Wbfn the celebrated John Tlmbs of anecdote fame was subeditor of a Lon don newspaper be on day commission oil one of the staff to accompany the bop pickers In Kent and to write for Uio Journal an absolutely veracious ac count of Lis expcrlcDccs. The faithful scribe to whom the task was Intrusted performed bis Job with scrupulous care, and, attired aa a bop picker, h spent whole week among his temporary comrades. In due course he returned to the ed itorial office and produced bis copy. Tlmbs read portion of It and then buret Into great rag. This won't do at all. Mr. Smith," ha exclaimed furiously. "Surely you nust know this Is far too coarse for Insertion In our paper." "I was afraid that might be the caa," calmly replied th reporter. "Do yon think this Is betterT" Saying this. he handed Tlmbs another manuscript Tlmbs perused It and was delighted. The very thing; charming!" he ex claimed. "Ah, I thought you would like that!" said Smith. "That is what I wrote before 1 set outM-Loudon Standard. Birslif th Water." Bom resders will remember the spir ited sccount given by Scott In "Guy M annerlng" of the form of salmon Ash ing that used to be known as "burning th water." It waa a favorite amuse ment In England, Scotland and Wales. The practice la no longer legal and can be Indulged In only at the risk of pen altlea, with the dlwrace which at tacbe to thluss denounced as un sportsmanlike. Torches were uxed, and the salmon were speared by the thrust of a weupon having barbed prone?, called a leister. Scott again muy be quoted for his description of the spear log of salmon from horseback In tbe Sol way. Th Tweed, which was the river of bis lifelong affectiona, waa one of the worst sufferers from "burn ing the water" In the days when It was permitted, and It waa computed tbat thousands of salmon were annual ly taken by this form of capture. The water may be "burned" even now here and there, and in Wales a few years ago there was a short lived revival of th practice. Mil of Crta.

One day In the cloakroom of the sen ate, apropos of a discussion whether, from an Intellectual standpoint, states men of the present fall below the standard set by those of the past, one of tbe members told the following story: "There lived In Lee county, Ky., a local aage by the name of Jeaae Cole. Jess entertained th notion that the present day typ of lawyer was not to b compared with tbe Jurists of the otd days. One day as be waa entering the courthouse at Beattyvllle he notic ed a group of lawyers who were dis cussing tbe points of a caa that wa to come up that day. Cole, disgusted by their conversation, stepped up to them and aald: "'Gentlemen, thirty or forty years ago the lawyers In this state were men-great, big. Immense men, wear ing far bats as big as bushel baskets. But now, gentlemen, I honestly believe that a fellow could without the least difficulty draw a tomato can over tha bead of any on of you.'

A member of one of the government parties which Journeyed through Alas ka during the Klondike rush, says the author of "Through the Yukon Gold Diggings," waa horrified at the lack of entertainment and good literature aVallable for the miners. "Doesn't It get very dull here?" he asked of an old miner at Forty Mile. "What do you do for amusement?" "Do?" echoed the miner gravely. "Do? Why, blesa you, we 'ave very genteel amusements!
