Monday to come, they aro s< anxious to get

the stores os‘hens'and ‘rifters’ and theii
mission in life seems to be to make tho clerk.1
‘tired.’ Monday after Monday I seo bun
dreds of faces that I have not seen for just a
week, and I know them like a book. I don’t
suppose any of them spend more than flftj
coats or $1, but what they don't know on th<
subject of bargains isn’t worth knowing.
They know all about prints and prices, il
they don’t know anything else. Some o!
them haven’t got over tho old fashion ol
trying to beat tho clerk down. That used tc
be the favorite pastime ^f many estimabh
old ladies from the north end, but with th<
modern methods of doing retail business, il
is just as useless as talking to a stone wall.
"Tuesday is a better kind of shopping day
The ‘mistresses’ come out I suppose they
have com© to learn that tho bargain huntei
must havo her day, and there is not mucl
comfort in entering into competition witk

and then they eome forth in all their glory
We know them pretty well now, but there is,
of course, less sameness in this class of cua

that where they came so often, as many ol
them undoubtedly do, they would get used tc

your way through Boston'« narrow streets,
and if they should com every week. 1 don’t
believe that it would bo possible to get used
to the change and uct like city people. The
country people are good people for ns tc

more considerate than the people of the city
are. Wo watch their interests closely, too,
and guard them against pickpockets, to whom
they might easily fall victims. Yet 1 will

FISHING FOR TROUT.
I
The Neceseary Outfit—Skill Inquired to
Make a Lucky Fisherman.
Trout fishing is ot two kind»—bait Cell
Ing with earth worm» In the ponds and
stream and the casting nt artificial flies on
tho surface of the water. Bait fishing is
the first in order, lt 1» less exjiensivv
and require» less skill and delicacy ol
handling than fly Ashing. During the
height ot the season there nre times when,
for some unaccountable reason, trout will
not rise to the most tempting fly, but will
take a worm deftly dropped lietore its I
nose.
A rod should lie fourteen feet long,
about seven ounce» in weight, and so
tough, strong mid elastic as to bend al
most double without I peaking. /V good
red, fitted to it. and a line of silk or linen
with snel's and hooks, a box of bait, a
sinker on each snell heavy enough to pre
vent the current of swiit stream» from
whirring the hook about too fast, and a
creel to carry the fish in completes the
equipment. In trout fishing, as in violin
playing, more depends upon skill than
anything else. The musician can delight
his hearers with a fairly good instrument
mure than can the tyro with a Stradi
vari us, and the skillful disc pie ut Isaak
Walton can cutcii more trout with a com
mon rod and self made flies than the
novice can with the most expensive par
aphernalia.
When a sinker is used in bait fishing,
as it must l>e, it should be fastened so
that the loop in the gut or snell of the
hook is above it. The hook should be
about a foot below the sinker. Common
earth worms are the best, and should be
put on by running the hook through and
through them, care being taken to cover
completely the luirband tho »haft.
Casting is only learned by practice; it
cannot be taught theoretically any more
than can swimming, riding or shooting.
The line in fishing should be habitually
kept at the length ot tho rod. Keep out
of sight of the fish. When once the trout
Is on. never slacken the line. Pull stead
ily, but firmly, and jerk quickly if he
jumps out of the water, for there he is
apt to unhook himself ami escape. Arti
ficial flies are too numerous for descrip
tion. They may be made at home with a
few feathers ami a little colored sewing
silk, but fly hooks are now so reasonable
in price and so complete in arrangement
that it is better to buy them than to trust
to one’s own ingenuity unless, indeed, one
be a connoisseur, in which case these
hints are useless.
Tackle should be of the lightest and
strongest descript ion. The scientific trout
fisher is the man who can cast ally within
the space of a pocket handkerchief at
about eighteen yards’distance. It must
drop upon the water as iightly as ft real
fly would light, and the rbd must be held
well up and »ecurely in the right hand.—

In
a
Venetian Church.
It was in this clinrch that I became
fully conscious of the superior methods of
the Catholic church in Europe, at least in
their ability to reach down and take in all
classes of people. The churches of Italy
are open nt all hours and times. The
central portions of the churches are clear.
There are chairs al sut which can lie used
upon special (wens/. his or by delicate peo
ple, but in this Venetian church the audi
ence stood ns the., would at a political out
door meeting. There was an utter ol>-
sence of formal requirement which was
most agreeable to witness. People came
in and went out as they pleased. Even
those who were listening to the sermon
felt under no compunctions to listen to
more than they cared to bear. They could
listen to a portion and then move on.
People came in out of the street just as
they happened to I m » dressed in passing.
Exquisitely dressed ladies from the high
est class stood side by side with market
women who came in with their baskets.
Here was the first church service that I
had ever witnessed in my life where It was
evident that everyone was made welcome,
and that in this splendid palace of religion
there was the most perfect democracy to
be found in its audience.—T. C. Crawford

without stopping to gaz.« xt the woudert ul
sights within.
DAHKIEl* SEE1NO THK SIGHTS.
It was no uncommon thing to see four or
five colored ladms and gentlemen, with
loaded trays bulanced on their beads, stand
ing in front of tbe Lark lodge gates at once
fairly drinking in the Oriental niagnificeucv,
Tbe great sight consisted principally of the
fountain in tbe middle of the yard and a few
strangers sitting under the archway leading
to tbe hotel oflice; but this was enough to in
terest the sable trumps, who had already
trudged over miles of dusty roads to bring
theii gtxxis to market, and still had a
long walk before them. It is only fair
to tbe colored people of Jamaica to
say that they do less of this sort
of thing than their brethren on any other
English island in the West Indies. in
Montserrat, for instance, they regard a
strange white man as a colossal aggregated
circus come to town, and fol lew him wherever
he goes. In Nassau, though they are used to
seeing strangel’s, tiiey surround a new arrival
in droves, and make great efforts to secure a
nixpenee or even “a big copper, boss." In
Barlsuioes, where thr improvement of the
negro race under British rule is seen to tha
best advantage, they set after a newly ar
rived stranger like a crew of Malay pirate*
till he is driven to take refuge in the nearest
shelter But in Juniaiea they are quiet, in
offensive, and generally well behaved and
polite. Of courst those who make infrequent
trips from their country homes to the capital

town. I thought at first that these lads and
lassos with trays ou their head* who stopped
to stare in the gate were waiting for a chance
to sell their wares, but they bad no such idea.
Two or three sfiecial ones came in every
morning to sell eggs and fresh fruit, tut they
were ail One morning a girl came in with a
dozen fine alligatoi pears, which 1 bought for
a few [Minnies; but I found soon afterward
that I had captured th? hotel’s supply for tbe
day. and I bad to surrender them.
One of the earliest arrivals every morning
was the man who sold photographs This
title I give him, “The man who sold photo
graphs.” partly out of courtesy and partly
because I do not know what else to call him.
He was hardly a men, although he had the
outward appearance of one, for be had no
more intelligence than one of the goldfish in
the fountain, and he did not sell photographs,
for notxxiy ever bought any , the pictures be
offered were hardly worthy the name of pho
tographs, being the worst smudges tbe sun
was ever made accountable for.
THE VICTORIA MARKET.
Park lodge is perhaps a trifl? over a mile
from the end of the street car line, and the
market is one short block from the terminus.
This is the Victoria market, the prinmjml

the Jubilee market, in another part of tbe
