WEIGHING A LIVE TROUT.
K.eeptlve Apiiearaix o. In Blie, of tile Fish
t Largo in tne muter.
A few davs ago a party of anglers
visited the ha tubing house of the state
Hli commission at Cold Spring liar
bor. Long Island and were estimating
th wciirht of the larger trout which
vere swimming at their feet, says the
n'cw York Hun. One very large speci
nm attracted their attention, anil
.etcran aiv-'ler said: "That fellow wil
veigh six pounds."
"ltet yon a cigar that it won't go ovei
'our," said another.
"I'll split the difference with each of
ou and take both figures tnat itie nsi
vill weigh over and under six pounds,
.aid a third.
Just then the superintendent, Mr
ed Mather, came out of the buildiug
nd at once thov appealed to hlra
horus: "Major,
how much will tha
Ish weigh?"
"About eight pounds," was the reply
Hut I see you look incredulous. We'l
nd his weight precisely. To ter, sail
he superintendent to one of his men
get all hands, the deep seine, a wash
ub and the scales. (Set out the big
rout and weigh it."
Within ten minutes the net brought
up a mess of great trout, which were
allowed to escape, all except the big
one. The wnshtub, two feet in diam
eter, was sunk under it, then lifted
and the party saw within It a miigiiin
,nt -,,.,.! trout that conl 1 r-t c
oiut its tail within tue limits of its
confinement, whose breadth and depth
were surprising. The angler w ho had
bet on six pounds wanted to make
it twelve, and the four-pound man be
anie interested ill the Dock of wood
lucks and teal nour by, which are one
if the sights of the place. "A tish in
the water," said Maj. Mather, "never
looks as large as w hen out of it. The
lepth is greatly foreshortened, and
even the length and hreadth do not
seem to show their full extent. Boys,
weigh the tub."
A pole over the shoulders of two men
held the scales, and when they
straightened up and the tub w ith its
contents cleared the ground, the scale
Indicated liiucty-t wo pounds. The
tish was then carefully lifted out and
sent swimming away, ond the tub and
water pulled the scales at eighty-three
pounds, leaving nine pounds as the
weight of the trout.
"That Ilsh." said the major, "is the
common brook trout of ICnrope. 1 im

tish with the nV in t.ie 'lllaek 1'orest'

"Snakes don't grow very big up our
way," said ex-Sheriff Warren Kalama
tao Eidway, of Pike county, Pa., to 6
New York Sun man, "but they grow
uncommon smart. I've seen 'em do
lots of cute things, the most of which
I have kept to myself, because I hare
always been on good terms with my
neighbors, and my business is such that
I can't afford to have them weaken in
their confidence in me they, like all
Pike county folks, beinff simple and
unsophisticated and unable to appre

passing away without putting on rec
ord at least a few of the evidences of
genius I hare seen in the Bnakes that
live up our way. i
"A friend of mine, who lived back in
the High Knob country, captured a
young blacksnake once and made a
pet of it. The snake got as tame as a
kitten and had the run of the premises, i
One day he got egg hungry, and he j
stole an egg from under a setting hen I
and swallowed it. The egg was just
on the eve of hatching, and the chick
picked its wa y out of the egg as it lay
inside the snake, and not finding day
light yet kept on picking until it had

nicked a hole through the snake and
tuck its head out. That was as far aa
it could get, and there it stuck. The
snake didn't like It at first, but by and
by the novelty of the situation soemed cuos;s (or Canoer, but latterly the mi

that strange living protuberance. My j ea8e waSi Between the 14th of last
friend didn't interfere, curious to see
what the result of that singular com-
panionship would be. The chicken and
the snake grew very fona ol one an- .
other, and it was worth a farm to see
'em iro to sleep together, the snake
turning its head back and snuggling i
down bv the chickens heaa. ine
snake kept the chick well supplied
with food, catching flies and worms
and insects of various kinds, and pass
ing them back to the chicken by the
hundred. The chicken grew like
weed, and along toward the end of a
summer the blacksnake's body -was
pouched out like a Bmall hand satchel
where the chicken was spreading out,
and the latter's neck stretched nearly
six inches above the snake's back. It
was the funniest sight you ever saw,
and touching too, the two creatures
doted on each other so. But their end
was sad.
One day along in August the snake
and his friend were taking a nap.
Presently the chicken woke up,
stretched his neck to its full length;
and got rid of its first crow. The first
row of a young rooster, even wnen ne
has the aid that seems to be in the
JonDinar of his incipient wings, is al
wavs a heartrending performance, and
as this rooster couldn't use his wings
his first crow was real spooky. The
snake woke up with a start. He looked
wildly about. He was scared and no
mistake, but finally made up his mind
that he had been dreaming, and set
tled down to finish his nap. He had
scarcely closed his eyes when the
young rooster, encouraged by his first

much as ten feet, his eyes full of ter

he were flying from an avenger. Ho

wildly and panted like a hot dog. inc
chicken seemed to enjoy the perform
ance hugely, aud, while the snake was
still trembling, he let go another crow.
Then the snake discovered wnere
the queer noise was coming from, and
he turned a look on the chicken that
was terrible in its rcproachfulncss.

snake's face.
The snake struck at the chickens'
head, but missed it. The chicken got
mad and clipped the snake in the neau
with his bill. And then it went, incy
tumbled and fought around that yard
for five minutes. Then they suddenly
became quiet. The snake had got the
chicken's head in his mouth and swal
lowed it. neck and all. He had killed
his friend, but had choked himself to
death in doing It."

The Origin! 8urlpturs.
The Scriptures were first written ou
skins, linen cloth or papyrus, and
rolled up as we do engravings. The Old
Testament was written in the old He
brew character an otfshoot of the
Phoenician. It was a symbol htnguage
aa written, having no vowels. The
consonants only were written and the
vowel sounds supplied by the voice.
The words ran together in a continuous
line. After the Hebrew became a
dead language vowels were supplied to
preserve usage, which was passing
away. After the Itubylonish captivity
the written Hebrew was moditlod by
the Aramaic, and schools of reading
taught the accent and emphasis. Then
came the separation of words from
trach other, then division Wo verr.

According to a local tradition, proba

its name in a peculiar fashion. The
settlers were gathered iu debate upon
the shore trying to agree upon a name
for the place, and one after another
proposed his suggestion with "Say,
how'll this do?" After many sugges
tions had been rejected, some one, bar
ren of imagination but sensitive of ear,
proposed that the oft-repeated word
'say" be made the first syllable of the
name and ta;.t villo Kt added as the

Consumption now carries off five per
thousand persons in France, or one
hundred and seventy thousand a year,
says the London L)iK;mtc!i. In Eng
land the mortality lias fullcu to two
per thousand. The towns where this
scourge is most intense are Paris, where
the mortality from it is one out of five
deaths; Dijon and Nancy, where it is
one out of seven, and Marseilles, where
it is one out of six. At the Protestant
congress at Havre, held to study spe
cial questions in a practical manner,
Dr. Gilbert, who is a consumptive spe
cialist, said that drunkards are partic
ularly subject to it. There is a drunk
ard's phthisis. Now, the habitations
of inebriates are dirty and ill-kept,
nnd cleanliness is a great obstacle to
the spread of contagious diseases. In
La Cite Havralse. or mansions built for
working-class tenants, the mortality
from consumption is very high, not-
withstanding the hygienic principles
according to which the architect '
worked. There were five out of twelve
deaths from consumption. This might
be explained from the tenants' habit
of spitting about. A woman's dress
that swept the spuma of a consumptive
on the stairs picked up the germs,
which she inhaled when brushing the
garment. Dr. Gilbert is, for this rea
son, against tenement houses or man
sions for the poor. The shaking of
clothes and bedding from the windows
and balconleR was another source of
contagion. The subject of dogs as a
means of propagating consumption
was also gone into. A report of Frof.

March and the 7th of April eight dogs
at Alfort of tuberculosis. From
the 1st of October, 1891, to the 1st of
August, 1803, he made forty post mor-
terns out of nine thousand, and found
in all the forty cases tuberculosis to be
the cause of death. The disease is
very catching from a dog. It origin
ates in the intestinal mucus, because
dogs eat bones picked by tubercular
patients and lick up what they leave
on plates. They also keep about them
if attached to them and in this way
some get affected through the lungs.
If the dog is often contaminated by
the human patient he in turn spreads
the disease to other human beings.
PUSHING TRADE IN AMERICA.
Maay Tricks Resorted to by Earopswn
DesUexs In tVlnel and Llqa rs.
There is a trick in the champag-ne,
and in fact in all wine and liquor
trades, known as "pushing." A French
house whlc h easts envious eyes on the
American market has to "push" its
wine to get it sold here. The agents
resort to all manner of expedients to
sell their wine. They give prizes to
head bartenders, stewards, etc. They
create a fictitious demand by asking
for a corta'n bra"d ii hotels ard res
taurants where that particular brand
is not in stock. They employ their
men to "make the rounds" and do the
same thing. When they are with a
crowd they order their own brand, pay
for it and make the rest of the paity
drink it. Then, of course, the next
man who orders calls for the same
wine. This "pushing" of wines makes
it impossible to judge of the American
taste for anv one particular cliam-
pagne. One brand may be "pushed"
into demand one year and allowed to
fall from grace in the next. Ihe idea,
according to the New York Tribune
is to spend a great deal of money one
year In getting a wine before the pub
11c and then to make a large profit on
succeeding years. It is living on one's
reputation. So that if the sale of a
few brands increases from year to year
that is not a fair estimate from which
to draw conclusions, and the same
holds true if the sale of a few brands
decreases. ' But when we take twenty
three American agents and compare
their sales for two years we get a good
idea of the whole trade in this eountry.
Outside of those twenty-three houses
all other agents in this country
brought here in 1893 only 9.8C6 cases,
Last year "all other agents" imported
9.3B7. The imports for 1893 of twenty-
three agents and all others were 850,
633 cases, but last year they fell off to
278,530. Thia is a decrease of 73,103
cases, representing wine which would
cost the consumer over U3,000,0OO. But
a consumption of 378,520 cases, most
people will say who have not the nnan
cial taste for champagne, is a very
great deal.

the Revenue Officers.
Hy the Aid of HI, Faithful Doge The Illicit
Distiller Wu Enabled for Lona;
TUne to Carrr on Ills No
fnrloue Business.
The most noted mountaineer in West
Virginia, and perhaps in Kentucky
and North Carolina Jim Day has at
last been captured. The government
officers have been trying to arrest Day
for over fifteen years, but failed on
every occasion. Day, who is a tall,
muscular, shrewd-looking fellow, has
been running illicit stills for over fif
teen years. During this time he had
sometimes as many as a dozen still:
running at one time. The stills were
located in the depths of the primitive
forests or. in caves in the mountain
sides, a long distance from roadways
and trails. The stills were always
located near some prominent height or
at a point from which a guard or spy
constantly on the alert could overlook
all approaches and advise his compan
ions of the vicinity of suspicious look
ing strangers. In fifteen years only two
of Day's stills have been captured and
destroyed. On each of these occasions
Day and his men all made their es
cape. Time and again revenue officers
have attempted to waylay and ambush
Day. They found roads and trails over
which it was known he would be
forced to travel and they then placed
squads in ambush, but, according to
the St Louis Republic, although Day
aau ueen 6en or iraneu muug mc iubu,
had been seen or traced along the road
he alwavs slipped through their fingers
without a sctatch.
At last the secret of his success in
evading the officers became known.
Day had a number of thoroughbred
dogs which he had trained to scent out
revenue officers or strangers and to
notify him of their presence long be
fore they could come in sight. When
traveling over the routesor trails lead
ing to and from any of his stills two of
Day's dogs always trotted along in
front several hundred yards, taking op
posite sides of the road. Two would
fall back in the rear and one would
advance like a scout on each side. In
case of an ambuscade the dogs in front
would scent the presence of the deputy
marshals before they got within one
hundred yards of them. They would
then return quickly to their master
and inform him by their actions of the
presence of the enemy. Day would
then take to the woods to the right or
left, with a dog in advance, and pass
around an ambuscade without being
seen. In case pursuers should come
up behind, Day's dogs, which had been
trailing along, would quickly hear or
scent them, and then would hurry for
ward to their master, who, knowing by
their actions how close the enemy was,
could easily evade them. With such
guards it was almost useless for the
officers to attempt to capture Day.
They often gave up the search in dis
gust, to start out a month or two later
reinvieorated nnd eneonrn"ed by ru
mors or reports of spies, to fail again
and again. Day could be heard of in
McDowell county one day, and the
next some one from Taswell, in Vir
ginia, fifty miles away, would report
that he had been seen in that section.
He proved to be an ignis fatuus to the
oflicers, and although they could hear
of half a dozen stills running in as
many places in the mountains, the
officers in the entire fifteen years were
successful only in capturing two of his
stills.
THE CUP OF GOLD.
A BeHutiful Flower That la the Floral
Ciublem of I'ttUfornla.
Strangers visiting California are at
tracted by the great splashes of gold
that appear in the pasture lands and
by the waysides, says the London Il
lustrated News. It is the eschscholtzia
(esh-sholts-i-a), which is now the
flower ernblem of California.. The ap
propriateness of tlvs selection is seen
in many ways. It is the wild wine
goblet of the state, suggestive, in
color, of the orange and the precious
metal. The Spaniards, indeed, called
it el oro de-copo the cup if gold. In
the month of October, 1810, the ship
Rurick entered the bay o San Fran
cisco. The naturalist Adalbert vou
Chamisso was on the Rurick, and
named the poppy for his companion of
the voyage, one Ilerr Enehscholtz.
The latter may have been a good citi
zen, and his name may sound euphoni
ous to his nation; but to the Anglo-
Saxon the word is a mouthful.
Californians should be thankful
however, that the flower was not
christened with his full name of
Johannfriedricheschscholtzia. It will
never be known how many California
school children have barely escaped
strangulation in attempting to pro-
nouuee the botanical name of the
noppv. This flower has a wide dis
tribution; it is found from Oregon to
the central highlands of Mexico, from
Nevada and Arizona to the islands of
, the coast.
A Strange Friendship.
There is a peculiar case of Infatua
tion between a rooster and two cats to
be witnessed at Alton, 111. They all
beJ tQ the Ueeperof a livery 8tabi0
Qr some Ume the rofmttt whioh
is a larire fowl of the Shanghai breed,
was afraid of the cats. Hut a friendly
feellnfc pTew to exist between them
and this finally ripened into a case of
love. Thev are inseparable. The
rooster will conduct himself just as he
would if escorting two hens about.
He will find a worm or grain of corn,
call the cats and then eat it himself aa
naturally as though he had never asso
ciated with anything- but cats. The
felines, on the other hand, will follow
him around, roll over and play with
him, share their mice with him, and in
every possible way demonstrate that
his affection is reciprocated. The
rooster sleeps on the edge of a feed
box and the cats rest together in the
box. The stranpe friendship has ex
isted for some time past and exhibits
no signs of abatement.
