Hooking the Wary Trout. ,
Trout when hungry usually face
current. This fact should be
bered when approaching' a bridge
eddy where the “speckledtbeautles

be approached upstream. It may

come back up, but “make haste

trout fishing. As the stream
warmer, the trout seek the cool
and shaded places. They are to
found where a cold spring bubbles
Into the stream or where a
creek enters. Often a^uumber

essary to give a danger signal

follow suit. To catch more than one

Great Musician’s Eccentricities.
Dolls were the idols, after his be¬
loved Instruments, of Domenico Dra
gonettl, the king of the double bass.
He bad a huge collection of these pup¬
pets dressed in various national cos¬
tumes, and wherever Dragonetti went
the dolls were sure to go. That was
only one of this eccentric genius’ pecul¬
iarities. He -would never play unless
his dog were in the orchestra, and no¬
body would have- got a note out of
him unless he had been permitted to
sit in the orchestra next to the stage
door. This was a precaution to enable
him to save his wonderful Instrument
In case of fire. The instrument itself
he brought from the monastery of. St
Pietro when on a visit to Vincenza, and
when he (tied he bequeathed It to St
Mark’s. Venice, to be used at solemn
services.—London Standard.
Rickshaws and Dandies.
In the mountain districts of India
the principal vehicles of passenger
conveyance are the rickshaw and the
dandy, with which Rudyanl Kipling
has made us familiar. The rickshaw
is pushed and pulled through the.
streets and on the roads leading out
Into the country by four coolies, and
the dandy is carried on the shoul¬
ders of four and sometimes six coolies.
Saddle ponies are also used to some ex¬
tent, but most of the inhabitants and
quite all visitors use the rickshaw and
dandy. The latter is constructed on
the plan of a sleigh box, but longer. A
pole is attached fore and aft. which is
long enough to give a springy motion
when the eodlies are walking and trot¬
ting. A crosspiece rests on the shoul¬
ders of the coolies and is shifted now
and then from cue shoulder to the oth¬
er for rest. By the command of the
cooly in charge this shift is made si¬
multaneously.
Castle Gr.rden.
Castle Garden was built by the Unit- :
od States in 1S07 from tiie plans of
Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan 'Williams,
C. E., and was called Fort Clinton. In
1S22 it was ceded to New York’ city. In
1824 it became a place of amusement
ami about 1S26 got the name of Cftstle
Garden. In 18 7.7 there were Ethiopian J
minstrels there, in 1847-49 theatrical i
companies played there, and In 1S50 j
.Tenny land sang there. In 18.".“ it was
closed as a place of amusement, and '
the commissioners of immigration took j
It as an immigrant depot. In 1870 it i
suffered from fife, and on July 1870, j
it Was burned to the mound. It was i
rebuilt at once. In 18!) he depot was
moved to Ellis island, and Castle Gar- i
ilm rove i-ted to the city. which in 1890
