Strange Death Message.

1t may have been a strange and
tragic coincidence. Some will believe
there was more in 1t than that. The
husband of a Paris woman violinist,
himself a musician, left for the front
shortly after mobilization. His name
was Remy At parting he told his
wife: eff go under l will try to let
you know directly before the official
news reaches you." She scarcely
played any music during his absence.
But the other day she took up her vio-
lin, feeling impelled to play one piece
which he liked above all. She opened
the case, and two strings of the violin
suddenly snapped, the D and the e.
"Re" and mi" she at once thought,
1t was the warning he had said he
would give her. The next day tele-
gram informed her that her husband,
Sergeant Remy, had been killed in
action.

COULD NOT SEE THE FUTURE
Two Men Of Great Inventive Ability
Who Had Not the Quality
Of Foresight.

Not infrequently great inventors do
no comprehend the significance Of the
thing they have produced. An inter-
e5tirIg anecdote OF two famous men Of
Ecifmce whose foresight did not equal
tn cir inventive ability follows.
When Hertz first began to obtain
satisfactory results from his now IA
nous researches into the possibility
Of transmitting electric waves, certain
men Of science suggested that some
day similar vibrations might serve to
transmit messages through space.
Hertz laughed at the hypothesis, and
assured all comers that his expert
ments were for laboratories only.
Now, after q few short years. It 10
hard to find, a single issue Of daily
paper that does not record some note
worthy example of the use Of wireless
telegraphy.
Levassor was the great engineer
who sketched the automobile with
such skill that his design has not been
materially changed to this day. After
Levassor accomplished his historic trip
from Paris to Bordeaux and return, at
the dizzy speed Of about fifteen miles
an hour, his admirers gave him a
banquet. During the toasts, one Of
them. stirred by the spirit of the oc-
casion, rose and enthusiastically called
on the assembly to drink to the ap-
preaching day when carriages should
travel at the speed of sixty miles an
hour. Levassor turned to his near
est neighbor and asked in a quick
undertone, why is it that after every
banquet some people feel called on
to make fools of themselves ?"-LeI

He Was HeaE Careful.

Said western mining man at the
Astor hotel in New York city the other
day, according to the Times: eve have
a bachelors mess in the mining camp
where I'm located, and We usually
have a Chinaman to do the cooking.
Some of the Orientals are fine cooks,
after they get over few of the pecu-
liar ideas they have imbibed from
their own country's oddities in the
culinary line.
Not long ago we got new China
man as cook. A couple of days later
one of the fellows got pedigreed
Irish terrier pup given to him-a real
dog. My friend had to go up to one
of the mines that afternoon, and he
turned the puppy over to the new
Chinaman. You be mighty careful
of this dog he said to the cook. Me
be heap CAREFUL was the answer.
THAT night, at dinner, the new
Chinaman brought on, with great
ceremony, a covered dish.
"'Me heap careful he remarked, as,
with a smile of pride, he removed the
cover.
Underneath was the pedigreed pup,
neatly cooked in the best Chinese

FISH FARMING NEW INDUSTRY
Method Of Livelihood That Is Begin
ming to Attract a Good Deal
Of Attention.

I A new method of livelihood, as well
as new method of living, is afforded
by fish farming, which is a rapidly
growing industry. 1t may be lazy
mans job, but for development be-
yond an addition to the family living,
of course, it takes time and attention.
A running stream or an acre OF pond
can be made to earn more money than
a wefl-tilled 1ive-acre farm, says the
Peoples Magazine. The national
government, as we'll as many states
through their fish commissions, not
only gives free instructions in fish
farming, but will also supply the
young fish or eggs most likely to
thrive best in the locality. But best
of all perhaps is the recognition that
farmers all over the country are COM
Ing to, that a private fish pond Is
splendid source of food supply. 1t was
no long time ago when such thing
had not been thought of. Now gen.
orally there is a comprehension that
such private pond costs little to
maintain, and is almost sure to fur
nish far more fish than any one fami-
ly can eat The demand for fish
adapted to this kind of pond culture
is greater than the supply, and farm
ers enterprising enough to have ponds
have no difficulty in selling the prod
uct. Many farmers sell eggs as well
as fish to other farmers and to the
governments of state and nation.
Private fishing clubs are a great aid
in the same way Fish can be
shipped anywhere If they are kept
cool and moist, and this makes 1t
easy to find a market almost bound"
less in extent. But fish, of course, are
subject to diseases that at times
cause large losses, and the official
fish service is at work constantly
finding out these diseases and their
remedies. Most Of these diseases, 1t Is
said, come through impure water
caused by contaminated streams. II
the water is kept pure, the fish farm
er has little cause for worry az to his

REALLY MATTER OF BLUFF
Just How Most of Public Pests Secure
immunity From Merited
Retributlon.

Once upon a time there was dog
whose delight it was to bark at the
moon. He knew nothing discreditable
concerning the moon, but felt that
he just naturally must show his SUI
periority. So he yapped and yowled
and called it names and made faces at
it by the hour. All this caused the
other animals great annoyance, and at
last they held an indignation meeting.
Something must be done!" was the
general opinion. Let us do it by TAX
ing this measly nuisance out to some
secluded spot and abating him in a
thorough and permanent manner!"
"Stay!" spoke the hog. Let us not
act hastily. l travelled widely in my
younger days, appearing in the dime
museums all over the land as the just
ly celebrated educated pig. ! have
looked this matter up. 1t is true that
the varmint under discussion is an
abomination. Still, he is one of the
pests to whom all the rest of creation
appear to feel compelled to give ear
and deference-men call them reform
ers or agitators, or statesmen, as the
case may be. AS l understand 1t,
there is no way of stopping his bark
ing at the moon except by paying him
to quit. And that, alas! would not give
us permanent relief, for as soon as
he had spent our money he would find
something else to howl about, and we
should have to buy him all over
again."
Moral-From this we should learn
that the average pest secures immu-
nifty from retribution because he has
us bluffed.-Judge

way is just as wonderful now as 1t

"Only yesterday my wife came to
me with a written statement which
she asked me to pass around where 1t
might do the most good. 1t was an
appeal from an organization Of women
who wanted to help the suffering Bel
gians. Nothing new or original in
that, of course, but the foreword to
the appeal was rather unusual
"It stated that whereas 5000 CITIES
and towns had been destroyed in Bel
GUM, 1000 homes had been razed to
the ground and 100000 women and
children were homeless, therefore, and
so forth.
We'll, ! looked at it a minute to
be sure the figures were there and
then / asked my wife If there had
ever been as many as 5000 cities and
towns in Belgium, also If 1000 homes
had been razed to the ground and
100000 women and children were
homeless how could there possibly
ever have been as many as 5000 per-
sons in one home and I was about to
make few remarks.
But Pm goat if my wife didn't
flare up and say that it wasn't mat
