The most exciting nsh story, that is well authenticated, heard so far this season, comes from Massena, where Orvllle A. Baboock, a famous fisherman of that section, had a battle royal the other night with a mon ster sturgeon. A few nights ago Qrville, rtWho was passing near the racks of one of the Massena canal power houses, saw a sturgeon of gigantic proportions in the foaming waters near the racks. Orville took a rope, and, after a half hour's trial, succeeded in getting a noose over the sturgeon's tail. For another half hour he fought to tire the fish out, and finally, -when it lay quiet against the racks, he got down, rested One knee on the girt of the gatehouse wall, and, with his shoulder against the racks, reached down into the water to pull the sturgeon out. After hauling the . fish well up out of the water, he found that he was unable to secure a hold low-' er down on the slimy monster, on ac count of having to cling to the girt with one hand. He got a firm grip with his teeth on the tail of the fish, but the denizen of the deep gave a flop and tore loose, leaving a hunk of the tail between Orville's jaws. After another 20 min utes' wrestle, the noose was slipped over the head of the fish, and Orville hauled him out. He tipped the beam at. 104 pounds.

COST OF LIVING HIGH PBICES OF ALL FOODvPBODUCTS ABE INCREASING, Bureau of Labor Issues a Bulletin Showing Increase in Recent - years Steady Climb. Since 1900. Washington. Prices of fuel, cloth ing, and practically all food products are constantly increasing, acording to a bulletin just issued by tic bureau of labor, covering the period from 1890 to 1904. In the early '90s prices were very high, but in the last four years they have been steadily increasing, un til now they are relatively higher than in 1892, just before the memorable financial and commercial depression. The period of lowest prices was from 1894 to 1897. The lowest price of beef was .in April, 1896, when the best choice was quoted at $3.85 to $4.25- per hundred pounds. The highest price was the lat ter part of August, 1902, when the price touched . $7.60 to $9 per hundred pounds. .Corn was lowest in 1886 and highest in 1892. In a table of comparison, in which the average price for the years 1890 to 1899 is taken as the basis, 16 articles of farm production, including sheep, cattle'; hay, hogs, hides and grains, are enumerated. , All except flax seed in creased, over the average price from 1890 to 1899. The increase in prices in 1904 ranges from 7.8 per cent, on sheep and 9.7 per cent on cattle to 32.6 per cent, on corn, 35.8 per cent, on oats, 38.3 per cent, on wheat, and the top increase of 96.2 per cent. on. New York state tops. The average increase in 1904 in the wholesale price of farm products over the average for the years 1890 and 1899 is 26.2 per cent. Of 52 articles included under the head of food it is shown that the 1904 price of all but 14 articles was higher than the average price of the same from 1890 to 1899. Seventy articles under the head of cloth and clothing show that vtre Aver age price for 1904 was 9.8 per cent higher than the average from 1890 to 1899. The table" on Juel and lighting places the average 1904 price at 32.6 per cent, higher than the 1830 to 1899 Pric . . . MINIATURE JAP GARDENS. Made in Ibis Country and Used to Decorate the Sinner Table for American Society. The little Japanese gardens dis played in the windows of florists are made in this country, but by Japanese artists. ' ' "We import the dwarf plants and trees used for the purpose from Japan," said one dealer to a New York Sun reporter. "The gardens are constructed by Jap anese men here whom we employ for the work. "How much are they? The ones that you see here range from $3 to $6. We have more expensive ones. These are the $6 ones in these round terracotta' pots. "Some people use them for jar dinieres for the center of the din ing table. The coloring is rich and good and the little gardens al ways interest people." Only Japanese art could achieve these wonderful miniature gar dens, many of them not more than eight inches across. A perfect illusion of extensive landscape is won by the clever placing of the tiny dwarfed trees, the artful twists given to wee grav eled paths, the carefully arranged vistas. The smallest gardens are, as a rule, grown in little shallow por celain dishes of pretty design and coloring. The larger gardens are grown in shallow earthenware pots, bowl shaped. Flooded with bright sunshine the gardens show off to the best advantage. "I love mine in the sunset light," says a woman who is so devoted to her garden that she has had a spe cial high stand made for it to rest on in a bow window, where it may catch an admirable all round light. "The effect of the golden light through the little old pine trees is stunning, and orange streaks slip over the little lawns in just the way they do over real lawns. "When dusk comes the garden is delightful, so dark and boskv and cool. And in the moonlight? Well, you just ought to see . the moonlight on my garden, lighten- up the dearest little white pagoda on the side of a steep hill. "My garden's poetry to me all the time. Through it I keep sense of summer near me all through the winter months." LIBRARIANS OF OLD AGES. As an Armory to & Castle So Was tht Library to the Ancient -' Monastery. The librarian was sworn into office on the holy gospels, aS be came one whose duty it is to fur nish to those who have need the "food"'and "weapons" of the soul for so they used to call books. "Books are the nourishment of the soul," says one abbot, speak ing of the library of his convent; and another says: "As the ar mory is to the castle, so the library is to the monastery." The very name librarian, "armarius," de rived as it is from the press, cup board or almeric in which the books are kept, is precisely the - -i modem word almoner moner serves from his cupboard food and drink for the needy, so the librarian deals out books, which are the food and drink of the soul, says Harper's Magazine. In the beginning the librarian was, curiously enough as it sounds at first, the precentor or choir master, but .the explanation of this is, in fact, simple enough; since the first books were, the service books kept in the apse cupboard in the church, the pre centor was naturally charged lection grew by the addition f nthpr hnnt- ktt tW growth mnflA niwvf-in f labor necessary.. The ordinary duties of librari- ans are often laid down with great minuteness in monastic rules; they differ greatly in detail but not much in essence from those of the modern; he must take charge of the books, "keep and know un der their separate titles," fre quently examine caref ully to pre ventdamage from damp, dust, mice'and "moth worms," and re pair them when damaged. He must lend books to the brethren, enter sueh loan carefully in his register, and see that a sufficient deposit is left for its return, or proper bond given. . Cuttlefish Have Been Found with Beach of Thirty-Eight Feet KUl Victims. Of all the big game of the deep sea that have been taken by man the cuttlefishes are the most dia bolical in shape and general ap pearance. I have handled and measured one that was 38 feet in length, a weird, spiderlike crea ture with two antennaelike arms 30 feet in length, says a writer in Metropolitan Magazine. Speci mens of these animals have been, caught 70 feet in length, the cap tors fighting them with an ax, cut ting the arms which seized and held the boat. Off the coasts of California and Alaska there is a big deep sea ally of this animal a big spiderlike octopus that haunts the deep banks, preying upon the fishes most esteemed by fishermen. It is found off the Farralones on rock bottom and at times the fishermen haul in their lines thinking thai they have fouled a stone or rock, so heavy is the weight, but when the surface is reached long, livid arms shoot above the water, seize the boat and the men are forced to fight with knives and hatchets the weird, uncanny game that has a radial spread of 30 feet, its eight sucker-lined arms being 15 feet in length and possessed of ex traordinary power. A specimen taken off the island of San Cle mente had a spread of about 20 feet and gave the boatman a hard battle to sever its flying arms. Nothing more diabolical can be conceived than this splderlik? giant of the deep sea, living amonjr the recks GOO to 1,000 feet below the surface. An individual of moderate size which I kept alive displayed the. greatest pugnacity. The - moment I approached it would literally hurl itself at my arm, winding its 'long tentacles about it in a manner'suggestivo of what a large individual might do. Indeed, Dr. A. S. Packard, professor of zoology at Brown uni versity, says: "An Indian woman at Victoria, Vancouver islandj in 177, was seized and drowned by an octopus, probably of this species, while bathing on the shore. Smaller specimens on coral reefs some times seize collectors, or natives, and. fastening to them with their relentless suckered arms, tire and frighten to death the hapless vic tim." i REYNOLDS AND HIS RIVAL Contrast Between the Two Artists Difference Between Art and Nature. The contrast between these two artists is almost the difference be tween art and nature, says St. Nicholas. Reynolds was learned in what other painters had done, and had reduced his own art to a sys ¬ tem. Gainsborough found out almost everything for himself; never lost the simple, natural way of looking at things and people; and painted not according to rule, but at the dictates of what he felt. Reynolds planned out his effects, ' (Tp.i:isbprq-.!h painted on the spur of the. lrup.ession which the sub ject aroused. Reynolds' art was Jsased.on safe general principles; Gainsborough's was the fresh and spontaneous expression of ' his temperament depending, that is to say,-on. feelings rather than on calculation. His temperament, or habit of mind, was dreamy and poetic, gentle and retiring, includ ing a small range of experience. iteyno:as, on the other, hand, was a man of the world and of. business capacity; intimate with Samuel Johnson, Oliver Goldsmith and ! f1' ebnties of the day; a man of knowledge and clever conversa- tional Pwer, whose pictures by their variety prove his versatility Consequently when the Royal academy was established, in 1768, he was elected president bv ac clamation and was knighted bj yt ' TIT , j : i ueu-i;f in., an nonor mat nas eve;- since been bestowed On the holder of this office, These two men were at the head 'of the group of portrait painters :-who, in the latter part of the eight eenth century and in the early .j'ears of the succeeding one, added luster to the new growth of art in England, - Bunyan in 105 Languages. i One book alone, the "Pilgrim's Progress," holds the record for !
