Arguments ON food are interesting.
MANY persons adopt vegetarian dies

On the other hand, too great con-
sumption of partly cooked, starcny
oats and wheat or white bread, pastry,

Speaking of the government OF the

ANTIQUITY OF FISHING.
The Art Of Angling Il as Old a. the
Human Race.

The Art Of Angling Is M Old a. the
Human Race.
The art Of angling no doubt had its
origin in mans necessities. The earli-
est record Of mankind makes reference
to the taking of fish for food. There
are frequent illusions to it In the Bible
Job, In the oldest book of all, says:
"Canst thou draw out leviathan with
a hook or his tongue with cord which
thou lettest down? Canst thou put
hook In bis nose?" Homer, in the
''Iliad," speaks Of fishing In these lines:
AZ bearing death in the fallacious bait.
Prom the beat angle sinks the leaden
weight.
And It - recorded in the odyssey"
~ when the angler. his long rod in hand
On q projecting rock assumes his stand,
Casts - the fiery fry the baited snare.
Then dinss the wrsgiing captives in the
a4y.
Tho Romans, Greeks and other races
Of early days around the Mediterranean
practiced the art Of angling. Plutarch
tells Of q prank played by the fair
Egyptian. Cleopatra. while out fishing
with Antony. They wagered on their
angling, and her divers did hang a
salt fish ON his hook, which he with
fervor drew up"
The ruined walls Of Herculaneum
and Pompeii abound in frescoes Of
fishermen. All along the track of his
tory are found traces of this gentle
recreation, showing the gradual i'm
provement from the hook of bone and
rude equipment Of the cave man to the
elegant accessories and belongings Of
the modern angler.
