Casting the Squid.

Standing upright in his boat the ex.
pert bass fisherman grasps his rod firmly
below the reel, which must be one that
runs with the least possible friction and
holds 800 or 400 feet of line, and whirls
it with the squid and several yards Of
line free. When the whirling sauid is
brought to certain velocity. which the
feeling and instinct of the angler must
judge to nicely. he thrusts the rod for
ward quickly with a graceful movement
that can only be understood on being
seen. The whirling squid instantly re-
spends to the movement. 1t shoots out
with amazing velocity as straight as a
bullets flight. The whizzing reel pays out
the unresisting line. and if the cast has
been made by an expert 15O feet of line
will have left the reel before the squid
drops into the water just at the spot it
was launched to reach. 1t will not be
long before some monster of bass will
show his appreciation of the skill with
which the .cast is made. by swooping
upon the attractive lure. and then will
come struggle that may last an hour,
and perhaps two, before one or the
other of the combatants conquers-the
longer the struggle the more favorable
its result to the angler.-N y Times.

something that's beyond compare;
But unto me the one most far
is or grey old orchard sweet
with bloom leaves scattered at my feet
Win robins Hitting through the trees,
and music from the humming bees.
1t was my childhoods playing ground,
And of it brightest memories come,
Ny brothers and my sisters dear
Played in it round our happy home:
", Mhen all our little tasks were done
The orchard echoed with our fun;
And robin gay. now gone to rest.
Tuned up his throat, with ruffied crest
But wondering hushed in mute surprise
while listening to the merry cries
vi children in Their gladsome mirth,
Ihe happieSt sound in all the earth
You can not die to me, old trees,
You re lIv ng in my memory yet
As bright as in the days of yore
When your spring blossoms, pink and fair
Made fragrant all the balmv air:
Or when your summers leafy shade
A cool retreat for children made;
or autumns sunripe fruit SO sweet
was gathered from around our feet
And by our father stored away
10 cneer us on some wintry day
U, days have soon dropped into years,
The years into a life time grow.
And heads that then were dark or fair
viii soon he sprinkled DER with snow;
But years may come or years may 20,
Bring wealth or want, joy or woe;
Fame, with her mocking laugh, may come
And settle round my humble home,
But only death from me can take
The picture which those old trees make.

AUGUST COASTING.
A Novel Summer Amusement-How tho
Sport Is Conducted.

| Novel Summer Amusement-How the
| Sport is Conducted.
1t was ON the afternoon of the very
warmest day in August that the children
came running to me crying:
There are some boys and girls frou
the village out on the hill. and some
from the hotel on the mountain. and
they all have brought their sleds."
1t seemed such puzzle to me that
rose and went out to see what was go
ing on.
When reached the spacious balcony
was almost convinced that the whole
valley had been bewitched.
There were gathered at least twenty
children and half a dozen sIeds. The
boys were dragging the sleds up the
steep slope of the hill side that rose
from the road in front of the house,
while the girls followed after as we'll as
they could.
1t was not by any means an easy feat
to climb this slope.
Though at q casual glance it seemed
as soft and velvety as q well-kept lawn.
it was to the unwary a delusion and q
snare. The midsummer sun shines
down upon the Adirondack mountains
with as much ardor as on the city
streets. Though the nights are cool,
frequently even cold. there are no dews,
and usually but little rain. So the
short thick grass that grows abundantly
upon the sides of the lesser mountains,
or. more properly speaking. the foot
hills, becomes somewhat parched and
smooth. and as slippery as ice. The
children. then, had before them quit
an amount of hard walking, but those
children were Ike mountain goats,
hardy, willing, and able to climb any,
thing.
/ watched them with interest. At
last the top was reached. Then, the
sleds were turned ups de down. and the
runners were rubbed vigorously with
candles; this completed. the sleds were
put in proper position again. three chill
dren seated themselves upon each, and
a gentle push started them down the
slope.
How swiftly they came! The slope
was steep but smooth; not rock, stump
or stone on its surface; there was no
danger. and the sleds stopped on the
sandy road.
For two long hours this colony OF
children coasted-till the grass was
worn almost to the roots. and the sup
ply of tallow (Which is indispensable for
this midsummer coasting) was ex-
hausted.
After all the little ones were weary,
we older people joined in the fun.
own to having made the descent but
once-that was quite enough for me.
I never before had heard of this novel
amusement; but. startling as it seemed
at first. the novelty soon wore away,
and became quite accustomed to the
sight and sounds of coasting in mid

California Orchards.

Ten years ago. according to the San
Francisco Bulletin. if any one had pre-.
dicted that hill land in California. well
up the mountain sides and covered with
chapparal. would be covered with vine
yards and orchards, most people would
have put no faith in such anticipations.
But to-day one sees the vineyards and
orchards creeping up the mountain
sides from LOCO to $500 feet high. aud
some at even greater attitudes. Dwell
ing houses are perched upon elevations
where few years ago no one would
have taken the land as gift under an
agreement to cultivate it. These new
vineyards and orchards are the last to
be overtaken BY any of the pests found
at lower elevations
