The taking of a record-breaking 14- pound '13-ounce landlocked salmon by Edward Hyde, of Bath, Mec, was the feature of a week of excellent fishing. The was not ever taken in northern Maine inland waters. Rangeley's best is a 14-pound- er, taken about 1897, and a 13}-pound- er, secured two years later. Mr, Hyde started out at 4 am, to Ldo -a little trolling 'and to whet" his appetite for the breakfast which he proposed to catch. He paddled off op- posite his private camp alone in a cance. He had barely got his trolling dine out its length when the strike came, and' it was not many seconds before it was apparent that there was a big fish at the other end. A few minutes later the big fish went into the air fifty yards away, and for a full hour from Nr. Hyde simply held on. Time again the salmon left the water savage, determined leaps, but the tac- kle held fast and a taut line kept te here fish: moving. Then = the pace began to tell, and twenty minutes later the salmon was brought near enough to the canoe to give the angler heart palpitation. He was prepared to see a big fish, but not the monster that was fighting thirty feet away. Ten minutes more of battle and the task of landing began. ' At first Mr. Hyde thought of the landing net, but he soon saw this would be useless. Then the possibility of shooting the fish presented itself, but was discarded, and finally, as a last resort, Mr. Hyde tired the fish out by forced rushes and then made for the sloping, sandy shore, grasped the line, dropped the rod, dragged the fish into the shallow water of the beach and fell upon it bodily. Two hours had elapsed since the strike, and the final victory and the struggle, had also called for about all the strength the angler possessed. The! salmon was thirty-four inches long, and was seen by a number of visitors as it hung in state on the cabin door where, unfortunately, it was allowed to remain foo' long before steps were taken for its permanent preservation. Geese Raising. Geese are grazing birds. In fact they live and thrive on good pasturage and water, although, of course, be secured when some grain is fed; on the. other hand. It is probably mot possible to raise goslings on an ex- clusive wgrain diet, without a liberal supply of some '- succulent vegetable food. Young goslings' make the most rapid growth upon the short, nutriti- ous grass or brook grass and grain. In a 'wild state geese devour large quantities of roots of grasses and aquatic plants, which they dig from the Banks and borders of streams, and wash free from earth in shallow wat- er. Domestic. geese confine themselves to less water and aquatic plants, and generally feed upon pastures, prefer ring moist rich localities, where the grass is kept short and sweet by con- stant feeding and rapid growth. Tall, Woody grasses, which have become tough, are not relished by them. This natural habit of geese makes consid- erable" space necessary for their suc cessful keeping, or requires that they be provided - with sacculent green growth, yi -------------- Summer Excursion To New York.

Stones Used in Its Erection Con- tain 35 Per Cent. of Metal, Which Spanish Machinery Could Not Extract. From Mexico comes a strange tale of a city, the houses of which are built of and silver. A great wall, 100 feet high, encompasses the city, and 'this also is full of gold and silver. Without the wall are miles of mountains Which conceal almost in- calculable amounts of silver and of gold. The whole represents an amount of wealth undreamt of even by the multi-millionaires of the "Arabian Nights." The most remarkable part of the story, however, is that it comes from the authoritative pen of Percy F, Martin, F.R.G.S,, and, supported by substagtial scientific facts is sot forth the matter-of-fact: pages of the inancial News. It seems that Guanajuato, the gold and silver city in question, was built by the Spaniards when they conquer- ed Mexico. It is, indeed, the oldest city in that state. ut when tho Spaniards set to work to extract silver from the mines of La Luz, just without the city, the me- chanical appliances of the time only enabled them to extract sixty-five per cent. of the silver in the ore. The re maining thirty-five per cent. of silver and old which the ore also contain- ed was therefore cast contemptuously on one side. From the wastc material were built the city and the wall about it. From this waste ore, there sprang mountains of refuse that in reality contained fortunes: Now, these mountains of refuse, the walls of the city, and the houses of the city, may be demolished, that they may yield up to modern machinery the riches that they contain. Apart from the gold and silver hid- den in the walls of the houses, it is estimated that the refuse heaps com- prise alone a million tons of ore cach, every ton of which holds 85 worth of silver. From each of these mountain- like refuse hea it may be possible, therefore, to als $6,000,000, Whether the inhabitants of Guana- juato will suffer their houses in like manner to pass through the crushing mills, it is hard to say, for the poo- ple of the city cling passionately' to their picturesque, if dilapidated, dwellings. There still, indeed, remain in Guana- juato signs of the - colossal wealth which the Spaniards discovered in that too, place. The wall, for instance, with which they surrounded their mine must alone have cost $200,000 to build, Its earved stone gates are ar- ¥ tistic treasures. The unfortunate peons, who np plied the wealth ' for the Spaniards, worked under the halberd and the lash extracted from La Luz $1508, - 000,000 worth of silver during the time of the Spanish occupation. Most of this went to enrich the kige of Spain and to enable that monarch's nobles to build those substantial, if hideous, buildings which to-day, in one respect, make castles in Spain ex- tremely solid facts, The man who profited most from La Luz was Zambrano, who, though he spent the major portion of his time in the gay capitals of Europe, was well known in Mexico. He, it is said, left a modest fortune of $60,000,000 as a result of his peons' labors at La Luz. Refore being deserted, about the time of the revolution, jn Mexico, itis calculated that the mines of La Luz were producing for their proprietors about 86,080,000 a yedt. "There is every reason to believe," says Mr. Martin, "that they can and will do the same again." Don't Betray Confidences. How few people there are who know how to keep a confidence made to them, in the true sense of the word. They frequently forget the fundament al principle of the whole idea. which is this: Have no desire to tell it to another person. So much can be done to betray a confidence by a person dropping into hidts and innuendoes without once deliberately breaking his compact to the letter, but only in the spirit, says Home Notes. .
