1 HUGGING” FOR SUCKERS.
rK i a UE PISCATORIAL DIVERSION I
* IN THE BACKWOODS.
.•Catting” the Squirming I’isli as they
Swim Under a Hole in the Ice—Ori
gin of the Sport.
\ Dingman'sFerry, Penn., correspond-
J writes: A winter sport which seems
... b,. peculiar to some parts of the Pike
rountv buckwoods has been occupying
the time of such of the dwellers in the
-trion its find pleasure in it. In the lan
jnrt.re of the backwoods, the recreation is
Sled “chugging,” and as no one can
u c hu<’” until the ponds are solidly frozen
over Hie sport is entirely a winter one.
It is a companion to the more universal
and higher sport of pickerel fishing with
tin-ups and live bait through the ice, and
although the chugger occasionally cap
tures ifpickerel or a perch as a prize they
are not the game he seeks. His energy
and skill are utilized in impaling the pie
bean sucker, a species of which, reach
ing an unusually large size, abounds in
some of the mountain lakes that are
numerous in this region.
To the person who sees for the first
time a “chugging” party at the height of
a day’s sport on the lake the sight will be
» novel and an amusing one. The water
in so pure and transparent and their sur
face so generally unruffled that the ice
that forms on them becomes like a vast
expanse of glass, so slippery that without
ice creepers one cannot keep his feet upon
it and so clear that objects in the water
are plainly visible through a foot’s
thickness of ice. The number in a
party of chuggers may be without limit.
No less than five or six should be in a
group, however, to make it lively and
exciting. Holes a foot or so in diameter
are cut through the ice in line with one
another, and five or six feet apart. One
or more immense fires are built about on
the ice to give an impression of warmth
and cheerfulness to the surroundings. All
but one of the chuggers take a position
at a hole in the ice. They either have
sharp creepers on their boots or a pair of
skates of the fashion of thirty or forty
years ago. Each plyer at the holes has a
stiff pole about four, feet in length. On
one end of this three or four good-sized
fish-hooks are tied, with their backs to
one another on the stick, making a
formidable many-barbed gaff. One of
the party stands a few feet away from
the hole nearest the shore —the hole being
cut close to the edge of the pond, where
the suckers collect in great numbers.
This person has either an axe or an iron
bound maul, such as are used for driving
wedges. When all are ready the man
with the axe or maul strikes the ice three
or four times. The sharp “chug,” startles
the fish beneath the ice, and they shoot
out in all directions, hundreds of them
crowding together in schools, to escape I
from what they instinctively regard as
impending disaster. They swim close
to the ice, as they pass by the holes I
over which the fishermen stand !
the hooks are thrust down and as
quickly drawn out, every time with a !
squirming sucker or two impaled on the
hooks. The fish are thrown out on the
ice, and the quick movements of the men
along the line of holes and the immense
numbers of fish that crowd along beneath
them are sufficient to keep the air filled
with suckers as they are cast from the
hooks, for several minutes at a time. By
the time the school has passed the ice will
be covered with bushels of the fish.
They will average over a foot in length,
and their meat is white, sweet and solid,
but filled with bones as fine as hairs.
The fish, after their fright is over, grad
ually work back again to the shore. The
captured suckers are piled in one big
heap on the ice after each man’s catch is
counted and commented on. Some of
the chuggers are so skillful in handling
the hooks that their movement with the
pole up and down over their hole is as
regular as clockwork, never missing a
fish, and never touching their hands to
one on removing it from the gaff, but de
taching every one by dexterous jerks of
the pole as it is drawn from the water.
Pickerel, perch and other game fish are
always in the rush of frightened suckers,
but their movements are much more
quicker and their intelligence so much
greater than the sucker that it is seldom '
one of them is brought up on the gaff.
Nevertheless, the largest pickerel ever
caught in any of these mountain ponds
was caught on the hook of an expert
chugger named Shafer, a year or so ago.
It weighed nearly eight pounds.
This simple but evidently exciting
sport had its origin with one of the early
settlers of this region, a pioneer named !
Drake. He settled in the Porter pond
neighborhood, and one winter he was
snow-bound with his family in his cabin,
and was unable to get to the settlements
in the Delaware valley to obtain needed
supplies. The blockade remained un
broken so long that all that his larder
contained was a small quantity of pickled
pork. The ponds had not been stocked
with pickerel in those days, but they con- '
tained trout. Drake fitted up two or !
three hooks and lines, scraped the snow |
off of the ice for several yards around,cut I
the necessary holes, and, baiting his I
hooks with the only bate he could ob
tain, bits of fat pork, he began fishing in ;
hope of capturing trout enough to keep |
the household going until the settlements
could be reached. The salt pork did not
seem to be a bait that tempted the par- !
ticular appetites of the trout, and Drake
fished from morning until late in the
afternoon without getting a bite. He
was about taking out his hook and going I
back to his house in despair when his |
son. a boy about 15 years old, came drag- ‘
ging into the cleared spot on the ice a
pine knot, which he began to split up
with his ax. Drake was stooping
down over one of his holes in the ice and
eginning to draw up his line when the 4
began to chop. Immediately follow
ing the first stroke of the ax fish by the
lundred went rushing past the hole in
e ice. Drake was startled at first, but
pccessity quickened his wits, and draw
th” k '* ne ou * h e jerked the pork from
• .^ ro PPcd the bare hook down
in the midst of the rushing fish, and
tv Camon g them hooked one in
J! 1 ; belly and drew it out on the ice. By
t , had teased running, I
f k- hurriedly cut a stiff stick, took
on his three hooks, and bound them to I
jm -nd and then shouted to his boy to
give the ice another chug.” 'The chug
as given, and helter-skelter rushed the I
ghtened fish by the holes again.
Drake used his stick and hooks to good
advantage, and before dark went home
happy with half a bushel of suckers. His
discovery served him well for a week,
when a warm rain, lasting two days,
melted the snow in the woods and he
was able to get to the settlement. Such
was the originof “chugging for suckers.”
HEALTH HINTS.
A London medical man says says: “Ba
careful in your dealings with home
radish. It irritates the stomach far ’store
than spice, and an overdose will bring
on an unpleasant sensation for d\ys.”
It is not true, says Dio Lew's, that ice
water is a good table drink The low
temperature checks digestion; even weak
tea or coffee is better than ice water.
There can no longer be a reasonable
doubt that this immense consumption of
ice water has greatly contributed to dis
eases of the kidneys.
When we feel unusually “torpid" and
heavy after meals, we may rest assured
there is indigestion somewhere. A tea
spoonful of lime-water taken in one-half
a tumbler of clear, moderately cold
water directly after meals, gives almost
instant relief. A few drops of the clear
juice of lemon is also effective.
It is stated in Nuggets that nothing,
probably, is more sure to cure rheumatism
than a morning and evening's vigorous
use of hair gloves upon every portion of
the skin. That congestion of the muscles
and the joints which characterizes rheu
matism is relieved by this powerful ap
peal of the hair gloves to the skin.
Dr. Lapatin, in the • “Proceedings of
the Caucasian Medical society,” advises
that fingers and toes which have been
slightly frostbitten, and which subse
quently suffer from burning, itching and
pricking sensations, should be painted, at
first once, and afterwards twice a day,
with a mixture of dilute nitric acid and
peppermint water in equal proportions.
After this application has been made for
three or four days, the skin becomes
darkened and the epidermis is shed,
healthy 7 skin appearing under it. The
cure is effected in from ten to fourteen
days. The author has found this plan
very effectual among soldiers, who were
unable to wear their boots in consequence
of having had frozen feet. They were in
this way soon rendered capable of return
ing to duty.
Sense of Smell in Insects.
In some insects a keenly developed
sense of smell appears to be the dominat
ing sense. Sir John Lubbock has shown
that the most intelligent of insects, the
social ants, seem incapable of appreciat
ing sounds, and that they make compara
tively little use of their small eyes. Their
leading sense is that of smell. It seems
to be by aid of this faculty that they find
j their way about, and follow their multi
farious daily avocations. A recent writer,
' speaking of the mode in which ants fol
j low an established trail, says:
“I have experimented with this, fre
| quently obliterating the scent for a space
:of but a few inches, and watching the
puzzled wanderers, each going an inch or
I less beyond his predecessors, hunting the
lost clue until the blank was finally
bridged over. After that, if the new
route, as re-opened, differed from the old
it was nevertheless rigidly followed, even
if longer.”
Again, as evidence that bees and but
terflies select the flowers which they visit
by means of smell rather than sight, a
writer says: “Bees and butterflies visit a
distinct variety, and for the time confine
their attention to it, settling on and suck
ing the honey of that variety only: e. g.
a bee settling on a scarlet geranium will
not go from it to another species or varie
ty, but gives its attention to that particu
lar variety only—never going from a
scarlet geranium to another scarlet flow
er, even if in contact—l never remarked
a bee go from a lily to an amaryllis, or
the reverse.”
W. M. Gabb, writing from St. Domin
go, with regard to the butterfly, says:
“My Indian servants always carried with
them a fermented paste of maize flour,
which they mixed w’ith water to the con
sistency of gruel, as a beverage. On our
arriving at the side of a stream in a nar
row gorge, invariably, within a few min
utes after they opened a package of this
paste, although there might not have
been a butterfly in sight before, those
most brilliant of their kind would come
sailing up, always from leeward.
I have made some of my best
catches in this manner. I have also
caught them by baiting with a piece
of over-ripe or even rotten banana. At
other times, they were almost unap
proachable.”—Dio Lewis' Nuggets.
A Charming Little Story.
Several years ago a resident of one of
the suburbs had the misfortune to become
totally blind, a cataract forming over his
eyes. While in this condition his wife
died. A young German girl, whom the
unfortunate man had never seen, was very
attentive to the wife in her last illness,
and, after her death, did what she could
to make the grief-stricken husband and
his two little children as comfortable as
possible.
Such devotion did not go unrewarded.
The blind man proposed and was accept
ed. He married the faithful girl. Two
children were the result of their union.
During his years of blindness the sight
less man never lost hopes that some day
he might again look into the beauties of
nature and the loved ones around him.
A physician was finally consulted, who
agreed to attempt the removal of the cat
aract. The operation was successful, and
he from whom the light of day had been
shut out so many years, saw again. He
was almost beside himself with joy. A
friend, who was at once recognized, came,
leading a lady, by the hand.
“Do you know who this is?” he said to
the happy fellow.
“No, I do not.”
“That is your wife,” and then the pair,
one of whom had never seen the other,
fell into each other’s arms, and a domes
tic scene of pathetic beauty ensued.
The two children were also brought
in to their father. He clasped them to
his beating heart, and all the miseries of
the past were forgotten in the pleasure of
that moment. This is a true story. The
actors in this life panorama, covering a
period of ten years, are all alive. The
husband seems as well as he ever did,and
is now in business in this city.—Cincin

?ARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Succession of Crops.
At a meeting of farmers held Mt Fram
ingham, Mass., Professor C. A. Goessman,
of Amherst, spoke upon “Rotation of
Crops.” He began his instructive dis
course with a history of the agriculture
of the past and its bearing on the pres
ent, pointing out what science has done
in the present century, and also the prin
ciples which underlie well recognized
modes in farm practice. The relation of
plants to the soil and the peculiar rela
tion which the construction of plants ex
erts were described, as well as the man
ures at our disposal for bringing about
conditions favorable to rotation. The
great value of chemical and commercial
fertilizers, said the speaker, as supple
ments to barnyard manures and other
home resources of manurial substances is
to-day universally conceded; they de
serve also as substitutes in various excep
tional conditions a recommendation. A
judicious selection of some special com
mercial fertilizer can supply quite fre
quently the deficiency of his soil and
thereby render a succession of crops re
munerative which otherwise would offer
no prospect of an economical success.
The main point to be kept in view in the
arrangement of an economical system of
rotation is to secure a desirable advan
tageous physical condition of the soil for
each crop to be cultivated. Some crops,
as potatoes, corn, and some grain crops,
if well manured, can more frequently be
raised upon the same lands without a ser
ious falling off than others, as, for in
stance, clover and other deep-rooted le
guminous plants. Winter grains prosper
best on a somewhat more compact soil;
clover, root crops in general, and hoed
crops require a well-pulverized soil to do
their best; a suitable mechanical condi
tion of the soil is evidently in these and
similar cases of a paramount importance
to liberal manuring. Professor Goess
nian concluded with these suggestions
concerning a system of rotation: 1.
Crops of the same character ought not to
be raised in close succession upon the
same lands; not grain crop after grain
crop or root crop after root crop. 2.
Crops which consume large proportions
of one or two kinds of mineral constitu
ents in particular ought to be succeeded
by those which require but a small quan
tity of them; hoed crops after grain
crops, or phosphoric acid consuming
crops after largely potassa containing
plants. 3. Shallow rooting plants should
follow deep rooting and foliaceous ones,
to economize the vegetable refuse mass
left behind by the latter. 4. Some kind
of hoed crop should be in the course
adopted, at least every few years, to as
sist in the destruction of obnoxious
weeds and insects as well as of
parasite growth of every de
scription. 5. The selection of crops
should be made, in a mixed farm man
agement in particular, with reference to
an ample supply of fodder crops to en
able the production of a liberal amount
of homemade manure for the home indus
try. 6. Each crop in the adopted course
should be placed in such a position as to
have the full benefit of a good prepara
tion of the soil and a proper time for
seeding. 7. Crops should also be placed
in such a position to each other as to en
able an advantageous distribution of the
work required during the season with
reference to the resources of labor at dis
posal. 8. The manure, in particular
the barnyard manure, should be liberally
given to the hoed crops and all those
crops which necessitate a thorough me
chanical preparation of the soil for their
successful cultivation, to be thoroughly
incorporated into the soil and facilitate
the destruction of the growth of foul
seeds. 9. The entire system of cultiva
tion and application of manure of every
description should be devised with a view
to benefit all parts.of the producing area
of the farm. 10. The industry adopted
should strive to secure from the lands un
der cultivation the highest pecuniary re
turns, with a fixed determination to im
prove rather than to impair the produc
tiveness of the lands engaged for its
operation.
Farm and Garden Notes.
Cornstalks cut, crushed and salted will
keep the stock quiet between meals on the
cold winter days.
The best temperature to keep apples is
as near the freezing point as possible with
out actual freezing.
A man’s farm is a volume, every acre
of which is a page bearing the marks of
his character, indicating the degree of
mental and moral culture to which he has
attained.
The connection between good grass and
good butter is very close, and it matters
not how good a breed of cattle is used it
is impossible to make good butter with
poor pasturage.
iV good houskeeper has two thorough
house-cleanings every year, one in the
spring and one in the fall; a good farmer,
two thorough barnyard cleanings at about
the same time.
The last legislature’s oleomargarine
law has been effective, says the Massa
chusetts State board of health. Less of
the stuff is sold and much of that is dis
tinctly labeled as oleomargarine.
The United States imported seeds this
year to the value of about $4,500,000. It
would seem that a country tropical,
and temperate, as is its climate, might
rai*e the seeds required for general
planting.
Drainage is not less valuable to the
stockraiser tliun to the grain farmer. It
lengthens the season both in the spring
and fall, keeps the soil from poaching,
and allows the cultivation of the finer
and more nutritious grasses—three most
important considerations.
The Boston Cultioator thinks that the
Guernsey breed of cattle have been over
shadowed by the greater popularity of
Jerseys, but are well worthy of equal at
tention, and that, giving as rich milk as
the Jerseys, they yield a larger mess and
are considerably larger themselves.
If manure is to be used in the orchard
it should never be fresh, or such as will
quickly ferment. That which has been
thoroughly composted, or well decom
posed, is best. Wood mold, mixed with
lime and ashes, has been found excellent,
and the better the manure in fineness of
condition and freedom from decomposing
matter the less liability of the trees to
disease.
Burn all old rubbish, prunings, etc.,
about the garden, vineyard and berry
patches. Loose materials lying aliont
will afford a harbor for insects, many of
which but for this would froeee. Ai.ent
this, Mr. Samuel Edwards, of Illinois,
who knows something about killing in
sects, says a little kerosene applie 1 be
fore lighting the fire is an excellent aid
in burning damp brush or other refuse.
Anent gray horses, the Z./iv Stork Jour
nal, London, says gray is a color which
is promishing to become fashionable
among draft-horse breeders; that the
gray horse is the favorite horse of art,
also of the general public; and the Jour
nal would like to see it better esteemed in
the show-ring.
London Garden says that “the soonei
the notion is dispelled that roses, in order
to make them grow vigorously, must
be cut back to mere stumps, showing two
or three buds, the better.” The florists
of the United States long ago ceased to
cut close, as they have ceased the prun
ing of trees into the thin, umbrella form
supposed to suit the moist climate of
England.
The old practice of raising pumpkins
in the corn field is not as much followed
as it should be. Experience has shown
that not only can as much corn be pro
duced with a pumpkin crop as without
it, but that the value of the latter as
food for milch cows in winter, as well as
when fed to hogs when fattening, is large
and positive. No crop can be raised
with less expense, nor any that is more
beneficial to the health of the animals
than an occasional mess or two of pump
kins.
Household Recipes and Hints.
The flavor and crispness of celery are
increased by soaking the stems in ice
water for a short time before the stalks
are placed on the table.
A cheap paint for a floor can be made
with five pounds of French ochre and a
quarter of a pound of glue, dissolved in
two quarts of boiling hot water; then
apply enough boiled linseed oil to make
the paint flow easily from the brush.
Any man can paint a kitchen floor, and
save the women work by so doing.
Prof. Wagner publishes analyses in
support of his conclusion that steamed
potatoes are far more nutritious than
boiled ones. In the process of boiling,
the vegetables give up considerable por
tions of nutritious salts, while they also
take up more water than when steamed,
and become proportionately weaker.
Time to roast. The time required for
roasting turkey ten pounds weight,
stuffed, is three hours; over ten pounds,
four hours; under ten pounds, not less
than two hours. A chicken will roast
in a half hour or less, a goose takes one
and three-fourths hours, or more, accord
ing to size, a young duck nearly an hour.
To make apple jelly, cut the apples in
small pieces without paring and stew till
soft, using more water than for apple
sauce. Strain through a hair sieve, then
through a jelly bag twice. To a pint of
juice put three-fourths of a pound of
sugar—one pound to a pint makes it too
sweet—and boil until the right thickness
is obtained. The addition of lemons
makes it much nicer.
The following is the composition of a
scouring ball which is useful for many
purposes: Dissolve some good white soap
in alcohol, and mix with it the yolks of
four or five eggs; add gradually a little
spirits of turpentine and sufficient fuller’s
earth to make the mixture into balls. To
remove a stain on clothing wet the spot
with soft water, rub it with a ball of the
above composition, then rub the cloth
and wash out.
Pipe-clay, otherwise called Delaware
clay, and water mixed together into a
paste, and spread over dingy boards will
make them quite white if left to dry and
stand for a little time. Another way is
to take five parts of Potter’s clay to one
part each to pearlash and soft soap, mix
as a paste with boiling water, lay it on
the boards quite hot, leave it to dry over
night, and then scour it off with soap
and sand in the morning.
A young goose not more than four
months old is nice cooked in this way:
After dressing and singeing it carefully
sprinkle pepper and salt and a little sage
in the inside; put a lump of butter in
also to moisten it; then put it into a pan
and then into the oven; baste it fre
quently w’ith water in which you have
put some butter and pepper and salt and
a little bacon fat. Serve with a nice
brown gravy and with gooseberry jam or
apple-butter. Cover the platter with
thin slices of buttered toast moistened
with the drippings in the pan; then lay
the goose upon it.
Roasted cheese is excellent for the
cheese course in a dinner, and is also a
good dish for either luncheon or supper.
It is made of half a dozen slices of bread,
a quarter of a pound of cheese, two
tablespoonfuls of butter, the yolks of two
eggs, one teaspoonful of dry mustard,
one-fifth of a teaspoonful of cayenne, and
half a teaspoonful of salt. Break the
cheese into bits. Put it into the mortar
with the other ingredients (save the
bread), and pound all to a smooth paste.
Toast the bread, and after spreading it
with the mixture, lay it in a pan and put
into a hot oven for four minutes. Serve
at on co.
A Queer Memento.
A singular “memento” ring was worn
by Carl Hoffmann, for many years chief
editor of the Wiener TogehlrM, who died
lately at Vienna. Down to his last hour
he wore upon the forefinger of his right
hand an iron ring, which some three de
cades ago, he had made for him out of
the link of a chain he had borne as a
political prisoner during two long and
weary years of incarceration, varied by
hard labor. — London Queen.
A Dream.
I floated in an azure sky,
In ecstasy I sailed on high,
From off a silver lx«m of light
I glided to a downward flight;
And turning, like a toilless kite,
I rushed down to the earth below,
With increasing speed I go,
Like a meteor, shooting through.
The rushing wind, I downward flew,
Toward the earth, which nearer grew,
Faster! Faster! through the gloom,
Nearer, nearer, to my doom.
A minute more —a secumd — Crash! I I
