Story of Man Who Know Fish Whoa
Ho Saw Them, Also a Bail

William C. Harris, angling ed
itor of Outing, and rightly called
the Izaak W'alton 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

ill 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 30 hours he was on
the stream with a local represen
tative or the ranroaa. ne waueu
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
whiteflsh.”
Then he took the train for New
York and kept his engagement.
A MAN AND HIS SHOES.
The Thicker the Soles He Wear* the
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 for all
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. Thej
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. Ju
Germany, however, the race for
commercial supremacy has led to
the establishment of Sunday
schools at which mechanics are
given practical instruction in
their trades. There is, for exam
pie, a school for masons, at which
the students, many of them me
ehanics who work during the
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
ers, and followers of other trades
—even barbers and blacksmiths.
Gold in New South Wales.
Preliminary returns issued by
the department of mines, New
South Wales, show a big increase
in the gold production of that
state for 1903, as compared with
the output for 1902. The yield for
1903 is valued at £1,080,029, which
represents an increase of £395,059
ove* the total of the previous yea r.

Oud Additions to the English L*a*
gjage Occasionally Heard in
This Country and Eng
land.
"Mysophobia” is one of the latest ad
ditions to the English language. It is
the name, of a complaint which most
people will recognize. Probably its
commonest name is morbid fastidious- i
ness. Persons who suffer from myso- i
phobia, says the London Hour Glass,
become very faddy in their manner.
They are very particular that there is
not even a spot on the tablecloth’s
snowy surface. Every plate and dish
and glass that is brought to them la
eagerly scanned for any trace of dirty
fingers. Everything must be unsoiled
and immaculate. In the advanced
stage of mysophobia the sufferer is
unable to resist the temptation to wlps
1 every article that is placed before him.
It doe3 not matter how clean or pure It
may be, the wiping prooess has to be
gone through.
“Unciniariasis” is anothr novel com
plaint, or, rather, it is a novel name for
an old complaint. It is the disease which
causes the existence, in certain states, of
degenerates known as “crackers," of
“poor whites;" in fact, It Is the germ of
laziness which has been isolated. In ad*
ranced stages the sufferer eats clay be
sides being unusually lazy. At one of
the London police courts the magistrate
was sorely amazed by a witness describ
ing the prisoner as a "trance." It turned
out eventually that a “trance" Is a man
i who is given a Mft from the country In a
market cart in return for which he as- j
sists the cartman to unload. “A dead
homer” was armther oiirimis eYnresstnn i
used in a London police court. The de
tective said it was a well-known expres- :
sion used by a person when he could not i
very well free himself from a charge ,
which was hanging over his head. In j
the case in question the charge was that
of stealing lead. It was unfortunate for
the prisoner that he wras a “dead
homer.”
A “gawkrodger," "scrammy,” “daggy,**
and a “cuddypaw” are all different Eng
lish names for a left-handed man. But
a “jambiste” is about the latest name.
This eame out in a case in which a per- ;
son wTas sued for lessons given in danc
ing. The defendant denied that he re
ceived any lessons, but said that he sim
ply attended the dancing classes as a
jambiste. A jambiste, it is explained, is
a young society man who occupies his
leisure hours by acting as an auxiliary
at a school of dancing. He is there for
the purpose of dancing with any of the
women who are in want of a partner.
It appears that he furnishes his services
at the dancing school gratuitously. His
hope of reward usually is that he may
meet a rich young heiress at the school,
and be able to marry her.
“Eiectrofannite” is a peculiar kind of
indisposition produced by the draught
from an electric fan or ventilator.
A “kitchen piano” is a name which
might puzzle a good many people. It ap
peared in a case tried at theClerkenwell
county court that among furniture mov
ers a wringer or mangle Is invariably
known as a “kitchen piano.”
The “dotter" is an instrument which
has now been adopted bv the admiralty.
By the use of this Instrument the firing
accuracy of the weapon Is enhanced
greatly. With its aid a gunner has been
able to hit a target at 2,000 yards eight
times with eight shells in one minutrt.
After all, the dotter has a good homelj
ring about it.
A terrible new name Is “Thymace
tinoxaethylacetamidothymol.” It is
highly recommended as amedicamenttn
people who suffer from “nerves.” It has
been found, however, that In a few cases
it falls in its effect, in which case an ex
cellent substitute is stated to be Acety
limidcoxyathyhymol. An excellent
thing for the nerves!
Starting “Run” on Bank.
While a woman was waiting to de
posit five dollars in a New England
savings bank she saw a man draw
out $900. She had never before seen
so much money at once, and concluded
that the bank could not stand such a
heavy drain on its resources. She told
her" friends about it, and the news
spread that the bank was in danger.
A “run” followed, and the depositors
were not satisfied that the bank was
sound until between ten and twenty
thousand dollars had bedu withdrawn.
The men who read this paragraph need
not say that the thing would not have
happened if it had not been for a silly
woman. Full-grown men, with years
of business experience, do just as silly
things when they get frightened about
losing their money.—Youth’s Compan
ion.
Xuroki’s Name.
Several French soldiers, survivors of I
the Chinese expedition of 1856, are re
sponsible for the statement that Gen.;
Kuroki is in reality haif French. His
name, they say, is properly spelled
Curique. According to the story of
these soldiers, a French officer, Capt.
Curique, while serving in China in
1856, married a Japanese girl. A son
was born to them, who was given the
Japanese name Kuroki, corresponding
to the French Curique. This son, it
is said, is Gen. Kuroki. Capt. Curique
died last year in France.—London

Wouldn’t Give Him Time.
Brokeleigh—I did think of ordering
a suit from Cutts, but I couldn't get him
to proniise to give it to me on time.
Newitt—Why, he’s usually very

Brokeleigh—Oh, yes; but he wanted
me to be equally prompt,— Philadelphia
