Fish as They Bite.

eff you will take the time to investi-
gate" said an old time angler who has
observed as he fished, you will find
that the full stomached trout in your
catch will outnumber the empty stom-
ached ones ten to one This would
seem to indicate that it is the trout
which has already dined well that is
eager for more, while the one which
has not dined at all regards it with in
difference. In other words, 1t is the
satiated trout that bites and the hun
cry one that -paradoxical prop
osition. And this odd circumstance is
not confined to brook trout Pickerel
not only swollen with food, but having
the tails of fish they have since caught
protruding from their mouths because
there is as yet no room for the newly
taken victims in the capacious pickerel
nav, will yet voraciously seize the
tempting live bait of the fisherman, as
any angler who has fished much for
pickerel has doubtless had frequent
proof. New York Sun.

A Book Accident.

When M. Henri, a quaint and shabby
miser of threescore and ten, died in
Paris some time ago, the closest search
for treasure revealed nothing more val
liable than two shelves of dingy look
ing books, which were sold, with his
few sticks of furniture, to pay his fu-
neral expenses. When the buyer of the
books examined his purchase he discov-
cred to his amazement two volumes of
rare value-absolutely unique in the
whole history of books-every page in
each of them consisting Of a five pound
sterling note of the Bank of England.
In all there were 500 pages, neat ac-
cident of $20,50O

Restless Animals.

Zen you see the animals in the
Tx menageries pacing back and forth
Testlessly in their cages, do not take 1t
for granted that the creatures are I'M
happy or even discontinued. 1t may be
that the lion or the tiger or the polar
bear that moves about with apparently
ceaseless activity Is only taking his
daily exercise, without which he would
pine and die soon. When the wild
creatures are in their native jungles
they are kept pretty busy hunting food.
Thus each day they walk many miles
perhaps. In their narrow cages In the
parks they are plentifully supplied
with food, but their brawny bodies still
demand a great amount of exercise.
Mile after mile is paced off daily by
the uneasy creatures. Usually they
move with long, swinging stride, but
when mealtime comes around then the
step quickens until when the keeper
appears with his baskets of meat the
tigers and lions and other animals leap
against their bars and growl and whine
and lash their tails. In fact, they act
like great hungry boys do after long
days tramp If they find that supper is
late.

such a success that the burning liquid

an alarm was sent in. The fire was
put out ere serious loss resulted.

The HOLY Carpet of Turkey.

The holy carpet of Turkey is a gor-
geous piece of red velvet embroidered
with gold. 1t takes a year to make the
carpet, and the sultan of Turkey then
intrusts it to the Egyptian pilgrims to
place on the tomb of the prophet at
Mecca. AT the end of that time 1t is
replaced by another carpet and is re-
turned to Cairo with great ceremony.
The right to carry the carpet has been
handed down from camel to camel in
the male line for hundreds of years.
