Though his greenhouse was a small

was never extensive, he made money
rapidly from the sale Of worms, until
last year, when he retired and went

| Sidney Cooke Of Presque Isle, the
inventor of several diving appliances
used by men who work in deep waters,
was the next man to attract attention
! as a public benefactor in the bait line.
Mr.. Cooke says his invention was
made possible through having watch
ed the Indians Of Canada when they
sought worms for bait.
CAN earth worms come to the sur
face 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 dragging a
blanket with it's under side smeared
with bird lime along the surface Of
the land, thus picking up the fat
worms, together with sticks and
Jumps of earth and small pebbles.
"After dredging the land for ii
time the Indians carried the blanket
to the camp, picked off the worms and
added another coating of bird lime,
Though I have been praised very
much for'my invention, it is not mine
by rights, as gained the idea from
Indians.
"The only change I have made is to
go out with light giving forth vio-
let color and allowing it to shine for
a few minutes upon the land to be Wis
tied with the smeared blanket. Mos,
lights frighten earthworms and drive
them underground, which is the rea
son why they feed in the dark, hut Q

cor perhaps the worms are hypno.
tized by the strange glare and cannot
get away. That is the way dash lamp
acts upon deer at night, and I think
a deer should know as much as an

Cheese mos Too Fur Gone

The old Virginia darkey who has
been from the time he wos ten years
of age the dining room servant Of one
of our aristocratic families, says the
Washington Post, is noted for his
Chesterfieldian manners. And as a
waiter, cleaner, and everything else
for which house servant is wanted,
he is not equalled by his latter-day
brethren, whose main occupation, if
he has been to school and can read a
little, is that Of q hotel waiter or
Pullman car porter.
Having some company to tea one
night, I remember that two Of my
friends were fond Of Limburger
cheese. I bought a pound package
and took. it home with me. On arriv-
al Old Uncle Isaac met me as usual
with his accustomed salutation of
"Good even boss.'' I said to him:
''Uncle Isaac, you will find among
other things in that box a package Of
cheese, and want it on the table to-
night" ....'..
"All right, boss; I'll have it,"
"Don't you forget it," said 7.
"Oh, no sub; amt groi' fergit it.
I'll have it, sho'. 49,. 49,. ....
Now, Uncle Isaac had seen every
kind Of cheese in his life, but this was
his first experience with the Limbur-
ger. ~ "..' ~. .,r....t->.
When I took my company into Che
dining room the old fellow was stand
ing near the table, with long white
apron on, and waiter under his arm
ready to jump if any one looked to-
ward him. Not seeing the cheese, I
said to him, quietly: ."....".<!
"Uncle Isaac, where g the cheese7"
With look Of great disappoint-
ment, he turned to my wife, as if to
say, "Please marin, come to my res
cue!" but my wife only smiled. re-
peated my question then with more
emphasis. "Uncle Isaac, where g the
cheese7" He came sbuffling up to
me sideways and being too polite to
let the guests hear what he had to
say, whispered, softly, in my ear,

FORTUNE IN FISH BAIT.
Maine Man Retires on Money Made
BY Raising Earthworms.

BY far the most popular bait for all
kinds Of fishing in Maine is living
earthworms, which have the odor Of
the ground about them and, which
seem to be choice tidbits, not only for
trout and landlocked salmon, but also
for pickerel, perch, black bass and, in
deed, every species Of food fish that
swims in fresh water. AS the Maine
soil is deficient inIhumus and lacking
in decaying vegetable. matter, angle
worms are not plentiful. .,
More than ten years ago, says an
exchange, Carl Beers, a florist Of Ban
gor, went into the business Of rearing
earthworms for the purpose. Of sell.

to supply live worms by the million
to his customers.
Those shipped to, Boston we're sold

L1FELEss RIDERS.
Thrilling Incidents Culled From The
Horrors Of War.

A veteran Of the British army in
India once saw strange sight on a
battlefield. AS he tells the story q
squadron Of cavalry had been held in
reserve under cover Of field battery
and an infantry regiment. The artil-
lery duel had ended. The assault Of
the enemy in overwhelming numbers
had been repulsed by the steadiness
Of the infantry. While a cloud Of
smoke hung over the field the cav
airy received orders to charge with
drawn sabers.
The troopers started in close order
for the enemy's line. Midway they
met destructive fire from earth
works in front of them and from the
woods OH their flank. A young caval-
ryman, with his saber drawn, was shot
in the heart while leading in the first
file. The horse halted, swerved to the
right and turned back, but the rider
kept his seat without flinching. The
other troopers went on, carried the
earthwork by storm rode at full gal
lop after the retreating force and con-
verted defeat into rout.
The dead trooper meanwhile was re-
turning with white face and with the
blood streaming from his wound. Un-
der his nerveless hand the horse re-
ceived neither check nor leading and
made it's own way toward the infantry
which was now advancing rapidly. AS
the smoke lifted the soldiers saw the
solitary rider coming with one hand
in death grip upon the saddle, while
the other still held the sword rigidly
clasped. ..,. ...,. g..
1t was sight never to be forgotten
the galloping horse, with the dead
cavalryman still mounted apd looking
grim and fierce. It was not until the
rider had gone fifty yards from the
spot where he had been killed that he
rolled off the horse.
A similar story is told Of Captain
Nolan, who delivered the fatal blum
dering order for the charge Of the ia
nous Light brigade. He was seen OIL
the field of Balakava, riding from the
hills where the staff officers were
drawn up to the quarter where the
brigade was stationed. The charge
began, and what was left of the bri-
gade returned in broken groups.
At last Captain Nolan was seen gal
looping rapidly toward the center Of
the field. He was firmly seated,
straight as an arrow and riding we'll.
Suddenly the horse swerved and the
rider toppled over.
The officers who were nearest rush
ed forward, but when they lifted him
from the ground they. found him life
less. Like the Indian saberman, he
had been shot and instantly killed,
but his horse had carried him safely
across the field, out Of the reach Of
the pursuing Cossacks. ..'.
