Hooking the Wary Trout.
Trout when hungry usually face the
current. This faot should be remem¬
bered when approaching a bridge or
eddy where the “speckled beauties love
to hide.” If possible, sush spots should
be approached upstream. It may take
■ little more time to go around and
come back up, but “moke baste slow¬
ly” Is said to be the first axiom of
trout fislilug. As the stream becomes
warmer, the trout seek the cool pools
aud shaded places. They are to be
found where a cold spring bubbles up
lute the stream or where a mountain
creek enters. Often a number frequent
the same haunt. Each additional fish
means two more eyes to watch for the
fisherman. One trout is all that is nec¬
essary io give a 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 Hue. But w

art?—Circle Magazine.
Our Pygmy Ancestors.
The armor of tbc knights of'the mid¬
dle ages is too small for their modern
descendants. Hamilton Smith records
that two Englishmen of average di¬
mensions found ito suit large enough
to Aft eftlier of them In the great col¬
lection of Sir Samuel Meyrick. The
head of the oriental saber will not ad¬
mit the English hand nor the bracelet
of the Kaffir warrior the English arm.
The swords found in Roman tuiuull
have handles Inconveniently small, and
the great mediaeval two handed sword
is now supposed to ltnve been used
only for one or two blows at tbe first
onsoj 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 Irrefutable evi¬
dence of the ancient doorways, bed¬
steads and tombs proves the average
size of the race certainly not to have
diminished hi modern days.—London

Great Musician's Eccentricities.
Dolls were the idols, after his be
loved Instruments, of Domenico Dra
gonetti. the king of the double bass,
He had a huge collection of these pup
pets dressed in various national cos
tumow and wherever Dragonettl went
the dolls were sure to go. That was
only one of this eccentric genius' pecul
larities. He would never play unless
his dog were in the orchestra, ami no
bodv would have got a note out of
him uuless be had been permitted to
alt In the orchestra'next to the stage
door. This was a precaution to enable
hhn to save Ills wonderful instrument
in ease of fire. The instrument Itself
he brought from the monastery of St
Pietro when on a visit to Vinetnza. and
when be died he bequeathed If to St
Mark’s. Venice, to bo used at soleipa
wervices.- - London Stand:’, rd.
