,, Depreciation of King. .

retain their traditional primacy, and
itho felicity of the gods Is still a com

to be dwarfed by that of many of

The Wonderful Wilderness Country Whither Thousands Are Getting
Ready to Travel With Rod and Camera This Spring.-lnexhaus-tible
Supplies of Trout and Salmon In the Maine and
Canadian Regions--One Man's Record 13,000.
No outdoor pastime that takes the
devotee away from home is so uni
versally enjoyed as fishing. It is an
exhilarating, care-destroying sport
that is practiced practically from one
end of the earth to the other; and in
our own country hundreds of thou
sands who never indulge in any other
form of outl.ng and exercise religious
ly set aside at least a few days In the
year for the enjoyment of this time
honored amusement.
Every section of the United States
has Its peculiar kind of fishing. In
the Gulf of Mexico the mighty tarpon
is king; in California waters the leap
ing tuna is the special quarry of the
angler; along the Atlantic coast the
bluefish tempts the skill and tries the
patience of American cltizenB as il
lustrious as ex-President Cleveland;
and nearly everywhere throughout
the land some species ot the most
popular of all fresh water denizens,
the trout, is found, and in many sec
tions the lordly and much-prized
salmon.
Nowhere on tho continent, how
ever, Is there a mo3t distinctively
"fishing country" tkn in tho State of
Maine. New England as a whole, in
deed, might well come under that des
ignation, for the marvellously rich
fishing country of the Pine Tree
State is admirably supplemented with
tho lake and rlver-gemniod Common
wealths of New Hampshire and Ver
mont adjoining, while in Now Bruns
wick, Quebec, Nova Scotia and other
portions of tho groat Canadian wilder
ness contiguous, the opportunities for
the angler are practically unlimited.
Even as this article is being writ
ten, a great hoat of fishermen (and
F.ot a few of them are of the fair sex),
are quietly and eagerly making the
necessary preparations for tho annual
descent upon the New England or
Canadian wilderness, their brains on
fire with visions of the "big fellows"
they know are waiting for the cast of
the fly or the trolling of the bait.
One can get ready for a fishing trip,
even to the wilds of Maine, within
a reasonably short space of time, but
there are lots of Waltonites who pre
fer to devote weeks to those delicious
preliminaries, because it adds just so
much to the long drawn out sweetness
of the "spring fishing fever."
Down in Maine the piscatorial sea
son will be in full blast about the first
of May, for it is about that time that
the annual telegram which gives to
thousands of Americans such an elec
tric shock "the Ice is out" finds its
way into the newspapers of the coun-
"rom the Rangeley Region.
try, or is displayed on straw-colored
blanks in the windows of railroad
ticket offices.
And the railroads! How much they
have done not only to popularize the
sport of fishing, but to make it so
easy a pastime, that even frail women
may now Journey into "the heart of
the ancient wood'' and have just as
good a time, and just as good sport,
as their husbands and brothers, with
out the least bit of discomfort.
Piscatorial Pilgrimages.
Of the big delegation of amateur
fishermen that will shortly be start
ing north and east from the cities and
towns of the South and the Middle
Atlantic States, by far the larger per
centage will go to the imperial State
of trout, salmon and "big game,"
Maine. There are American fisher
men some of them of national repu
tation who have annually been mak
ing piscatorial pilgrimages to the
same fishing ground for twenty-five,
thirty and even forty years.
M j
- iM .'. ' . it
Some of the perennial fishermen
have "records" of catches that are
nothing less than astounding. There
Is one authentic case of a gentleman
who in thirty-four years, each year
accompanied by the same guide, has
taken from the waters of the Range
ley region no less than 13,000 trout.
Many of these, of course, have been
returned to their natives element, on
account of smallncss of size, but think
of sitting before one'B open fire on a
stormy evening In December and re
calling the capture of 13,000 fish,
with their accompanying train of ex
citing or romantic incidents!
If any one should Inquire what part
of Maine is the best fishing ground,
the answer might both truthfully and
logically be, "any old part of tho
State.!' Watered, as It Is, by such
long and Binuous rivers as the Ken
nebec, tho Penobscot, tho Allagash,
the Fiah and the St. John, and

ing in size from forty-mlle-long
k , V -frfvrfv Zaun-
Five Trout Weighing 12 Pounds.
Mooschead Lake down to the most di
minutive of ponds, Maino could
scarcely be anything but a fishing
country ot highest repute.
Its lakes and streams, naturally
prolific of the finny tribe, are kept so
well stocked by the fish and game au
thorities that, to all intents and pur
poses, they are practically Inexhausti
ble. For the thousands of trout, togue,
bass, pickerel and other game fish
that are taken from tho waters of
Maine every year by the great invad
ing army of rod-bearers, hundreds of
thousands of "fry" are carefully put
into those same waters by the em
ployes of the fish commission." This
is one reason why the fishing is al
ways good "down in Maine." Busi
ness panics and waves of prosperity
may play tag up and down the spinal
column of the body politic as they
will, but the fishing goes on in the
lakes and streams ot Maine with the
regularity of Tennyson's brook, and
every resort in the State Is "the best,"
if the word of Its regular habitues is
to be taken at par.
The "fishing fever," like the grippe.
Is no respector of persons. One of
the most ardent enthusiasts of the
sport, end a regular victim of the
"spring fever'," is a noted United
States Senator, who has a famous
camp at the Rangcleys. Doctors, law
yers and Indian chiefs tho latter
usually in "tho guise of professional
guides), captains of Industry, Wall
Street bankers, merchant princes,
gentlemen of leisure, bookkeepers,
railroad officials, journalists and
about every other profession and call
ing represented in this strenuous
American life of ours, are found upon
this outdoor roll of honor, some of
them gliding in from the windy west
in palatial private cars, the six-pound
trout which they land, almost from
the platform of their Pullman, being
later done to a turn by a high priced
chef of ebon hue.
Outfits may be secured or com
pleted in Boston, the great gateway
to the New England fishing, hunting
and vacation country, or in Portland
or Bangor.
Present indications for an early
opening ot the 1908 fishing season
are very promising, and inquiries at
railroad ticket agencies are reported
to be fully up to the average.
On account ot the comparative ab
sence of snow and slush last winter,
the ice in tho Maine lakes formed
very clear, which enables the warm
rays ot the spring sun to penetrate
For this reason the guides are pre
dicting that the Ice will be out of
Moosehead, 'Rangeley and the other
lakes by Mai I or earlier.

Calculated for Himself,
As benefitted a man of science,
Lord Kelvin was courageous In the
extreme, and there is a little known
story of him worthy of being placed
by the side of the famous anecdote of
Nasmyth, the inventor of the steam
hammer, who placed his hand under
the mighty weight to show that it
could be made to como down gently
and remain just above his palm, says
the Kansas City Star. This story
gains point by the fact that Nasmyth
first placed his watch underneath, and
by a little mlscalucation it was
smashed to pieces. Lord Kelvin once
told his class that whllo an electric
shock of 3,000 wits or so would kill
a man, a voltage of 300,000 would be
harmless. He coolly proceeded to Il
lustrate the fact on himself, but tho
students cried In horror, "Don't; try
It on a dog." The great scientist
looked reproachfully to the class and
quietly remarked. "Didn't I figure it
out on myself?" and then turned the
tremendous current Into himself.

In the early part of the life of King
Christian IX. of Denmark there was
no prospect of his ever becoming the
ruler of that cvmntry. With tills in
view he became a sohooiinnster at
tlie Gorman University of Hallo.
Being too poor to keep a servant,
tho Dowager Tsarina Dagmar of Rus
sia, one of his daughters, used to help
her mother to do tho household work
and take care of the younger children.
During this period there were King
Frederick VII., nnd severnl others in
the direct lino of succession, that
stood before Prince Christian, but, by
a succession of deaths that occurred
he became tho heir apparent, and
after tho death of King Frederick
VII., In 1SG3, he was proclaimed King
Christian IX., of Denmark.
Another instance of a similar na
ture is that of Louis Philippe. Dur
ing tho timo he was exiled from
France, then being the Due De Chart
res, he became a teacher of mathe
matics nnd geography in Switzerland.
About 30 or 37 years afterwards, on
August 9, 18.10, he was proclaimed
King Louis Philippe of tho French.

Hen Lays Colored Eggs.
Hiram Sailings of Bteelton, Pa., Is
telling his friendB about a favorite
hen with a poetic bouI and an Inspira
tion toward higher things than the
ordinary egg xt commerce. He has
dubbed it the Easter Egg Hen, be
cause It lays colored eggB.
When a bit ot a chick, last year,
the fowl Buffered a broken leg and
was taken into the kitchen to be
nursed. It became a great pet, and
when it got well spent most of the
time In the house watching the women
folk cook.
One day the hen saw Mrs. Stlllings
coloring eggs for Easter. For sev
eral days the fowl wore a thoughtful
air, and -it is clear now that it had
taken a firm resolve to lay only
painted eggs when it grew up.
Now, this hen ae onion skins and
indigo and calico print cloth, which.
as everybody knows, can be used to
color eggs. And in good time it be
gan to lay eggs.
Each egg that it had laid was col
ored, and each egg had a different de
sign. Mr. Stlllings refrains from de
claring that the hen laid hard-boiled
eggs, simply as a matter of policy.
