That Portion of the Line to h the Hook ts Attached. From the One thing which a fisherman who knows anything about the art of fishing will have right is the gut and its accompaniment, the hook. Sukworms, it would appear, not only contribute the silk that goes to the con- stitution of the ordinary line, but their in- testines are manipulated in the manufacture of that portion of the line to which the hook 1s attached. The figures quoted to me as ex- pressing the number of silkworms annually destroyed for gutmaking I found to be al- most incredible. In one manufactory alone from 6,090,000 to 8,000,000 strands of gut are used ernually—each strand representing a silkworm. Holding a hank of gut in my hand, I was informed that the worms from which its strands were drawn were raised in Spanish Murcia by peasants whose sole livelihood depended upon thetr skill at worm farming. “The eggs,” said mine host, “are imported into Murcia from Sicily, and are tended by women in the most regular and careful man- rer. The worms are fed upon mulberry leaves at regular intervals; between the periods of feeding they sleep. This goes on for three weeks, when full growth is attained; then they are collected into buckets of diluted sulphuric acid, which kills them instantly and hardens their skins. Sold by weight to gutmakers, they are qu operated upon to obtain the gut. The girls employed in such a manufactory break the skin, take the end of the gut between thumb and forefinger, and draw it out into a straight strand; ft-is then cleaned by a secret proc silver sh thickn ss, bleached until a beautiful en appears, sorted into lengths— es and waste strands being thrown out—bunched up into hanks of 100 strands, 10 hanks constituting a bunch, and 10 bunches, or 10,000 strands, a bundle, ware- housed and sent out to order.

From the Covington, Ga., Enterprise. We are told that a mad dog made its ap- pearance near Almon one-day last week, and Mr. John Holder was sent after to shoot it, being one of the best shots in that section. When Mr. Holder hove in sight the dog made a dash for him, but he quickly fired, tearigg half of the dog's head off. In a moment the dog recovered and again tried to get to Mr. Holder, who fired the other barrel of his gun, tearing the other half of: the dog's head off. Headless though he was, the dog again started toward Mr. Holder, who broke the stock of his gun over the brute’s back. About this time a negro ran up with an ax and cut the dog half in two. To the astonishment of Mr. Holder and others present, one half of the dog started up the road towarti Conyers, while the other half jumped in a ditch and made off in the direction of Salem camp ground.

Route Pursued in Traversing the In- land passage From New York—In the Delaware River Today. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., December 17.—The torpedo boat Cushing, which is making an experimental trip by the infand route from the Brooklyn navy yard to Washington, en- tered the Delaware river from the Raritan canal at 11 a.m. today, and immediately pro- ceeded southward by way of the Maryland canal. The course of the Cushing, which left New York yesterday to come to this city by the inside passage, will be through the Raritan canal and the Chesapeake and Del- aware canal. It is expected that Annapolis will be reached tomorrow. There a stop of one day will be made, and then the Cush- ing will go down Chesapeake bay and round Point Lookout into the Potomac. Washingtor. may be reached some time Thursday. But the trip may take until Fri- day, as it will be made in a leisurely way. Last spring the Cushing went north part of the way by caral, says the New York Sun, but she has never yet completed the inland journey at a season when the canals contain so much ice as they do, for a part of the distance, at present. Two years ago. when the Cushing attempted to come to Washington by the inland route, she was not successful. In the Raritan river, below New Brunswick, the ice was found to be so thick that it was feared the boat would be unable to make her way through. It was then decided by Lieut. Fletcher, her com- mander, to return to New York, and the journey to Washington was made by sea. At that time the Cushing encountered a severe gale, which delayed her for four days. During most of this time she was in Delaware Breakwater, but when she reach- ed Washington it was found that she had been considerably injured. An Interesting Experiment. Lieut. Smith, who is her commander, said to a Sun reporter before the start: “The trip is something of an experiment, but we have sailed these inland waters enough to understand them pretty well. The only thing that can interfere with our plans is ice, and I do not think that it will be found in ‘sufficient thickness to give us much trouble. “The inland route is to be taken at my suggestion, and for several reasons. In the first’ place it will serve to demonstrate the tact that the trip is feasible. Then, too, we shall avoid the danger of injury from rough weather at sea, and, third, the trip will be of value as giving the men experience in that kind of work. In the event of war, it might be necessary to use the inland route frequently, ard by sending the men over it as often as fs possible they wiil gain experi- ence in navigating those waters. “As one object of the trip is to get an ac- quaintance with the route, we shall pro- ceed slowly, making note cf the course as we go alorg. For the shallow waters we shall obtain the services of local pilots, but the rest of the way we shall try to set along by ourselves. Of course, on a gov- ernment vessel, even when a pilot is on hand to advise, the commanding officer is not relieved of responsibility, as is the case on a merchant vessel when a pilot takes cherge. I shall be responsible for the safe conduct of the Cushing from ihe time we leave Brooklyn until we reach Washington. I don’t know just what our speed will be, but we shall prcceed with half-boiler power." Previous Inland Trips. The Cushing has already made one or two trips on inland waters. Last spring she went from Norfolk, Va., to Jacksonville, Fla., by inland waters, except about 200 miles by sea. The regular summer cruis- ing ground of the Cushing is Narragaasett bay. This year she is to receive new boiler tubes. Her present tubes are six years old. The Cushing was launched at the Her- reshoff yards in 1880. In her trial trips she made a reputation for eed which she has ever since maintained. She was named af- ter Lieut. Cushing, who destroyed the con- federate irorciad Albemarle with a torpedo. She is described as a torpedo boat of the first class, 188 feet long and 15 feet heam. Her draught is feet, and the shallowest water she will pass through on her trip to Washington is seven feet. As the Cushing les in the water her ap- pearance suggests a very black and tightly rolled cigar. She is built of steel. Cushing to Be Overhauled. There 1s no special significance in the trip beyond the fact that it will be made by the inland water route, which has never before been traversed by this vessel in winter time. The presence of ice will pre- vent any attempt at record making. Under the most favorable conditions the highest speed practicable in the canals ts about eight miles an hour. A greater speed wouid cause a dangercus “wash” in the narrow, shallow chanrels. The Cushing is coming to the Washington navy yard ‘in order to be overhauled and repaired. Her boilers are to be removed and sent to Wheeling, W. Va., for retubing. Consequently she is likely io be tied up at the yard for at least six weeks, and it is Possible shc may remain there until next spring. There is no certainty as to the time of her arrival. She will not be pushed and will lay over at night. Included in her car- go Is a consignment of smokeless powder, to be tested in the thirteen-inch rifle at the Indian Head proving ground. OVERBOARD IN A GALE. The Captain of a Fishing Schooner Has n Lively Time. “From the Keston Herald. Capt. Manuel Caton of the Adams fishing schooner Sea Fox, just in from the Georges fishing banks, tells a thrilling story of his adventures in the last gale and snow storm. While the vessel was laboring in the worst part of the gale he ordered the crew to set the mainsail, to work her away from dangerous shoals to leeward. “When the crew had cast off the s said the captain, “I reached for the down- haul to clear it as they hoisted. The wind just at that moment caught the cany: and with a slat it came to the leeward, striking me in the back, and in an instant I was twenty feet away and overboard. I the water a, but, fortu- 1 was to eward, and as I came up I saw the craft broadside on drift- ing toward me. One of my men, named Marion, saw me disappear, and quick as a flash sent a coil of rope spinning after me. His aim was true, and as I came up the rope lay against my arms, and I grabbed it. “I was goon wlongside, but in the worst part of my scrape. The Fox was rolling fearfully, while the cross seas threw me ound like a ball—one moment I would bang against her side and the next be far away. The reef tackle soon swung toward me, and I grabbed it; but I didn’t tind my new hold any improvement. I was thrown in ail directions, but held on. I swallowed lots of water, and the wrenching I got was fast using me up. “My men would have had hard work lift- ing me up with my wet clothes had the 1 been at the wharf, as | weigh more n two hundred pounc nd, excited as were, it was useless for them to try it I told them 1 couldn't hold on much ger, and to make fast a rope and launch a doy.

I knew I could not get in alone, and shouted for some one to come in her, ley hauled the boat back as near as possible, and making a daring leap, two brothers, August and Manuel Louis, reach- ed the dor: rs rapidly let drift down to me. There was still danger of a capsize and having three men in the water instead of one, but the boys, afterva u struggle, got me _in, and we were soon on the deck of the Fox.’ Pees —— Brains for the Children, From the New Yerk Weekly.

From the Butte Inte fountain. ‘One of the most remarkable cases ever known in the history of spiritualism is agi- tating the scommunity in the vicinity of Westfield, S. D. Several months ago Henry, the fourteen-year-old son of John Small, a well-to-do farmer near the village, died of consumption, after a lingering Illness of over ‘a year. The elder Small and his wife were somewhat advanced in years. Henry was the only remaining child of a large family, and for a long time the couple were quite In- consolable. They are spiritualists, however, and, after a time, began to tell their friends that they had received several visits from their dead son, who had told them that his absence was only temporary, and that he would be with them again in a few weeks. ‘mong the lad’s companions had been a Scandinavian named Nels Larsen, a boy aged seventeen or eighteen, whom John Small had for several years employed as an assistant in his farm work.
