed with a solution of BIZ
chloride of mercury. which would have the
effect of killing any germs with which II
came In contact, but at the same time would
not necessarily penetrate to the Interior and
act on any micro-organisms In the inner
tissues OF the plant. The plants were then
tested as before. with negative results. and
the conclusion was reached that even In
the event of bacteria being present on tho
roots or leaves they were not able TO reacn
the interior structures.

Photographing an Owl.
From st. Nicholus.


The great horned owl may also be fas-
cinated by q dog. And the photographing
Of the great horned owl under these con-
ditions is not difficult; wait until the owl
seizes the fowl and stops to rest on the re-
turn to the woods; then let a dog be led
to within twenty or thirty feet Of the owl,
and the bird will be all attention for the
dog and take no apparent notice Of the
person leading It. The behavior Of tho owl
at such times is very amusing. 1t stands
motionless. gazing intently at the dog: but
after a few minutes. If the dog remains
quiet, the bird seems to become nervous,
and steps first to one side and then to the
other, kissing. swapping Its beak and
ruffiing Its feathers. After this the owl
will usually try to make OF with its prey:
but IL another halt Is made, the birds
actions show even more nervousness. While
the owls attention Is thus attracted Is the
time to approach within distance"
to get the Snapshots"

the society, inconsistent with the best

The thing done, and permitted to DO
done, which is most directly and fragrant
w inconsistent with the best interests OF
the Equitable society is the attempt to
compose harmony for irreconcilable fac
lions within the management by means OF
a secret investigation with one faction
as prosecutor and the other faction as
tribunal. and the doors shut tight to the
policyholders.
The real investigating committee in
this case consists of the six hundred
thousand poicyholders whom Mr.. ALEX

other citizens who have a direct personal
interest in knowing how the affairs OF
these giant organizations of assurance

Forty Years Ago.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN was assassinated
forty years ago to-day. Five days before
Gen. LEE had surrendered at Appomat-
tox and the war between North and South
was at an end.
That assassination had no political
significance, 80 far as concerned the
perpetrator Of the crime. 1t was simply
the deed Of an irresponsible fanatic rep
resentative of no body OF Southern SEN
timent. Even in that day of Southern
depression LINCOLN was already held in
honor and esteem at the South. Conf
dence in him rs a generous and broad
minded President Of restored Union
prevailed at the South, and now, after
forty years, his memory is there held in
generation scarcely less than that at
the North.
The assassination Of LINCOLN was Of
capital political Significance, in tho sense
that 70 it was due directly the painful
and disgraceful period Of Reconstruction,
the memory Of which is still so bitter, and
so reasonably bitter, in the South. The
measures Of reconstruction adopted and
pursued 80 relentlessly did violence TO
the whole spirit Of LINCOLN and to the
theory and policy Of craftsmanship Of
which be was 80 manifestly a representa-
tive. LlNcoLN's assassination was an
awful crime against the South.
The forty years which have passed
since that tragical day may seem a long
period Of time, but it has been a marvel
lousy short period within which to have
accomplished the complete transforma-
ton that has come TO pass in that time.
The American States have become more
compact and more cordial in their union
than ever in their history; nay, for the
first time in that history is there a verita-
BILE unity Of national sentiment.
Forty years is a short time within
which to have brought about at last the
fulflment in verify Of the purpose Of
the preamble Of the Constitution Of the
United States Ito form a more perfect
union, establish justice, insure domestic
tranquility, provide for the common
defence, promote the general welfare
and secure the blessings Of liberty to
ourselves and our posterity.'
