THE OLD FLYBooK.
Il Is Bearer to the Angler Than Any
other Possession.

Is there anything closer to an anglers
heart than his fiybook? know Of case
where burglar, among other things,
took a fybook. He was arrested and
speedily convicted and imprisoned. He
cleared things out pretty well in the
house, but the owner seemed to care for
nothing about the missing fur coats,
sealskin sacks, silverware and other
valuable Lares and Penates, but he did
bewail the loss of his book of flies. The
other things he could buytagain, but to
get together such an assortment of valu-
able flies seemed to him an impossible
thing. He had been years collecting
them, picking up odd ones here and
there, until, for quality and variety,
his book could not be excelled.
It was a fly storehouse, as it were.
No matter where he intended fishing,
or whether for trout, bass or salmon, he
could always find a choice assortment
to draw from with which to fill up a
supplementary book.
Although it was some time ago he
yet bewails the loss of that fybook.
Many have been the efforts to get track
Of it, but all in vain. He has gone to
the expense of sending to the prison in
distant city and endeavoring to pre-
vail upon the convict to divulge the
hiding place of the book, but without
success. A persistent search of the
pawnshops and periodical advertising
have produced no better results.
There were flies in that book for trout
and salmon in Irish waters, flies for the
salmon and trout of the Scotch lakes
and the English streams and flies for
the salmon of Norway. The favorites
from Maine to California and from one
end of Canada to another were collected
in that wallet-anything and every
thing, from the feather down midget
with cobweb gut to the lordly salmon
fly, absolutely irresistible to the Turk
ing salmon deep down in the icy pools
of the Cascapedia.
There were flies in that book on
which famous bass, trout and salmon
had been hooked, each fly carrying with
it memories of battles fought from ca
noes among the rushing, swirling wa
tiers. Forest and Stream.

The OUTDOOR CHURCH.

The carven pillars of the trees,
The lowered mosaic of the grass,
The green, transparent traceries
OF leaf on leaf that lightly lies
And lightly moves when breezes pass.
The anthem of the waterfall,
My chorister the blackbird s lay,
And, mingling with, suffusing all,
Borne by the wind and still let fall,
The incense of the new mown hay
This is my church, my altar there.
Here earth, the kindly mother, kneels,
Her mighty hands outspread in prayer,
While DER her brow the sunny air,
A south wind full of blessing, steals
She wraps me in her mantle fold.
! kneel and pray beside her there
As children do whom mothers hold,
And living air and sunlight gold
And wood and meadow pray with me.

intendence of the work. The time and ex-
pense of working the dock should be di-
rectly proportionate to the task involved;
IL should have great fexibility of applica-
ton and should be able to handle reason
ably any craft from a battle ship down to
the tniest torpedo boat. The dock should
be so constructed that IL would produce a
maximum of strength on a minimum Of
material; and each and every part Of itself
should be open to ready inspection and sus-
ceptible of self-handling TO facilitate re-
pair. And further. when the ship can't
reach the dock the dock should be able to
go to II within reasonable limits
1t Is manifest that the ordinary craving
dock-as the hole In the ground Is called
does not answer to any of these require
ments. The ship, instead, is at the bottom
of a damp pit. and handicapped by an ex-
ceedingly limited circulation If air and by
taxing conditions of light except on the
brightest of days. Materials must be passed
up and down under wearying exactions and
cost of time that can only hamper speedy
performance, the smaller the vessel the
greater the amount of water to be pumped
out and the larger that expense; and IL the
vessel exceed the dimensions of the dock
by length or breadth or draft of water over
the sill. that dock Is absolutely useless so
far az that craft be concerned. To repair
any part Of the bottom Of a craving dock
the whole dock must be pumped out, while

Newspapers Training.

failed to do all that was expected of it, DR..

safety the hour of peril. The matters
Of foul bottoms and the incident hampered

been dwelt upon at length but those are
minor questions, comparatively, beside that
all-important one of handling our ships in
case of accident-let alone the injuries of

OF the exhibit. there will be a dress recep-
ton. and the artists hope to make 1t a
notable event in the social calendar The
collection will not be on view later than
November 80. as the Water Color Club

brief time for hanging. The outlook for
the loan collection is very promising, as
most Of those who own fine pictures have
shown willingness to allow the use OF
their treasures. Among those who have
already consented to lend paintings for
the exhibit are Mrs. A. C. Barney, Mrs.
