FLY FISHING IN ANTIQUITY.
Greek Writer of the Third Century De-
scribes the Early Practice.

Probably few fishermen are aware that
hy-fishing dates back to classic times A
minute description of the artificial fly as
used by Macedonian anglers is given by
Aeian, Greek writer of the third century
A. d. as follows:
Between Berea and Thessalonica there
flows a river. Astraeus by name, and there
are in it fishes of spotted color, but by
what name people of those parts call them
it Is better to ask Macedonians. At any
rate, these fSh live upon the native flies
which fall into the river and are like no
flies of any other part. One would neither
call them wasplike in appearance nor would
one reply to question that this creature
is formed like what we call the humble
bees, yet like the honey bees them
selves. 1t has really the proper fashion of
each of the above. In audacity it is like a
fly, in size it might be called humble bee,
in color it rivals the wasp and it buzzes
like the honey bees. All common creatures
of this sort are called horse tails. These
pitch upon the stream to seek the food they
affect, but cannot help being seen by the
fish which swim underneath.
$50 whenever one of them sees the fly
floating he comes softly. swimming under
the water, afraid of disturbing the surface
and soaring away his game. Then he
comes near the shady side of the fly, gapes
and sucks him in, Just like a wolf snatch
Ing a sheep from fold or an eagle goose
from the yard. This done, he disappears
beneath the ripple. The fishermen under
stand these maneuvers but they do not
make any use of these flies for bait for
the fish, for If the human hand lays hold
of them they lose their natural color, their
wings fray and they become UNBEATABLE to
the fish. So, for this reason they make no
use of them, dsliking them because their
nature forbids their capture
so, with angling craft they outwit the
fish, 'devising a sort of lure against them.
They lap a lock of reddish wool round the
hook. and to the wool two cock feathers
which grow under the wattles and are
brought to the proper color with wax. The
rod is from six to ten feet long, and the
horse hair line has the same length. They
lower the lure The fish is attracted by
the color, excited. draws close, and, judg
ing from its beautiful appearance that it
Will obtain marvellous banquet forthwith
opens it's mouth but is caught by the hook,
and bitter, indeed, is the feast 1t has, In
asmuch as it Is captured"

With a yell he leaped back TO the plat

down the hill at top speed.
This did not daunt the bees and n second

the car, but the bees followed adding to
the terror and pain OF the passengers.
Those who desired TO get off at points

The entire interior of the car was fairly

An Old Goldsmith Volume.

An old volume which an Atlanta book

by Oliver Goldsmith. Goldsmiths name

life in them; for when Goldsmith was at
work writing that history he was doing

himself lucky when he could dine in

Pair of Big Shoes.

From the Boston Globe.
What is supposed to be the largest pair
Of shoes ever made in this country was
turned out recently in a Nashua shoe fac
tory. The size of these shoes may well be
imagined when 1t is known that the weight
is eighteen pounds for the pair. Each shoe
is twenty-three inches long and seven and
one-half inches wide in the widest place.
Every detail is as carefully attended to as
in an ordinary first-class shoe, but because
of the enormous size it required several
weeks to turn them out. Special lasts were
made and nearly all of the work, except
the stitching, which was done on the usual
machinery, was done by hand.
AS near as can be figured the size of the
shoes is 40, as compared with the average
ordinary mans shoe. The entire cost OF
manufacturing them was about $50. They
were made for a negress who lives near At
lanta who is known for many miles be-
cause OF the size of her feet.

And She Took the Hint.

From It'd Bits.
At the 'home stations of the British
army the private soldiers washing is usual
ly done by the married soldiers wives who
are expected to sew on missing buttons and
make other repairs for which a small sum
is deducted from the privates pay.
Pat McGinnis had had a good deal OF
trouble with his laundress. Sunday after
Sunday had his shirt come back with the
neck button lacking or only hanging by
thread He had spoken about the matter
and the woman had promised to see to 1t.
but still the button was not properly fixed.
He got out of patience one day when the
missing button had made him late for pa
rade Bother the woman he said. 'I'll
see II / can't give her hint this time,
anyhow"
Taking the lid of tin backing box, about
three inches In diameter, he punched two
holes In it and sewed 1t on to the neck OF
the shirt that was next to be washed When
his washing came back he found she hid
taken the hint--or part of 1t. She had
made buttonhole to at the lid.

WAR IS NOW LESS DEADLY.
Modern Ordnance Greatly Discourages
Hand-to-Hand Encounter.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

FROM the 1nuaueIphla Ledger.
AS we gradually approach our own time
we shall find not only that the proportion
OF those actually slain in battle to the
number of those who are wounded show
sensible decrease, but that the total cas-
ualty lists are almost invariably smaller in
proportion TO the numbers engaged, In spite
of the fact that the weapons of war are al
ways described as growing more and more
deadly. In the campaigns of Marlborough
there was still much hand-to- hand fighting
for, although artillery had taken it's place
In the battlefield, the infantry firearm was
possessed of little range or accuracy. Ac
cordingly at Blenheim and Malplaquet, two
of the most bloody struggles of later times,
although the slain show a decreasing ratio,
the losses on both sides, out of a total OF
about $50 600 combatants, were in the for
mer engagement 1900 killed, wounded and
prisoners while the cost of driving the
French from strong position at Malpa-
quet was 10000 killed and wounded out of a
force of about $1,000.
Although IN the modern armies of more
modern times losses have reached In many
instances a high figure, yet the percentage
OF slaughter, especially of killed to wound
ed combatants. has shown a remarka BILE
decrease from the horrible figures of an
Client battles and seges, before the dis
coyery of gunpowder and the increasing
perfection of firearms-pa radoxical as 1t
may appear--besan to diminish the butch
cry which invariably attended the en-
counter of armed hosts in olden times.
The explanation is that fighting is now
carried on at such a distance and In sepa-
rate bodies OF infinitely greater maneuver-
ing power that the least tactical advantage
becomes instantly obvious, while the aban-
donment of arrnor and the ponderous wea-
ponS of the melee has endowed bodies of
troops with superior mobility, both in ad-
vance and in retreat. In old days, when
more than eighteen TO twenty score yards.
battle could only be decided by armies
coming to close quarters at an early stage
of the combat.
The consequence was they became so In
tefmingled that they could with difficulty
be separate and. indeed, the victor was
often quite unable to feel assured of sue
nents to slaughter. Moreover. 1t was much
more difficult to make effective use of
cover then than now, and the bowman or
Agincourt was debarred from the use of his
weapon in the prone position adopted by
his successor, the rifieman of today.
The romance of war once associated with
the gallantry of hauberk and helm and the
ing regret at this distance of time. But as
we speak with bated breath in these less
warlike times of the deadliness of scientific
ornaments and warfare, or SILVER at the
reports of terrible losses in the field. 1t
will be well to remember that we are
alarming ourselves quite unnecessarily. and
that our warrior ancestors went into ac-
ton with far greater odds on their becom-
ing dust and their good swords rust than
does the soldier who goes up to battle
against the lead-pumping weapons of to-
day.

Opposed to Amendment.

There are many Independent democrats
in the state who will vote against the
proposed amendment, and when they have
such leaders Gov. Warfeld, Attorney
General Bryan, Eugene O'Dunne, Leigh
Bonsal, Edgar Cans, Archibald Taylor and
States Attorney Albert Sidney Owens l
can hardly see how Senator German will
be able to muster votes enough TO make
any kind of showing
Shortly after the first of next month the
leaders of the anti-Gorman movement
pect to hold a meeting and begin cam
paign work in earnest. Not only will many
speeches be made by the leaders, but in
teresting literature will probably be sent
out to all parts of the state. This ltera-
ture viii give the thinking people an idea
of what they may expect in event of the
machine politicians carrying the amend
ment. The Legislature is TO be elected at
the coming election, and 1t is thought by
some of the independents. the campaign
made on behalf of the supporters of the
amendment may result In losing several
seats in the legislature.
Col. John r. Yellott, Baltimore county's
orator, and a leading democrat, is eX-
pected to do some active work in oppo-
sition TO the amendment. He is a man
whose influence is felt in the city and
other sections of the state as well as in
his horne county. Edgar Cans Is one of
the leading members of the bar of the
state and a man who is looked upon by
the people as having sound Ideas. Others
connected with the movement hold equally
prominent positions in their sections. The
organization within the democratic party
will probably not affiliate with the repubii-
cans, but viii act Independently and there
by accomplish more than would otherwise
be accomplished. 1t is the opinion of the
leaders of this movement that they will
defeat the senator's efforts to make such a
great change In the matter of voting. and
think the majority against the adoption of
the pet scheme TO defeat the will of the
people at the polls will be so great that
the counters at the polls will not be able
to throw out votes enough to make
claim of having been successful.

Situation Demands Astuteness.

Ii the republicans are not very astute
they will permit the democrats to base the
fight of the campaign on purely moral
issue. with democrats on the moral side
OF it.
Though John NJ. Pattison, the democratic
candidate is business man. he is no
stranger to politics. Besides serving his dis
trlct in the state senate, he it's repre-
sentative in Congress for one term He is
a cousin of the late Gov. Robert Pattison
OF .Pennsylvap'a, and his friends predict for
MN that he will make the large republican
plurality in Ohio disappear, did his dis
tinsuished relative in Pennsylvania on sew
eral occasions.
Senator Dick VIII have charge of the re-
publican state campaign again, assisted by
his old secretary. John r. Malloy and
Ireausrer w. r. Burdell, and his long Sc
ries OF successful campaigns infuse conf
dence in the local leaders, but they all adj
init that he has the fight of his life on his
hands now. They would willingly trade
their chances for 100 coo plurality for the
assurance of 25,eOo, or even 10000 G.

BALTIMORE, July 3.-United States
Senator Arthur Pue German will have the
fight of his life this fall when he attempts
the finishing touches to his efforts to get
the voters of the state 10 enact his dis
franchising scheme into law. The oppo-
sition to his efforts will come largely from
influential democrats, many of whom have
been his most ardent. supporters during
many previous campaigns. Many of the
more prominent men who are connected
with the affairs of the city are working
hard to defeat the proposed amendment
and despite the warm weather the work is
going steadily forward. BY the last of this
month, 1t is expected matters will be in
splendid shape and the opposition expects
TO see the voters snow the bill under and
bury 1t so deep that the leader of the
democratic party in the state will remem-
Der 1t merely as a dream. There are SO
many prominent democrats throughout the
state working against Senator Germans
scheme that the result does not seem to be
in doubt Thomas f. McNul;y. one of the
most prominent local politicians and one
of the best known singers in the city,
mas joined the forces and is working hard
to bring about the defeat of the scheme
to disfranchise so many voters
Il cant see how the amendment can
win, he said to Star correspondent. Il
have Travelled about the state with almost
every democratic candidate for governor
during the past twenty-five years more
and have idea of how the people
throughout the state feel upon state ques-
tons. | satisfied that the people of
the state will never vote for any such
amendment and that it will be defeated by
a handsome majority. The idea that the
amendment will disfranchise only the col
ored people is erroneous. for it will affect
a great many whites as well.
There is absolutely nothing in the cry of
negro domination" he SAID las every SEN
sible man knows that while the colored
vote may be a factor in politics. 1t is not
such a factor that the state should adopt
the means proposed to eliminate 1t. In
considering the question the leaders seem
to have lost sight of the fact that the So
called white belt of the state usually turns
in a republican majority and that the
black belt has to be depended upon for
democratic votes
