"Well, gentlemen," Cy. ho began, "I am quite unprepared for the occasion, and if you could have waited till the next meeting I would have pre pared a story worth your hearing. How ever, I will do the best I can, and give you a simple little incident which oc curred la-t Juno. I was fishing in a stream near Ouray for mountain trout, and had been there ton days, fish ing every day. It was delightful weather, and * I spent each dy on the stroam, taking my lunch with me from the ranch. At one turn in the stream thero is a cliff about eighty feet high, and at tho base of the cliff is a deep pool. A smaller strenm fell over this cliff into the pool, and every few minutes a dark object would come head long over tho cliff dashing with this smaller stream of water into the darkness of the pool. Those were trout, aud in a few seconds they would renppoar above the surface of the pool and nseeud in the air five or six feet and then fall back again, look a little tired and very much surprised and then sink below the sur face to rest. I had been fishing with bait, but could not get a bite and finally deter mined to change my tactics. I made a smnll raft, about six fe< t square, and paddled it over to tho foot of tho fall, and as tho trout came up out of the pool (after coming down the full) with the re bound I caught us many as I wanted with mv hands, some of themtyeigliing as much as three pounds." w "That was not sportsmanlike. What kin 1 of fishing would you call that?" asked tho President indignantly. "Well, GRAPPLING FOR SALMON. I should cnll it catching them 011 the fly." And the story wont down on the min utes. "You can tell your story now, Frank," suggested the President, as soon as order bad been restored. Frank is one of tho younger members, and his tale was as follow s: "Some years ago I was in British Co lumbia at a Chinook cam]) on one of tho rivers there. Tho Chinooks are a tribe of Indians there who live by hunting and fishing, and so plentiful is tho supply of fish and game that they do not have to work very hard. They are clean Indians —for Indians—and i had a pleasant visit of several weeks among them. In tho rivers there, when the salmon nre run ning, it is really an indisputable fact that the water rises eight or ten foot in hoight to make room for tho salmon to ascond tho river, and when they are returning down stream after spawning they push a solid wall of w tor in front of them. I know th s is true, because I have seen it m\self. To catch those salmon, many of them woighing thirty to forty pounds, all TROUT ON THE FLY. one had to do was to throw a grappling hook into tho river anywhere and pull it in to shore with a salmon or two hooked. Thoro was no need of any bait or anything else. It used to bo a nuisance Bometimos these fish were so thick in tho stream that we could not uso the canoe till nighttime, when the salmon would be asleep and still. Two or three feet of water would be running over them like over a dam. We had all tho salmon wo wanted to eat and more, too." "I have heard," said the Vice President, "that the Chinooks eat tho salmon raw." f "That is not true," said Frank; "all our salmon were boil9d in the rivtr." "How could you boil them in the river?" "Boil them? Why, the river was teem ing (steaming) wi'h them." Oh!" and the '■tory was duly recorded. The President had fallen asleep, so the Becretarv called on one of the oldest members to contribute something of an interesting nature. "I do not know, friends," ho began, "th it 1 have anything of an interesting nature to communicate,and you know the rules of the club forbid our tolling any thing thnt is not true; so I am in rathei a quandary what to tell you. "\enrs ago I was up hi Montana near a p'aco now known as Three Forks, Gallatin County, ond a powerful place it was for grizzlies, too, I can tell you. Why, I have seen a m ny as thirty grizzlies in one afternoon, and big fellows, too, and they did nol see of to bo ftfr id of any one, either. Well, ouo duv i n old scout and I deter mined we would kill a few for the r skins, ond to frighten them a little, as they were beginning to be a little too familiar on sucn snort nonce, we set out nDout z o'clock in the afternoon, and got three fine males in about two hours within a mile of our prospective camp. We soon came across another fellow, the biggest we had yet seen, and got quite close to him in order to make sure work of him. We fired together at him, or rather intended to do so, but my rifle missed fire for some unaccountable reason, and the bullet from the scout's rifle only wounded the grizzly in one of his fore paws. He was onto us pretty quick, I can tell you, and we made for trees in a hurry. I got up all right, but the scout missed his grasp and fell to the ground. Before he conld TA OK LIN Q THE OR 17. Z pi. ger up ine grizzly WOB onto mm. ana a terrific tussle ensued. The brute hugged aud hugged aud bit fiercely, and the scout kept stabbing nntl slashing with his knife. I got an opportunity finally aud fired, takiug chances. Fortunatelyl shot the bear through the brain, and the scout was saved, and, do you know, ho was not much hurt after all. I asked him how be liked tho hugging, aud, do you know, ho actually Baid ho did not mind it very much. He said he was used to something of tho kind. I asked him how that was, and he replied that he had boon married seventeen yejirs in Utah, aud had eight wivos. "No; be was not afrAid of grizzlies. Ho afterward siid ho preferred to toko his chancos with them than to go buck to Utah." It Will Ever He Thus. A citizen of Harlem who was ap proaching the railroad depot, followed by a dog, halted and picked up a stone and flung it at the canine with the ex clamation : "You good-for-nothing cur, but I'd like to kuock your bead off I" Just then a man came down a side street followed by another dog, and halted to say: "I've got another just such cur here. He isn't worth his weight in soap grease." "I'll poison mine this very night!" "And I'm going to throw mine under the locomotive." "Say," said the second man, after a moment's thought, "call your cur up here and let us get 'em to fighting." "Good idea. Here, Jep—Jep—Jep! Come here, doggie!" The dog cautiously approached, and as the two animals began growling and walking around each other a sudden "Stuboy!" brought a climax, aud they began fighting. Both men laughed hut it wasn't a minute before the first man, whose dog was underneath, kicked the dog on top. "Hold on, now. Give my dog a fair show I" shouted the other. "He's the biggest!" "No, he aint! Don't you kick my dog again 1" "I'm a good mind to kick his owner I" "I'd like to Hee you try it ?" "I can do it!" "You're a liar." And with that thoy began whaling away at each other with the greatest vigor, ending after five ninntes in a draw. Meanwhile tho dogs had quit and disappeared. "I allow no one to kick my dog," gasped one, aud he wiped at his bloody nose. "And no living man can call me a liar," growled the other, as heboid his black eye. "I'll soe you again." "And I'll sco you."— New York Sun. No Angels for Tlieni. Early last summer aNew-Englander moved out to a small town in Arizona and announced his intention of opening up a first-class grocery. He had a number of bills posted up, dwelling particularly on the fact that the busi ness was to be square and above board. Just as he was getting ready to open shop a deputation of citizens waited on him and asked the new-comer if tho statement on tho placards were made in good faith. "You rnought as well give us the hull truth about this thing," said t he leader. "You mean to say there hain't goin' to be no water in tlie vinegar V" "That's what I mean, sir!" replied the stranger, a little surprised. "Nor no sand in the sugar 1" "Ain't there goin' to be beans iu the coffee ?" "Most decidedly not, sir I" "Nor chicory, nuther?" "Never, gentlemen; I give you my word for it." The crowd seemed nonplused for a moment, and the leader held a short consultation, at the end of which he turned and said: "Say, stranger, we've concluded that you air a suspicious character. Hut first let me ask you if your cigars are goin' to be loaded with cabbage, you know ?" "Not while I " "That's all we wanted to know. YVe give yon twenty-four hours to leave town, an' you better leave. YVhen we're iu need o' angels we'll drop you a pos tal card. Good day strangor." And tho deputation filed out. Sundays in England. The question of Sunday observance is one which disturbs the clergy ol England more, perhaps, than any other, says an exchange. In some places tho clergymen themselves havet in order to secure some sort of respect for the day, inaugurated Sunday cricket clubs, the only restriction be ing that as soon as the church bell# ring, the players shall leave the game anil attend to their religious duties. An effort is also being made tc encourage tlie oponing of museums and picture galleries on Sunday. The position is tuken that it' is better to provide some innocent amnsemenf than to allow the men to idle about the streets and otherwise pass the Sabbatli in vicious idleuess.

Old Mrs. Blivins lav all atone Under a ueut gray marble stone. Carved thereon was a broken rose, And a sweet little angel v Ith stubby nose. The gossips of I'oko all sai.l, "Poor dear I fe'he bus pas-cd the news for many a year; And such tulos, too" (hero they'd nod and frown), •When you think of the very small size of th town." Then they flow over fleld. thoy flow over brier, They passed tho depot, they passed tho spire, They crossed the bridgo and climbed the hill, To be at tho l eading of Bliviiis' will. They met in the office of Lawyer Brown, One of tho smartest men in tho town ; Who cleared his throat and jerked his head, And then those very strange words ho read': "Tho gossips of Poke, wit hout fear or fright, Must visit my cravo In the lone midnight; And when I've been gone a year and a day, Must bivouac thero and have a soiroo. "MOST MRM LOMI KXDHIOKT.' Then, if I'm feeling like having tho bines, Twill cheer me to hear them all passing thi Old Mrs. Bltvlns' grave was green. The hour was twelve, the night was serene, Tho moonbeams danced in the April air, When the gossips of Poke, each bearing a chair To the rendezvous came. And down thoy all sat To have a'dolightful neighborly chat. , They talked the choice bits over and ovor, Bouietimos stopping their breath to recover. And then they'd sigh, and say : "Poor dear I Oh, how she'd enjoy this tale about Spear And this awful sad thing about ltosa Key; How she'd like it, along with muflius and tea." And now aud again they'd stop aiul they'd squeal. •Dear good Mrs. Blivins, oh, how do you feel?' You'd have thought, with such a harvest tc reap, Thoy'd have let Mrß. Blivins eternally sleep. But no. As time flew and scandals gave out, They pitched tnto the dead, though 'twas pain ful, no doubt, As Miss Flipps told the party; and theu thuj began.

A very low man, his name was Mick Dodge, And afterwards lilivins; and Blivins, they say, Died at last iu a VERY HYSTERICUS WAY. Now, all of a sudden a rumble was hoard, The ground undernouth them seemed to b< stirred; A broad flash of light, a big cloud of smoke, And into tho midst of the gossips of Poke, O'er tho tall, the short, o'er the fat, tho loan, Hopped tho ugliost goblin ever was seen; His face was black, his eyes were red, And a horn curled over tho top of his head. Tho gossips of Poke they screamed, thoy ran, And last came Flipps, with the Japanese fan: The imp laughed loud aud clauked his chains.

Of these, 1,248 die be fore reaching their first year; of the 9,025 who commence their second year, only 8,188 live to the end of the third year—or about four-fifths of tho origi nal number. But during the fourth year the little fellows seem to rally and become stronger, and the death rate decreases, and continues to decrease until tho twenty-first year, which is. as few seem to know, made the age of maturity because it is the period of the highest state of health and when the death rate is lowest. There are 7,134 of the original infants who have reached maturity and begun the re sponsibility of life—more than two thirds of the 10,208 born twenty-one years before. At thirty-five, the me ridian of manhood—so called because it is just half of tho three score and ten years the palmist says are the allotted days (on an average) of strong manhood—there are 0,302 living. Fifty fivo years, and tho ranks are thinning rapidly—only 4,727 are living. After this the percentage of mortality stead ily increases, until, at the age of 70 years, there are less than 1,000 living the figures being between 897 and 913. A possiblo few live to the close of the century, but in 100 years not one remains—all have passed away. These figures are from the average life of man, kept by tho insurance compa nies for more than three centuries, taking only healthy lives as a standard, and may be relied upon. An Aclor's Presence of Mind. Of his experiences in his early days Bothern, says his memoirs, with his keen sense of humor, had, in after life, many amusing stories to tell, of which the following is an examplo: An actor was playing the part of a prisoner in a dungeon, and, in order to make his es oaue. had concealed in his dress a file about eighteen incnes long, no naa filed off his handcuffs and shackles, and through his prison bars, and had leaped 011 the stage, when the King's carabineers made their appearance and pointed their muskets at him, the busi ness of the piece being that he was to be shot dead in full view of the audi ence. The word "Fire!" was given, followed by half a dozen feeble and harmless "clicks," the property man liuving forgotten to "load" the guns. Here was a dilemma. Without the death of the escaped prisoner the piece could not come to an end, and how was the unfortunate actor to commit the happy dispatch? Quick as lightning an idea, which surely proved that he had real dramatic genius, came into liis mind. With a quick movement he thrust the ponderous file in the direc tion of liis throat, at the same instant performing a kind of conjuring trick which caused it to disappear, and then melodramatically exclaimed: "My God! 1 have swallowed the tile!" He then came down to the footlights, and, to the entire satisfaction of the audience, expired in great agony. SPARKS OF WIT PLANE sailing- in a prairie schooner. A WIRE puller—the telegraph line mau.

Some people seem to be horrified when they hear of corn being used for fuel. Now, if corn is cheaper than coal, what posssblc objection can there be to using it for fuel? A Kansas farmer can get thirteen cents for a bushel of corn. Let us see, that is $3.70 for a ton. To get that he may have to haul his corn six or eight miles to market. If he buys coal he will pay from $1 to $5 a ton, and haul it the six or eight miles back home. The matter simply comes down to the ques tion of how he can get the most effective fuel for a dollar. You could hardly ex pect a farmer to pay a bonus in order that he might burn coal if he could get the heat sonic other way. Corn at $3.70 a ton is cheaper fuel than coal at $0 a ton, and, besides, it has in its favor the fact that the farmer has the corn at home. There is 110 more reason for a sentimen tal objection to burning corn than there is to burning wood.—[Chicago Tribune. A Whistling Tree. The musicul or whistling tree is found in the West Indian Islands, in Nubia and j the Soudan. It has a peculiar-shaped 1 leaf, and pods with a split or open edge. The wind passing through these gives out the sound which gives the tree its pecu liar name. 111 Barbadoes there is a valley filled with these trees, and when the trade winds blow across the island a constant moaning, deep-toned whistle is heard from it, which in the still hours of the night has a very wierd and unpleasant ef fect. A species of acacia, which grows very abundantly in the Soudan, is also called the "whistling tree" by the na tives. Its shoots are frequently by the agency of the lame of insects distorted in shape and swollen into a globular blad der from one to two inches in diameter. After tlie insect has emerged from a cir cular hole in the side of this swelling, the opening, played upon by the wind, be comes a musical instrument, equal in sound to a sweet-toned fiute. —There are onl.v twenty-nine free-traders in the French Parliament*, the remainder of the deputies standing up stoutly lor the pro tective home industry creed of the Thiers school.

The Census Bureau Offers a New List of Funny Ones. For the first time in the history of census making in this country, the bureau which conducts that important work finds itself now compelled, by an act of Con gress approved last March, to produce statistics regarding the fishes that inhabit the waters in and about the United States. The superintendent's first contribution to this branch of human knowledge has just been published in the shape of a list, merely giving the names of aquatic animals sought by fishermen." However, this list is surprisingly interesting to pur sue, so very many queer fishes there are in it, or, at all events, fishes with exceedingly queer names. To begin with: it would appear that nearly all of the animals found on dry land have namesakes in the watery depths, fresh or salt.
