king Of American fishes. Protected now in
all his haunts by wise laws, and strictly
guarded from human ignorance or avarice,
the trout breeds in the fall, injured by hy or
bait, passes the winterin dignifled repose, and
when spring fairly opens and the game

Zoo who holds the rod.
Brook trout must needs exist under abso-
iutely natural conditions in order to retain
their rare virtues when placed upon the Ia
bio. In many streams where they are pre-
EeBTed the fish are fed regularly on dashed
raw meat. As a consequence they grow in

He claimed that managers of theaters

doubtful character. hire men to sit in
various parts of the audience and
applaud vigorously tine objectionable parts
Otherwise such plays would have been
Kissed of the stage. He declared that
Christians n lend their encourage
ment or patronage To the thcater as il is
to-day. He quoted passages from Plato,
Tacitus, Paine, Rousseaua and j. NJ. Buck
ley, i'm which the heater was denounced
as immoral. He said that actors rs a rule

No woman. said the preacher, can be as
pure after listening To a play in which there
is immortality. Among the plays men
one as unfit were: "She Stoops 10 Con.

Money" In closing the speaker claimed
that e theater differs from the dance in
