ONLY A RIVER WHITEFISH.
Story of Man Who Know Fish When
He Saw Them, Also a Ball*
road “Ad.”
William C. Harris, angling ed
itor of Outing, and rightly called
the Izaak Walton of America, is a
man who can come pretty near to
telling exactly what fish you will
find in Blank brook, in Blank
township of Blank county, Idaho,
Texas or Rhode Island. New fish
es and new facts about them, he
loves as a miser loves gold, only
he does not hoard them, but gath
ers them to give out again.
One day Harris chanced to be in
St. Paul. He was talking with
General Passenger Agent Charlej
Fee, who said Harris should go to
Montana to catch grayling in a
stream at that time much adver
tised.
Harris said there were no gray
ling in the stream. The railroad
man laughed at him as a New
Yorker who pretended to know
more about a certain Montana
river than a man who had fished it.
The dispute waxed warm,. Har
ris was due in New York on a
certain day, and by taking the first
train west he could have six hours
on the stream and still keep his en
gagement. In 36 hours he was on
the stream with a local represen
tative of the railroad. He waded
in, made one cast, and was fast to
a silvery thing that tore about
mightily like that of a grayling.
It came to the net, and the local
representative of the railroad
fairly shouted:
‘There, there; it’s a grayling”’
“Pack this carefully in moss,”
said Harris. “Send it to your gen
eral passenger agent.” Then he
walked to the telegraph office and
wired that official:
“Am sending one of your gray
ling. It’s an infernal old river
whitefish.”
Then he took the train for New
York and kept his engagement.
A MAN AND HIS SHOES.
The Thicker the Soles He Wears tlu
Larger the City from Which
He Hails.
“You can almost tell from
what country a man comes by the
weight of his shoes,” said J. W.
Davy, of Chicago, who represents
a shoe company, to a Milwaukee
Sentinel reporter. “You might
not believe it,” he continued, “but
the thicker the soles of his shoes
the larger the city from which he
comes. In New York it is almost
a fad, and the soles of the shoes
there are exceedingly heavy.
They are almost as heavy in Chica
go. Men there wear shoes to pro
tect their feet. They have not
time enough, it seems, to bother
with rubbers. So they make one
pair of shoes do the work tor ail
kinds of weather. Here in Mil-;
waukee and in other cities of this
size, I notice, the men wear light
shoes and rubbers. I suppose
they have time enough to wear the
overshoes. Up in the country 1
find that in many places leather
boots are not worn at all for sev
eral of the winter months. They
wear heavy socks and then put
rubber overshoes over these.”
German “Sunday Schools.”
In England the term “Sunday
school” has a definite meaning,
and is exclusively used to denote
a place of religious teaching. Iu
permany, however, the race for
commercial supremacy has led t®
the establishment of Sunday
schools at which mechanics are
given practical instruction is
their trades. There is, for exam
ple, a school for masons, at which
the students, many of them me
chanics who work during th®
week, spend several hours on Sun
day morning in learning the high
er branches of their craft. Sim
ilarly there are Sunday schools for
tailors, ironmongers, bookbind
era, and followers of other trades
—even barbers and blacksmiths.

No More Than 22 Ceuta—
An Experiment.
To live luxuriously on 66 cents
a day has been made easy by the
department of domestic science at
Teachers’ college, Columbia uni
versity. Meals at 22 cents apiece
have been prepared, and, what is
more to the point, eaten with ap
parent relish by unbiased per
sons, sayathe New York Sun.
In addition, the chemical constit
uents in the fdod have been care
fully weighed and measured, and
it has been discovered that
enough proteids, fats and carbo
hydrates exist in the 22-cent meal
to support men working with the
customary expenditure of force.
At least, the text-books say that
the quantities are all right.
The manner in which the discov
ery was made is somewhat as fol
lows: Dean Bussell planned a
luncheon to some friends, and
thought it would be a clever idea
to have the meal prepared by the
department of domestic science.
The teachers laid out the plan of
battle and the students did the
cooking.
The luncheon was served to six
persons. "The total cost of materi
als was $2.02, from which was de
ducted the value of the food not
actually consumed. This brought
the total cost down to $1.28 for the
six persons.
This was the menu:
Grapefrulr- .$ .M
Baked haddock .6*
Hollandaise sauce .10
Potatoes on the half shell.13
Rolls .17
Butter .08
Pickles .04
Tea -.02
Lettuce salad.10
Wafers .01
Cheese .10
Pineapple Sherbet.24
Angel cake .13
Total .32.02
The food value of the things con
sumed amounted to 6,491 calories.
This made the average amount
consumed 1,081.8 calories. Ac
cording to the textbook prepared
by Mrs. Ellen H. Richards, of the
Boston Science school, only 956.3
calories are necessary to sustain
men and women working moder
ately hard.
Miss M. B. Vail, insructor in do
mestic science at Teachers’ col
lege, who had charge of the lunch
eon, says that 22 cents would be a
fair average for all meals, so that
persons who pay more than
$240.90 a year are doing injustice
to themselves and their pockt
books.
THE BOASTER SUBSIDED.
Drummer Bragged of Getting a Bly
Order, Then Was Cleverly Ex
posed by a Joker.
The habitues of a certain sub
urban hostelry had long been
weary of the boastful chatter of
an intermittent guest of the com
mercial fraternity, and it was
with rare satisfaction that they
recently saw him annihilated, so
to speak, says the New York
Times.
“Had a splendid day,” he opened
up as usual; “spent an hour Id
old Simons’ store over in Rye and j
came out with a $2,000 order.”
He produced a notebook in sub
stantiation, as ‘Old Simons’” atti
tude toward gentlemen of his ilk
was well known, and the incredul
ity of his audience was not
masked. The notebook was hand
ed around for inspection and halt
ed with a gray-haired stranger
over in the corner.
“Oh, yet—the entry’s all right
enough,” he said, mildly, “but—
it’s very strange!”
“What’s strange?” demanded
the commercial man of might.
“Why, how it got there. I have
no recollection of giving any such
order, and if you wilhkindly tell
rue which of my employes author
ized it you will be conferring a fa
vor upon me. You evidently don’t
recognize me as Mr. Simons, of the
Rye firm, but—”
But the erstwhile boaster had
wilted oat of sight. His quondam
victims roared with delight.
“I say, that’s rich!” exclaimed
one of them; “it’s worth $50 to see
you take him down like that, Mr
Simons!”
“I didn’t say I was Mr. Simons,
sir,” returned the meek-looking
stranger; “in fact, I don’t know
the gentleman—any more than
the young man himself did!”

THE COUNTRY PHYSICIAN.
Has to Corsr an Immense Territory,
and That When the Roads
▲re Worst.
“Of all the men I medt on ray
rounds of the state there is none
for whom I have as great respect
as I have for the country doctor,’'
said the Southdown drummer
the other day, according to tie
Chicago Inter Ocean. “The city
physician is often a pretty hard
working man if he has much of a
practice, but he knows few of the
trials that the country doctor
faces the year round. The coun
try doctor is the modern mar
tyr, and take it all through he is
the best read and most aggres
sive citizen of his community.
“The country phsician who is
well established usually has a
practice that covers a territory
of at least a hundred square
miles. There is hardly a week in
the year that he does not have
patients at the extreme opposite
boundary lines of his territory.
I know one old doctdr down the
state who drives an average dis
tance of 20 miles a day every day
in the year. Of course there are
days when he does not drive five
miles a day, but there are other
times when he drives 30 or 40
miles a day.
“The worst side of country
practice, these doctors say, is
that the greater part of the sick
ness comes during the worst kind
of weather. When the roads are
good and the weather is fine peo
ple are not so apt to be sick, but
when winter comes on and the
roads are rough or muddy the
country doctor is the man who
has to be out and going. _
“The mud roads of Illinois
have snipped ten years off the
lives of the majority of the doc
tors. One physician told me he
was the first man of his family
name to become gray, and he laid
the blame to exposure. •
“The country doctor is not
merely a physician. He is a sort
of family counselor, nurse, spirit
ual and legal adviser. I heard of
a physician flown in the southern
part of the state who conducted
a sort of vest-pocket bank and
loaned money and discounted
notes for nearly every farmer
within the range of his practice.
“Yes, sir, I always take off my
hat to the country doctor wher
ever I meet him.”
THE CAUSE OF LEPROSY.
Dr. Jonathan Hutchinson, of Eng
land, Says It Is the Eating of
Decomposing Eish.
The conclusion of Dr. Jonathan
Hutchinson, of England, after a
study of leprosy as it appears in
various parts of the world, is that
the disease is caused wholly by
eating decomposing or imperfect*
ly cured fish. The London Times
is inclined to accept Dr. Hutchin
son’s idea. It is held that in all
countries and in all ages leprosy
has been and is still due to the
consumption of “high” fish. The
preference for fish in a tainted
condition is an “acquired taste”
and it is claimed that it prevails
among a sufficient number of peo
pie to account for the dreadful dis
ease wherever it exists. Leprosy
was nearly general in England
and on the continent in the six
teenth century, and it is claimed
still prevails in many fishing sta
tions, especialy in Norway, Ice
land and Tracadie. It is repre
sented that at these places there
is still a preference for fish in a
tainted condition. It is noted,
says the Cincinnati Enquirer,
that in regions where leprosy was
formerly common, it has disap
peared with the advancement of
agriculture and the discarding of
fish for food. In India vegetari
ans are free from it, but the fish
eaters are much troubled. Dr.
Hansen, of Bergen, discovered
that persons having leprosy carry
In their tissue a bacillus resem
bling that of tuberculosis, and the
disease is thought to be a mod
ification of tuberculosis, caused
by a specific virus developed in de
caying fish. The scientists, espe
cially those whose direction is in
the medical line, are always mak
ing it harder to get along in the
world; but it is probably better to
give heed to their theories, even if
there may be nothing in them, for
it may happen that a little care in
the selection of the dried fish we
eat may add a few years to life;
and it ia the general agreement
that life ia noue too long at boat.
