HEREDTTY IN ANGLERS.
Grover Cleyeland's Views OF Source
of ENperneSs.

Former President Grover Cleveland
claims that in order to be a successful
fisherman one must have had parents
meaning that the art OF fishing is
hereditary. AS is well known. fishing
with the rod is Mr.. Clevelands favor
lite recreation, and in an interview he
consented to submit to at the Buck
ingham when he came to New York
the other day to attend the reception
of the Bar association to Joseph
Choate, he was induced to talk on the
subject of his favorite sport. Mr.
Cleveland said, smiling broadly the
while: But 1 assure you there's
nothing absurd about 1t. In the fish
ing line more people than in any other
field of enterprise the parental influ-
ence must be taken into consideration.
The fisherman is born, not made. For
a long time 1 was under the impress
sion that the fisherman was made.
But l discovered that he was nothing
Of the kind.
THE aspirant for fishing honors
may buy beg, borrow or steal the best
rod that was ever turned out; MAJ
purchase the brightest and most mu-
steal reel that ever spun music as the
line ran out: may invest in the best
waterproof lines; may make mis- hat
gay with the grandest artificial flies
that ever were made; he may do all
these things and many more, and vet
be as far from the goal of his ambi-
tions as ever. The fish simply refuse
to risA and his basket remains empty.
And probably a dozen yards away a
small boy sits with phlegmatic calm,
armed only with u crooked hazel stick,
a piece of string and two-cent hook,
and proceeds to snare the finny deni-
zens of the stream with a rapiditv
that makes the older hand at the
game with his elaborate outfit, feel
like thirty cents You may say that
the boy has found a better spot. Not
a bit of it.
Change places with him, even use
the same bait as his juvenile might
ness, and before you have had a ghost
of nibble the kid will have half a
dozen beauties gasping upon the bank.
from the very spot where you fish
ed for hours in vain.
"Nhen l was a boy I, too, could
catch fish. My hand has not lost
much of its cunring, but I am a
pretty fair fisherman yet notwith-
standing.
II have no doubt that the art of
fishing is direct survival of the an
cient attribute of our prehistoric an
cestors. We may be sure that the
lake dwellers and all those who dwelt
by pond or stream were past masters
in the art of catching fish with the |
most primitive implements. When, |
therefore, you find small boy catch |
ing fish early with bit of string and
a bent pin you may be sure you have |
struck a direct descendent of the an
cient lake dwellers. New York !

What To Do.
There is comfort i'll the knowledge so
often expressed, that DIR. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
1t corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Ro0t
is soon realized 1t stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need medicine
you should have the best. Sold by drug
gists in fifty-cent and one-dollar sizes.

Ladybuas Feast on San jose Scale,

Seattle Post-Intelligencer: An ex-
pertinent Is being made near Grants
Pass, Oregon, which, IL 1t proves salts
factory, will be of vast benefit to APP
pie growers and or~chardists all over
America. Some thirty big ladybug
'beetles, direct from China, have been
turned loose in an old orchard near
there badly infested with scale. The
original home of these beetles was near
the great wall, northern China. They
are the Asiatic ladybug beetle. and they
are the natural enemy Of the San Jose
scale. They feed on the scale in China,
and multiply in such numbers that
where they are the scale cannot thrive.
Curiously enough, the home Of the San
Jose scale is also near the great wall,
northern China. The beetles that have
been liberated in the old orchard in
southern Oregon are being closely
watched. An orchardist who has them
in charge reported hat the little bugs
had gone diligently to work on the
scale. He noticed eight on one tree
greedily d%evouring the scale. The
climate Of this part of Oregon Is very
similar to that of China, and 1t is very
likely that a multitude of these enc
mics will spring up from the parent
and spread to surrounding states.

ANOTHER RECORD IN LAND.
HUNTING.
This Springs Exodus toCanada Greater
than Ever.

9hls Springs Exodus toCanada Greater
than Ever.
1t was thought in 1903, when over
dfty thousand people went from the
United States to Canada, that the limit
of the yearly emigration to the wheat
zone OF the Continent had been reach
ed. But when In 1891 about as large
a lumber of American citizens signi-
ned their intention of becoming set
tiers on Canadiah lands, the general
PUBIC We're prepared for the an
nouncement of large numbers in 1905.
NO surprise therefore will be caused
when 1t is made known that the pre-
dletions of fully fifty thousand in 1905
are warranted in the fact that the
Spring movement Canadaward is
greater than it has ever been. The
special trains from Omaha, Chicago,
st. Paul, Detroit and other gateways
NAVE been crowded. Many have gone
&c join friends and relatives who have
prepared homes for them, and others
alave gone relying upon their own re-
sources, satisfied that what others
a1ave done can also be done by them.
Thls year much new territory has
been opened up by the railroads, which
are extending their main lines and
throwing out branches in their march
across the best grain and grazing
lands on the continent. This new ter
Fitory has attractions for those desiring
TO homestead on the one hundred n
sixty acres granted each settler by the
canadian Government. Many also
cake advantage Of the opportunity to
purchase lands at the low figures at
(which they are now being offered.
It does not require much thought To
convince n that if Iowa, Illinois,
Minnesota and other lands, with a
value of from fifty to one hundred and
atty dollars an acre, will give a good
living by producing ten to thirteen
bushels OF wheat to the acre and
thirty to fifty bushels of corn to the
acre the lands of Western Canada Il
seven to ten dollars an acre. producing
from twenty to thirty bushels Of a SUI
perior wheat to the acre, should nro-
duce q competence to the ordinary
- 81
farmer in a very few years. These
are the facts as they confront the
reader. There are millions of acres OF
such land in Western Canada in addi.
ton TO the other millions that are con
kadered to be portions of the biggest
a best ranges that ever invited the
cattle and horse producer OF the North
American continent. What is particu-
iarly evident al Nestern Canada is the
fact that the wheat lands. adjoining
4 Grazing lands. make farming par
f1eaiiaffF agreeable and profitable. Tie
agents Of the Canadian Government,
7sho are aaways willing to give infor-
NATION and advice to intending SET
tiers, SAL that the acreage put under
srop this season IS greatly in excess OF
last season.
