METHODS OF CATCHING FISH.
Hook and Line Shown to Be by No
Means the Only Way to Capture
the Finny Tribe.
The open season was at hand, and
the anglers got their tackle ready
eagerly.
' Speaking of tackle,” mud the trav
eler, “I have fished with ducks, ham
mers, dogs."
"Truly'?” they exclaimed.
In certain parts of Virginia,” he re
plied. “auck fishing still goes on. It
is an antique sport for gentle
men. You fasten baited linos
to ducks' legs and swim them
in a well-stocked pond, following in
a boat to see the fun. Many a good,
stiff fight I’ve watched between a duck
and an old pike. The duck always
wins. She drags her catch on to the
bank and eats it if you are not too
quick lor her.
“They fish with hammers in the
mountain streams of Montenegro.
There's a kind of trout that lurks un
der stones. You biff a likely stone,
turn it over, and the chances are you
take up a couple of Montenegrin trout.
“It's op the coast of Brittany, out
Mont St. Michel way, that they fish
with dogs. In those gray, shining
sands of Brittany the Conger eels
love to burrow, and dogs are trained
to nose them out the same as pigs are
trained to nose out truffles. It's not
bad sport. On a good day your dog
will turn' up 15 long, fat eels for you.
You must catch the wriggling rascals
quickly, of they'll be under the sand
again before you can say Jack Rob
inson.”
AFRICAN NATIVES ARE NOISY.
Laughter Is Seldom Heard in the Up
roar—Sounds of Tomtoms and
Big Shells.
Among Hie African natives there
can be nothing done without noise, ac
cording to William B. Clarke of Pitts
burg, Pa., who has traveled extensive
ly in Africa.
“It is simply appalling, the rush, the
roar, the chatter and the bustle, like
Bedlam let loose," Mr. Clarke said.
“The principal object of conversation
Is said to be money, and the hubbub,
.bawling and uproar in all sorts of
tones from shrill and screaming to
gruff and growling, accompanied by all
sorts of gesticulations with tongue,
head and l'eet are beyond description.
“It is rather odd, but laughter is al
most never heard in tills uproar; and
as for whistling, it is a lost art. If
there are any quarrels they are not
to be heard in public, although when a
company of natives gets to carrying on
an animated conversation it appears
to the observer as if the next act
would be a melee.
“In addition to these natural sounds
there afe others of an artificial char
acter that are equally familiar to the
traveler. Such is the noise of the
drums called tomtoms, which are
beaten pn every occasion, and a kind
of pipe about 18 inches long, with
holes liji;e those of a flute, and breathed
through In a way that produces a va
riety oi| notes of a wild, discordant
character A frightful noise is made
by the kaffa men blowing on a big
shell."

i Fly Matter.
Geneital attention is now being di
• rected against the house fly. The fly
is not now considered an ordinary and
inevitable nuisance, as it once was, but
is known to be a menace. The fly
breeds in tilth and revels in it, and,
with his feet stuck full of refuse,
tracks it in the food that people eat.
In this way it spreads disease germs.
It is not a great task to guard against
the invasion of the house, and espe
cially at, the kitchen, by flies. Scru
pulous housekeepers did it long before
the dangerous nature of the fly was
suspect.efl. The means that will pro
tect a Rian’s house from the mosquito
will keep out the fly. Use screens.
There are many devices for destroying
flies shpuld they gain entrance to the
bouse.—Washington Star.
The Inquisitive Worms.
"f am' voinc for worms,” the fisher
man said, "but 1 need no spade. This
bottle of soapsuds takes its place.”
Reselling the hollow, ho showered the
suds upon the ground, moistening a
circle five yards in diameter. Then he
sat down on a log and filled his
pipe. “They’ll be up in a minute or
so,” he said.
Sure enough, by twos and threes the
small black worms poked their tiny
heads out of the soil and looked In
quisitively about. The fisherman gath
ered them into a bait can.
“It’s their curiosity brings them up,”
he said. “Woodpeckers, knowing this,
bring them up by stamping on the
soil.!4
