This is the way the latest fish story ic told hereabouts: Joseph S. Frey and William Bercaw were trout fishing up in .Monroe county on Saturday. While forcing his way through a thick clump of bushes overhanging the stream Ber caw saw a good sized trout dart out from a bank of the creek and pass di rectly beneath him. Working his way to a secluded nook a few feet above, the anxious angler cast his fly with such skill that in a few seconds he caught and nafely landed a e peckled beauty about ten inches in length. He made a second effort, but could get no more trout there. Well, the fishermen continued on their way until their sport had ended and they seated themselves to clean their fish, of which, of course, they had a fine lot. On opening one of the trout the fish was found to contain a diamond shirt stud This caused Bercaw to look for his dia mond, when it was found to be missing. Then it flashed to the fisherman's mind how fortunate he had been that in pass ing through the brush his diamond had Deen forced from his shirt front; the trout he had seen dart in front of him had swallowed the jewel, and then he had succeeded in capturing the fish. To a rejKirter who inquired of I.Ir. Bercaw concerning the truthfulness of the story, the latter declared it to le a fact in every particular. Easton (Pa.) Express. Forty Tear a Recluse. F. F.

Ltooi) was amoitious as a musi cian, but lost his hearing, spoiling his musical future, and in his disappoint ment he went forty miles into the woods, built him a cabin by Piseco lake and took up the life of a hunter and trapper. He was there twenty-five years before Mr. Lardner knew where he was. Since that time Mr. Lardner has visited him, and he was here several years ago and spent several months, and was here again more recently. His recluse life was remunerative and his furs were sold at the settlements. During the progress of affairs at the lake, which has now become a popular resort, Mr. Lobb built him a comfortable home, and when O. B. Ives was at the lake he formed a very pleasant acquaint ance with him. New Britain (.Conn.) Herald. Two Moons in the Washington Sky. About 1 o'clock one morning recently a beautiful spectacle was presented in the northwestern sky. The moon was about 20 degs. above the horizon, and the air was so surcharged with moisture that a halo, with an apparent diameter of eighty feet, was formed. In. some parts this halo was rather indistinct, bnt on the right hand of the moon, as one looked toward the south, the halo at one point gradually increased in brilliancy until there was a perfect mirage of the moon. The phenomenon continued for several minutes and then faded away. An observer thought that the best desig nation of it would be "moon dog," as it resembled the phenomenon which is pro duced sometimes by the atmosphere and the sun, with the exception that the 6nn has annually four dogs." Washington Post. A Olorious Six Days Go-as-you-please. Joseph Bowers, aged seventy-eight. and W. S. Renno, aged sixty-one, en gaged in a six days' go-as-you-please corn hoeing match on their farms near Cor- rectionville. Bowers hoed thirty-one acres of corn and Kenno twenty-nine. and the old man was declared the cham pion. He challenges any man of his age in the state to hoe against him. Cor. Chicago Herald. Professor Barrett, chief of the depart ment of electricity of the World's fair, expects soon to pay a personal visit to the leading electrical manufacturers of the country, in the interest of the inter national exhibit. He has already re ceived applications for space enough to 11 a building twice the size of that set aside for this department. A peddler in Lewiston, Me., has hit upon a new way of earning a living.

To do this take a strip of the muslin one-fourth longer than the rod and wide enough to slip on easily when sewed in the form of a hem; sew the lace on this plain. Cover the rod first with a bit of muslin, red, blue or old gold, according to the predominating color employed in the furnishing of your room.

A Vice Calculated to Make Its Victii Very Unpopular. It is the easiest thing in the world to begin by borrowing a newspaper, then a pattern, then a recipe, then a book; some day a gown is borrowed to look at; another day one is borrowed to try on to see if it would be becoming; then a little note goes asking that a fan be lent; and the fan once borrowed it be comes the easiest thing in the world to get either a bodice, a bonnet or an em broidered petticoat. Now, when you began, if anybody had told you that you were a moral thief, you would have been most indignant; and vet that is just what you are. It would be much more honest to borrow your neighbor's money and never return it than to keep up a constant borrowing of your neigh bor's belongings, getting out of them the wear that is not yours and the pleas ure that is by rights your neighbor's. Yhat the mistress does, the maid does. In the kitchen they do not hesi tate to borrow a patent coffee-pot, and never return it; a puddingidish, a little flavoring extract, some baking powder. or some oiL If they were asked if they returned all this, they would answer: "Certainly not; why we would be just as giau to lena to tnem. Ana the re sult is that your servants, imitating your example, become systematic plun derers of your neighbors. My friend, do not get into the habit of borrowing. it is one oi the most vicious you can possibly acquire. It makes you lose all respect for the rights of other people, and it can certainly give you none for yourself. The persistent borrower is a more or less well-spoken-of thief. The borrower does not hide her light under a bushel, for in tune her friends and ac quaintances grow to know of her weak ness and avoid her. So stop at the book, and do not permit yourself to drift into what it is charity to call a very bad habit. Ladies Home Journal. Sauce for Pudding.

Fashion Journal. Ruhmarlne Telephoned. The difficulty of submarine telepnony over great distances is the fact of con siderable electrostatic capacity in the cable, the result of this being retarda tion and deformation of the electrical impulses transmitted.. If a line could be made of very, very low resistance, so that the electric current would have the freest possible discharge, the evil effect of this capacity would be in part done j away with. The relation between these two things has been determined in a somewhat empirical way. Calling the total resistance of a telephone wire R and its total capacity in microferads K. successful speaking, with our present instrument, is really an impossibility when the product Kit of the resistance of the line in ohms by its capacity in microferads is greater than about 10,000. In the very best Atlantic cable KR equals somewhere near 8,000,000, so that unless there should be some totally new developments in telephony we can Bee at once that successful telephoning across the Atlantic is very improbable on ac count of the enormous cost of a conduct or of low resistance and capacity, if for no other reason. Electrical Engineer. A New Use for the Ring. Whatever the measures adopted, the principle of isolation is the essence of all genuine disinfection. Its efficiency for this purpose was well ehown at Epsom common. One of the children in a gypsy encampment having been taken ill with scarlet fever, was, along with its mother, very successfully separated from the rest of the community by the simple expedi ent of a ring fence made of rope drawn around the infected tent and regularly watched. The result was that the slow progress of convalescence was passed through and disinfection completed without further extension of the disease. The surveyor, Mr. Harding, is to be congratulated on the success of his novel and effectual maneuver. The satisfactory result thus easily attained is of obvious importance. and the simple method employed de serves to be remembered in case of emer gencies of a similar kind. London Lan cet.

Exchange. The First Born. Young Father I am amazed, shocked, my dear, to hear you say you intend to give the baby some paregoric.

A teacher of science ought also to be an investigator, were it only for the in spiration that his example might give to the pupils in his charge. To impart knowledge is a good thing, but to reveal j the sources of knowledge is better; and in that revelation iB found the educa tional value of research regarded as a part of the teacher's essential duty. F. W. Clarke in Popular Science Monthly. Paint Instead of Clothing. The araotta plant has seeds coated with a red, waxy pulp, which is dried and made into cakes. It is much em ployed by the South American Caribs for painting their bodies, paint being almost their only article of clothing. As a commercial article it is mainly uti lized as a coloring for cheese, butter and inferior chocolates. Washington Star. Way Off.
