Inconvenience suffered at the Deaf and
Dumb Institution at Kendall Green.
The directors of the Columbia Institu.
tion for the Deaf and Dumb at Kendall
Green are experiencing some inconvcni-
ence from lack of water supply. A main
was laid by the institution on Third and
NJ streets some years ago, but the Com
missioners have reduced the supply Of
water at the college by allowing property.
owners on these streets to tap the main.
This was objected to by the directors,
but the Commissioners hold that they
have the right to allow reasonable
number of taps.
President Gallaudet has presented to
the Commissioners resolution adopted
by the directors, setting forth the diff
Guilty in securing a sufficient supply of
Potomac water for The necessary uses of
the institution, and requesting that they
order the removal of all taps and connec-
tions heretofore made on the pipe belong

Fashionable Coiored Woods

The beautiful colored woods, espe.
cially those representing walnut and
mahogany, now SO largely used for
cabinet work and architectural decora-
ton on the continent Of Europe. are
obtained, It is stated, by the following
simple processes: For TIE light wal
nut variety, the method pursued is to
dissolve two ounces permauganate OF
potash in six pints of water, and paint
the wood twice with the solution; after
the solution has been left On the wood
some five to ten minutes, the wood is
rinsed, dried, oiled, and finally pol.
ished, the light variety being thus pro-
duced. A beautiful light mahogany is
obtained by means of a solution con-
sisting of one ounce finely cut alkanet
root, two ounces powdered aloe, with
two ounces of powdered dragons blood,
digested with twenty-six ounces OF
strong spirits of wine in a corked bot
tie, and left in a moderately warm
place four days, othe solution being
then filtered off, and the clear filtrate
is ready for use; the wood to be treat
ed is first passed though nitric acid,
then dried, painted I'VE with the ALEC.
holic. extract, dried, oiled, and pol
ished. A dark or deeper colored val.
nut is obtained by dissolving three
ounces permanganate of potash in SIX
pints of water, and planting the wood
twice with this solution; after five
minutes the wood is washed anG
| grained with acetate of iron, then
dried, oiled and poIished.-N. Y. Sun,

~TROUT-FlSHiNG SECRETS.
An Ancient and Acute Angler fmparts
Some Important Information.

An Ancient and Acute Angler Emparts
Some Important Information.
Fly-fshing is supposed to be so diff
cult of mastery that many are deferred
from mourning the expense of an outfit
which is of no use in ordinary angling.
But let the veteran fisherman say his
own words:
There is a secret in fishing for trout
with the artificial fly, but it can be
learned in half an hour by a man who
has no %prejudices and keeps his eyes
open. I do not say all will succeed
equally well, but any MA who has
sgumption' and will take these ants
can't help catching fish, and he may
fish all day, if he goes about the bust
ness according to his own notions, and
not get a single rise for his trouble.
First of all get the highest rod you
can. II it is well balanced and has got
the spring it is good enough. Don't
bother with a lot of flies and use only
one on tie line at a time. Here are
four flies that will serve all purposes.
One is the red spinner; the second is
the black gnat; the third is the coach
man; the fourth and boss OF them all
is the red Palmer Or red hackle, as it
is indifferently termed.
Now for the secret. Take the red
hackle as the standard and you will
understand. II you throw it out and
just drag it along the top of the water,
as most people do, what do you sup
| pose a trout will take it for? Why,
| Just for what it is-a bunch of hair, no
more, no less. You drag il along and
the hairs close on the shank of the
hook; it is just a dead mass, not re-
sembling a fly, or a caterpillar, Or any
thing else. But suppose, instead of
this, you work your wrist very gently
up andssdown, so as to let the elastic
heirs of the hackle expand and close
with the stream, what then? Why,
| the thing looks alive, looks like a
drowning insect, and the trout goes
for it directly. 1t is the anne with
winged flies exactly. There is no use
having wings to a fly if you simply
drag Through the water in one direc-
ton.
Just one hint MORE" he said to the
reporter. IF a trout goes for your
fly, don't strike with your arm as il
you meant to knock a MATS head off
with a club Or slug a ball for three
bases. just turn your wrist sharply
and on the instant, for the trout blows
out the fly directly he finds what it is,
and it doesn't take him half a second
TO do it. Fish up stream, use one fly,
and that a red hackle. work your fly
in the water to make it look alive, and
you will fill a basket While your neigh.
bors are firing their hearts ans souls
out and catching nothing.
'Let me say, too, that you can't
throw a fly too lightly on the water.
To do this you must keep your body
still, throw with the arm, and the arm
only, letting the spring of the rod de-
the last part of the cast. In this way
the fly is made to fall frst-which i:
every thing. Watch a novice and you
will cease to wonder why he never
raises q sh."-San F~rancfsco Chron.
