trout will take it in preference to the
| fly. unless the latter is handled by al
| expert, and Of the right color. It is the
rule to impale the minnoW on q hook,
and inside of few minutes the fish is
dead. The Chicago Fiotd gives the fol-
lowing directions regarding the batting
of the hook:
"Thinking many Of your readers
would like to know the best way to put
live bait on the hook, [, speaking from
experience, say take piece Of black
cotton thread about a foot long, tie the
| middle of it tight under the barb of the
hook; now take bait in the left hand,
lay the hook on it side, the barb up by
| the shoulder of the bait, with the shaft
along the belly; now pass the thread
over the shoulder and around under the
fish, and tie to the shaft OF the hook;
then pass the thread along the shaft
until under and back Of the back fin,
then tie tightly around the shaft Of the
hook, then pass the thread On each side
of the fish up TO the back just back of
the back fin, and tie with bow knot.
This fastens the bate securely without
hurting it, and you will have the live
Hest and best bait ever used. AS the
shaft Of the hook lies along The belly, it
keeps the bait in proper shape, and as
the fish usually takes live bait head
first, you are sure to hook your fish.
With Just a little patience at the first
trial, you will find that you can tie or
the bait very quickly, and then have
the best bait you ever used. | learned

A HEARTLESS WRETCH.-Tlle BCdie
Free Press gives the following account
of now two men, in frozen condition,
were refused admittance to a cabin in
the Tioga District: "Mention was made
in these columns a few days since that
two men who left Mill Greek fer Tioga
District had been caught in the recent
snow storm on the Summit of the Sierra
and badly frozen. Word now reaches
US that the men in question reached the
cabins Of the Great Sierra Mining Com
pany in Tioga in an exhausted and half
frozen condition, but were refused adj
mittance by the occupant, a Mr.. Schaur;
that they then went up on the side hill
and built a fire, which there and at this
season of the year is understood as
signal Of distress, and that to this
Schaur paid no aftention-the result of
which is that one of the men will in all
lose a foot. The Inen have
now been four days in the open air on
the summit, with frozen feet, and it is
asserted that the Mill Creek party Or
parties who sent them there have ut
terly neglected if not positively refused |
to send them any aid whatever. If the |
facts of the case should prove to be as
the man who refused the un-
fortunate men shelter and food under |
such circumstances, and the men who |
sent them on the mountain in the |
storm and then refused or neglected to
aid them in their crippled condition,
should be hunted out of the mountains
and booted to the very borders Of civil
,gatiOn.
