Want Pedisrees With Fish.

"It's getting so I almost have to give a pedigree with every mounted fish that I sell in my store, "s said the taxidermist. When the fishing season starts a great number of rodmen who spend their summers in Maine como into my shop and purchase a few mounted large specimens of fish to decorate their camps.
 Generally when sell a specimen to man who wishes to decorate his fish, ing lodge I have to give the buyer a lot of details about the fish. He always wants to know exactly where 1t was caught, whether it fights hard when 1t is on the line, how large the specie grows and all the details concerning the f1sh's peculiarities, so when the mount is placed on the wall of the rodman's cabin he can answer all the questions put to him by his guests. One man told me that last summer he had the walls of his camp covered with mounted fish that he bought in the city and when his guests Ques- tiOned him about them he became em- barrassed as he could not give any de tails about them. He told me that this summer he had a good story all pre- pared for each specimen" York Sun.

OLD MYSTERY OF THE SEA
What Became of Fine Liner Presi- dent Which Disappeared In
 the Year 1s417

Among the modern sea mysteries none is more baffling than the vanish ing of the liner President in 1841. The vessel was the latest word in lux urious ocean travel, having but lately been launched. And that day in March when she sailed from New York for Liverpool every vessel in the North river paid tribute to her size and su- periority. She was 268 feet long and of 2,36O tons.
 Early In April reports began tO Alter into America from Liverpool that the President had not arrived, and as the days sped on far into the summer the agony of suspense on both sides the ocean grew. On her passenger list had been the names of many prOmi- nent persons, among whom were the celebrated comedian, Tyrone Powers, George c. Goldman and the duke of Devonshire. A few more than 100 passengers were aboard the President.
 Whether the President fOundered in some violent gale, was sunk or crushed by icebergs, or was destroyed by fire, no man to this day has been able to tell, for not even a splinter of wreckage was ever reported seen.

THE STAR IN THE DAYTIME
It Is There, and Once Found May Be Seen by Any One Who knows
 How to Look.

The curious thing about the star was that once you found 1t, looked right at 1t and kept your attention fixed upon 1t you could see it clearly If you had the right kind of eyes. Lots of people couldn't see 1t at all, some because they were blinded by the garish light of an extraordinarily bright and sunny morning. The sky was a bOttomless sea of azure; the clouds that swept across, melting into shifting wisps and fecks or vanishing altogether as the sunshine ate them up, ShOne like new snow. The flutter- ing flags on tall poles distracted your gaze. But if you did get into a shad- owed place or down in the depths of che canyons between the towering building, carefully worked out the ex- act location and fixed your gaze there you saw the star, glittering like . diamond in the blue.
 Then 1t came to you afresh that after all the stars are there all the time, passing stately across the sky, sending out their steady stream of light, as much and as truly in the glare of the brightest day as against the velvet blackness of the darkest night It is not their fault If we do not see them. It Is the fault of our eyes, filled with the blaze of things, or of the earth-bOrn clouds that shut us in. Also, we do not trouble in the daytime to look at, or for, the stars. Only those who look, out of the depths of canyons or at the bot tom of narrow vistas, see the stars in the daytime.
 In the daytime we are all-pOwerful. In the awe of loneliness of night we pray. each after his own fashion:
 Nov I lay me down to sleep;
 pray the Lord my soul to keep" AS If to say: While am awake and on the job, can take care of myself. While the sun is shining, never mind the stars" The prayers of most of us come out of our fears.
 Suddenly comes a day when we dis cover that, whether we look for it or not, the star is overhead and shining, regardless of our seeing. And we real. ize then that if your eyes are open and intent we can see it and steer by ft-unless we suffer the garishness of the day to blind us to its glittering presence.
