Chambers » r <>, in some cold, clear streams of the North, certain -fish known locally as "Mohawk chubs.” These fish are the ■Ideal fish in shape nml color-graceful, slim, elegant creatures, pure silver except on the dorsal ridge, which Is the tint of oxydized sliver. They are tender-mouthed, and remind me somewhat of the grayling, although they have not the great dorsal fin nor the fragile mouth of that fish. They often In habit trout waters, and 1 have an Idea that trout feed on the smaller ones, although I have no absolute proof that this It true. I know, however, that pickerel, mnsknlongo and black bass strike at them eagerly. These fish rise to a fl.v and are often Quite ns gamy ns grayling. Often ond often I have struck them In trout waters, and have found them Interesting lighters when tackie is light and water cold and swift. Animals and birds appear to be very fond of them, or at least are often seen eating them, perhaps because they may be ensjer to eateli .than trout. , here Mohawk chubs nre herons and kingfishers congregate. The onlv time I ever saw an osprey In that region was once when whipping that stream, ilie osprey dashed down within a rod of me and seized a Mohawk chub that intrst have weighed a .pound nt least, bearing him up out of the pool and away -across acres of swamp toward the distant fovest.-Uarper's Weekly fug* The Life and Health !/ * of Young Girls By Dr. James II. AlcDrldc, the Alienist and Neurologist 0 HK girls of the present day who are brought np tinder more comfortable conditions than their grandmothers have gained much, no doubt. In the change of conditions; but they have lost something In that In many homes there is less of healthy exercise, less of that kind of work that developed the body and also developed simple and healthy tnstes. There Is as a result of this poorer physical development, less feeling of re* ■ sponslhillty In the home on the part of the young Indies.and not so great a sense of duty. When every member of the .family had everyday, specific duties—work to do that had to be done, work that exercised the body as well as the moral sense In discharging n duty— ■such life, dreary and harsh as It sometimes was and often barren of most of those things Hint we regard ns common ioinforts, bad nt lenst the great ndvau* tago of providing work that furnished physical exercise, nml that Wns aisd ■done under the grouse of obligation. There Is a moral and physical healthful- ness in such n life that goes to the making of strnflg nnd simple characters, and that puts purity of blood nnd vigor of constitution into descendants. The number of young women who soon a (Tor marriage break down from the unexpected strain of now duties is very large. Tho mother of a young woman who had.become a nervous invalid within two years after marriage said to me there was no apparent cause for her daughter's illness, ns she had been shielded from everything from childhood. Why, indeed, should anyone be shielded? Wns it ever the case anywhere that n person who had been shielded grew to be n forceful character or proved u success in presence of the swift and onerous demands of life? &he Funny tjTide of Life.

It cannot be efficient nnd Independent unless It is at least self-sustaining; or. to put It in another way, unless it exhibits qualities which will command the support of the public. Of course, the press may be endowed. In some way. but tho endowment is apt to be encumbered with an obliga tion to serve some other interest than tlint of the public. It seems to me Impossible for a journal that 1$ entirely nnd short-sightedly commercial in Its spirit to be of value ns a ’public mentor. Such n journal Is apt to be more harmful than helpful in Its influence. The duty that rests upon every member of society to so condnct bis Jmsiuess, to so perform his part, that good, not evil, shall flow from his action, “appeals with peculiar force to the journalist. Tho true journalist Is broad minded nnd far-sighted enough to see that the host service he can possibly render the public is the best Investment he can moke for himself. The life of the worker of the press who is thoroughly devoted to bis railing is strenuous nnd laborious. It is attended with an almost incessant strain unon the patience and the nerves. The work is never ended; the responsibility and the anxiety never cease; emergencies gre always imminent, and they de mand the full expenditure of brain nnd muscle. Those who enter upon It should do so with a keen sense of its responsibilities ns If entering any one of the so-called learned professions. The newspaper which goes Into the homes and iiauuts of the people should be clean, harmonious, attractive, ar tistic, beautiful. To please and Improve the taste f*f his reader should be the constant aim of tho maker. The public welfare' should be his sole guide 111 determining the contents of his sheet. That affords abundant Held for the exercise of skill, ability nnd energy, and the employment of sensation of a worthy sort in making bis paper popular nnd strong and profitable, i The new conditions and problems created by the country’s rapid growth constitute a new and Insistent call upon the presu to rise to it* opportunities, to perform its obvious duty. These relate not alone to the affairs of the Nation nnd State, but to the immediate environment of every newspaper in the land. The time is ripe for making our home coum-.unity life iu every city, town and village cleaner, fairer, richer, happier, more just and m6re beautiful. This ie to come through a high development of the civ 4 /; spirit, and in that develop ment the press should be the most potent factor. A Particular. Lady.

Vogel OOD salesmanship Is to essential to all lines of business, and so worthy of Intelligent study and execution, that the calling, to my mind, is lifted to the dignity of a profession. First, let me say tbnt'the definitions of salesmanship which I shall offer are not my own, but quotations from what I have read; nnd, coming as they do from salesmen of experience who have been successful, they nre entitled to "respectful consideration. "Salesmanship Is the qualify in a man—partly inherent, partly acquired—whereby he is able to successfully Introduce, Interest In nnd sell n prospective customer any article or commodity." I will quote a few others, which impress me as being particularly good, anil which I singled out of many and copied: "The ability to sell goods, or other property, in n straightforward manner, with satisfaction to nil concerned and with the least expenditure of time and money, but having always chiefly In view the benefit to bo derived by the person for whom the property Is sold.” Another; "Salesmanship is that quality In a salesman which enables him, in the shortest space of time, to place in the possession of his customer the greatest amount of satisfactory merchandise, nnd In the coffers of his employ ers the greatest amount of profits; while st the same time preserving the last ing good will and respect of his customer.” Bear in mind, please, that a salesman is not in the salesmanship class, ac* eiitJing to this authority, unless he can lsotli make a profit for bis employer and preserve the lasting respect and goed will of the customers. Another definition that. It seems to me, contains many good points, Is ns follows: vsalcsmanship Is tho science of putting Into each day’s work honesty in speech, loyalty to employer, the hustle of modem civilisation, of watching your weak points, of strengthening them, of not only keeping yonr customers but gaining new ones, of being at all times a gentleman.” I will tax your patience with one more quotation, and this one, to my mind, is as true and good as It Is terse: "Salesmanship is ability to make sales; Its attributes are health, honesty, courtesy, tact, resource, reserve power, facility of expression, a firm and unspeakable confidence In one’s self, a thorough knowledge of nnd confidence In the good, one is selling.” Certainly, none of us will deny tbnt a good salesman must know bis goods SO well and have such confidence In th*n that he can convince the merchant that he needs the goods; then be must enthuse him In such a way that, after chaw them, he Jilll push ttws- Boncvolent Old Gentleman.- old nre you, little girl?” Ethel—"Don’t you know It Ithcnt proper for a gentleman to nthk a lady her ogo?” UNLUCKY.

Just as I was beginning the seventeenth chapter, I discovered, quite accidentally, what I wa» driving at.”—Puck. EASY EXPLANATION. “How do yon account for tho fact,’’ asked the doctor, "as shown by actual Investigation, tbnt tblrty-two out of every hundred criminals In tbs coun try nro left-banded?” “That’s easily accounted for.” snld tho professor. “The other sixty-eight are right-handed."—Chicago Tribune. HER BUSY DAY. "Where’s the child wonder?” tskod the stage manager. "It’s nearly time for her net, and I haven’t seen any thing of her.” "She’ll probably be a little lata to day,” replied the serio-comic Indy. “I believe her daughter was to be mutrlcd nt high noon, and I s’pose sho weat to the train to see them off.’’—Chicago Iteeord-Herald. ’“nar LIVELY HOME. In the heart of the great pine forest we found the old man sitting by his cabin door. “But It is so quiet here,” tve sold; “it Is a wonder you don’t fee! lonesome.” The old man dropped his corncob in his astonishment. “Quiet, did you say? Why, boss, I hab a wife, a mule en a phonograph.” —Chicago New*, REWARD OF TRUTHFULNESS. Employer—“You are having a de cided flirtation with the girl who has charge of our telephone wire?” Truthful Clerk (with cold chill run ning up and down his spine, and with visions of instant dismissal)—'“Y-e-e-g, sir; but please, sir—” Employer—“Well, keep It up. She will give more attention to our calls if you do.”—Tit-Bits. ONE SINCERE MOURNER. The lawyer was drawing up Enpeck'* will. “I hereby bequeath all my property to my wife,” dictated Enpeck. “Got that down?” “Yes,” answered the attorney. “On condition,’V continued Enpeck, “that she marries again within a year.” “But why that condition?” asked the man of lair. “Because,” answered the meek and loving testator, “I want somebody to be sorry that I died. Seef’-Chicago Ken . • ; ——— A Wife’s Allowance. Is it desirable that wives cnould •njoy a* flx«d monetary allowance for their own disposal for dress and such personal expenses as aro continually arising? The question is put forward tn the pages of a leading authority on matters of feminine interest, and is hhswered from vartous points of view. Thus, a business woman urges that ft man shoul not give him wife unlimit ed credit at shops, and then be indig nant if her expenditure is large. On the other hand, says this lady, on allowance spurs on a woman to live within her means, and teaches her the value of money. A lawyer lays down the maxim that a man owes it to the girl he marries to keep her free from financial worries. There are those husbands who admit that they ero only glad to hand over the larger pait, if not the whole, indeed, of tho-lr incomo to careful and man aging vrivetf, leaving them to arrange tho scale of household outlay, and taking what they regard as necessary for their own ahd thd children's flrecs.—Londoh Telegraph. City Residents Near-Sighted. - “The race is growing near-sighted; owing to city life and the conditions of our civilization/’ said Frederick P. Simmons, examining eye specialist, while addressing tho members of the New England Association of Optic ians. “Our visual range is confined to near objects for tho greater part of the day,” said he, “and this keeps the eyes turned in. An object twenty feet Away will make the eyeballs parallel. “Anything loss wll turn them in, and people Who spend hours in offices and crowded flats necessarily have ft short range of vision, which over works and weakens thd interior mus cles close to the nasal cavity. “The exterior muscles not being so strained, are strong, and hence cause th6 eyes fco turn out. Let a person who is thus affected spent a week or two in the country and his eyes be come normal again, because he gets greater range of vision.
