The Fly Casting rreten...

While our knowledge of these things
does not exact from us an Independent
protest against constantly repeated
praise of the qualities Of trout and of
fly casting as means of taking them,
1t perhaps adds to the spirit and en-
phasis of our dissent when we are told
that fly casting for trout is the only
style of fishing worthy of cultivation
and that no other method ought to be
undertaken by true fisherman. This
is one of the deplorable fishing affecta-
tions and pretenses which the sensible
rank and file Of the fraternity ought
openly to expose and repudiate. Our
irritation is greatly increased when we
recall the fact that every one Of these
superrefined fly casting dictators when
he fails to allure trout by his most
scientific casts will chase grasshoppers
to the point of profuse perspration and
turn over logs and stones with fever
ish anxiety in quest of worms and
grubs. If haply he can with these save
himself from empty handedness. Nei-
ther his fine theories nor his exclusive
faith in fly casting so develops his self
denying heroism that he will turn his
back upon fat and lazy trout that will
not rise. = From Grover Cleveland's

rh. French v,ew OF M.rr,nxe.

The French. guided by reason, as
they say, regard the Institution of
matrimony as rational regulation of
the fact of sex, as a compromise be
tween the rights of the Individual and
the rights of society. The man obeys,
but under protest. He is willing to
sacrifice his liberty SO far, but beyond
that point he regards self abnegation
as fanatical asceticism. Marriage un-
der French usage is partnership in
which such matters as character, tastes,
education, birth and property are to
be considered. Contracting families
scrutinize the proposed bride and
groom as if coming up for admittance
into club. They look at our custom
of marrying for love with amazement,
as we should look at grocer's cart
that started on its rounds at thirty
miles an hour. Our system confines
its view to the romantic dreams of
youth and regards matrimony rather
as holiday cruise than voyage for
life. We may err in our endeavor to
regard men and women as disembod-
led spirits, and yet we cannot but
think that the French err in their reso-
luton to be sensible and regard men
and women as animals taken in the
tolls of society. Our theory may look
too far into the future; theirs fingers
too far in the brutal past.-H. d. Sedg.

COngrntulntfnR RisInurcL

When Prince Bismarck was eighty
years old he received an immense num-
Der of congratulatory birthday mes
sages by wire and post. The staff of
the tiny postotfice at Friedrichsruh
was raised to thirty officials for the
birthday week, while the telegraphers
had at their disposal five direct wires
to Hamburg and four to Berlin. From
March 25 to April the number of tel
egranls received gradually rose from
102 to 4,122, with 12s,266 words. Dur
ing the whole period close upon 12,OOO
kilograms, aggregating nearly half a
million words, were received and for
warded. In the same period there ar
rived 979 ordinary parcels, 225 regis
tered parcels, 995 registered letters and
about 100000 ordinary letters and book
post consignments. The only kilograms
to which immediate answer was neces-
sary were those from royalties. The
only other so honored was one from
school children In England.

The Awe Insl

The Awe Inspiring "Costume Play"
One. very common notion seems to
possess playgoers on both sides Of the
Atlantic. 1t Is the notion that a cos
tune play, a play whose scenes are
laid anywhere and any time between
the birth Of Christ and 1910, does by
that very fact acquire q literary merit,
a literary distinction and profound sig
nificance which rank it immeasurab bly,
above the mere prose play Of modern
everyday life. 1t matters not whether
the personages of the costume play
talk blank verse or a patchwork die
ton compounded from every literary
and conversational style from Chaucer
to Whitechapel costermonger, to the
great majority of playgoers the Co.'S
tune play brings that elevation Of
mind and feeling, that vague but. graft
flying sense Of superiority, which was
felt by the bourgeois gentilhomme
when he discovered that, without tax
ing the least pains, he was a person Of
very considerable literary attainments.
This feeling of awe in the presence Of
costume play has persisted so long as
I can remember. Henry Arthur Jones

Az to Ink.

All the world uses ink. Most Of it is
very bad, but once in a great while we
find an "encre" that we can write
with. Nearly every ink corrodes the
pen, and nearly every pen poisons and
dries up the ink. There never was a
properly constructed inkstand or ink
well. But we must have patience. All
good things come to the fellow who
waits and prays. The word link" pre-
sents in its formation not only his
torical memento of the original in
ventors and almost sole users Of that
fluid. but also another vivid example
Of the abbreviating power of our Ian
guage. Its Italian cognomen, ''lnchios-
tro," means literally "in a clolster' and
recalls to memory the deep obligations
which literature owes to those ecclesi-
astical retreats IN which its vestal
fires were so long piously guarded
