Its Various Uses Nets That Can Be Car ried In a Fishing Rod Case. A landing net can be bought for 50 cents. jOne can buy a crab net for 15 cents, but a crab net, properly speaking, is not a landing net The landing net for 50 cents has a ring and a handle of willow, the handle being from 15 to 18 inches in length. Such a net is used1 by a man wad ing in a stream or for dipping up smaller fishes from a boat.. Landing nets with handles from 4 to 6 feet in length are used for dipping up fish from the bank or lar ger fish from the boat.. These handles are of bamboo, and the longer handles are jointed. The rings are either jointed or collapsi ble for greater convenience of. carriage when not in use Jointed rings are divid ed, tiome into halves, some into thirds and some into quarters, wl ich may be folded together. Collapsible rings are made of steel in two parts, which axe spread out to form the ring when the net is in use and which lie flat together when the net is col lapsed. The handle unscrews, and the collapsed ring with the ' net rolled around it is laid alongside the handle. It all oc cupies but very little space. CollapsibJe nets with jointed bamboo handles sell from $2 to $7. For $5 the purchaser gots a land ing net of the best kind, with a net of braided linen, waterproofed; for $7, one with a net of braided silk, enameled. Such nets are articles of steady sale. A man who buys fine fishing rods, who may -perhaps pay $50 or $75 for a single rod, doesn't hesitate to pay$5 or $7 for a land ing; net of corresponding quality, and he has a place for it in his fishing rod case. New York Sun. To Prepare Game For the Table. Certain birds do not require to be drawn, in. the estimation of epicures. These are the woodcock, snipe and golden plover, al though as a concession to the prejudice of norae the plover is sometimes drawn, but tin important point to emember is thai; game should never be washed inside, but merely wiped with a clean cloth. With few exceptions game should never be underdone, while If overdone it tough ens and is ruined. Wild duck, teal and pigeon are the exceptions, which should be rather underdone. Next to the open fire, the double roasting pan gives it the best result, and frequent basting is impera tive. - ' " . Slices of fat 'bacon'' skewered over the breast will improve most game, and in the case of quails, ortolans and such small birds some cooks add a vino leaf. In the case of young game there is no better way of cooking than roasting or broiling, but it is often . necessary td cook old birds, and from these no end of tooth some dishes can be made in the way of pies, gelatins, ragouts, soups, eta New York Herald. , : 1 Perseus and Andromeda. , "I have .comey" announced Perseus, "to strike off thy chains!'-' Andromeda cast down her eyes and fingered her dance pro gramme nervously. ."Do you really think the"bevel gear is an assured success?" she ..fnally, faltered.

Detroit Journal.' . v It is not generally known that by an act of the English parliament, passed in 1855, it is enacted that all wedding, rings must be of standard gold, the enactment being intended more .to' raise the amount of the gold duties than to protect the public from imitations. . , . -;' SPECIAL RAILROAD RATES.

Although an Afghan woman is supposed to exist entirely for the benefit of her lord and master, she is nob always as meek as might be ' expected under these circum stances. When a man has many wives, one par ticular one may not see him for many days at a time, but it is not considered proper for him to stay away from her as long as he feels inclined, particularly if she be of high social position. The result of such an experiment on the part of a man married to the granddaughter of the great ameer was that he actually suffered personal vio lence at her hands, and then the story got abroad and he became the laughing stock of the court. ' He had neglected to visit his august wife for 20 days, and when at last he did go she was . dining off a leg of mutton. Feeling like a schoolboy who has failed in his attendance at school, the delinquent husband sat down to the food, trying to appear unconscious of any neglect or mis conduct. The lady, too, appeared guiltless of any irritable feelings or sinister designs. She quietly (with her fingers, of course) picked all the meat off the bone and laid the pieces before her husband, who gra ciously accepted the delicate little atten tions she bestowed upon him and thought he was goirfg to escape cheaply. But he was mistaken, for no sooner had she completed the operation than she raised her weapon of vengeance aloft and struck him with 6uch force as to make a ' considerable wound, the broken end of the mutton bone being no doubt sharp and jagged. The next day the man appeared at court With his head all plastered up, and the story soon came out, to his intense morti fication and disgust. New York Tribune. A Tennessee lady, MrsTj. W. Towle, of LPhiladelphia, Tenn., has been using Cham berlain's Cough Remedy for her baby, who is subject to croup, and says of it: "I find It just as good as you claim it to be. Since I've had your Cough Remedy, baby has been threatened with croup ever so many times, but I would give him a dose of the Remedy and it prevented his having it ev ery time." Hundreds of mothers say the same. -Sold by W. C. Carmiohael, drug gist. Try our peanut brittle, made fresh every day.

I cannot say enough for its merits." Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds is not an experiment. It has been tried for a quar ter of a century, and today stands at the head.
