FoREToLD HIS FUTURE.
The Message Carl Sehurz Received
From Spirit Land.

An extraordinary experience with Il
medilm is given in the Carl SchurZ
mem oirs in McClure's.
After receiving what purported to be
message from Schiller General
Schurz asked that the spirit of Lincoln
be summoned to tell why President
Johnson had called Schurz to Wash
ington
"The answer came, He wants you
to make an important journey for him
I asked where that journey would take
me- Answer. He will tell you tonior-
row. | asked further whether
should undertake that journey. An
swer. Yes; do not fail Il may add.
by the way. that at that time had not
the slightest anticipation as to what
President .Johnson's intention with re-
gard to me was.)
Having disposed of this matter,
asked whether the spirit of Lincoln
had anything more to say to me. The
answer came, Yes; you will be a sena-
tor of the United States This struck
me as so fanciful that | could hardly
suppress n laugh. but | asked further.
From what state?' Answer. From
Missouri This was more provokingly
mysterious still, but there the CONVEX
Sation ceased.
Hardly anything could have been
more improbable at that time than that
| should be Il senator of the United
States from the state of Missouri. My
domicile was in Wisconsin. and | was
then thinking of returning there. |

Wisconsin to Missouri, and there was
not the slightest prospect of my ever
doing SO.
But, to forestall my narrative. two
years later was surprised by an en-
tirely unsought and unexpected bust
ness proposition which took me to st.
Louis. and in January, 1869. the legis-
lature of Missouri elected me sena-
tor of the United States. then re-
membered the prophecy made to me
at the spirit seance in the house of my

As Good as a Porter.

1t is curious how many people are in
ignorance of simple little facts in con-
uection with everyday life which
would save them large amount of
unnecessary labor and fatigue. Take
the case of carrying heavy bag or
portmanteau. for Instance. We all
know the annoying way in which it
knocks against our legs and the almost
intolerable ache in the arm that is sup.
porting the burden. Few people are
aware, however. that by folding a cou-
pie Of newspapers and putting them
under ones armpit large amount of
the strain and Inconvenience is imme-
diately removed. Try 1t next time you
are hurrying to catch train.-Pear-

CLEVER FISHERMEN.
Odd Methods of the Indians on the
Ssult Ste. Marie.

Ssult Ste. Marie.
On the Sault Ste. Marie the Indians
have novel method of catching white
fish. Two Indians go with a canoe into
the rapids. one occupies the bow and
one the stern. The latter uses pad
die to keep the boats head upstream.
The former has a pole with which to
steady the boat. standing upright in
his place
They take with them a dipnet four
feet in diameter attached to Il pole or
handle fifteen feet long This is placed
ready 10 the hand of the Indian in the
bow The fishing is done at the foot
of the rapids. where the water boils
and tumbles furiously.
With his pole the Indian in the bow
holds the canoe or lets it float steadily
sidewise, now up little perhaps and
then down, but always under perfect
control. The Indian gazes constantly
into the water. which Is often ten feet
deep where they are fishing and the
depths of which no white man was
ever yet able to school his eye to pene-
trate
Suddenly he seizes the net by the
handle with one hand. still manipulate
ing the boat with the other, and plunges
the net into the water. perhaps ten feet
away thrusting it to the bottom. Then
he gives it peculiar twist, draws it
up and turns out into the boat often
as many as half dozen whtefish
weighing from three to five pounds.
These Indian fishermen are unerring
in casting their nets, and it is not an
uncommon thing for them to capture
800 whitefish in day. How they are
able to see the fish in the bottom of
the rapids is mystery no one has yet
been able to fathom.-Pearson's Week
