Pears’ Soap To keep the skin clean is to wash the excretions from it off; the skin takes care of itself inside, if not blocked outside, To wash it often and clean, without doing any sort of violence to it, requires a most gentle soap, a soap with no free, alkali in it. Pears’ is supposed to be the only soap in the world that has no alkali in it All sorts of stores sell it especially druggists; all sorts of people use it

Klfly three t ithes on one line. One of the most remarkable fl»h stories ever told was related yesterday to an ••Express” reporter, by Mr. Cleveson U. Steveland, a prosperous farmer, who lives near Coeyman* Junction. Mi Steveland was in town on business, and thinking that the remarkableexperieui he had bad should be added to U piscatorial literature of the day sought out the newspaper man, and related to him. Aa Mr. Steveland ia a leetoMler, pillar of his church, a Sunday acbool superintendent, and a man whose oath is aa good aa bla word, there ta son to doubt the troth of what be says if one does hot wish to doubt It. It appears that one day last week, Mr. Steveland was angling In Thompson'i ■n the Heldetlierghi. He war r baas, but was willing to pull In anything else that might bite, b<

aays.

He bad been dropping bla lir e in different sputa for many Lour*, without havlug got even a bite. At laat lie went i point that projected ■ it Into the water, aril from there line far out iolo the lake. He had been there hut a few minutea, when be felt a strong tag at the Hue. responsive tug, aud from 'tlie commotion iu the water at the end of the line, he knew that be had booked bis prize. He tried to raise hi* pole, ift bis catch from the water, but quickly found that this wag imjioeeible. Whatever he had caught was loo heavy to be lauded that way. Then be laid down the pule and began to hand In the line hand over hand. Slowly he -ncceedcd In getting hla prize near the there, and at the laat be was able to draw It clore enough too see what he had caught. When he did see, he waa o surpriaid that be nearly fell luto the

rater.

He had caught, not one fish, bat a tring uf them. Tl at it, it was not a string in the ordinarly sense of that a “.inearstring,''mtoapeak, Kadi fish of the string, except the one that bad been booked, firmly held the tail of the Hah just in front.of it lietween its teeth. Mr. Steveland carefully hauled In the siring until he came to the end. Wbcu h» bad It—them—all in be counted Lla catch, and found that there wcie exactly fifty three Hahes. The one that had taken the bait was a black l>isa that weighed just four pounds three cunees and a half; the ■ ext out wa* a tmall.-r baas, and gfti-r that one came filly-one other Aatis, uf many d ffarenl kind*, arranged according to their size, the smallest of all hr ini, ing up III.-re,r. M . St, v,land sought the < xplaralion • f Ida pit, u imenal catch. He quickly found It. All the fishes but tlx- first one w« re blind. The big baa* bad been leading hla .fllictcd lellows about in the water, and wlxu he took the bait Uu-y had held on to him w Ith literally Wind coirfidtnce, and thus be had ted them to their doom. Mr. Steveland took his catch hi me and weighed it. It tipped the scales at exactly twenty seven pounds and nine and three quarter ounce*. Mr.Stevt land Ix lieve* that bis catch stands alone in piscatorial annals. —Albany Krprtu. “
