A Mouse for Trout Bait.

One of the most successful anglers in
Biddeford gives it as his opinion that
trout, particularly the big fellows who
have lived in certain holes and fought shy
of hooks for years, are fastidious as to
what bait they swallow. He says he has
fished brook with angle worms for bait
for hours and caught nothing, and then
shifted to grasshoppers or flies and made
good catches. As an illustration of a
change of bait, he gives the following ex-
perience: He says that few summers ago
he made some big catches out of certain
brook, which was not, however, in York
county. One day, he says, he dropped his
line into hole and saw monster trout
playing lazily about near the bottom. He
worked and coaxed for bite, but though
he trailed his bait under the very nose OF
the big fellow, he took no notice of it.
He spent the rest of the day with such
patience as Is only possessed by true trout
crank, and ut night the trout was still in
his native clement, Next day he went
back and the trout was still in the hole
He angled all the forenoon with worms,
came back in the afternoon and tried
grubs, grasshoppers, flies and spiders, and
still the trout was indifferent and content
ed. The third day he went into u barn
and found nest of young mice, and with
one of these he repaired to the brook and
found the big trout still there. He put the
vermin on his hook, dropped it into the
hole, and the infant mouse, "alive and
kicking" had hardly struck the water
when the big fellow darted for him and in
a moment more was landed. He could ig-
more the usual kinds of bait, but he had a
weakness for young mice, and the angler
happened to hit this weakness Biddeford

The work which has been done in con-

is, of course, of great interest to the pure
scientist, but sooner or later it will be dis
covered to be of immense practical value.
The reports which have been published in
connection with it form a library of forty
seven quarto volumes. with nearly 2S000
pages of letterpress, more than $500 litho-
graphic and acknowledgement plates,
400 maps, charts and diagrams, together
with great many woodcuts. The prepa
ration and publication of the reports have
cost no less than $4,000, and the amount
