Big-Mouth BASS for culvers Lake,


An effort will be made this winter
to prevail upon opponents of the big
mouth bass at Culvers lake to consent
to the stocking of the lake with these
fish. They have held out for small
mouths and opposed the introduction
of large-mouth bass for years, but dur
ing the last two seasons the bass in
the lake have been infested with para
site worms, and the fishing has been
a failure. Large-mouth bass will yield
sport in summer when cottagers and
guests are at the lake, and the small
mouth bass seldom bite there during
warm weather. In fact, the bass fish
Ing has been fiat failure for at least
three years. 1t is a well-established
fact that the two kinds Of black bass
live in harmony.

Home Life in Spain.

No hospitality can be more whole hearted and far-reaching than that which Mrs. Ellen Maury Slayden and her husband enjoyed in Barcelona. and of which she has written for the Cen tury.
 One of the prettiest things in home life all over Spain,' she says lis the natural and kindly way in which the servants are made a part of the fam fly. In the don's house the little maids often took part in the conver- sation, spoke to the guests, and asked them to stay longer; and even the DOT ters and kitchen visitors popped their red-capped heads into the door to say the Spanish equivalent for 'howdy' to the family, just as old negroes do in the southern states"

Hard Water.

A farm woman in Pennsylvania once said: T never hear anyone sing The Old Oaken Bucket without a shud. der" For 15 years she had done tho cooking and washing for a family of six with no other water supply than what she had hauled out of well nearly 30 feet deep by means of 9 bucket. Baths in winter were almost out of the question, and even in the summer they were regarded as an oc. casion of more than ordinary impor- tance, for which preparations had to be made hours ahead of the great event. A cubic foot of water weighs 621a pounds, and in all these years the number of tons this woman had lifted had made poetic allusions to "ironbound" and "moss-covered" buck cts good deal like saying rope" to a man about to be hanged.-Farm. ing.

WORKER MUST LOVE VOCATION
First Requisite for the Attainment of
 Success in Any Line.

prime qualification for success in any art, trade or profession is the love of it, though love alone will by no means bring success in it. The love must be reciprocal; that is, the voca- ton must desire its follower, for req sons which must remain as much a mystery to him as to any of his wit nesses. She was love worthy" says Heine, in treating of a mo-e passional case, and he lovgi her; bu, he was not love-worthy, and she loved him not.' The fond youth, university bred or self-made, may have ever so great desire for journalism, but journal ism will have no desire for him, un. less he has the peculiar charm for it which commands affection in all cases. de can only prove the fact by trying and by longing to try with a longing that excludes the hope of every other reward beside the favor of the art he wishes to espouse. Riches, fame, power may be in the event, but they are not to be in the quest. The wish to succeed in it for it's own sake must be his first motive, and the sense of success in 1t must be left to add them selves, without his striving for them. So far as he strives for them, they will alloy and dilute his journalistic sue cess.-W D. Howells, in Harpers Magazine.
