 The suspense finished growing breathless.

TROUT WELL FED.
High Water Has Supplied Them With
 Plenty to Eat.

The story related by one local man who tried his luck at fishing for trout, says the Danbuury News, may Tn measure explain why there are no large catches of the speckled beauties. This fisherman states that after fishing all day without having even single nip ble to repay him for his trouble, he came upon a large hole" in the brook into which swift little current ran, making an eddy on the surface. lie cra.wled carefully along the bank and peeped over and saw five large trout, headed up stream. their sides glisten- ing in the rays of the sun.
 He baited his hook with the most toothsome worm in his collection and allowed 1t to float down with the cur rent into the hole" He held the bait temptingly before the trout but they paid no attention to it. After trying his for some time he gave up in de spair and came home with an empty basket.
 A member of the Pahquique Gun club who has made a study of trout angling in these parts, reports that the circumstance just told of is due to the fact that the heavy rains have raised the brooks and washed the banks, and in this way have furnished more than enough food for the inhabitants of the brooks. He quotes his own experlence of a few days ago. When he was talk ing the hook from the mouth of a large trout he had just taken from a brook he was surprised to find the fish so Eorged with worms that they could be seen lodged in it's throat. He exam ined others of his catch, Nnd found each to be lined inside with the fat test of fat worms.
 T was surprised" he said, that these fish, so well fed, should have been tempted by the worms on my hook, as they had all found ample food in the brooks. Until this state of high streams is changed and the water low CTS enough to make it impossible tc wash food from the banks there will be few large catches recorded. At least that is my opinion"

HOW BEETHOVEN BECAME DEAF,
Injured in Excess of Anger Caused by
 Importunate Tenor.

Beethoven gave the following ac- count of how he became deaf to Charles Neate:
 T had to deal with tiresome and capricious tenor. I had already, writ ten two great arias to the same words, neither of which pleased him, and also a third. which he did not care for the first time he tried it. but which he took away with him. was thanking heaven that I was rid of him and had settled down to something else when in less than an hour recognized his knock at the door.
 'T sprang up from my table in such a rage that as the man came in at the door I flung myself on the floor as they do on the stage I fell on my hands, and when I got up found l was deaf. The doctor said l had in- jured the nerves"

YOUNGSTERS TAUGHT TO SMOKE.
Two Centuries Ago English Children
 Carried Pipes to School.

The practice of juvenile smoking in this country in the seventeenth cen tury was practically universal. says the London Chronicle. JoreVin de Rochefort, a French traveller of that period, in an account published in 1871 gives a description of an evening he spent in Worcester. He was catechised by one of the townsmen as to the hab- its of the French people. While we were talking about the town" he writes, "he asked me if it was the custom in France, as in England, that when the children went to school they carried in their satchels with their books a pipe of tobacco which their mother took care to fill early in the morning. it serving them instead of breakfast, and that at the accustomed hour every one laid aside his book to light his pipe, the master smoking with them and teaching them how to hold their pipes and draw their to- bacco, thus accustoming them to 1t from their youths, believing it abso- lutely necessary for mans health

Question of Precedence.

Recently a dispute was raised as to whether certain lawyer or a certain doctor was to have precedence at function at which both were to play prominent parts. It was impolitic to allow either of these two men to be offended While the discussion was under way as to which was to be seated next the speaker, an old poh- tician in the room, said the discussion was one which he thought he could settle by giving them the words of the great Diogenes who had said upon an ancient occasion: Let the thief go before; let the executioner follow aft CT" The politician said he thought that mean the lawyer should have first place and the doctor come next.

The Old EnaIIsh aTumbIer."

The old-fashioned English tumbler, which insisted on reverting to an erect position, no matter how frequently 1t was knocked over. possessed merits. This was the original form of drinking the name. They were made Of thin horn and weighted with a bulbous mass at the bottom. The idea of their use was double one. The old drinking custom required that the ale should be drunk at a draft for its presence in the tumbler would cause it to overbalance and spill it's contents-and there was the advan- tage possessed by the tumbler of not rolling out of reach when knocked about during orgies.
