Blacklist has been known to run as

bottom-feeding fish, owing to their hab-
itat, do not readily shy at tackle. Many
anglers use three hooks, n Immediately
above the sinkers, and the others as near
hat as possible, tying them just far
enough apart to avoid tangling.
In fishing on badly broken wrecks,
however, it is often best to use only one
hook: then, II an unusually large black
fish u m among the timbers, there is no
danger Of fouling, as there would be We're
other hooks dangling from the line.
This danger of fouling the wreck ap.
plies also to the anchor. h ordinary
fluke or mushroom anchor is almost sure
to foul, in which case it is generally a
total loss. When fishing is quiet inner
waters, it is better to use an ordinary
stone for an anchor: when fishing out
side, a trip line should be attached to the
anchor lukes, n the anchor should be
laid as far to windward or tideward from
the wreck as possible.
INNER" FISHING.
1t is the fishing in inner waters, and
particularly deep salt creeks. that is most
angler-like. Here you can choose your
own tackle: only remember in the choice
of the rod that the blackfish has jaws
with mighty teeth, and that his lips are
of the toughest leather. The angler mus

BALZAC, THE PRINCE OF REALISTS

George Mclean Harper in ~Scribner's:
Balzoc is the greatest French novelist.
O%ne-third or one-half of the best French
novels are his; and from him dates near
~ all that is excellent in the theory n
practice of his successors. Since his
day, the men who have done most for
the art of fiction in France, the men who
have developed it and kept it vital, have
been his disciples. He expressly formu-
lated, n on many page he illustrated,
and unimpeachable doctrine of realism.
Fidelity to the truth as derived by actual
observation, or capable of being tested
by observation-this, Balzac taught, is
an indispensable quality in a novelist.
He is the greatest French novelist, but
wrote some of the most inartistic books
in all French literature. He was the
father of the realists; yet for many of
his works his sons are tempted to dis
own him. Moreover, he conceived and
carried out, to an astonishing extent, the
idea of representing in fiction the life OF
his time in France, so that no essential
eatures should be lacking: and he die
all this in such wise that t h picture
!; though complete in almost every feature
ycomplete beyond praise and beyone
parallel in literature or n other art:

HOW AN UP. TO DATE
CYCLIST TRAINS
C0LLETT, THE SPEEDY YOUNG
AMATEUR DESCRIBES HIS
METHOD OF PREPARING
FOR A RACE,

1t is not customary to look upon cycling
an art, and yet there is almost as much
in winning a race against a party Of
speedy opponents as there is in painting
a picture, for it is necessary that one
shall be well educated along certain
lines; he must have a natural taste for
his work, n he must invent the sys-
tenn of procedure that is best suited to
his individual case. In other words, it
is brains and not legs tina win cycle
races. Under certain conditions legs
may triumph, and they are always a
necessary adjunct, but the man who de-
ponds upon his legs alone will find 1t a
difficult matter to climb the perpendicu-
lar ladder at the top of which success
sits SO invitingly.
While it is quite possible that there
are a dozen wheelmen in this country
who have forgotten more about cycle
racing than l nave ever known, the sue
cess that l have enjoyed that my sys-
tenn of work and training is by no means
a bad one, and while it may not be suit
able to every aspirant for racing honors
it is by long odds the best system for me.
AS far as l am concerned l believe
that the only way in which a mar can
hope to continue the winning of bicycle
races in by pursuing carefully ana per-
sistently a systematic plan. Two or
three months before my season opens
this careful work. In the first
place, I proceed to regulate my eating
and general habits, and l see to it that
I have a full ten hours sleep every night,
for l believe that sleep is a prime neces-
sity in the training for any athletic event.
For my part I do not lay so much
stress on food, providing only that it
shall be plain and wholesome and eaten
with regularity. l always avoid eating
different meats at the same meal. how
ever, and partake of no other stimulants
than an occasional glass of good, souno
ale. l have followed his course fol-
| years, and / am Of the opinion that 6
man who adops this system and yet
| cannot win, provided he is properly
| mounted, has not the right stuff in him
for a champion.
It is another idea of mine that many

track simply from lack of confidence II
his own ability. AS the result | always

cannot possibly be beaten. and I try te

GOOD FISHING IN
DEEP WATER
WITH THE TREES ALL IN
BLOSSOM, IS THE TIME TO
CATCH BIGGEST FISH.

When the apple trees stand clothed IN
a glory of pink and white blossoms, and
the wild violets spangle the green fields
where everything is moving and growing
under the jovial touch of the spring sun,
hten is the time to seek the sea and go
a%-fishing.
AS the waters have warmed, the fat
winter fish, the founders, have fled into
the deep sea to stay until the cold winds
of autumn begin to blow. From that
same mysterious world there comes an
other fish equally plebian, blu far more
sturdy. This fish is the blacktish the
lid of the sea; built like that animal,
with massive shoulders and mighty jaws,
and with the same fighting qualities,
The tautog, or blackfish. is not ''ganley'
like the bluefish or weakfish. His Shiny
sides are notified with rich shades Of
black and gray and dingv white, but
there is no beauty about them.
Angling for blackfsh is not sport; but
If the chunky fellows are sought in the
open sea, where the ground swell heaves
make the fishing exciting; or if the ang-
Ter prefers to seek the tautog in quiet
| sedge-lined salt creeks or in sheltered
| coVes it becomes as restful and charming
| a pastime as one can wish.
OF course, in the fishing in the open
sea the biggest fish are taken; but the
fishing in the quiet waters is not barren
of rich rewards. At any time. in any
| place, however unlucky- a hoary old
| giant may come to the hook.
Blacklist root on rocky reefs, along
barnacle-covered old timbers, along the
| channels, where the marine worms build
their coral-like lime formations. and

Sometimes, when blackfish will bite
neither on fiddlers nor anything else, they
will take hermit crab eagerly.
A few last words: Dc not use hooks
of any but stout, hard steel. the fish
have powerful teeth, and can bite a hin
hook in two. If fishing over a wreck or
a rough, rocky reef, be sure to snub
your fish up hard as soon as he is hook
ed. 1t is all right to let him run and
play after you get him from the bottom,
or away from the wreck, but, if the

remote possibility that the pins may fall,
and this is where the head Worn of h
player comes in.
A strike" of course, has a greater
numerical value, but when such plays
are made they are not of the kind to
arouse the spectators to a burst of en-
thusiasm. as is tn case when a difficult
spare is successfully encountered. The
fact is that the making of these spares
is not unlike the execution of difficult
billiard shots, and they require a greater
amount of skill and study tina the aver
age onlooker has any conception of. Even
to the occasional player geometrical COM
are presented that seem prac-
tically beyond solution, and as there is
little luck to be considered as a possible
ity in such a proposition, it is necessary
that the play shall be made on it's W
merits. The great fascination OF the
game, however. is that almost every
spare" can be overcome. Some of them
are SO difficult thai the object cannot be
attained more often han once in bo
times. but the fact that the play is a pos
sible one adds to the excitement OF the
contest.

LIVE NEAR WRECKS.
Whenever there is a wreck in fairly
deep water, the work of the ocean begins
on it at one Animal forms of all kinds
seek it and make it a home. Barnacles,
small sea crabs. hermit crabs, mussels,
oysters, worms and shrimp fasten them
selves to it. until in a few years every
inch of the timber is covered with a thick
growth of animal life. It is this which
makes, not only these wrecks, but also
al rocky reefs and sunken projections
Of any kind the favorite feeding places
for great hordes of blackfish.
The best bait for blacktish under all
ordinary circumstances is the little land
crab known as fiddler which burrows by
myriads in all the sand banks along
shore. There are, however, two varie-
ties. One kind, which is found on muddy
lodges. is dark blue or almost black.
Only rarely do blackish bite on them.
Ordinarily, they do not appear to attract
the fish in the least. The only fiddler
| which is absolutely sure bait, other
things being equal. in the back
crab. which is found only on the sandy
shores. This crab looks exactly like
beautiful porcelain. It's color is light
