French workmen In New York.

They make not only artificial
flowers and plants in the French
quarter of New York city. but also
the implements with which artificial
flowers and plants are made; and the
die sinkers of that region are an un-
commonly deft and picturesque class
of artificers. Nearly all are foreign
ers, and you see now and then in the
gloom Of the shop a grimy French
workman in sabots. some Indication
that the wearer is still in most essen
tials a European. The implements
turned out by these men are made
with great nicely. and the workman
must possess a certain artistic faculty.
as the forms are of great beauty.
arN he must be able to copy with ex-
act.tude the parts of many flowers
and the leading characteristics of
many leaves.

some Rules which Intending Fisher
should study Carefully.
The oncoming of the trout fishing
season will land additional iateres
to the following, quoted from the
Brooklyn Eagle.
In throwing a fly raise the arm
well up without laboring the body.
Send the fly backward By sudder
spring of the wrist. Do not draw
the fly too near or you lose your .pur,
chase for sending it back. and. there.
fore, require an extra sweep in the
air before you can get it into pla !
again. If on sending it back YOU
make the counterspring a moment
too soon you will whip off your tail
fly, and if Il moment too late your
line Will fall in a slovenly manner.
The knack of catching this time is.
therefore, the whole art of throwing
well. Allow the line no more than
just time to unfold before repeating
the spring of the wrist
When fish is hooked the line
should be wound up Immediately.
The rod must be held on the bend
with just purchase enough to prevent
the trout from going under weed
or boring into the gravel. Now let
him run and walk by the side of the
stream. When he strikes ease him
quickly. When he becomes weak
pull him gently down stream, aim
ing to get his nose above water.
This must be done with patience.
Gradually get the fish on some slop-
ing place, and never attempt to pull
him out of the water, as boys do bull
heads. Capture him as best you can.
always remembering that il is never
safe to think a trout is drowned until
you have him safely in your hand
The sight of a man with landing
net sometimes revives an apparent
ly exhausted fish in a miraculous
manner
Trout seldom rise well to a fly
just before rain or at midday.
Trolling or spinning minnow
and bait fishing in all it's phases
require no description. Every school
boy knows how to catch trout by
these methods.
Most of the choice trout waters on
Long Island are now owned or leased
by sporting clubs or by private
and efforts have been
made to induce Legislators to confer
upon the former privileges as to
lime that are not enjoyed by resi-
lents of other parts Of the Empire
