THE Waukegan papers say : "There was a large turnout the 15th at the meeting to determine the time and place of holding the annual Lake county sol­ diers' reunion.

The committee re ported Antioch as the place, and Thurs­ day and Friday, August 27 and 28, the time." Why they persist in holding this reunion at thesanie time as the McHenry county Fair is a mystery in this neck of woods. THE following from an exchange may interest housewives: Salt puts out fire in a chimney. Salt in the oven under bak­ ing tins will prevent their scorching on the bottom. Salt and vinegar .will re­ move stains from discolored teacups Salt and soda are excellent .for bee stings and spider bites. Salt thrown on soot which has fallen on the carpet will re move the stain. Salt put on ink when freshly spilled on a carpet will help in removing the spot. Salt in whitewash makes it stick. Salt thrown on a coal fire when low will revive it. Salt used in sweeping carpets keeps out moths. M. W. A. Union Picnic. There will be a Union M. W. A. Picnic by I vanhoe Camp 1253, and Wauconda Camp 043, at Wauconda, 111., Thursday, Aug. 0th.

New Dutchess Troaeers for fall trade at S. Stoffel'e, TRY NEW LURES. All Fish Have to Feed,- What Do They - Eat? If there is anything a fisheniian likes to do it is to get a mess of fish where others have failed to get a bite, and nd stories are more frequently told than those of big" baskets filled at lakes or ponds known to be aliv.e with fish, but in which the fishwere never before known to bite. There are lots of ponds in which fish can be seen but-»ot taken. In some lakes fish may be taken in the spring .only, or in midsummer, giving rise to the belief that they do not feed at other times. In places where trolling spoons alone are used, very often big catches are made with flies of bass and pickerel, and in places where only natural bai ts- worms, frogs, minnows--are popular, artificial lures are often successful. It is related of a Jefferson county vil­ lage that no one ever used flies for bass fishing t ill a boy who knew about Adiron­ dack trout fishing came along with, a seven-ounce fly tod, with other tackle to match. • ... ' - "That toothpick catch a fish?" said the native fishermen." "Why, a half- pound bass would smash it all to pieces." A cotiple of thfm were curious to know how the thing, worked and vol­ unteered to row the boat. They got to a. big, dark pool under a cedar tree On a ledge of rocks, and a Grizzly lying.and lellbw Sallie dropped onto the water like natural flies. What followed was, convincing to the natives. A black bais' of over two pounds in weight, grabbed the Grizzly King and was hooked, lie put up a good fight, but at last rolled up on h'is side andw as dipped up with the landing net.. The natives didn't say very much, but- they did a whole lot of thinking. Light wood rods soon became popular in that region, and bigger messes of fish were the rule. BITS OF HISTORY. Curious Facts About Swearing; Vice Pres­ idents Into Ottlce. More than once in our history the vice president has been sworn and in­ ducted into office sooner than the presi­ dent, says the St. Louis Globe Democrat. This was the case of John Adams, who took the oath and became gjpes>ident °f tJie senate and vice president of the United States nearly a month before Washington's first inauguration; it was the case with Millard Fillmore, who, it is said, took the oath on Sunday, March 4, falling on that day of the week in 1S49, liile Taylor, the president-elect, being a rigid Sabbatarian, did not per­ mit, himself to be sworn until Monday. It is said that in 1877, when March 4 again fell on Sunday, Wheeler, tlie vice president-elect, took the. oath on that day, while Hayes, having religious scruples, put oft" th* matter until Mow- day. Of these cases, however, the most peculiar was thatof 17when, the gov­ ernment having just been put in opera­ tion, presented the curious spectacle of a vice president without a president. At the time, however, the matter, to have attracted little attention or re­ mark, and is now remembered only as a historical curio. THEY HAD KNOWING HENS. How a Proud and Sensitive Fo-wl Asserted Her Dijrnlty. He was being interviewed on the poultry business by a Wabash Times reporter when he said: "I don'twantto boast, but I do think we have got the knowingest liens in t he world in our end ef town. I have a flock of 200, all black. It is a theory of mine that black hens lay better than those of any other color. One day I found a hen in my flock with a few white feathers in her tail. I called the hired man and told him to catch and kill her. 'You can't rely oh the laying capabilities of a hen with white feath­ ers,' I said. The.hen gave me a sorrow­ ful look, but did not say a word. Next morning the hired man told me that he could not find her. A month or two later I opened a pile of jiotatoes I had stored in the cellar and found a big, hollow space in the center of them. There was a bunch of black feathers in the place with three white ones stand­ ing up in a defiant sort of way. Behind the feathers were CO eggs. I recognized at once that it was t he work of the miss­ ing hen. The proud, sensitive creature had stowed herself away^nd worn her­ self out laying eggs to prove that the theory was a mistaken one." SPORTSMEN ON BICYCLES. Kirk Greenwood's Squirrel Hunting A-wheel-- Guns for Wheelmen. Kirk Greenwood tells in Gameland how he went squirrel hunting last fall on a bicycle, with a 22-calibre rifle. lie carried the weaj>on on his wheel's tip­ per bar, over the handle bars, or carbine fashion on his back. He got gray and black squirrels on Long island, Staten island, and over in New Jersey. He also killed a few rabbits and game birds. The rifle was a repeater, but some per­ sons out for sport only would much rather have a target pistol with a barrel a foot long. Such a weapon is much easier to carry. It requires greater skill to use, however. A Toledo wheel company has origin­ ated a device for carrying a shotgun or rifle on a wheel, which weighs a little over two pounds. Guns for the especial use of wheelmen are being thought of--guns that shut up like jackknives. There are men get­ ting ready, it is said, to give fancy ex­ hibitions of shooting from bicycle sad­ dles. One firm has a novel plate for its wheel that shows a hunter in full cos­ tume, with a dog alongside, on the way to the bird grounds on a bicjrcle. Caithness Folklore. Caithness (Gaelic "Gollabh") Cat* teynes, the Land of the Stranger, and Suderland, the South Land, are steeped in strange superstitions, some traceable to Norse, others to Celtic influence. The lone, wind swept home of the clan of the Catts, with its miles of moorland and peat fields, "its. bold, rocky coast, this county, with Sutherland, and the groups of islands to the north ape in a peculiar sense the home of folklore, le­ gend, myth and peasant wisdom. To this day the older members of the fish­ ing community take off their bomiets as they row past the head of Whailagoe, and thus express, in their, simple way, the deep reverence which they feel for the "great rnither" on whose breast they are tossed. The lassies of Freswick dress their hair before sunrise on pain of causing their sweethearts., to be lashed with these silken tresses by tliq evil kelpies of the pool. The farmer of today lights the bonfire at midnight on New Year's eve and passes his ,key through the flames to; secure them from disease, while the herdboys jump oyer the flam­ ing peats for good luck. Changeling ehildfen are regarded with the same awe as of old, and witches, elfins and sprites can, it is said, be discerned around the Maiden Paps weaving the threads of. fate.--Scottish Review. A Ton,ill Niagara Hackman. Here is a somewhat new story of the Niagara falls hackmanr •' • Two tourists, a lady and a gentleman, stopped off at the falls between trains. A hackman engaged them for a brief tour of sightseeing. The time actually consumed was 55 minutes. The hack- man said he must have $10. The gentle­ man remarked that it was an outrage. The driver explained that he had been of great assistance in pointing out the places of interest and stood firm. The gentleman prepared to pay under pro­ test. Unfortunately for himself lie handed the man a $30 bill. "Do you pay for the lady also?" ask­ ed the hackman promptly. "Do I pay for the lady?" repeated the fare in astonishment. "Of course I do. What do you mean?" "Then there will bo no change," re­ plied the hackman. "My charge of $10 is for one person ; $20 for two persons. The amount you have handed mo is ex­ actly correct. Thank you, sir. "--Buf­ falo Express. Salt Makes Sngar Sweeter, Who would think of making sugar sweeter by the addition of salt? Such, however, is asserted to be the case by Professor Zuntz at a meeting of the Physiological society of Berlin. From his experiments he finds that if to a solution of sugar there be added a slight amount of salt and water so weak that it excites no saline taste, the result is extra sweetening of the sugared wa­ ter. The weakest of quinine solution is to produco a practically similar re­ sult. The explanation given of the above seeming incongruity is that the ever so feeble saltness or bitterness iinparts"air increased sensibility to the sensation of tasto by the simultaneous stimuli and hence an appreciation of additional sweetness. Wales and Workingmen, The Prince of Wales is remarkable for the tact of his bearing toward work- inginen. He invited Mr. Henry Broad- hurst to visit him at Sandringham. Mr. Broadhurst declined on the ground that he had no dress suit. Of course a dress suit could have been bought, but the fact of his possessing it would have in­ jured him with workingmen. The prineo renewed the invitation, and Mr. Broadhurst said ho would accept if he were allowed to have a bit of dinner in his own room. This was courteously conceded, and Mr. Broadhurst went. He was shown to his room by the prince. Noticing that the fire was not lighted, the prince took matches, went on his knees and kindled it himself.--London Correspondent. Business Locals.
