Poor Fishiug This Season.
The North Branch iu this vicinity
several year? ago was one of the best
fishing grounds in this sectiou. Of
late years,however,it lias yielded very
poor sport,each succeeding year seem
ing to bring fewer fish.
A well known fisherman of our town
staled yesterday that a few years ago
it was no unusual thing for him to
hook as many as four huudrod bass in
a season, while during tlio presout
year lie has thus far caoght but four
teen.
During the last few years when the
falling oft in fish was first noted,black
bass were still pleutiful in tlio West
Brauoli, which gave rise to the theory
that the fish iu the North Branch wore
beginning to sutTur from the inroads
of coal dirt. It now develops that
black bass have become as scarce in
Hie West Branch as anywhere else, so
that fishermen are beginning to look
for soma cause for the general scarcity
other than coal dirt.
The lishermau above quotod takes
t'io view that tlio ice gorges and the
big flood of last spring swopt a largo
number of fish down the stream and
that tliey are prevoutod by tlio dams
from finding their way up tlio river.

Buckwheat Higher than a Man.

laud owuod by Lloyd Lauiberson lying
botweon the rivur and the canal, a
short distance bolow Lover's Leap,
was brought to this oflice yestorday
which measured six feet, four inches
iu height.
The stalk, which was well filled
with buckwheat, near the ground was
at least half nil inch iu diameter. It
is probable that nothing like it was
ever seen hereabout before. Mr. Lim

the exceeding fertility of the soil caus

ELAINE ROZE'S PARISIAN TRIP.
Her Impression of the Modes—Frivo
lous Little Poplums the Vogue
—Wuistcoats a Feature.
I am back again with a budget of fash
ion news which I have culled for you
from a most bewildering display of ex
quisite garments for milady's adorn
ment.
The splendor of the'time when France
was at the height of her luxurious ex
travagance seems to have returned, and
after a tentative trial of 1830 Directoire
| styles. Dame Fashion is contented at
last with the Louis XVI inspiration for
her motive.
Louis XVI coats as well as short pale
tots of colored suiting silks will be worn
with fancy wool skirts, and when it
comes to suit jackets there are no bounds
to the whimsicalities one finds. The lit
tle basque is more and more in evidence
and often takes on port ways, like, for
instance the frivolous little peplum. In
all these garments the waistcoat is a pro
nounced feature. It is cut high and low,
and is a veritable garment or only a pre
sentiment of it.
With the popularity of the waistcoat
and vogue of the fitted bodice an exquis
itely fitting corset, such as the C-B a la
Spirite is even more essential than ever.
It is the foundation upon which a prop
erly fitting gown is built, and no woman
of fashion but considers it the most im
portant item of her wardrobe.
Fashions are said to be adaptable to
each individual taste, which fact is in
favor of the woman who has to study
economy in dress, for the more volumin
ous styles in skirts are impossible for the
pedestrian to carry in one hand above
the gKme of the streets, and she who
prefers a walking skirt of comfortable
length and built may wear it without fear
of being outre.
The woman who prefers to wear the
skirt that requires two hands to carry, if
she wishes the operation to be at all
graceful, is confronted with the problem
of how to change her carefully acquired
stride into a glide. This is rather a diffi
cult transition, but it must be managed
somehow, for in skirts several yards
round, and lying two inches on tbe floor
in front, the athletic gait would be intol
crable.
So in spite of the vogue of voluminous
skirts, a gored skirt, springing gracefully
at the hem, and not too wide for conven
ience is entirely correct.
A pretty model for general wear, and
quite "dressy" enough for more formal
wear is shown in a rich dark blue raw
silk, with a skirt of medium width and
fullness, and a chic little peplumed coat,
the costume, appliqued in blue velvet,
which is outlined in narrow white sout
ache braid, and worn over a charming
white raw silk waistcoat.
Another pretty model which I have
depicted for you is an afternoon or thea
tre gown of white Peau de Crepe, black
and \Vhite lace being combined in yoke,
aud sleeve-ruflles, and black velvet rib-|
bon used an a finish for yoke, jabot and
girdle-

It Was Free to All.
A. Grone ! A plunge ! A groan !
. The act occupied but the fraction of a
minute, but tbe fun was not yet over,
as is the ease of Inop-tbu-loop. In
. this daring feat of an amphibian act
i we Hml one of our foremost citzcns
figuring conspicuously. Wednesday
morning the free performance was
given, and those who missed it may
rightfully be sorry, for we cau't say
when it will lie repeated. The actor
restrains himself, and only accomp
lishes it a few times in a lifetime.
Hut the eye witnesses say It was
great. Most anyone, after a great
deal of practice, can climb a slippery
pole, but this acrobat in his first at
tempt slid down one the first time he
tried, but was sure to see that in case
it would not work the fall would not
bu great. In order to demonstrate to
the full satisfaction of himself and
thoso about him, the rear end of tho
ferry fiat was chosen. Placing the
pole on the bottom of the river, the
actor leartcd forward and gracefully
took the slip. It was completed.
Beneath the surface of the crystal
water flounder lie for a moment, then
to his feet, and a smile of satisfaction,
mingled with excitement, graced his
comely countenance, when the
thought presented itself that the fiat
had been stranded and he was already
late to catch the train and attend to
business in connection with the
Adam's express. Wading to the south
side a launch was employed and the
| hero safely transported back to 119
again to receive the congratulations
due him.

Ladies' and Children's Garments, Wooltex are Fash

Style with wear for children: most people in buying cloths for the little girl
often neglect style for the consideration of wear. Why not combine them. Try
Wooltex. Just as much attention is given to children's garments in Wooltex as for
grown lips. And the wear is no secondary consideration, either. The material is
proved pure wool by acid test, the cut and build are such as to prevent sagging and
retain the garments life under the severest stain, and the lit has to be perfect or you
bring back the garment, if you'd rather be sure of satisfaction, see our Wooltex
line for girls.

A SAFE DIET RULE.
Eat the Smitlleat Amount ot Food
That Will Preaerve Health.
How sliall one determine liow much
food to eat? Too much mystery has
been thrown about tills subject. Let
your situations decide. It must be kept
iu mind that the entire (unction of di
gestion and assimilation Is carried on
without conscious supervision or con
currence. It should be entirely unfelt
and unknown, excepting by the feeling
of bleu etre which accompanies and
follows Its normal accomplishment
Satiety Is bad. It Implies a sensation
of fullness In the region of the stom
ach, and that means that too much
food lias been taken. The exact cor
respondence Inn healthy animal be
tween the appetite and the amount of
food required Is extraordinary. Aa a
rule, the meal, unless eaten very glow
ly, should cease before the appetite Is
entirely satlslled, because a little time
Is required for the outlying organs and
tissues to feel the effects of the food
that bus been Ingested. If too little lias
been taken, It Is easy enough to make
It up at the next meal, and the appe
tite will be only the better and the food
more grateful.
No one was ever sorry for having
voluntarily eaten too little, while mil
lions every day repent lim ing eaten too
much. It has been said that the great
lesson homeopathy taught the world
was this—that whereas physicians had
been In the habit of giving the patient
the largest dose he couhl stand, they
have been led to sec that their purpose
was better subserved by giving him
the smallest dose that would produce
the desired effect. And RO It Is with
food. Instead of eating, as most peo
ple unfortunately do, as much as they
can, they should eat the smallest
amount that will keep them in good
health.—Roger S. Tracy in Century.
Fishhooks.
Practically all the best fishhooks In
the world—and nearly so of all quali
ties—are made at ltedditch, England.
The annual output Is probably 500,-
000,000 hooks, about 10,000,000 per
week, ranging In size from enormous
and ferocious looklug shark hooks to
the tiniest hooks for very small trout
flies, with a "bend" diameter of about
one-sixteenth of an Inch, a thousand
of which will not more than fill a
good sized thimble. The price varies
as much as the size, ranging from a
few pence to two or three pounds par
tlmmsnij. • ■
