Education enables a man to land on
his feet when he falls in the hole.
The man who insists on it and has
his own way, invariably makes an
enemy by it.
Strange that some people who have
a genius for hunting trouble never think
OF going into politics.
The average cynic got that way by
failing to make good; streak Of luck
often turns him into an optimist.

Dancing For Salmon-Words to Be
Avoided When Batting
Hook.

In British Columbia the Indians
tremendously went to meet the first
salmon and in flattering voices tried
to win their favor by calling them all
chiefs.
Every spring in California the Kar-
axis used to dance for salmon. Mean
while one Of their number secluded
himself in the mountains and tasted
for ten days. Upon his return he SOL
emnly approached the river, took the
first salmon Of the catch, ate some
Of it and with the remainder lighted
a sacrificial fire. The same Indians
laboriously climbed to the mountain
top after the poles for the spearing
booth, being convinced that if they
we're gathered where tie salmon
were watching no fish would be
caught.
Very widespread, in fact, is this
native belief IF the necessity Of cau-
ton whenever Adam is on fishing
bent.
In Japan among the primitive race
