HOOKING ,ha wnrx Trout.

Trout when hungry usually face the
current This fact should be remem-
bered when approaching a bridge or
eddy where the "speckled beauties love
to hide" If possible, such spots should
be approached upstream. II may take
little more time to go around and
come back up, but make haste slow
ly" is said to be the first axiom of
trout fishing. AS the stream becomes
warmer, the trout seek the cool pools
and shaded places. They are to be
found where cold spring bubbles up
into the stream or where mountain
creek enters. Often number frequent
the same haunt. Each additional fish
means two more eyes to watch for the
fisherman. One trout ia all that is nee
essary to give danger signal by
darting away. The rest Immediately
follow suit. To catch more than one,
or even that. in such a place takes
skill in the use OF the line. But who
has said that trout fishing Is not an
art2-Circle Magazine.

The armor of the knights of the mid
die ages is too small for their modern
descendants. Hamilton Smith records
that two Englishmen of average di-
mensions found no suit large enough
to fit either of them in the great col.
lection of Sir Samuel Meyrick. Tho
head Of the oriental saber will not ad.
init the English hand nor the bracelet
Of the Kafir warrior the English arm.
The swords found in Roman tumuli
have handles lnconveniently small, and
the great medieval two handed sword
is now supposed to have been used
only for one or two blows at the first
onset and then exchanged for a small
er one. The statements made by Ho-
mer. Aristotle and Vitruvius represent
six feet as a high standard for full
grown men. and the lrrefutable evil
dence of the ancient doorways, bed
stesds and tombs proves the average
size of the race certainly not to have
diminished in modern days.-London

A Queer Coincidence.

While serial story was running in
a certain magazine lady In Johannes
burg wrote to the publisher asking
whether Christian Lys (the authors
nom de plume) was assumed or not.
She herself was a Mrs. Lys. who was
trying to trace an ancestor Of her late
husband, who was a descendant of
Joan Of Arc. Mr. Brebner. the author
in question, wrote assuring her that
his pen name was family one, his
forbears having come from Aberdeen.
Strangely enough. It came out that her
family came also from Aberdeen and
their name was Brebner.-PaII Mall

1t is one thing to have a chair and
another to know how to sit on It. The
ideal of graceful sitting posture has
varied In the different ages Of the
world. The Egyptians sat bolt upright,
the knees and feet closely pressed to
gether. 1t was the ceremonial attitude.
The Greeks and Romans, when they
seats had no backs and they were az
liberty to forget their dignity, sat
STOPPING, with one or both elbows sup
ported by the arms. The Chinese ideal
was the knees and feet wide apart.
They have maintained that attitude in
sitting for 1000 years. The sazons and
early Norman kings are represented in
old manuscripts and on coins In the
same position. Down to date COM

Muddy Water Has Spoiled
The Fishing.
Fishermen are telling hard luck
stories. Many had anticipated
great sport this month pursuing
the inny denizens of the rivers, but
the rains have made the streams all
so muddy that there is nothing dc.
ing in the fishing line. There have
been times during the PTS, few
days during which it seemed that
the rain would cease for a few
days and allow the streams to clear
up, but just ss soon as they began
to clear little more rains would
spoil all thoughts of casting liue
for fish. Last year, it will be re.
membered, the fishing was poor in
July and in August on account Of
the intermittent rains and fisher
men fear the same trouble will be
experienced this year F shing in
the mountain streams of this state
was spoiled last year because of
the rains and lots of sport would
bespoiIed this year if there should
be recurrence of the trouble.
