stonor of Michigan, formerly stato
namo Warden, Bays Uio flrBt Umo he
Ilflhed In tho famous waters of Lake
Superior's north shoro 1b mcmorablo
as giving htm the surprise of his life,
"A party of us had gone therein n
yacht," ho said, "and anchoring in tho
shelter of a llttlo Island, thought wo
would try for muskollunge. Most of
s took, boats and went out in portion
of two and three.
"I was the first one In my boat to
got a bite, and when I landed It tho
fish weighed twenty-two pounds. Wo
caught several mora of that size, and
as it was many times bettor than any
fishing wo had ever had boforo I
novor doubted ours bad been a remark
iblo bucccss. I was thinking how tho
atlier follows on tho yacht would staro
at our catch, and how they Would
secretly envy us whon wo pulled back
o that vessel.
"Wo wcro tho first to return," said
Mr. Osborne, according to tho Now
York Times, "and Wo spread our
catch out for tho inspection of tho
othcjB when they should climb aboard.
Then we saw one of tho boats coming
and waited anxiously. When Us oc
cupants camo on dock they had thrco
fish bigger, than our biggest, and
when all were back on the yacht wo
found that' every one had a muskcl
lungo hlggor than nh'y wo had caught.
MUSIO BROUGHT TRADE. "

l'Iny lloforo IIU l'lnce.
now method of advertising has
A
been
found by a Sovonth avonuo
butcher who not long since opened his
shop.
Ho determined to avoid tho long
wait for customers usually experienced
by thoso entering ah new business
and so racked his head for an Idea.
Ono day ho was standing In front of
hla shop, Idly waiting tho customers
who did not come. His eyo happenod
to catch sight of a band of Italian
street musicians coming down tho
avenue. Then a happy thought struck
him.
Calling tho musicians ho engaged
them to play each morning before his
door. Tho polkas and walfea glad
dened tho hearts of passing llttlo boys
and girls, who paused to dance to tho
tunes. Tho monotono of tho street was
broken.
Tho fine brcczo of autumn waftod
tho muslo through tho quartor and the
servant girls and marketing mothers
wero attracted. Naturally tho butcher
shop was advertised and patronlzod,
says tho Now York Times, and tho
butcher's success was assured.

Value of a Mammy.
In estimating tho valuo ot a mummy
its medicinal qualities aro no longer
appraised, and thus tho problem 1b
easier of solution, Its valuo must
havo been greater whon It formed a
regular part ot tho materia medico.
Until protty lato in tho eighteenth con
tury mummies ontored Into a great
variety of drugs, balms and other
medicaments. As tho gonulne mummy
was thon expensive, recipes wero given
by many ancient writers for converting
human flesh Into mummy. Usually
only certain portions of tho body wero
UBed and theso wore beaten, dried ma
cerated and spiced out of all likeness
to their natural condition henco
"beaten to a mummy." Numerous al
lusions nro mado to tho practlco in an
cient lltoraturo and In an old play,
"Bird In a Cage," aro tho directions
"Mako mummy of ray flesh and sell
me to tho apothecaries."
Victim ot a Jokar. '
Tho amusing mistake that peoplo
mako In tho matter of foreign phrases
aro well exemplified by tho proprietor
of a Philadelphia restaurant. Qaudy
pink cards advertising his placo of
business aro being distributed, contain
ing this astonishing sentence: "Tho
cafo is not only considered tho
beto notr place to Btop for refresh
ments, but the excellence of Its serv
ice and viands command tho respect
of allfalr-mlnded peoplo." It is sus
pected that tho proprietor has been tho
victim of some Joko-lovlng customer,
who duped hlra Into bellovlng that beto
nolr meant somethlng-decldedly ultra,
quite recherche, in fact
Koyal Pet.
Tho lovo of tho royal family for ani
mal pets is very well known, and thero
aro some which accompany tho court
wherever It goes, even for tho briefest
Btay. When the king and queen camo
up to London recently on tholr Christ
mas present purchasing expedition, at
least halt a dozen dogs wero in ths
train, and among them a very corpu
lent and disorderly poodlo, which was,
presumably, dissatisfied at having to
travel In an omnibus instead of In ouo
of tho royal landaus. Four bird cages
wero also among tho baggage, and a
hamper, which might possibly contain
a cat London Chronicle.
Wine as Food for llonn.
Vltlculturlsta in France havo Just
tried experiments in feeding draught
animals with bran mixed with wine,
which seems to be successful, it ap
pears that poor wine can bo used to
replace oats as food, weight for
weight, a pound of wtne for a pound
ot oats. At least half ot tho usual
feed of grain can be replaced in this
manner without disadvantage to the
animals. Barley, beans, bran and the
like, mixed with wine, aan be substi
tuted for oats entirely, It desired, It
Is said. In years of abundant vintage
n material sarin can be effected i

Ono of the moat Interesting relics of
obsolete postnl service to bo Been at
the museum In Washington, Bays tho
Washington Post, is an old time Rocky
Mountain combination passenger and
mail coach, built la 1808. This was
among tho first of Its kind to carry the
inn Us In Montana, the route of this par
ticular coach being from Helena to
Pnzcmnn, tho trip consuming a week.
a:o residents along the same section
now receive, four malls dally. The
coneh was donated to the museum by
S. S. Huntloy, general manager of the
Yellowstone Park Transportation com
pany. It was captured by Indlnns In
1877 and recaptured after a hot pur
suit by General Howard. Many dls-
j tlngulshed persons havo traveled In It,
uiuvus iul'iii ucmg liciiunu uuruuiu, uiv
foro he was president; President Ar
thur, on a visit to Montana In 1833,
and General Sherman, on a tour of In
spection In 1877. The lntter was a pas
senger when tho coach mado the dis
tance from Fort Ellis to Helena, 108
miles, In eight hours, six horses being
the team, with frequent relays.
This antiquated affair on, wheels Is
the slmon pure, typical stngeconch of
tho Beadle dime novel. The .Tames
brothers and tho Fords may have en
riched themselves by looting this Iden
tical relic of the west, There aro a
front nnd rear boot, tho former, under
tho driver's Beat, being tho repository
of Uncle Sam's mall baps, the rear boot
serving to carry baggage. Heavy
leather springs and iron tires to tho
wheels hnlf un Inch thick cunbletl tho
vehicle to wlthstnnd tho rough usage
to which It was subjected. With a ca
paclty Inside for nine people, others
riding on top nnd beside tho driver,
with slots In the sides of tho coach
through which rifles could be aimed, It
seemed evident thnt n knight of the
road had to be of reckless mold to
tackle one of these onco a week "ex
presses." '
POULTRY POINTERS.
Never glvo poultry water iu the morn
ing before feeding.
All tho stimulants breeding fowls
need is wholesome food and drink in
proper quantities.
To fatten tho cockerels rapidly, con
fine them in close qunrtors nnd feed
cornineal cooked in milk.
Short legged fowls fatten quickly.
Long legs arc hard to fatten. Those
first hatched fatten quickest In a
brood.
Fowls seldom tiro of milk. They
may cat too much grain or meat, but
milk iu any form is palatable and
health'.
Tho roosting poles should bo on a
level with each other. This will prc-
j vent the fowls all trying to roost on
tne top perch.
A fowl or animal In which an excel
lence Is constitutional is apt to trans
mit all this excellence in all the de
veloped power and benuty to Its prog
eny. In selecting for breeding tho pullet
should be nt least n year younger than
the cock. This will conduce to tho
strength nnd good health of tho off
spring. '
