Old Gentleman Recalls to Mind a Catch That Was Really Worth While. “It was just such a day as this,” sald the old fisherman. “There was-a warm drizzly rain falling, with alight wind from the south, a most favorable day to fish, It‘was down on the south fork along In the late Nineties that I mage the big catch.” “How many did you get?” I asked, as [ moved my chair closer, so as not to miss any of the story. “Well, it. was no use to try to count them.” said the old fisherman, as he yefilled his pipe. “I was raking hay down on a big meadow near the river. when a big school of salmon trout came up, so I just drove back and forth across the river and raked them out, you could see piles of fish for miles on both sides of the river." “That sure must have been some big school of fish,” I remarked. “Well, that was the most fish T ever seen,” he said as he. tilted back fn his_chalt. and crossed his legs. “They had to put in newpiers under all the bridges on the river; those fish had completely worn them off when they rubbed them coming up the river.” “Were there any very big ones?” 1 asked. “Well, yes,” drolled the old man, “some of the farmers along; the river used the backbones of the largest ones, to stake their beans on.” “T suppose the ribs formed a ladder to gather the beans with,” I said. , “Yes, that's right,” said the old man a8 he' plodded down the hill.—Wash- Ington t Camping Grounds Bathing SOFT DRINKS Imnte; You Ever'y Dhy | —=Eléctric Lighted— ; LUNCHES - COFFEE Sold at the Park.

To_the average reader the name of St.; Paw’s Rocks is unfamiliar. = The average geography and map make no mention of St. Paul’s Rocks. They are, of - course, uninhabited. - The - little known island or rather group, lies one degree above the equator and 540 iles off the coast of South America. In the entire breadth of the Atlan- tle there is prohnbly‘ no land so re- mote.’ . The Rocks measure only abont 1,400 feet in 'length and some 700 feet in width. ‘There is no harbor worth the name the only entrance be- ing a narrow ‘inlet but a few feet In width. As' far as the records show, it has only been visited two or three times in the lagt 50 years, The -most famous visitor sto the Rocks was, doubtless, Charles Darwin, who landed there and ‘made ‘mi- nute inyestigations. 'His description of this visit is contained in his’book on volcanic islands. Darwln decided after careful investigation that the Rocks were mot of volcanic origin. They lie’ much too far south to ‘have been a part of the fabulous continent of Atlantis. In his report Darwin says that the island was composed of" rocks unlike any he had ever seen, and.adds that he was unable. to- char- acterize them by any name, Punishment, "She was: only. three years old,. but she i\was very vain. After all, age has iittle to do with vanity. Her governess found her the most difficult of the threé children to man- age, and the whole fnmlly was sur- prised when they discovered that the young girl ‘'who was hired to wheel the baby ot in the park could manage her as easily as It she were a model child, “How do you do it?” the mother agked one day. The girl ‘smiled. “She’s easy enough to ‘handle,” she sald. “Made- molselle always tries to reason with her.. That doesn’t do any good, be- cduse she just turns umthinking ears to her. But when I have her out, if she won't behave, I just take her lit- tle curls and tuck them away up um- der her hat so no one can see.them. Then ‘in about “two minutes 'she'll promise to be just as good as gold' if Tl only pull them out again.” Onions as Medicine. The Hebrews regarded the onlon merely for its culinary value. The Greeks were fond of both onions and garlic, the ‘former apparently used when drinking to incréase thirst and enchance the pleasures of the cup. But In palmy days of Rome the two vegetables had become largely the badge of the rabble. In the Middle ages any well-sét table contained a | plate of red onlons. The chief reputeH of the onion in medicine was as a diuretic and remedy for dropsy. ,This beliet has persisted up to the present time and it is somewhat strange to find that as early as 1853 ‘onions and | a milk diet were pronounced the best remedy for dropsy.
