OOANANICHE FISHING

A''o' from the Sporting Clubs Where
the Anglers Gather.
Fly fishing is on now at the snortinv
LUIS IN Long Island and at other
places throughout the state, At the
south Side sportsmen's Club. at Oak
Gale, the trout are lustier and more
com oatlve than in some seasons. and
tnere Is every prospect that more fish
VIII De landed than in 1896, when 49,
ooo trout, weighing $500 pounds. were
caught. The 49,. same. story of 81 good
catches Is reported from the trout pre-
serves at other parts of Long Island
Ihere are so many fish in the ponds
ana brooks that, since the rations Of
chopped liver have been stopped, they
will rise to any lure offered from
salmon fly to red rag, and fl y fishing
IS not the art it should be. Whoever
trles Tor trout in the open waters that
still are left on Long Island, however.
Will ind 1t takes all that one knows
ABOUT ny casting and fly tying to bring
1a1r string to the landing net. In
these waters the fish are few and very
wary. Unless the fly fisherman is proof
against many disappointments and
trials he will be tempted to bait with
worm the way the country boys do.
AT the Tuxedo Club the trout fishing
is up to the mark, but the ouananiche
are not taking the fly as quickly as
they did last season. The Tuxedo
hatcherles are equal to any in the
country, and the clubs waters always
TEEN with trout. From the day when
they are turned out as fingerlings. the
trout have to forage for themselves.
and they are game from gills to tail.
The stint to each members basket on
the brooks is fifty or on the lakes
twenty-five, for here the fish run lar
ger, and any skillful angler may get his
quota in couple of hours. The first
ouananiche, the genuine "land-locked
salmon, were obtained from the United
States hatchery in Maine some five
years ago, but they have since been
matched out at Tuxedo from the spawn
OF the first specimens The deep pools
OF the large lake at Tuxedo have af-
Iorded to the ouananiche the cool re-
treats they require to thrive in the
hot summer of this latitude, which va
ries so greatly from their native habit
ats in Maine and Canada, and they have
grown to great size and strength, some
times touching the five and six pound
mark. This year the ouananiche have
the clubmen guessing. The lake over
the deep pools seems to be alive with
them, for, as the anglers whip the wa
tiers with their casts, glimpses of
cleaning bodies and of dorsal or eau
dial fins may be seen on every side, as
the salmon rush to and fro to feed on
the insect life, but the artificial lines
are ignored. It makes no difference
what flies are used, from Jock Scott
to coachman, for, when a fish has oc-
casionally deigned to rise, it has been
at a different pattern each time. Dur
ing the cold spell last week, which
with the high wind, temporarily clear
ed the lake of the lowering insects and
flies, the ouananiche went at the hook
in spirited style. The Tuxedo men
hope that they will no longer have to
lie awake O. nights thinking out new
flies to try for the ouananiche in the
morning. ID 49,. s. .5.. o

Salty Taste of Sea Water.

Sea water is brackish, because the
sea contains mines of salt at the bot
tom of its bed; second, the water is
impregnated with bituminous matter
which is brackish, and, third, it con-
tains many putrid substances of a
brackish nature. The reason why rain
water is not salty, although most of
it is evaporated from the sea- is ex-
planned by the fact that salt will not
evaporate, and therefore when sea wa
ter is turned into vapor it's salt is left
behind. -.

Young Whirlem's a schemer and al
ways awake to opportunities for doing
himself good turn. When he served
notice a few weeks ago that he had
decided to enlist, and in case of war
serve as an artilleryman or in the
navy there was widespread consterna-
ton, says the Detroit Free Press. His
family think that the hopes of the flu
ture, so far as this country is con-
cerned, rest largely with him. He is
social lion and the CONSERVATION ex-
tended among eligible daughters and
managing mothers. That was just what
Whirlem had anticipated It was what
he played for. Nothing could be nicer
than to have the folks at home trying
to make everything as pleasant as pos
slble for him while all the girls of his
acquaintance were deploring the i'm
minence Of fate that might take him
from them forever He was right in
clover and making hay while the sun
shone. But Whirlem is not the fellow
to make a false move, though he will
bluff to the limit He went to the old
family physician for careful physi-
cal examination and was Informed that
his condition did not meet with the
requirements Of the service. The doc
tor did this with the hope Of having
Whirlem forego bis purpose. But the
result was just the opposite, for if he
would not be accepted there would be
glory with safety in offering himself.
He did. He almost tainted when in
formed that he had passed an admir-
able examination: Now he would give

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inf1amed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for

by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
