fishing while there Now what had you
better take in the way OF tackle?
First the rod. Do not get a cheap split
bamboo there are plenty sold at from So
to $5 apiece, but not one in hundred is
worth buying: to make split bamboo
takes skilled workmen and careful selec-
ion of the pieces OF cane used, aud that
is expensive. The cheap rods are made .,y
splitting the cane up with hand-saw and
gIuing the pieces together, without examin-
ing whether the pieces are perfect or not
There are eighteen pieces in q rod, and
one bad piece will spoil the W hole, so the
chances % getting anything worth nav
ing are very small.
Get rod about nine feet six inches long.
or even shorter, made like fly-rod with
the bands for the reel below the hand grip,
and rather stiff, made OF green heart,
which Is, think, better Than lancewoo,l,
and weighing about eight ounces; such a
rod is a good all-round rod, and can be
bought at any of our sporting goods shops
for three or four dollars A simple click
reel will cost So, and waterproof silk
line, about F. size, dollar For trout
fishing you will need some three-foot gut

Saying this, Mr.. Pulitzer absorbed an

Your correspondent said he would think
the matter over, a1din the afternoon called
on Mr.. Dana pursuant to the invitation re-
ceived while In Cuba. The great editor was
seated in his office with his lunch can be-
side him, and as entered he was devour-
ing hucklebery tart.
If you want TO enter the service of the
Sum- said he, ''you will have to report
to the city editor as copy boy. We raise
our staff right here in the office. You will
have to begin at the bottom and work up,
and perseverance, energy and patience,
you may get $50 week in the course Of
ten or fifteen years. That's how l got

Mr.. Dana then fished up an egg sandwich
from the bottom of the can, and went at it
in dreamy sort OF reverie. Your corre-
spondent had not the heart to disturb him,
and gently came away.

His Little Mistake.

There is one amusing feature about
wheel riding that all old riders and good
many new ones-must have noticed That
is the way in which moderately proficient
rider will carry a conversation with some
one behind him, without really knowing
VINO that someone may be. A moderately
proficient rider isn't clever enough to
turn his head to look backward, ami so he
talks right on in the dark, as it were.
The other day wheelman was coming
up the Dodge street hin. There isn't much
of hill ON Dodge street, but slight as it
Is, it bothers the new riders. Just ahead OF
the wheelmen in question: who was riding
at leisurelyr rate, was astoutlady IN onnted
on new bike Half way up the incline
the wheelman was astonished to hear
her call out:
Coming, deaI?'
The wheelman didn't answer. lie felt
sure tl;e inquiry couldn t he addressed to
him, and he kept silence.
''An out of breath, dear?' she called
again.
ply. !,
Don't he discouraged" she cheerily
shouted: you'll get there by and by.
dearest.''
The wheelfnan thought SO. too, but he
made no mention of the fact.
''Does it tiIe oor little armies so mGchee?''
continued the stout lady.
That was too muchee for the wheelman-
He put on steam and passed the lady. AS
he whirled by she caught sight OF his smil-
ing countenance.
''oh. beg your pardon" she cried, and
narrowly averted tumble.
When the wheelman had gone little
farther he looked back over his shoulder
and saw a lank young fellow with fuzzy
little SIDE whiskers, toiling wearily UP the
hill. 4

A new book from the West is THE Ghost
of Guir House," by Charles Willing Beale.
To some who read his name perhaps there
is the recollection of a man of many ac-
complishnents, fine attachments and more
achievements to come with larger oppor-
tunity- II must be confessed that as we
read this mans name in first opening his
book it meant absolutely nothing to us
any more than would any other which
had stTayed by chance fIom loose-leayed
directory 1t was ffeient matter when
the book had been read. 1t opened rather
conventionally, but that soon faded be-
fore an invitation to interest and finally
an Irresistible demand upon our interest
and admiration, equally, to the last page
Then Charles Willing Beale rose up as The
name of man who possessed the orig
inality to conceive an absorbing story,
the skill 10 develop it, and the law brain
matter to leaven it with some radical
thought on supernatural topics, which In
less able hands would have been stupid and
perhaps ridiculous.
Mr.. Beale tells a story of youLg man
who received q strange invitation from
an unknown young woman to come to
her home in a remote and primitive portion
of Virginia. He appreciates that the let
ter was not intended for him, but as it is
evident that the writer did not even
know the man to whom It was directed,
threw In his way and went to G ur house.

from this farcical situation, but all that

that it comes second. His career follows
ti'e ascendant arc of the rainbow. 1T is
Far from zenith, but perhaps Dawson is
I young. There is abundant indication of
impetus to force him thitherward.
One of the sentient weaknesses of his
story is its dIscursiveness There are 451
large pages. That is a great many. Too
many for what he has got to say. And
in al that breadth of opportunity he ha s not
given Il striking description, there are no
vivid moving passages, nothing memorable
about the story; because events are kept
too far apart, and there is about every
thing the effect of dlution in expansion.
Mr.. Dawson's style is fresh and correct;
lac has the quality of modeinity and ne w
ness which present writers affect, III order.
probably, that they may be q st'nguished
from Addison and Steele and Emerson.
His theme, too, is bold and VIGOROUS, and
he displays remarkable powers of sustain
ment in carrying it through the vast num-
bcr OF pages, and his three characters OF
the father and his two sons are well dra wn,
and, In the instance of the two latter, ad-
mlraily differentiated.
His theme is heredity dissipated
father finds himself a curse to the social
and practical future of his two boys. He
accepts the proposition of a wealthy friend
to remove his blight from their life, and
retire himself from life. He obliterates
his personality, and buries himself in the
Australian bush. But the pattern al instinct
lis too strong. He goes back to England
and comes incognito into the lives of his
sons. One has become a great politician,
and he becomes his sons private secre-
tary The other drifts into the inexacti-
tudesof PoheEia. But heredity has marked
both. The elder has the black curse OF
his father The other the white light
of his mothers purity and probity. The
inevitable end overtakes the elder. An
other end, almost inevitable, but not called
SO because .felicitous, overtakes the other
The father remained in the bush
1t is no. entirely easy TO understand Mr.
Dawson; so it is perhaps safer not to criti-
cize him. He seems sincere and pur-
poseful, and his attainunents are scholarly
If his expression seems, TO our limitations,
errafic. His theory of exposition and his
style formality are strange and uncon-
ventional. 1t is not always safe TO be-
little the unconventional. Doubtless he
is striving toward a form OF fiction ana
theory of literary expression which VIII
come To- he recognized as the standard of a
too near future. 1t is decidedly safer to
watch a writer like this than to affect un-
derstan.iing and brand with deficiency.

NJ. Ronrctder Sanford imam or wouian?l,
the author of 1.-The Romance OF n jesuit
Mission has gone back to the middieof the
seventeenth century for the time of the
story, and for locale to that present portion
of the province of Ontario, Canada, which
Hes adjacent TO the bays of Notta wasaga
and Matchedash. There, on the little River
Wye, was built Sainte Marie, one Of the
earliest OF the Jesuit Missions.
The atmosphereofthes storyis given blythe
severe climate, the associations between
missionaries, traders and Indians, the
rude buildings, the primitive environment
aud the background of historical verify on
which is builded the romance. 1t is all
very interesting and attractive, for new
historical Tomances always bring with
them ninvigoratingi interest. and the time
and place and people of this tale have
heretofore been foreign to fiction and
come in with the stimulating element of
novelty. (New York: Baker& Ia ylor Com
