THE GROWTH OF TROUT.

Age, Food and Temperature Seem to
Have No Bearing ON Size.
The Salvelinus fontinalis, which is
currently but inaccurately called brook
trout, was supposed for many years to
be small fish. Agassiz was largely
instrumental in exploding this fallacy.
It Is not an uncommon thing for an
angler with ordinary luck to get a six
or seven pound trout Of this variety,
It is known that a trout may grow to
weigh eleven or twelve pounds. There
is, however, great difficulty in account
ing for it's variation in size. E
In northeastern Canada there are
large streams and lakes in which only
tingerlings have ever been found. IN
the immediate vicinity Of such water
three and four pound trout are quite
common, and seven and eight Founders
are not phenomenal. In all these wa
ters crustacea do not abound; there are
no small fish of any kind except small
trout. All the fish are pure fly feeders.
At some places, it is true, frogs abound
but, taken as. a whole, the difference In
food supply is, not an adequate expla-
nation for the difference in growth.
There is no substantial difference in
the waters as to temp size, orr
gin and course Climatic conditions
are the same. The small trout taken to
virgin lakes in which there are no fish
have sometimes grown to great size,
have sometimes remained small and
sometimes have not thriven The an
glers who haunt these waters have not
vet found a satisfactory explanation
Of this peculiar condition of things. 1t
IS one Of the mysteries which lend
fascination to the art. You never can
tell what is going to happen when you
go fishing. st. Paul Dispatch.

this matchless gem is by an eastern
monarch, who refers to a Jewel valued
at one-half the daily expenses Of the

the Persian conqueror Of India, seeing
the diamond glitter in the turban Of

DINING TABLES.

The Transition From the Festive.
Board of Primitive Man.
The first dining table was probably
just a block of stone or a log Of wood.
but even primitive man must soon
have discovered that these devices did
not provide for the comfortable dis,
posal Of his legs and have set about
taxing all his ingenuity to invent some
thing else. It is probable that as the
result of his cogitations rough hewn
piece Of board supported on two big
stones came into fashion among the
elite in these far prehistoric times.
The early trestle table which was
used in the beginning of the fifteenth
century consisted Of a parallelogram Of
wood fashioned Into a board, resting
upon two 9or more pedestalslike sup
ports. And we have a "Reminiscences Of

Country Libraries.

The usefulness Of urban libraries has
been proved up to the hilt, but the
question arises why similar advantages
cannot be supplied in rural districts.
As q matter Of fact they are more
needed In the country than in the
towns. The dizziness Of country life is
constantly bewailed, and it can be
readily believed that a young agricul-
turai laborer or young woman
brought up In the country would be
very glad to have the chance Of the
wide choice of books which their cous-
ms In town enjoy. Bristol Press.
