In the very first cast that h?* tried he hooked and landed his tlrst salmon?a ten-poumter. ,The first salmon Is always the most perfect and beautiful that ever was t.?-en and the angler reflected that If he carried his Ash in the hat; ull day It would dry and lose Its lovely sheen. On the top of the l>rue there was a marshy nook that would answer his purpose admlruhly. Lie deposited his treasure in this uest and, having cov ered It with a thick layer of rushes, went on his way. The rest of the day he caught noth ing except a half-pound trout. Still he was very linppy and content as he turned homeward and whistled mer rlly as he approached the marshy nook. But there he found a highland cow In the act of consuming his salmon, of which little remained ex cept the head and the tall. In his anger he flung the trout savagely at the cow, hitting her full In the face; but, so far from taking offense, she seemed rather to think that he had brought her a bonne bouche where with to complete the feast, for, after gazing at him for a moment with the Innocent, confiding eyes of her kind, the contentedly swallowed the trout Gentle Maiden Sees and Enjoys Football Game Oh. that fullback got his face kicked In.

Young Ducklings Early at Home in the Water The woodduck, unlike most other docks, usually builds his nest far from his natural element, water, writes ?71 lis Gllmore MacLeod in St. Nicholas. But no sooner ace the eggs luitched and the ducklings about the size of bumble bees, than each parent bird takes a little one In its bill, wriggles through the opening In the chestnut tree or white oak which harbors the nest, and, with a quick glance lest some enemy may lurk near, tiles swiftly overland to creek or water hole. Here the two tiny burdens are dropped gently Into the water. Without previous swimming lessons, these newly hatched mites dart over the surface of the water for the cover of marsh grass or lily pad where fhey hide until tlve return of their parents with more of their brothers and sis ters. The flight of the old ducks continues back and forth from the home nest to the water until the family of from 12 te 18 are assembled, when, at a soft call-note from the parents, every little pad&gr darts from cover and starts chaslnf water spiders, as If that were an eld game.

Income Tax Hom Never Had Great Popularity Imaginative persons seeui never to tire of conjecturing as to which of modern man'a accomplishments wouid moat asteund our ancestors. Tne motorcar or the airplane ltr usually the favorite, but if one could i select a chosen few, comprising many of the kings of England along with their councilors, probably the achieve* mettt which would bulk largest IB' their eyes would be the collection of! the income tax. Starting with Edward III, who dis tinguished himself by collecting fliMV*. 000 by a graduated capital levy la I 1321 without causing a revolution, tha history of the efforts of the rulers of our race to yoke us with this burden Is Interesting. Edward Ill's levy wall very modest, saya A. O. D. In the Win? nlpeg Free Press. It canged from 980 to 8 cents, according to the position* of the taxpayer. Richard II?his Ill-starred grand*? sqn?almost lost his throne before h*i had got firmly seated on It, because h? i levied a still more modest tax, rang? Ing from $5 to 8 cents. Wat Ty^er,: before he was murdered, so convinced' the rulers of Britain that an income; tax was not a practical form of tnxa*' tlon that It was more than 200 yenrtf before such a levy was again at* tempted. Safe Maker* Only One Jump Ahead of T hie ve? Recent defensive experiments and in* ventlons might lead ua to forecast an end to bank burglary; But to brlngj thla about in fact Is not so easy, afl* serts the Scientific American. What concerns safe makers Immediately Lfl the tMssibllity of devising some metal or other substance capable of resisting the devastating onslaught of the vari? ous types of the acetylene torch, ? high temperature device which will eat its fiery way through metal defense# once thought absolutely Impregnable. l*he contest betweeu the safe crackef and the safe maker is fast resolving Itself into the old problem of the ir resistible force and the Immovable body?with the odds in favor of the snfe cracker. Since the beginning of safe making the inventors have lind two sets of men to deal with?the burglars who use the drill and those who use ex plosives. Each new improvement o t safes has been met, on the part of th? burglar, with methods for successfully attacking it. Marvelous Natural Bridge The Rainbow natural bridge is lo* cated within the Navajo Indian reser vation near the southern boundary of Utah, and spans a canyon and a small -stream which drains the northwest* era slope of the Navajo mountains? This bridge is unique In that It Is not only a symmetrical arch below but presents also a curved surface above* thus roughly suggesting a rainbow. Its height above the surface of the water Is 809 feet^ and Its span Is 278 feet. The bridge and Its neighboring canyon walls are gorgeously clothed in mottled red and yellow. The In dian story concerning its origin Is that a rainbow was turned to stone, thut permitting certain hero gods to es* cape ilood waters in the canyon. De vout Indians will not pass under thli bridge without saying their prayers. The Indian name was Nagee-lld Non nc-zoshi?"The rainbow turned t0 stone." Black Maria Everybody knows that prison van* are called "liiack Marias." The rea son for that appellation Is given In the following term? in the Star of Novem ber 28, 1874, In the form of a letter from a correspondent: "About 1835 or 1840 there resided in New York city a lady of African de scent and bacchanalian habits bearing the classical kame of Maria. Hef sprees were frequent and glorious. It came to pass that whenever she in dulged she was always nabbed by the police. They Invariably had to put her in a wagon to take her to the station house. This thing occurlng so a ft en. the vehicle was called Black Maria's carriage. Therefrom the van used to convey prisoners came to be called the Blade Maria."?Washington Star. Exceptions to Theory The recapitulation theory Is the theory that a parallel exists between the embryonic development of an in dividual and the historical evolution of its race. This parallel la explained by the theory of evolution, according to which. In the words of Sedgwick, "1 he development history of the Indi vidual appears to be a abort and slA> pitted repetition, or, to a certaH sense, a recapitulation of the course of development of the species."
