Ask anyone in the old hied what fish
he prefers, and ho is almost sure to
say "solo," Indeed, there is probably
nu Osh In British sorts to treat a Dover
sole, though a fresh pilchard and a
red mullet come not far behind. Of
fresh water British fish a sea -trout
is, of course, easily first from the point
of view of the "gourmet."
Down in the Gulf of Mexico the
great delicacy is the "pompano." Pom-

Another fish taken off the Florida

tail, turd is found in small shoals and
taken with a selue, It fairly melts in

In Northern American waters you
get seven or eight sorts of salmon,
and a dozen different trout, but those
who know say that the "ouinaniche,"
or small land -locked salmon, is not
only the gamest of them all, but also
the beat eating.
Drop down to the continent of South
America, and you find in the Amazon
the "curimata," a most dainty little
chap which is caught on hooks baited
with banana, surely as strange a bait
as ever was offered to a fish.
India is not famous for its fish, yet
has one which ranks as a great dainty.
This is the "snow trout" of the His
malayas. It is caught only in the
cold mountain streams.
As for Australia, the great fish both
for catching and eating is the "schnap-
pen." It is really a bream, and grows
to a very large size.

Don't Be Lazy. ,
A man may be a born genius, but if
he will not exert himself, lie can
achieve little,
• Laziness is fatal to success.
History contains few in.etancee
where sluggards have risen to the top.
All worthwhile results are achieved
by effort, usually by painstaking, per-
sistent, unsparing effort.
111e lazy person lets things slide.
And when things are left to slide they
slide downhill.
Laziness is a quality inherent in
human nature,
Ignorance usually is a consequence
of laziness.
And ignorance leads, not to success,
but to failure.
IMental laziness is more common
perhaps than physical laziness.
I It is not hard to go on doing things
which require no mental exertion and
little bodily effort,
But hard, earnest, sustained mental
Comfort is beyond the sluggard.
Laziness acts on one as a drug.
It tightens its grip upon one silent-
ly, stealthily, but, in course of time,
fatally.
It can always find excuses for itself.
Poverty is one of Ole commonest
fruits of laziness.
The path of laziness is the straight-
est of all paths to want and woe.
To combat it, cultivate a bealtby
body and a sound mind, and 0110e you
doggedly try you will be surprised
how much more fun there is In doing
things than in doing nothing.
Telegraphists' Tales.
A single telegraphist was working a
lonely station in the Sudan. Finding
the solitude getting on his nerves, he
tried to think of some scheme for
getting a shift. At last, in despera-
tion, he wired to headquarters, "Please
send relief at once, AAA. Station sur-
rounded by lions, wolves, and tigers."
Back came the unfeeling reply, "Re-
ference your report AAA. No wolves
in the Sudan." Nothing daunted, the
telegraphist answered, "Reference my
previous report AAA. Please cancel
wolves."'
Some telegraphists attain a much
greater speed in operating than others,
1 and sometimes fail to allow for the
slower working of thelr weaker breth-
ren, One such man, at a station in
the wild and woolly West of U,S.A.,
had a reputation for being a "flyer."
He had an exceptionally long message
of three thousand words to transmit
Ito a small station situated about thir-
ty miles away. The operator at the'
other station was a novlbe, and a bad
"reader" into the bargain.
The "flyer" just shoved his switch
across, and began to send at a terrific
speed, without giving any pauses to
see how the receiving operator was
progressing.
Just as he had reached the two
thc0s0nd nine hundred and ninety-
ninth word, a dishevelled figure drew
0p outside the station, flung himself
off itis sweating heirse, clashed into
the instrument -room, and presented
his revolver nt the telegraphist's head,
shouting:
"If you don't go back to the begin-
ning, you blighter, 111 blow your brains
out!"
It was the telegraphist from tho
other station!

The inefficiency of dry powder ex-
tinguishers was made the subject of
searching investigation by a special
committee appointed by the British
Hone Office in March, 1916. Their re-
port contained the following state-
ment: "The use of dry powder fire
extinguishers is to be deprecated a$
not only giving a misleading sense of
security but being practically useless
for extinguishing or controlling fires,"
Of an entirely different character
are the small nne-quart chemical ex-
tinguishers sold under different pro-
prietary names but all containing car-
bon tetrachloride as the extinguishing
fluid, These have the great advantage
of being easily handled by women and
children. When subjected to heat,
carbon tetrachloride generates a 1
