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 nati Sun. ?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 Blank-Dash! THE REVELATION.
