Swimmer Is his name and he seems per

ent OF the st. Louis Republic.
The old man Is Civil War veteran.
When he was discharged at the end
OF the war he had money enough to
Purchase an acre OF ground on the
shores OF picturesque Mirror Lake In
this acre OF ground he planted vegeta-
bles and fruit trees. Close to the house
there grows thick cluster Of black
berry bushes and In the garden behind
1t there are long rows OF strawberries
over the fence that separates the yard
from the road are wild roses. Here the
veteran makes his home.
How does he live?
Each day he takes his fishing rod
and goes down to Mirror Lake. That
is his pork barrel. The nsh that he
draws out OF those waters supply his
dinner likewise his breakfast.
The vegetables and meal made from
corn grown in his garden complete his
diet. For his lake fishing Skinner has
built himself boat which Is as unique
as himself. In order that he may fish
and propel his boat at the same time
he has invented an extraordinary con
trivance.
At the stern OF his boat he has a
paddle Ike that OF river steamer.

hand as he trolls with the other From

No Fish without Forests.

necessary to the preservation OF our
nah, but many Of the readers may not
yet have considered how intimately
the preservation OF our forests is con-
nected with the preservation OF our
streams and hence the very existencs
of many fish, especially brook trout
depends upon the preservation OF the
forests.
To illustrate this relationship be.
tween forests and water, make a cou.
pie OF troughs, line one with clay to
represent the country denuded OF trees
the opposite trough lined with sods Of
grass or moss to represent the forest
clad mountain side. set them on an In.

a rough reservoir. Pour pail Of
water into this reservoir and there will
be a wild rush OF water down the
clay-lined trough, while the moss and
grass-llned one will drip for hours.
1t only needs a little Imagination to
convert this machine into a forest-clad
mountain and one denuded OF timber.
The cloudburst represented by the
contents OF the bucket suddenly pour.
ed into the top reservoir is only a
dangerous cloudburst on the barren
slope. By the use OF this simple de-

Mission OF Music.

Music boxes and blue light are two
OF the latest things In the line OF
anaesthetics. The music boxes do not
reduce pain or render the patients in
sensible. but. according to Prof. Red
ard. OF Geneva, they do take away
certain I'll effects that often accompany
the use OF anaesthetlcs. 1t is II well
known fact that external impressions
received duriag the period OF somno-
lence have great bearing on the
dreams. From this Prof. Redard con-
ceived the idea OF utilizing music. II
was found that the music had a ten.
dency to take away the disagreeable
excitation previous to the use OF the
chloroform or other anaestetic. The
awakening was also found to be free
