day his father offered him so cents
If he would put on his bathing suit

Myself and Me.

I'm the best pal that ever had.
l like to be with me;
like to sit and tell myself
Things contidentially.
l often sit and ask me
II l shouldn't or l should,
And find that my advice to me
Is always pretty good.
l never got acquainted with
Myself till here of late;
And find myself bully chum,
l treat me simply great.
1 talk with me and walk with me,
And show me right and wrong;
/ never knew how well myself
And l could get along.
/ never try to cheat me;
I'm as trustful as can be
No matter what may come or go,
I'm on the square with me.
It's great to know myself; and have
A pal that's all your own;
To be such company for yourself,
You're never left alone.
You'll try to dodge the masses,
And you'll find the crowds a joke,
II you'll only treat yourself as well
AS you treat other folk.
I've made a study of myself,
Compared with me the lot,
And I've finally concluded
I'm the best friend I've got.
Just get together with yourself
And trust yourself with you,
And you'll be surprised how well yourself
Will like you If you do.

Edward c. Pope Of Manchester
writes the Journal as follows:
In your issue Of May Is, under
Maine Gossip" you tell of "a curios-
lty somewhat resembling
an alligator nine inches
long, with bright yellow spots along

Great Pond. This creature is a
spotted Salamander. (Amblystoma
punctatum) and is an Amphibian.
like the frogs. but is much more
closely related to the nevis or sala {.
rnanders Of our streams, commonly
mlscalled lizards. The spotted sala.
mander is not rare in this State, but
IS not often seen, because it is a night
1eeoer, lying concealed in moist spots
during the day. At this time Of year
IT may be found in pools and puddles.
at night where it goes to deposit its
eggs, which occur in roundish masses
or transparent jelly, resembling frog
spawn. The young, when first
Matched. swim freely in the water and
breathe by means Of fringed gills on
the sides Of the head. When they
have attained length of two or three
lnches. they begin to breathe by
means of lungs. the gills are gradu-
ally absorbed. and the youngsters be-
gin to travel about on land. have
Kept two or these salamanders in a
glass tank in the house for two or
three years past, with plants and
moist moss for shelter. They are
very tame, and will eat quantities Of
earthworms, slugs, and insects, but
are not very active.
Rev. w. H. Ramsay OF Wellesley
Hills. Mass, and James Innes, the
well-known illustrator, returned to
Boston Thursday after a few days
fishing at Clearwater pond. Mr..
Innes landed an S-pound salmon
measuring % inches in length. 1t was
a racer. and if properly nourished
would have weighed four Or five
pounds more. On at least two pre-
ious occasions the salmon had been
hooked, but escaped capture. The
two old hooks were imbedded in the
fish's jaw. One was nearly rusted
away, while the other was acquired
more recently, the smell being still at
tached. The position Of one Of the
hooks interfered with the action of
the salmon's jaws ard probably ac-
counted for the slim condition Of the
