Kind Words.

AS the breath OF the dew on the ten
der plant. they gently fall upon the
dropping heart, refreshing its wlthered
tcndrlls and soothing Its burning woes
Bright ouscs they are in lles great
desert. Who can estimate the pangs
they have allevlated or the good works
they have accomplished? Long after
they nre uttered do they reverberate
In the souls inner chambers and sing
low, sweet, liquid strains Tint quell NIL
the raging storms that may have be-
fore existed. And. Oh, when the heart
IL sad and, like IL broken harp. the
sweetest choi1s of pleasure cease 10
yibrate, who can tell the power of one
kind word? one little word of tender
ness gushing In upon the soul Will
sweep the long neglected chords and
awaken the most pleasant strains.
Kind words are Ike Jewels In the
heart, never to be forgotten. but per
haps to cheer up their memory II long,
sad life, while words of cruelty are
like darts In the bosom, wounding and
leaving sears that Will be borne to the
grave by their victims. Saturday

ORIGIN or FLY FISHING.
Dates Back to Classic Times, o.
shown I'm Greek writing.

Dates Back to Classic Times, a.
shown I'm Greek Writing.
Probably few fishermen are aware
that fly fishing dates back to classic
times, says Forest and Stream. A
minute description of the artificial fly
as used by Macedonian anglers Is. Civ
en- by Aelian, Greek writer OF the
third century A. D., as follows:
Between Berea and Thessalonica
there flows river, Astraeus by name,
and there In 1t fishes Of spotted col
or, but by what name the people of
those parts call them 1t Is better to
ask Macedonians AT any rate, these
fish live upon the native flies, which
fail 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 bumblebees nor yet like the honey
bees themselves. 1t has really the
proper fashion of each OF the above.
In audacity 1t Is like hy, In size 1t
might be called bumblebee, In color
1t rivals the wasp. and It buzzes like
the hoHeybees. 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 flsh, which swim
underneath.
$50 whenever one of them sees the
ny floating he comes softly, swimming
under the water, fearful OF disturbing
the surface and so soaring away his
game. Then he comes near the shady
side of the fly, gapes and sucks him
In. just like wolf snatching sheep
from the fold or an eagle goose from
the yard. This done, he disappears
beneath the ripple. The fishermen I'M
derstand these maneuvers. but they do
not make any use OF these flies for
bait for the fish, for lie the human hand
lays hold Of them they lose their nat
ural color, their wings fray, and they
become UNBEATABLE to the fish. So for
this reason they make no use of them,
disliking them because their nature
forblds their capture. So with an
Cling craft they outwit the fish, devils
Ing sort OF lure against them. They
