Organizing the Pothunter.

 A New Jersey editor, a thorough sportsman, says Wild Life, recently re- .ceived from q reader WhO desired to take a fish by questionable means a letter that contained this request:
 'Please advise me how to dynamite stream"
 The newspaper man sent the follow. ing advice:
 Four sticks of dynamite are suffi. cient Tie them securely around your neck, attach fuse, light it and run as fast as you can away from the water to avoid injuring the other snakes anL reptiles"

HElNz'S GREAT COLLECTION
Ivory Carvings Owned by Pittsbursher Are Declared to Be Almost
 Priceless,

During many years II. ]. Heinz or Pittsburgh has gathered together one of the finest collections of ivory carN- ines in America. There are probably dozen notable collections Of this sort in the country, and among thrm the Heinz group of 800 pieces holds distinguished rank. says writer in Scribner's.
 As a rich and fascinating field for $ discriminating collector, ivory cary ings are perhaps without q peer. Exc cutCd in material that has always been costly, too rare, as d rule, 10 be subjected to poor or mediocre Work- manship, they may well be considered as typical of tie artistic development of the time in which they were pro- duced. They represent the art, more over, not of one people, of one period, hut. it is scarcely an eXaggeration to say, of all peoples and all periods.
 From prehistoric ages down through the civilizations of Egypt and ASsyrla and of classic Greece and Rome have come priceless examples of sculptured worries. The dark ages of Europe, so meager in artistic treasures, have be- queathed us an unbroEen chain oi ivory carvings. Much of the most in- teresting of such work must be acered- tied to the centuries of the Gothic re- yival, the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth. The Renaissance aud the centuries succeeding have yielded | wealth of carved worries of great rich ness and beauty. From India, China and Japan come worries of deep his toric interest and especially in the work of Japan, of genuine artistic achievement.
 Periods Of exceptional turbulence, such as the fall of Consrantinople. tie reformation in England and the French revolution, have caused the destruction of incomparabie treasures. That so much has survived seems cause for wonder. The explanation lies ill the very nature of the carvings.

TOOK FLING AT BOOSTERS
Visitors Suggestion Probably Did Not Tend to Make Him Popular
 in Los Angeles.

Merle Sidcner, local advertising man, recently returned from West ern trip in which he visited the city of Los Angeles. He was impressed with the boosting of the Los Angeles citizens and said he learned that an Oregon colonel from Portland was the guest of honor at d banquet in Los Angeles. The usual after-dnner speeches were made, all boosting the city of Los Angeles, but each speaker regretted that Los Angeles had not been founded on the coast. The speak CTS all said that had the city been on the coast instead of ten miles or SD from it, the city would be the garden spot of the world. The visiting colo nel was called on to speak and said:
 "Gcntlemen, am impressed with your city as much as you are and be- Iieve that I can suggest a way in which you can accomplish your wish
 All of the citizens present leaned forward eagerly, for this Was no doubt the solution that had long been Wait ing for. The colonel continued:
 '.This is what you should do. OD- tain q large pipe, run it from the cen ter of your city into the ocean and if you can suck as hard as you can blow the ocean will soon be in your city."- Indianapolis News.

COLONEL HAD LAST WORD
Officers Joke Was All Right Until the Commander Got Tired of
 Hearing 1t.

A well-knoWn French colonel had a mania for questioning his officers about their families, invariably starting off with: 'What is your fathers profes- sion, your mothers, and your sis ter's?"
 Some of the subalterns became so weared of this endless repetition that they decided among themselves to give each in turn the following reply 1: -''My father is a shoemaker, my moth CT is a laundress, and my sister is very flighty."
 On the following Sunday, after the customary church parade, the colonel, who had already received the same answer to his questions from two or three of the officers, turned to another and started off in the old stereotyped strain: What is your fathers profes- SiOn?'
 ''I1e is a shoemaker.'
 "And your mother's?"
 'She is laundress."
 "That will do,' interrupted the colonel, q know the rest; your sis ter is tiighty, and you will consider yourself confined to barracks until she behaves better!''

SHE WAS GRATEFUL, AnYWAl
And the Young Ladys Error Was Quite Natural, Under the
 Circumstances.

Edward Barrett, state geologist who lives at Thirty-sixth and Meridian streets, was on q Meridian Heights ear on his way home recently. At Massachusetts avenue young couple got on the car. They appeared to be very attentive and devoted to each other. There were only two vacant seats on the car one at the side of MT. Barrett, and the other on the opposite side of the car. The young woman sat down in one of the vacant seats and the young man in the other, but too far away to talk to the young woman.
 The couple looked at each other with longing eyes, as if they wished to sit together. The car was rattling along at noisy rate, which made it iinpos- sible for one person to talk to another any distance away. MT. Barrett mo- tioned with his fingers to the young man, and pointed to the seat he was occupying, and also to the seat the young man was occupying indicating n change of seats.
 The young man gladly accepted the prOffered change of seats, and soon the two were seated together and en- toying euch others talk. The car stopped at the next crossing and Mr. Barrett was surprised and amused to hear the young woman mu"mur to the young man, as both looked at NIr. Bar rett with thanks in their eyes:
 Ut was so kind of that doaf and dumb man to give you his seat"
 And the car jostled on.-lndianapo- lis News.

He says the swallows have q glorious time following the balloons and catching these insects.-Scientitic American.

Policeman Apo,od;zes,

Released by the signal of the traffic policeman, the stream of vehicles was surging through Market street when a young woman in new car drove up Broad street. She. pulled out to pass the other cars that had halted and kept on her way, pumping the horn shrilly and insistently: II blew the horn loudly enough; why didn't you make those cars stop and let me byy' she frcezingly asked the policeman after he had rescued her.

Cure for Tuberculosis Claimed.

An Italian physician, Prof. Domenico To Monaco, announces that he has evolved remedy for consumption. The base of his discovery lies in his finding that sugar applied to the bton- chial secretions caused the disappear ance not only of the secrctions but CT tubercle bacilli as well. The impar- tance of this lies in that the bronchial secretion is held to be a necessary Ve- hicle for the existence and growth of consumption germs.
