Husbandsl Tributes 10 Wlves.

Few tributes of husbands have been
more beautiful than Steele's dedica.
tion OF one of his books How often
has your tenderness removed pain
from my sick head, how often anguish
from my affected heart? If there are
such things as guardian angels, they
are thus employed. l cannot believe
one of them TO be more good in inclina-
ton or more charming in form, than
my wife" BY its side, however, we
may place Disraeli's dedication of
"Sybil;' Il would inscribe this work
to one whose noble spirit and gentle
nature ever prompt her to sympa-
thize with the suffering; TO one whose
sweet voice has often encouraged, and
whose taste and judgment have ever
guided its pages-the most severe Of
critics but a perfect wife"

Learning to Fish.

A middle-aged man created a sensa.
ton the other day at a kite-fying con-
test by appearing with a rod and reel.
His kite, attached to a fishing line.
shot heavenward in beautiful style
something really Eddyesque. When it
got up about 800 feet the man passed
the tackle over to his little son, say
ing: There you are, Chester; you've
got a twenty-pOund fish in the sky;
play him for all he's worth" 1t was
a pleasure to watch the boy. He would
reel her out" and reel her in" Every
other youngster on the field was filled
with envy. We old fellows know that
a kite will bite and tug and dart and
dive just like fish; and here is a boy
learning the art of angling on dry
land, far from boats and dangerous
storms. Splendid sport Cheap and
manly And it makes good fishermen.
