Many Pike this Year.

Pike are exceptionally numerous
this spring and all the rivers are
filed with this handsome and succu-
lent fish. The state wardens have
been busy collecting spawn and it is
estimated that from 100000, 1000 to
10000, 900 spawn have been secured.
OF this number over 100000 were
secured at Pike river near Tower.
The fish commission say they have
never seen Pike more plentiful than
this season.
Pike river, which runs into Vermil-
ion lake at a point five miles above
Tower, is favorite spawning ground
for pike, and an idea of the immense
quantities Of these fish in Lake Yer

numbers that run up stream in

More than England.

The United States Steel corpora
tion makes more Bessemer steel rails
a year than all the rail mills of Great
Britain. 1t made last year nearly
300 per cent more Bessemer steel
ingots than Great Britain, and nearly
as much pig iron. In 1903, the latest
date for which complete figures are
available, the corporations output
was 872, 1878 tons more than that Of
Great Britain. In the same year the
U. S. Steel corporation produced
l,647, TO tons, more iron ore from its
own mines than were produced in all
Great Britain.

Il do not believe the statement is

the fish, mainly pike. running so thick

Story Told of Tom Marshall, the Ken
tuckian, and the Science Of
Phrenology.

One Of Kentuckys national law.
makers furnishes this story about Tom
Marshall: When the science Of phre-
nology first began to attract public at
tention a lecturer on that line turned
UP in Louisville and gave talks as well
as making examinations of large num-
Der of craniums. This lecturer devel-
oped wonderfully large amount of hid
den vice and virtue which had not be-
fore been even suspected among the
good people of that city. Marshall at
tended one of the exhibitions" He
was about half-seas over, unfortunately.
After the lecture and demonstration
closed Marshall and a crowd of friends
went to the Gait house to ''1iquidate"
and talk over the newly discovered sci
ence. Marshall declared that he could
phrenologize as well as the lecturer;
that it was a rank fake. and the fellow
ought to be rocked out of town. Mar
shall was requested to go in the parlor
and examine a few heads. This he
consented to do, and several men and
women were entertained by the brilliant
man as he called OFF the different
bumps" and ground out yard after yard
of good and bad qualities Of the head
owners. He knew most Of the crowd
and made vast amount Of fun. It hap
pened that among those present a
Louisville fop, Of scant amount of brains,
distinguished for his forwardness and
egotism, was left out by Marshall. To
this the fop objected. telling him that

MODERN PILGRIM VILLAGE.
Town Of Duxbury at Plymouth Bay
Ia a. Picturesque as In
Antiquity.

Quantity picturesque is the little Pill
grim town Of Duxbury, declares Austin
Cook, in Four-Track News. The water
Of Plymouth bay washes its long sandy
beach, while to the south rises the green
slope OF Captains hill. 1t WAS the sec
ond settlement made by our forefathers,
and still clinging to it are the memories
Of those early days. Miles Standish was
the ruling spirit and at one time owned
the greater part of the village. Who
does not feel personal affection for the
tredoubtable'' captain, with his quick
temper and his warm heart? Although
not at that time member of the Pilgrim
communion, he left all the wealth and
luxury of his ancestral home in England,
and cast his lot with these devout and
sincere people, and most efficiently did
he serve them. Before they left the
May flower he was chosen military
commandant, and soon proved his cour-
age by penetrating into an Indian en-
campment and dealing with them so
summarily that ever after they stood in
awe of the man, who tho little In stat
ure. was great in strength

SHOCK BRINGS BACK VOICE
Physician Says That Electricity If
Judiciously Used Often
Restores Speech.

A young woman who had not been
able 10 speak for five years has recov-
cred her voice through electricity. One
of the hospital surgeons who operated
said: I'VE occasionally get patients who
are unable to speak, not through any
organic ai1ment, but simply because
they are in a hysterical condition, and
we often cure them by strong electric
shock AS rule they yell out, and then
they have no excuse for not being able
to speak. We do not suggest that such
patients have been shamming. They ac-
tually cannot speak, although there is
nothing wrong with their voice. They
are the kind of patients who sometimes
go under Quack treatment and make re-
markable' cures. There is good deal of
faith healing in this matter" Swedish
doctors having found minute pieces OF
enamel from granite" ware in cases OF
appendicitis, il Is surmised that the
common use of this ware may have some
thing to do with the prevalence OF ap-

WOULD KILL INcURABLEs.
Lives of Seriously Afflicted
Patients.

A French professor Is advocating the
establishment of bathrooms in hospit-s
ais, where patients affected with incur
able diseases who have lost all desire
to prolong their days may at their own
request be sent painlessly out Of the
world, says the Newark News 1t is ex-
tremely doubtful II such measures win
ever be adopted In France or any other
civilized country. Occasionally people
are met with among ourselves who pro-
fess to believe that this kind of work
is done in some hospitals. but they are
quite wrong. 1t Is the business OF the
physicians and all those connected with
the care of the sick to prolong human
life, not to shorten it, and under no cir
cumstances whatever do they consider
themselves justified in departing from
this rule. To put people to death be-
cause of incurable disease would tend to
diminish the sanctity Of human life, and
possibly open the door to the commits
sion Of many crimes.
