boss or salmon, but from the time Ise is hook-

Speaking of the sea trout proper (Salmo
Canadenso) it must not be confused with s
fish of the same name found in Southern
waters. It is generally believed by iethyo-
logista that the Canadian sea trout is
nothing more than an anackomous brook
trout. Having 0,00088 to the sea the fish
finds it easier to pick up a living there than
in fresh water, and only visits the latter for
the purpose of depositing its spawn, and
then, like the solmth, again makes its way
to the ocean.

silvery color on the sides and belly, with
here and there spots of bright carmine and
pale yellow. The back is dark green with
vermiculatedmorkings of deep brown. After
a few weeks' st*tirn in fresh water, the
silvery brightness of the fish is lost, and,
except for its smaller head and more sym-
metrical proportions, it can, with difficulty,
be distinguished from the ordinary river

From shriek of steam and deafening noise of

Where °tummy hoar the shy brown thrush's

And smell the hay field's sweets.
Therein were order and tranquility
Where all life's jarring discords seem to nage
Far off, the world's loud current hastened by.
But they were calm and peace.
A soothing power charmed that qulet place
With gentle presence and serene control;
A green:me woman, with a still, pale fan.

And ache somotimes—sho said no murmuring

Nor breath of blame, of censure or complaint
From her still lips was heard.

Full of the open air's fresh vigorous life,
And had an hour of rest; a blessed boon
Denied the farmer's wife.

When did she rest? At earliest dawn she woke,
Still tired and. weary limbed,
'co lift oneo more the burden of the, clay,
And boar its heavy weight as best she might ;
Toiling not only daylight's hour away,
But late into tho night.
Today, her patient unoomplaining breast
Forget; all grief and pain ; golden bowl
Is broken ; gone at last to needed rest,
That sweet and silent soul.
Year after year she walked her quiet path.
Burdened with care and toils for every day,
And many childrennatherodround her hearth,
Grew up and went, their way.
Calling her "blessed " as their thoughts went
back
To her mild ministry, and still pale face.
Which the old home must now forever lack,
And nothing can replace.

ney, R. 11. Dun, John (1. Ifeckscher, 0. H.
Payne Henry Sanford, and the Rev. Dr.
Rainalcied, formerly of Toronto. A large
ntunber of English anglers are also visiting
the Dominion resorts this summer. Sa)mon
fishing in the Restigouche region is not very
good as yen and several anglers bave return-
ed disappointed.
Black bass fishing is pretty good, and in '
improving constantly in the well-km.)1yr' re-
sorts, such as the Si. Lawrence and Lake
Ontario waters, where for years many fine
specimens of the ban bays been taken ont,
and where bass fishing has been reduced to
a science both regarding skill and comfort.
Boats are rigged up so that the angler may
troll in the most enjoyable manner possible.
An easy chair is placed in the stern, where
he sits. If he is tired, and does not wish to
carry or hold iiia rod, an outrigger th present
for him to place it on, and a bell attach-
ment added, so that when a fish takes the
bait and puts a little pt -ensure ou the reel,
the bell rings, and the lazy angler may pro-
ceed to play his fish. These piscatorial ac-
commodations, however, are mostly used by
hand -line fishonmen who are not possessed
with that true augler's spirit which leads to
most graceful and sportsmanlike methods of
usiug angling materials. But there are also
cultured fishermen who visit these resorts
and get the fullest amount of pleasure in
their favourite spot by using improved forms
of tackle and landing the fish hs an artistic
manner. Indeed, it would be better for the
lazy fisherman, or, rather, for the Summer
boarders, to confine themselves to pickerel,
a fish of eonsiderable size, but lacking in
that wholenrouled earuestness that a bass
shows when scoured on the end of a line at-
tached to a light split bamboo rod. The
pickerel is acoommodating, and when tho
bell ri tun, showing its preaence on the hook,
the fisherman may even take time enough
to light hie cigar before exerting himself to
dr 12bass angling
the beginner had
better use a, pretty stiff rod at first, and, as
he gains experience in the manipulation of
the fish, gradually lighten his tackle till,
skill is gamed, when the lightes1 of tackle
can be used with pleasure. Fly fishing is the
moat enjoyable form of taking the bass, but
nnfortunately bass are not always anxious to
take the fly, and some bait must be provided
to suit them. It is just about as artistic, bo w
ever, to cast a live minnow for them, and this
isanwer method of gaining results. In casting
a fly for bass, if the bass do not enre to come
to the surface for them, 0 is sometimes best
to allow the flies to sink a little way in the
water Mid slowly trail them along. Bright -
colored flies should be used. When wadiog
in a river, long casts moy be made for bass,
just as in trout fishing. The late afternoon
or evening is the best time, even till it is too
dark to see the Mee.
When a; minnow east is made in a lake or
pond, the little fish must not be slammed on
the water, but must be landed with as little
commotion as possible, A little swirl of the
surface of the water does not matter. The
angler wents his bass to coins from a little
distance with a rush and take the bait with-
out previous investigation. The chances are
that he will then hook himself, and securely.
In twitching him to make tbe hook doubly
fast, deliciteness is the great ttett An im-
mense jerk on the rocl is a big mistake. As
the fish starts off, simply tauten the line
with a twist of the wrist. Then the golden
rule of angling is never to be forgotten,
"Don't give slack line." If the ochre going
to leap out of wotet7lower the tip &little and
he will not • get enough slack to sholce the
hook out of Ms mouth. Practice will show
just how to do this. There is no use in try-
ing to land the bass at once. Let him
run and play till tired. Remember, he may
be the only fish cif the day, so get the enjoy-
ment out of him.
'There are different ways of putting on the
Minnow. The most commi
on s to catch the
hook through the back of the neck and then
toss him out. Some fishermen argue in favor
of heel:ill the minnow near his tail. the idea
being that his head will then poi (downward
and that to the bass it will appear more
natural. In trolling with &minnow Ile must
ne put on in a more seenre manner by hook-
ing through the side, the barb coining tint e.
little near the tail. The boatmen are expert
in fixing the bait in this =tuner.
All sorts of Imitate Wien for the black bass

If it is a showery day, muggy and warm, a
big wad of oommon anglawornis will. often
secure the most fish. The helium -ate is a
killing_ 'bait at times.' This euphoniously
termed insect probably gets its name from
its ugly Oppeenenee.
Then the frog must not be forgotten. A
frog, elicit and clean'of green hues, has
powerful attrnotions for the bass, Pork
rind skit -tad through the water often proves
an alluring 'bait. In the hot August days,
try a big grasshopper or two on the hook.
if tho fishing is oblong loge and dead wood,
use one of those width grub worms found
in rotten stnome. Jame bugs at nightfall
are almost always so good trait for bass as
well as trout. There are a few such days
every Summer when the bees are so anxious
for bait Mutt they will bite a red rag, and
seem to enjoy jumping at it as it is drown
through the water.
Boss grow rapidly, and there is no better
fish to stook ponds with, They like a rocky
bottom, and in lakes or ponds fed by springs
thrive best and taste better. While not
requiring as cold water os the trout, they
will not put up with sr mistagnont water,
like the <tarp end catfish. Bass aml trent
also should never be put in the same ponds.
