REDDISH BROWN HAIR.

To BE the Style for Ladies This Fall-Com-
fort for Bald Headed Men.
Reddish brown hair will be worn this

hair-dressing establishment whose opinions
are regarded as DEGREES.
Glossy, well-groomed braids of a rich
reddish brown color will be coiled round
the shapely heads of Baltimore women who
wish to be in fashion, says the Gun of that
city. Bleached hair is entirely out of favor,
and with 1t Will all the dry, chippy, ~straggly
effects that have been popular SO long. <
sort OF yarnlsh has been prepared which
will bring the color of the blonde locks back
to tho desired color. The liquid is put on
with a small brush, drawn across d few
strands at a time, from the roots to the
ends. Tho day after the varnish is put on
the hair is washed, and the color ia then
permanent or at least for 80 long as Dame
Fashion DEGREES that reddish brown ia To
be the ~favorite color.
The hair itself is to be the most beautiful
thing in this seasons styles. Smooth az
satin it must be, and as glossy, showing in
it's sickness the careful grooming it has
received. The chatelaine braid is one of the
most attractive styles for this fall, and is
likely to be most popular, M it shows tho
beauty OF the hair and admits of the use of
many fancy pins. To arrange the chate-
iaine braid the hair is drawn TO the back of
the head, either smoothly or slightly waved,
as best suits the face beneath. Four plaits
are made, which are coiled around the back

PoPE LEO has recently written "a very
sensible letter on duelling. Among
other things ne says: Both divine and
human laws forbid that nan shall be
wounded or killed except where the in
terests of all are concerned, or where it
Is necessary for self-defense; but those
who challenge others to combat for their
personal concern, or accept such chal-
lenge, and are not constrained thereto
by any necessity, these use their gifts
OF mind and body for no other purpose
than to kill or wound their opponents.
A man of character should despise the
deceptive judgments of the crowd. 1t
is a holy and just feeling which prevents
a man from committing murder; and he
who bears insult and calumny rather
than neglect duty certainly shows a
more exalted mind than he who, upon
the slightest ~offense, snatches up arms.
In our opinion he shows true bravery,
that kind Of bravery which it is right to
call virtue"
The pope's views are those of every
right-minded man.

BLUEFISHING.
Trolling From II Sailboat With a Squid of
Wood.

Trolling From u Sailboat With a Squid of
Wood.
One of the best known and most exhilar-
ating methods of taking the bluetsh is by
trolling from a sailboat with a squid of
wood, bone of metal, usually accompanied
by a piece of white rag or eel skin by way
of additional deooy. At Woods Holl a
strong cotton line about 100 yards long, to
which are attached on wire two large-sized
sea bass hooks baited with a live eel, was
caprice of the fish seemed to call for
menhaden or some other bait. In
fastening the eel one hook was passed
through the lips and the other pierced the
rail. The same outfit was used from a
boat at anchor near rapid currents which
tloated the line at or near the surface, md
also for heaving out into the surf and pull
ing in the line rapidly. A very popular
style OF fishing, now extensively followed.
is known as Cumming. For this purpose
many anglers use al eigh6een-thregd CUT
tyhunk line, 200 yards long on a large reel
and provided with a strong hook attached
to about one foot of piano wire.
Two things are to be especially guarded
against in handling a big fish-his mad
rushes when first hooked and his propensity
to run up faster than the reel will take in
the slack line. A powerful fish with the
tide in his favor will makes stubborn fight
and a doubtful issue unless great skill is
exercised by the angler. In cumming a
~favorite bait is a piece from the back of a
menhaden containing the dorsal fin, the
rest of the fish being ground or chopped up
and thrown overheard to attract the fish.
An artificial minnow is often used
from a stationary boat instead of
the squid or other surface lure,
and the young are caught in shallow water
near the shores with shrimp or pieces of
fish. One of the most successful all-around
anglers of my acquaintance, Mr.. Willard
Nye, Jr., who is known to many of the
readers of Forest and Stream, gives the
following timely hint from his " ex-
p~erience in trolling: 1.-The value of know
ing that bluefsh are feeding on the smaller
fish does not seem to be fully understood
by the fishermen. for with few exceptions
they stick to the eelskin drail or squid,
whereas if they would use an imitation
fish, not over five inches long, made
of block tin, at least three fish would
be hooked to one with the eelskin drail.
To meet with the greatest success the tin
squid should have indentations cut or
pressed to represent the head, scales and
eyes: it should be rubbed bright with the
back of a knife, and nave a piece of eel.
skin one and one-half to two inches long
hooked through the middle to make a suit
ablet tail for the minnow. When trolling
let the boat sail very slowly. so that the
drail may sink into tine school for bait, as
most fish prefer to take their bait under
water rather than come to the surface to
strike it and get their mouths full of air."
