ANTIQUITY OF FLY FISHING
This Style Of Angling as Described by
Writer Of the Third .
Century.

Probably few fishermen are aware
that fy-fshing. dates back to classic
times. A minute description Of the
artificial ny as used by Macedonian
anglers Is given by Aelian. Greek
writer OF the third century A. D.. a.
follows:
Between Bersa and Thessalonica
there flows Q river, Astraeus by name.
and there In It fishes Of spotted eoler.
but BY what name people Of those parts
call them It Is better to esk Macsdoni-
ans. At any rate. these fsh live upon
the native fiies which fall into the
river and are like no flies Of any ether
part. One would neither call them
wasplike IN appearance nor would one
reply to 9 question that this creature
is formed like what we call the humble
bees, nor yet like the honey bees them
selves. Il has really the proper fash
ion Of each Of the above. In audacity
It 10 like Q fly, In size It might be called
humble bee. IN color It rivals the wasp
and It bHzzes like the honey bess. All
common creatures OF this sort are called
horse tails. These pitch upon the
stream to seek the food thsy AFFECT, but
cannot help being seen by the hsh
which swim underneath.
80 whenever one of them sees the
fly floating he comes softly. swimming
under the water, afraid Of disturbing
the surface and 20 soaring away his
game. Then be comes near the shady
side Of the ny, gapes and sucks him In.
just like a wolf snatching q sheep from
fold or an eagle goose from the yard.
This dome he disappears beneath the
ripple. The fishermen understand these
maneuvers. but they do not make any
use Of these fies for bait for the fish,
for II the human hand lays hold OF
them they lose their natural color, their
wings fray and they become uneatable
TO the fsh. So, for this reason they
make no use Of them, disliking them
because their nature forbids their cap
ture.
so, with angling craft they outwit
the fish, deyising q sort Of lure against
them. They lap 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 Ii from six
to ten feet long. and the horsehair line
has the same length. They lower the
lure. The Ash is attracted by tAs colsr.
excited, draws close, and. judging from
Its beautiful appearance that It will OBJ
tain q marvellous banquet. forthwith
opens its mouth, but Is caught by the
hook, and bitter, indeed, Is the feast II
has, inasmuch as II Ia captured"

OBSOLETE GUNS IN STOCK
The United States Has q Big Supply
at Coast Forts That Il
Useless.

"A difficult problem to solve" said
an ordnance oflcer the other day, ac-
oording to the Washington Post, is
the dispos4ng Of the obsolete gina
which are now occupying places at
many OF the Notifications along the
seacoast. At the time these big guns
were made they were OF the latest pat
tern and It was supposed that they
would last for a great many years and
be always formidable to the ships IT
any foe that attempted TO enter our
harbors.
Then there came a period Of In
tense activity In the matter Of build
ing protected cruisers. and II was
found necessary to meet naval develop
ments by improvements in guns. Con-
ssQuentiy the inventive genius Of the
United States and foreign &C untries went
10 work and the result has been the
development Of such guns as to rem
der the old ones absolutely useless for
any purpose whatever. The new guns
are almost mechanically perfect. and
are 30 much superior that It would be
useless TO attempt to do anything In
the way Of using the older pattern
guns.
The result u that the government
has got, at the different forts ai,ag
the coast, Q large number OF these old
guns and It really does not know what
70 do with them. II Is impossible 70
dispose of them In any other way than
TO stack them up outside Of the forts,
or throw them into the seG No for
eign nation would buy them because
they are not worth moving. They can
not be used anywhere Ia the United
States.
As 10 making junk Of theua the cost
Of breaking them up would be more
than the iron Sc worth altar II was
broken. II would be utterly Impossible
to melt them up in their present state.
az pieces Of iroa or steel do not melt
readily when In such immense biockA
These guns might be dumped into the
sea at some convenient point or
stacked Nd In the sand, but In some
way the ordnance bureau must get rid
of them and take thsra out Of the way
of the forts, as they occupy space that
IL wanted for other purposes.

SUGGESTIONS FOR HOUSEWIFE.

Soap shavings or a small lump Of
yellow soap tucked into a mouse hole
prevent the temperance of the
mouse.
A little soap mixed with stove
backing produces a better and more
enduring luster, with less work than
backing without it.
When nails are to be driven into
wood which it is feared they may
split, first lay them in soapy water or
drive into a bar Of soap, and there
is no danger. Carpenters and makers
OF handmade furniture always have a
piece of yellow soap on hand for this
purpose.
In preparing potatoes la julienne,
remember to lay the slender strips
in iced water for at least half an hour
before frying. Drain and dry in soft,
thick cloth and have the fat deep and
boiling hot The potatoes should
brown almost at once, and be white
and mealy inside. They should not be
in the least greasy. but dry enough
to serve on a folded napkin without
soiling it.
Anyone who has tried to arrange
flowers artistically, often finds 1t hard
to make a stiff stem stand up, while
the blossom assumes the desired
place. A piece of coarse wire netting,
OF a piece of discarded wire basket,
such as dishes or salads are drained
in, will answer the purpose, II broken
or cut to At the top Of the bowl or
vase in which flowers are to be put.
This gives support to the stems at
the place where it is needed. Fill the
receptacle with water. and place the
flowers or foliage between the meshes.

Home Health
i Club Il
By DAVID q. REEDER. Ph. D.. me-
Ls Porte, Ind.


If the many letters which l receive
daily are an indication of the interest
in the Home Health club lectures.
then 1t Is plain that the desire for
knowledge upon subjects of health and
disease is great. l find also that many
of my readers desire knowledge OF a
deeper nature than is usually given In
newspaper articles. That Is, they
want the most profound, technical In
formation regarding subjects which
are supposed to interest only learned
college professors and grave medical
societies. / am glad because Of this
awakening of the people and trust tie
interest will continue until prac-
tical working knowledge of home rem
edies and methods of overcoming sick
ness may be common property.

CLuR NOTES.


Laporte, Ind.-Dear Friend: We have
a boy who has been sick for five or six
months. The doctor here calls 1t
Brights disease. He swells up all
over his body, but worse In the lower
part Of the body. would be very
thankful if you could give me some
good method of treatment and the
name of the sickness He is II years
old. Very truly yours, ]. e.
Such a condition as Bright's dis
ease should have very prompt and
careful treatment 1t arises from dis
eased kidneys, making itself manifest
by degrees, the swelling being one of
these. l would first advise a general
constitutional remedy for building up
the glands of his body, and particular
ly the kidneys, gradually restoring
them to proper functional activity, and
a specific form of herb medication
which will act Immediately upon the
parts affected, and arrest the progress
of the disease. For the former l do
not know anything better than the
vegetable remedy which l have often
referred to and given the formula in
these columns compound gentian
syrup. This Is a glandular form Of
treatment, and would permanently
build up his entire system. The specific
treatment should supply to the vast
ing tissues of the kidneys, etc., the
lacking elements necessary to their
restoration. This Is the form Of treat
ment discovered by the old German.
DR.. schuessler, hence the tissue ele-
ments are called after him. They are
usually in tablet form, and would be
very beneficial for your son.
Wisconsin.-Dr. David H. Reeder,
Laporte, Ind.-Dear Doctor: l am
reader Of this paper and would like to
tell you of my trouble, may be you
have q remedy to suggest.
l have pain in my left leg between
the hip and the knee. 1t varies in de
gree, but seems to get worse all the
time. 1t varies in location, but moves
always between these two points. /
have had it since last fall, but for the
first few months was only slightly no.
ticable. The pain seems to be a
drawing together kind, and is always
worse in the morning at getting up, so
bad that l can hardly move about. One
doctor pronounced 1t muscular rheu-
matism and prescribed for 1t, but this
and many other remedies were all Of
no avail. Please tell me what to do.
Yours very truly, S. w.
From the description which you have
given of your condition, AM inclined
to think that you are troubled with
sciatica. Now these pains many come
from rectal trouble, and If you are
troubled with constipation or piles
or any kind of rectal trouble, then 1t
will be necessary for you to overcome
this condition before you will get much
relief. If, however, 1t ia caused by uric
acid, In other words, rheumatism
alone, then l would suggest that you
use the Home Health club method Of
treatment for that condition.
All readers Of this paper are at lib
erty to write for information on sub
jects pertaining to health. All COM
munications should be addressed to
