How to Acquire Practical knowledge
OF This Accomplishment.
1t is not necessary to wait, for sum-
mer nor for access to water, in order
to practice casting. A house-top, a
door-yard, or even the spacious floor
Of an old-fashioned barn, offers just as
good a chance for practice as lake or
river. Fly-casting is very simple
movement, and not q flourish. The
elbow is kept down at the side, the
forearm moving only Il little, and
most of the work is done by the wrist
Holding the rod BY the grip tho
part Of the butt wound with silk or rat
tan to assist the grasp, one finds that
the reel, which is just below tho
grip" aids in balancing the rod. The
reel is underneath in casting. After
hooking a fish. many anglers turn their
rods SO as to bring the reel to the up
per side, thus letting the strain Of the
line come upon the rod itself instead
of upon the rings. In holding the
grip" the thumb should be extended
straight along the rod, as this gives an
additional purchase. For the first
cast take the end of the line in tho
left hand. and bring the rod upward
and backward until the line is taut.
As you release the line. the spring Of
the rod carries the line. backward.
This is the back cast. Then comes an
instant's pause, while the line straight
ems itself out behind, and then with
a firm motion of the wrist, helped q
little by the forearm, the rod is thrown
forward, and the line flies out easily
in front Begin with a line once
or once. and-a-half as long as the rod,
and lengthcn it out by degrees. The
main points to be remembered arc: Te
keep the elbow at the side. to train the
wrist, to move the rod not too far for.
ward or back, always to wait until the
line is straight behind on the back cast,
and to make sure that in this the linz
falls no lower than your head. pro.
cess which it will take time to accom-.
plish. There is no more awkward faul,
than that of whipping rod down to i
level with the horizon. aI
When the learner becomes accIs
toned to handling his rod. he must cry
to perfect himself in two matters o.
great impOrtance-accuracy and deli
cacy. Place a small piece Of pape:
fifteen or twenty feet away. and aim al

efforts will be aided if you will raist
the point of the rod q trifle, just as the
forward impulse of the line is spent
and the line itself is Strengthened in the
air for an instant in front. This is :
novel kind of target-shooting. but it.

HOW MONEY GROWS.


What May he Done with Small Sum
when safely Invested.
Among lot Of old rubbish has been
found a warrant or, order upon the
United States treasury for the pay
ment to John Yesterday of Sl,745.90,
dated February Ia, 1893, "with interest
at six per cent" There is no doubt
about its genuiness, and none of the
authority of the drawer. who was at
that time Register. The Government
acknowledges the obligation. The
only question is as to the parties en-
titled to the payment. The small
amount of the warrant is increased by
more than ninety-three years interest,
and IS thereby swelled to the hand
some sum of 81, 4SS.02. If this inter
est we're compounded it would reach
nearly one million. Every ten years
at that rate the principal would have
doubled, SO that thu comparatively in.

This exhibits what may be done with a
small sum in ninety years of invest.
ment and reinvestment at the legal
rate of interest. In another ninety
years OF compromising the Sl,745. 90
would be nearly S45S, 100000. The
house of William Penn that stands in
the Park was built longer ago than
twice ninety years. and the money

treated, would now be thousand mill.
ions of dollars.
These facts. brought home to us by
the neglect of Yesterday in not draw
mr. his warrant on the morrow, teach
the moral of small savings and careful
investment. Commencing early in life,
putting away something every year,
and investing and reinvesting the in
come, will make almost any mar
rich who lives the ordinary spar
of existence. Five hundred dollars in
seventy years will compound into S64,

The Egyptians, though they may no

British shells knocked down the houses
of Alexandria and the inmates fled,
the cats found themselves homeless
and friendless, and they gathered to-
gether in pathetic assemblies upon the
debris Of the shattered walls. How
gaunt and dreadful they were! Chari-
table folks used to collect scraps for
them, but the suferings of the Great
6res must have been very great, and

men and women are employed. 1t is
said that people employed in candy
factories are not fond of candy--rarely
taste it after the first few days.
Stick candy is made by boiling down,
with water, letter A sugar. Cream Of
tartar is added to prevent crystalliza-
ton. When 1t has reached the proper
consistency it is kneaded like bread on

pums' and sugared almonds are made In u

the mixture is taken out into smaller kettles
to be favored and cOlOred. The cheap gum
drops and 'marsh-rnallOws are now made
chiefly from glucose"
Glucose is made from starch, and is
much cheaper than sugar. but is not
nearly so sweet. If you should eat II
piece of pure sugar candy. and then
candy made principally of glucose, you
would readily detect the difference.
Glucose enters largely into the manu-.
facture of marsh-mallows, and terra

candies having various devices and

while hot, into the little mods that

ious crowd that had gathered. His story
! was that as the lady sat writing midway
between q window and door, suddenly
man, with breath like gust OF the north
wind and seasoned apparently by distil
lery, burst through the window, extin
guished the light, seized both her arms and
rushed on through the hallway, out into
the darkness, out beyond sight. With true
female heroism she, being unarmed--though
the rude man Left both hers intact-did
what was best-hopped up and fled to
mans protection-in the state of mind and
body first above written. She was sadly
alarmed, and probably is trembling yet,
but otherwise safe and sound.
But the serious part of this true story
is that the fact that the most diligent
search failed to bring to light even the
shadow of a trace Of man, ghost or devil,
reminded each smooth-faced man who felt
that thelady's description of the rObber or
burglar would just fit them; that on ''such
q night" when the winds blew as then, and
the windows mourned, and the lamps flick
cred and went out, a similar thing had
happened to them in No. 80, and the fact
soon beca anne apparent that while one wind
gust was the true burglar that had 50 star
tied the interpreting lady, there was far
more wind without gusts in the stories that

air, he was elsewhere. In fact, a member
of the Y. NJ. C. A. swore he was down town

The moral is two fold: First, that ladies
should not sit alone between q window and
a door on stormy night in q strange
place, and the other that there is always
more blow than ghost-or robber-upOn
occasions like this however we'll convinced
the party may be OF the contrary. Room

section, but it was found that it was horri-
bly, crushed about the head, and there were
two wounds in the left breast. The police
were at once notified. Yesterday q post

was recognized as that of Emily Brown, a
woman 60 years old, who for the past six
months has been boarding with q colored

She was of dissolute habits and lived by
begging. She was at her home three hours
before her body was brought to the univer-

brutally murdered for the price her body
would bring for use on the dissecting table.
Perry, the janitor, who received the body,
