Paten. Rubber New Fish. Bait.

Those small boys who are iu the
habit Of converting their mouths into
bait boxes. when they go fishing, will
be gratifed to learn that, through the
genius Of q recent inventor, they may
continue to use that convenient recep-
tscle for new bait which is free from
the disadvantages peculiar to the angle
worm. ANY boy who has meditated
over the shortcomings of that shiny
invertebrate knows that it squirms dis
agreeably, especially when accidentally
bitten, that it has an aifiaity for dirt,
which is annoying when swallowed;
that, even when on the hooS, it has
way Of dissoiving off in the most unac-
countable and exasperating manner;
and that it perversely permits itself to
be carried off piecsmeal by suckers and
minnows, in total disregard of its legit-
innate purpose. There can be no doubt
that the day of the angle worm has
passed, and that against the improved
flexible rubber worm of Mr.. w. II.
Gregg (pstented January 2, 1870 he
can no longer hope to compete. Serv-
ing as bait, and at the same time as
chewing gum. it must be evident to the
least Thoughtful that the rubber worm
has an incontestable advantage. =

the line of progress laid down by recent

naturalness lie at the bottom of all

and l think that with these held coura-

De Snakes Catch Fish Z

A. w. Chase, of the United States
Coast Survey, describes, in note to
the editor Of the Popular Science
Monthiy, Z contest which he and a
brother-ofiicer witnessed in 1867 on the
Purissima. small trout stream about
"a miles south of San Frsnciseo:
We had been fishing on the stream,
and came to high bank which over
looked a transparent pool of water
about ten feet in diameter and four feet
in depth. This pool was fringed with
willows, and had on one side 3 small
gravel bank. The trout at first sight
was lying in mid-water, heading up
stream. 1t was, us afterward ascer-
tanned, fully nine inches in lengfh-a
very desirable prize for an angler.
While studying how to cast our flies
to secure him, q novel fisherman ap-
peared, and so quick were his actions
that we suspended our own to witness
them. This new enemy Of the trout
was large water-soake Of the COM
mon variety, striped black and yellow.
he swan up the pool on the surface
until over the trout, when he made q
dive, and by a dexterous movement
seized the trout in such fashion that
the jaws of the snake closed its mouth.
The fight then commenced. The trout
had the use of its tail and fins, and
could drag the snake from the surface;
when near the bottom, however, the
snake made use Of its tail by winding it
around every stone or root that it could
reach. After securing this tail hold it
could drag the trout toward the bank,
but, on letting go, the trout would nave
q new advantage. This battle was con-
tinued for full 20 minutes, wher the
snake managed to get its tail cut Of the
water and clasped around the root Of
one of the willows mentioned as over
the pool. The battle was then
up, for the snake gradually put coil at
ter coil around the root, with each one
dragging the fish toward the land.
When half its body was coiled it I'M
loosened its first hold and stretched the
end OF its tail out in every direction,
and, finding another root, made fast,
and now, using both, dragged the
trout out on the gravel bank 1t now
had it under control, and, uncoiling, the
snake dragged the fish fully ten feet up
on the bank, and suppose would have
gorged him. We killed the snake and
replaced the trout in the water, as we
thought that he deserved liberty He
was apparently unhurt, and ia few
moments darted off. That the water
snake of our California brooks will
prey upon the young of the trout, and
also smaller and less active fishes, I
have noticed. but never have seen an
attack on fish so large or one more
hotly contested.

A Singular Dream.

About year or more ago he lost his
wife by death, and was therefore left a
widOwer. Time wore on, and grief at
the loss wore off; but one night his for
mer wife appeared to him in the form
of an angel. The once beloved intro
duced to the solitary man a woman
whom she whispered to be his second
wife. The face and form we're strange,
but the tone and features were much
impressed on the mind of the man.
Several weeks passed on, but he failed
to find wOman's face corresponding
with the likeness he carried in his heart,
until one day fair face passed him on
the street. The mystery was solved,
the dream had come true; but the wom-
an was stranger! Time, however,
worked out such matters, and few
weeks after the twain met at party,
became acquainted, and the sequel was
that the dream was fully realized. The
couple are now living together in hap
piness. The N. j. Messenger Sweden
bOrgian), in speaking Of premonitions,
says: They are caused by spirits who
are always present with man, and are
constantly exerting an influence upon
him. This influence is generally map
preciable. It does not take away mans
freedom. 1t is not casual and special
instance of Providential care, as the
Bible abundantly testifies. If we were
more susceptible to their influence, they
would keep us from natural and moral
danger much more frequently than
they do now. The aversions and at
fractions, and the unaccountable mis-
givings or confidence which We some
times experience are due to their infiu-
ence. We are subject to both good and
evil influences from this source; and
we come more fully under the good or
evil according to our character. As
we shun evil and live according to the
commandments, we come more fully
under the power Of the angels, who can
protect us from dangers and lead US to
good. Some persons are more easily
impressed by their influence than others,
and there may be times when we come
more fully under their power than at
others. But the angels and good spir-
its always do the best they can for ms.
We are always in their presence, and
as men advance in spiritual life, they
will be lead more entirely by the Lord
by means of lis word and the messen-
gers He sends to US. "-OudUa fCdn.
