soino boiling springs. As the salmon
climb up the river they gradually get
accilimated to the heat of the water
and don’t mind it. In fact, when we
fish in the highest reaches of the stream
we catch our salmon ready boiled.’
“ ‘ I don’t doubt that,’ said the second
Canadian, calmly. ‘Down my way there’s
a curious salmon river, too. It rises in
some tin mines. As the fish work up
they meet the suspended ore in gradually
increasing quantities. They get quite
mineralised if they keep on upstream, so
that, if we fish at the head of the river
we catch our salmon ready tinned, and
all we have to do is to pack anil shin
them to market.’ ”
NATURAL HISTORY.
A party of young men were camping
and to avert annoying questions they
made it a rule that the one who asked
a question that he could not answer him
self had to do the cooking, says the
Cleveland Leader.
One evening, while sitting around the
fire, one of the boys asked: “Why is .t
that a ground squirrel never leaves any
dirt at the mouth of its burrow?”
They all guessed and missed. So he
was asked to answer it himself.
‘ ‘ Why, ’ ’ he said, ‘ ‘ because they al
ways begin to dig at the other end of
the hole.”
‘ ‘ But, ’ ’ one asked, * how does he get
to the other end of the hole?”
“Well,” was the reply, “that’s your
question. ’ ’

JUST FISH.
Commissioner George M. Bowers of
the Bureau of Fisheries, said recently
in Washington of the black bass that
he is sending to South Africa at the
request of Col. Roosevelt, according to
the St. Louis Globe-Democrat:
“These fish will do well, but no mir
acles are to be expected of them. Many
persons seem to think that our bureau
is as miraculous in all its works as—
well, as the Canadian salmon.
“Two Canadians were boasting.
“ ‘Where I come from,’ said the first,
‘ we have a salmon river that rises in

CURRENT COMMENT.
| The Birmingham News says: “The
consumer cares very little how many bit
ter words pass between the leaders in
Congress in the consideration of the new
tariff provided it will result in letting
the consumer have a little show in the
round up.”
The Washington Herald says: “Rev.
Len G. Broughton, of Atlanta, in the
course of a recent sermon, advised the
Georgia Legislature to pass a law ‘ re
quiring women to know to how to cook.’
It probably would be as ineffective as a
statute requiring Rev. Len G. Broughton
to know how to preach.”
The New York Tribune says: “The
Georgia Legislature has been asked to
pass a law requiring cooking and house-
, keeping to be taught in the public
schools. Good cooks, it is argued, make
a contented and enduring commonwealth.
The Empire State of the South will lay
a firm foundation for greatness if its
schools take no turning out domestic
economists who owe their accomplish
ments to scientific training as well as to
nature and inheritance.”
The Louisville Courier-Journal (Dem.)
says: “Too many of its victims regard
the present tariff system as an abstruse
instrument when it is merely a simple
and understandable letter of marque
granting to a certain class certain rights
to pillage. To this failure property to
analyzo it is due the entrenched and
seemingly impregnable position of the
system. The retailers are not responsible
for the high prices of the necessities of
life. Moreover they are not, as a class,
getting any considerable part of the
profits upon products those prices rep
resent. Remorseless greed is the true
explanation, but that remorseless greed
is found higher up. ’ ’
APODICTIC.
“I am determined to go on a vaca
tion! ”
Whittier looked almost fierce as ho
spoke. Cleverton regarded him with a
quizzical look, says Lippincott’s.
‘ ‘ You have a comfortable home ? ” he
askeu.
‘ ‘ Splendid. Nothing could be better. ’ ’
“Ann a loving wife?”
‘ ‘ None more so. Studies to please
all the time. Never obtrudes herself
and is silent when ..esirable. ”
“Yon are in good physical condition?”
‘ ‘ Very. Never felt better. ’ ’
“No trouble of any sort, no hidden
worry that yon want to get away from?”
‘ ‘ None whatever. Everything is se
rene. ’ ’
“What, then, is the reason for your
going?”
Whittier smiled.
‘ ‘ illy dear boy, ’ ’ he replied, ‘ don't
you know that when everything is run
ning smoothly ,when there is absolutely
no cause for complaint, when you simply
couldn't improve on the present condi
tions if you tried—don’t you understand
that then the pure and unadulterated
ning smoothly, when there is absolutely
demands that something be done to up
set the harmony of things? That’s why
I am going on a vacation. I’m looking
for trouble! ’ ’
