PLENTY OF FISH IN WALL LAKE
Anglers in This Locality Who Make
Trips to Wall Lake Assured Of
Good Fishing This Season.

Anglers in this locality who an
nually make trips to Wall Lake, will
be more than pleased to learn that
there are three times as many game
fish in the lake at present as there
were last year. Below we print an
article from the Lake View Resort
in relation to this welcome news:
81. J. Woolhiser says that from OBJ
servations made during the last sein.
ing period there are three times as
many fish in the lake as there were
that time last year. Silver bass are
very plentiful, bull heads have in
creased wonderfully and small picker
ell are numerous.
HE also says that there will be
no loss OF fish from suffocation this
winter as in the preceding three Win
tiers. Only one or two little dead
crappies have been observed floating
in the open water near the ice plant.
The mild winter has prevented the
lake from freezing solidly-the east
end having been open all winter.
"The lake is being carefully watched
to prevent the pickerel from run.

from going further. Otherwise when
the water rises the pickerel would go
with the water and deposit their eggs
in the flooded meadows and the wa

the waters of the lake proper, and
this means material increase OF
these fish every year. The time OF
running varies from the first part of
March to the latter part of April, de-
pending upon whether the season is
early or late. Owing to the moderate
winter this year it is probable they
will make the run early"

Cocoa as a Food.

We compare cocoa to vegetable
egg because. like the egg. it contains
everything necessary for the building
of the animal body. When we analyze
cocoa we find it perfect natural food.
Analysis teaches US that it contains a
fair proportion of heterogeneous matter
in the shape of gluten. very large
proportion of fat considerable
AMOUNT of starch. so much mineral
matter and. finally. stimulant of it's
own called theobromine. Cocoa is an
excellent substitute for tea and coffee,
especially to those who are overstimu-
lated by these beverages. Pure cocoa
is easily digested. But be sure that
you get it pure. If you find that one
brand of cocoa does not agree with
you try another until you find the one
which is best fitted for your constitu-
tion:-New York American.

Trials of Compositors.

They tell of a Scottish compositor
who fed from Edinburgh to London
in order to escape the brain exhausting
ordeal of deciphering Carlyle's hero
glyphics and putting them into type. He
had been at work in London for some
time. when one day take" of Car

The sight of it appalled, him. rs that

upon he laid down his composing stick.
put on his coat and hat and vanished.
Balzac's copy was also a nightmare
to compositors. According to the Lon
don Standard. the failure of the estab-
lishment that printed his works was
the direct result of the enormous labor
spent in making corrections in the
proofs of his manuscript What it
meant to put his copy into type is
shown by the fact that Cesar Birot-
teau" had to be reset fifteen times in
twenty days.

Soma Ball Game.

The several members of the family
had been telling what they would do
if they owned the world. Mother
would abolish poverty. Father would
provide absolute justice for all. Sister
Sarah would give every woman the
vote. Finally the views of ten-year-
old Johnny were sought.
What nd l do if I owned the
world?" said he, looking up from a
geography he had been studying.

I'd get old Atlas to sign up two base
ball teams among his brothers and
cousins; then I'd lay out diamond on

In DR.. Wrench's biography of Lord
Lister. the diScoverer of antiseptic
treatment of wounds. the author says
of the great surgeon:
He was ever gentle. courteous and
firm. Trying as are the exactiohs and
responsibilities of an important Surgi-
cal post Lister was never known to
speak sharp word to house surgeon,
dresser or any one in his service His
scientific spirit and discovery attracted
the curiosity of the students and young
graduates of Edinburgh; his personal
nobility won their hearts: his art Of
winning their loyalty was by inspiring
enthusiasm and giving encouragement
Often in the middle of a trying opera
ton wrote one of his pupils a gentle
smile bestowed on us young students

our best as assistants was most en-
couraging.' Many of the students
afterward confessed that their contact
with Lister was the best and purest
influence of their lives"

Mater From the YanQtze.

There is a saying in China that to
make a perfect cup of tea you must
take leaves from Mingshan and wa
ter from the Yangtze. No one suppos-
ed the actual turbid river water to be
meant, but no one could explain the
proverb until De RosthOrn, who wrote
an interesting treatise on Chinese tea.
solved the problem or thought he did
De ROsthOrn was once crossing the
Yangtze near it's mouth. at Chenkiang,
when he saw some men in boat dip
ping water into buckets. He inquired
why they did that and was told that at
the bottom of the bay there was a
spring. remembered since the time
when the present river bed was dry
land, and that this spring water was
highly esteemed in cookery. Here.
then, he concluded, he had found that
special water of the Yangtze which,
with Mingshan leaves, made the best
cup of tea in the world.

population. but they are not nearly as

found in many of the foreign countries
and are more easily exterminated. 1t
