Ho cast very near where I did, Imt gave the little fel lows no chance. So rapidly was his single fly trolled across tho water that in a few minutes he had col lected the whole school away from the spot where ho expected to find a big trout. His fly was so largo that I laughed when ho mounted it, tell ing lihn ho would find salmon a few hundred miles farther north in Can ada, hut rather scarce in York Btato. But my hunter was unheeded. Fred knew those waters hotter than I'dld the Pennsylvania streams, where many years ago I learned to cast a fly, and where such a fly as he used would bo considered a bad want of judgment. A dozen times be swiftly trailed his fly across tho water, getting arise at every cast, hut not lotting thorn have it. Twenty feet away to the right he seemed to have drawn all the small trout in thut hole. Then, lengthening his line, he cast again, and slowly drew his fly with a quiv ering, snakelike motion. There was a rise of a magnificent fish, but Fred struck too quickly and missed him, though I thought the fish felt tho steel. "Wait a moment, Fred," said I. "Change your fly and you will got that big fellow.” "Notabltof it," yelled John. "Lot him huve it now quick I" Fred’s fly struck the water before John had done speaking, and had not trailed throe feet when the trou t took it, showing his head and shoulders out of the water and making the sur face boil with the sweep of his brood tail. As hiB capacious mouth closed on tho fly Fred Btruck so sharply that the leader Bounded like the twang of a violin String struck pizzicato. “You’ve got him, Fred," yelled John. “Keep him away from tl hushes. I’ll paddle you out and give you plenty of room to play him,"— American Augler. m —’ * II THE SEASON OF 1892. CALENDAR. JULY l—Opening of the Season.

How many of my young country men who lmvo mul of the "prayer wheels” of Burmah and the pnper prayers of tho Chinese know that there is a mechanical prayer used by thousands of people In the United States? Tho Puoblo "prayer stick” is quite us curious u dovioo as those of tho heathen orient, and tho fonthor is tho chief port of it. Prowling in sheltered ravines nbout any Pueblo town, tho curiosity seeker will find stuck in tho ground care fully whittled sticks, each with a tuft of downy feathers (generally whito) bound at tho top. Each of those sticks is a prayer, and none the loss earnest and sincere beenuso so misguided. Around the remote pueblo of ZUui I liavo count ed ovor 3,000 of these strange invoca tions in one day's ramble; but nover a tithe as many by any other puoblo. According to the nature of tho prayer, tho stick, tho fouthors and tho mnuner of tying them vary. Tho Indian who has a favor to ask of tho Tines prepares liis feather prayer with great solemnity and se crecy, takes it to a propor spot, pruys to all those abovo and plants the prayer stick that it may continuo his petition after ho lins gone homo.—C.

If you wish to tnko tho conceit out of a peacocjf pull out his tail feathers, and os soon os he flndB tho glory of his plumage gone ho becomes the humblest, most subdued aud ashamed looking bird that ever walked tho earth. A peacock in full feathor is bo vain and conceited as sometimes to he really troublesome. Not satis fied with squalling at the top of his discordant voieo, and with parading himself through tho yard aud up and down the walks with expanded plumngo, he will attack cats, dogs and even children, and has been known to sorionsly injuro small hoys or girls that were incautious enough to venture within his roach. Plucking his tail feathers, how ever, causes all his eourago to evapo rate. Ho will sneak around the yard like a whipped spaniel, will keop out of sight ns much ns possible, and you will hear nothing of him until his plumage hns again grown.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
