hibited from sending them 10 the industrial

When to strike in Fly-Fishing.

Much of the .tiaae8sc of sportsn,anship
cannot be taught the novice by written in
structions. There are certain indispensable
points In the successful practice of the art
Of fiy-fishing which must come to the ex-
pert only after experience and discipline.
We may talk of the twist of the wrist"
but to make that twist 80 neatly and ef-
fectiye that each repetition of 1t means a
'1sh 3h0oked is something which must be
learned quite independent Of the books.
y Ehegc, for instance, is, the subject of strik-
Ing In sby fishing for trout or grayling.
Veteran anglers who have fislied In many
Of helbest trout streams Of the land and
who have deity struck tie grayling in
Michigan and the salmon In the Canadian
streams, hold and maintain very different
theories on this point. One will tell you
that he strikes as soon as he sees the fish
move and before he feels the touch. An
other claims that the only proper method
is to wait until you feel the touch Of the
fish, and then, by a movement as quick as
lightning, fasten HIM. Our own practice
is to strike at eight |; we admit that thereby
fish may be missed and scared away, which
perhaps would be captured IL given d little
more time but the number 30 lost are, we
believe, less than the scores Of misses made
by the contrary practice AS d rule, the
fisherman cannot strike too quick. We
should be happy to have the experience OF

About Champagne.

- We Americans drink so much champagne
1T is said that they consume nearly half
or the whole vintage, not to speak of tho
many Imitation which go by the name
that 1t may almost be called the national
drink, at least Of the wcll-to do classes.
AS not few of us may never have tasted
the genuine wine, 1t may be of interest to
know something about it Historically. Ks
early as the end of the fifth century st.
Remi, rcputed to be the first Christian king
OF France, owned large vineyards at Rheims
and Laon. Toward the middle of the ninth
century Bishop Pardulus, of Laon, Is men,
toned as advising Archbishop Hinemar to
take the wine of Epcrnay for digestion.
Mobiles and princes quaffed the juice of the
grape raised IN the Province of Champagne
for generations, but it was moro like Bur
gundy, having no sparkle, than the cham
pagnc OF TO day. Indeed, this wine proper
was not created until the latter part of tho
seventeenth century. Dom Perignon was
the first person who Is idcntiicd--it was in
l680-with champagne of our kind. He
was jolly monk, and the abbey over which
he presided depended for revenue upon the
tithes awarded by the vine.growers of the
district. He made the earliest experiments
and finally discovered the effer vescing liq-
uid, which he relished greatly. Marquis
ds Sillcri improved upon the monks achieve
ments, and introduced the delicious wine at
many feasts, where 1t was poured out by
handsome young women attircd as baccha-
nails. AT Rheim, near where Dom Perignon
was inspired to make the delicious drink,
Is the largest champagne establishment in
France. In one vast sub cellar are dcpos-
tied 100000 bottles Of the raw wine, and
in an other part of the town are some g.
600, 900 bottles. The wine Is treated most
delicately, and thousands of men, women
and children, very carefully trained, arc
employed In the process, to complete which
requires three years. The French and
English think that champagne grows better,
with age, even thought It may lose its sparkle
and brilliancy; but we Americans have
another opinion-that the fresher 1t Is, the
moro delicious. The cellars in which the
Wine Is stored are cut out Of the calcarous
rock. Any quantity Of spurious wine is
sold In France by charging other light wines
with carbonic acid gas, and the Germans
