The Cowboy of the Past.

The cowboys of picture and story ex- isted in the brilliant days. At first they had come from Texas, but in the zenith of their romantic glory they came from everywhere and from every class. They included young Englishmen, college graduates from the east, well born Amer icans-all sorts who did not "strike luck" at anything else and who were full of vim and love of adventure. They got e40 a month and good keep during the great CT part of each year. They rode good horses that had as much of the devil in them as the "boys" themselves. They bought hand stamped Cheyenne saddles and California bits that were as ornate as jewelry and stuck their feet in grand tapaderos, or hooded stirrups, richly or namented, padded with lambs wool, and each as big as fire hat. Their spurs were fit for grandees, their ropes" or lariats, were selected with more care than circus tightrope, and their big broad felt sombreros cost more than the Prince of Wales ever paid for pot hat.
 And then, alas! the cowmen began to economize in men, food, wages-every- thing. The best of the old kind of cow boys, who had not become owners or foremen, saloon keepers or gamblers or had not been shot, drifted away. Some of the smartest among them became "rustlers"-those cattle thieves whose depredations resulted in what almost came to be a war in Wyoming. They in- sisted that they had to do it to hve.- Harper's.

How to Fish a Trout Pool,

presume every fly fisher has at some time or another found likely looking trout pool and worked it carefully with his flies from one end to the other, and perhaps changed his flies and rested the pool and again worked over it without getting a rise from a trout of decent size, and then proceeded down stream or up stream, just as it happens that he is down stream or up stream fisher, feeling that in the pool a big trout is lurking, that he must be there because everything indicates it, but unfortunate ly the hybook does not contain the, par ticular fly that will bring his troutship from his lair.
 If this should happen to 8 fly fisher during this charming blossom season, and he has fished the pool aftistically and well instead of proceeding on his way, haunted by the thought of big trout left behind, let him fill his pipe, if he Is smoker, and retire from the pool until the soothing weed is consumed, and smoker and pool are both rested. Then approach and cast the flies below or at one side of the particular spot which appears to hold the fish, and when the flies sink below the surface draw them past the spot with force enough to make the water curl as it is divided by the flies drawn so swiftly that neither trout nor man can distinguish the par ticular flies of the cast.-Forest and Stream

Popularity of New Medicines.

From time to time some form of treat ment for. disease or some medicine be comes suddenly popular. Physicians of repute give their testimony and record their belief in the new specific, and the patients who have been benefited mani fest that strange enthusiasm to get oth- CTS into trying their remedy which is so marked characteristic of the average man and woman. The newspapers find out the latest craze, and reporters be- come leaHped in many long words tech nically descriptive of various parts of the body or of the action on these of the new treatment.
 For time he who reads or listens to the talk of others would believe that the elixir has been found at last-that elixir of which Pythagoras dreamed and which Lord Bacon thought might exist. the wonderful cure all which is to vanquish every disease-and then, within six months, year, two years at most, the new remedy has been forgotten or has sunk into modest place in the pharma- copRia, and the new treatment is old and of small respect. The part which medical men play in puffing these fads into prominence and repute is a most important one. Without their counte- nance and indorsement nothing could be done. That they so countenance and in- dorse them may be attributed to several causes, some inherent in medical science, others refecting the highest praise on the physicians themselves, and then, again, others which may only be condemned Cyrus Edson, M.
