Fishing With Forty Foot Rods.

In sea fishing at Biarritz, France,
some remarkably long and heavy rods
are employed. We think twenty foot
salmon rod or roach pole is pretty
good length. but our friends at Biarritz
use rods over fcrty feet in length. In
fishing from the walk at the lighthouse
the rods are balanced on the railing by
means of a wood rest fitting the iron
bars. A line about the length of the
rod is used, three or four hooks and q
light sinker. At La Pointe Plate rods
Of lesser length and weight are used,
but even these are not featherweights
by any means. Reels, according to
Vicomte Henri de France, are known
to these sea anglers, but are seldom
used.-London Fishing Gazette

An OUTRAGEOUS S.srGcrinq

The public may not know the good

a long day among musicians, which
tells how celebrated conductor. ad-

knows him. accused his wife in broken
English of conduct the reverse of adj
mirable. to put It mildly He was re-
fusing an invitation to an afternoon
party for her on the plea of her dell
cate health. but he evidently got Vt
tie mixed during his explanations. for
he made the following astounding
statement. which was news indeed to
the world In general: MY wife lies In
the afternoon. If she does not lie,
then she swindles."

The Art cf Saint Gaudens.

His angels and caryatids are not clas-
sical goddesses, but modern women,
lovely, but with personal and par
ticular loveliness, not insisted upon.
but delicately suggested And 1t is
not the personality of the model who
CHANGED to pose for them, but an in
vented personality, the expression of
the nobility, the sweetness and the
pure mindedness of their creator. And
In such figure as that of the Adams
memorial in Rock Creek cemetery in
Washington his imaginative power
reaches to degree of impressiveness
almost unequaled in modern art. One
knows of nothing since the tombs of
the Medici that fills one with the same
hushed awe as this shrouded, hooded,
deeply brooding figure. rigid with con-
temptation, still with an eternal still
ness, her soul rapt from her body on
some distant quest. Is she Nirvana
Is she the peace of God? She has
been given many names. Her maker
would give her none. Her meaning
Is mystery. She is the everlasting
enigma.-Kenyon Cox in Atlantic.

BUSHRANGERS.

laws In Australia.

The Most Noted of the Later Day Out
laws In Austral;o.
Bushrangers were originally run
away. convicts who took to the "bush,"
as Australians call the backwoods,
and became holdup men. About the
year 1890 the bushrangers became so
numerous that they fought regular en-
gagements with posses and soldiers
sent out to capture them, and this
form OF crime continued sporadically
until within recent years. The most
famous of later rangers were the Kel
ly brothers. After many daring crimes
and hairbreadth escapes the Kellys
actually held up the enti,e village Of
Jerilderie, n. S. w., which had a pop
ulation of 200. Ned Kelly looted the
bank of $4,000, while his three pals
held the men of the village cooped up
special bushranging act in force at the
time authorizing the detention of per-
sons supposed to be in communication
with the outlaws. the Kellys were not
heard of again for nearly year. when
they stuck up" the small town of
Glenrowan, in Victoria. Here they
were brought to bay. and three of the
desperadoes were shot dead in a house
they had barricaded. while the leader,
Ned Kelly. was brought to the ground
with bullet through the legs. He
was hanged in 1880. All four of the
men were in the habit of wearing an
armor made of plOwshares and weigh
ing almost II hundred pounds.-New

ANIMAL TAILS.
The Functions of Those of Cats; Lions
and Jaguars.

The Functions OF Those OF Cats, Lions
and Jaguars.
A cat never actually wags its tail.
Why should it when it can pur? But
nevertheless It seems to serve the same
purpose in permitting temporary ex-
penditure of excess nervous energy
when the animal is under great strain.
For instance, when carefully stalking
a bird or a man, as in the case of a
kitten or a lion. the tip of the tail is
never still for moment-ever curling
and uncurling. We may compare this
to the nervous tapping of the foot or
fingers in man, When an angry lion
is roaring his loudeSt. his tail will fire.

the tail.
When IL iaguar walks along a slen-

another Important function of the tail,
that of an aid in balancing. AS tight
rope performer sways his pole, so the
feline shifts its tail to preserve the
center of gravity.
The tail of Il sheep seems to be of

and sometimes reaches weight Of
fifty pounds. When viewed from be-

when this appendage reaches its full
size it is either fastened between two
sticks which drag on the ground or it
is suspended on two small wheels.-C.

Bear This In Mind When You Pur-

A warning to picture buyers that
was published in Paris by the versa
tile: and fiery Frenchman, M. Roche
fort, may well be laid to heart by
disposed to purchase works of art on
their face value and without challeng
ing the credentials that are lavishly
paraded. 1t is of course the picture
dealers in Paris who need to be spe
cially watched, and NJ. Roclf2ort tells
Q good story in illustration of the care
that should be used A customer had
bought an authentic picture by an old
master in an excellent state of preser-
walton and expressed his intention of
taking it with him. The dealer, on the
other hand, insisted strongly ON send
ing it home by one of his employees.
"If you are afraid that we will
change the picture. you have only got
TO write your name on the back" said
the shopman.
But the customer had his way. When
he reached home, he undid his pur-
chase and discovered that a copy Of
the original canvas had been nailed
behind the genuine picture, so that If
the customer had placed his signature
on the back of the picture he would
have written it on the copy The deal
er would have maintained that that
was the picture he had bought, and
the original would have remained in
the possession of the dealer - Argo-

WHITE MAN HELD
 UP BY NEGROES
MAN THROWS HIM DOWN AND WOMAN GOES THROUGH HIS PockETs-FIND NOTHING BUT CARD CASE.

John Stephens, a white man. living at TIP South Twenty street. was held up and robbed by two negroes last night at about g o'clock on Avenue A between Twenty-second and Twentythird streets.
 Stephens states that he was on his way home and while passing along Avenue A, a negro man and woman stepped out of a vacant lot in front of him. He claims that the man grabbed him and threw him down and then the woman searched him while the man held a revolver in his face.
 The negroes got only card case con taining several Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen cards and receipts from Ste phens. The woman. however, inflicted seV- eral scratches on his hands and wrists. After taking the card case the negroes ran off through the vacant lot.
 The incident of last night was identical to that which occurred several months ago on the corner of Nineteenth street and Avenue F. white man was victim ized in exactly the same manner at the time. and it is thought by the police that the two negroes who held up Stephens last night are the same ones who com mitted the robbery on Avenue F some time ago.

The regular semi-monthly meeting of the city council will be held in the city hall tonight at eight o'clock
 Unless some unexpected turn is taken ing of importance scheduled to come be- fore the board. It is barely possible that the aldermen from the tenth ward will be installed The tenth ward Is composed of Avondale and the property along the foot of Red Mountain to the east of Avondale recently taken into Birmingham. Mayor Ward suggested to the people of this ter ritory some time ago that they hold a mass meeting and select their aldermen or pursue some similar course. If the aldermen have been selected by tonight they will in all probability be installed at the meeting of the Birmingham council.
 A committee was appointed by the East Lake council last night to appear before the Birmingham board tonight to take up the matter of the immediate annexa- ton of East Lake to Birmingham The ter to be presented and with this in view the committee will appear before the council tonight to secure the Birming- ham boards pleasure for an election in East Lake so that the suburb may be- come part of Greater Birmingham with in thirty days.
 With the exception of these two mat ters the business scheduled to come be- fore the council amounts to but little, and a quiet meeting is expected.
