The Kind of Baits to Use—Instruc-

Locality—Some Bass Be-
come Very Wise.
(Special ("«rro«|ionrtenoe.]
There lire two kinds of black buss—the
miiuII and the large mouth. The former is
considered the gamier lish of the two, but
In reality their lighting qualities are about)
equal, the only practical difference being in
their weight, the small mouth rarely ex-
ceeding four or live pounds, whereas the
large mouth variety grows to twice that
size.

The rod used for killing this fish must be
both strong and pliant. 1 use a ten ounce
spilt bamboo. The reel should be well
filled with line and the leader double
Knell. My favorite hook lias a curved bow
and long shank, which I find when once
struck in a fish has staying qualities that
are more gratifying to the angler than the
fish.
The following baits are the best:
The minnow, the lamprey eel, Ilelgram-
ite, crawfish, frog, cricket, .grasshopper,
and last, but not least, a. bullhead, from
two to four inches long, which is a capital
bait, although not generally known by the
fraternity, and for large bass is the most
successful one that can be had. This lit-
tle fellow is found under stones in rifts,
and it takes two to catch him.
this kind that got to be as well known as
the bridge itself. He must have weighed
three pounds, looked well fed and was fat
and lazy. Many a time have I stood on
the pier and dropped the bait almost in his
month. Some days he would pay no
attention to it, while on others lie would
root it to one side with his nose. lie was
never known to lose his tempter or move
quickly, and 1 have no doubt he Is still
there to the aggravation of the local
anglers.
Builders' Material'
I Special CoiTf'SpoiiiU'llrc. J
There's fashion in everything. Hanging
goes out of style and electricity comes in.
Tall hats with narrow brims give place to
low ones with narrow brims. Are the
door-knobs of to-day like? the door-knobs
of our grandfather? Not much.
Door knobs, and all sorts of house hard-
ware along with them, are all classic now-
adays. In domestic architecture there is a
decided reaction. Just now a yellow house
with white trimmings is "so artistic."
Five years ago it was hideous; live years
hence it may be hideous again. It is quite
likely that the same is true of the hard-
ware used in trimming houses, and that it
will soon be surpereeded by other designs,
which will bo a great pity, for never since
the days of such old inetalsmlths as Coldini
and Quentin Matsys was so much real art
going into these things as now.
In the first place, all tho best builders'
; hardware is solid metal, and solid metal
always means, in the case of any houses
j with any pretention to dig-.iity, either oxi-
I dized silver, bronze or brass. Hemaeite or
! earthenware for door-knobs, cast iron for
| window catches, spring locks, hinges and
the like, are too cheap anil mean for a lux-
urious age.
CATCHING UF.LGIIAMITEH.
llelgramites and crawfish are used to the
best advantage in bottom fishing. The
hook iR attached to a helgramite under the
hard shell near its head, being careful not
to hook deeply enough to kill it. The
crawfish is hooked through its tail.

WIKAKlNfi WATER.
The sinker should be placed about
eighteen inches from the hook. Make as
long a cast as possible and allow the lead
to reach the bottom and remain there a
few moments. Then reel a little, lte-
peat tills operation until it is necessary to
make another cast.
What first attracts the attention of a
fish is the wriggling and squirming of the
bail. So, of course, the livelier it is the
better. And, for that reason, great caution
is needed that (lie live bait is not killed
when attached to the hook.
If fishing in a lake or stream in which
there is ellgrass or lllypads, allow your bait
to approach them as close as possible. A
black bass, like a trout, has his favorite
lurking place in which he is concealed and
lies in wait for Ills prey, lie is also par-
tial to sunken logs and rocks, but his
favorite haunt is under a dam, and he
loves to play in among the large rocks that
are usually found at the base of a pier. As
a rule, however, these choice places have
been taken advantage of by Tom. Dick
and Ilarry until the few lish that are left,
are so thoroughly trained that the most ex-
pert angler finds his skill ineffective. If
the day is clear that same big old fellow
ca ill bo seen that was there last time. He
swims lazily up to the tempting bait that
is offered him. stops, looks at it, shuts one
eye, smiles at the nsherman, wags his tail
and once more s wims around that big stone
HINGES FOU CABINET.
Tou can put $500 into the hardware of a
modest residence. You can have knobs
and bell-pulls which a sculptor would ad-
mire. and hinges in low relief copied from
Greek friezes. You can have a special de-
sign made for hardware.
There is a man named Lyons in New
York who built a splendid apartment
house. As a sort of grim pun on his name
he had his hardware decorated with lions'
heads. It is rather tough on a convivial
tenant. He goes home a trifle bewildered,
having dined not wisely but too well, and
a big lion's head with grinning distended
jaws welcomes him oil the front door.
That danger past, a smaller one licks its
i teeth on the elevator bell. Another must
• be faced before ho can get into his room.
! and still another grins at him from the in-
: side of the door, and if lie rushes to the
window to call for help a little wee lion
perches on the sash. Then the only thing
to do is to jump into bed, pull the blankets
i over one's eyes and pray for the more
familiar vision of snakes.

Et.ABORATE DOOI! KNull riESIGN.
The throe metals named brass, bronze
and oxidized silver are made up in an
Infinity of designs. Just now, for knobs,
hinges, escutcheons and all uses, perfectly
plain polished surfaces are perhaps tli.i
most in demand, but In each of the three
metal* a surprising variety of e®ect to pn>
duced. The bronze, for instance, nay be
dull or bright, may darken into bleak or be
a combination of bright and dark. Then
there is a bewildering variety of carvings,
mouldings, chasings and reliefs, Moorish,
-Purines, Damascene, Greek, Japanese.
\Whatever the design selected, it is, in a
first-class house, carried throughout and
applied to every item of hardware used,
even to the most insignificant.
The old-fashioned door latch and thumb
plate Is coming into favor, or rather retains
its favor, for its introduction in modern
designs is not a novelty exactly. The
escutcheous with these are necessarily
long and wide, and sometimes termi-
nate in scrolls of questionable taste.
The boauty of this fastening is that
the hand can get a much better grip
upon a bent handle than upon any
style of knob whatever. Another old-
fashioned idea in much favor i\ow is the
knocker. Curiously enough it comes

along with those modern devices, the
electric bell and automatic door opener.
Sometimes the electrical machinery gets
out of order and emits no sound upon the
visitor's pressure of the yielding button.
Then a good four-pound knocker to wake
the echoes withal is certain to bring some
one upon the scene.
The man who bursts a suspender button
regularly every time he tries to lift the
fiushbolt which holds a sliding or folding
door in place—it is usually rusted fast
will appreciate the latest wrinkle iu that
line, a llusliboat worked by a littlo crank
which can be easily turned with a touch of
the foot. 11' there is another at the top of
thedoor he won't have to climb upon a step-
ladder to reach it, but can work it from the
knob escutcheon.
A new feature of the servant's call bell,
is coming into use tor the first time
this spring. Of course the servant's call
bell is Itself aehesnut. It is connected by
a wire with a button under the table, which
the mistress presses with her foot.
In a house where the hardware is modern
and au fait the very clothes hooks In the
closets are solid brass or bronze or oxidized
silver and made iu designs to correspond
ivith the rest of the hardware.
Here the correspondence usually ceases,
though perhaps not always. The making
of gas fixtures, candelabra, sconces, candle-
sticks. electroliers and the like is another
branch of the mechanic arts, and here new
designs are introduced aud new effects
sought for.
Hut whatever the style of fixture at tho
side, overhead, or the newel post, bronze
and brass arc the materials and light and
delicate forms the rule in making them up.
This is a brazen age. Bridget Is lucky if
in a modern house she doesn't have brass
bedsteads to scour as well as brass door-
knobs, gas fixtures and the like.
Wealthy people are growing more and
more inhospitable every year, and every
yeay inventive genius places itself at their
service to keep out undesirable visitors for
an old story. The prophylactic novelty of
the present season is a wrought steel lock,
same size as the old castlron affair, but oh!
how much stronger and more delicate you
can never realize until you try to break or
pick one on a chilly night when the police'
man on that beat is coming round In seV'
teen minutes.
Tongue-Tiers.
The popularity of Peter Piper's cele
brated peck of pickled peppers will proba-
bly never wano as a snare to catch the
tongue that would fain be agile, but the
test has formidable rivals. The following
short sentences, as their author maintains,
do wonders in baffling the ordinary powers
of speech. Kejieat rapidly:

A physician not long since read a paper
before one of the sections of the New York
Academy of Medicine in favor of the llour-
bitll, a simple and easily prepared food for
babies. It is made in this way:
"Pack one quart of sifted flour solidly in
a cloth and boil it four hours; after remov-
ing it from the cloth, scrape off the entire
coating of flour, about a quarter of an inch;
underneath the remaining portion will be
perfectly dry and hard, like chalk. Two
teaspoons of this grated flour, previously
wet with a little milk and made into a
thick paste, add one pint of boiling water,
the same of good, rich milk, two table-
spoons of lime water, one teaspoon of
sugar. After the sixth month four table-
spoons may be used."

FAT AND LEAN.
Characteristics of Mon with an
Excess or a l.ack of Flesh.
it may be observed, without inton-
tioual offense to any young lady who
muy be enamored of some skoleton-
llke young- man that, as a rule, fat
mon, besides boiug' tho most jolly and
convivial of the male species, arc also
apt to be tho most considerate of and
cliurltnbie to others. Most fat men
are over ready to smile, nay, to laugh
heartily. They usually possess happy
natures—perhaps because as a class
they have good appetites and enjoy
what they cat. They are inoro socia-
ble than their loan brethren —a fact
which properly explains why no on©
ever hoard of a lean men's olam-bake.
After all is said that can be said
against them the fact, still remains that
neven out of ton fat men make excel-
lent husbands.
Most unmarried ladios cherish as
their Ideals men who are tall and can
not boast of any unusual amount of
adiposo tissue. They spurn the idea
of a fat man for a life-long compan-
ion, and yet. many marriages with fat
men and also witli men who grow rap-
idly or gradually stout after marriage
have turned out very well.
A lady who has her homo on Fifth
avenue, a widow, whoso t wo husbands
repose jido by side in Greenwood, re-
marked the other day to tho writer:
■My first husband was of tho brunette
order, tall, angular, sallow-faced,
saturnine, nervous—oven to irritability
at times, and more or less of an in-
valid during the latter part of his life.
No couple could have furnished a
wider ooutrasfc in temperament than
ourselves. I am social by nature, fond
of attending theaters and of sight,-soc-
ing, while he was a morbid recluse,
taking no interest, whatever in the
world's gayeties. I really believe if
he had hud a little more llosh on his
bones ho would have been a different,
not to say a happier man. Mind you I
am casting no stones at his cherished
memory. My second husbjmd belong-
ed to another genus. Iro was 0 foet
2 inches in height and weighed 230
pounds. lie was a pronounced blonde
and a perfect picture of health. lie
took an interest in everything, though
not to the detriment of his business. I
never had to ask him twice to go any-
where with me. Ho was always eager
to participate in anything where mirth
and a good time were promised. Hut
tho poor man drank too much cham-
pagne and ate too many late suppers
and apoplexy carried him off."
A lady in Brooklyn on being asked
what physical style of a man she pre-
ferred replied: "The ono I have suits
me very well, lie is neither fat nor
lean. According to my ideas of mas-
culine physique lie is just right."
Another lady who was present volun-
teered the information that her hus-
band was too fat for his own comfort
and that when he moved lie suggested
to her a big pieco of animated jelly.
Going up one flight of stairs made him
puff like a flre-cngino, and lie was
always complaining of some pain. She
feared that lie had fatty degeneration
of tho heart It seemed to her that
his moral sense h id grown blunter as
ho acquired flesh, and in conclusion slio
said that she did not have much admi-
ration for flabby fat. men.
A popular clergyman, who weiclis
over 250, on being asked his views re-
specting fat men thus replied, with a
merry twinkle in his eye: "There are
different kinds of fat men. There is
the little, round, oily, fat man. There
is the digastric fat man who owes his
extreme avoirdupois to beer mid liitrh
living. Of course I can not approve
of him as a fat man. Then there is
the man wlio gets abnormally fat be-
cause lie is lazy aud indolent. To mo
such a. man is an object for compas-
sion. But for the man who is born
and stays fat or the man who gets fat
naturally as ho matures I have the
highest respect, providing tho man iu
other ways is worthy."
A lank, cadavcrous-vlsaged poet,
who is often seen walking along News-
paper row, was recently asked if he
would not enjoy life more keenly if
he were a trifle more corpulent. "No,"
he swiftly and disdainfully answered,
"corpulency befits aldermen, boodlcrs,
and saloon keepers. Though a liter-
ary man, I never indulge in malt,
which—to paraphrase from Emerson-
is 'making our Western wits fat and
mean.1 You will find that the major-
ity of intellectual people ore not gross,
though many of them are what might
bo termed plump. Point nic out ton
fat men and I will point, you out nine
stupid men. Was Apollo coarse and
unctuous!* Was the Greek conception
of a perfectly molded body that of one
weighing MOO pounds? No. Art and
poetry ever have sought to imortalize
such lithe and willowy forms as that of
Venus, sueh trim, athletic liinbs as
those of Diana, such graceful symmetry
as that of Hebe. Really, I would rath-
er be a snail than a fat man."
"Assuming," observed tho poet's
f|iistioner. "that as n rule those not
fat arc the most intellectual and
ouiinent in the world, how do you ac-
count for tho fact that of all tho
people who obtain divorces only about
one-fourth are fat people!"'
"Oh," returned the poet, "you
might as well ask' why there are not as
many fat, people iu the world as lean.
I am not married, but if I ever do take
a wife you may rest assured that she
will not be a woman of such dimen-
sions as to attract offers from dime
museum managers."
Then the long-haired votary of the
muse pur-ued his fanciful way toward
a l.j-cent restaurant. Epoch.

Down in I, - - thirty years ago we had
the ehr.mpion fighting cock of the
state. Ho wai picked up in tho coun-
try by a chicken buyer, and no one
knew his breed. II" was big and solid,
and afior he had been taught to sav
his wind and to use his spurs he cleanc
out everything which was put down
before him. His longest battle lasted
Only scvon minutes, and the number of
cocks he knocked out in two or three
would till a moving van. He was in
his zointh, and the half dozen of ua
who owned him were in financial
clover when a tin peddler drove into
the villade ono night and bogan to
banter us to sell. He offered us 16.
♦10, $30 for "Fighting Bob," but wo
would not have taken $200.
"I've made a big offor for a second-
class bird," ho said as we laughed at
him.
"Second-class! Whore is tho ono to
whin him?"
"Right in this yore wagon. He can
lick the stuttln' outer that rooster in
five minutes."
"Bet you two to one."
"Go a lectio slow, boys, a leetle
slow. I'vo got a lightln' bird in thero,
and don't you forget it, but he's got a
pecooliarity. He won't tight with tho
lights on. If he would I'd bet you ton
to one. If your bird could only fight
in the dark wo might, make a match."
"How in the dark?"
"Wall, s'poson wo put 'em in a box-
stall in tho barn? The lamp will throw
some light, but it'll be dark enuff for
Jinuary, as 1 call him, to feci his oats.
We'll shet 'em up together fur half an
hour, and if your untorriliod terror
an't licked by that time yon kin take
my $100. If your bird licks mine-
wail, I'll bet two lo ono ho don't."
Wo wore wild for a light, and wo
scrapcd up $00 and hot it, against $100
that our "Bob" would lick tho strang-
er. He had good eyesight, and as wo
had the privilege of putting gaffs on
him wo felt that lie could take care of
himself against anything. The ped-
dler got his bird out of his wagon,
keeping him covered with a, piece of
cloth, and by and by tho pair woro
placed in a stall near tho back cud of
t.ho barn. All of us withdrew to tho
lantern hanging in front. In a couple
of minutes wo hoard a sort of "Who-

and a flapping of wings, and wo nudg-
ed tho ]x;ddIor in tho ribs and express-

"That's all right, boys—all right,"
lie replied. "Give 'em throo minutes
more and then see which is on top."
At the end of live minutes wo car-
ried the lantern down and opened the
door. Our Boh lay there, dead as a

owl almost as big as a goose. That

Probably the luckiest investment Mr.
Blaine ever mado was in tho Littlo

large sum Mr. Blaine's share has been
about one-seventh. "That mine ap-
pears to bo misnamed," said a friend
to him, recently, "it, should bo called
Great, Hope instead of Little Hope."
"Yes," replied the Secretary, "Great
Hope would be better. I hJfvo already

ABOUT PARALYSIS.
In tho Treatment of All It* Varls*
ties Rest Is Absolutely Essen*
tlal.
A correspondent nslts us about pars*
sis—Its symptoms, treatment and cura-
bility, and whether it might come to A
young man of twouty-one who had been
very greatly taxed with study, business
and anxieties?
Paresis is an incomplete form of p" 7
ralysis. It may bo quite slight, or n /
rise In u degree almost up to complete
noss. The cause, symptoms and treaOr
meat of both diseases are essentially'
the same, and oven paralysis may be
curable. We shall, therefore, spoak ok
paralysis in general.
This affliction may have Its existing
cause in the brain, in tho spinal cord,
or iu tho nerves themselves, away ,
from both tho nervous centers, in
which case it is called peripheral pa-
ra lysis.
Peripheral paralysis may result from
destructive injury to a nerve, or a
pressure upon it, or from some deseaae
Affecting it. The connection in those
cases is cut off bet,ween the muscles
and their cerebral, or spinal, center.
Spinal paralysis may bo caused by an
injury of tho spinal cord. In this case,
the paralysis is below tho injury.
There may also be a degenerative dis-
ease of more or less of the cord, whioh
interferes witli tho free flow of tho
nervous currents lo the muscles from
tho centers of volution iu tho brain.
The strange gesticulations of "looo*
motor ataxia" are due lo this cause.
Among the causes of cerebral paral-
ysis are obstructions to arterial circu-
lation in tho brain by emboli (bits ef
coagulum) carried into the smaller
blood-vessels, most often from the
heart,; blood clots from minute hemor-
rhages; pressure from ovcr-dlstended
celebral arteries, and from tumors.
Generally tho paralysis is on one side
of tho body the side opposite to that
of the cerebral lesion, or injury. If tho
face is affected, it, is drawn toward the
sound Hide by tho strength of thi un-
affoctod muscles. In paresis tho mus-
cles may bo simply more or less weak-
ened.
There are various forms of paralystl
duo to poisons, as lead, for instance,
or to diseases, as diphtheria. These
are gonorally eurablo. Sometime*
cold will give rise to a temporary
paralysis of the part, exposed to ii
There is a. form called "acute ascend*
Ing paralysis," which begins in the
feet and extends rapidly to the trunk,
involving the muscles of respiration,
and thence upward to tho muscles of
speech, mastication and swallowing.
Paralysis Is not confined to any pe^>
tlcular period of life. Infantile paraljp*
sis is somewhat common.
There is a form called functioni
paralysis, duo to conditions not
understood, but sometime' connected
with exhaustion from ovk exertion Of

In the treatment of these eases, real
