BLIND MIGRATORY FISH.

Few anglers are aware of the not
inconsiderable number of sea trout
and salmon that are totally blind,
says writer in The Field. 1t is no
rare occurrence for the bailiff when
stepping into the coop box to find
that all the fish do not frantically
scatter about his feet. There are
salmon and sea trout which lie per-
fectly quiet until touched. These
when examined are found to have
growing over their eyes a scaly COW
ering like the shell of a pea that
has been boiled.
There can be no doubt that the
fish which have their eyes complete
ly enveloped by this she'll are totally
blind. There are this season on the
Cumberland Derwent larger pro-
portion than usual of fish so affiict-
ed. Blindness in sea trout and sal
mon no doubt partly accounts for
long sojourns in particular places.

JACK RABBITS A NUISANCE
California Ranchmen In Despair Over
the Depredations of the
Small Animals.

Jack rabbits are said to be so nu-
merous in the Antelope valley of
California that the ranchmen are
in despair. The animals are becom-
ing so fierce that they ere actually
breaking down the fences around
the adjacent fields and eating crops
down to the roots. Not content with
this, they are swarming into the
desert towns and invading the front
yards of the jewellers. The citizens
of Lancaster turned out recently
and made roundup. They put a
fence across the road between fences
surrounding fields on either side,
and in short time drove in and
killed with clubs over 500 jack rab-
bits. The people of the valley are
considering the ACCESSIBILITY Of invit-
ing Los Angeles to join in a general
slaughter. They think several hum
dred men and boys, on horseback,
might be able to kill 10000 of the
pesky cottontails.

IF ! WERE A MAN.

Nine. Albani, the famous singer,
has published an article entitled eff
1 We're a Man," in a Berlin journal.
In it she says;
eff / were a man l would rarely,
perhaps never, become annoyed over
a trifle. l could not scold if, for
instance, a dish were served not
quite as was accustomed. l would
not allow my temper to be spoilt for
the rest of the day because l had to
exercise a little patience. l would
not behave like an angry child be-
cause a window was shut that l
wished to have open. | would not
work myself up into nervous con-
dition because for the moment every
thing had not gone exactly right. Z"

Brattleboro, Jan. 3I.--In spite Of the
efforts Of the local management, the
chances Of deciding series between the
basket ball teams Of this town and ST.
Johnsbury seem more remote now than
ever before Having held the state
championship for two seasons. the local
fans feel that this town should have
something to say III regard to the ar
rangement Of a series. but efforts to
effect an agreement with Manager Grey
Of 81. Johnsbury have been iinavail-
ing
The local management offered Mr..
Grey the choice of four dates TO be play
"a here, out stipulated that the games
in st. Johnsbufy should be played on
nights following the Brattleboro games,
this condition being necessary because
Of the arrangements the Bfattleboro
management has with It's out Of town
players. Mr. Grey agreed to such an
arrangement when his team played with
Springfield, the third aspirant for state
basket ball honors, but refused to CON
slider the matter when il was preached
by Bnsttlehoro
Basket ball enthusiasts in both this
town and st. J0hnsbury viii learn with
regret that there will be no series this
year, but IN view Of the St. Johnsbury

this town has no reason TO relinquish
the championship title.
