WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 23, 1896. One's First Salmon Is an Event. One's first salmon is an event. I pot mine all alone. It was on the Dungar? von, on my "way into the more remote interior. In a clear pool we could see the green backs of the fish, big and lit? tle, but they were not after our flies. The others went up the stream a considera? ble distance, and I remained by the pool. It needs two men to land a salm? on. Presently 1 began idly casting, just to try my new 18 foot rod, and the first thing I knew a fish was hooked. He galloped around that pool, jumping out, darting back and forth, and I wad? ed right in. After awhile I got him pretty tired. I had no landing net or gaff, but there was a smooth gravel bar 40 rods below. Then I towe'i the unfor? tunate fish down there, got him headed for shore and ran straight back on the bar. Out he came, flopping somersaults on the gravel. The gut leader broke, but I threw myself on top of that salm? on and clasped my arms around him. He was slippery and strong, and I could not hold him. Finally I got my fingers in his gills, reached for a stone and gave him three or four merciless whacks over the head. Then I had him. I was a sight to behold, wet and bespattered with mud and slime, but I was too proud as well as too nearly out of breath for words.-Frederic Irland in Scrib? ner's. Weight Before and After Keals. "Why is it that a man does not weigh a pound more after eating a pound of food than he did before? A little reflec? tion will readily explain this apparent mystery. During the process of masti? cation, deglutition, etc., certain muscles are brought into active play. Now it is a well established fact in physiology that the exercise of any muscle or set of muscles necessitates a temporary waste of tissue, and that a certain amount of carbon is eliminated and passed off dur? ing the course of a meal. This loss, however, is trifling as compared with that of' respiration and perspiration, both of which functions are increased during the operation of making a meal. The length of time one may take to consume a pound of food makes but lit? tle difference in the losses. If it be eaten leisurely there is but slight increase of respiration or perspiration, whereas, if it be hurried through, both are abnor? mally accelerated. Hence by the time the meal is finished the consumer has lost appreciably in both moisture and carbonic acid. The above explains, in a rough but clear manner, why it is that a man may eat a ponrid of food and yet not weigh but from one-third to five-eighths of a pound more than he did before the meal. -St Louis Republia A Costly Watch. "While in Geneva some months ago, " writes a correspondent, "1 visited the principal watch works there and as a matter of curiosity asked the manager what was the highest priced watch that was made in Geneva. He said that the most expensive watch turned out in Switzerland was worth ?140. "T-his watch had a split second hand and struck the hours if needed. It also had in it a tiny musical box which played three distinct tunes. This watch, he said, was the finest that could be made, although one ornamented with diamonds or with gems worked into the case would of course run the price np into as many thousands as the purchaser desired. "He said there had been one watch made in his establishment the cases of which had been studded with diamonds, and which had cost ?3,400, but so far as the watch itself was concerned it was worth only ?140."-Pearson's Weekly. _ A Poor Passport. A sheriff of Edinburgh had forgotten his twopenny ticket Asked for fare, he said "I have paid it." "Then where's your ticket?" "I have lost it" "Then you must pay again. " "Come, now, my friend," said the sheriff, "just look into my face and tell me dot look like a man who would tell you a lie for such a triSe as twopence?' ' The cash taker inspected the countenance thus offered as a guarantee for its owner's integrity and then dryly said, "I'll just thank you for the twopence."-San Francisco Argonaut Wealth of Nations. The total wealth of Great Britain, with all her possessions, is estimated by an American authority to be $40,000, 000,000. France comes next with $37.- i 500,000,000. The wealth of the six lar- j gest nations in the world aggregates $165,000.000,000. Did Toa Ever Try Electric Bitters as a remedy tor your troubles ? If net, get a bottle now and get re? lief.
