Trolling For Tarpon. It is not easy to hook n tarpon while trolling, f.?r his month is very hard, says Julian A. IHinock in Country IJfo In America, ami much skill may doubtless here be shown. In the playing of the fish the work isabout the same as in still Ashing save that more care must be used, as iho hook is probably not firmly imbedded. Anohl fisherman (old me that lie liked to he sure of his fish and so preferred still fishing, hut to my mind it is one of the objections to that method. Another and stronger objection is the disturbance of my feelings In thinking that I am pulling against a fish's ' in'ards."

The earliest known use of the modern name i occurs in the record of 15."?2, which j mentions that Edward VI. had "one . lurum or watch of iron, the case l?oing ' likewise of Iron gilt, with two plum- t mots of lend." The first watches may c readily be supposed to have been of > rude execution. The first great improvement. the substitution of springs for weights, was in 1550. The earliest springs were not coiled, but only straight pieces of steel. Early watches, had only one hand, and, being wound r up twice a day. they could not be ox- < pel ted to keep time nearer than fifteen i or twenty minutes in the twelve hours. The dial., were of silver or brass. The cases had no crystals, last opened at the back and front and were lour or * five i.i'-hes i.i diameter.

The scene represented was an atlnck by the native allies of the ^ French, the Algouquins, on a i'ort held by Iroquois. The Algouquins advanced through showers of arrows under . * shields nearly as tall as themselves, | like doors with rounded tops. Now, i ' you may see exactly the same sort of shields in a picture of a lion hunt, inlaid in gold and silver, on the bronze blade of a dagger found by Dr. Seliliclniinn in "the grave of Agamemnon." These monstrous Mycenaean shields cause much discussion among the learned. Why were they so huge? The Algouquins used the very same shields, liung from their nocks, and the reason was the same?their battles were battles of archers, and nobody can oarrv ?. ?
