The stiffness of the woods, the deep shade
that falls over some cool bend in the brook
where the trout love to lie, the quiet and
fish be suspicious and refuse to rise for the
fly the sudden jerk that thrills the sports
mans hand and heart alike as the trout darts
away with the delusive bait and the excit-
ing battle that ensues before the slippery
prey is ut last safe in the basket are few
attractive features of a sport that numbers
Its devotees by tens of thousands.
The speckled trout abounds in the small
streams of the northern and middle parts
of the United States and in the Canadian
brooks. 1t is very similar to the common
trout of Europe and is known by several
names and has markings that vary in diff
ferent parts Of North America. But like
the rose, no matter whether it is known as
the brook trout. the Oregon trout, the gold
en- trout of California or by any other name,
1t is as sweet to the palate, as beautiful to
the eye and as highly priced by the fisher
man. There is a great deal said nowadays
about the proper costume for an angler and
columns are devoted to a description of his
tackle and general equipment. a S35 bam-
boo rod, however, is not the distinguishing
mark of true fisherman any more than a
single swallow is an nfallible sign of sum
mer. Nor are corduroy coats, wading boots
that reach far above the knees and Scotch
caps absolutely necessary to the disciples
of Walton who would lure the brook trout
from woodland eddies.
Not that good tackle, scasonable bait and
appropriate clothing are to be despised
Expensive tackle, if it is inteligently Sc
iected, is valuable aid; book of good
flies is Indispensable if the trout are hungry

from the shaded bank, and Il corduroy coat
aud Scotch cap arc certainly picturesque.
But have landed many pounds of trout
with short, jointless bamboo rod, an or
binary linen line and dozen or two OF
frantlcally kicking grasshoppcrs. AS for
clothing, u dark suit that has long since lost
the Sunday best distinction, an old SLOUGH
or dark straw hat and pair of ordinary
rubber boots will answer very well.
One may catch trout without reel, but
as playing big speck led beauty is half the

and dozen flies will swell the necessary
outlay to $40 or $25. Nothing more is real
~ needed. Too many trappings like hope
deferred, make the heart sick, and n fisher
man who tramps all day in heavy march
ing order will be apt to wonder how Izaall
Walton managed to worry along 30 years
without becoming thoroughly weary of an
Cling.
The proper bait for trout fishing depends
entirely upon the state of the finny prev's
palate. Sometimes the most appetizinr
looking fly, angleworm or grasshopper will
be of 10 more use than II bit of red flannel

Fancy Names For the pansx

Though there are lovclicr and more mag

be regarded as a general fnvorite 1t is for
this reason, perhaps, that it has so many
popular names. BY some it has been called
heartsease; but, says Mcehan's Monthly,
this title rightfully belongs to the wall
flower, because of it's supposed virtues as a
cordial. There is no doubt, however, that
in various times and places the pansy has
been styled by the following curious budget
