FlY Casting.

AS useful way as any to help the read
er to cast fly will be to describe how the
writer has tried TO help lads who are learn
ing. 1t is in this way: The boy takes the
rod, fitted with its reel and line only, to
waters edge free of bushes or trees, or TO q
lawn recently moved. If the grass is
slightly damp, all the better, as it holds
the line more nearly as does the water. He
pulls off from the reel enough line so that
the free part shall be once and q half or
twice the length of the rod. This he throws
out in front of him as well as he can. He
then is told to keep his elbow close against
his side to prevent moving the arm above
the elbow. He then tries with q quick
movement of the wrist and with as little
movement of the forearm as possible to
lift the line upward and backward until 1t
straightens out behind him, and then with
another similar motion to make it go
straight out before him.
Do not try to make the forward cast on
just the same plane as the back cast, for
fear that the end of the line should snap
like whiplash, which, if you were actual
ly fishing, would crack off your flies pretty
certainly. Therefore make the lift of the
back cast with slight sweep, generally
inward toward the body is the more nat
ural, and deliver the forward cast straight
out toward its destination; but always
aim about your own height above the SPOT
on the water you mean to reach to insure
the line falling lightly. -Harper's Round
Table.

The Joke That Failed.

There is an individual in Manchester
who thought he would play dead and find
out for certain exactly how much his wife
thought of him. Accordingly he lay down
upon his bed, placed an empty laudanum
vial by his side, and, holding his breath,
awaited events.
Then came the lady. She looked upon
the apparent corpse and wondered what
in the world could have induced John to
put an end to himself after this fashion.
The more she considered the more she
marvelled, and at last thought she, too,
would try an experiment. Perhaps John
was not dead altogether. The laudanum
might not have taken full effect. She had
heard that a needle introduced. into the
human flesh would indicate, by the chang
ing of the brightness Of the polished sur
face, whether that flesh was defunct.
John, all unconscious of the treat in store
for him, remained silent, enjoying, how
ever, the opinion that, from her manner.
Mrs. John would not fade away on account
of his passing away. The lady had no idea
OF going to the expense of burying man
who was not dead, and, approaching the
bedside with throbbing heart and bated
breath, she thrust the needle bravely and
deeply into Johns leg.
John was astonished and so was Mrs.
John, as he jumped up and declared that
the whole thing was joke. He was not
much pleased, because his wife said she
thought it the best joke she had ever
known. John has come to the wise deter
mination that playing dead with that
woman is game which has its disad-
vantages. We neglected to state that the
needle was extracted London Tit-Bits.

CREMATION IN FRANCE.

A Great Deal of Red Tape Before the
Ceremony Is Permitted.
1t is not, even in these days of advanced
hygiene, difficult to die but in France, at
least, it appears to be not very easy to be
cremated. In fact, if a Frenchman wishes
to give his heirs, executors and assigns as
much trouble. as possible after he has de-
parted this life, he could hardly do more
than leave directions that his body should
be disposed of in that manner
The following are the formalities that
have to be gone through before his wishes
can be carried out: /. A request on stamp
ed paper for leave to have the body Gre
mated must be addressed to the mayor of
the commune. 2. A certificate of death,
also on stamped paper, must be got from
the medical attendant. 3. This certificate
must be countersigned by the commissioner
of police f. A further certificate certify
ing the certificate of the medical attendants
must be obtained from the civil medical
officer. 5. The next step is to go before the
mayor armed with the various certificates
enumerated, to obtain the authorization of
that functionary. g. This authorization
having been obtained, it must be presented
to the project of police, who, after counter
signing it, delivers three certificates for
the removal of the body-one for the may
or, one for the pompes funebres (corre-
spending to undertakers) and one for the
authorities of the Pere Ia Chaise cemetery.
2. The prefecture of the Seine must next
be visited to arrange as to the hour at
which the cremation is to take place. 8.
Next some one must go to the burial office
of the commune to settle the details of the
funeral and to pay the bill. 8. On arriv-
r. NJ the cemetery the authorization of
t4lo mayor and the certificate of the project
of police must be presented to the keeper
in his office. 10. After the cremation has
been carried out the representative of the
deceased family must again go to the
keepers office and pay the tax of 1876 francs

MODERN MEXICO.
The Place In Its Building Up That Pres
ident Diaz Holds.

The Place In Its Building Up That Pres
ident Diaz Holds.
When once we had spoken Of the school
system President Diaz has created for
Mexico-the theme which more than any
other seemed to kindle him-and when
he had given in five minutes an astonish-
ing birdseye view of huge field, he add
ed, it seemed to me with fine mingling
of dignity and pathos: "And the English
is compulsory. So, when we, the old, are
gone Mexico will have two idioms."
And again, when the theme was the
steps up which one by one he has handed
Mexico from intermittent anarchy to sure
peace, he said gravely and with that same
terseness: st needed something of the
strong hand (la mano dura). But every
year it could relax. Now, though there
are some who do not love 'Porfrio,' all
love peace. So the fist is wide open. There
is full hberty-free schools, free ballot,
free press. They may do what they will
so they do not fire gun at me-" Here Is
the keynote of modern Mexico-a dictator
ship which has spent ungrudgingly It's
blood and its care for the country's prog
ress.
1t is this man, whose eye and voice and
step belle the half of his years, that has
wrought the Mexican miracle. And if he
has put new face on his country it is not
a whit more remarkable than the trans
formation he has wrought upon his own
shoulders. This has been a TRANSPORTATION
of which I know no parallel. Making due
allowance for the change of fashion in
facial landscape gardening, Porfrio Diaz
was not from the start visibly frontispieced
by fate for all that he has become Within
youths memory he wore the mere fea-
lures of a soldier. Even in the seventies he
might have been chief of rurales. But
today his face is unmistakable, and a
proverb for "the handsomest man in Mex
ico." BY sheer features this is not true.
But by the collective impression 1t is. In
a generation he has given himself new
face, and even made over the shape of his
head In all the breadth of regenerated
republic there is no more striking monu-
ment to the thought it has needed to turn
the Mexico in which Juarez died into the
Mexico of today than the very head of the
man who did it.-Charles T. Lummis in
Harper's Magazine.

AMERICAN BRooMS.
The Fest In the World and a Larger Part
~ tho World Swami WIFI, Them.


OF the World Swept With Them.
American brooms are exported in large
numbers to many countries. Our expor-
tations of brooms to some countries have
within recent years, owing to natural
causes, decreased, but our aggregate ex-
ports are nevertheless now larger than
ever, and still increasing. We send brooms
to Central America. South America and
South Africa, to the United Kingdom and
to France and Germany. We sent many
brooms to Australia. Now we send few
brooins there But we send large quaint
ties of broom corn, and VIC send there, too,
broommakiEg machinery. American
hroommaking machinery is sent also to
other foreign countries. At one time many
American brooms were sold in the Argen-
tine Republic, but now they are raising
broom corn on the Platte river, and max
ing brooms down there too. We send now
and then little lot of brooms to China.
but we send none, or practically none, to
other Asiatic countries, and our exports to
China are SO small as to be of no consider
alton whatever in the account
The climate of this country is favorable
to the growth of broom corn, and here
broom corn is cultivated with the greatest
skill and with the best results. Consider
able quantities of broom corn are raised in
Italy, but it is of a poorer quality, and it
is commonly permitted to ripen too much
until it is red and lifeless and brittle The
italian corn is made into brooms In Ger
many, where the labor is much cheaper
than here. But that cheapness is offset
by the effective use of machinery here. In
this country even the corn itself is har-
vested and sorted by machines. American
brooms of the lower grades are put down
in Germany at prices that are very close to
those of the poorer German brooms. The
higher grades of American brooms cost
more, but they are the best brooms in the
world. They excel in durability and in
all other good qualities. Some brooms are
packed for export in boxes, but there are
countries in which import duties are levied
on gross weight where a packing box
would be too costly tare, and brooms for
export are commonly packed in burlaps,
handles and all being completely covered.
We send no whisk brooms to Europe.
There they still cling to the old fashioned
clothes brush. But to all other countries
to which we send brooms we send whisk
brooms too.-New York Sun.
