ME WING -HAM TIMES. JANUARY 11,1895.
Vresenee of „Kind.
Children should be frequently
talked to about the value of self.
Control in time of danger. Teach
them to not let their thoughts fly
away in fear, but to stop stilt and
think hard ; that is to have the mind
present—"presence of mind," as it
is called. But, more than this, in-
struet them, as far as possible, what
to do in eases .of fire, of drowning, of
a bleeding artery, of a runaway, of
a °rush, ete. A young person, for
instance, who ean coolly take time to
wet a cloth at the basin, and hold it
before the face and crawl along the
floor where there is air At to breathe,
has a better chance to get safely out
of a burning house fillled with stifl-
ing smoke than one whose attention
has not been drawn to the fact that,
since the hot air and smoke fly up-
ward, the best chance of breathing
will be near the floor; and also that
breathing through the wet cloth will
save the lungs from being scorched
by the hot draughts of air. They
should be taught the principle of
quickly smothering a small -fire ; of
catching a blanket or rug to throw
around out before attempting to
escape. Again, one should give in-
structions in case of the house burn-
ing as to which things are, if possible
to be rescued first—such as import.
ant papers, jewellery, portraits, or
family plate. How many accidents
there are resulting in the .loss of life
and property which, might have been
averted by having warned or talk-
ed to 'children nd young people
about the probability of such acci-
dents, showing thOm, as nearly as
possible, what sho4ld be done, and,
above all, impressiii,g them with the
need of keeping Oa 1, and thinking

A FIGUTING GAME FISH
WHERE THE, MVSKALI-ONGE 1.1,IRKR
AND HOW TO FIND HIM.
Trishing With Minnow and. Spoon Among
the Thousand. Islands—Stant Tackle
Needett—Tlxe Rxeiting Short and, Row It
Xs Selentlacceity Conducted,
The lakes and streams of Canada are the
natural homes of a ravenous, lighting game
fish which is almost exclusively our own,
Seldom elsewhere do we hear of anglers
taking the muskallonge. He is a big, Mot-
tled, shy, eharkish fellow, wide of jaw,
deep ot throat, and strong of An, In
brief, lie may be said to be a giant species
of pielceeel, differing nudely from the or.
dinary type of that fish in being proper-
tionally deeper or wider from back to belly
and in growing to far greater Bids.
One of the loveliest spots where you will
always find him lying iu his rook-pavecl
lairs or pursuing the terrified minnows 111
the shallows is the Thousand Islands in the
St. Lawrence.
Thereat° days when the fierce black bass,
the most erratic of fish, will not rise to any
hire. and then the most eager lover of bass
fishing will try for innekallenge.
The outfit required is not high -Priced
nor very elaborate, What is called the
"St. Lawrence trolling rod" is the favorite
rod of this region, and is it stiff, well hung,
split bamboo of from eleven to twelve feet
in length, light but very sturdy and fell of
"backbone." It is fitted with large raised
guides, and a reel seat above the hand, not
below as used in fly Lilting. Perhaps not
until you have tried and failed to keep a
maddened muskallonge from fouling the
anchor rope or tearing the line or the bot-
tom of your skiff will you realize why so
long and so stiff a rod is in vogue. Fifteen
dollars will procure you a sound, well -
made rod of this kind, one that with care,
revaruishing each season, and oiling in
damp weather, will endure several years.
As with all tackle, the best is cheapest in
long bard use.
Any good. make of reel will answer, pro-
vided it runs freely, multiply and have a
heavy drag and stop attiteinnent it will
be large enough if it bold fifty yards of
double "D" braided silk line. This is the
proper length and size of am, and it is
now very cheap, something like four cents
a yard. This is a very stout line, and, of
course, would bo useless for fly cueting,
but is none too solid to resist the midden
onslaught of a hungry " 'lenge."
Much of the this you will find trolling
with artificial spoon bait the easiest and
prettiest sport, but for variety yon will
try bait casting, bait trolling, and skitter-
ing. For these latter methods you will
need hooks, and let it be added just here
that they must be big, long, heavy hooks.
Any of the Sproat or Kirby shapes would
be good enough were it not for the sbark-
like teeth and horny jaws of the "lone"
which would part line or leader above the
hook quicker than a flash. Use only the
long-shaulted shapes such as Limerick or
Aberdeen; and have them snelled on thick
wire gimp, two feet long. Above this
hang a four -strand, twisted leader of
polished gut. The hooks must not be
smaller than No, 6-0.
On a day's fishing you will carry live
.bait as well as a stook of trolling spoons.
The St. Lawrence skiff, the only craft
used in the Thousand Islands. excepting
au occasional canoe, is an ideal little ves-
sel. She has lightness, speed, room, and.
stanchness. Let us suppose yon push off
from shore, say at Cape St. Vincent, in
the early mists of a morniug. Yon are
fishing alone, being athletic enough to pro-
pel your light skiff at the slow rate requir-
ed, and not desirous of being •in bondage
all day to a profane guide. Your rod put
together, and equipped with line and two
hooks hung close together, liesbeside you.
On the other side is the shining steel gaff,
keen and broad of bend, a deadly and iu.
dispensable weapon. The bait can and
tackle case lies before you, and all around
and under you ourthe blue waters of the
St. Lawrence. So (dear, HO absolutely un-
defiled is ;he water, that in a rustling
rapid of ten feet depth the pebbles and
weeds on the t.ottom are distinctly visible.
This fact is a warning to be re-
garded, for the muskallonge has eyes.
Slowly you move along, letting the
stream carry you for the most part, but
working over toward a low, rooky island.
As yon near the shore you look down and
seem to be floating, as it were, in midair
over a meadow of long waving brown and
yellow grass. That (Airling growth that
twines and twists and Tooke so near is two
full fathoms down, This is the shadowed
lurking place, the nquatic jungle where
the tiger of the river Iles in wait.
Now a long, slender streak of gray darts
from A bunch of weed and is gope. That
spectre was " lenge.
With eager hand you catch a minnow of
five inches in length and. lightly hook him
through the upper hp just back of Lite
dorsal fin. Gently you pull off a couple
of rods' length of line, and with the right
tumid toss the bait to the line's length
toward the shore. It settles down, drift
• ing with the current, and you pay out
•
yard after yard of the line until the min-
: now is 50 feet down stream. Raising the
rod a sudden resistance is felt; you draw
tighter, the pull increases, and with a firm
hand yon drive home the barb. Now you
reel in, and nothing gives but the quiver-
ing rod. Slowly your skiff floats over the
monster that holds the bait, and you find
only a tall, big.leaved pickerel weed has
caught the hook. Sometimes you lose the
hook; but oftener it pulls loose, and you
try again, now keepleg better control of
• your line and bait.
All at once comes a rush and a tighten-
ing of the line. Twenty feet was torn
' from the reel; and now the line lies still.
Only a moment i8 the reel dtitnb while the
big fish is gorging the bait, and then it
screams as . he darts away through the
weds.
Calmly you press the knob that puts the
solid 10 -pound pull that is never relaxed,

The Duke's Gevenge.
There is a good story told of he Duke of
Northumberlaud, who, in spite of his vast
wealth, is vary unaffected and simple in
his life. Whenever he travels on .a railway
he usually takes a third class ticket, to ru"e
indignation of the railway officials. Upon
a day they determined to bre Lk him off this
frugal habit, aud they filled his compart-
ment with chimney sweeps carrying bags
of soot. When the duke arrived at his
destination he took the sweeps to the
booking office and bought them each a
firsteelass ticket back again and put one iu
each laret-class carriage, sacks and all.
now Cloves Grow.
The small evergreen tee from which
cloves are taken was originally a native of
the Spice Islands, but it is now cultivated
in warm climates in all parts of tlie world.
The clove of commerce is the unopened
flower of the tree. They are quite small,
but grow in large clusters among the
branches. After gathering the buds ere
smoked by a wood lire and dried in the sun.
Both the taste and smelt of the cloves de-
pend on the quantity of the oir they con-

Cloves before they are sold, and the odor
