lions. the interview lasting less than
a minute.
The interviewers, it Is said, saw in
Mrs. Eddy a lettering old woman, who

in an upright position during the brief
time she looked into the parlor where
her callers were assembled. They saw

drmities of a woman of eighty-six
were painfully apparent.
The interview with Mrs. Eddy con
sisted of questions prepared in advance
for Mrs. Sybil Wilbur O'Brien, repre-
senting a magazine. to ask her. The
first question put to Mrs. Eddy was,
Mrs. Eddy, are you in perfect bodily
health?"
"What?' said Mrs. Eddy in a high
pitched voice, common to those who
are hard of hearing.
Mrs. O'Brien repeated the question,
raising her voice Il couple of tones.
"Yes," said Mrs. Eddy in her high
pitched voice, Il am WELL"

"have you any other physician than

Eddy. still with her voice pitched high.
Mrs. O'Brien spoke much louder in
repeating the question, and Mrs. Eddy,
~momentarily releasing her hold on the
door jamb, made a gesture with her
left arm and said in Il quavering voice:

about the voice of Mrs. Eddy was rails

Mrs. O'Brien had some more ques-
tons all prepared to ask. Mrs. Eddy
stepped forward, and at the same time
Mr.. Frye, having grasped Mrs. Eddy's
arm, gently turned her face toward
the front parlor, in which the inter
viewers were standing.
Mrs. Eddy" began Mrs. O'Brien on
her third question, and this time the
questioner's voice vas raised very high
and strong so that Mrs. Eddy need not
have 1t repeated.
"Do you drive yourself every day in
your ~earriageT
Yes, yes" she called out. and then
she turned from the door leading to
the parlor and supporting herself by
putting one hand against the wall and

Winter Eishinn.

Winter fishing has ane other merit
which all true sportsmen will rec
ognize as such-namely, considerable
uncertainty. One day you may fish
certain waters-whether deep or shall
low, whether weedy or free-and well
nigh draw blank, while the very next
day the same waters will give rich
finny returns. What is more strange
is that not seldom on the same day
there will be good luck in different
depths and varying waters of the same
lake or pond an observation through
the clear black ice of carly winter or
late autumn has convinced the writer
that these mystic fishy moods of biting
in winter are almost or quite independ-
ent OF the movements of the schools of
bait fish. About all that can be said
on such points in the way of general
suggestion is that winter fish bite
usually better on a mild day than on
a cold one-best of all during a gentle
thaw; that they take the bait more
ifeely under thin ice-that is, in early
Winter-than after the ice has thick
ened; ana that they appear to be quite
unaffected by noise, such as the rum
Die OF skates or the gentle thunder of
the setting ice. 1t is certain that

Fernand Engerands bill to soften the

upon the members of families who
