BAIT For FISH.
Some Anomalies in Lures That Can BE
Used by the Angler.

Some Anomalies in Lures That Can BE
Used by the Angler.
Trout are generally accredited with
being fish of most faStidious diet,
scorning any sort of food save such
delicate morsels as may happen to
tickle their palates for the time; in
common belief. they are epicures of
the very first water. 1t is no doubt
true that the richer and more plentiful
the food supply, the less ready are
trout to feed on any lure -artiticially
presented; and the closer we initiate
their natural food at the time the
greater is our success in attempting to
make the trout take. At the same
time there can be no question that the
trout is as omniverous as most fish, if
not more so. and will eat almost any
thing. 1t cannot with truth be pre-
dicted of bread. for example, that it is
either a natural or a common food of
the trout, yet. by perseveringly throw
ing pellets into the stream, trout may
be socn educated into taking them;
and, as a matter of fact, the fish
in any particular stream can soon
be educated to such pitch of
rivalry that there will be rnsh for
piece of broad east upon the water.
In a stream where the fish have been
accustomed to be so fed. it might, at
first sight appear that they could be
taken by means of the staff of life as a
lure: vet, though trout may DE taken for
a time by means of such bait they
eventually learn to discriminate
between dangerous and an in
nocuouS crust or crumb. There
are many pools in which the fish
at no period can be persuaded to take
it as a lure, however readily they may
rush towards it in an innocent state.
Once they have tasted the bread, how
ever, trout develop great partiality
for it. Why salmon, again, should
take boiled and prepared pawns must
ever remain more or less of a mystery.
These assuredly are the most unnatural
of foods for them, yet, in certain states
of the water, salmon. though rarely if
ever sea-trout, succum5 to it when
they refuse any other kind of bait, and
that. too, in no half-hearted fashion,
but with an avidity that is often mar
velous. 1t is the same with salmon
roe. so far as trout, sea-trout, and bull
trout are concerned. The smell, prob
ably. has something to do with this
forbidden fruit; and in some such way
the oil of heron's breast If sprinkled
over worms is said to make them espec-
tally attractive. whatever is good

LIKE A RAY OF SUNSHINE.
The World Loves n Woman Who Is Cheer.
full and LiCht-Hearted.


full and Light-Hearted.
A woman may be as beautiful as
Helen of Troy and as alluring as the
serpent OF the Nile, yet if she be not
cheerful she is altogether incapable of
winning and keeping affection after it
is won. This old world is on the look
out for all that is bright and gay. There
is so much of sorrow lurking in every
corner that we want to turn our backs
upon it whenever we can: therefore,
woman to be appreciated in home and
shine rather than n cloud, no matter
how beautiful that cloud may be.
We women are so apt to be depressed
by rainy DAYS and other outside inttu-
ences that really should not have the
power to dampen the tone of our spir-
its. Suppose the weather is gloomy
and we get up feeling certain that we
are in for a very severe case of the
blues. Now if we have mind we can
fight off those cerulean horrors and
make ourselves and everyone about us
feel better and brighter, instead of
gloomy and depressed.
Many woman has been heard to say:
Il have the blues dreadfully to-day,
and vet l don't know what for, I'm
sure" Now, in cases, such as these, it
is positive sin to let gloom settle down
over our spirits which little energy
will dispel. There are many real causes
for down-heartedness: ill health. the
loss of friends and the numerous trials
that come into every life, and which
are heart sorrows that are not talked of
openly. Yet even these can be lived
down. and we can cultivate a seeming
cheerfulness that after time loses its
artificiality and brings with it tend
ency to look on the bright rather than
the dark side of life. The optomist is
popular: therefore, encourage a spirit
of cheerfulness. for with it all ills grow
less and every burden becomes easier to
bear-Chicago Tribune.

Language of the Visiting Card.

The custom of turning down the
corners of the cards to signify different
messages is not very general one, az
1t is considered better form to have
ones pasteboard representative as
fresh in appearance as possible. How
ever, the fashion does obtain to a small
extent and its language is as follows:
Turning the upper right hand corner
signifies that the single card is to in
clude all the ladies of the household,
and turning the upper LETT hand corner,
that the call was made personally.
This latter is the more senseless GUS
tom. as, except in Washington, where
the visiting duties are SO very onerous,
it is very unusual in this country for
ladies to call by proxy, or 20 send their
cards to door by their maid or foot
man-I.adies' Home Journal

THE STEAM ENGINE.
Improvements in Construction and POSI-
bilities of Power
get

The improvements which have
marked the development of the steam
engine have been the result of their
application to their promotion of more
mechanical genius, higher skill, more
careful and scientific research, more
brain power generally than probably
have ever been given in the history of
the world to any other directly useful
purpose. The steam engine stands to-
day as a nobler monument, a higher
tribute to the genius of man than any
other product of his many and mighty
powers that the world has yet seen
1t is the source and the foundation Of
all his material and wealth and largely
OF his intellectual and moral wealth.
1t is the prime mover in every applica-
ton of his inventive and instructive
genius to the solution of the problems
of modern civilization. 1t drives the
machinery of mine, mill and workshop;
it transports him and his possessions
across the continents and over the seas;
it gives life to the whole system of
transmission of all energies, including
those of the electric light and the cleo
trio railway. 1t makes all that he has
and is a possibility, and stands, the
mist giant, genius of more than Alad-
din-like power, the maker and the
guardian of modern life.
Light, heat and electricity, all the
powers of nature, are but its servants
and do its work and run its errands at
arms length or miles away, in the ex-
tension of its powers to near and dis
tant fields of labor alike.
In performing the work of modern
civilization man has compelled the SER
vice of over fifty million horse power
of steam giants, equivalent to more
than seventy-fve million horses of av-
erage power, for the rated horse power
of the steam engine is to that extent in
excess of the power of the animal
This is the equivalent of the steady
working power of the whole pOpula-
ton of the globe, and probably largely
in excess of that amount.-Toledd

WASTED POliTENESS.
Story of a Prince. a Long-Tailed Goa
and n Chicago MatrOn.

Story of a Prince, Long-Tailed Coat
and Chicago Matron.
Here is story about Prince Engal-
itcheff, the handsome Russian who, be-
ing at all hours of the day one of the
best groomed young men in all Chica-
go, is always a welcome guest at the
big palaces along the avenue.
In the matter of dress the prince is
sort of fashion plate that the young
men of the town delight to copy, and
it is in connection with his very faith
full following of the sartorial fashions
that this rather amusing story is told:
Attired in one of the very long frock
coats, coming down almost to ones
ankle and that now constitute the
proper caper" for young men of fashion
in the afternoon, the prince called the
other day at a very swell Michigan
avenue mansion, the chief ornament Of
which is a young lady who, while she
more than once has been reported en-
gagged to be married within the last
year, still lends hope to her host of
adorers by refraining from an actual
dip into the matrimonial sea.
The prince entered and was warmly
welcomed by the young lady and her
mamma. The latter, after a minute or
two. asked cordially: My dear prince,
won't you take off your coat?"
Much too well bred to express sur
prise, the prince merely declined the
invitation, and the conversation pro-
ceeded:
Presently the elder lady, oblivious OF
the mods and winks sent in her direc-
ton by her charming daughter, re-
peated the invitation: Prince, you
must be frightfully warm with that
heavy coat on. Pray remove it; you
will be so much more comfortable
The prince looked just the least bit
embarrassed as he replied: Excuse
me, my dear madam, but if you please
| will r-r-retain it"
1t was not until the noble caller left
the house that the daughter explained
to her doting parent that the prince
had not worn an overcoat--Chicago
