STRANGE Fishing Matches.

In the olden time In England lords
and ladies' sometimes invented queer
amusements. They were always on
the lookout for some novelty. and oee
of the strangest they discovered was
fishing by a goose. A line with q bait
ed hook attached having been fastened
to the goose, tied to its leg, she was
flung into the water from the boat In
which were all the gay lords and la
dies. Then, when a pike caught the
bait, she was sport indeed, royal bat
tie between bird and fish. and all the
time, between the loud splashlngs,
wheelings and 6ounderings, the on
lockers in the boat giving vent to their
feelings 10 cheers. handclappings and
handkerchief waving. But the goose
was usually the victor and ended the
struggle by landing its prisoner on the
shore. where its quack-quack as 1t
cleared itself from the line and wad-
died away ended the scene. The lake
