AMERICAN VINE IN EUROPE Even Venice Has Added to It* Beauty by Adoption of the Vlr ginia Creeper. Down to Cuba, up to Newfoundland and as far west as the Mississippi river and the Virginia creeper has crept until It covers all the territory in between. It didn’t creep to Europe, because it couldn't, but It was taken there by a man, and there it Is held in high honor. It is widely cultivated, and even Venice has reared stately trellises to guide the creeper over its architectural treasures, the Philadel phia North American says. Maybe you know the Virginia creep er when you see it. If you are not sure, go slowly, for you might pick on the poison ivy by mistake, though you need only remember that the creeper has five leaves in a group, while the poison ivy has only three. The creeper clings to vertical sur faces with tiny tendrils, which form disks like little suckers. Darwin took a day off one time and found out that one of these little disks will support a weight of two pounds. WHAT CATARRH IS It has been said that every third person has catarrh in some form. Science has shown that nasal catarrh often indicates a general weakness of the body; and local treatments in the form of snuffs and vapors do little, if any good. To correct catarrh you should treat its cause by enriching your blood with the oil-f')od in Bcott’s Emulsion which is a medicinal food and a building-tonic, free from alcohol or any harmful drugs.

SOLVE BLACK BASS MYSTERY Progs Pickled in Alcohol, Used for Bait, Muddle Fieh and Make Them Eaay to Catch. The big black buss mystery has been solved. It Is now Just as clear as the water in Long pond. The problem hus been In the pickled bait. All summer persons who never caught u fish before in their lives have been bringing in big strings of black buss from Long pond; on the other hand, experienced fishermen have had poor luck, being unable to land more thun a two-pound specimen, writes a Pleasant Luke (Muss.) correspondent of the New York Herald. Further than this, fish have been leaping out of the water onto the bench, turning somersaults and doing other remarkable stunts which ordi nary fish are not supposed to do. It appears that a firm of clothiers of Harwich Center curry a large as sortment of fishing tackle as u side line. Their assortment, by the way, includes everything from lead sinkers, five for a penny, to silver-plated reels ut $5 each. These clothiers also carry—listen carefully—frogs’ legs preserved in al cohol ! And there has been a big de mand for this pickled stuff for bait, according to Horace Atkins, one of the clerks. The would-be sportsmen have bitten ut it even better than the buss. The halt comes in small glass Jars. It Is said that when a hook is cast overbourd baited with one of these del tcute alcohol-soaked morsels the fish buinp each other In their mad effort to get a bit. And the sad part of it Is, all this time poor, experienced fishermen up In Long pond have been paying high prices for Iced live shrimp, minnows, crickets, grasshoppers and beetles. The pickled frogs' legs sell for about 35 cents u Jar, while the other bait brings a dollar or more a quart. AMUSING ERROR OF PRINTER Letter Heads of Electric Company Made to Read, "United States Electric Lightning Company.” Sir Hiram Maxim, In his recently published autobiography, says that when he organized the United States Electric Lighting company its station ery cume from the printer with the head, “The United States Electric Lightning Company.” Later, In Eng land, he told of this mistake to em phasize the importance of getting the stationery for his new gun company printed correctly. When the first sheet* came to him, however, the English printers had made bis concern appear as “The Maxim Gum company.” Do you belong to the Push and Pull Club?
