n would be interesting to know
from how many little wilderness sta
tons in the north there goes each
spring. to eager business and profess
sional men in the large cities, the mes
sage that the ice is out. II one could
measure and sum up all the pleasure
their marching orders, and all the In
crement of health and strength that
comes tC them by virtue OF their an
nual fishing trips, 1t would make the
world seem a very cheerful place.
The charm of fishing, for the normal
man, is SO deeply rooted that It can
be accounted for only by regarding 1t
as reawakening Of primeval instinct.
When fly hobs down the rapids, or
worm drops into the hole below the
big boulder, racial memory older
than history comes to life, and the
cashier of the First National becomes
blood-brother to the skin-clad savage
who made the first hook from bone
or piece Of shell. To the savage, fish
ing was earning a livelihood, getting
dinner. The fish he caught was the
wages he received for working at his
Job. To his descendant Of today,
fishing" is far more. 1t is return
for time to natural conditions, where
the sun touches the skin and water
vets the feet, and clothes are friends
which serve, not masters to be con-
sidered. The fish himself is not the
most important, or even an essential
thing-until he is hooked. But when
the tug comes on the line and the fly
disappears, and a thrill runs up and
down the backbone till the very toes
tingle, then he becomes suddenly the
most important thing in the world;
and his appearance later, If, happily,
he so appears. in an overcoat Of corn.
meal, Drowned crisp and piping hot
from the pan-this confirms the i'm
preston of his Importance, and
crowns with reason the absurd bust
ness of catching him. The wholesome
sentiment which would protect all ami
NAL life from cruelty has lately been
showing tendency to lapse into un-
wholesome sentimentality, says the
Youths Companion. There are those
who regard all fishermen as monsters,
and look upon a school Of mackerel as
an educational institution. Alas for
the boys of tomorrow if this creed
spreads!

Houseflies.

II man should come tramping into
your parlor, besmearing the rugs o.
carpets with the mud, slime and filth

worked in the sewers or walked in the

thorough cleaning after he lad been
ordered out or kicked out. A resort

an affront and menace would be up
held by the courts and by cubic senti-
ment. And yet just such nuisance,
only more impudent and dangerous, is
tolerated in every house, with but lit
tie effort to expel him or with but in
different protests as to his presence.
The common housefly, says the New
ark News, is an unmitigated thief and
scoundrel, filth-bearing, disease-car-
rying rascal who does not stop at de-
filing rugs and carpets and furniture,
but who deliberately and with intent
sets his dirty feet anywhere, even
upon the victuals you eat.

WHAT DABY WANTED.

"It isn't a bit of use," cried the
young man, distractedly, as he paced
the room with the crying infant In his
arms; there is something alarming
the matter with him, or he wouldn't
cry like this"
"Oh, whatever shall we do?" said
the young wife, as she took her Off
spring and tried to soothe him; what.
ever shall we do?"
They were very young. and II was
their first baby, and really, If things
had gone on for another hour as they
had during the last, II Is an open
question which would have gone into
commissions first-father, mother or
baby.
I'll fetch mother cried the young
fellow at last; She'll know what to
do" Presently he returned, dragging
the good old mother with him, almost
breathless with haste and overcome
with apprehension. Putting on her
spectacles, she regarded the infant
critically for a moment, and then said /:
He wants feeding!"
"There!" cried the young father
excitedly, 1--WE both knew the little
beggar wanted something, but neither
Of us could tell what it was"

Science will never make wars i'm
possible, because science can never
limit the ingenuity and knowledge of
men to a single channel. The de-
fensive will ever keep pace with the
offensive, and destructiveness will
sooner or later carry its own antidote.
When mems hearts are cleansed and
purified, when peace becomes the
ideal of heroism and courage, then
and then only will wars cease upon
the earth, declares the Philadelphia
Ledger. And the same humane influ-
ences can be depended upon, In all
probability, to prove the falsity of the
dismal predictions of the fatal trend
of commercial progress.

RECONCILED TO CARNEGIE

Francis T. F. Lovejoy, one of the young
partners" in the great Carnegie Steel Co.. who
has Just become reconciled to Andrew Carnegie,
after bitter ten years war, owes his financial
shortage to "Lovejoy's Folly" a magnificent
81 100000 residence he is building in the east
end, Pittsburg and to his heavy investments
in western mining stocks.
Lovejoy began with Carnegie as telegraph
operator. He was polite, accommodating andVa
hard worker who had little to say, especially
about the Carnegie Steel Co. Carnegie recog-
nized his worth and made him a partner in the
steel business Then came the break between
Carnegie and H. c. Frick. Lovejoy, who was
then secretary of the Carnegie Steel Co., sup
ported Mr.. Prick. From that time on until a
few months ago the steel master and Lovejoy
never spoke a word to each other.

of the council a position almost sinecure at
$4,000 year. to secretary of state for the colo

a salary of $4,000 year In his old position
his principal duty was to carry big, two-handed
sword at the opening Of parliament and do his,
best to prevent 1t from getting entangled be-
tween the legs OF some state functionary. This
duty would occupy about half an hour year.
and the radical wing of the government party
have been raising fuss about the salary being
out of all proportion to the services rendered.
There was some danger Of the post being abol-
ished, so II was deemed advisable to provide
Lord Crewe with q position of real responsibility.

The first clew to the innocence of Dreyfus

Commandant Esterhazy, calling upon him to

two years ago that Julian Hawthorne wrote OF
him.

Mr. Hawthorne failed to take into cons'dera-

him from humiliation on several occasions and
which has brought him to the front once more.

 formula seems so very, very simple. MT Walter had a story to tell. He merely told 1t. He told 1t directly, honestly, simply and frankly. Not a word was wasted, not superfuous scene was interjected, fine sentiments and pretty speeches were lacking, of made-to-order epigrams there was none, and, thank heaven, the com edy relief was omitted. In their place was real play of real life, with real human being that trod the earth and breathed the air."
 :II:
 Fred Niblo, traveller, author, ra- contour, footlight philosopher, mem- Der by marriage of the royal family of Cohan," president of the White Rats of America and lecturer-to-be, returned home Saturday, September 19, on the American steamship Phil adelphia, after three months abroad. A fact, carefully guarded up to the present, is that MT Niblo has been the greater part of his time abroad in Darkest Russia" and other parts of Europe accumulating material for the lecture tour upon which he is soon to embark. From court life with it's pomp, circumstances and in trigue, to the very heart of peasant life, from St Petersburg to Siberia and from duma to death chamber, Mir Niblo has seen and studied Rus sia and its existing conditions. Dur ing his visit he became personally acquainted with Count Leo Tolstoi, and in addition to making study of the grand old man" of the czar's empire, he gained from him many side lights of truth on Russian situa tions past and present. In a recent communication to Henry J. Gold smith, his New York attorney, Mir Niblo stated that he had secured ma terial for what he believes will be one of the most picturesque and in teresting, if not startling, lectures ever given on this subject. Through high influence at Washington he ob- tained letters and credentials that made it possible for him also to se- cure pictures in Russia that have heretofore been absolutely prohibited by the government. These he vii: use to illustrate his lecture.
