W. Coleman in Harper’s Bazar. Most people are seemihgly anxious to secure good fishing to themselves, which is very natural, and will expend a large sum in order to stock waters for private use. Naturally they select waters which are so situated that they can supervise them, and therefore these waters are generally confined or restricted. It is reasonable to consider waters which are 80 situated that the movements.of the trout are hindered, to be in no sense superior to artificial ponds, and will in time surely run out. ; My idea is that general waters should always be selected fcr continuous stocking. First find a good stream and test its qualities, and afterward it should be seasonably replenished. A great déal of money is annually squandered in starting artificial ponds and confined streams, which, if properly used, ‘would have “given excellent returns. If you have money to spénd on fish culture do not waste it, but invest in a proper stocking of a good public stream, and keep it up. You will in time find that you are not obliged to pay out large sums in railroad fare, and consequent, board at hotels in distant parts, if you are judicious and persistent_in stocking home streams.—American Angler. ~~ Women Renew Their Youth.

On the summit and for some distance down the sloping side it is covered with what appear to be smooth, spherical bones, which npon close examination prove to be, it is said, petrified human skulls distorted into grotesque shapes, = It is further stated that by. removing the loose dirt and sand from the orifices of the face the unmistakable human eountenance is geyealed, Bones of other classes are also said to be found there, and from al] appearances the whole mound is formed of human skulls,— Philadelphia Ledger. elaente Caine's Joke, the last’ campaign Delegate d e Nevade (ounty-!

The Book Buyer has been sending out
to literary peoplé’somé™ blanks which they are required to fill out, telling who are their favorite prose authors, poets, painters, etc., their favorite books, heroes of fiction, what they most enjoy ‘and most detest, and so on. _Seme-ef the results are amusing—neneis very instructanything else, for instance, to see Mr. Brander Matthews attempt to reconcile his. favorite. prose writer, Hawthorne, and his favorite poet, Dobson, with his favorite musical composer, Wagner: but when, opposite the sentence, ‘‘Where I should like to live,” he writes ‘‘New York of course,” we begin to comprehend as well as to be amused. Mr. Joel Chandler Harris makes a very frank and cheerful avowal of his preferences; it is odd to see Uncle Remus including Landor among his favorite authors of prose; but one would expect Shakespeare and Burns to be his favorite poets, and it is consistent “ AUTHORS’ LIKES AND DISLIKES. !/ , A Unique Ipventicn. .

The crank is connected inside with a. dynamo, and the 100 revolutions of the handle manufacture and store a quantity of electrival energy whicl is to be eventually retailed by the ownrs of the machine for the purpose of producing illumination. The plan appears to be feasible enongh, and it would certainly in districts where unemployed labor abounded be productive of considerable good.

Millions have been made to under. and significant thathe should write down “The People” as his favorite musical composers. 2 Mr. T. Russell Sullivan writes the best Tot of answers in the lot—which is as much as to say, of course, that the Listener is most in sympathy with them. His favorite authors of prose are Steric, Sir Thomas Browne; his poets, Shalespeare, Heine; his painters, Velasquez, and Sleep, which is a ‘‘goak;” his favorite play is “Othello,” and his favorite heroesjin fiction aré Mephistopheles ‘and d’Artagnan; his favorite heroines in fiction, Juliet and Beatrix Esmond; his favorite heroines in real life, ‘The Uncomplaining Poor.” He mostly enjoys travel, and most detests an electric street car, while the ‘‘historic event a which he should like most to have been present” was the interview between Eve and the serpent! Miss Agnes Repplier’s ‘answers are illuminating as to the character of that gifted lady. Naturally Scott is one o! her favorite prose writers, and Keats goes with Shakespeare in poetry, while oer favorite composers are Gounod and Yerdi,_That “Marius the Epicurean” should be her favorite book is rathér a1 odd thing to some warm admirer of Mr Pater, who doesn’t share Miss Repplier’s general romantic and sanguinary taste: in literature. The exquisite civilization of “Marius” seems very far away fron the silly barbarism of “Ivanhoe.” But whether it is she whois inconsistent or whether they are, each party probabhs would not leave it to the gther to de zide. Of course Miss Repplier’s heroin in real life is Mary Stuart, and: the his“toric évent at which she would most like to have‘ been present. was the battle of Agincourt. No circular need come from the mails to find that out. The literary ladies, by the way, who have such an unwomanly taste for gore, and who pour out so much tardy ink in the praise of thirsty sword, illustrate anew the-tendency of their-sex to com<¢ briskly in expressing men’s thoughts just after men have ceased to think them. Ah, well, at the same time that . Miss Repplier avows these things she avows that she would rather live in London than anywhere else, ‘and deGlares that the gift of nature she would most like to have is health, which is as much as to say that she has it not, and illness, and life in Philadelphia, and a liking for London will account for a great manx.beckwnathy.2-Boston ‘Transcript. as i “The Criminal Type.” An important result of the congress at Brussels on criminal anthropology has been the discrediting of the so called “criminal type,” or habitual criminal. The person. who was born a eriminal, and must be one, ‘‘nolens volens,” was supposed to have a smaller capacity of skull than the average, a more retreating forehead, the back of the head large, the lower jaw very strong and pronounced, the ears often deformed, the bair coarse and thick, the beard scanty, ate. Dr. Tarnovski, of St. Petersburg, and Dr. Naecke, from a very large collection of data, maintained that there was no special peculiarity in the physique of criminals, male or female, and the general tendency of the papers read and discussions on the subject was to regard crime as. the result of social and psychical rather than physica] peculiarities.—Manchester Times, Sending Flowers. Just a word or two about the packing of flowers, facts, if you want your gift to arrive almost.as fresh as when. you picked them. If you desire to send roses, insert the cut stems into a raw potato, and the moisture will keep them from wilting, while the flowers themselves should be wrapped in wax paper. For smal] blossoms, such as violets, sweet peas or orange flowers, pack them glosely in damp moss, but never wet «the flowers themselves. Cover always with waxed paper, and in case-you can procure.a tin or lightweight wooden box it will insure their safe arrival, as a paste: board .box is apt to get broken.—St. Louis Republic. Effect of the Interstate Law, A granger riding in the Gars stuck his head out of the window. Better put your head in,” said the conductor. The granger obeyed, and then turned to the man behind him and said, ‘Why can't ! put my head out?” “You might knock ‘yome of the telegraph poles down,” was the answer. ‘Oh, that’s it. Well, if they're so mighty ‘traid ofa few old poles, I'll keep my head in, That's the way on the railroads since that new law went into effect,”"—New York World, The Age of Fresidents, When he is inaugurated next March Mr. Cleveland will lack but a few days of being 56 years old, which is precisely the average age of presidents on their recession, The oldest president was William Henry Harrison, who was 68; Buchpnan was 62; Taylor, 65; Jackson and Adams, 62; Monroe, 59; Jefferson, Madigon and J.

Just after Jay Gould's death, a wedithy Wall. street ‘broker made a proposition to a young man who was not. wealthy but who had been able to do the broker a favor, which the latter appreciated The propesition was couched in language something like this: ‘Dick, you have rendered me a Valuable service, and. ] want to do something for.you. I will tell you what I will do. I will carry. 100 shares of Manhattan stock for you for a month, or I will buy you the best suit of clothes that you can pick out. Which will you take?” The young man considered the proposition for a few minutes and replied: “1 believe that Manhattan railway-stoek will eventually go up, but if I should be the holder of 160 shares it would be certain-togodown. Such-is my luck in variably, I will take the suit of clothes.’ On Friday this young man figured up how much he had lost by making the choice that he did. When Mr. Gould died, Manhattan was selling at-132.. On Friday it sold ata fraction aboye 174. Had the young man chosen the 100 shares and sold them Friday he would have been, about $4,200 richer.—New York Times. : Manufacturing Petrified Corpses. A factory for the manufacture of petrified human corpses has, it is alleged been discovered in Fresno, Cal. At eas four petrified people are said to_have been manufactured and shipped to museums from this place. It may be re membered that a petrified man created consilgsahlvor the curiosity were printed in eastern papers. The thing was seen nounced a fraud, but it netted considerable money for the ‘‘miners” who dis covered it, The objects were very carefully made, the bones of the legs and arms being hollowed out, and in one vase one arm and a foot was broken off to show the internal structure. The fake factory, it is said, stole a genuine mumunified man—a dried body found on the plains—from the health officer at Fresno, fixed it up a little and shipped it to a museum in the east.—New York Sun. A Fake Newspaper Man. According to recent dispatches the sensational accounts which all the papers had a few d&ys ago of the storming of the jail at Bakersville, N. C., the shooting of the sheriff, the desperate battle between the mob and the sheriff’s posse and the lynching of three prisoners was alla “fake,” as the newspaper men call it, devised by aman named Hyams, assistant city editor of a paper at Johnson City, Tenn. Correspondents who were sent from Asheville, N. C., to Bakersville have returned worn out and. disgusted, saying there is no trouble whatever there, nor is there any reason to expect any, The man Hyams who waa guilty of telling and publishing this abominable lie should be discharged from his own pauper and blacklisted by every respectable newspaper in the United States,— San Francisco Chronicle, 3 A Life For a Cigarette. Not many men can have sacrificed their lives for so trifling an article asa cigarette end. This, however, is what has been done by a French private soldier with the curiously outlandish name of Schwinghedaw. This man, who had a-bad character in the army for his insubordination, was undergoing. ene of many terms of imprisonment he has had at Bicetre military prison, when he picked up a cigarette end that” had been thrown down in the exercise ground.
