She Was a Fifteenth Century Author
fly on Fly Fishing.
The first printed English book on
angling was Dame Juliana Berner's
ssBook Of st. Albans," which. appeared
about 1850, and contained a chapter
entitled "a Treatyse on Fyshynnge
With an Angle" Ii. ,-7s-s
Fly fishing must have been practiced
much earlier than this. as nothing but
a gradual evolution could account for
the complete, list Of flies for the fish
ing months Of the year which it gives.
To Dame Berner belongs the honor
Of first telling that the salmon could
be caught with the fly. She says cal
so ye may take hym, but it is seldom
seeH with a dubbe at such times as
when he lepith in lyke fourme and

complete than could have been that
of the original inventor, SO that the
time when fly fishing originated in
British waters must remain uncertain

dation of those of which Izaak Wal

THE WATWA OF AFRICA.
A Curious Tribe, Low Down In the
Scale of Humanity.

a
Scale of Humanity. $50
A hunter Of big game in Africa gives
description of tribe of natives
whom he found there, the Watwa.
.'These natives,' he says, ''liye in the
swamps, their staple article of diet be-
ing fish and flour made from the seed
Of the water lily, although during the
rains they grow, patches Of cassava
root and sweet potatoes at the edge
Of the swamp. They smear their
bodies with mud to protect them from
mosquitoes and are extremely dirty
and evil smelling in consequence. They
are very low down in the scale of hui
manity and have a bad reputation
among tribes living on the high ground,
which reputation they upheld during
our visit. We engaged several Watwa
natives as carriers, but they only came
to see what they could steal. One day
I shot a reed buck in sight of the
camp and left two Watwa to carry it
In while went after a hartbeest, but
I never saw either men or buck again.
1t was no use following them into the
swamps, as they knew every inch
of the ground and water. They had
small canoes hidden everywhere, and
Immediately they crossed a stream
they sunk the canoe again where they
alone knew where to find it. Our boys
were afraid to follow them, as they
used poisoned arrows and sometimes
set poisoned stakes in the tracks lead
ing to their haunts."
