translated into meaning: ''I was

SUMMER OUTINGS.

Trout,
"And now begin the glorious camping
days of Sultry suns and long, restful
loa1s tor those blessed with a little respite
from the city's strife. This is no month
for sport OF any kind save with tackle.
and even the fishing is not what it was
two weeks ago. July (Saye upon north
ern waters) and yellow August are not
prolific OF the best 1ly-fshing as a rule,
but trolls and bats yield fair returns
upon the larger waters, and there is fun
to be enjoyed. He is happiest who de-
pends rather upon the restfuI change of
camp-life under the whispering pines for
his reward than upon the number of fish
he may kill. He should be up and doing
at gray dawn, and have his boat or canoe
at the best point he knows of on the lake
before the first sun-ray over the eastern
hills slants across the water.
If the lake be but bass water, with a
few 1unge' as possibilities, well and
good. but If one or more trout-streams
flow into it, so much the better On every
feeder of lakes of any size are places
where the springs join the main water
perhaps flowing in from either side, or
possibly bubbling up from the bottom
Where these springs colder waters
miHgle with the sun-warmed current of
the stream are the places to find the
largest trout. The FISH detest warm water
ana LOO lnucn sunshine, ana during July
and August they cOngregate about the
places where the cold springs flow, or
where the pools are deepest and coolest
and the shadows darkest. At such points
capital sport may often be enjoyed and
heavy fish killed, when only few mere
tingerlings can be taken from sun-lxissed
reaches. Early morning and late even
ing are the surest times. for the fish, espe-
cially the larger ones, are then sure to be
'on the feed and they may be seen rising
merrily in pools that have not been
broken by single ripple all day long
while the sun was strong" - I'd w.

Ate Up Little Pussy.

Alta recent meeting in one Of the priuclpal
hotels 10 this city Of officers who served in the
civil war. says the Philadelphia Press. after
those In the army had told OF hatr- breadth es-
capes from the willy and blood.thlrsty Indians
of the wild and woody west the funniest one In
the entire list was the experience of an admiral
whose flagship lay, some years ago off the har-
Dor Of San Francisco.
The gentleman who told the story served
under the old sea dog at the tims, and enjoyed
a good laugh while relating it.
Admiral had at the head of his culinary
department a French steward, celebrated for
the many different kinds of dishes he served
For some reason the old admiral had taken
dislike Co the cook, Andswas by no means averse
to showing his spite whenever opportunity Of
Tered. Everything went along smoothly, how
ever, until one day when the British consul and
other distinguished personageS were present at
dinner given on board by the admiral.
The Frenchman, who had all along borne
quietly the insults and abuse decided at this
meal to get even with the admiral Before pre-
pairing dinner he had gone ashore and hired a
boatman to come alongside the ship and re-
main close to the gangway ladder. In the
course of the feast, when a dish lie had spe-
cialy prepared for the occasion had been
eaten, he poked his head through the door way
and asked the superior offices how he had rel
ished that dish
The admiral, who, as well as his guests was
much pleased, replied that it was the finest
specimen of the culinary art ever set on his
table and wanted TO know what 1t was
20" replied the cook. lit was only your
me-ouw, meouw. you old toolr'
He had prepared the admiral's pet pussy in
artistic style. The cook made for the gangwey
and was rowed of to the city. He never came
back and thereafter the admiral was never
known to find fault with his cook.
