FORTUNE IN FISH BAIT.
Bangor Florist Able to Retire on Money
Made by Raising Earthworms.

PREsouR ISLE, Me-, March l5.-By far
the most popular bait for all kinds OF fish
ing In Maine Is living earth worms, which
lave the odor Of the ground about them
and which seem to be choice tidbits, not
only for trout and landlooked salmon, but
also for pickerel, perch, black bass and,
indeed. every species Of food fish that swims
In fresh water. As the Maine soil Is deficient
in humus and lacking in decaying vegetable
matter, angleworms are not plentiful.
More than ten years ago Carl Beers, a
florist of Bangor, went into the business
of rearing earth worms for the purpose
Of selling them to the local fishermen, as
we'll as for shipment to Boston. He i'm
ported q breed Of dark purple worms from
BELGIUM. which were prolific breeders,
though coarse and strong favored, and
later he secured a box of giant angleworms
from India. In the course OF a few years
he was able to supply live worms by the
million to his customers.
Those shipped to Boston were sold in
lob lots for rs cents a pound. To the home
customers he sold worms OF average size
for 10 cents a dozen. Though his green
house was a small one, and though his trade
In flowers was never extensive, he made
money rdrlQly lIoLn tuo Saio "of",
! until last year, when he retired and went
{ o his old home In Sweden, a wealthy man.
Sidney Cook OF Pressure Isle, the inventor
Of sever al diving appliances used by men
who work In deep waters, was the next man
to attract attention as q public benefactor
in the bait line. Mr.. Cook says his invention
was made possible through having watched
the Indians OF Canada when they sought
worms for bait.
"All earth worms come to the surface at
night said he, "and feed on the grasses
and rotting leaves near the entrance to
| their burrows. While the worms were busy
eating, the Indians Of Canada had a habit
| of draqeing q blanket with its under side
smeared with bird lime along the surfaos
| OF the land, thus picking up the fat worms,
together with sticks and Jumps OF earth
| and small pebbles.
After dredging the land for q time the
Indians carried che blanket to the camp,
picked of the worms and added anot her
coating Of bird lime: Though l have been
not mine by rights, as / gained the idea

THE only change / have made is to 60
out with a light giving forth a violet color
and allowing 1t to shine for a few minutes

In another article l nave referred to the

CHRISTIANITY IN CHINA.
Al Pekin I attended a morning service
at the Methodist church whore some 600
Chinese men and women listened to a SER
mon in their own language delivered by
an American missionary. IN Thanksgiv-
ing Day we ate dinner at the Presbyterian
mission, and during our travels through
China met a number OF ministers, physicians
and teachers.
They all testified to the stimulus given
to the spread Of religion by the fidelity
shown by the Chinese Christians during
the Boxer troubles. Prof. Isaac T. Head
land Of the Methodist University at Pekin
has published a volume entitled Chinese
Heroes" in which he gives a humber Of
instances Of consecrated devotion on the
/ part Of the Chinese to the Christian faith,
and why should not China be a promising
mission feld2
Buddhism has here done its perfect work
and cannot reasonably ask for q further
trial; the philosophy Of the sages has also
been shown impotent for the harmonious
DEVELOPMENT Of the threefold man. China
has followed an ideal and followed 1t with
a diligence rarely exhibited, but that ideal
has been weighed In the balance and found
wanting.
1t is often said in defence Of Confuoianism
that it's founder gave to his disciples the
Golden Rule, stated in it's negative FORM
but too little emphasis has been given to
the difference between the doctrine OF
| Confncius; 80 not unto others as you
would not AVE others do unto you,' and
the doctrine Of the Nazarene, 'Whatso-

MISTAKES ABOUT NICOTINE.
Doesn't Accumulate in Pipe Very
Little Nicotine Poisoning.

There are probably few subjects about
which more people are misinformed than
nicotine.
Nearly every one speaks OF the dark
brown substance which has about the con-
sistency and color of molasses and accu-
mulates in the stems Of pipes as nicotine.
It is not nicotine, and it has no nicotine
In It.
1t is nothing but tar-tobacco tar, dis
titled from the smoke, just as coal tar is
distilled from coal and pine tar from pine
wood. One might swallow all the tobacco
tar that a rank clay pipe contains without
serious harm. II he swallowed the same
quantity OF nicotine he would probably be
dead inside Of five minutes.
II ia the tar that stains the pipe, and it is
the same tar that stains the cigarette
smokers fingers. 1t is also found inside
the nostrils Of one who inhales smoke, and
It puts an indelible stain on mustaches.
1t Is true that tobacco contains more
nicotine than any other known plant, but
nicotine Is not a plentiful article in nature.
The rankest Kentucky tobacco contains
less than 3 per cent. OF nicotine, and the
finer grades of tobacco, such rs Havana,
have less than ? per cent.
One often hears cigarettes condemned
because the smoker gets so much more
nicotine through inhaling the smoke, The
fact is that q cigarette smoker gets almost
no nicotine, because the tobacco Of which
cigarettes are made contains next 70 no
nicotine. Turkish and Egyptian tobaccoe
| carry only a trace of nicotine, and some of
them none at all.
No matter how much of this deadly
element a tobacco contains, the smoker
does not get it. Nicotine is not extracted
by burning the tobacco. Burning destroys
ii entirely.
One often hears Of nicotine poisoning,
but it is very doubtful il there is any such
thing. When one Is poisoned with nicotine
he dies, and he doesn't get poisoned by
smoking. There are plenty Of good rea-
sons why smoking should not he carried to
excess, but nicotine poisoning is not one
Of them.
